A million miles away from the Sword Sect, Elder Wang looked at Mu Xian with a solemn expression.
At this moment, Mu Xian lay on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, his eyes filled with undisguised fear.
A disciple of the Setting Sun Sect asked, " Elder Wang, what's wrong with Senior Brother Mu Xian?"
Elder Wang pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "He must be so terrified that he's lost his mind."
Upon hearing this, all the Setting Sun Sect disciples in the arena frowned.
A female disciple asked worriedly, "What should we do then?"
Elder Wang sighed deeply, glancing regretfully at Mu Xian, " His Dao Heart is shattered; he's essentially crippled from now on."
He shook his head, "No matter what, let's Setting Sun Sect first."
All the Setting Sun Sect disciples nodded.
After several days of travel, Elder Wang and the others finally returned to the Setting Sun Sect.
Upon returning to the Setting Sun Sect, Elder Wang immediately led Mu Xian to a grand hall.
Seated in the main seat of the hall was a middle-aged man. He was dressed in a blue robe, tall and with wrinkles on his face, which were the marks of time and experience, giving him an air of maturity and composure.
Zhao Yi, Sect Master of the Setting Sun Sect!
That's how it happened.
Elder Wang recounted what had happened at the Sword Sect, then lowered his head and fell silent.
Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, a chill running through them. After a moment, he glanced at Mu Xian was curled up on the ground.
The next moment!
With a wave of his hand, Mu Xian's body instantly exploded, turning into a cloud of scarlet blood mist that dissipated into the air.
Seeing this, Elder Wang was first startled, then looked at Zhao Yi with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Yi calmly said, "They've already become useless; what's the point of keeping them?"
Elder Wang fell silent.
Zhao Yi said, "According to what you just said, the Sword Sect may currently have a Immortal Saint Realm expert?"
Elder Wang nodded. "That's right."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but recall what had happened inside the Sword Sect, and a sense of fear immediately arose within him.
That silver-haired man was terrifying; he left a deep scar on his mind, and every time he thought of him, he felt a sense of dread.
Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes. "No wonder, no wonder the Sword Sect dares to be so arrogant. It turns out they have produced a Immortal Saint Realm expert."
As he spoke, he looked at Elder Wang, "Do you know that Immortal Saint Realm expert?"
Elder Wang shook his head decisively, "I don't know him, I've never seen him before."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi frowned deeply. "Don't you recognize him? Did he just appear out of nowhere?"
Elder Wang remained silent and did not speak.
After a moment, Zhao Yi shook his head. "Forget it, he's just a Immortal Saint Realm. Once the Five Sects Grand Competition begins, I'll have that lord help me destroy the Sword Sect."
Upon hearing this, Elder Wang's pupils suddenly contracted. "My lord? Is it that person from the Cloud Continent?"
In the Upper Immortal Realm, there are Three Thousand Continents, and Cloud Continent ranks among the Three Thousand Continents ten.
Zhao Yi nodded. "Mm."
Elder Wang exclaimed in shock, "That esteemed person is no ordinary individual; he's actually willing to stay in our remote, Desolate Continent!"
Zhao Yi said, "That lord told me that he encountered a bottleneck when breaking through his cultivation level and needed to fight against someone of his generation. He just happened to hear that our five sects were going to hold Five Sects Grand Competition, so he was willing to stay in the Desolate Continent."
After listening, Elder Wang suddenly understood. "So that's how it is! I was wondering why someone like him would stay in the Desolate Continent."
As he spoke, he became puzzled, "In our Desolate Continent, is there any genius who could rival him?"
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "That's also what I'm wondering about."
Elder Wang frowned slightly, about to speak, but Zhao Yi said, "That lord surely has his own reasons. Why should we speculate?"
Upon hearing this, Elder Wang swallowed back what he was about to say.
After a moment, Elder Wang asked, "Where is that person now?"
Zhao Yi said, "It's right here in our Setting Sun Sect."
He shook his head. "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to go see that important person."
Elder Wang nodded; he roughly knew what Zhao Yi was going to do.
All they wanted was for that esteemed person to take action and destroy the Sword Sect.
Zhao Yi arrived at the entrance of a small courtyard.
He took a deep breath first, and then knocked on the wooden door.
"Enter."
A moment later, a voice came from inside. Although it was only one word, the voice was still clear and pleasant.
Zhao Yi pushed open the wooden door and saw a woman sitting by the pond, lost in thought.
The woman had skin as white as snow, delicate features, a graceful figure, and stood tall and elegant. She wore a long white dress and looked like a fairy descended from heaven.
Behind the woman stood another woman, dressed appropriately and with dignified bearing, exuding an elegant air in every gesture.
Looking at the woman, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Yi's eyes, which startled him. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at her again.
The woman then looked at Zhao Yi and calmly asked, "Is there something you need?"
Zhao Yi nodded, then said, "There are still three months until the Five Sects Grand Competition."
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."
Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Um... could I ask you for a favor, sir?"
The woman said calmly, "Speak."
Zhao Yi didn't dare to hesitate and quickly recounted what had happened to Elder Wang at the Sword Sect.
After listening to Zhao Yi's words, the woman gave Zhao Yi a deep look. "You want me to help you destroy this Sword Sect?"
Zhao Yi nodded. "Yes, but it's entirely up to you, sir. If you're willing to help, then help; if you're not, then don't."
The woman said, "We'll see when the time comes."
Zhao Yi nodded, not daring to say anything more, "I understand, then I'll take my leave."
With that, he left the courtyard, gently closed the door, and departed.
After Zhao Yi left, the woman beside the girl said, " Qian'er, I really don't understand. What's so great about participating in this Five Sects Grand Competition? What kind of genius could possibly challenge you in this tiny Desolate Continent?"
Zhou Qian'er shook her head and said, " Aunt Feng, you mustn't think like that. Are geniuses in this world only found in those powerful continents?"
Aunt Feng remained silent.
Zhou Qian'er added, "I have a feeling that this Five Sects Grand Competition will definitely bring me a formidable opponent."
Aunt Feng was silent for a moment, then said, "Whatever you say."
As she spoke, her expression turned serious. "After the Five Sects Grand Competition is over, you'll have to come back with me."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qian'er fell silent. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Have they contacted you?"
Aunt Feng nodded and said, "Yes."
Zhou Qian'er remained silent.
"Sigh~"
Seeing this, Aunt Feng sighed and said, "The Holy Lord and the others are doing this for your own good."
Zhou Qian'er shook her head and said, "But if I did that, I wouldn't be myself anymore."
Aunt Feng wanted to say something more.
Zhou Qian'er shook her head and said, "Alright, Aunt Feng, I want to be alone."
