728 Master Fell (1/2)

”He actually really died!”

On the Gantian Mountain Peak Heaven Worshipping Platform, Kong Rui was looking into the distant night sky.

Only to see that a blood glow flashed among the bright stars, many other stars became dimmer.

Normal people couldn't notice such changes, even Celestial and God Realm experts might not pick it up.

Kong Rui used the Wen King Copper Coin to see and thus he missed nothing out.

”Taoist Faction blood calamity...”

Although it was small, not enough to heavily affect them, this was the first time he had seen such a star scenery since he came into contact with divination.

”Imperial Astronomer Kong!”

Zong Ling's voice broke his thoughts. His tone was filled with awkwardness and anxiousness.

”It is already late, it is best if we return! Although those Daoling Vast Habitat people didn't attack us recently, they have many Spirit Realm experts. Who knows there might be some hiding within the city? It is best if we are more careful...”

If he wasn't worried about Zong Shou's safety, and if he didn't want to know about the situation there, then he wouldn't have allowed and followed Kong Rui over here.

This person was not only the Imperial Astronomer but also the Country Father in Law. He was also the Father of the Left Army Inspector Kong Yao who was currently in charge of the Gantian Mountain war arrangements.

If anything happened to him, how would he be able to answer?

However, Kong Rui shook his head.

”It is okay!”

He was still using the Wen King Copper Coin to look at the Heavens. He was fully focused.

”Their Master has fallen! It is already over...”

Zong Ling exclaimed, his eyes filled with confusion. Their Master had fallen? What did that mean?

Oh right, didn't Kong Rui mention that it referred to Wu Xu?

”Taoist Faction blood calamity, Wu Xu will die! At this moment, Daoling Vast Habitat can't even protect themselves so why would they have the strength to attack Donglin? They would probably retreat today!”

Kong Rui's words continued. However, Zong Ling's eyes were opened wide in total disbelief.

Taoist Faction blood calamity, Wu Xu will die? How is that possible?

However, looking at Kong Rui's expression he seemed to be serious.

He thought that it was either this Imperial Astronomer being crazy or this was the case.

He calmed down. Anyways he would find out about the outcome tomorrow.

The death of the Head of a Vast Habitat was such a huge matter and definitely couldn't be hidden.

※※※※

Within Daoling Vast Habitat, Wu Xu was still and standing on the spiritual formation.

A dozen of Taoists beside him all flashed and travelled through the air. After taking a look at Wu Xu they were all silent.

They were all people who had some status within the Vast Habitat. Wuji was also within. When he looked at Wu Xu, he couldn't help but sigh.

After he revived, the two of them had a sour relationship. However, when he looked at Wu Xu now fallen to such a state, he couldn't help but find it tragic and sad.

More and more Vast Habitat disciples crowded over. None of them got too close, just standing solemnly a thousand feet away. Most of them had a serious expression as they knelt on the ground. These were all junior disciples who had been given some help and kindness from Wu Xu.

A full ten breaths passed before a thread of sword energy surged out from his body.

It was just the remnant energy but one could imagine how strong and sharp that sword just now was.

Within a thousand feet, everything was covered in sword marks.

Wu Xu's face was ashen white, fresh blood seeped out from his lips.

After the sword was placed back into its sheath he laughed bitterly.

”I am sorry! Call back, Absolute Beginning, Blooming Cereus, three years...:

Everyone was stunned. He was sorry because he couldn't block that sword.

He wanted to call back all the Spirit Realm experts from Donglin.

As for Absolute Beginning, was that the Sword Intent that Zong Shou grasped?

Actually from the remnant sword energies, they could sense what it was.

However, what did this Blooming Cereus refer to? What did three years mean?

Everyone was really curious, just as they were about to speak up and ask, threads of sharp sword energy surged out from Wu Xu's body.

At the start there was very few, then there were thousands and millions of them which began to shoot out. Wu Xu's body instantly turned into dust and floated in the air.

The Vast Habitat was silent once more. No one spoke a word. Even Wu Xu's past rivals showed sadness in their eyes.

Xiao Xiangzi wished that he could roar out in anger to vent the disbelief and fury in his heart.

Qiuhua was dead, so was his Master Wu Xu. How did this happen? He was definitely dreaming...

His fists clenched tight as his fingernails stabbed into his flesh and bone. The stabbing pain reminded him that he was, in fact, not in a dream!

Instantly two streaks of blood tears flowed down. From today, on only one of Zong Shou and he can exist in this world!

Suddenly Xiao Xiangzi felt several cold gazes look over towards him.

He was shocked, lowered his head and looked over. His heart was totally cold, the chill of a dead person. His Master had just died and they were already ready to create problems for him?

He looked behind him at the tens of thousands of Vast Habitat cultivators, his face turning grey from defeat, his heart sank.

Xiao Xiangzi couldn't help but scoff. Most of the people here probably blamed his Master.
