"Grandmaster, can Senior Sister Qi really beat Fiend Dragon Child?"
"What, you have so little faith in Emei?"
In a tall building not far from the Battle Arena, an old man and a young man gazed toward the platform and talked.
Ran Feng shook his head. "Our sect's disciples are first-rate fighters wherever they go. How could I doubt Senior Sister's strength?"
Even though the Five Elements Divine Sect had become a homeless dog, stubborn pride still filled his voice.
And at its peak, the Five Elements Divine Sect had truly earned that pride!
Back then, each of the Five Elements Peaks had been home to a Nascent Soul True Person.
Shen Yuan Old Ancestor, a Supreme Elder in the Nascent Soul Late Stage, had also stood guard over the sect, his might bearing down on all sides.
With strength like that, the sect had surpassed even the renowned Dongyang Sect.
It was that glory which had brought the Five Elements Divine Sect to the attention of Mingyuan Sect, a holy land of the Eastern Wilderness. Mingyuan Sect had even promised to let Shen Yuan Old Ancestor cultivate at its ancestral grounds.
But that promise had never come to pass. Something had gone wrong.
Shen Yuan Old Ancestor had suffered grievous injuries while working for Mingyuan Sect. Later, when the Demon Race army bore down on them, he could not fight. Under the leadership of the Five Peaks True Persons, the Five Elements Divine Sect had retreated again and again.
By the time they reached the Wind Flower Region, two of the Five Peaks True Persons were dead. Even Lingmu True Person, reputed to be the hardest to kill, had had his body smashed apart. Only his Nascent Soul survived.
From then on, the Five Elements Divine Sect had declined.
