"You..." Envoy Xi did not expect this kind of situation, thus, he was speechless. According to his calculations, Ancestor Sumire should have conceded now that her sect is in dire situation. After all, with only one Divine Monarch, how could they survive the incoming assaults?

"What you?" Ancestor Sumire sneered and said, "I already gave you my answer. Scram now before I change my mind! I really don't care if your head come rolling down the ground."

Ancestor Sumire was, indeed, a foul-tempered woman. Though she was already old, she wasn't an idiot. She knew what she was doing and what would be the consequences of offending this sect.

"With your knowledge, I know that you must be aware that many sects are planning to dethrone you in the position of being a Pillar. Right now, the time is already ripe and the preparations are already set. With these wolves coming your way, do you think that you defending your sect would be enough to survive the incoming calamity? Not to mention Grand Monarchs will also be present, even Divine Monarchs like you will appear!" Envoy Xi said while trying to maintain his composure.

Indeed, as the Leaf Sword Sect was declining, many sects have allied themselves with the aim of usurping the position of the 5th Pillar of Havenleaf. After all, this position was very prestigious that everyone in the constellation would surely look at you with reverence.

Many sects have thought that the Leaf Sword Sect no longer deserved the position of being a Pillar, and they were more deserving.

"So?" Ancestor Sumire chuckled, "Isn't it the same as your sect's motive? In the name of alliance, you will absorb us slowly but surely. After you absorb us slowly, you can either make us your slaves or eradicate us. Later on, you can create a reason easily if something happens to us. Pretty good scheme, though."

"What..." Envoy Xi didn't expect that Ancestor Sumire could see through the plot they planned. But he didn't back down and said, "What are you saying, Ancestor? It's not right to accuse us like this. I came here with good will. If you really don't want to, I could have just went off my way."

"It's so funny that I heard the word 'good will' from a sect like yours. And I told you to scram already, right?" Ancestor Sumire laughed and a sword appeared out of nowhere, "I changed my mind. I'm going to kill you right here and right now."

Owner Bu was shocked but he wasn't scared. He was just surprised that this old woman didn't change at all even after a thousand years! Though Ancestor Sumire didn't know him, he knew her pretty much well as this ancestor had conducted a lesson while he was staying here in Havenleaf in the past.

Envoy Xi jumped from his seat and looked ashen-white. He was scared shitless as the tip of the sword was directly aiming at him. He wanted to speak, but no words came out.

Ancestor Sumire was about to swing her sword when a cold and distant voice came ringing their ears, "Sumire, you haven't changed even a bit. Have you?"

Soon, a figure appeared. It was a bald old man that looked like a monk. With his hands on his back, he walked slowly until he reach where Envoy Xi was. He tapped the shoulder of the Envoy, clearly indicating that everything was alright.

"So you came out personally, Old Bastard Fu." Ancestor Sumire harrumphed, "To think that you will come out of your seclusion and come personally here. Your house is really going all out."

A Grand Monarch!

Owner Bu thought. Although the aura was different compared to the Divine Monarch's, he could feel that it isn't the aura of someone of a True Monarch.

"Haha, aren't we the same?" Ancestor Fu chuckled, "Coming out with your real body to guard this declining sect? Surely you guys are also going out. Unlike me, you have a looming threat above you yet you risked your life. Impressive."

"Hah. The Heavens is afraid of me. So Heaven's Tribulation will not come." Ancestor Sumire bluffed and smiled.

Jin Rou smiled when he heard these words. He didn't take it to heart so he just let Ancestor Sumire be.

Heaven's Tribulation was a natural phenomena that every cultivators of the Godhood path and Imperial path will experience. As the adage says, "Cultivation is going against the heaven."

While Imperial cultivators have a low chance of encountering one unless the cultivation is high enough, the Godhood cultivators have a high chance of activating a tribulation even at the Divine Monarch level. Thus, most of the time, Divine Monarchs chose to enter seclusion in order to survive. After all, the tribulation was no joke as it could either cripple you or kill you!

"So I would like you to move and let me kill this envoy of yours. Consider it as your payment for annoying me over and over." Ancestor Sumire didn't back down. She was really adamant in killing the envoy.

Ancestor Fu's face darkened, "Are you waging war against us? Do you know what will be the consequences if you continue being unreasonable?"

"I told you, I'm not afraid of you foxes." Ancestor Sumire swung her sword towards the envoy that even the Grand Monarch wasn't able to react.

"Psshh!" The envoy's throat was slit as the blood splashed to the direction of Ancestor Fu. Envoy Xi didn't expect that even after their Ancestor Fu appeared, Ancestor Sumire still dared to kill him!

"..." Ancestor Fu's body trembled as the oozing blood was sprayed on his face. He was trembling in rage and hate and shame. He was very near the envoy yet he wasn't able to save him.

He breathed in and out violently as he said, "Good! Very good, Sumire! It seems like you are already prepared to die with your sect. Then fucking be it!"

"Click!" Ancestor Fu's fingers created a clicking sound.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Suddenly, violent explosions outside could be heard outside.
