85: He was one of the dynasty's greatest assets! The Sword Inquiry Sect was destroyed, and its treasure trove emptied!!

Facing this Old Eunuch, who looked completely on his last legs, Xie Tianjian's face was full of respect.

The one relied upon to annihilate the Wenjian Sect this time was not him, Xie Tianjian!

It was this Old Eunuch!

No matter what trump cards the Wenjian Sect had, as long as this Old Eunuch was here, they could all be suppressed!

He was one of the Imperial Dynasty's foundations!

Meanwhile, the Withered Old Man on the other side frowned. He actually sensed a Death Qi emanating from the Old Eunuch!

This was something only truly dying people possessed!

Yet, this very dying person gave him another feeling: the gaze of death!

This person had already become a fatal threat to him!

"Hmph, a dying Old Eunuch, riddled with Death Qi. With this time, he doesn't know to hide and enjoy his remaining life."

"And he dares to come to my Wenjian Sect. With our Old Ancestor here, today I'll send you on your way early!"

Li Wangdian didn't realize that his Old Ancestor's eyes at this moment seemed capable of devouring people.

Both the Withered Old Man and the Old Eunuch were powerful experts who had stepped into the Soul Palace Realm!

They could sense each other's Qi, and a Divine Profound Realm expert was completely incapable of dictating to them!

Even if the Primordial Spirits in their Soul Palaces were both at the final stages of decay and death, it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

The Old Eunuch held an exquisite silk handkerchief and glanced indifferently at the Withered Old Man.

"With such an unworthy Disciple in the Wenjian Sect, it's no wonder it's destined to perish today."

"Since you're reluctant to act, then let This Eunuch help you out."

Whoosh... The Old Eunuch's words made the Withered Old Man frown, but he strangely didn't refuse aloud.

The Old Eunuch waved his right hand, and the silk handkerchief in his hand suddenly transformed into a stream of light, instantly changing into a vast embroidered scroll!

On the golden, shimmering silk handkerchief, mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts cried out in unison, and a five-clawed golden Dragon roared, carrying a power that shook heaven and earth!

This was the power of the Emperor's Dao!

"Old Ancestor, save me!!!"

Watching the massive silk handkerchief descend, Li Wangdian screamed in terror.

But it was already too late!

Within arm's reach, a thousand zhang was compressed into a mere square inch!

Li Wangdian was instantly enveloped by the silk handkerchief and disappeared without a trace.

Mysterious and unfathomable methods!

Terrifying power!

Xie Tianjian had lived for nearly a hundred years and was well-traveled and knowledgeable, yet he had never seen such methods!

They say eunuchs' attacks are sinister, vicious, and as eerie as ghosts!

That was absolutely correct!

Today, he had truly gained insight.

"Your Excellency, with such methods, have you asked if this Old Man agrees or not?"

The Withered Old Man looked at the Old Eunuch indifferently, seemingly with a hint of accusation.

The Wenjian Sect was, after all, his Sect. He had lingered for hundreds of years, surviving to leave behind a foundation for the Wenjian Sect.

An unworthy Disciple deserved to die, but it wasn't for others to kill as they pleased!

The reason he didn't stop it just now wasn't that he didn't want to, but because the Imperial Dragon Qi contained within that silk handkerchief was too strong!

This Old Eunuch must have once served a powerful Emperor to be bestowed with such a terrifying treasure.

"You and I have both lived for hundreds of years. How many more years do we have left to live?"

"Whether you agree or not, you cannot stop This Eunuch."

"The Wenjian Sect has stood for countless years, enduring Imperial Dynasty changes, and could have continued to exist."

"Unfortunately, since it chose to go against my Great Qi Dynasty, it should be prepared for its destruction."

"What do you say?"

What a domineering Old Eunuch!

Not only were his methods vicious, but after killing someone, he still had to twist the knife!

Xie Tianjian, however, had no objections to the Old Eunuch's methods.

