Chapter 514: Public Enemy
Of the remaining six first-rate forces, three were confirmed not to have immortal emperors by the Numinous Sword Sect. Although the Wavefold Sect didn’t have any immortal emperors, it was far from the weakest first-rate force. That distinguished reputation belonged to the Divine Pill Sect. Though, as alchemists, it wasn’t strange that the Divine Pill Sect was the weakest of the first-rate forces, but none of them dared to underestimate it. The dense network of connections made it so that no one would likely attack.
Well, except the Numinous Sword Sect.
Compared to when the Numinous Sword Sect destroyed the Myriad Saber Alliance, the destruction of the Wavefold Sect sent off bigger ripples through the Numinous Realm. The operation against the Myriad Saber Alliance could be said to be a clean knife. Only hours after it was over did people notice what happened, but the destruction of the Wavefold Sect was different. Once they were destroyed, everyone sensed it.
It was akin to a sun appearing on the ground. As soon as it happened, everyone in the world sensed it.
Monarch Solesword wanted to discover what happened, so he sent Ye Chen to scout it out. Among the many monarchs available, Ye Chen was a peak monarch, and he was skilled in both offense and movement techniques. He could escape if he was ambushed or trapped.
Ye Chen did not delay and immediately set off. The Twin Moon Sect and Void Ripple Sect were to the east of the Sword Continent, but the Wavefold Sect was to the Northwest, so he had to take nearly a week before arriving. And that was at his maximum speed without resting.
When he arrived, Ye Chen’s body couldn’t help but freeze. It was not because someone had imprisoned him with some esoteric method, but because of what he saw.
Although he had never visited the Wavefold Sect before, Ye Chen still knew what it looked like. But now, all that was left was a deep ravine, as if someone had taken a giant flaming sword and swung it, leaving behind only a slash mark. He could not feel a hint of sword intent, but anyone with a discerning eye would connect it with the Numinous Sword Sect.
Ye Chen didn’t stay for long and left. What was there to investigate? Everything was already destroyed. Without any remains, how could he derive any clues? The biggest clue was the remnant qi from whoever attacked, but he had already stored a portion and was prepared to leave.
