Chapter 196 Invitation to the Temple of War
With a crisp sound of closing the door, the door of the hall slammed shut, blocking out all sounds from the outside world and seeming to lock the doors of everyone's hearts as well.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes all focused on Yin Wuqing and Long Qianshan, searching for clues to the answer.
Long Qianshan slowly stood up and looked around. His deep voice echoed in the empty hall: "Everyone, I have called you all together today because I have something important to discuss."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence, and everyone's face was filled with solemnity and expectation.
Long Qianshan took a deep breath, as if to calm his inner turmoil, then turned around and took out an invitation embroidered with a strange pattern from behind. The invitation glowed faintly under the dim candlelight, adding a bit of mystery.
"This matter is of great importance and requires our joint response."
Although Long Qianshan's words were light, they struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, foreshadowing that the upcoming challenges would be extremely difficult.
Everyone present held their breath, preparing to face the unknown storm.
In the night sky, a few meteor-like lights quietly streaked across the sky, revealing an extraordinary atmosphere.
Shangguan Jiannan secretly breathed a sigh of relief not far away, glad that his previous worries did not come true.
However, what new things did the solemn atmosphere of the Tianjian Sect's top leaders indicate? "This is a formal invitation from the War God Temple."
Long Qianshan's low voice broke the silence, accompanied by a subtle buzzing sound from below, and his eyes instantly became deep and solemn.
"Temple of War God? Invitation?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.
War God Temple, why does such a happy event need to be so solemn? Whispers spread quietly in the venue like drizzle in the breeze.
"What good news is coming from the Temple of War God?" Everyone's mind was filled with questions.
Suddenly, Long Qianshan raised his voice, like the morning bell and evening drum, and all the sounds stopped in an instant.
"Everyone, if it weren't for something serious, I would never disturb you all to gather here."
There was a subtle nervousness in his tone, "This matter concerns the reshuffle of the power of the sects of our Apocalypse Dynasty."
Then, Long Qianshan's words were trembling: "Guo Songyang, the leader of the War God Temple, has broken through to the Sword Sect. He has sent us an invitation to attend the ceremony and witness this historic moment."
"Sword Sect Realm? This..." The venue suddenly exploded with exclamations and questions coming one after another.
Several elders were so shocked that they almost jumped up, staring at Long Qianshan in disbelief.
The entire venue seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The air was filled with depression and shock, almost suffocating.
This news, like a bolt from the blue, shocked everyone's heart.
"Master, is this news... reliable?" Mo Tiancheng, the old man, had wrinkles on his face that seemed to become even deeper at this moment. He asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness about the unknown.
There seemed to be a subtle tremor in the air. I turned to look at Long Qianshan, my eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
"Sword Sect Realm? In these hundreds of years, has there ever been a strong man who can reach that legendary realm!" Before he finished speaking, everyone's eyes were focused on him at the same time, with the same curiosity and desire for verification flashing in their eyes.
In the Apocalypse Dynasty, even the most powerful people in this land, such as Long Qianshan, Yin Wuqing, Guo Cheng, etc., mostly stopped at the level of Nine-Star Sword Emperor, as if the door to the Sword Sect was forever out of reach.
Now, the leader of the War God Temple, Guo Songyang, has actually announced the shocking news of breaking through the Sword Sect Realm! If this news is true, it will undoubtedly trigger an unprecedented storm. The structure of the ten major sects and even the entire Apocalypse Dynasty will be completely overturned, and a reshuffle of power is inevitable.
A strong man at the Sword Sect level has the power to shake the heavens and the earth, and destroying a sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect is just a piece of cake.
Thinking of this, the hall suddenly fell into silence, and everyone knew in their hearts how horrible and shocking that would be.
"I hope it's just a rumor."
Long Qianshan sighed inwardly, but his voice sounded unusually heavy.
He slowly took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to the elder beside him.
The invitation card was written in vigorous and powerful handwriting: "Fortunately, I have realized the truth. Ten days later, I will go to the top of Taixu Mountain and sincerely invite you to witness it together."
At the signature point, the three words "Guo Songyang" are clearly visible.
The material of the invitation is extraordinary, with a faint luster, showing its extraordinaryness.
Everyone took turns reading it, and their doubts gradually dissipated.
Such a solemn invitation is definitely not a joke.
Moreover, Guo Songyang had been in seclusion for three years, and this time he came out with such astonishing achievements, how could people not be convinced? Fear spread quietly in the hearts of the elders like an undercurrent.
The hall, which was already solemn to begin with, was now shrouded in an invisible pressure, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it was suffocating.
Everyone knows that the Apocalypse Dynasty is about to face an unprecedented turmoil.
"Master, facing this change, how should we respond?" Finally, someone broke the silence, with worry that was hard to conceal in his voice.
Yes, if Guo Songyang has really entered the realm of the Sword Sect, who in the entire Tianqi Dynasty can compete with him? Long Qianshan sighed lightly, his eyes firm: "Now that the invitation has arrived, the trip to Taixu Mountain in ten days is imperative.
Whatever the future holds, we must witness this historic moment with our own eyes.”
Although there was reluctance in his tone, it also revealed a kind of determination out of helplessness.
The future of the Apocalypse Dynasty may be quietly rewritten during this ceremony.
At that moment, the air seemed to be filled with a heavy sense of vicissitudes, as if even time had stopped.
"The realm of the Sword Sect cannot be reached without great perseverance and wisdom."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and secretly agreed.
Among the ten vast sects, there are countless strong men at the peak of the Sword Emperor level, like stars in the sky. However, the legendary Sword Sect realm is like the farthest star in the night sky, so far away that no one has ever touched its threshold.
"Yeah, don't jump to conclusions yet. Maybe it was just a false alarm."
Someone suggested, with a barely perceptible hint of relief in his tone.
Then, a few low exclamations were heard all around, and the face that had originally turned pale due to nervousness gradually regained some vitality, although there was still a hint of reluctance hidden behind the smile.
Once such news is leaked, it will surely cause a huge uproar and cause panic among the people.
So, Long Qianshan stepped forward at the right time and warned everyone with a serious look: "This matter is of great importance. You must keep your mouth shut to avoid causing unnecessary panic." When everyone heard this, their expressions froze and they nodded solemnly in agreement. They naturally understood the interests involved.
