Hu Shu looked at the monster beasts and Black Robe coming like a tide, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "Everyone listen to the order, maintain the formation, don't panic! Fellow Daoists of the Interception Sect, let's use Combined Spell together to break their offensive!" Everyone responded in unison and prepared their spells. At this moment, a huge monster jumped up and rushed towards Hu Shu, its mouth wide open, exuding a disgusting smell. Hu Shu's eyes were firm, and he tightened his grip on Treasure Sword, preparing to receive this fierce blow.
Hu Shu dodged sideways to avoid the monster's attack. At the same time, he waved Treasure Sword in his hand, and a sharp Sword Qi shot out, hitting the monster's abdomen. The monster felt pain and let out a thundering roar., the huge body hit the ground heavily. Hu Shu did not pause at all and continued to direct everyone to fight. Jie Sect Disciples cast spells one after another. For a time, various lights flashed, and the roar of the spells made the earth tremble.
The Human Race warriors were not afraid either. They held weapons and fought with Black Robe at close quarters. The shouts of killing and screams were intertwined and filled the entire battlefield. Wu Zetian was among the crowd, with sharp swordsmanship and powerful magic power in each sword, repelling the approaching Black Robe one by one.
After a fierce battle, Mysterious Faction finally couldn't resist and began to retreat. Hu Shu looked at their leaving figures and did not relax his vigilance. He knew that this was only a temporary calm, and Mysterious Faction would definitely make a comeback.
"Let's check the casualties first." Hu Shu said loudly. Everyone began to get busy, treating the wounded and cleaning up the battlefield. Hu Shu searched the battlefield carefully, trying to find some clues about Mysterious Faction.
Suddenly, he found a special magic weapon next to the corpse of a Black Robe. This magic weapon had a strange shape, emitted a faint light, and was covered with Mysterious Runes. Hu Shu picked up the magic weapon and looked at it carefully, feeling doubts in his heart.
"Master, look at this." Wu Zetian walked over, holding a broken piece of cloth in his hand with some strange patterns on it.
Hu Shu took the piece of cloth, put it together with the magic weapon, and compared it carefully. He found that there seemed to be some connection between the pattern on the cloth and the runes on the magic weapon.
"This may be the key clue to unlock the identity of Mysterious Faction." Hu Shu said.
Later, Hu Shu and others discovered some traces of spells on the battlefield. These traces were different from the spells they had seen before and had a unique atmosphere.
After returning to ZhaoGe City, Hu Shu immediately summoned the wise men from Human Race and the spell experts from Jie Sect Disciple to come to the meeting hall to study these magic weapons and spell traces.
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was solemn. Everyone was sitting around a huge table. On the table were magic weapons and related items collected from the battlefield.
Hu Shu handed the magic weapon and piece of cloth to a Human Race wise man and said, "Everyone, this attack by Mysterious Faction is extremely strange. We found these things on the battlefield. Let's see if you can find any clues about their identities."
A gray-haired Human Race wise man picked up the magic weapon, carefully observed the runes on it, and then looked at the patterns on the cloth. He frowned and said, "Judging from these runes and patterns, it seems to be somewhat similar to the style of the Western Sect, but not exactly the same."
"Western Sect?" Hu Shu's heart moved. Western Sect has always been eyeing Human Race from the East. Is this Mysterious Faction really related to them?
A magic expert from the Interception Sect took the magic weapon, closed his eyes, and used his magic power to feel the remaining breath on the magic weapon. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "In addition to the characteristics of the Western Sect, the breath on this magic weapon also has a faint breath of Demon Race."
"Demon Race?" Everyone was stunned. After Tribulation of Witches and Demons, although Demon Race's strength was greatly reduced, there are still some residual forces hidden in Primordial World. Could it be that these Demon Race forces are enemies of Human Race?
At this time, Wu Zetian said, "Master, seniors, I think this may not only be done by Western Sect remnants or Demon Race forces. Judging from their attack methods and layout, it seems to be a conspiracy of multiple forces."
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. What Wu Zetian said was not unreasonable. Mysterious Faction's action this time was well planned and could not be accomplished by a single force.
"What Miss Wu said is absolutely true." A Human Race wise man nodded and said, "We might as well look for clues from Primordial History to see if a similar situation has happened."
As a result, everyone began to consult a large number of ancient books and make various speculations and arguments based on Primordial History.
Hu Shu was flipping through an ancient Ancient Book, which recorded a story about the alliance of various forces in ancient times to fight against powerful enemies. An idea flashed in his mind and he said, "Everyone, can we assume that this time Mysterious Faction It is formed by a combination of Western Sect remnants, Ancient Demon Race Faction who are trying to maintain the division of Human Race, and perhaps even some other hidden forces. Their purpose is to stop us Human Race Unification and undermine our development."
After hearing this, everyone agreed. But this was just speculation and there was no conclusive evidence.
In the following time, everyone continued to conduct in-depth research. They started from the material of the magic weapon, the principle of the spell, etc., trying to find more clues.
Wu Zetian was carefully recording the results of everyone's discussion while thinking about her own thoughts. She felt that since Mysterious Faction deliberately targeted Human Race here, they must have an ulterior motive.
"Master, I think we can start from the source of these magic weapons and spell traces." Wu Zetian suddenly said, "Maybe we can find their lair or some key figures."
After hearing this, Hu Shu's eyes lit up and he said, "Wu'er, you are right. We can send some elite spies to investigate these clues secretly."
After everyone discussed it, they decided to act according to Wu Zetian's suggestion.
However, although everyone's speculation about Mysterious Faction's identity is gradually focused, there is still no conclusive evidence. If there is indeed a coalition of multiple forces, what kind of complex and powerful enemies will Hu Shu and others face? How can they further find out the true identity of Mysterious Faction? All of this is like a fog, shrouding everyone's minds.
