In the darkness of night, a jade gate emanating a terrifying aura hovered before the eleven individuals. It was the portal to the Yunxiao Sect.
Usually, emissaries would step out from the Jade Gate.
But today, no one emerged. Instead, a row of golden characters floated in the air, exactly twenty in total.
"By order of the High Sect: Find the Demon Sword and slay the fiend who destroyed the Penglai Sword Pavilion. Let this be a warning to all!"
WHOOSH.
The golden characters did not last long, dissipating like smoke in less than ten seconds.
"..."
Silence fell upon the scene.
The leaders of the Three Sects and Eight Pavilions all wore different expressions, and the silence was terrifying.
After the massive Jade Gate also vanished, a full ten minutes passed before Blade Sect's Sect Master, Qi Jiuyang, finally broke the silence, his voice cold. "How... did they know we were here?"
This "they" obviously referred to the Yunxiao Sect.
