Chapter 1508 The Second Sect Master
Yue Wuwei had just said those words.
Elder Hanlong issued an order in horror.
“Everyone, fall back! Retreat NOW!”
There were many spaceships around. At first glance, there were thousands of them coming from all directions.
Swoosh!
The fleet quickly retreated.
More than ten minutes later, they finally escaped.
“Phew… We almost entered the encirclement.”
“What’s going on? What happened to our sect?”
“What’s happening?”
At this moment, Elder Hanlong’s face was extremely gloomy. He gnashed his teeth and said, “The sect has been seized. Damn the Crimson Sunglow Sect!”
“Oh my god!”
As soon as he said that, all the elders present gasped.
“This, this is impossible!”
“How could the sect be seized? Elder Tian Chen is still in charge, and Elder Hua Mu is also there!”
In the face of so many angry, puzzled, and shocked voices, First Elder Hanlong closed his eyes and said in a bitter voice, “I don’t know, but Elder An told me the news. He said… the sect has been seized forcefully and 70% of the people died. The fleeing teams are in the center of the First War Zone. Let’s go there.”
“70% of them died. This can’t be happening. It’s not real!”
Many people couldn’t believe it.
But they had to admit that even the territory of the sect had been seized. How could the other party show mercy?
For a moment, all the elders present were pale and at a loss.
Hanlong and other elders were in an aircraft.
The other aircraft were all filled with sect disciples.
When they heard the order to retreat, they were very confused at first.
“Why are we retreating?”
“Wait! The spaceships that appeared just now didn’t belong to our sect?”
“It can’t be. How could there be other spaceships in our inner court?”
“Then why are we retreating?”
“…”
There were too many discussions going on among the aircraft.
For ordinary disciples, they were even more flustered.
But Yue Wuwei was the one who knew the most.
“A great battle broke out in the Sword Sect’s inner court.
“Many places are in a mess, and corpses are everywhere.”
Yue Wuwei said slowly, “This is a large-scale war of invasion. It can be said that the Sword Sect exists in name only. But whether the situation can be changed or not depends on whether the remaining teams of the Sword Sect are united and if they’re sufficient.”
After he said that, the temperature in the hall seemed to have dropped.
“In name only?” Mengmeng was stunned.
“Re-really?” Heavenly Hound was dumbfounded and sat there in a daze.
Yun Han was a little dazed. “Why?”
Hun Shang and Hun Xuan heard the news before they could be punished.
“The Sword Sect…”
The atmosphere seemed to be a little bleak.
“The Sword Sect is so powerful. How could it be defeated? If it were the Heavenly Evil Sect, I’m afraid they wouldn’t be able to hold on,” Mu Xue said. “It seems that there will be great turmoil on the Vast Heaven Star.”
“They’re unstoppable. We don’t know the specific situation yet.” Chen Changqing shook his head repeatedly. “Who did it? How did the Crimson Sunglow Sect do it? Everything is unknown.”
“Dad, do something to recapture the sect,” Yue Xiaonao said.
“Whatever we try to do will be useless. It’s too late. We can’t stop the general trend.” Yue Wuwei sighed softly. “Sometimes, no matter how strong you are, you can’t stop some things from happening. After all, one can’t be in two places at the same time. Judging from the state of the inner court, the battle seems to have started as soon as we entered the secret realm.”
“What about the Sword Sect then?” Yue Xiaonao asked gloomily.
“We’ll see what happens,” Zhao Feng whispered.
Logically speaking, they could only wait until the situation was clear.
Even though he didn’t have any sense of belonging to the Sword Sect, he’d at least stayed there during this period, and the current situation was infuriating.
The teams retreated.
On the way, Elder Hanlong did not give any explanation.
One day, two days, three days had passed…
He tried to contact Elder An, but the communication device didn’t work. The Energy Stone had run out of energy after it was activated.
They arrived at the First War Zone.
When they approached the center, a spaceship suddenly flew over from a distance.
“Hanlong.”
The two sides met.
First Elder Hanlong and the others entered the spaceship.
“Elder An, what’s going on? Where’s Grand Elder Tian Chen?” Hanlong asked impatiently.
“You… I…” Elder An’s mouth moved as if he couldn’t say anything and his lips weighed a thousand pounds.
But his gradually blood-red eyes interpreted the meaning of his words.
Clatter!
Hanlong and the others’ hearts seemed to skip a beat.
A sense of foreboding gradually took over their entire hearts.
“Exactly, exactly what happened?” Hanlong asked again.
Even he did not realize that his voice had begun to tremble.
Some of the people around Elder An choked with sobs.
“Grand Elder, is, is dead!”
Rumble!
This piece of news was like a bolt from the blue.
Hanlong felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. He stumbled and fell to the ground. His lips were trembling and his eyes were dull.
“Grand Elder is dead? You said Grand Elder is dead? Hey! Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?”
He didn’t seem to want to believe it.
“What he said is true.”
Elder An seemed to have aged decades.
He said in a trembling voice, “Grand Elder Tian Chen died. It was the Crimson Sunglow Sect who did it. Crimson King has returned. He’s back and personally started the war. He killed many, many elders.”
“What?!”
“Crimson King?”
“He’s back. How dare he take action?”
Crimson King, the Sect Master of the Crimson Sunglow Sect, was a strong opponent.
