The news of this incident left everyone who heard it stunned.
Among the various sects, the Aperture Tempering realm practitioners were considered essential pillars, and losing one of them was a severe blow.
Inside Immortal Cloud City, some smaller sects might only have one or two Aperture Tempering realm practitioners. Losing one of them could jeopardize the survival of the entire sect.
Aperture Tempering realm cultivators held such power, and the dominance of the Immortal Cloud Sword Sect was not only due to their overall strength but also because they possessed two Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts.
With one person representing one sect, only a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator had the confidence and power to do so.
