However, these people would never expect that the people they were waiting for had already died in the treasure vault that was suspected to have been left behind by an Eminent Celestial. Nobody, apart from Duan Ling Tian, had survived!

Wei Suo, the Green Bat King, from the Black Kshetra Sect who was one of the Four Great Karmapas with a cultivation base at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and ranked 24th on the Supreme Saint Ranking had died!

Apart from that, the six sectless cultivators from Sin City whose strength was comparable or even superior to Wei Suo had also died.

That was not the end of it. The Sect Leader of the Forgotten Dust Sect who had just broken through to the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage not too long ago had also died after he entered the pseudo realm. What a waste! He did not even have time to display his newly obtained strength!

Indeed. It was a pity and a waste that those people had died there.

The people waiting outside did not have to wait too long when one of the elders from the Thousand Years Alliance rushed there from Sin City with news.

“The Soul Pearls of our leader and deputy leaders have shattered!”

In just a blink of an eye, the expressions of Young Leader Dong Guo Zhi and the people he led from the Thousand Years Alliance changed immediately.

Many people were reluctant to believe it.

However, everyone turned deadly pale when they heard the elder from the Thousand Years Alliance who traveled from Sin City listed the names of the other elders whose Soul Pearls had also shattered. This was because the names of the people he listed were all people who had entered the treasure vault that was suspected to have been left behind by an Eminent Celestials! All of these people were cultivators above the Fourth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and were the backbone of the Thousand Years Alliance! All of them were dead! Not only that, but even the leader and deputy leaders of the Thousand Years Alliance were dead.

“Impossible… It’s impossible! Impossible!” Dong Guo Zhi growled in a low voice as he kept shaking his head in denial.

His face was deathly pale. “No, there must be a mistake! My father’s the leader of the Thousand Years Alliance. He’s a powerhouse at the Sixth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who’s ranked 51st on the Supreme Saint Ranking… How could he possibly die just like that?!” Dong Guo Zhi refused to believe it.

“Stay strong, young leader.” Although the other Thousand Years Alliance’s elders were reluctant to believe it as well, judging from the current situation, it was useless for them to be in denial.

The facts were laid out before them, there was no way they could not believe it!

Young Leader Ou Qing from the Seven Kill Alliance discovered what had happened to the members of the Thousand Years Alliance. When he found out that the people from Thousand Years Alliance had died in the treasure vault that was suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial, he could not help but take pleasure in their misery. He laughed out loud.

Ou Qing seized this chance to taunt them. “So the people from the Thousand Years Alliance are all useless!”

It was only natural that Ou Qing’s words angered those from the Thousand Years Alliance.

As the people from the Thousand Years Alliance glared at Ou Qing, two figures arrived hastily from Sin City. This time, it was two elders from the Seven Kill Alliance.

“Lord Leader’s Soul Pearl has shattered!” The news those Seven Kill Alliance’s elders brought wiped the mocking smile off Ou Qing’s face. Soon after, he became as mad as Dong Guo Zhi. He could not accept this. He was far more dependent on his father than Dong Guo Zhi was! It was not a stretch to say that he was nothing without his father!

“Moreover, the deputy leaders and some of the elders…” As the two elders from Seven Kill Alliance listed names, the faces of Ou Qing and the elders blanched. Ou Qing had an anguished expression on his face.

“Is the treasure vault really that terrifying? Even the leader of our Seven Kill Alliance died in there!” A lot of the Seven Kill Alliance questioned in shock. However, nobody had answers for them.

At this moment, people from the Thousand Years Alliance felt calmer when they learned that the people who had entered the pseudo realm had also died after entering it.

Naturally, although they felt calm, they still could not help but feel fear washing over them.

Was the treasure vault that was suspected to have been left behind by an Eminent Celestial really that dangerous?

Not only the leader of their Thousand Years Alliance had died, but even the leader of the Seven Kill Alliance had also died!

“The leaders of Seven Kill Alliance and the Thousand Years Alliance… They all died in there?”

“Then the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Imminent Celestial is really terrifying!”

Other people from the other alliances, people from the Black Kshetra Sect, and the people from the Forgotten Dust Sect were in shock and disbelief as well.

