Chapter 3096: Intervention of the Sect Master

Witch World.
Fresh blood, corpses, broken halberds… It was a scene of devastation and dilapidation. There was a withered and lifeless atmosphere everywhere after the battle.
After the attacks of the armies of the Parasol Tree World, Dragon World and more than a hundred other worlds, the Witch World was completely destroyed. Even some Witches who were lucky enough to survive had long fled.
There was not a single person in the vast territory.
Suddenly!
The void split open and two figures descended, looking around.
“What did you find?”
Die Yue asked.
The Martial Dao Prime Body released his spirit consciousness and closed his eyes for a long time before shaking his head.
While he was in the Kun Peng World, the Martial Dao Prime Body heard the news that the Witch World was destroyed in a day. He sensed an abnormality and asked the Parasol Tree World Lord and the others about it.
Although the Witch World Lord and more than 30 Emperors were killed by him, nine Emperor experts escaped.
Furthermore, the Martial Dao Prime Body only crushed the Nether Witch Peak back then and he did not search the other territories of the Witch World.
The Witch World was a super large world after all. It was highly possible that there were Witch Emperors who lived in seclusion in other territories. Furthermore, there were many Witch race experts and many Witch Kings. It would still be difficult for them to destroy the entire Witch World in a day.
After all, even during the Battle of the Dragons and Phoenixes that had lasted for thousands of years, the Dragon World had never been destroyed.
Then, he obtained an important piece of news from Parasol Tree World Lord and the others.
By the time they arrived with their army, almost all the Emperors and Kings of the Witch race had retreated.
There were many Witches left, but their cultivation realms were not high. They could not defend against the attacks of the armies of the Parasol Tree World and other worlds.
The entire Witch World was almost empty!
That was how the armies of the Parasol Tree World and other worlds charged in with irresistible force and destroyed the Witch World in a day!
Where were the remaining Witch Emperors and many Witch Kings?
The Witch World was leaderless and it was not easy to gather the Witch Emperors and Kings in the chaos. This required extraordinary methods.
However, when the Witch Emperors and Kings left, they seemed to have vanished into thin air. Even the Martial Dao Prime Body did not discover any traces earlier on!
The Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue entered the void. When they reappeared, they were already above Nether Witch Peak.
With a thought of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he covered the entire territory of the Witch race and gathered many wandering remnant souls to use the Soul Searching Art!
These wandering souls did not possess sentience and their masters had long died.
It was only because of various reasons, such as resentment and obsession, that a wisp of their souls remained and wandered around.
The Martial Dao Prime Body wanted to use the memories of the remnant souls when they were alive to piece together what happened in the Witch World after he left and find some clues!
Scenes appeared in the void in front of the Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue.
However, those images came from wisps of remnant souls and were fragmented. Furthermore, they were chaotic and mixed. Most of the memories did not contain any useful information.
Time pa.s.sed slowly and after an unknown period of time, the scene circulating in the void suddenly paused!
In that short memory fragment, a cultivator in a black Daoist robe could be seen descending on Nether Witch Peak not long after the two of them left the Witch World.
This was also the person who gathered the Emperors and Kings of the Witch World!
However, the face of the black-robed cultivator was shrouded in a layer of fog and his appearance could not be seen clearly.
When the Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue tried to clear the fog, the scene seemed to be unable to withstand it and suddenly shattered, turning into nothingness!
“Is this the master who was backing the Witch race?”
Die Yue asked.
The Martial Dao Prime Body pondered for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t think so.”
“Given that master’s control of the Witch race, if he wanted to move the Witch Emperors and Kings away, there’s no need for him to go through so much trouble and make a trip personally.”
Die Yue asked, “Who could that be then? Apart from him, who else has the means to take away these Witch experts without leaving any traces?”
“The Sect Master of the Academy.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body said slowly.
“It’s him?”
Die Yue frowned.
The Martial Dao Prime Body said, “The Sect Master of the Academy is half a Witch to begin with and is extremely familiar with the Witch race. He has sufficient motives.”
“Under normal circ.u.mstances, he would definitely not have the chance to enter the Witch World and take over so many Witch experts.”
“However, the death of the Witch World Lord and the other Emperors gave him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of the situation and improve his standing in the Witch race!”
The Sect Master of the Academy was extremely ambitious. Ever since he suffered a huge loss at the hands of the Martial Dao Prime Body, he had been lying low all these years without any news.
However, once there was an opportunity, he would definitely not miss it!
From this, it could be inferred that the Sect Master of the Academy’s cultivation realm was very likely to have already reached the perfected Emperor realm!
The Martial Dao Prime Body continued, “Furthermore, only the Sect Master of the Academy has such cunning, wisdom and methods.”
“I’ve heard that the Sect Master of the Academy can see through the heavenly secrets and make flawless calculations. I’ve finally witnessed it today.”
Die Yue said, “The armies of the Parasol Tree World and other worlds arrived after you and I left the Witch World. The interval between us was less than a day.”
“In other words, in less thana day, he successfully took over the Witch World and gathered the Emperors and Kings of the Witch World to escape without leaving any traces.”
Although this matter looked simple, it was actually as difficult as ascending to the heavens and was filled with unpredictable danger!
Firstly, the Sect Master of the Academy had to have a clear control of the movements of the Dragon World, Parasol Tree World and even the Martial Dao Prime Body.
That was because he only had less than a day to work with.
Secondly, the Sect Master of the Academy had to have extraordinary methods to suppress the remaining experts of the Witch race and successfully take over the Witch World.
Furthermore, this was an abnormally dangerous matter.
The Martial Dao Prime Body could descend anywhere in the medium chiliocosm with a single thought. As such, he naturally could have returned to disrupt the plans as well!
If anything went wrong, the Sect Master of the Academy would have been doomed!
“Good move.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded as well. “The timing was just right too.” “However, the clansmen he took over were all Witch Kings. Although there were nine Witch Emperors, their worlds were shattered by me and they won’t be of much use.”
To the Martial Dao Prime Body, the Sect Master of the Academy’s schemes were indeed powerful. However, they were of no threat to him.
As long as he was around, the Sect Master of the Academy would not dare to appear in public in the end, let alone provoke him and the Green Lotus True Body.
In fact, the Sect Master of the Academy even had to undertake immense risks just to intervene this time round.
Die Yue said in a deep voice, “According to the Witch World Lord, he has a master backing him. It’s probably not that easy for the Sect Master of the Academy to successfully take over these experts of the Witch World. At the very least, he has to get past that master.”
“Do you have any clues regarding this master of the Witch race?”
Die Yue asked again.
“I have a guess, but I can’t be sure yet.”
The Martial Dao Prime Body was deep in thought. “Let’s go to the Poison World and take a look. I wonder if there will be any clues there to confirm that guess.”
With that said, the Martial Dao Prime Body and Die Yue disappeared into the void once more.
