The second elder did not voice out his thoughts as it won't change the outcome of their fates.
The moment he saw that bone-chilling smile from Cale, the second elder knew that their Titan Sect would no longer exist. He wanted to escape to save himself, but he had grown attached to the sect after staying within for more than a century.
'It looks like this the end of my old life. But it's not that bad if I think about it. At least I will be reunited with my wife and daughter...' The second elder glanced at the horizon with a gaze full of longing. He then turned to look at the direction of the Dual Sword Army, his eyes flashed with a savage glint. 'Even if I die, I will die a glorious death!'
* * *
The Titan Sect was situated in the tallest peak of the mountainous region of Sidapa Mountain Range. Even normal cultivators might find it hard to trek the steep mountains of this place, but it was not a problem for the Dual Sword Army.
Cale glanced at the towering building of the Titan Sect. It was surrounded by thick walls in all directions and it also seemed to be protected by an array formation.
From an outsider's point of view, the Titan Sect seemed to be an impenetrable fortress, but in Cale's eyes, it was just nothing but a thin piece of fancy-looking paper.
Up above the walls were numerous experts from the Titan Sect. They all had resolute looks as they faced the Dual Sword Army. Leading them was an old figure dressed in grey robes. This old man was the new sect master of the Titan Sect, Song Bi.
"So this gentleman right here must be the new duke of the Celestial Sword Empire, the Unfettered Duke Cale. It's a p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e to meet you here. I'm the new sect master of the Titan Sect, Song Bi. Do you have something to talk with us, Duke Cale?" Sect Master Song smiled amiably.
The elders behind Sect Master Song glanced at the silver-haired man clad in a striking black armor with squinting eyes. They could not fathom the depths of this silver-haired man no matter how they looked at him. The thought of it made them slightly fearful.
Cale smiled in response and said in a calm voice devoid of any ripple. "I would love to have a chat with Sect Master Song, but unfortunately I have already promised His Majesty to fulfill my mission."
Sect Master Song wasn't angered by Cale's words. He still looked at Cale with the same amiable smile. "If you don't mind me asking, what might be the emperor's mission for you, Duke Cale?"
Cale's smile widened as he replied in a freezingly calm voice. "To eradicate you all."
Sect Master Song's eyes contracted after hearing his words.
It wasn't just him, all the elders and disciples of the Titan Sect felt their hearts leap out of their c_h_e_s_ts.
Only the second elder remained indifferent as he looked at Cale's peerless and matchless figure. 'It was a mistake to become an enemy to the Celestial Sword Empire. With this man's presence in the Celestial Sword Empire, it isn't a problem to remain prosperous for the next hundreds of years as long as they don't provoke those seclusive old people at the Earth Enlightenment Realm. Sigh!'
"Activate the Titan Suppressing Array Formation! Elders and disciples of my Titan Sect, prepare for battle!" Sect Master Song ordered loudly as he looked murderously at Cale and the Dual Sword Army.
The Titan Suppressing Array Formation of the Titan Sect was a defensive array formation that was capable of holding back experts at the peak-stage of the Immortal-Class level. It can also suppress the enemies within the periphery of their sect grounds.
With their advantage in terrain, the elders and disciples from the Titan Sect shouted with morale.
"For the Titan Sect!"
"Kill the Dual Sword Army!"
The Dual Sword Army felt the suppressive effect of the Titan Suppressing Array Formation of the Titan Sect. The soldiers felt their strength regressing by a minor realm which made them frown. Even the four Immortal-Class level experts beside Cale were not spared from the suppression.
"Not bad! This Titan Sect is indeed strong, but that's just that." Cale smiled as he raised his right arm.
His Void Wolf Immortal Sword emerged out of thin air which then released a cold and baleful sword aura that struck fear to the onlooking Titan Sect's elders and disciples.
Cale hopped from Ember's back and hovered in mid-air. He then casually waved his Void Wolf Immortal Sword which produced a pulsating sword wind that traveled towards the heart of the Titan Suppressing Array Formation.
Some elders controlled the array formation to block Cale's sword strike, afraid that it might break their formation.
A huge and transparent golem materialized to block Cale's sword strike.
The fierce and pulsating sword wind hit the transparent golem's body causing a loud explosion that echoed in the Sidapa Mountain Range.
"Baang!"
A violent gust of wind traveled in all directions after the explosion which covered the entirety of the Titan Sect in dust.
When the dust particles receded, the transparent golem can no longer be seen, but at least it was able to block Cale's sword strike.
The people from the Titan Sect heaved a sigh of relief.
"Not bad! But the strength I used then wasn't even a hundredth of my true power. How about receiving another ten sword winds from me?" Cale smiled as he hefted his Void Wolf Immortal Sword in his shoulders while glancing at the people from the Titan Sect with his cold eyes.
Sect Master Song felt the mockery in Cale's tone, making him considerably humiliated. This was the first time that their Titan Sect was humiliated to this extent. They couldn't even dare to rebut Cale, not even Sect Master Song dared to do so.
Now, Sect Master Song knew what kind of monster this Unfettered Duke Cale was.
'He is a messenger of death.' Sect Master Song was certain about it.
