"...Have you heard? Divine Venerable Hong Qi from the Martial God Sect and Divine Venerable Hong Jie from the Yulan Divine Palace... they're both dead!"
"Really? Those are top-level Divine Venerables! They preside over regions, impervious to all arts!"
"It's absolutely true! Just last night! It's said that they fell silently in their own core cave residences, without the Guardian Array being triggered, and their Guardian Divine Beasts were completely unaware!"
"The manner of death was extremely bizarre... The news that spread said Divine Venerable Hong Qi was sitting as usual, yet his Soul Lamp extinguished in an instant, with no signs of struggle or battle; Divine Venerable Hong Jie's laws around him were as stagnant as an iron plate, his vitality wiped out as if by thin air, and the Concentrating Incense beside his jade couch was only half burned..."
"Who? Who could possess such astonishing means? Killing two Divine Venerables, it's practically tearing a hole in the heavens!"
