Feng Xi and the others' operation went far more smoothly than they had expected. Most importantly, the enemy had let their guard down and walked right into the array traps Feng Xi had laid. The invaders couldn't bring their full strength to bear before most of them were killed. All that remained for the survivors was to flee.
Although the invaders had suffered heavy casualties and fled, the Enlightenment Sacred Tree and Bi Yu could easily sense their whereabouts, making it much simpler to hunt them down. After some time, they finally captured or killed every last one.
From the captured cultivators, they learned that these experts had been trained by Fairy Huan Cai, Ci Xin, the Po Family Brothers, and Chi Xue. They were all their quasi-Saint-level experts. Fairy Sword Ji and the others couldn't help feeling exhilarated, saying that this operation would surely leave Chi Xue and the others heartbroken.
And no wonder. Chi Xue and the others had secretly spent tens of thousands, even over a hundred thousand years, cultivating these experts. Now they had been wiped out in one fell swoop. It would probably take them another hundred thousand years to recover, which would naturally leave them heartbroken.
Although Chi Xue and the other three had been named the future sect masters, anything could happen before they actually took the positions. The experts they had cultivated were meant to guard against such unforeseen circumstances and make their succession much smoother. Now that every one of them had been killed, their succession had become far less certain. After all, the nine super sects were divided into countless factions, and the other factions hardly wanted them to take over without a hitch. They would surely meddle.
Even if Chi Xue and the others became sect masters, they wouldn't