Among the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects, Crimson King was ranked second, and the Sect Master of the Authentic Martial Arts Sect was ranked first.
The strengths of the Sword Sect and Heavenly Evil Sect’s Sect Masters were on par with each other.
Very few people knew about these Sect Masters.
However, Tian Chen and the others were well aware of them.
In order to find an opportunity to pass the Tribulation Stage, the Sect Masters of the Four Great Sects had agreed to go to the Silver Dragon Galaxy together to look for opportunities.
For the sake of the balance of Vast Heaven Star, they were being watched by each other’s people.
However, Crimson King was back. He returned alone and brought back the news.
Elder An said that he saw with his own eyes that when Crimson King took action, he arrogantly said that all the Sect Masters of the other three sects had died in a secret realm.
Now that he had returned, he would rule over the Vast Heaven Star and establish himself in the Galaxy.
Crimson King had considered the Astral Domain of Vast Heaven to be his backyard.
As such, he launched this war.
Although Elder An didn’t know the situation of the other two sects, he knew that the Sword Sect had almost been annihilated.
“The space station has also been attacked.
“The war in outer space is getting fiercer, and our fleet has suffered heavy losses. We only have dozens of spaceships now, so we can’t travel long distances.”
Elder An said bitterly, “The entire Vast Heaven Star is like a huge net. It’s impossible to escape. We’ll slowly be wiped out. Crimson King won’t let us off.”
The Crimson Sunglow Sect didn’t make a move against the outer court of the Sword Sect.
Even many inner-door disciples had been captured.
These were all new young talents of the sect. Even if they were enslaved to mine, they would still be human resources.
“Grand Elder Tian Chen is dead.”
“Could it be that our Sword Sect is about to be annihilated?”
First Elder Hanlong’s heart was filled with grief. His face was pale as he sat on the ground, looking rather powerless.
“Hanlong.”
Elder An heaved a deep sigh and said, “We have to accept the fact. I’m also very sad about the death of Grand Elder Tian Chen, but… sadness can’t change the reality. Revenge is the only thing we need to think about and prepare for.”
“Revenge? How are we going to do that? We won’t stand a chance.” Hanlong laughed bitterly. “Crimson King is too powerful.”
“Grand Elder Tian Chen’s last edict is also his last words. I haven’t announced it yet. I was waiting for you to come back.” Elder An looked around and said, “Where is Elder Zhang Yumeng?”
“She, she’s with her team,” an elder said.
“Let’s wait until we get there,” Elder An said in a low voice.
After that, the whole room fell into silence.
After half an hour, they came to a canyon surrounded by many aircraft and tens of thousands of people.
They were at a loss as to what to do. The entire place was completely silent.
Everyone knew that the Ling Sea Sword Sect might be on the verge of destruction.
The spaceship came to a stop.
Everyone stepped down.
At this time, Hanlong was very depressed, and his aura was cold. He had regained his senses.
He asked someone to find Mengmeng and the others.
“Next, I’m going to announce something.”
Elder An spoke directly, and his voice spread to every corner.
“The Sect Master of the Crimson Sunglow Sect, Crimson King, returned and led a large number of people to launch a surprise attack on our sect. Tian Chen led the elders to fight back and finally died in Crimson King’s hands. According to what Crimson King said, the Sect Masters of our sect, the Heavenly Evil Sect, and the Authentic Martial Arts Sect died in a secret realm. I don’t know if the news is true or not, but given the current situation, the Sword Sect only has a few combat forces left.
“Our Sword Sect has entered a moment of life and death. I hope that all of you will be able to advance and retreat together with the Sword Sect. Even if we die, we’ll transform into Sword Souls and leave behind traces of the Sword Sect on Vast Heaven Star and inherit the sect’s spirit.
“What I want to say now is that Elder Tian Chen’s edict was his last words before he died.”
Speaking of this, Elder An glanced at Mengmeng. His voice gradually became dignified.
“The Sword Sect has reached a point where its very existence is at stake, and we can’t fight without a leader. Now, in the name of the Sword Sect’s Grand Elder, I appoint Elder Zhang Yumeng to be the second Sect Master of the Sword Sect! I hope that Elder Zhang Yumeng will lead the sect back to prosperity for old times’ sake.”
Clatter!
Everyone was a little shocked that Zhang Yumeng was appointed as the second Sect Master of the Ling Sea Sword Sect at such a young age.
“Ahem, ahem.”
Yue Wuwei coughed softly.
He sighed inwardly at Tian Chen’s accurate decision.
Tian Chen knew that if he wanted Zhang Han or Yue Wuwei to be the Sect Master, both of them would refuse.
As for Mengmeng, she used to be an elder, and it now seemed that she would be more suitable to be the Sect Master.
In fact, Tian Chen meant to rely on Yue Wuwei so that the Sword Sect could survive.
For the sect’s sake, this was Tian Chen’s last thought.
“Me? As the Sect Master?”
Mengmeng subconsciously wanted to refuse.
She felt that the burden was too heavy.
The sect could be wiped out at any time, and she was worried that she would not do the job well, especially at a life-and-death moment.
She didn’t want many innocent people to die because of her mistake.
However, at this time, an elder blushed and lost his mind.
He retorted, “On what basis?!
“Elder Hanlong is still alive!
“Is it a joke to let a young girl who is still wet behind the ears be the Sect Master?”
The voices of refutation appeared.
