Ji Beilan was unconvinced and wanted to say something, but the Empress forcefully pulled him back.
His lips trembled, and he wanted to speak several times, but under the Empress' stern gaze, he didn't say anything in the end. However, his expression was even uglier than before.
On the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect's side, the higher-ups gradually woke up.
In fact, some of them had already woken up and had been pretending to be unconscious.
They didn't dare to wake up until they were sure that this matter was really over.
After waking up, they were very silent. They each took a pill and sat down cross-legged to heal their injured bodies.
Although they looked very miserable, they weren't injured at the core.
After all, their realms were there. Even if they didn't dare to use True Qi to protect their bodies, they wouldn't hurt Jun Wu Xie's core.
With the help of the pills, their injuries recovered very quickly.
Especially the four Grand Master late-stage Hidden Elders. After two hours, the wounds on their faces were completely healed, but they were still very swollen and looked like braised pig heads.
Their essence, Qi, and spirit had mostly recovered. Without saying anything, they directly left the high platform and entered the isolated area, preparing to open the seal of the trial ground.
At this moment, a strand of True Qi so powerful that it was suffocating came from afar and instantly spread to the square.
Everyone was shocked and raised their heads one after another.
A gray-robed elder appeared in their line of sight. At the end of the distance, he stepped on the void and came over.
His footsteps seemed very slow, but every time he took a step, his body flashed as if teleporting. In an instant, he arrived above the square.
Everyone's pupils contracted slightly.
The gray-robed elder was holding a bloody head in his hand. The hair was disheveled and covered the face, so no one could see who it was.
But when he appeared in such a manner, it immediately made the atmosphere tense to the extreme!
"The Mountain Bearing Sword Sect's words were disrespectful and impudent, damaging Miss Yinlan's reputation. This old servant will punish you on her behalf as a warning to others!"
The gray-robed elder's voice echoed above the square as he casually threw the head down.
Everyone's eyes were instantly locked on the head. They moved along with the head, wanting to see who it was.
The people of the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect were shocked and angry!
Someone had come to kill someone from the Mountain Bearing Sword Sect?
Who had been killed?
They also stared at the head.
However, the person's hair was disheveled and covered his face, making it difficult to identify him.
Jun Wu Xie's lips curled into a smile as he looked at the head as well.
When that old man made a move, it was definitely not to kill some small fry. It was most likely a high-ranking member of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect.
He knew that as long as the old man knew about this matter, he would definitely make a move.
However, he did not expect that his movements would be so fast. In just a few hours, he had actually brought the heads of the upper echelons of the Mountain Supporting Sword Sect here.
Only Yan Qingcheng did not pay attention to the head. Instead, she was sizing up the elder. Her beautiful purple eyes flashed with surprise.
This old man claimed to be Ji Inran's servant, but his cultivation base was at the Late-stage Grandmaster Realm!
She could not help feeling astonished.
In this era where the Sage Sects were absent, a late-stage Grandmaster Realm powerhouse could do whatever he wanted.
But they were willing to be slaves and servants!
From this, one could imagine that Ji Inran's Master must be a peerless powerhouse of the Holy Ancestor Realm!
The head fell in a straight line.
In the end, it hovered 20 meters above the ground of the square and stopped in midair.
"How dare you kill someone from the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect!"
The hidden elders of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect were so angry that they were trembling.
Facing the powerhouse of the Phantom Pupil Clan, they could not resist and did not dare to make a sound. However, it did not mean that they had to swallow their anger in front of others.
There was a surge of anger in their hearts that could not be vented!
"Have you thought about the price you would have to pay to kill someone from the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect?"
The four hidden elders' killing intent was blazing. Their eyes were cold. A mountain condensed from True Qi appeared behind each of them. Their auras were soaring into the sky.
"What price do I have to pay to kill a reckless ant?"
Elder Yu said lightly. With a wave of his sleeve, a gust of wind surged.
The hair that covered the head and face was blown up, revealing a pale face.
It was a middle-aged man. His face was pale and his eyes were tightly shut. His eyes, nose, ears, and mouth were all stained with blood.
The moment the people of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect saw that face, their eyes widened and their bodies trembled.
"Sect Master!"
They all cried out in grief. Then, they collapsed to the ground. Their lips trembled and their throats were dry. They could no longer make a sound.
What?
Everyone was shocked beyond words. They could not believe their ears.
That head was … the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect's Sect Master?
He was the leader of a high-level force, and he was in his own sect. How could someone cut off his head?
This was unimaginable!
Instantly, everyone looked at the grey-robed elder differently.
"You … you … you actually … actually …"
The hidden elder of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect pointed at Elder Yu. Tears flowed down his face as his body trembled. Before he could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted on the spot.
Jun Wu Xie was also dumbfounded.
He knew that the old man was not a kind person and would definitely punish the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect.
However, he did not expect that he would directly go to their sect and cut off their Sect Master's head!
This kind of attitude was simply too domineering!
"You should be satisfied that I did not kill the upper echelons of your Mountain Upholding Sword Sect! I will not interfere in the battle of the younger generation. However, you older martial artists have also participated. You have to pay the price! A mere Mountain Upholding Sword Sect dares to allow their disciples to covet Miss Yin Lan. You really don't know what death is! "
Elder Yu's voice was very cold and filled with killing intent.
After he finished speaking, he stared coldly at Jun Wu Xie beside Yan Qingcheng and turned to leave. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the end of the world.
At this time, the head in the air fell to the ground with a bang.
The people of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect stumbled forward and knelt in front of the head. Mournful cries rang out.
Everyone recovered from their shock.
Only then did they know that the sect behind the Seventh Princess was so powerful that they could directly go to the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect and kill their Sect Master!
Looking at the people of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect crying bitterly.
Everyone inexplicably felt that they were somewhat pitiful.
When they came, they were so arrogant and domineering. They did not expect to kick two steel plates in a row and suffer the consequences of their own actions. They suffered heavy losses. Even their Sect Master was beheaded!
Among the high-level forces in the world, probably no one could be more miserable than the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect.
Jun Wu Xie rubbed his chin.
He also somewhat sympathized with this Mountain Upholding Sword Sect now.
Really, it was a tragedy. Too tragic.
Just as the saying went, the higher the attitude at the beginning, the more miserable the fall.
This Mountain Upholding Sword Sect could be said to be the most miserable sect in history after failing to show off.
...
The Mountain Upholding Sword Sect's Elder Hidden carefully wiped the mud off the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect Master's head. Then, he took out a jade box and put it away with trembling hands.
At this time, the void above the square suddenly split open.
A Territory Gate appeared.
A middle-aged man in a sword robe walked out with several young martial artists with grief and indignation.
"What are you crying for!" The middle-aged man scolded in a deep voice as soon as he came out. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he scanned the crowd. Then, he looked at the people of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect and said, "The Sect Master is gone. Just choose another person. Your Mountain Upholding Sword Sect is still the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect!"
Behind him, a young disciple immediately stepped forward and said to Elder Hidden and the others, "Elders Hidden and Core Elders, this is the lord from the Heaven Splitting Sword Sect. He already knows about this matter. Now that the lord is supporting our Mountain Upholding Sword Sect, we don't have to fear anyone anymore! "
The people of the Mountain Upholding Sword Sect immediately woke up from their grief and stepped forward to greet him.
"Lord, please uphold justice for our Mountain Upholding Sword Sect!"
Their faces were filled with grief and indignation. Today's humiliation was truly unbearable.
Not only were they slapped in the face, but even their Sect Master was killed!