After all, the Old Eunuch was sent by the Empress, and his purpose in living was for this very moment.

In those days, the Grand Ancestor established the Thousand-Year Pavilion, seemingly for these dying Old Eunuchs to retire.

In reality, it was to seal their life force and await an opportunity.

Either they would gain a fortuitous encounter and advance further.

Or, at the last moment of their lives, they would exert their strength for the Great Qi Dynasty.

The Withered Old Man's eyes glowed with divine light, and he nodded faintly.

"Very well, since there is no choice, then let fate decide!"

Buzz!!!

A clear Sword cry echoed between heaven and earth!

In the sky, a bright long river appeared, obscuring the sun's radiance!

The sky suddenly darkened, and only that long river, seemingly existing since ancient times, burst forth with brilliant light!

"Enter my Sword River, life and death are up to fate!"

As the Withered Old Man's voice fell, his figure transformed into a stream of light and entered the endless long river!

Within the long river, Sword Qi condensed, like a world constructed of countless Sword Qi.

Sword Qi surged, Sword Intent churned; it appeared calm, but in reality, it contained the power to destroy heaven and earth!

"Eunuch Wei!"

Xie Tianjian looked at the Old Eunuch, somewhat worried.

However, the Old Eunuch, surnamed Wei, glanced at him, and his withered old face twitched slightly, his skin already shriveled and stiff, making it unclear if he was crying or laughing.

"Go!"

"With This Eunuch here, the Wenjian Sect shall be destroyed."

"Later, This Eunuch will personally go to meet Your Majesty."

As the Old Eunuch's words fell, his figure disappeared into thin air.

He had already entered the Sword River!

That Sword River was activated by the Withered Old Man's Primordial Spirit, with Sword Intent fused with the entire Wenjian Sect, constructed from countless years of Sword Qi!

This was a Domain that only Soul Palace Realm masters could enter!

Without entering the Soul Palace, one couldn't even glimpse it!

Even a powerful expert like Xie Tianjian was no exception!

Li Wangdian died silently, which was also his own doing.

The Wenjian Sect's nine Sword Peaks had now all collapsed, and the Azure Dragon Mountain Wenjian Sect, once like a fairyland, had almost become a ruin.

Xie Tianjian left no chance for these Wenjian Sect Disciples, including the nine Peak Masters, all of whom perished in this battle!

The experts of the Great Qi Dynasty also suffered considerable losses, but compared to the Wenjian Sect, they returned victorious!

From sunrise to sunset, and then to the initial rise of the scorching sun, when all things were full of vitality.

The Sword River suspended in the sky finally disappeared!

The Sword River shattered into pieces, truly and completely destroyed.

The Withered Old Man did not return, and the Old Eunuch appeared briefly before leaving directly.

"Chief Director, the Wenjian Sect's treasury has been discovered!"

Qin Zhanfeng excitedly came to report.

Given the Wenjian Sect's long history, spanning countless years, its Sect foundation was profound!

It must contain unimaginable resources!

Beneath the nine Sword Peaks, there was a vast space, which was precisely the Wenjian Sect's treasury!

"Take it all back; no one is allowed to embezzle it privately!"

"After reporting to Your Majesty, there will naturally be rewards!"

After Xie Tianjian finished speaking, he transformed into a stream of light and returned to the Imperial City to report.

The remaining matters, of course, were left to the experts of the Three Departments; he didn't need to do it personally.

Qin Zhanfeng bowed respectfully, then turned and shouted.

"Quickly clean up and return to the Imperial City!!!"

"Yes!!!"

The Wenjian Sect occupied nine Sword Peaks, and beneath each Sword Peak were countless resources and treasures. One could imagine how splendid their Sect had been over these countless years!

If not for the Wenjian Sect provoking the Imperial Court, and if not for Ye Wuyang's secret machinations against Shen Tianxing, the Empress would not have found such a suitable opportunity to destroy the Wenjian Sect!

All of this was merely self-destruction!
