The Dawn Army was completely wiped out!

The Light Blade Army had completely defected!

When this news reached Honorable Martial Group, it instigated a huge wave. Adding the Red Leaf Army, it was already two armies that were totally destroyed. On the battlefield, the destruction of an entire army rarely happened, because that meant that was a huge gap between both parties. After fighting Leo Constellation for so long, the number of times that an entire army had disappeared was less than when fighting with Ursa Major Constellation.

But what truly shocked Honorable Martial Group was not the destruction of the armies, but the defection of the Light Blade Army.

To control the armies and maintain the absolute loyalty towards Honorable Martial Group, Honorable Martial Group had went through many years of experience to research out the Trial of Light.

Every Saint, The various different level of elders, important army personnels, the various branches’ backbones, were all requested to swear absolute loyalty to the Martial Group, and every oath ceremony would have a Trial of Light implanted in their martial spirit.

As long as someone betrays the Martial Group, the Trial of Light would activate and burn the traitor’s martial spirit, causing the traitor to experience a hellish pain. To achieve a disciplinary result, the Trial of Light would not instantly kill the traitor, but instead continuously burn them, causing them to be in between the state of light and death, and the longest time it took for this process was 72 years. In these 72 years, the traitor was unable to commit suicide, and could only howl in grief, and only after 72 years did his body and soul extinguish.

After the creation of the Trial of Light, it became a weapon that strengthened Honorable Martial Group. And since then, there were very few instances where anyone betrayed the Martial Group, many of them were more willing to commit suicide, or die together with their enemies, and never agreed to surrender. This also made the martial artists extremely brave and fanatical in battles, that was why many of the bigger constellations were not willing to cross swords with them.

Honorable Martial Group had not experienced a betrayal for around 300 years already, especially that the two were the most important personnel of the army, it was a collective declaration of desertion!

Honorable Martial Group was obviously furious.

The 3rd Gold Branch bore the brunt of the blame, You Li was suspended from his duties, his Vice-Master was also suspended, all of the gold ranked martial artists were faced with imprisonment and investigations. Very quickly, information regarding Ye Shou Xin and Mo Lei was retrieved and sent to every single Elder’s hands. From the information, it was fine that Ye Shou Xin fell, he was not birthed from the Martial Group. But, Mo Lei was a true blue Honorable Martial Group martial artist, the blood that flowed in his veins was the true orthodox Honorable Martial Blood, his father was an old member of the 3rd Gold Branch, and had died in battle.

Mo Lei inherited his father’s wishes and joined the 3rd Gold Branch, quickly displaying astonishing talent and bravery, and always performed well in consecutive battles. He was the gold ranked martial artist with the most military service in the entire 3rd Gold Branch, and because of his outstanding performance, when the Light Blade Army was formed, he was mentioned to be the Deputy Commander to Ye Shou Xin.

In the Elders’ eyes, Mo Lei was a direct descendant of a Honorable Martial Group martial artist, and was considered as the most trustworthy martial artist, his loyalty was without doubt. But, if even Mo Lei, a true blue Honorable Martial martial artist defected, then who wouldn’t?

The Isolation Imprisonment of the 3rd Gold Branch attracted the attention of the other Gold Branches. Very quickly, the news of Mo Lei’s betrayal was spread, causing an uproar in Honorable Martial Group. All of the martial artists who had interacted with Mo Lei before did not believe the information at all. To them, even though the last person that would stand fighting for the Martial Group might not be him, but the last 1,000 people to fight for Honorable Martial Group, Mo Lei would definitely be one of them!

How could a person like him possibly betray the Martial Group?

In a short span of time, three armies had disappeared consecutively, that also meant that Three of the Gold Branches would suffer heavy losses. Red Leaf Army belonged to the 10th Gold Branch, Dawn Army belonged to the 11th Gold Branch, Light Blade Army belonged to the 3rd Gold branch. Adding the recently destroyed 9th Gold Branch by Leo Constellation and the recently struck 7th Gold Branch.

Out of the 12 Gold Branches of Honorable Martial Group, 5 of them were already sustaining heavy injuries.

That year, when The Honorable Martial group created the 12 Gold Branches, it was with wild ambitions. It was clear that from the “12”, the Gold Branches were the core strength meant to fight against the 12 Ecliptic Palaces. Who knew that after the [Temple] was created, the 12 Gold Branches would have higher hopes placed on them by the Honorable Martial Elders. The gold ranked martial artists preserved the balance in the cruel competition. They possessed strong fighting capabilities, and allowed the Elders to be more at ease.

But, in the blink of an eye, out of the 12 Gold Branches, only 7 of them were completely intact.

Was this the high hopes placed on the Gold Branches?

Out of the remaining 7 Gold Branches, the most anxious would be the Raging Inferno Army that belonged to the 5th Gold Branch. Out of the 4 armies that were placed to fight Ursa Major Constellation, only the Raging Inferno Army remained.

And the Raging Inferno Army was already made to stop advancing and wait for the saints behind to link up.

The reason why the Dawn Army was destroyed was because of one important reason, that was because they penetrated deeply alone by themselves, advancing forward alone, without any protection of saints, they were swallowed whole by the enemy’s mechanical army. This verdict was widely accepted by everyone.

Following the progress of the war, the relationship between the armies and saints, instead of being more estranged, actually became even more intimate.

Wars would always change people’s perspective.

The Honorable Martial Group did not make another move. They stayed and waited, waited for the Raging Inferno Army to link up with the 10 saints, and waited for the 15 saints that moved out from the [Temple] to fight with the independent saints Tang Tian led.

The formation of the gold grade armies were not considered failures, but it was obvious they were not enough to allow the higher ups of Honorable Martial Group to feel safe.

The battles between the saints were the true highlights of the show!
