Chapter 98: Sword Mountain Ceases to Exist, Everyone Suspecting Gu Xi

When they rushed to Sword Mountain, they were completely dumbfounded when they saw the scene in front of them.

“This... This is Sword Mountain?”

In front of everyone was a stretch of ruins. Other than that, it was totally flat. Where did such a large mountain go?!

Sword Mountain was the highest mountain in the Capital. It was more than a hundred feet long and towered above the clouds. It was surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, adding a bit of mystery to it. It was easy for one to stand on the peak and pick the stars and the moon.

However, looking at the empty space in front of them, everyone could not believe that such a huge mountain had actually disappeared!

One had to know that Sword Mountain was not only made up of swords. Back then, in order to suppress these divine weapons, they had set up a powerful array formation. At the same time, they had also isolated themselves from the prying eyes of some people who were not on the right track. It was simply impossible for ordinary people to do anything against it.

This was set up by the Emperor. Even if the power of the array formation had weakened after a thousand years, it was still not something that the people of this world could break. Furthermore, the Divine Swords in the depths of Sword Mountain also had powerful spirituality. If someone attacked them, they would be able to retaliate.

Although Sword Mountain seemed peaceful and harmless, and the divine weapons were all asleep, its power was far beyond the imagination of the world.

“Sword Mountain actually collapsed. Where did the divine weapons go?!”

Everyone examined the ruins. Other than a little bit of spiritual energy that had yet to completely dissipate, not even a shadow could be seen, much less a sword. All of them had vanished without a trace.

The expressions of the various major sects in Capital were extremely unsightly. Although Sword Mountain was not their private property, it was one of the most famous symbols of the Capital.

Anyone who was fated could come to the Sword Mountain. Even though most of the weapons on the Sword Mountain had fallen into a deep sleep, it could not be ruled out that a small number could be awakened, or that the Spirit Weapon recognized its master because of the opportunity.

Therefore, to them, Sword Mountain was also a place for their disciples to train

Especially the people in the imperial family. Their faces were extremely gloomy. This was established by the Emperor and represented the once glorious imperial power. To the people of the imperial family, it had an extraordinary meaning. Even if the imperial power was now declining, their dignity could not be violated by others.

No matter what, the collapse of Sword Mountain and the disappearance of the divine weapons was a great loss to them.

“Investigate! We must find out who did this. They actually have the courage to do something right under our noses.”

“Could it be those people from the Demon Region? Only they can possess such unfathomable methods. Moreover, I heard that they have recently been quite active in the Capital.”

“That’s possible. However, when did the Demon Region become so powerful? If they had such strength, they would probably have started a war long ago. There’s no need to hide it.”

Everyone discussed animatedly. In contrast, the leaders of the super sects at the front did not say anything.

“It’s late at night. Princess, please go back and rest early. Leave the matters here to us.”

The people of the major sects were very polite and respectful, and Green Lotus Princess did not reject their good intentions. “Then I’ll have to rely on you all.”

After the miscellaneous people had all left, the major sects of the Capital worked together to set up a formation, strictly forbidding outsiders from approaching.

“Elder Wu, who do you think did this? Could it really be those people from the Demon Region?”

The person called Elder Wu looked very calm and peaceful, but the aura he emitted was incomparably powerful. He said resolutely and decisively, “It can’t be those people from the Demon Region. They don’t have the ability.”

“Then who has the ability?”

For a moment, everyone fell into silence.

Someone said faintly, “I don’t know if you still remember the phenomenon of the Return of 10,000 Swords to the Sect in the weapon refining competition.”

Hearing him mention it, Gu Xi’s name appeared in everyone’s minds at the same time. These two words had been in the limelight in the Capital recently. Wherever they went, they could hear people talking about Gu Xi.

The others instantly understood what he meant. “Are you suspecting Gu Xi?”

“He was actually able to attract the swords of the Sword Mountain to move together. It’s not surprising that he could cause such a situation.”

“Sword Mountain hasn’t had any unusual movements for thousands of years. He was able to create such a huge commotion... I really can’t think of any other suspicious people.”

Even though they said this, not everyone believed it. “We’re talking about Sword Mountain. It had stood tall for thousands of years. Can Gu Xi have such a huge impact just by himself?!”

“I admit that this kid is not ordinary. He definitely has secrets that we don’t know about. However, isn’t this a little too exaggerated?”

Could it be that after Gu Xi destroyed Sword Mountain, and all the divine swords were in his possession?

What everyone did not know was that the entire Sword Mountain had been extracted by Gu Xi a long time ago. Even the core, Inner Section was gone. Now, there was only an empty shell. In addition to the ten thousand swords, the Divine Swords had all been awakened. It was only a matter of time before they left.

Even if Sword Mountain did not collapse, it was only an empty shell.

However, they did not know the secret. According to the power and mystery of Sword Mountain, no one could shake it. Now, not only did Sword Mountain collapse, even the Divine Swords had disappeared without a trace.

However, Gu Xi had indeed caused a strong impact on Sword Mountain, causing the Divine Sword to resonate with it. Although everyone had their suspicions, they did not have any evidence. They could not just rely on suspicions to question Gu Xi. They simply could not hold their ground.

On the way back, the maid was deeply worried. “Princess, who do you think did this to Sword Mountain?”

Green Lotus Princess did not speak, but a figure appeared in her mind. With a calm expression, she said, “It doesn’t matter who it was. What’s important is that it has already become like this. I’m afraid that some people in the Capital won’t be able to sit still.”

Behind her, the Sect Masters and elders of the various major powers had unprecedentedly grave expressions on their faces.
