“Sect Master Feng… What’s… the meaning of this?”

The Five Elements Sect Master suddenly stopped in his tracks. His face was slightly pale as he felt an inexplicable chill.

It was no exaggeration to say that if he had been a step faster or if the sword light had moved a little, his entire foot would have been pierced by the sword light instantly!

If he had moved a little faster…

He did not dare to continue thinking about it.

“I don’t mean anything else.”

Feng Xia walked out of the Thousand Autumn Hall slowly. His expression was calm, like still well water. He looked down at the man below. “I just want to make one thing clear—the Thousand Autumn Valley… is not a place for fellow practitioner.”

He paused for a moment and glanced at the Five Elements Sect Master before continuing.

“If fellow practitioner continue to move forward, don’t blame me for killing you.”

“You…”

The Five Elements Sect Master’s expression turned extremely ugly.

No matter what, he was still a sect master. He had personally brought a congratulatory gift, but was stopped outside the sect by Feng Xia who even said that if he continued forward, the other party would start a massacre!

However, when he faced Feng Xia, he still managed to suppress his anger.

It could not be helped. Feng Xia was just too powerful.

“Sect Master Feng.”

Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling, the Five Elements Sect Master squeezed out a smile again and said, “I’m paying a visit today to express my apology.”

He raised his hand and took out a scroll with the official seal of the Xuanwu Kingdom on it. He continued with a smile, “I was indeed in the wrong for what happened before. Therefore, I’ll offer you a Golden Gauze Rock Mine and ten bottles of Dao Platform Realm treasure pills as compensation! I hope Sect Master Feng, on account of the old Sect Master Ji…”

As he spoke gaily, the Five Elements Sect Master took a few more steps forward. “Furthermore, the Thousand Autumn Valley and the Five Elements Sect are long-time friends…”

Although he had to swallow his anger, he opined that all his efforts would be worth it in the end.

After defeating the grand duke who was at the Primal Core Realm, Feng Xia was undoubtedly the number one expert in Xuanwu Kingdom, an existence that was even more intimidating than the imperial court. As long as one could establish a good relationship with him, it was worth a great price!

“It’ll work, it’ll definitely work… Back then, the imperial court accepted the Five Elements Sect’s surrender. There’s no reason why the Thousand Autumn Valley won’t accept it now!”

The Five Elements Sect Master thought to himself.

Before he made this trip, his disciple had analyzed that after experiencing a huge battle and with the old Sword King passing away not long ago, the Thousand Autumn Valley was exhausted and would definitely not start a war if it was not necessary.

It was precisely because of this that he brought highly valuable gifts and tried to turn hostility into friendship.

“Huh?” At this moment, Feng Xia’s eyes suddenly narrowed and a dangerous light flashed. “You just said… on whose account?”

Crack—

An invisible sword light tore through the air and brushed past the Five Elements Sect Master’s scalp, instantly raising a large patch of severed hair!

“Of, of course it’s the old Sword King…” The Five Elements Sect Master trembled and forced a smile. “Sect Master Feng might not know, but the old Sword King’s greatest wish when he was alive was to unite with the various sects of Mount Canglan…”

“In that case, there’s nothing more to say over there.”

Feng Xia let out a long sigh, his expression somewhat bleak. “You shouldn’t have come.”

When the Five Elements Sect Master saw this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. Since Feng Xia had relented, it meant that there was still a chance to speak again!

It was Lei Shao, who was beside Feng Xia, who was stunned. He opened his mouth at Feng Xia, but after a moment of hesitation, he closed it again and did not say a word.

“Let it be.” Someone heard the boorish man sigh in a low voice.

In the next moment, the Five Elements Sect Master saw the white clothed young man raise his right hand, and a wisp of a shocking sword light that he had never seen in his life assaulted him, illuminating the sky before dimming everything in his field of vision.

In the quietness, the Five Elements Sect Master seemed to see a sword diagram slowly unfolding in front of him.

There were mountains and rivers in the diagram. The mountains and rivers were like swords being held in the hands of an unparalleled swordsman. With a single strike, he cut through objects, spirits, as well as the Great Dao!

“Why—”

With a poof sound, the Five Elements Sect Master’s heart was pierced by the sword light.

He lowered his head and looked at the wound in his chest as blood kept gushing out. He desperately urged his magical power to stop the blood from flowing out and maintain his life essence.

However, Feng Xia’s sword contained an unparalleled sword light. It was filled with destructive intent and kept destroying his flesh and blood, preventing his injuries from healing.

In just a few breaths, the Five Elements Sect Master could clearly feel that his life was slipping away. An indescribable shadow pressed down from all corners. It was death descending, as the world that belonged to the living faded away.

“Why?”

Feng Xia looked at him coldly and turned to look at a corner of the Thousand Autumn Valley.

The Five Elements Sect Master followed his gaze and saw that it was a quiet purple bamboo forest. In the purple bamboo forest, there were earth mounds of various sizes.

There were disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley moving in and out, erecting tombstones for the mounds.

In this great calamity, the Thousand Autumn Valley was not completely without casualties.

In the beginning, there were people who were harmed by the array formation. There were also people who were killed by the cultivators of the various sects guarding the Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation when they went to investigate it. There were also people who lost their lives in the fire that killed Mo Yuanlong.

In the deepest part of the purple bamboo forest stood a slightly taller gravestone. A broken sword was inserted in front of the grave. The name of the sword was Xue Ling.

“That’s fellow practitioner Ji’s sword.”

Feng Xia retracted his gaze and said casually, “After that battle, I couldn’t find fellow practitioner Ji’s corpse. I only found half of his sword, so I could only erect a cenotaph for him.”

“Fellow practitioner of Five Elements.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xia had already walked in front of the Five Elements Sect Master. His gaze was as cold as snow. “If you don’t die, how can you comfort the souls of our sect?”

“I—”

At the same time that a sword light lit up, the Five Elements Sect Master subconsciously closed his eyes.

However, at this moment, he could strangely see Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan. He wanted to shout for help. The three of them were good friends when they were young. They had sparred with each other and discussed the Dao. They had also wandered the martial arts world and fought various opponents together.

At that time, the Thousand Autumn Valley had a very close relationship with the Five Elements Sect and everyone interacted often.

However, at some point, the relationship between the three of them gradually became distant.

Until today, when the two sects were like fire and water, and they had become enemies.

As if sensing his gaze, Lei Shao and Liu Chuanyuan were both stunned. Lei Shao turned away, as if he could no longer bear to see what was going to happen next. Liu Chuanyuan just snorted coldly.

Plop—

A large head fell and rolled far away, leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.
