Chapter 640. The sky, slowly dyed in twilight, marked the end of the festival that had lasted seven days and nights.
Sssst...
If it weren’t for that red mist rolling in with the dusk, the city would still be celebrating.
The finals of the Dragon Phoenix Sword Dance would have been held, the crowd cheering for the victor, the Heavenly Martial Ranking announced, and the students and instructors of the Five Great Academies reflecting on the past year with tears and laughter.
Then, shocking results would have astonished the martial world, as unfamiliar names of rising stars became the new sacred legends.
If only that blood-red-eyed monster with scarlet hair hadn’t arrived here.
“This isn’t exactly a welcoming atmosphere, huh? I hurried over because I wanted to celebrate together,” the Black Night Demon Lord chuckled.
The Alliance of the Righteous Sect was as silent as mice.
The fierce gazes of the masters met the unexpected intruder like sharp blades.
“Because it felt wrong to come empty-handed, I brought a gift too.” As he grinned, the Black Night Demon Lord waved his hand, and the body part that the One Sword Dao was holding was hurled toward the Alliance of the Righteous Sect.
Whoosh!
The severed head flew in a curve, tumbling several times before landing at the feet of the Martial Alliance Leader at the front.
