The grand hall was in utter chaos.
Martial artists were sprawled everywhere with blood staining their lips.
The sight had various important personalities who had been invited to the funeral reeling with shock and terror.
They were truly terrified that the funeral that they were attending might end up being their own.
"What's going on with Chu Sect?"
"Aren't they supposed to be the most powerful martial arts sect in the whole world?"
"How did their enemies manage to breach their defenses?"
"Are their guards all useless pieces of trash?”
Guests huddled in corners amidst the ruins of the hall, terrified and furious and hurling curses.
This was a complete disaster and they had nothing to do with it.
If they had known that this was going to happen, they would rather die than attend the funeral.
The chief elder of Chu Sect thought the same.
He glared furiously at the young woman before him.
"My Lady, a word of advice to you. If you do not wish to be hunted down by Chu Sect or slain by the sword of our sect leader, apologize immediately and leave right now. Otherwise, you'll be killed when our sect leader Tang Yun turns up!" thundered the old man.
This was the greatest insult that Chu Sect had ever suffered.
Since the sect had been founded, they had not suffered the humiliation of being stormed and beaten in their own home.
"Tang Yun? Well, she's the one I'm looking for. Get her to come out immediately!" The young woman's furious voice rang out, the chill in her voice as cold as the wintry winds.
The temperature in the hall plummeted sharply.
It was clear that this young woman harbored an intense, murderous hate towards Tang Yun.
"What? You...you're here for our sect leader?"
The chief elder had thought that the young woman might be cowed when he brought up Tang Yun and be frightened into a retreat.
But her reaction had been beyond his expectation.
The mention of Tang Yun's name had not cowed the woman but incited further murderous rage.
In fact, she had stormed Chu Sect for Tang Yun!
The young woman couldn't be bothered with the chief elder at all.
In her eyes, these masses of people were but ants.
She looked up and stared deep into the halls. Her frosty voice rang out once again.
"Tang Yun, come out and face me. Otherwise, I'll kill everyone on this mountain."
An icy, murderous rage erupted from the young woman and swept across the halls.
The young woman unsheathed her sword once again.
In a blink of an eye, a flaring light took the shape of a blade and slashed towards the elders of Chu Sect.
Everyone was certain that should the attack land, these elders would either be killed instantly or severely maimed.
"No!"
"Please, don't!"
"Sect Leader, save us!"
"Save us, Sect Leader!"
Wails of terror filled the air.
As despair colored the eyes of these men and women, a sudden streak of purple dashed across the heavens and collided with the young woman's blade.
A loud explosion erupted in the halls, sending winds howling and dust flying in the air as blades clashed.
The roof was ripped off the hall.
Then, everything stilled.
