Many Celestials from the Divine Sword Sect gathered here.
Supreme Elder Feng Shaoyu and Wan Xian Gu had already returned from the Wei Family.
"We didn’t see any Celestial from the Wei Family at all, only a Great Grandmaster received us, claiming they were unaware of the matter."
Feng Shaoyu stated gravely.
The Wei Family’s attitude clearly showed their disregard for the Divine Sword Sect.
The entire scene fell silent.
Everyone knew that the Divine Sword Sect had only two choices left; one was to endure the loss of a Celestial, which would likely cause the sect’s unity to disintegrate internally.
The second option was to retaliate equally against the Wei Family, which would inevitably lead to a full-scale war.
If the Divine Sword Sect were to lose, they might completely dissolve.
"When Luo Wangfu’s great army pressured our borders, our Divine Sword Sect faced a life-and-death crisis yet did not submit. Now that the Wei Family bullies us to this extent, how can we endure it further?"
A hot-tempered Supreme Elder slammed the table and shouted.
This prompted affirmation from some other Supreme Elders.
Elder Qing Song saw this situation and felt a great headache.
Because he knew that making a decision might push the Divine Sword Sect into an unpredictable abyss.
"Elder Feng, you go to the Wei Family once more, be more assertive."
Elder Qing Song said after pondering for a moment, "You must see the Wei Family’s Celestial."
He knew this matter required extreme caution and could not rashly start a war.
"Elder Qing Song, what’s there to talk about? Going there again is only inviting humiliation. If the sect doesn’t seek justice for Senior Brother Yun, I, Liu Bai, will leave the Divine Sword Sect and personally seek revenge for Senior Brother."
That temperamental Celestial scoffed coldly, slamming the table and stood up angrily leaving the hall.
He and Elder Yun were brothers, having a very close relationship.
The downfall of Elder Yun undoubtedly made him the most angered.
Elder Qing Song didn’t comment on this.
From a personal standpoint, he certainly wanted to avenge Elder Yun.
But rationally speaking, he couldn’t act impulsively.
The entire Divine Sword Sect, including disciples, families, and numerous affiliated martial arts forces too voluminous to count, consisted of over a million people.
Starting a war would cause severe consequences.
Located at the boundary between Hechen County and Yuanyu County.
Currently, it was autumn, with the surrounding mountain peaks covered in dazzling red scale trees, extremely spectacular.
In the valley, there was an enveloping red miasma.
Several figures were gathered outside this red miasma.
"Family Head, the people from Divine Sword Sect are here again, should we meet with them?"
A person descended from the sky to the group.
"Hmph, you are really useless, letting people escape with so many of you, otherwise, there wouldn’t be so much trouble."
A shadow suddenly stepped out from the red miasma, an elderly man with cold features and black beard.
Several Celestials present changed their expressions to respectful, "Seen the ancestor."
He was one of the two Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials from the Wei Family.
The strongest being an Upper Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial.
Among the many Celestial-level families and forces in Tai Martial Dao, the Wei Family could be considered in the top three.
Even within the reach of the Divine Sword Sect, they were unmatched.
"Since the Divine Sword Sect has already learned what happened, give them two choices. If they know what’s good for them, willing to smooth things over, then act as if nothing happened. If they want to fight, heh... then we’ll take over the Divine Sword Sect’s territory."
The black-bearded old man said indifferently.
If it weren’t for the rules set by the upper ranks, not to arbitrarily seize territory of Human World’s local forces or to slaughter indiscriminately... there wouldn’t be a place for the Divine Sword Sect to stand.
But if the Divine Sword Sect initiates the war, that provides an ample reason for the Wei Family.
As that Celestial was about to leave, suddenly a faint voice came through.
"The Wei Family’s ancestor sure talks big."
The black-bearded old man’s gaze turned cold, and he shouted lightly.
"I am here on behalf of the Divine Sword Sect, simply seeking justice."
That figure chuckled lightly, and suddenly the sky changed color, terrible Sword Intent spread covering the area, countless Sword Qi gathered forming a vast River of Sword Qi.
"Top-level Heavenly Phenomenon..."
The black-bearded old man’s face changed dramatically, his powerful Heavenly Phenomenon Level Martial Intent diffused out, protecting the several Wei Family Celestials present,
But the River of Sword Qi from the sky crushed down, instantly breaking through his Heavenly Phenomenon Level Martial Intent, then the rolling River of Sword Qi wrapped around these Wei Family Celestials and the ancestor.
"The Wei Family killed a Celestial of the Divine Sword Sect... so I’ll kill two from the Wei Family, collecting some interest, it should be quite reasonable."
As the figure spoke, the terrifying River of Sword Qi suddenly tightened, instantly tearing apart the defense built by the black-bearded old man.
The next moment, two Sword Qi swept through, beheading two heads.
The remaining people, including that Wei Family elder, all spewed blood.
Li Qian revealed his figure, dressed in a gray robe, wearing an ordinary hat, he came to the side of the red miasma.
His Spiritual Sense sensed that there was an Array cloaking this area, clearly, it was an Ancient Relic.
He guessed the reason the Wei Family attacked the Divine Sword Sect’s Celestial was probably to prevent the exposure of this Ancient Relic.
The origin of this Ancient Relic must be extraordinary.
Li Qian’s Spiritual Sense permeated, capturing Array Formation Fluctuations.
Soon, he figured out that the Array was clearly from the lineage of the Taishan Formation Record.
He had a deep study of the Taishan Formation Record, even his self-created Qian Yuan Array Manual was inspired by it.
Thus, he moved, entering into the red miasma.