Put aside the others, the leaders of the Seven Kill Alliance and the Thousand Years Alliance were not ordinary people! The leader of the Seven Kill Alliance, Ou Cang Hai, was ranked in the top 50 on the Supreme Saint Ranking. As for the leader of the Thousand Years Alliance, he was ranked 51st on the Supreme Saint Ranking!

However, these two powerhouses had died in the treasure vault that was suspected to have been left behind by an Eminent Celestial!

Everyone was still in shock when a short-lived and piercing sound of wind whistling rang in the air.

Sou!

Before everyone could regain their senses, a gust of wind began to blow around them. It seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Everyone’s robes were fluttering in the air and they had to squint their eyes to see.

When they could finally see clearly, they saw a curvaceous figure dressed in purple had appeared before their eyes. Although the woman wore a purple dress, it was not a form-fitting dress. However, it still revealed her beautiful figure.

Her beautiful long hair cascaded down her shoulders and back. Although she had a purple veil covering half her face, her beauty could be seen through her delicate brows and bright eyes. She exuded a cold aura that made her seem imposing and unapproachable.

Although she has a devil-like figure with an angelic face, no one would dare to have inappropriate thoughts about her! “Lord Karmapa!”

Most people were still stunned at the purple-clad woman’s swift speed when people from the Black Kshetra Sect lowered their heads and bowed at her respectfully.

“Karmapa?”

Upon hearing how the people from Black Kshetra Sect addressed her, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

“She… Could she be the leader of the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas, the Violet Dragon King?”

“Violet…Violet Dragon King? The one who’s ranked tenth on the Supreme Saint Ranking? The powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage?”

“It should be!”

“I’ve long heard that the Violet Dragon King is the only female amongst the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas… Based on the Black Kshetra Sect’s people’s words, there’s no doubt she’s the Violet Dragon King.”

“I heard that the leader of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas, the Violet Dragon King, is a descendant of the dragon clan and the human race. She has amazing innate talent, and she’s also the youngest among the Four Great Karmapas.”

“The youngest but also the strongest. That’s why she’s widely acknowledged as the leader of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas!”

When the others discovered the identity of the purple-clad woman, all of them looked at her respectfully. They did not dare to look down on her just because she was a woman.

The Violet Dragon King spoke just as the atmosphere became tense due to her appearance.

“How did Wei Suo die?”

The moment the Violet Dragon King spoke, the expression of the people from Black Kshetra Sect changed dramatically. Their eyes widened in horror as they spoke in a trembling voice, “Karmapa… Karmapa Wei… H-he d-died?!”

Everyone paled again.

“Wei Suo? The Green Bat King of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas?”

“He… He’s dead?”

“He also entered the treasure vault that’s suspected to have been left behind by an Eminent Celestial, right? Goodness! Even he died?”

“Although Karmapa Wei was the weakest among the Four Great Karmapas, he was still at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage and was ranked 24th on the Supreme Saint Ranking… How did someone like that die?”

“If Karmapa Wei also died in there… Is it possible for the others to survive?”

Upon learning that, the people from the other alliances changed their expressions dramatically as they realized their leaders and deputy leaders were most likely dead as well!

The other factions also realized that their sect leaders and clan leaders were likely dead.

In just a blink of an eye, another short-lived and piercing sound rang in the air as the wind blew violently.

Sou!

Apart from the leader of the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas, the Violet Dragon King, who remained unaffected, everyone else had to squint their eyes as the wind raged.

This scene was familiar to when the Violet Dragon King had arrived.

When the others could see clearly, they saw a tall and handsome young man clad in green before their eyes. He exuded a piercing aura as though he was not human but a blade.

The young man’s long hair was tied in a ponytail with a hair tie. His hair hung behind him, and he carried a sheathed saber on his back. The sheath looked plain. However, the engravings on the sheath emitted an ancient aura as though it had existed for a very long time.

After seeing the newcomer, many sectless cultivators seemed to recall something as they spoke in trembling voices. Many of them had an expression of reverence on their faces.

“He’s… Pei… Lord Pei Si Hai!” An elderly sectless cultivator finally mustered enough courage and said excitedly.
