Chapter 240 Inside Story
Zheng Su put down the teacup in his hand, then sighed lightly, formed a seal with his fingers, and a screen completely isolated the entire reception room.
When the others saw this scene, they all became serious, and the living room became eerily quiet.
"That Meng Jun is the twenty-fourth general under the Demon King, and his realm is at the early stage of Dust Breaking. But he is also the most special one. I didn't expect that he would be killed by you two guys.
The alien demons have a special cultivation system. They are determined to capture our continent and find the so-called energy core, which is the hub of our continent. If it is taken away, the entire continent will collapse, and all living things will suffer.
The human race is weak now and can only resist. We cannot completely rush into the alien demon's lair to wipe it out. The alien demon king is estimated to be as powerful as the Golden Immortal, and none of us can stop him.
However, due to reasons unknown to us, the Demon King is now trapped in the Outer Realm and cannot descend upon our continent, so he can only send his minions to invade."
After Zheng Su finished speaking, he drank his tea, leaving time for others to digest.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang felt that the burden on them was even heavier. They looked at each other and felt a little numb.
They have just formed their Dan and Yuanying stages, while the opponents have already reached the Daluo Jinxian stage. Although Senior Zheng Su said that, the situation is probably not very optimistic.
Originally, they didn't understand the situation very well, but now they finally know that humans are weak. If the Demon King really enters the Meteorite Continent one day, I'm afraid no one can stop him.
The sect leader was also surprised. He knew some inside information, but he didn't expect that there really was a Daluo Jinxian. No wonder he saw other sect leaders advocating anti-war, but the central part never agreed.
Elder Han and Elder Yan remained silent. This was no longer something they could advocate for.
The realm of Daluo Jinxian seemed to overwhelm everyone present, and the atmosphere became depressed again.
Zheng Su put down the teacup, looked at the dejected crowd, and said to Hu Qing and Gu Yang:
"Why, you want to give up so quickly? This is unlike you. Humanity is not as bad as you think. As long as the Demon King doesn't come out, there is hope for humanity."
Hearing this, Gu Yang raised his head again. Yes, he wanted to be the sect leader, how could he give up so easily.
He has only been practicing for a short time, but he has already reached his current level, not to mention that Hu Qing is accompanying him.
As long as there is enough time, defeating the Demon King will be a piece of cake.
He turned around, patted Hu Qing's shoulder, and said with a grin:
"Ah Qing, just trust us. Give us some time and the Demon King will be easily defeated!"
Hu Qing looked at Gu Yang helplessly and nodded, not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm.
However, one cannot completely believe what Zheng Su said. He now understands that the Eastern Inspector is not a good person.
He was tired of eating this kind of pie when he was working. Now he doesn't feel anything when he hears it. He just wants to rely on himself.
"Then why can't the "Great Dream Art" be used? Why are all my disciples unconscious? What is the reason?" Elder Han asked Zheng Su anxiously.
"Didn't your peak master leave any message at that time?" Zheng Su asked in surprise.
Elder Han and Elder Yan shook their heads, while the sect leader looked apologetic.
He looked at Elder Yan and said, "Before your father went into seclusion, he told me that he was not feeling well and that something might go wrong, so he left me a crystal and asked me to pass it on to the next Peak Master.
I pressed him but he refused to tell me, and later we only found his body. I wanted to give you the crystal as well, but it was inexplicably destroyed, leaving only a pile of useless debris.
After that, Mengfeng never had a Peak Master, so I forgot about this matter. It wasn’t until the senior mentioned it today that I remembered it.”
After the sect leader finished speaking, he carefully took out some gray powder from his storage ring, fearing that it would be blown away with a single breath.
Elder Yan stared at the powder, sitting there in a daze, not saying a word or moving.
Elder Han waved his hand and asked the sect leader to take the powder back. He knew his senior brother and estimated that his senior brother was in a state of panic.
He had never believed that his father was dead. He had searched all over the country but couldn't find any relevant information. Now he knew that he was really dead. He must be devastated at this moment.
