Of course we have no proof the elder was defenseless or in a temple. Just that he was not near the initial "fray" of the fight. What could've easily happened is during the fight, Noxus soliders got in and took means to take out a building that seemed to hold "command" over the area. A temple in which warriors are trained seems like a potential threat for invading forces, so it could've easily been attacked by Riven and her comrades. Perhaps all of the Noxus invaders died aside from Riven, who dealt the killing blow on the old man before retreating to the rest of the falling back Noxus soldiers. We also don't know if this battle happened before or after Riven left. She could've challenged the Ionian master, still having a heart to serve the Noxus way (though not the corrupted people), on her own accord. Unknowns. Too many conclusions jumped too. They put tiny things like this to connect lore's to allow the community to create their own personal stories. Don't necessarily rule anything out.

Riot left some dots unconnected for a reason.
