Chapter 355: Elsewhere
An old man with a bald head and long white beard and mustache, the classical fu manchu, was sitting cross legged with his eyes closed in a dark stone chamber. There was a sudden thudding sound coming from the stone door and his meditation was disrupted. The man opened his eyes and a hint of irritation crossed his features.
What is it?
Outside of the stone chamber a middle aged man wearing an extremely intricate and heavily embroidered robe was bowing to the door. He heard the voice clearly through the stone just like it was directly delivered to his ears. Then he bowed again and spoke apologetically.
Forgive me, Ancestor. There are rumors of a new Seal Master.
The old man seemed less annoyed, as that sort of news was on the list of things worthy enough to disturb him for. He shook his body slightly and a layer of dust was shaken off of him. Hed been in closed door training for years without moving a muscle, but it took only a few moments for him to reawaken the great power in his body. He rose to his feet and pushed open the stone door to the chamber. It was locked from the inside to prevent him from being disturbed.
When the old man stepped outside, his brilliantly vibrant purple robe was extremely eye catching. He looked at the bowing man and smiled, You dont need to be so formal, Sect Leader. Its unbecoming of your station.
The man rose from his bow and then shook his head, Thats not true. The Violet Light Sect does not forget the great accomplishments of its members. It is only right that I properly respect you, Ancestor.
He didnt say any more as it was quite obvious to them both. The title of Ancestor in the Violet Light Sect was only given to former Sect Leaders who had already stepped down from the position. The old man waved a hand to him to indicate they should move on to the matter at hand. The Sect Leader nodded, We received news from Little Mei. There was a minor squabble over some benefits, but then the leader of the offending party transformed into a beast. He also has a companion that turned out to be a Demonic Beast as well. Neither of them are the bloodlines of Shou Imperials, and they were both at Core Formation.
There must be more, something like that could be caused by many different things.
Youre very astute, Ancestor. Little Mei had turned the offenders subordinates against him, so the news took some time to reach her. The beast escaped and his companion was killed. The mutinous subordinates were unable to capture their former leader and only after half a year were the events finally brought to our attention when she came to ask for help.
This is the opportunity the Lai Clan has been waiting for. Multiple great powers were conducting a secret search for one person. Whatever it is that he knows or has must be of extreme value. We cant let this opportunity slip through our fingers. Weve been hiding ourselves in Dawn Mountain County and building our strength, but its time we flex our muscles.
On the surface, the Prefect of Dawn Mountain County as well as four of the dozen City Lords in the county were all from the Lai Clan. This was only what they wanted others to think. In fact, every city in the county was in their control. The other eight City Lords in the county were loyal to their clan or secretly controlled by their clan members from behind. The problem was they werent quite strong enough to overthrow the Chong Clan, and they didnt want to draw attention to themselves. It was for this reason they secretly built their power.
The one speaking was the singular man in the central seat, and the people in the two rows of chairs to the sides pondered his words for a moment. Then one of them spoke out, The Patriarch is right. Weve been waiting too long. We can stand on even ground with the Chong Clan, so its worth exposing ourselves. Such a character definitely has powerful secrets and treasures!
The Patriarch nodded and looked to the rest of the room. A few others stood up and declared their loyalty to the cause. Some in the room had a worried look in their eyes, but there was suddenly too much fervent support for them to speak out. They didnt want to be the ones to talk back and suffer the consequences. The Patriarch smiled and stood up, Summon the Underlords. Its time for them to show their prowess.
One of the worried men finally couldnt control himself. He also rose to his feet, This is too big of a gamble! What if the rumors are about the wrong person? Weve been hiding our development for decades, so many in the Clan have made such huge sacrifices. We cant expose ourselves just for a hunch! We dont even know what he has, let alone if its worth the risk. Please reconsider, Patriarch.
The Patriarch fixed his piercing gaze upon the slightly chubby man who had just spoken, Does anyone else agree with Lai Zan?
One of the other men who was friends with Lai Zan also rose to his feet, I do.
After waiting a few more moments for more supporters, the Patriarch spoke again, Just the two of you? Well, at least youll have company.
Before the two men could understand what hed said, the Patriarch tapped his foot on the ground and there was a soft rumble from beneath them. Suddenly, the ground below the two others that had stood up, opened wide. It was like a trapdoor opened beneath them, the space under their feet seemed to disappear and both men fell downwards. They reached out and grabbed the edges, but the stone moved on its own and turned liquid like water. Their hands passed helplessly through the liquified stone and they disappeared into the ground. A moment later, the two holes sealed themselves back up.
As I said before. Summon the Underlords. Its time we act.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
