Clear Void City had already been reduced to ruins. Hardly a single intact building remained in the city. Those disciples of the Clear Void Sect who had escaped death stood amid the wreckage, lost and helpless.
Some martial artists searched the ruins for survivors. The moment they found belongings left behind by their fellow disciples and Senior Brothers, they clutched them and broke down weeping.
"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 tearful eyes looking helplessly around her.
"Master—right, Master..."
She suddenly sprang up as if crazed and began searching through the ruins. Seeing this, the Clear Void Sect disciples all wept in grief.
At this moment, more than a dozen Heavenly Venerates arrived in the sky. There were not only Heavenly Venerates from Jinyang Continent, but also those from other forces, such as Jihuang Sword Palace, Sword Soul Sect, the Thunder Eagle Clan, and Snow Soul Grotto-Heaven. Even three seventh-level War Emperors from the Mechanical Empire had appeared.
All of them watched the scene unfolding below in Clear Void City, their expressions grave.
The Clear Void Sect had been a first-rate force, and Clear Void Heavenly Venerate had been a second-realm existence.
Yet not only had he fallen, the entire Clear Void Sect had been destroyed as well.
The thirteen Heavenly Venerates of Jinyang Continent gathered together. The Heavenly Venerates from several other sects who had not appeared before had now come too. 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?
