No sooner had the voice faded than a very faint vibration followed.
Tian Yuanqing’s face couldn’t help but change drastically.
At the same time, with a flash of his sword-bearing figure, he vanished from the table, leaving only a voice echoing from afar.
"Yuanqing, notify all Sword Cultivator disciples to ready their swords immediately!"
"Yes!"
As the voice fell, the sword-bearing figure had already crossed multiple barriers, flying to the top floor of Mingxin Palace.
Simultaneously, several sword lights swiftly followed, and once they stood firm, they turned out to be Ting Jian, Mo Jian, Shi Jian, and Jian Si - the four Elders.
All five Great Elders of Mingxin Palace gathered, their expressions solemn as they looked into the distance.
Only to see a thread of darkness slowly appearing on the horizon, then it surged like boiling tides, casting darkness over the sun and the moon wherever it passed.
"Indeed, the Demon Ghosts have re-emerged among men!" Holding his sword, he exhaled lightly and said in a moderated voice.
Amongst the five Great Elders, the youngest but most hot-tempered and possessing the most potent killing intent, Shi Jian, chuckled coldly upon hearing this, "How can the Demon Ghosts possibly matter? They dare to run wild in front of Mingxin Palace? It seems our swords have been silent for too long, so long that these fiends have forgotten to fear!"
Without greeting anyone, he leaped forth, transformed into a streak of light, and in the blink of an eye, he flew forward, facing the terrifying and formidable wave of darkness with a derisive smile.
With a lift of his hand, a beam of sword light took shape instantly, then with a raise of his eyebrows, he shouted coldly, "Fiends! Scram!"
Having said that, the sword light flashed and vanished, reappearing in front of the dark tide, its radiance now unbelievably brilliant.
Boom!
After a loud noise, the once mighty dark tide was cleaved through by this sword strike.
The exploding fireworks were like a succession of dazzling fireworks, blinding to the onlookers.
This scene was observed by many of the cultivators in Jianzhou.
Immediately, cheers arose from all around.
"Brilliant sword!"
"By the Sword Intent, it must be Elder Shi Jian of Mingxin Immortal Palace!"
"Elder Shi Jian indeed has swift movements. I had only just noticed this Demon Ghost Qi and was about to take to the skies to strike down the demon, but I hadn’t expected him to have already dealt with it single-handedly!" complained a Sword Cultivator with a touch of regret.
The four Elders of Mingxin Palace witnessed this scene with a slight wry smile.
Especially Jian Si, who said somewhat helplessly, "Old Five is of such an age and yet he’s still as hot-tempered as ever? He strikes without even a word of warning?"
Ting Jian, the most gentle-natured amongst them, smiled at the words, "Our fifth brother has always been like this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to master his lethal sword technique!"
Mo Jian, usually reserved and reticent, couldn’t help but add, "Fifth brother’s action was good. In the end, all those Demon Ghosts must be exterminated!"
"Indeed! But the question now is, how could these Demon Ghosts, not seen in the world for so long, suddenly appear and dare to challenge Mingxin Palace?" pondered Elder Jian Si, dressed in white and, despite his age, still dashing and handsome, with a frown on his face.
At this moment, Shi Jian, quite pleased with his own sword strike, couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
"Dare to cause trouble in front of Mingxin Palace with this little strength? What a joke!"
But no sooner had the words left his lips than the whole of Jianzhou suddenly began to shake violently, and then a horrifying scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
Along the edges of Jianzhou, columns of black Qi rose to the sky, turning into towering pillars that seemed to support the heavens.
Soon after, these towering pillars extended into branches of black Qi that connected with one another.
The moment they took form, the entire Jianzhou trembled mightily; even the Spiritual Power in the air fluctuated erratically.
Everyone involuntarily gasped in shock.
