"Wushi Sect?" Wei He was taken aback. When was the last time he had heard that name? It seemed to have been when he had first arrived in Great Yue.
Back then.
He sank into thought.
"Yes. Some time ago, the military combined its intelligence with Moon Veil's and launched a surprise attack on Wushi Sect in Far Hope, near Haizhou. It involved plans targeting Xuanmiao Sect, so it would not be convenient for me to elaborate. Still, there were some gains."
Li Rong said softly, "We surrounded and killed a Wushi Sect Grandmaster, then used materials from his mutated body to forge some equipment. This precious medicine was found on that Grandmaster's body."
Wei He fell silent for a moment.
"Teacher, why have we suddenly started raiding Far Hope again for no reason?"
"It is not for no reason. Far Hope is the stronghold of True Force martial artists. Now it has gathered a great number of True Force remnants from within the country, and supposedly some organization called Tide has been stirring up trouble there as well. What is wrong with taking the chance to weaken them?" Li Rong replied blandly.
Yet seeing the obvious disbelief in her disciple's eyes, she paused before sighing helplessly.
"Fine, fine. Everything before was an excuse. The real reason was that the Dharmakaya of that Wushi Sect Grandmaster after mutation contained high-quality materials needed for the imperial experiments."
That truly was a simple reason.
Wei He had no response. Thinking of the miserable state of the once-prosperous Wushi Sect, he felt a faint, inexplicable sorrow.
Today's Great Yue had indeed already far surpassed those sects of Far Hope.
"Come to think of it, perhaps you encountered True Force martial artists before as well. But let the past remain in the past.
