Second Realm, Sword Tower.
In the great hall where matters were deliberated, led by the Great Elder Jiang Ran, all the elders of Sword Tower had gathered together.
"Su Yue is dead."
Jiang Ran sat in the highest seat, a flash of grief in his eyes as he said, "The Golden Tripod I bestowed upon him has shattered, and his strand of Soul Fire has also been extinguished."
In the hall, the major elders, who usually argued endlessly, were uncharacteristically silent.
After a long while, Jiang Ran, with a somber face, inquired, "What about Chen Weihuang?"
"In seclusion, stabilizing his cultivation in the Extinction Realm," replied Wang Ce in a low voice.
Jiang Ran's expression darkened slightly as he asked, "When did he break through?"
"Just a few days ago."
