Ancestor Sumire knitted her brows. What are those explosions about? She looked at Ancestor Fu who was looking sinisterly at her and she suddenly felt a bad premonition.

"Whoosh!!" She immediately rushed outside to check what's going on.

Ancestor Fu did the same. But he was taking his time walking slowly.

Jin Rou also stood up and said, "Owner Bu, let's go too and watch."

"Alright." Owner Bu nodded and answered. He was also curious what's going to happen now that things had escalated to this level. With Jin Rou by his side, who was an unknown apex being according to his assumptions, what would possibly happen to him? Thus, he could decide this easily. If it was in the past, he might have hid already or ran away.

As the explosion was massive enough, it destroyed many buildings that the Leaf Sword Sect possessed leaving only tiny bricks. It seemed that the explosion was solid enough to shake the very foundation of this sect.

Ancestor Sumire was already in the place of the explosion, the Garden of Leaf. Seeing that almost no flowers and trees had survived the explosion, her body trembled in rage. Although this garden wasn't that important, the favorite flowers that Ancestor Sumire loved so much were also destroyed by that explosion. Having that kind of flower would take her another 10,000 years of grooming.

"Old Bastard Fu! Do you know what you have done?!" Ancestor Sumire shouted in the coming silhouette behind her. She was really mad. And at the same time, cautious. After all, she could feel many auras all around!

"You see, we have warned you already." Ancestor Fu smiled, "But you didn't listen. You will never concede unless the coffin is right in front of you. So be it. We will settle this today."

"Huh? Settle it today? What do you mean?" Ancestor Sumire was feeling something ominous.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Soon, 5 figures had appeared out of the void. They were wearing different kind of robes. The only similarity between these five old men was the aura they were emitting!

"5 Grand Monarchs..." The sectmaster had already came to the place as he was worried about what happened. Tens of disciples had also tagged along with him. And after seeing the appearances of these 5 Grand Monarchs, they all were terrified.

Surely, these monarchs didn't come here to have a friendly chat with them!

As the 5 Grand Monarchs made their appearance, many experts nearby had felt their aura and came this way to know what was happening. After all, gathering 5 Grand Monarchs was a spectacular scene to behold!

"Oh god..." An spectator was scared when he saw this line up, "They really moved. Those sects just below the Pillars have finally made their move of usurping the position of a Pillar!"

"I know that they were aiming to become a Pillar, that's why they secretly created an alliance. But to usurp it openly? That's some brave moves. What if the other Pillars caught wind of this? As a fellow Pillar, they might lend a help and this alliance would not stand a chance. No chance at all even a single percent." His friend said.

What he said has a point. But to the first spectator, the Fifth Pillar had been declining and never did the 4 Pillars tried to help them. If they did, would they even decline? With only one Divine Monarch in their ranks, the Leaf Sword Sect was destined to have this kind of fate. After all, the other Pillars have at least 3 Divine Monarchs in their arsenal.

Thinking about this, the spectator knew that there's only one result the Leaf Sword Sect will have. Unless, a powerful being save them, that is.

"In the name of justice, for killing Envoy Xi of Dignified Alliance, you, Sumire Hao, is sentenced to death!" The old man in the middle of the Grand Monarchs said.

"I see. So it's you six sects. Hmm. I see." Ancestor Sumire recognized these 5 Grand Monarchs as they visited her in the past. Each Grand Monarch had their own sect. After a short while, she sneered and said, "So you guys have planned this well enough."

It turned out that these people were already prepared with everything when the envoy called for her presence. They didn't plan to give Ancestor Sumire a chance to turn the tables.

And because of her killing the envoy, this alliance had the perfect excuse to kill her here. After all, it was her who made the first move. She calculated that she will be given time at least a few days for her to think of a plan for the upcoming assault. But she miscalculated this time and that miscalculation turned out to be this grave.

She killed the envoy to let them know that she wasn't afraid of them knocking their door. But who would have thought that they would came knocking right after the envoy was killed? She really underestimated the brains of those power-hungry beings.

Though she had a hidden ace card, it was risky and dangerous. But she didn't have a choice either. It was her mistake this time.

"Oh by the way," Ancestor Fu was also now in the place where the 5 Grand Monarchs were, "We have already applied for the Dignified Alliance to become the new 5th Pillar once this is over and they had an official decree here. Too bad, if you just accepted our proposal, you will also be part of our Alliance and you might keep your sect safe here and sound."

"Stop this bullshit and fight if you want a fight! What's with this blabbering nonsense? I don't care if it's an official decree of an animal or whatsoever, but I'm telling you, you will never get the position from us! The Leaf Sword Sect is the only deserving for the 5th Pillar!" Ancestor Sumire shouted and prepared herself for the battle. She would do everything just to keep the sect safe even if it costs her own life!
