"So the matter of Martial Saint Azure Cloud's tomb was also a vicious trap laid by the White Lotus Sect."
"We've always kept to our own wells without troubling your river. Why would you do this to us?"
The Water Division Dharma King, dressed in blue robes and at the Martial Saint Realm Fifth Level, stepped forward.
A mocking smile curled his lips.
"You're clever, Master Pure Land. This tomb was a setup by our sect from the start. Those Dao soldiers, poisoned needles, and stupefying incense were merely there to exhaust the true essence of Martial Saints like you."
"Although the materials for refining Martial Saint Realm White Lotus Dao Soldiers are rather difficult to find, our sect has managed to gather some over these past few decades."
"At present, we're still short of a few Martial Saint Realm bodies."
"What?"
A martial artist at the third level of the Martial Saint Realm roared angrily.
"You tricked us martial artists into coming here just to refine us into White Lotus Dao Soldiers?"
"What else? What did you think?"
The Wood Division Dharma King in green robes chuckled, revealing the imposing aura of the Martial Saint Realm Sixth Level as his fingertips lightly traced the lotus pattern on a stone pillar.
"Martial Saint Azure Cloud's tomb is real, but we excavated this place long ago. Those martial arts manuals in the second section were all ordinary fare. We simply took the martial arts manual from this wooden box long ago."
"We merely borrowed his name to lure greedy fellows like you onto the hook. Kill the low- and mid-level martial artists, refine the Martial Saints into Dao soldiers-what a perfect plan."
"When that happens, our White Lotus Sect's strength will increase dramatically again. Overthrowing Great Xuan might even become possible."
