1 Should We Make A Move? The Master of the Black Lotus stepped out, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. With a gesture of his hand, all the cultivators stood up, silently watching him. A gloomy voice, filled with immense pressure, came from the mouth of the Master of the Black Lotus. As he spoke, he squeezed his rising hand into a fist. His steely and penetrating gaze radiated battle intent and arrogance, stirring fervour among the assembled cultivators. “Master’s divine power is unparalleled, eradicating Feng Jiu and unifying the world are very close at hand!” “Master’s divine power is unparalleled, eradicating Feng Jiu and unifying the world are very close at hand!” One after another, excited shouts resonated in the forest. But as the Master of the Black Lotus made the gesture, everyone fell silent, all eyes filled with anticipation, waiting for his orders. “I’ve been in seclusion for so long, what is Feng Jiu’s strength now? Have you been keeping an eye on her movements?” The Master of the Black Lotus asked gloomily. At this point, a cultivator stepped forward. “Master, both Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze are now at the level of Divine King. And from what I’ve learned, Xuanyuan Mo Ze has claimed this continent in the Upper Realm, while Feng Jiu has become the ruler of the world of mortals. What’s more, their relationship with the Black Tortoise Monarch seems to be quite good, but they’re arch-enemies with the Skylink Monarch.” “Master, they just returned to the mortal realm to plan their wedding. The wedding is only about a month away,” Yun Xuexin, in white robes, spoke with a hint of anger in her voice. She wanted to tear Feng Jiu apart at the mere thought of her marrying Xuanyuan Mo Ze! The Master of the Black Lotus narrowed his eyes as he listened to their reports. To think that in just a few years, not only did Feng Jiu become a Divine King, but Xuanyuan Mo Ze also advanced to the level of Divine King Strong Exponent! “Master, should we make our move during their wedding?” Yun Xuexin asked eagerly. The Master of the Black Lotus cast her a cold glance, “Make a move during their wedding? Will no one come to congratulate them on their wedding?” Yun Xuexin’s eyes flickered, then drooped as she dared not speak. Of course, many would attend their wedding, but should she just watch helplessly as they got married? Another black-robed cultivator spoke up, “Master, over the years, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu have extensive connections in both the Upper Realm and the Mortal Realm. Now that they’re getting married, many from the Upper Realm are making the journey down to the world of mortals to congratulate them. There will be many Strong Exponents present at their wedding. Subordinate doesn’t think now is the time to make a move.” “Indeed, Master. Feng Jiu and her allies are extremely powerful now. Subordinate believes that joining forces with the Skylink Monarch and others to confront Feng Jiu will bring us maximum results with little effort.” The Master of the Black Lotus seemed lost in thought, his gaze flickering slightly as he remained silent. Finally, he ordered, “Send someone to contact the Skylink Monarch and tell him I have something to discuss with him.” After saying this, his steely gaze landed on Yun Xuexin. After a long silence, he said, “Come with me.” When he turned and proceeded towards his cave-dwelling, Yun Xuexin felt an unexplainable sense of unease. After giving him a brief reply, she braced herself, lowering her gaze and following him inside, leaving behind hundreds of black-robed cultivators outside.
