At the same time, almost the very moment the Five Elements Sect received the Blood-Colored War Post, the Flower Sect, tens of thousands of miles away, also had its peace shattered by a war post.
At the Flower Sect's mountain gate, hundreds of flowers bloomed, and it was as warm as spring in all four seasons. Amid the cloud-wreathed peaks, pavilions and towers appeared and vanished, like an immortal realm.
This was the most elegant sect in the Middle Continent. Most of its disciples were women, and the Cultivation Methods they practiced mostly harmonized with nature and living things.
Inside the main hall, Hundred Flowers Hall, Yun Yun wore a plain white long dress and was discussing sect affairs with several elders.
More than a year had passed. As Sect Master of the Flower Sect, Yun Yun's bearing had grown increasingly graceful and dignified, and her cultivation had become even more unfathomable. Faint spatial ripples lingered around her, the aura of her impending breakthrough from Eight-Star Dou Venerate to Nine-Star Dou Venerate.
Suddenly, hurried sounds of cutting wind came from outside the hall.
"Report—"
A disciple in a pale green dress flew in, her face pale, holding a pitch-black wooden box identical to the one seen at the Five Elements Sect.
"Sect Master, this object suddenly appeared in Hundred Flowers Creek outside the mountain gate, hanging above the waterfall. No one saw where it came from."
Yun Yun's beautiful eyes narrowed. With a slight lift of her hand, the Wooden Box flew before her. She did not open it rashly, but first probed it with Dou Qi. When she sensed the cold, bloody aura inside the box, her expression gradually darkened.
"Heaven Nether Sect..." beside Yun Yun, a White-Haired Old Woman slowly spoke.
She leaned on a Withered Wood Cane.
