Priest Tie lowered his head like he did not understand the contempt in the other party’s words. “Lord Fang Xingjian’s cultivation is astonishing, and he’s able to understand the world’s profoundness thoroughly. It’s my honor to be the subordinate of a person like this.”

“Haha,” the Gray Army’s representative chuckled, feeling increasingly contemptuous toward the White Army.

He lifted his head and looked at the land in the Sacred White Crevice. An insuppressible sense of desire to monopolize it rose in his heart.

‘This land should also come under the control of our army.’

The Gray Army possessed an intense desire to monopolize. The group that they formed could be said to be the most disciplined out of the 13 armies. Almost the entire army was strictly regulated, and everything was within the commander’s control.

The Gray Army’s envoy followed Priest Tie to a side hall and saw that Priest Longmai was already there, waiting to receive him.

Priest Longmai cupped his hands together and said, “It’s been a while, Mister Grimm. I wonder for what matter have you come here for this visit.”

Grimm nodded. Although Priest Longmai was not considered to be the best in terms of strength amongst the commanders, he was undeniably at the top in terms of both seniority and age. Therefore, Grimm had to remain respectful.

“Priest Longmai, our Gray Army—as well as the Black Army and the Yellow Army—have decided to call for a meeting and determine the jurisdiction for the newly discovered page of the Book of Wisdom. At that time, the representatives from the other armies will also come.”

Hearing Grimm’s words, Priest Longmai frowned. He knew that what was meant to come was finally here.

This was unlike the situation of how the 13 armies had fought for the Book of Wisdom at the very beginning. After so many years passed by, the 13 armies decided on the rule that after a page of the Book of Wisdom was discovered, each army would send out a representative and decide on its jurisdiction.

The army which obtained the page would also have to provide the remaining 12 armies with the appropriate compensation.

If it were in the past, Priest Longmai knew that their faction’s powers and influence would both have been too weak to fight for the book’s pages. Moreover, he was too engrossed in the pursuit of Dao that he could not be bothered to attending the meeting and would tend to just give up.

However, with Fang Xingjian backing him up now, Priest Longmai became a lot more confident. He unknowingly straightened his back and said, “I’ve got it. I’ll inform the Commander about this.”

Grimm frowned. Priest Longmai’s confidence made him feel a little uneasy. Like giving a kind reminder, he could not help but add, “This time around, Lord Grade seems determined to get his hands on it. You best think of what compensation to give.”

Priest Longmai smiled and said, “Haha, thanks for your concern. It’s just that this time around, our White Army will probably want to fight for it as well.”

Grimm’s gaze glimmered, and he asked with an intention to probe, “It’s because of that Fang Xingjian? Longmai my old friend, you must think through this carefully. Grade isn’t someone that’s easy to get along with. The Black Army gathered many wills into one body. Right now, he’s at a crucial point of clearing up the wills, and the Book of Wisdom is of great importance to him.

“It won’t do you any good to anger him.”

“Haha, there’s no need for you to worry about the details.”

A hint of curiosity flashed in Grimm’s eyes. He wanted to ask about Fang Xingjian’s actual background. It was surprising that he could actually give Priest Longmai such great confidence to stand up against Grade.

However, Priest Longmai was clearly not intending to tell Grimm about Fang Xingjian. After discussing the meeting’s time and location, he sent Grimm off.

After doing that, Priest Longmai wore an excited expression like a little kid as he headed to where Fang Xingjian was training in seclusion.

The White Army had remained quiet for far too long. However, right now, with Fang Xingjian backing them up, it was finally time for them to walk with their heads’ held high.

Priest Longmai came before Fang Xingjian and reported, “Sir, as expected, it’s the Black Army’s Grade. He did not receive our reply even after a very long time, so he has now called for a meeting to come to a joint agreement on the jurisdiction of the page from the Book of Wisdom.”
