After receiving the news from Heaven Refining Pavilion, all the Dao Palace elders present abruptly rose to their feet, their faces full of anxiety.
"Quick, bring the intelligence over!"
Before long, the secret report was delivered into an elder's hands. He immediately extended his divine sense and began reading the confidential letter personally written by the Pavilion Master of Heaven Refining Pavilion.
The others all showed worried expressions. A day had already passed, and there was a high chance this intelligence brought ill news. In the worst-case scenario, Heaven Refining Pavilion might have been left with only its pavilion master alive.
But soon, the elder reading the secret letter saw his expression change again and again, shifting from tense concern to astonishment and shock.
"Old Tao, what did Xiao Chen say in the letter? What kind of expression is that?"
"Yeah, what exactly happened? Don't tell me even Heaven Refining Pavilion's inheritance was taken?"
"Oh, stop keeping us in suspense already! Dead or alive, there should at least be a definite answer!"

The Dao Palace elder named Old Tao muttered in shock, "Nearly wiped out."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall once again fell into deathly silence, and the other elders' expressions darkened.
Heaven Refining Pavilion was one of the most important factions under the Dao Palace. Over the years, it had always enjoyed considerable autonomy and possessed an influence that carried enormous weight.
If it had been wiped out and its inheritance completely severed, the loss would truly have been far too grievous.
"How could this be? The Myriad Weapons Demon Extermination Formation was personally set up by Grandmaster Gong."
"Exactly. Even with such a powerful formation protecting it, Heaven Refining Pavilion still couldn't hold out for a single day?"
"Sigh, we were negligent.
