Because their respective medicinal herb treasuries had all been looted, the various Dou Huang level factions within the Black-Corner Region immediately cast aside their mutual grudges and chose to huddle together for warmth!
To this end, the leaders of these Dou Huang level factions agreed on a meeting time to discuss this major event together. The location they chose for their meeting was ultimately the headquarters of the first victim, the Blood Sect.
As for the time, it was set for three days later.
Why wait for three days? In truth, they also wanted to observe the subsequent developments.
What kind of developments? Naturally, they wanted to see if those few Dou Zong level factions would encounter the same situation as them!
After all, if a Dou Zong level faction also suffered the same fate, they could naturally be excluded from the list of suspects. No matter how one looked at it, those were Dou Zong level factions riding over their heads; unless absolutely necessary, they did not want to offend them lightly.
If it weren't for the fact that this mastermind behind the scenes had gone too far by completely looting their medicinal herb treasuries, they might have just gritted their teeth and endured it.
But now that so many Dou Huang level factions had encountered the same thing, if they chose to unite, they believed that even a Dou Zong level faction would find things difficult.
However, they were soon disappointed. During the three days they waited, besides a few lone wolf Dou Huangs who were also unlucky enough to suffer the same fate, no unusual news came from the factions or lone wolves at the Dou Zong level and above.
As a result, these leaders of the Dou Huang level factions basically confirmed that the mastermind was one of those few Dou Zong level powers.
As for Jia Nan Academy? Sorry, but after they realized that every one of their respective medicinal herb treasuries had been left with the six words "Done by Jia Nan Academy", the last sliver of suspicion they held toward the academy had completely vanished.
Earlier, a few factions were still wondering if this was a smokescreen set up by Jia Nan Academy.
But now that everyone's situation was identical, coupled with Jia Nan Academy's good reputation in the Black-Corner Region over the years, the leaders of these Dou Huang level factions no longer suspected that the academy was pulling the strings from behind.
After all, that was Jia Nan Academy; they definitely wouldn't do such a dirty thing!
Those capable of doing such a thing were likely those guys and factions in the Black-Corner Region whose reputations weren't all that great.
Yes, they were quite certain of this!
On this day, all the major Dou Huang level factions in the Black-Corner Region, including several lone wolf Dou Huangs, were all invited to the Blood Sect's headquarters. Inside a huge secret room, about a dozen Dou Huang experts sat around a large circular table.
Here, several Dou Huang experts who originally had deep hatred for each other no longer spoke of past grievances.
"Welcome, fellow comrades. Your arrival truly brings light to my Blood Sect!" As the host, it was still Blood Sect's Sect Master Fan Lao who broke the silence in the secret room.
"Sect Master Fan, stop with the nonsense. Everyone has gathered at your place today for a purpose you should well know; there's no need for these formalities. I came mainly to ask everyone: if it is truly confirmed that the theft of our medicinal herb treasuries was done by one of those Dou Zong level factions, what do you plan to do?"
The one who asked this was Tie Wu, the leader of the Wild Lion Gang.
In reality, there was a lot of friction between the Wild Lion Gang and the Blood Sect. But at this moment, he had no intention of targeting the Blood Sect; he simply asked the question everyone was most concerned about!
As Tie Wu's voice fell, the various Dou Huang experts who were still discussing things among themselves instantly became mute. After all, while so many Dou Huangs joining forces indeed didn't fear a Dou Zong, they were actually all harboring their own hidden agendas.
If they truly had a frontal conflict with a Dou Zong expert, it was believed that no one would be willing to sacrifice themselves to let others succeed. As for whether there would be casualties if a dozen or so Dou Huangs fought a Dou Zong that was pure nonsense!
If a Dou Zong expert fought with their life on the line, even if they eventually defeated the opponent through teamwork, the probability was that not even half of those who went would return. Clearly, no one on the scene wanted to be the one left behind by a Dou Zong expert.
Under such circumstances, even if they truly united, how could they be of one heart? Therefore, Tie Wu's critical question stumped all the other Dou Huang experts.
"Personally, I suggest we pull in another helper!" Just as the Dou Huang experts were silent, a soft and charming voice suddenly rang out.
The other Dou Huang experts all turned their heads to look at the person who spoke. This person was the Sect Master of the Luo Sha Gate—Su Mei!
Like her name, she was a woman charming to the bone.
Because of this, when the Dou Huang experts on the scene looked at Su Mei, the eyes of quite a few revealed a look of desire. In response, Su Mei herself was very calm. After all, she had seen this kind of situation many times and had long since become immune to it.
It wasn't like she would lose a hair just because others looked at her a couple of times. On the contrary, didn't this just highlight her charm?
"Cough, cough."
Just as many of the Dou Huang experts on the scene were being entranced by Su Mei, a raspy, old coughing sound rang out, interrupting the fantasies in their minds.
"Sect Master Su, you should first explain what you mean by 'pulling in another helper'."
Because the Sect Master of the Dark Sky Sect, Old Yin Gu, was already advanced in years, he naturally had no "sexual interest" in a "pink skull" like Su Mei. Old Yin Gu's words timely pulled back the souls of the other Dou Huang experts who had been mesmerized by Su Mei.
Given the current circumstances, it was indeed not the time to be thinking about such things.
"Sect Master Yin, and everyone else, my words naturally mean what they say on the surface! Don't you all feel that there is another faction that should also be present today?"
After glancing at the several Dou Huang experts who, after being swept by her gaze, turned away somewhat uncomfortably and pretended to be very serious, Su Mei asked back with hidden meaning.
"Another faction that should also be present?" Su Mei's words caused all the Dou Huang experts present to fall into deep thought.
However, after searching their memories, they found that all the Dou Huang level factions in the Black-Corner Region were already present!
So which other faction could there be?
Just as everyone was lost in thought, the eyes of Old Man Ban, a Dou Huang expert participating in this action as a lone wolf, suddenly flashed with a sharp light. The name of a faction appeared in his mind. Immediately, he blurted out: "Jia Nan Academy!"
As Old Man Ban's voice fell, the other Dou Huang experts were first stunned, but then they all came to their senses.
Right, how could they have forgotten that giant!
This time, their respective medicinal herb treasuries were looted, and wasn't Jia Nan Academy also implicated in the same way?
