At this thought, Elder Yellow Dragon suddenly widened his eyes and quickly turned his head.

"Heaven-Reaching, run! Blood Crane is one of the Dark Saint Venerable's men!"

Blood Crane, one of the four Supreme Elders, was also the third person to know about the masterless state of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. The Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable couldn't have told Zhan Bai, and he never leaked even a bit of information, leaving only one possibility, Blood Crane!

The Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable heard this shout, and with an incredulous look, gazed at Elder Blood Crane.

Elder Blood Crane, whose face initially showed worry, retracted his false expression after his identity was revealed, showing a cruel smile, while his eyes turned blood red.

"Blood Crane...you!"

Blood Crane, Yellow Dragon, both were brothers and companions who had walked with the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable through numerous life-and-death situations and countless hardships, yet now...

"Heaven-Reaching, blame yourself for being too complacent. Clearly holding the most powerful treasure and force in the whole universe, yet you choose to spend your days peacefully in a small corner instead of conquering and ruling."

Blood Crane's blood-red gaze coldly swept over the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, "I'm tired of such a boring life. War is the nature of all beings, and I want to return to the times when blood boiled with excitement!"

"Heaven-Reaching, you are my biggest obstacle, so I must eliminate you!"

Swoosh!

As soon as Elder Blood Crane finished speaking, the blood-colored Festival Sword in his hand struck forward fiercely, like a blood-red centipede, piercing through the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable's chest.

Severely injured, the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable couldn't even be suppressed by Elder Yellow Dragon, let alone withstand Blood Crane's sudden assault.

"Ugh..."

The life aura of the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable weakened rapidly, his gaze gradually lost its light, and finally, completely extinguished.

His large hand fell weakly, and the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, was dead!

"Pavilion Master!"

"Pavilion Master!"

"Pavilion Master!"

The Hall Masters of the Seventy-Two Halls and the disciples cried out in heart-wrenching anguish.

The two Supreme Elders beside Blood Crane acted at this moment too, enraged to the point of violating the charge of unity given by the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, swearing to cut down Blood Crane on the spot and avenge the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable.

"Poof!"

And at this time, the summoned Heaven-Reaching Tower pressed down upon Elder Yellow Dragon, leaving him with no power to resist, and turned him directly into dust.

This was the bleakest and darkest moment for the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

The Pavilion Master is dead, one of the four Supreme Elders is dead, another has betrayed.

Darkness descended, and shadows completely enveloped the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

"All disciples, heed my command! Retreat immediately!"

"Retreat! Execute the order; no hesitation is allowed, withdraw immediately!"

"Hurry! Evacuate now!"

The two Supreme Elders who realized this shouted.

Without the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion was no match for the Dark Holy Banquet with the Dark Saint Venerable.

The Dark Saint Venerable alone, wielding the Heaven-Reaching Tower, could completely annihilate all of them!

"Wang Xu, retreat quickly! Leave immediately!"

Fen You's extremely urgent voice sounded in Wang Xu's mind.

Wang Xu's face was grim; he understood that the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion had lost this time, and lost utterly.

Moreover, it's not just the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion; all forces resisting the Dark Holy Banquet would face devastating blows.

"Tai Long... and Tai Long, I must take the Sovereign and others away!"

Wang Xu said anxiously, "Fen You, you definitely have a way to let us leave, right?"

"There is a way, but it's impossible to save the Tai Long Cosmic Country, and as for Lei Fan and Lu Chen, I'm powerless."

Fen You's voice was terrifyingly heavy, "The Dark Saint Venerable, having acquired the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, is equivalent to obtaining the entire Ancient Luo Cosmos. I can at most only take you away..."

"Get the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion? What does it mean to get the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion?" Wang Xu was startled.

"Wang Xu, don't you understand yet? From start to finish, the Dark Saint Venerable's goal was only the Heaven-Reaching Tower in his hands!"

Fen You shouted, "This Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos is not the inner universe of the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, but that of the Heaven-Reaching Tower!"

What?!

Wang Xu abruptly raised his head, and when he saw the dead Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable, he finally understood what Fen You meant.

The Saint Venerable is dead, and the inner universe would inevitably collapse with it.

But with the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable dead, the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion showed no signs of destruction at all, clearly indicating that this Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos was not the possession of the Heaven-Reaching Saint Venerable!

"With the Dark Saint Venerable acquiring the Heaven-Reaching Tower, it means obtaining the entire Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. With two inner universes, he will become incomparably powerful, and no one in the Ancient Luo Cosmos, not even Qu Yao of old, can rival him!"

Fen You urged, "Quick! We must leave the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion immediately!"

Wang Xu dared not hesitate any longer; the seventy-two Golden Swords beneath his feet were about to carry him into the time-space storm. Only by passing through the void crack could he swiftly leave the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

"Wang Xu, do you want to leave?"

Suddenly, a voice that made Wang Xu's hairs stand on end seeped into his mind.

He couldn't move!

Wang Xu's entire body was like before, frozen in the air, unable to move.

Then, his body uncontrollably flew backward, landing in front of Zhan Bai.

"And you all, don't think of leaving."

Zhan Bai waved his hand, and aside from the two Supreme Elders, everyone else was frozen like blocks of ice, motionless, as the world turned incredibly silent.

Zhan Bai's eyes returned to Wang Xu, glinting with a cold light.

"Just now, when you slaughtered my Dark Holy Banquet's people, it was clearly imprinted in my eyes. If I let you go, how would I face the disciples of my Dark Holy Banquet who died?"
