Chapter 862: Ancestor of the Dark Sky Kingdom
As the figure slowly made his way towards the center of the meeting room, none of the people from the major sects dared to say a single word after realizing just how powerful this newcomer was. Even if they worked together, they would not be able to make up the difference in power between the Soul Ascension Realm and the Domain Lord Realm without the assistance of a formation that would allow them to combine their strength… But even in that case, there was no chance their opponent would just wait for them to set up such a formation…
For this reason, the faces of everyone present were filled with fear as they looked towards the unknown person that slowly came to a stop after reaching the center of the meeting room where the experts above the Sixth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm belonging to the different kingdoms supporting the major sects were located.
“What is the ancestor of the Dark Sky Kingdom doing here and how come you are getting involved with the internal matters of the major sects!? Especially now that we have fallen out with the Hollow Thunder Family, do you perhaps think we won’t attack you? Hmph! Don’t think we have no idea about the forbidden technique of yours, we know very well that you haven’t truly reached the Soul Ascension Realm even if your power resembles that of one!” Not intimidated like the different sect masters and elders from the major sects, one of the people standing at the center called out to the person that turned out to be the ancestor of the Dark Sky Kingdom with a clear hostility on his face.
“So, he is not someone in the Soul Ascension Realm…”
“Haaa… I was just about to have a heart attack!”
“Me as well, I was just about to leave you all behind.”
At the same time, he had also revealed the fact that the person that had just arrived was not a real Soul Ascension Realm Expert, but instead just seemed like he had reached the Soul Ascension Realm due to some sort of forbidden technique. Making the nervous and afraid elders and sect masters from the different major sects calm down.
Even if the Ancestor of the Dark Sky Kingdom was one of the most powerful experts in the Sky Empire and had already reached the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm, they also understood that he would stand no chance against them if they worked together. Especially considering that the person who had called out to him just now was a powerful expert that had reached the Ninth Stage of the Domain Lord Realm!
Although he had not yet reached the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm and was still some distance away from reaching it, he alone would be more than capable of fighting the ancestor from the Dark Sky Kingdom, let alone if he also had the help of the close to fifty Domain Lord Realm Experts that had gathered for the meeting!
“Don’t look at me like that, I’m not here for something related to the Hollow Thunder Family. Instead, I’m here to give you something that might help you when it comes to dealing with the Hollow Thunder Family.” Sneering as he said this with a disdainful expression on his face, the ancestor from the Dark Sky Kingdom took out a small storage ring before throwing it over to the Domain Lord Realm Expert that had called out to him just a moment ago.
“Hm? What in the world are you up to?” Narrowing his eyes after catching the interspatial ring that the ancestor of the Dark Sky Kingdom had thrown towards him, the Domain Lord Realm Expert did not waste a single second before using his divine sense to scan through the things inside the interspatial ring. Knowing very well that the answer to this question would likely be answered by the content of the interspatial ring.
“This is-”
At first, he had thought that the ancestor of the Dark Sky Kingdom might have come to facilitate a reduce in tensions and possible ceasefire between them and the Hollow Thunder Family, with the objects in the interspatial ring being related to this… But after looking through the interspatial ring with his divine sense, it did not take long for him to realize that this was not the case…
“Information on the Hollow Thunder Family and the rest of the noble families. Not only this, but also information on all the geniuses from the large noble families and their locations to secretive storage locations for spiritual herbs, metals and artifacts that the different noble families gathered over the years!” Muttering this to himself with a look of disbelief on his face, the Domain Lord Realm Expert could not help turning towards the ancestor from the Dark Sky Kingdom standing a few meters away from him.
“I said that this would be useful to you. Hehe~ Now that my job here is done, I will take my leave, I hope that you and the rest of the people present here will make sure to take good care of the noble families. Of course, limited to the degree that the imperial family won’t have any reason to interfere!”
“You are one of the three religions spies in the noble families!?” Having already figured out what was happening and what the ancestor from the Dark Sky Kingdom wanted him and the rest of the kingdoms and major sects around him to do, the Domain Lord Realm Expert who was holding on to the interspatial ring could not stop himself from asking this with a look of shock plastered all over his face.
“Hehe~ Who knows? I will be taking my leave now.” Not properly answering the question of the Domain Lord Realm Expert, the ancestor from the Dark Sky Kingdom did not bother staying around for any longer after he had delivered the interspatial ring-
Whoosh~!
Directly disappearing from the meeting hall using a powerful movement technique that allowed him to teleport a short distance. Displaying just how great his mastery over space was when compared to ordinary Peak Domain Lord Realm Experts.
Because everyone present had reached the Domain Lord Realm, it also meant that every single one of the people present had managed to overhear what the Domain Lord Realm Expert had muttered to himself after having looked through the content of the interspatial ring.
Instantly causing an eerie silence to descend upon the entire meeting, as no one present had any idea what to say after the sudden revelation that the ancestor of the Dark Sky Kingdom was one of the three religions spies inside the noble families.
Even if it was obvious to everyone present that the three religions were trying to use them to cause more chaos in the Sky Empire and make things harder for the imperial family, they also understood that the secretive storage locations of the noble families that had been mentioned were far too tempting to let go of.
Although none of them, other than the person currently holding the interspatial ring, had any idea just what was inside these secretive storage locations belonging to the different noble families. The secretive storage locations that had been used to store the different noble families’ resources over a period of thousands to tens of thousands of years would not be small.
Not to mention, the different noble families of the Sky Empire had far more territory filled with precious spiritual herbs or spiritual metal under their control compared to the major sects and the kingdoms of the Sky Empire. Mainly due to most of them having ancestors that had been a part of the establishment of the Sky Empire and in turn were given resource rich territories as a reward.
Rustle~
It was at this moment, as the experts from the different sects and kingdoms were thinking about whether to jump forward and take the bait that the three religions had dangled in front of them, that an old man who looked like he was one step in the grave walked up to the person with the interspatial ring. Attracting the attention of everyone present.
“Everyone! It’s clear that the three religions want to use us to cause more chaos in the Sky Empire, but… The rewards for doing this are more or less equal in value to the risk posed by doing something like this. No, I would say that the rewards are worth more!
Don’t forget, the fighting will be limited to the younger generation. Even if we rob the secretive storage locations, I doubt the imperial family will allow the fighting to involve us seniors. Not to mention the secretive storage locations won’t store the most precious artifacts and spiritual herbs of these noble families and should not be enough for the imperial family to allow a full-blown war between us and the noble families!”
“That… Is indeed true, there is no way that the imperial family will allow a war to take place in the current state of the Sky Empire, they would fear that one of us turns around and supports the three religions…”
“I vote for us to play along with what the three religions want us to do. Even in the worst-case scenario, we can always blame them for being behind and trying to sow discord between the noble families and us.”
“Haha! I’m all for it, I-”
Following the words of the half dead looking old man, the rest of the Domain Lord Realm Experts present soon followed and before long, everyone present had agreed to raid the secretive storage locations of the noble families and in turn make the situation in the Sky Empire even more chaotic in the process.
