Chapter 1130: 571 has long been unbeatable (4000)_2 Chapter 1130: 571 has long been unbeatable (4000)_2 Some local schools, unable to come to the surface, thought to resort to underhanded tactics. Their relations with some underground organizations and the government had always been intricate and tangled, making it easy for them to muster both fair and foul means. However, those who were sought through shady means simply vanished from the face of the earth, including the disciples from their factions who were involved. As for the fair means, there was absolutely no news, as if some officials had been warned by their superiors, not allowed to meddle in matters related to the Demon Idol Sect.

In short, the Demon Idol Sect began to sweep through the Eastern Martial World with terrifying speed, and it had already extended its dark claw towards the entire Hong Li Federation.

For a time, various forces were astonished, feeling that something was not quite right. A shocking change, unseen in a thousand years, was about to burst forth.

East Sea County, East Sea City, inside the core manor of Yunquan Fist.

In a wide conference hall covered with large panes of brown glass.

The East Eight Gates were gathered here, each seated in their respective places, all exuding a very heavy momentum. One after another, they silently read the documents in their hands.

After quite a while, someone finally broke the silence.

He was an elder from Yunquan Fist.

“Gentlemen, the Demon Idol Sect has accelerated its pace.

“In just half a month, the number of Devil Idol Martial Academies they have opened in hundreds of cities across the six counties of the east has severely threatened our base. According to various indices and statistics, nearly five-sixths of the fresh blood in combat has flowed into the Devil Idol Martial Academies! And in the martial arts halls of our East Nine Gates, the number of new disciples worth cultivating has decreased by sixty percent…”

“This is no longer a matter of competition between two sides; it’s a one-sided affair now… Isn’t the Federal Government going to do something about it?”

The elder’s voice was angry, his beard beneath his nose bristling.

“They can’t manage.” A bald muscleman dressed in a black combat suit spoke: “Don’t forget, when the Evil Eye Fist organized the exchange meeting, the Demon Idol Sect made an attack, and made a stunning appearance there. The figure that has always stood behind them is the Black Mechanism, a representative of the will of the Federal Government…”

“But the two should have a cooperative relationship. No matter how close, they aren’t one entity. With the growth momentum of the Demon Idol Sect, isn’t the Black Mechanism afraid that the Demon Idol Sect will eventually become too big to control?” said the bearded old man. “Or is the Demon Idol Sect just a dog of the Black Mechanism, a subordinate they’re raising?”

“Most likely.” Another Elder from the East Nine Gates spoke: “Many schools wanted to cause trouble for the Demon Idol Sect, but the local government officials were basically warned by higher-ups. They won’t get involved with the Demon Idol Sect’s affairs…”

As this elder spoke, he remembered the incident at his own school’s martial arts hall from a few days prior. He had personally approached a local official, who had once been his disciple. However, the usual face and the bond of master and disciple were of no use. No matter what the elder said, the official shook his head. When asked why the government was so biased toward the Demon Idol Sect, the official’s face showed difficulty. He seemed as if he wanted to explain but was too ashamed to do so.

In the end, it was left unresolved.

The conference hall fell silent again, and minutes later someone spoke up.

“Speaking of which, you must have all sent spies to scout out the Devil Idol Martial Academies. Any key information? We are all in the same boat now, it’s not the time to hide anything,” said the bearded elder from Yunquan Fist, his gaze slowly sweeping over the others in the hall.

However, as soon as his eyes passed over them, everyone shook their heads. All with furrowed brows and faces of deep grievance, as if they were somewhat embarrassed.

“Sigh…” The bearded elder exhaled deeply.

“It appears your situations are the same as ours at Yunquan Fist.”

The East Nine Gates, being major schools in the six counties of the east, naturally reacted the moment the Demon Idol Sect made its move. Whether it was sending spies to the martial arts halls to snoop around, or even sending disciples from their own schools to learn by stealth, everything that could be done had been done. They had thought they would receive some key information to turn the tide, or at the very least, allow the spies to blend in continuously, serving as an internal nail or climbing to a position of trust in the martial arts halls.

However, to everyone’s utter surprise.

The spies sent out by the East Nine Gates, even their own disciples, had all freaking defected! Just like a drop in the ocean, as soon as they went in, there was no trace of them. No sight of them, no contact with them, it was as if they had simply run off. This was truly shocking and perplexing for the East Nine Gates.

Only a single piece of information came back from those spy disciples. It was from a core disciple of Yunquan Fist who had been nurtured from a young age and was about to earn a core disciple spot in the subsequent inner gate competition.

In terms of loyalty, he is perhaps the highest among all the undercovers.

On the third day after entering the Devil Idol Martial Academy, he sent back a message.

“I’m sorry, Master, I am truly sorry for the years of nurturing by Yunquan Fist, and for not living up to your expectations for me…”

“When I entered the Devil Idol Martial Academy, I was always thinking of the task in my heart. Bearing the mission to gather information, I didn’t dare to be careless. The first day was like that, the second day was like that, until today. The martial arts hall chose me to be infused as fresh blood, and I came into contact with it…”

“It’s so thrilling! It’s truly too thrilling! In just one morning, I have become its slave, unable to live without it…”

“I apologize, Master, I really am sorry!”

The note was crumpled, and the handwriting was all over the place, like ants crawling across it. On the surface of the note were suspicious traces that looked like dried saliva and tears. It seemed that the disciple who wrote this note was experiencing something unparalleled at that time.

It was remarkable that he had the willpower to send out the final message.

Of course, after the note was sent out.

The devoted inner sect disciple also fell silent.

“So, what exactly is that thing that can make someone feel so exhilarated?”

The Elder of Yunquan Fist tapped his fingers on the tabletop, sighing and shaking his head.

“Tap tap tap… tap tap tap…”

Suddenly, a series of footsteps came from outside the conference hall, followed by urgent knocking. Soon, an elite disciple of Yunquan Fist walked in.

“Elders, the latest news! Devil Idol Sect will hold a Federation Combat Competition on December 1st, the location is Baichuan City! They have already sent out invitations in advance, inviting all combat schools of the Federation to participate…”

“What!?”

In the conference hall, the Great Elders of the East Nine Gates stood up in an emotionally charged outburst. Someone said, “Isn’t this just like the Eastern Martial World Exchange Meeting?”

“Devil Idol Sect actually wants to organize an enlarged version, boldly inviting all the Federation’s combat schools? Doesn’t the Demon Figure Gate Master fear becoming a laughingstock? Devil Idol Sect is just a newly emerged school, previously unknown, and now all of a sudden in a rush to hold some Federation Combat Competition!” Some Elders shook their heads, some frowned, some looked concerned…

If East Nine Gates don’t change, Devil Idol Sect will force them to change.
