"I don't know what's going on either,” sighed Chu Qi-Tian.
Somehow, their sect leader didn't seem particular enthusiastic about dealing with Ye Fan. In fact, Chu Qi-Tian couldn't help but feel that their sect leader was trying to protect Ye Fan.
Yet, when it had come to stabbing Ye Fan in the chest, she had been the one who had done it.
"She probably thinks him a nobody who's beneath her notice and didn't want to waste her time with him. That's why she wasn't eager to deal with him at all." Chu Qi-Tian thought privately.
"Alright, the funeral's starting soon. Let's make our way there now."
They chatted amongst themselves for a short while before the funeral proceedings finally commenced. Chu Qi-Tian and the others stepped forward and paid their final respects to the dead.
The chief elder of Chu Sect then delivered
a eulogy.
The sect leader, Tang Yun, did not attend the funeral.
No one was surprised by her absence.
After all, she was hardly ever around and rarely made an appearance unless an extremely important occasion or event required her presence.
"Dear all, today is a sad day for Chu Sect, because today, Chu Sect lost..."
Onstage, a stern looking old man dressed in a sharp suit began his eulogy in a strong yet sorrowful voice.
He had barely begun his eulogy when the doors to the hall were pushed open suddenly.
A pair of hands, drenched in blood, reached into the hall.
Everyone watched as a man who was heavily injured gathered whatever remained of his strength and yelled at
everyone in terror.
"Elders...it's an emergency! Someone's come to attack Chu Sect! They're going...to be here any moment!"
What?
The words of the man sent waves of shock rippling through the hall.
Everyone was dumbstruck.
Their eyes widened with alarm and shock.
"How is that possible? Who would dare to storm Chu Sect?"
They simply couldn't believe it.
Chu Sect was the one who invaded other lands and stormed the martial arts circles of other nations.
But now, someone had decided to storm the most powerful martial arts sect in the world.
In fact, they were going to charge into these very halls any moment.
There was an instant uproar.
The hall descended into utter chaos.
"There's impossible! That man must be lying. Chu Sect has a vast army of martial artists. We are invincible. Who would dare attack us? No one could have successfully breached our gates!"
The chief elder appeared composed as he tried to calm everyone down.
"Bring a few men with you and find out what's going on. If someone is indeed trying to cause trouble, kill him or her instantly. Cut off the troublemaker's head and bring it to us."
The chief elder issued his orders calmly, his firm and authoritative voice reverberating in the halls.
But before his men could carry out his orders, a loud explosion erupted in the hall. The doors had shattered into countless pieces.
Shards of metal and wood flew across the room.
A beautiful and unearthly figure appeared before the eyes of everyone and sent them reeling.
"Heavens!"
