Secular World Sect’s Downfall
“Zhuge Xiaosheng?” uttered Tian Yuehen.
“You don’t deserve to be a patriarch! Didn’t you find it strange? Why would Gui Mohan suddenly kill your people? Did his guts suddenly grow a size? Haven’t you stopped to question it once?!” thundered Palace Guardian.
“It still does not invalidate the fact that Gui Mohan had a hand in this. They deserve to die for killing Uncle Xingzhou and destroying my sect!”
Bang! Palace Guardian bashed Tian Yuehen across the hall and into a wall. “I would kill you right now if you weren’t still useful!”
Palace Guardian assumed Mu Yu would attack Secular World Sect first, leading to him leaving Celestial Star Sect and Ghost Gate vulnerable to Mu Yu’s raid. By the time Palace Guardian caught on to Mu Yu’s plans, the two sects had already fallen victim.
Rumours of elemental demons having taken over Ghost Gate, the eight great sects competing amongst each other for resources instead of fighting elemental demons and the demise of Gui Mohan spread comparably to wildfire. Some even believed the elemental demons feigned defeat to lower the eight great sects’ guards to then launch a counterattack. Regardless of whether it was fact or fiction, the things witnessed had begun to sway people – courtesy of Village Chief Bu.
War was not solely a contest of strength but also a contest of wits.
“The eight great sects can’t be trusted. We must find our nine mystic immortals as soon as possible!” was the protest Village Chief Bu spread around. If the demise of Ghost Gate and Celestial Star Sect were nott enough to convince people to promote his stance, then perhaps the fall of one more sect would.

“Oof, look at this scorched land with earth spikes sticking and smoke still lingering here,” remarked Xiaoshuai, sharing Mu Yu’s elation at the sight of a razed Secular World Sect.
Ximen Buxing informed, “Lie Shang told me to tell you, ‘Secular World Sect harmed my brother and sister. All those who harm Dustfallen Sect will pay.’”
“Hahaha, Lie Shang and Xiang Nan did all this just to vent your behalf,” commented Xiaoshuai, still relishing the scenery. “They must believe Tian Ran really has died.”
I owe you two for doing what I can’t, Mu Yu inwardly expressed, referring to his promise to Tian Ran to spare Secular World Sect.
Tian Ran, in contrast to the duo, bit her lips and clung to Mu Yu, heartbroken at the ruins of her former home.
