All the members of the meeting looked directly at Xu Xuan, their gazes as if asking for more explanation of what Xu Xuan had just said.
"I know what you guys are thinking, actually we also recently obtained 2 additional Martial Saint level cultivators" Xu Xuan said with a gaze that traced through everyone, waiting for a response from them.
Su Huangli responded "Then this is good news! Brother Xuan, with the presence of 2 additional Martial Saints on our side, it will provide great additional strength!"
Everyone's faces brightened, as if regaining hope of resisting.
"If you may know, who are the elders of the Divine Sword Sect who have broken through to that Martial Saint level?" bing Zheng asked, he thought that the two additional Martial Saints were two elders breaking through to the Martial Saint level.
Not only did Bing Zheng think so, but everyone else did as well.
"Not one of our sect elders has actually broken through"
"Then?" bing's forehead shriveled a little as well as the others.
Xu Xuan sighed then said "It's a pretty long story, I hope you guys are willing to listen to it"
Xu Xuan first recounted his past, where having a brother named Xu Huang die in the Sword Island Trials that were always held once every 100 years.
Xu Xuan then told about the events in this year's Sword Island Trials, and all the things that happened there.
Where there were two Martial Saint level demons attacking the participants.
But unexpectedly it turned out that the brother Xu Xuan who was previously thought to be dead, was still alive and was already at the Martial Saint level, even stronger than his current self.
Moreover, it turned out that Shin who managed to rise to the Martial Monarc level, was surprisingly able to match the strength of a Martial Saint, could even kill one of the two demons that attacked back then.
So even though Shin was still at the Martial Monarc level, he was counted as one of the other Martial Saints as an additional strength.
Xu Xuan ended the story.
Everyone silently listened, their expressions were always fickle yet never cutting through Xu Xuan's story.
They were all now staring at Shin with a look of disbelief, it was obviously difficult for them to believe that Shin was able to match the strength of a Martial Saint.
Shin himself just smiled in response to everyone's gaze, he perfectly understood what they were thinking.
"Brother Xuan, are you sure that Shin's strength is equivalent to that of a Martial Saint?" ask Su Huangli.
Xu Xuan again sighed "I know this is unbelievable, but that's the truth! This child has abilities and talents that are beyond reason, I can't even explain the one ability of this child"
Everyone looked back at Shin as if asking for an explanation from the young man.
Shin scratched his head "I don't know what to say, but if I justify my father-in-law's words then I'll be arrogant, but if I say no then that means I've lied"
Everyone else similarly snorted lightly.
"This young man is very good at stringing words together" that's how they think they are today.
"Um, what Sect Master said is indeed true, I have special eyes that can see everyone's hidden strength! Although Shin's cultivation was at the level of Martial Monarc stage 2, yet..." The second elder said in an excited tone, definitely with a smile on his lips.
He stopped his sentence by looking intently at Shin, but as if his eyes were not on the young man, the second elder looked into Shin's body.
His eyes instantly reddened, burning like embers.
The second elder then continued his sentence "The aura that Shin emanated is already on par with Sect Master senior Zheng and senior Huangli"
Shin who was already feeling a little uncomfortable with everyone's gaze, finally switched the conversation.
"There's no need to bother with that anymore, now all we have to discuss is the Black Eagle Sect and the Demon Valley Sect"
"You're right Junior Shin, we shouldn't be discussing that for now" Su Huangli responded to everyone's nod.
After that, Shin also issued his opinion "In my opinion, even though on our side there are 5 Martial Saint level cultivators, but what about the Black Eagle Sect and the Demon Valley Sect? Do they really have 4 Martial Saint level cultivators?"
Shin's question made everyone ponder.
True to what Shin said, all this time they kept their respective powers a secret to the other party, in order to be more respected and make the other group think twice before offending them.
So it was possible that those two black-flow sects might just have another Martial Saint.
Shin then continued "I'm sure if the Black Eagle Sect really has 2 Martial Saint level cultivators, but I'm not sure about the Demon Valley Sect"
"Why would junior Shin think so?" bing Zheng asked.
"Don't they all this time, even though the Demon Valley Sect was the Ruler of the Western Region, yet they were extremely secretive and secretive"
Everyone pondered again because what Shin said was indeed true.
"In addition, does anyone here know if the Demon Valley Sect Master, Lui Meiyu is looking for girls with special body conditions?"
Everyone gasped and then turned to Shin. Bing Zheng was the most surprised because he found out that Lui Meiyu was looking for girls with special body conditions.
"How do you know?" bing Zheng asked.
"Does senior also know about this?" Shin asked back.
Bing Zheng nodded in response, while still staring at Shin asking for an answer to the question just now.
"Actually, Lui Meiyu and I had fought once before, that's when I found out about this" Shin did not tell the details of the incident, as it would take a long time to tell about it.
Everyone was shocked to hear that, of course except for Xu Xuan who already knew about it.
Fighting against Lui Meiyu, even they had never thought about it, because they knew the strength of that demonic woman.
"I fought with Lui Meiyu about a year and a half ago, we fought in the Skull Forest and caused the forest to be destroyed"
Everyone was shocked again, their brows furrowing at the thought of the thing Shin had just said.
They of course knew about the Martial Saint level battle that took place in the Skull Forest.
"But didn't junior Shin recently rise to Martial Monarc level, how could junior Shin's strength rival Lui Meiyu's?" ask Lou Ying.
Shin then recounted that he used to be a Martial Saint level cultivator, but during the fight against Lui Meiyu, he suffered a bitter defeat that caused his dantian to break down and his cultivation to decrease.
Unceasingly they were taken aback by Shin's confession, if it was true then Shin reached the Martial Saint level at 20 years old.
How crazy is that!
They all now know the cause and who is the mastermind of the destruction of the Skull Forest.
"I don't know for sure what purpose Lui Meiyu wants girls with special body conditions, but I'm sure that's not a good thing!" said Shin.
