Chapter 578: The Great Battle
Five days later, at the Lingxiao Upper Sect.
The continuous mountain ranges traced their undulating silhouette in the gathering dusk, clouds and mist coiling through the peaks.
Within the Lingxiao main hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it seemed as though it might drip.
The flame of the ever-burning lamp swayed faintly on its bronze stand, casting the faces of those in the hall in shifting light and shadow.
At the head of the hall, the three Elder Patriarchs of the Lingxiao Upper Sect sat side by side.
The foremost, a white-haired elder named Chu Huai'an, was the highest in seniority among the Lingxiao Upper Sect's reclusive elders, his cultivation long since having reached the peak of the Eighth Revolution. At his sides sat Fu Yuanshan and Meng Qiuhong, both of them the Lingxiao Upper Sect's long-hidden reserves of strength. Both of their auras were deep and vast as an ocean, yet at this moment both wore expressions of the utmost gravity.
Duanmu Hua sat directly below the three Elder Patriarchs.
At his sides were Gu Xinghe and Xiao Yuanheng.
In the guest seats on the left, Li Yujun's expression was as still as calm water, yet deep in her eyes a trace of quiet worry lay concealed.
