The Lv Teng Villa was blood-washed, all treasures of the appraising conference had been robbed, and that wasn't all. Nearly all the cultivators present had perished, including the three members of the Bai Lingzhong family, the owner of the Anhe trading company, and those dozens of cultivator guards.
According to the few surviving witnesses, those were infamous sea pirates who had swooped in with a loud whoop and left with a swashbuckling flair. They acted meticulously with precise timing, mercilessly ruthless, and slaughtered without compassion—a profound embodiment of pirate style.
In front of these murderers, the Guest Elders had no chance to resist, they were no longer fighting out of duty but for their very lives. Even so, very few survived.
All the major figures didn't escape, they were wiped out entirely.
