Sacred Sect Headquarters, within the Black Magic Mountain.
Hum!
Light and shadow flicker, a figure emerges; it is none other than the Taoxu Road's Master, who was thought to have perished!
This is truly astonishing; he has actually survived, reappeared in the mortal world, and returned to the Sacred Sect Headquarters.
At this moment, the Master's face is solemn, silent, sitting there, lost in thought.
A long time passes, followed by a deep, echoing sigh.
Just then, demonic energy surges within the great hall, forming a vortex, and a tall figure steps out from it, none other than the Sect Master.
"Failed?" A low and majestic voice echoes, filling the vast hall where once all nine Grand Elders gathered, now only Taoxu Road's Master is left.
Such a splendid Sacred Sect, with nine Grand Elders, eighteen Holy Envoys, plus thirty-six Elders, could be called the premier power of the upper realms, yet now, it has nearly crumbled completely, approaching annihilation.
