Ancient Sword Mountain, within the Ancestral Hall, a sudden mournful clash of swords echoed.
Instantly, every disciple of the Ancient River Sword Sect felt their swords quiver.
"The united cry of ten thousand swords! Which peak master has died?"
"My God, a catastrophic event is about to happen?"
"Our nine peak masters are all in their prime. How could one of them suddenly die? Could it be..."
"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to kill the peak master of our Ancient River Sword Sect is destined to die!"
...
It was not only the regular disciples who were agitated. In the Ancestral Hall, peak masters from every faction gathered, and sitting at the primary position was the sect leader of the Ancient River Sword Sect.
The sorrowful cry had come from the sword representing Bihant Peak.
A peak master, a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, had been murdered. When was the last time such a thing happened?
The Ancient River Sword Sect's high-ranking members were all furious.
