Chapter 467: The Dust Has Settled
Although the Holy Water Sect’s Sect Master’s complexion was ghastly pale, she was still standing there perfectly all right. How was she already dead?
A woman, about fifty years old, was standing next to her and supporting the sect master’s arm.
The two cut to the chase and pounced at him. The mystic energy from each person’s fist melded together and swept towards his face with a roar.
This greatly shocked Liu Yizhi.
He had had a taste of the sect master’s ability earlier and knew that she was a level-15 great mystic cultivator through and through. As for this old woman beside the sect master, he could tell from her strength that she was not ordinary either.
“Xiao Hong, bring the children away!” The sect master suddenly lunged over and latched tightly onto Liu Yizhi’s body.
Everyone saw the door to the sect master’s room being smashed open. Their sect master, who was already breathing her last, rushed out and flew towards the snowy peak’s summit while clutching onto Liu Yizhi.
“Ah-Xun! Leave!” Before everyone could be surprised, the sect master left her last words. While dragging Liu Yizhi towards the snowy peak’s summit, a booming self-detonation erupted…
Aunt Yi’s eyes instantly watered.
Along with this self-detonation, half of the Sect Master’s Peak split apart and triggered a roaring and hair-raising avalanche…
At the same time.
Duan Yue, Situ Yi, and company who were hurrying back to the Daybreak Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect, respectively, all simultaneously received news of the Holy Water Sect coming under attack.
Daybreak Sect’s Sect Master Liang Wanshan promptly said, “The three sects are branches of the same tree. We cannot just look on unfeelingly as the Six Prefectures besiege the Holy Water Sect.”
“Master, I’ll go with you.” Duan Yue said immediately.
The group immediately started to reroute towards the Holy Water Sect. They met up with Situ Min and company from the Heavenly Dao Sect at the adventurer base and hastened towards the snowy peaks.
On the other end, inside Five Moon City.
City Lord Wu Mantian and his madam stood at the window and looked at the blackened sky in deep worry, not knowing what to do.
There was no one in Five Moon City who didn’t know about the great commotion inside the Holy Water Sect tonight.
Everyone didn’t understand what happened over at the Holy Water Sect, but the common people naturally didn’t dare to stick their noses in other people’s business either.
The next day, everyone was left speechless with fear as they gazed over at the Holy Water Sect’s practically razed snowy peaks.
Half of the Sect Master’s Peak, especially, seemed to have been directly shaved off, the entire peak reduced by more than half. The towering flames burned for the entire night.
No one dared to go over and investigate what happened.
Five Moon City’s City Lord, too, only dared to send two level-10 experts over for a stealthy look.
Very soon, the news they brought back was: Not a single person was alive in all of the Holy Water Sect.
Everything, all the dust, seemed to have settled.
The earth-shattering war three days ago seemed to have been buried by the never-melting snow.
These few days, the citizens inside Five Moon City were discussing in private that the Holy Water Sect had probably offended an expert from the Six Prefectures, which was why they sparked such a tragic extermination.
“What did you say got exterminated?” Suddenly, a small, white, and clean hand grabbed a chatty woman’s collar and lifted her up with a single hand. It terrified that woman so much that her legs kicked erratically as she repeatedly begged for mercy. “Spare me, Miss. Spare me.”
Qiao Mu, who had hastened back for three days and four nights straight and finally arrived at Five Moon City, could not accept this piece of news at all.
Impossible!
She shook her head! Master wouldn’t lie to her!
Qiao Mu shook her head furiously, then shook her head again. She abruptly threw down that chatty woman and bolted towards the city gate with a leap off her toes. Everyone only saw a pale figure flash like mist past a hundred people in a split second, and their eyes all involuntarily bulged in wonder at the sight.
