“Yes, Elder Ma!” replied Second Fool before he returned to silent.
Elder Ma scanned looked over everybody before he asked in a deep voice. “If anyone of you have any questions, ask them right now. Once we leave here, we shall not discuss this matter again.”
“Elder Ma, we don’t know much about Sacred Land Zhongyuan. I don’t feel that the information that we have received from the masked young master was reliable. My advice is that we should try and collect some information on Sacred Land Zhongyuan ourselves. I worry that if we just head straight there without further information, we would sustain significant damages before we were able to accomplish anything.”
The one who had spoken was the youngest and most staid person in the group. He was essential the military advisor equivalent of the group.
Most importantly, he was namely by the alliance leader personally as the chief of military advisor for this mission. Elder Ma might not care about anyone else, but he would not overlook any suggestion coming from this chief of military advisor.
His name was Xiao Fu. He was big in size, but his weapons of choice were two axes. When he fought, he chopped people as if he was chopping firewood and was a very ruthless person. When he acted, he wouldn’t care if he needed to chop a newborn.
“Xiao Fu, you mean we shouldn’t just rush over to Sacred Land Zhongyuan?” asked Elder Ma as he stared straight at the young man in front of him.
He might look like a young man still, but he wasn’t young anymore. He was already in his sixties. But due to his martial king cultivation level plus a mystical pill that he had when he was young, he maintained a young man’s look.
Among regular people, he’d be an old man. Yet, with the cultivation level between that of a martial king and a martial emperor and would be able to live till 300 ~ 400 years old, he was, indeed, still a young man.
Nobody dared to chime into the conversation between the elder and the advisor. Everybody just listened quietly.
“Elder Ma’s plan is good.” Xiao Fu nodded and said, “We do, indeed, next to change out of our outfits and restraint our own people to not cause any trouble. All these are true. On the other hand, Second Fool was right too. We can’t trust the masked young master. All he wanted is a tool that would help him take out Sacred Land Zhongyuan and that tool is us.”
“None of what you have said is new to me. Our alliance leader had mentioned those as well.” Elder Ma frowned and had no idea what this Xiao Fu was trying to get at.
Xiao Fu gave him a look and said, “Elder Ma, as I have said, we can not relay solely on the information provided to us by the masked young master. We must find out more before we take actions. Otherwise, we just might lose our lives even if we can complete our assignment. That would just be silly, right?”
“You are right. The masked man is not trustworthy. Except that if we wait until we have gathered more information, we might miss the time frame when Sacred Land Zhongyuan is recruiting for disciples. It might be very difficult to act then.”
“Elder Ma, no matter what is it, there are likely more than one reason. There must be a reason why the masked young master wants us to act right away. If we are not going to work hand in hand with him and, in fact, would most likely sour our relationship then why do we need to follow his order? We can do as we please!”
Intelligence could be seen in Xiao Fu’s eyes. He said decisively, “Had he hid something from us, it will be us who’ll take the brunt of it. We must thoroughly learn about Sacred Land Zhongyuan before we act. Besides, I trust that a force that the could intimidate that masked young master so much is no easy feat.”
“Sacred Land Zhongyuan had only been founded not too long ago. As mighty as they might be, they won’t measure up to any of the nine sects that had been around for hundreds of years. We have three martial emperors and nine martial kings in our group. I think that will be more than sufficient to wipe out any one sect.”
Elder Ma shared his viewpoint confidently.
