Crash!
Inside a secret room, the sound of a shattering glass suddenly rang out.
The item that was broken was not a mirror. It was a golden jade that was called a life jade. It was one of the rare items that indicated the status of the owner of the drop of blood that was inside it.
If the owner was still alive, nothing would happen. Naturally, it would break if the owner died.
From what had just happened, it was obvious that the owner of the drop of blood inside this life jade had died!
Bang!
Suddenly, the door was violently thrown open. An old man dressed in gold rushed into the room. His face showed anxiety and agitation.
The old man was nad Liu Xing. He was one of the elders in the Gold sect. He was in charge of the life jade room.
He was ditating in front of the room when he unexpectedly heard the sound. His face changed colour and he rushed into the room full of anxiety.
Not anyone in the Gold sect could drop his blood into the life jade.
The life jade was truly extrely valuable. Only the elders of the sect could drip their blood onto it and indicate whether they were dead or alive.
Even the geniuses of the sect could not do it. It was that valuable.
Imdiately after Liu Xing ca into the room, he looked at the luxurious shelves full of life jades. Then, he looked at the one that had shattered.
Suddenly, his eyes widened to the point that they almost popped out of their sockets. His body trembled harshly. His face showed both disbelief and surprise.
“I…Impossible!”
Liu Xing went quiet for so ti before he spoke with his hoarse voice.
He stared at the shattered life jade. He saw that it was labelled with the deputy sect lord, Jin Hu’s na!
“How did he die? He was a tertiary legendary cultivator who had almost gotten into the divine realm already! This is unreal,” Liu Xing muttered to himself. His face was pale.
Even though he talked like this, he knew full well that the life jade did not lie. It was not like he did not want to believe it. He just did not want it to be true.
Losing a deputy sect lord would cause a lot of changes. The Gold sect would definitely be weaker.
“I have to quickly report this to the lord. No, everyone has to know about this!”
Liu Xing sighed. He seed to be able to accept the truth now. His face grew dark. He flicked his sleeve and the pieces of the shattered life jade floated into his hand. Then, he hurriedly walked out of the room.
As for ‘everyone’, he did not an everyone in the sect, but every high-ranked elder.
.............................................
About an hour later, there were thirteen people sitting inside the hall. There were mostly old n and only a few middle-aged n.
Everyone was sitting on a jade chair of excellent quality, facing each other. The chair at the end of the table was the biggest one.
It was a middle-aged man with a dignified face who was sitting on that big chair. He dressed in gold. On his clothes, there was a phrase: ‘Under this sky, the Gold rises.’
There was so bright golden dust scattered around him. It was so faint that a lot of people would not have noticed it.
This middle-aged man swept his eyes around the room and stopped at Liu Xing.
“Sixth elder, what happened? Why did you suddenly call for a eting that hasn’t been held for fifty years like this?”
Liu Xing’s face did not look so well. He did not answer imdiately. He had been sitting here for a while, but had not told anyone about what happened just yet.
That was because he was waiting for the middle-aged man to initiate the discussion.
“Sixth elder, please tell us. Don’t keep it to yourself.” A middle-aged man who was sitting next to the biggest chair in the middle spoke. He was Zhang Xong, another deputy sect lord.
The rest of the eyes also fell on Liu Xing. Even though they did not say anything, their eyes asked for Liu Xing to start talking.
Liu Xing sighed before waving his hand slowly. Suddenly, a shattered life jade appeared and floated towards the middle-aged man in the middle.
“Jin Hu’s life jade!” The middle-aged man exclaid loudly. His facial expression changed drastically as if he just witnessed the crashing sky.
“How is this even possible? Lao Jin is dead?!?” Zhang Xong’s face changed colour. His empty sight fixed on the shattered jade.
“Sixth elder, what is this?” The old man who sat opposite Zhang Xong spoke. His face had obviously gotten darker.
Liu Xing looked the old man in the eye and sighed repeatedly. “As you see, you should know by now why I called for this eting. It was because deputy sect lord Jin Hu’s life jade is broken.”
“My lord!” The highest elder nad Zhen Kong trembled and swayed to the side a little when he heard what Liu Xing said. He, then, turned to look at the middle-aged man who had stood up just now.
It was obvious from his words that the middle-aged man who was standing in the middle was the lord of the Gold sect. He was a divine realm cultivator. He was also the man who was almost at the highest peak of Wu Zhou territory!
The other elders did not say anything. Yet, their faces showed the sa emotions. Their hearts sank to the ground after seeing the shattered life jade.
The lord was called ‘Huang Jin Fen’. He looked at the broken jade for a short while. His body trembled slightly before he sat back down. His face turned calm. He lowered his head as if he was thinking about sothing.
Then, he turned to Zhang Xong.
Zhang Xong made eye contact with him. His body also shook as if he’d just realised what had just happened not that long ago.
“D…Don’t tell the man who killed Jin Huang Tien also killed Lao Jin?!?” Zhang Xong’s lips trembled when he talked. His breath seed to be cut short for a little while.
