At the Voidreturn Sword Sect, a rare gathering of elders had convened once again.
Upon receiving news that two Late Domain Lord Realm elders had fallen, everyone present fell silent.
Late Domain Lord Realm cultivators were core combat strength even within the Voidreturn Sword Sect.
In this era where World Lords did not emerge and Domain Lords reigned supreme,
Late Domain Lord Realm cultivators were the backbone of their fighting force. Losing two of them was especially painful for the Voidreturn Sword Sect.
After a long silence, an elder asked in a deep voice, "Have you investigated it? How exactly did they fall? Was it during a clash with the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect, or something else...?"
He swept his cold gaze across the room, making everyone present shudder.
He had already received definite information: the two Late Domain Lord Realm cultivators had not reached the territory of the Voidreturn Sword Sect's affiliated forces to fight the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect.
If the Myriad Forms Immortal Sect had acted, then they might have learned beforehand that the sect had sent people to reinforce them, and even known their route, lying in ambush to kill them along the way.
That possibility existed, but it was extremely unlikely.
"Speak!" he barked again.
At last, one elder could no longer sit still. Raising his head to look at the man, he said, "I may know why they fell."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Every gaze in the hall landed squarely on him.
Feeling immense pressure, the elder hurriedly said, "I oversee some of the Voidreturn Sword Sect's covert forces. One faction that secretly works for our sect encountered a crisis, so I contacted the two of them and had them go provide support."
"Presumably, they fell because of this matter."
"Where did they fall?" the
