A strange phenomenon filled the sky, stunning all living beings.
Sect Master Tongtian had actually been imprisoned atop Spirit Mountain by the Two Sages of the West and Primordial Heavenly Venerate.
It was simply unbelievable!
Even the Primordial Measure Sword was tightly entangled by the Witch-Slaying Sword. It couldn't help Sect Master Tongtian break through the layers of barriers and escape the raging storm.
"No, impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"My master seized a sliver of Heaven's Secrets. His sword could open Heaven's Gate and cut down a Saint's Fruit. How could he have ended up in such a predicament?"
Watching the projection in the sky, Zhao Gongming was consumed by rage. He pounded his chest and stamped his feet.
His fury surged uncontrollably, suddenly bursting from his heart meridian. A mouthful of blood sprayed several yards, staining the azure sky red.
Ever since joining the Interception Sect, Sect Master Tongtian had become Zhao Gongming's guiding faith and the foundation of his steadfast Dao Heart.
But now, Sect Master Tongtian couldn't save the hundred thousand Interception Sect disciples.
Was Heaven determined to destroy the Interception Sect?
Looking up at the setting sun sinking beyond the western mountains, Zhao Gongming summoned the Five Elements Pearls, the Mountain and River Diagram, and the Nine Dragon Fire Cover.
His teeth clenched, his expression resolute.
"I, Zhao Gongming, will fight the Chan Sect and the Western Teachings to the death from this day forth."
"Interception Sect disciples, are you willing to follow me?"
His booming Dao Sound echoed throughout the Primordial World.
Atop Spirit Mountain, a tear slipped down Sect Master Tongtian's cheek.
"My Interception Sect has disciples worthy of the name."
"You may destroy my hundred thousand disciples, but the Interception Sect's teachings will endure for all eternity."
Boundless sword intent tore through the void.
