Chapter 404 The Celestial Death Tune

Chapter 404 The Celestial Death Tune

On the ground lay an object, astonishingly a dragon-shaped jade pendant. It looked identical to the two that Billy already possessed, with only slight differences in the color of the dragon's head. "Boss, how can there be another jade pendant like this here?" Azure Dragon exclaimed in shock.

"I don't know," Billy replied, shaking his head as he bent down to pick up the jade pendant.

"Boss, it's quite a coincidence that both fallen experts had the same jade pendant. This jade pendant seems to be more than meets the eye." Casey said, his expression growing serious.

"If our estimation is correct, both of these experts were likely killed because of the jade pendants." Billy agreed.

It was almost certain.

Hissing sounds came from Azure Dragon and the others as they heard this. Even a mid-War God-Emperor had met his end due to this jade pendant. What could be the significance of this object? "Billy, have you seen this jade pendant before?" Ivy Chandler, who was curious, asked.

Azure Fang and the others also looked over, not knowing about the jade pendant.

"Yeah," Billy replied with a faint smile, briefly explaining the story of the other two jade pendants he had.

"Isn't that quite a coincidence?" Ivy expressed her surprise after hearing the story.

The others also had shocked expressions on their faces.

Billy nodded and then turned to Black Tortoise. "Black Tortoise, can you see what's written on that animal skin?"

"There's only one piece of music written on it." Black Tortoise responded.

"What?" Stout felt like he hadn't heard clearly.

Could it be that this Emperor Realm expert was a music enthusiast?

"Let me see!" Ivy Chandler took the scroll from Black Tortoise's hands. After looking at it, she exclaimed in a soft voice, "The Celestial Death Tune!"

"Do you recognize this music?" Frostblade asked.

"This is the signature martial technique of Celestial Harp Sect, a martial art belonging to War God-Emperors, called the Celestial Death Tune." Ivy Chandler confirmed.

"Celestial Harp Sect?" Night Orchid was surprised. "Isn't that the Celestial Harp Sect that was wiped out overnight a few decades ago?"

"Yeah," Ivy Chandler nodded again. "It's the same one. They were annihilated completely a few decades ago." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Boss, I believe this God-Emperor Realm expert's death is related to this music." Black Tortoise speculated.

"It's a possibility." Billy agreed with a nod. His curiosity about the jade pendant's origins had increased. What could be the story behind it? And how many of these jade pendants were there? "Ivy, I hope your skill with the zither hasn't declined. The Celestial Death Tune is yours now, you should try it when you get back." Billy said, smiling at Ivy Chandler.

"Thank you, Billy. This is something that martial artists dream of!" Ivy's face lit up with joy.

Afterward, the group restored the coffin lid and bowed deeply once more.

Ten minutes later, they returned to the cliff.

Then, Billy, holding the Bloodshadow Fury Blade, slashed several blade radiance towards a stone slab about twenty meters away. The stone slab was shattered into pieces and fell into the abyss below. This was done to prevent anyone else from disturbing the peace of the fallen War God-Emperor, and as for Inkforge, Billy had already given him a swift and clean end, leaving him at the bottom of the abyss. "Let's go back," Billy said as he led the group down the mountain.

"Billy, I'll return to Ether Mountains." Ivy Chandler said when they reached the foot of the mountain. "Whenever you have the time, come back and ask that old man if he knows anything about this jade pendant."

"Sure," Billy replied.

"Thank you, Ivy. Goodbye!" The group greeted Ivy Chandler. They all knew that if it weren't for her help today, there was no guarantee that Billy alone could have broken through the formations in the cave. "See you next time!" Ivy Chandler smiled faintly and turned to leave.

In the northern part of Glavale, thousands of miles away from Ozin, on a mountain peak, there stood a complex of buildings-hundreds of them, big and small, with various architectural styles. At the entrance of the complex, there was a towering archway, nearly twenty to thirty meters high, with the three prominent characters "Purple Light Sect" engraved on it in a flamboyant style. This place was the headquarters of the ancient martial sect, Purple Light Sect.

Not long after Billy and his group returned to Ozin, a group of about ten men and women sat in the main hall of the Purple Light Sect's assembly building. Each of them had an unpleasant expression, and many radiated waves of anger. These individuals were the inner and outer elders of the sect, core members of the sect.

The reason they had gathered here was none other than their recent killing of the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Fifth Elder. All three of them had been killed within a span of less than a month, and this was a devastating blow to the sect.

While Purple Light Sect was considered a top-tier sect, its standing within the martial world was not particularly high. Losing three elders in such a short time would undoubtedly cause the sect's influence to plummet even further. And all of this was attributed to the actions of Commander Gardner. Therefore, each person present harbored deep hatred towards him.

Soon, heavy footsteps resounded, and a middle-aged man entered the hall. He wore traditional Daoist robes, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and exuded a chilling aura. Wherever he went, the temperature in the surroundings seemed to drop several degrees. This man was none other than the Sect Master, Gully Manning.

For some time, Gully Manning had been in seclusion, and the sect's affairs had been handled by the Grand Elder, Nigel Becker.

When the Second Elder was killed in the capital not long ago, Nigel Becker didn't want to disturb Gully Manning's cultivation, so he kept it a secret. However, now that Nigel Becker was also dead, the sect had no choice but to report the incidents.

Half an hour ago, when the Third Elder brought the news to Gully Manning's seclusion, it almost caused him to go berserk. He had directly blasted one of the pavilions into ruins in his fit of anger. "Greetings, Sect Master!" When they saw Gully Manning, the inner and outer elders stood up and paid their respects.

Gully Manning nodded slightly and then took a seat at the head of the hall.

"Third Elder, please provide a detailed account of the situation." Gully Manning said in a loathing voice.

"Certainly, Sect Master." The Third Elder nodded and spent the next quarter of an hour recounting the incidents involving Nigel Becker and the others.

"Reckless!" After hearing the report, Gully Manning bellowed.

A surge of powerful aura uncontrollably emanated from him, causing the wooden chair beneath him to shatter into splinters.
