Chapter 1538: Shadow Council (1/2)

There was an extremely hidden area of the pavilion with many sealing laws and empowerments. This made it impregnable like a fortress. Moreover, all of these spells came from sea G.o.ds and not just three or five of them.

Few disciples knew about this place. For example, ordinary ancestors weren’t qualified to be aware of this place. Furthermore, because it was cla.s.sified as a top secret location, only Hallowed was allowed to enter. Even the Seven Martial G.o.ddess who knew the seven styles didn’t have this privilege.

Only by becoming a sea G.o.d would she be granted entry and be privy to the true secrets in this place.

This practice wasn’t because Hallowed was selfish but it was due to the grave importance of this matter relating to the life-and-death of the pavilion or even all of the sea demons. Once someone else caught wind of it, the consequence would be unimaginable so Hallowed was very cautious about it.

After taking Li Qiye here, he stood outside and told the guy: “Your Excellency, I can only bring you here and have no say in the actual negotiation itself.”

Even though he was the only person who knew about this secret in the present era, he wasn’t qualified to interfere. Only sea G.o.ds and above could talk and discuss it!

“I know, I’ll be fine alone.” Li Qiye chuckled and leisurely strolled into the area.

With the first step, a buzz came about with a flas.h.i.+ng light. He disappeared in the next moment without a trace. This type of disappearance didn’t look like a teleportation at all.

In the next second, he appeared in an exceedingly mysterious area. No one could spy or enter without permission. Its coordinates were cryptic as well, unbeknownst to outsiders.

One would find a river of twinkling stars in the sky. It looked quite beautiful as if jewels were embedded up above. There were also strange gravels everywhere to make up the river on top of astral vortexes.

A platform floated in this s.p.a.ce with a roundtable. There were shades sitting there with their aura converged. However, their style and posture alone showed that when these shades were still in the world, they were supreme existences capable of sweeping through the land!

Li Qiye chuckled and said casually: “The shadow council, quite secretive indeed. Looks like many sea G.o.ds have joined now.”

The shades turned to look at him. Despite not being the true body of sea G.o.ds, their glare was still quite frightening. A Nine World’s G.o.dking would find their legs becoming soft being the center of so many eyes.

However, Li Qiye was still as nonchalant as ever. He dragged a chair over and sat down coolly.

“Your Excellency, I have been a fan of you long ago.” Eventually, one of the shades spoke. His voice was imposing despite the low volume. Nevertheless, it also soothed the soul and gave a safe feeling.

“Yes, it’s me.” Li Qiye looked at the shade and smiled: “It looks like there was a meeting here as well before wanting to meet me, Prime.”

The speaker was the Prime Sea G.o.d. Of course, his true body was no longer in this world. This was the case for all the sea G.o.ds.

Nevertheless, many sea G.o.ds still partic.i.p.ated at this shadow council all along. It was considered the highest secret of the sea demon race. Because of its importance, its formation and goals were carefully guarded. Not all new sea G.o.ds were eligible to learn of this secret!

“We had to be cautious before knowing that it was you, Your Excellency Dark Crow. After being reported by Hallowed, we had a deliberation and True Martial confirmed it. That’s how we figured out your ident.i.ty.” Prime slowly explained.

In fact, Hallowed couldn’t decide a meeting with Prime and the council. However, he reported the stories to them so the council decided to meet with Li Qiye.

“Your Excellency, long time no see. Our real bodies aren’t in the world anymore so we can’t greet you in full.” Another heavyweight at the table slightly bowed towards Li Qiye and spoke: “I didn’t think you would be interested in our council. In the past, you have never intervened.”

Of course, this speaker was True Martial Sea G.o.d.
