Five Elements Sect.
After listening to his disciple’s suggestion, the Five Elements Sect Master finally managed to getr his courage back. However, at this moment, the world suddenly shook and a violent roar sounded from afar.
Immediately after that, a large amount of dust kept rising like there was an earth dragon flipping its body, almost forming a gray curtain in the sky!
“It seems to be coming from the direction of the Thousand Autumn Valley.”
After sensing the surroundings for a moment, the Five Elements Sect Master’s expression changed drastically. “What exactly are these things underground!!”
He hurriedly flew up into the sky and looked into the distance, towards the source of the tremor. Immediately, his heart sank.
It was a huge scar that could be described as “earth splitting”. It lay across the ground and spread outwards from the Thousand Autumn Valley. From his angle, it was clearly the scar of a sword strike that had torn through the ground!
A sword strike from Thousand Autumn!
“Is this… a warning from the Thousand Autumn Valley?”
Sensing the terrifying aura that kept coming from the depths of the crack, the Five Elements Sect Master shivered for no reason as goosebumps appeared on the back of his neck.
As far as he was concerned, this was undoubtedly a warning from the Thousand Autumn Valley, and most likely a warning from that mysterious Primal Core Realm expert!
“This sword… this sword!”
The Five Elements Sect Master stared fixedly at the crack. His consciousness started circulating at an astonishing speed. Drops of sweat that were the size of beans kept seeping out from his back, gradually accumulating into a puddle under his body.
No matter how one looked at it, the long and narrow crack was the mark of a sword strike.
From the Thousand Autumn Valley in the west, the sword strike had split the vast land all the way to the entrance of the Five Elements Sect.
If this sword strike had continued forward, it would undoubtedly have torn the Five Elements Sect apart!
For a moment, the Five Elements Sect Master’s face turned even paler. His aura quickly weakened and his body swayed. There was even blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly trembled violently and took a few steps back. He fell to the ground on his butt as more blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, then he crouched over the ground and wept as if his parents had died.
“This sword… I can’t understand it!”
He subconsciously tried to deduce the profundities of this sword strike. However, no matter how he tried to exhaust his mind and his thoughts, he was unable to see through the secret of this earth splitting sword strike and suffered a heavy injury for his efforts instead.
If he could not even understand it, how could he crack the mystery and deal with it?
“I can’t understand… I can’t understand at all.”
The Five Elements Sect Master sat there in a daze, muttering to himself. He seemed to be laughing and crying at the same time. After an unknown period of time, he shook his head forcefully and pulled himself together again.
“If this sword is a warning from that expert, then even the plan that Xuan’er came up with might not work!”
“Perhaps it’s time to make a decision.”
The Five Elements Sect Master stood up again and looked in the direction of the Thousand Autumn Valley. His gaze gradually became intense. “Thousand Autumn Valley, our sect has lost this time. However… the Five Elements Sect won’t be subservient to others forever!”
Back then, the Thousand Autumn Valley had indeed blocked a calamity for the Five Elements Sect. It was not an exaggeration to say that this favor weighed heavier than ten thousand mountains.
However, as time passed, the kindness they received from the Thousand Autumn Valley became a nightmare that haunted every Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect!
If they wanted to continue to develop their strength in the Mount Canglan area, they would inevitably have to compete with the Thousand Autumn Valley. However, because of this previous kindness, the Five Elements Sect would always be inferior to the Thousand Autumn Valley when there was a conflict.
When kindness had become a curse, the only choice was to either destroy the kindness or transcend the curse.
The Five Elements Sect merely chose the former.
“That person is at the Primal Core Realm, so he should be broad-minded. If I personally pay a visit to apologize and explain the pros and cons of the matter, perhaps I might be able to make him show mercy…”
Finally, the Five Elements Sect Master made his decision.
