The old Sword Cultivator had already left. The reason he had shown himself was probably simply to see the God Extinguishing Sword with his own eyes.
Yet Lu Ye's heart remained unsettled for a long time.
Compared to the old man's claim that the God Extinguishing Sword was not a one-use Exotic Treasure, Lu Ye cared more about his mention of Eldest Senior Brother!
Lu Ye actually knew little about that Eldest Senior Brother he had never met, but he knew that his Eldest Senior Brother had truly been a peerless genius, an unparalleled figure unseen in ages.
The Crimson Blood Sect had risen because of him, and fallen because of him. The lingering poison left behind decades ago still echoed to this day.
Eldest Senior Brother had once possessed the God Extinguishing Sword!
In other words, the person who had entered the Battle Merit Pavilion before him had indeed been Eldest Senior Brother.
Lu Ye had actually suspected as much. When he first entered the Battle Merit Pavilion, the two flood dragons had once said that no one had entered it for decades.
And looking across those decades, who could have been more dazzling than Eldest Senior Brother? Other than him, who else had been qualified to enter the Battle Merit Pavilion?
Decades ago, the God Extinguishing Sword had been in Eldest Senior Brother's hands. Decades later, it was in his own hands. That was why the old Sword Cultivator had mistakenly assumed that this item belonged to the Crimson Blood Sect, passed down to him by the Sect Master decades after Eldest Senior Brother's death!
Since the man had arrived at such a misunderstanding himself, Lu Ye naturally would not explain it.
But... what did it mean that this was not a one-use Exotic Treasure?
