Year 719 of the Xuanwu Calendar.
The eighth Sect Master of the Thousand Autumn Valley, Ji Qixi, passed away.
During the battle, two of the Xuanwu Kingdom’s dukes died and three of the five Five Elements Altars were destroyed. The siege of the Thousand Autumn Valley was finally over.
The old Sword King’s sword light finally disappeared from the world.
“Perhaps… Master was already prepared to die the moment he came out of seclusion.”
Lei Shao panted heavily and said to himself slowly, “Even without fellow practitioner Feng around, he would still do this. Everything he did was for that chance of survival!”
The old Sword King, Ji Qixi, was both the sect master and also the master who taught him and the Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan.
There seemed to be sword beams shooting out from his eyes as he looked at the shocked figures outside the valley. These were the experts from the various sects who had surrounded the Thousand Autumn Valley.
Originally, they were waiting for the two dukes to break through the defenses of the Thousand Autumn Valley, then they would follow behind and begin the slaughter in the valley.
However, the scene of the deaths of the two dukes was too shocking to the point that these vicious wolves were stunned on the spot. For a moment, no one dared to approach the Thousand Autumn Valley!
Just by looking at those faces, murderous intent surged in Lei Shao’s chest. He wished that he could rush up and fight those experts to the death while they were in a daze.
However, he suppressed his surging murderous intent and only glared fiercely at those people. Then, he turned around resolutely and raised his hand. His low voice traveled through his vital energy and entered the ears of many Thousand Autumn Valley disciples.
“The Sect Master has returned to heaven and I will temporarily take over the position of Sect Master.”
“All disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley, listen up!”
Lei Shao’s voice was choked with emotion.
This was the chance of survival that the old Sect Master, Ji Qixi, had envisaged!
“Master’s goal has never been to fight to the death with that person. Instead, he wants to use this time gap to buy precious time for the Thousand Autumn Valley!”
At this moment, Lei Shao completely understood what was going on.
With the death of the dukes, the experts outside would be deterred for the moment. With his strength and that of the other elders of the Thousand Autumn Valley, they still had a high chance of relocating the disciples!
As long as the people of the sect were still around, the sect would continue to exist.
“I can’t bear to…”
The words that the old Sect Master uttered not long ago still echoed in his ears. He was speaking not only to Lei Shao, but also to every disciple of the Thousand Autumn Valley.
“Barbarian Lei!”
Just as the disciples of the Thousand Autumn Valley were about to start moving, a figure suddenly rushed over. His handsome face was filled with deep sorrow.
Lei Shao was stunned for a moment before he looked up at Liu Chuanyuan. “Sissy… don’t be rash!”
Liu Chuanyuan was so angry that he laughed. “Asking me not to be rash? I should be the one saying that! Now is not the time to fight them head-on. However, once we have gotten all the disciples settled down, we have to end it with them!”
Only then did Lei Shao heave a long sigh of relief. His reaction made Liu Chuanyuan so angry that his eyebrows twitched.
“Let’s go, let’s go before these people react!”
Outside the Thousand Autumn Valley.
The Tianjue Sect Master and the others froze on the spot.
“This… this, this…”
The arrival of two dukes of the Xuanwu Kingdom. Did anyone know the significance of that gesture?
At the moment of King Zhennan’s appearance, he could even clearly see the boundless despair on Lei Shao’s face.
However, in the blink of an eye, the two dukes died without even leaving behind their corpses!
“Fellow practitioner… from Tianjue…”
The plump middle-aged man said with much difficulty, “The old Sword King of the Thousand Autumn Valley is also gone… Shouldn’t we take this opportunity…”
