"This, this is—"

Hou Gu was dumbfounded.

"How could the sword mark guarding the Sword Pavilion have suddenly disappeared?!"

Shen Jiantian's expression froze.

"The sword mark is a projection of the Heart-Piercing Sword. The disappearance of the sword mark means... someone has gained the Heart-Piercing Sword's approval."

Shen Jiantian spoke without any emotion or fluctuation.

He felt his soul had drifted away, leaving only the shell of a sect leader, numbly answering questions to maintain the sect leader's dignity.

"this……"

Hou Gu's face also turned extremely ugly.

The position of sect leader for sixty years!

Just like that, it vanished?!

Hou Gu forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"Oh, that's wonderful news!"

"yes!"

Shen Jiantian's smile was even more fake than his.

"After the Heart-Piercing Sword recognizes its master, the Sword Pavilion will collapse, which may cause panic. Let's hurry over and appease the disciples."

Who is it?!

Who stole his opportunity?

Who is it!

Shen Jiantian desperately wanted to find this person.

He snapped back to his senses and looked intently at the Sword Tomb.

Hou Gu shrank his neck.

"good……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shenjian Tian vanished from his sight.

Sword Tomb.

"boom--"

A loud bang came from Jian Ge.

Above the Sword Pavilion, the sword mark, which resembled a faith, flickered once, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared instantly.

Upon seeing this, some groans of anguish rang out from among the disciples.

But Jian Ge ignored these cries of anguish and resolutely began to sink.

Under the watchful eyes of countless disciples.

Jiange sank into the ground and disappeared completely!

Chen Tianwen watched this scene with the same shock as the other disciples.

Jian Ge!

It's really closed!

No one will ever have the chance to learn the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique again!

Except for yourself!

Thinking of this, Chen Tianwen quickly looked into his mind and saw that the Heart-Piercing Sword had already replaced the golden sword mark.

Chen Tianwen certainly dared not test his sword again.

His face showed a mixture of fear and resentment.

His expression blended perfectly with that of the other menial disciples. No one paid him any attention, and no one doubted him. After all, he was just a menial disciple at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and Xu Xinrou's slave.

"Why! Why! I was so close to mastering the Heart-Piercing Sword Technique! Why!"

Song Shixing frantically stabbed the ground with his sword.

He hasn't used up his ninety hours yet!

He risked his life for this opportunity!

"Timely!"

Two streaks of light descended, revealing Divine Sword Heaven and Marquis Valley.

Song Shixing seemed not to hear, continuing to stab the ground, his eyes bloodshot. Hou Gu sighed, knocked him unconscious, and had the other disciples take him away.

When the surrounding disciples saw Shen Jiantian arrive, they all bowed to him.

Shen Jiantian waved his hand, his expression incredibly kind.

"Who has subdued the Heart-Slaying Sword?"

The disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Reporting to the sect master, we also do not know."

They were so preoccupied with the sorrow of the Sword Pavilion's closure that they had no idea who had subdued the Heart-Slaying Sword.

When asked by the sect leader, they all suddenly realized what was going on.

Who is so powerful?!

They also cultivate in the Sword Pavilion, but if they asked themselves honestly, they had not even comprehended the meaning of the three words "Heart-Slaying Sword".

"Who is it?"

The smile on Shen Jiantian's face froze again, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

This person is very good at hiding their true intentions!

They stole my opportunity, yet dared not show their faces—what cowards!

With nowhere to vent his anger, Shen Jiantian turned cold and tried to leave.

"Sect Master, I have urgent news to report!"

At this moment, Leng Chen stepped forward.

After much deliberation, he still felt that Xia Anyu had acted too domineeringly. After inquiring around and finding out that she was not there, he wanted to complain to the sect leader.

"A few days ago, in the Sword Tomb, three disciples murdered two core disciples of their own sect. We request the sect leader to make a decision!"

Leng Chen's expression was cold and stern. He then pulled out two disciples, who were the Daoist couple!

The two looked utterly desperate.

Unexpectedly, Leng Chen showed no respect for Elder Xia and, disregarding the appropriateness of the situation, exposed the matter in public.

They didn't even have time to find Elder Xia.

Moreover, if the sect leader believes Leng Chen's words and sentences them, even if Elder Xia comes, he will be powerless to turn the tide!

"These are two of the disciples. There is another disciple who is very powerful. He wears a white mask and is timid and hesitant, not daring to show his true face. When the Sword Pavilion first opened, he hid and chose to enter the Sword Pavilion late at night. His token has a total of one hundred and fifty sword marks on it!"

Leng Chen said indignantly.

Shen Jiantian's expression turned somewhat strange, and then he exchanged a glance with Hou Gu.

He is incredibly powerful and wears a white mask.

Could it be... Jun Wu?

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Shen Jiantian's forehead.

Leng Chen did not notice the change in Shen Jiantian's expression, and continued to speak passionately.

"One hundred and fifty sword imprints! On the day the Sword Pavilion opened, I had only accumulated one hundred sword imprints. He must have obtained them by harming other fellow disciples! Sect Master, such a cruel person is an immense threat to our Divine Sword Sect as long as he exists!"

"Wait, you're saying he entered the Sword Pavilion the night it opened?"

Shen Jiantian frowned and asked.

"Yes! He must have stolen the tokens from the other junior brothers to acquire 150 sword imprints in such a short time, Sect Master—"

Leng Chen continued.
