Clear Void City.
This place had already been reduced to ruins. There was scarcely a single intact building left in the city. Those Qingxu Sect disciples who had narrowly escaped death stood amid the wreckage, lost and helpless.
Some martial artists searched through the ruins for survivors. The moment they found relics left behind by their fellow disciples, they clutched them and burst into tears.
"Senior Brother... this is Senior Brother's jade pendant!"
Falling Flower True Lord frantically rummaged through the ruins. At last, she found a jade pendant beneath a collapsed building. She immediately hugged it and wept bitterly, her tear-filled eyes looking helplessly around her.
"Master, and Master..."
She suddenly sprang up as if she had gone mad and began searching through the ruins. Seeing this, the Qingxu Sect disciples all wept in grief.
At this moment, more than a dozen Heavenly Venerates arrived in the skies above. Not only were there Heavenly Venerates from Jinyang Continent, but also from other forces, such as Jihuang Sword Palace, Sword Soul Sect, Thunder Eagle Clan, Snow Soul Grotto-Heaven. Even three Seventh-Level War Emperors from the Mechanical Empire had appeared.
Everyone watched the scene unfolding in Clear Void City below, their expressions grave.
Qingxu Sect had been a first-rate force, and Clear Void Heavenly Venerate had even been a Second Realm existence.
Yet not only had he fallen, Qingxu Sect itself had been destroyed.
The thirteen Heavenly Venerates of Jinyang Continent had gathered together. The Heavenly Venerates from several other sects who had not appeared before had now arrived as well. As for what had delayed them, everyone knew perfectly well. It was likely not that they had been delayed, but that they had simply been unwilling—or afraid—to act.
"You all saw it just now, didn't you? Are you still hesitating?"
