Meanwhile, inside a secret chamber in the royal city of Qingqiu Kingdom.
"What did you say? Elder Yousu Chuan was killed in battle so quickly?" A striking female cultivator in a black robe slammed the silver staff in her hand heavily against the floor, surprise in her voice.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, there was a Late True Immortal Stage cultivator among the enemy forces with exceptionally formidable methods. Working together with the others, he killed Elder Yousu Chuan," a Fox Clan elder reported cautiously.
The woman in black was none other than You Su Strategist, the Grand Elder of Qingqiu Kingdom.
"Forget it. Dead is dead; it was all part of the plan anyway. By the way, are you certain there are no Taiyi-level cultivators hiding among them?" You Su Strategist asked again after pondering for a moment.
"No. There was not the slightest response from the detection disk. At present, the highest cultivation among the enemies who came this time is that Late True Immortal Stage cultivator..." The Fox Clan elder displayed the disk in his hand as he spoke.
"What are these people plotting? They actually sent only a bunch of juniors to attack our Qingqiu Kingdom?" An eagle-nosed elder in the hall spoke up.
"Elder Su Xiao, can't you see it? Either the various sects intend to use us as whetstones to temper their younger generation of cultivators, or they deliberately sent them to probe us. Once one or two of these precious darlings are killed or injured, those old fogeys will make their move. But this time, they may not be able to come..." You Su Strategist said with a shake of her head and a smile.
"It has already come to this. Do they still need to go through all these twists and turns?"