Hu Qing and Gu Yang were now shocked. They didn't expect that the mysterious peak master was actually the father of Elder Yan.
The clan leader looked at Zheng Su weakly, motioning him to continue. Zheng Su took a sip of water and said:
"This has to do with the time when the alien demons first invaded. At that time, the human race was at its weakest, and countless sages sacrificed their lives to bring hope to the Meteorite Continent.
Later, some people discovered that the magic skills of the alien demons depended on their mysterious origin. Therefore, the alien demons could recover quickly when they were exhausted from using their skills, which caused headaches for many people at the time.
Later, some geniuses gathered together and came up with an excellent idea. They wanted to let humans practice the magic skills and use the magic's origin to quickly develop humans.
This is the origin of a number of martial arts such as "The Secret of the Great Dream". Our native martial arts on the Meteorite Continent only have combat methods. Some ancient traditions all use combat methods. The word "Secret" comes from the term "demon".
I don't know much about other exercises, but I participated in the process of "The Great Dream Secret" back then. Meng Jun was the most special one. We found that he could actually detect that we were practicing, but the strange thing was that he didn't refuse, and sometimes he would even help us speed up our practice.
Later we learned that he had been relying on these to steal souls and thus learn about our attack plan. At that time, the top leaders wanted to give up, but the founder of Tianyi Sect thought it would be better to let some disciples who did not understand the battle situation to practice.
This would not only speed up the disciples' cultivation progress, but also add some fresh blood to the front line. When they were fully grown and left Tianyi Sect, the tactics could be changed. This could be considered a good policy, and Mengfeng was born in this way.
These are also the secrets that every generation of the Lord of Mengfeng must abide by. Later, when Meng Jun found that he could not steal any secrets, he released his ability during the breakthrough process - nightmare, which is what you often call the inner demon.
What Meng Jun said is correct. He was responsible for the sacrifices of all the disciples in the past. The previous Peak Master was silenced after he knew something."
Zheng Su finished talking about the development history of Mengfeng in one breath, and then took a big sip of tea.
The sect leader's expression didn't change much. He probably knew some inside information, after all, he was the leader of a sect.
Elder Han and Elder Yan clenched their fists, looking serious, but not as lonely as before.
“In the past, we would also use our skills to kill the alien demons, but over the years, we have only killed eighteen generals, but at the cost of the lives of countless Dust-Breaking cultivators.
The holy weapon's ability to restrain the demons is unstoppable, but historically, its holders would not be allowed to participate in such dangerous actions and could only pay with their lives.
In fact, I not only sensed the scent of battle that day, but also the scent of a holy weapon. Then I found you and wanted to see if you could seriously injure one of you, but I didn't expect you to kill Meng Jun.
The other disciples of Mengfeng were in comas because their souls had been occupied by Mengjun for a long time. Now that they've been released, they're not harmonious with their previous souls and are in conflict. They'll be fine after a while, but their cultivation methods do need to be changed."
After Zheng Su finished speaking, he took out three secret books from his arms, handed two secret books and a bag of stones to Elder Han and Elder Yan, and said:
"These two books are of the highest grade earth-level techniques. You must also exchange them. Once you are familiar with them, you can teach them to the disciples. As for these top-grade spirit stones, they are to help you quickly replenish your lost spiritual power. Mengfeng will not disappear. The Central Division will always remember your kindness."
Elder Han took over the secret book on behalf of Elder Yan. He did not choose to look through it, but instead looked down at the ceiling.
Can Mengfeng still be called Mengfeng without the "Great Dream Secret"?
Zheng Su solemnly handed the last secret book to Gu Yang and said:
"This is the lower-grade Heavenly Rank Twin Combat Technique, a technique exclusive to the Holy Artifact. The Central Division has recognized you, and you are now recognized as the holders of the Holy Artifact."
Looking at the four golden characters, Gu Yang was a little dazed. It had only been a short time and the two of them were already using the heavenly-level skills.
And according to Zheng Su, this is the authentic local martial arts method.
"That's all I can tell you today. Develop well. The situation on the front lines is getting serious. Leave the replacement of your two skills to me."
