Silence! A deathly, absolute silence!
All the Elders present had forgotten to make a sound; they just watched the stunned Head Disciple of Divine Phoenix Peak before them.
Another awkward silence ensued.
From the high platform, the somewhat hoarse voice of True Monarch Taiwu sounded, "Everyone, please step back. I have something to discuss privately with Lin Xiao."
"We will duly follow the True Monarch's decree!"
The Supreme Elders, as the highest echelon of the Qinglan Sect, understood this more clearly than anyone else. This Taiwu Sword Saint, who had guarded Mount Taicang and suppressed the Sky Yin Blood Demon for nearly eight hundred years by burning his life essence, had reached his end. Next, he would likely pass on some true comprehension of the Sword Dao to this stunning junior, without holding anything back.
In an instant, everyone present, including the other Five Sages, transformed into streaks of Escape Light and rushed down the mountain.
