Yuwen Qianyue had only been sitting in meditation for a few breaths when the jade slip received another message.
"All Venerables and elders, assemble in the Heavenly Hall immediately to discuss matters. There must be no delay."
She withdrew her divine sense, her eyes brimming with delight.
"Has the victor been decided so quickly?"
"Come to think of it..."
"Guo Jiannan was no longer the man he had been in his prime. His combat strength was likely not even one or two tenths of what it once was. How could he possibly withstand the joint siege of Wind Snow Island's upper ranks?"
"The era of the Invincible Sword Venerable has truly passed. That Mortal Star cultivator will have nothing to rely on from now on!"
Slowly putting away the jade slip, Yuwen Qianyue could not help curling her red lips upward. The great weight in her heart had finally fallen away, leaving this Venerable somewhat carried away with pride.
Only when she thought of heading to the main hall for discussion did she hurriedly restrain herself somewhat.
With a frosty expression, she rose to her feet and steadily stepped out of the hall.

She entered the splendid main hall and, as usual, took her seat in a corner at the very end.
As she quietly sat down and surveyed her surroundings, she found that many seats were empty. Several pavilion elders in the front rows wore grim expressions, and some even had bloodstains on their bodies!
Yuwen Qianyue was instantly stunned.
Something seemed wrong?
Glancing around in silence, she saw that many of her fellow Venerables from the past were also absent. Those present sat with their heads lowered in a daze, and an incomparably oppressive atmosphere filled the entire hall.
This...
Yuwen Qianyue was greatly taken
