Days have passed since the battle at Penglai ended.
Rather than subsiding, the internal discussions within the sect only grew more intense.
During this battle, Kunlun lost a total of seventeen cultivators, which might not seem like many.
But upon closer inquiry, it became clear that all the fallen were Nascent Soul Elders—clearly, the manipulators of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, after deploying a formation change that trapped the Kunlun cultivators, had specifically targeted the more profound Kunlun Elders for assassination.
Since the founding of Kunlun, aside from the majority of Nascent Soul Elders who had perished due to various reasons (mainly Heavenly Tribulation), the few who left to establish their own sects, and the very few who attained Feather Transformation to become immortals, there were altogether no more than three hundred left.
That seventeen of them perished in this Immortal Slaying Sword Formation caused a wave of grief throughout the entire sect.
