The person who launched the sneak attack on the Guoling Elder was none other than Divine Wood Palace Sect Master Hua Wutong. Having previously sustained heavy injuries, he had imprisoned himself within a pillar of green light, leading everyone to believe he had used a secret technique to escape the fray and buy time for his own healing.
Little did they know that he was simply waiting for this exact moment—waiting for Yinshan Sect Master Huang Taiyue to seize total control, and waiting for the Guoling Elder to drop to his knees in surrender. At the precise instant when this treacherous wretch was completely off his guard, Hua Wutong delivered a fatal blow.
The timing could not have been better. His patience had indeed paid off: the Guoling Elder’s physical body was pierced and battered to absolute shreds by the Wooden Sword imbued with Transformation-stage wood spiritual power, leaving him with no possibility of ever standing again.
