Wen Qingye had killed the black-robed man with a single sword strike, and everyone present was dumbfounded. For a moment, no one could process what had happened.
The black-robed man was one of the seven Venerables of Taiyi Pavilion. It was well known that aside from the last few, all seven Venerables of Taiyi Pavilion had established their own spheres of influence, possessing considerable strength and power.
They were considered the pillars of Taiyi Pavilion, yet now, one had been slain by a new disciple from the Celestial Profound Sect. This outcome was utterly beyond their expectations.
This had undoubtedly weakened Taiyi Pavilion's strength significantly. If killing Hankong had been about eliminating Taiyi Pavilion's potential and its rising stars, then killing this black-robed man was a direct blow to the sect's overall power.
"Venerable Zhuo is dead?" Luu Jing muttered to himself. "It's over. How are we going to explain this to the Upper Sect?"
