Rushing in, breathing heavily, the two disciples dropped to their knees on the high platform, gasping as they faced Ru Yan Wu Ji.
If Tan Yun had not been unconscious at this moment, he would definitely recognize the two, as they were the disciples guarding the Mountain Gate of the Eternal Immortal Sect!
One of the disciples, covered in sweat and appearing dazed, stammered, “Sovereign… the Eternal Divine Sword… it’s gone!”
“What did you say is gone?” Ru Yan Wu Ji frowned.
“Sovereign, the disciples said… the Eternal Divine Sword at the Mountain Gate has been stolen!” the disciple said, trembling in fear.
“What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight!” Ru Yan Wu Ji suddenly erupted in anger. He simply could not believe that the Eternal Divine Sword could be stolen!
First of all, the Eternal Divine Sword was several tens of thousands of feet tall, and even the ancestor master could not dispel the ancient binding spell on the sword to take it away. Who could carry such a massive sword away?
Secondly, the Eternal Divine Sword was protected by the Mysterious Eagle Annihilation Formation set by the ancestor master, a formation only known how to break by past sovereigns. Looking across the Heavenly Punishment Continent, few could break it!
Moreover, Ru Yan Wu Ji had another reason for disbelief: the Eternal Immortal Sect was currently at its peak. Who would dare to run to the Mountain Gate and steal the Eternal Divine Sword!
Thus, he did not believe it!
Not only did he not believe it, but the hundreds of elders and over two million disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect felt the same!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The disciple knocked his head against the ground repeatedly, crying out, “Sovereign, it’s absolutely true! The Eternal Divine Sword is really missing!”
Another disciple, shaking in fear, chimed in, “Sovereign, it really is missing!”
“If you two dare to joke with this sovereign, I will grind you to dust!” Ru Yan Wu Ji still did not believe it.
“Sovereign, we’ll accompany you there!” the hundreds of elders said solemnly in unison.
“Good!” Ru Yan Wu Ji said loudly.
Then, Ru Yan Wu Ji maneuvered the spirit vessel, carrying the hundreds of elders, swiftly heading towards the exit of the Eternal Secret Realm…
Dantai Xuanzhong frowned tightly as he maneuvered the spirit vessel, closely following the chief disciple of Huangfu Sacred Sect…
Zhuge Yu, holding Nangong Yuqin, maneuvered his spirit vessel and soared into the sky, flying away from the Eternal Creation Field…
After Ru Yan Wu Ji and the elders left, the over two million disciples in the Creation Field erupted into chaos:
“Everyone, do you think what those two said is true?”
“Is there even a need to say? It must be fake! The Eternal Divine Sword is the symbol of our Eternal Immortal Sect; who would dare to steal it across the entire continent!”
“That’s right! No matter if you believe it or not, I don’t believe it!”
“I don’t believe it either; I absolutely do not believe anyone would dare to provoke our Eternal Immortal Sect like this!”
“…”
Upon hearing this, the two standing on the high platform stood up, looking around at the disciples, shouting, “Everyone, we are telling the truth!”
“The Eternal Divine Sword is really missing! We clearly stayed at the Mountain Gate, yet we did not see anyone!”
“It must have been a strong person who came; our strength is too low to detect it…”
Five hours later, at the very beginning of the night, dusk fell.
In front of the Mountain Gate of the Eternal Immortal Sect, the wind howled.
“No… no!” As Ru Yan Wu Ji steered the spirit vessel out of the space-time gate, the moment he appeared above the Mountain Gate, he let out an enraged roar that echoed for miles.
In his view, the summit was empty, and the trace of the Eternal Divine Sword had completely vanished!
The Eternal Divine Sword had stood at the Mountain Gate for eight thousand years as the symbol of the Eternal Immortal Sect. Ru Yan Wu Ji had never thought that one day, it would be stolen!
