An astonishing aura spread outward, followed by nine beams of sword light shooting into the sky and vanishing into the clouds.
The sword lights moved like wandering dragons, churning through the sea of clouds hundreds of miles around.
Moments later, beams of sword light burst from the cloud sea and swept toward the White Bone Sect on wind and waves.
"Hmm? Those nine beams of sword light... are they the nine Azure Thunder Bamboo Swords forged through tempering in the Thunderstorm Zone earlier?"
"Those nine flying swords are tumbling through the cloud sea. Each beam of sword light now carries extraordinary power—just looking at them makes one's heart tremble with fear."
"I'm afraid that even a Spirit Severing stage cultivator might not be able to withstand them."
"Has the Sect Master made his move against the White Bone Sect Master and the others?"
His gaze sweeping over the scene, Su Shi'er's eyelids twitched wildly. He murmured softly and immediately understood.
And just as his words fell—
A hundred miles away, a muffled voice rolled over like stifled thunder.
"Ren Yunzong, you... your Yun Ge Sect has already destroyed the foundations of my White Bone Sect. Even if the people of my White Bone Sect were at fault first, is that still not enough?!"
"Must you truly exterminate us all before you are satisfied?"
The owner of the voice did not reveal himself, but his identity was not difficult to deduce. It was none other than the White Bone Sect Master.
Though his words sounded like a challenge, his tone plainly carried surrender and submission.
No matter how deep the enmity, the strongest members of the White Bone Sect were only at the Spirit Severing stage. Before a Body Integration stage cultivator, they had no choice but to lower their heads.
