Golden Sword Sect.
Sect Master Tie Xuan was lounging in his garden, tending plants. An ancient sword was sheathed on his back.
As he was caressing a flower, his retainer came rushing. " Sect Master! Sect Master!"
*SNAP!*
The flower was severed, as if a sharp knife slashed through its stem. Sect Master Tai turned around with mild annoyance, " How many times have I told you to not disturb me during my gardening hours?"
" This is the only time I sit down and contemplate. Yet even then you guys are just keeping to…"
" First Elder is dead." The retainer hurriedly spoke. Sect Master Tie Xuan's face froze when he heard that.
" Repeat that again?"
" Sect Master, the First Elder is dead!" The retainer informed with panic. " His soul talisman shattered! Along with him, the core disciple's soul talismans also shattered."
Sect Master Tie Xuan's face froze with coldness as he rushed to the main hall. The other elders were already there, the atmosphere was tense like a bowstring pulled.
