Deep within the Gongming Family's manor in Black Rock City, inside a grand hall where the soul tablets of important Family members were enshrined.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
Three crisp shattering sounds rang out in succession, sounding exceptionally piercing in the silent hall. The Disciple on duty watched in horror as the three jade soul tablets representing the Third Elder Gong Mingliang and his two trusted Foundation Establishment Cultivators were covered in cracks almost simultaneously, then completely exploded, turning into fine powder!
"The... The Third Elder has fallen!" The duty Disciple was scared out of his wits, scrambling out of the hall as he screamed hoarsely, "This is bad! The Third Elder's soul tablet has shattered!"
The news was like a clap of thunder, instantly exploding throughout the entire Gongming Family!
