Chapter 1270 - Reasonable (3) (1/2)

”That's enough.”

At that moment, the room fell into a deep silence. Those of both sides heeded the words of this man because he held the highest moral position here.

Not only had he not participated in soul market, it was also his very own younger brother that they had lost communication with.

He was the current head of the Nova family, and elder brother to Elder Nova.

Despite being the elder of the two, he looked like a 25-year-old man while Elder Nova looked closer to about 60. It was clear that his cultivation was far more profound than his younger brother's, but that didn't make him lose any familial love he had for Elder Nova.

Knowing this, did the previous elder have the right to continue complaining about money and resources when a man had potentially lost his brother?

”Forget the past and leave it be. We're here to move forward and find solutions. Those who should be blamed will be handle later.

”For now, we need to go over what we know.

”Firstly, whoever this enemy is has the ability to deal with or potentially kill my brother, or else this plan of theirs would never have succeeded. Although my younger brother is fairly weak in comparison to true dao formation experts, he is still considered as such and shouldn't be looked down upon. Therefore, take this seriously.

”Secondly, the enemy must be aware of who we are. For them to cut off our path to encroaching upon their gained territory can only mean that they were prepared for the trickle-down effects of their actions.

”The third point falls into two potential categories, however both of which are connected to the information we received about the gate's threshold falling to the essence level.

”The first possibility is that the enemy is fairly weak, likely meaning that they only barely managed to defeat my brother and are aware that they cannot face us outright.

”However, the second possibility is the more serious of the two. There is a possibility that this enemy does have the ability to deal with us, but is apprehensive not because of our power, but rather the power of the employer.

”I believe that we should move forward with the second possibility as our first assumption. We cannot afford to make anymore mistakes.”

Many of the various elders, masters and family heads agreed. After all of this, what they needed was some very straight forward and barebones analysis.

However, many of the sharper individuals who understood the politics of their 99 universes knew that this wasn't over… And just like clockwork, the burly Master of the Profound Earth Sect chuckled lightly.

”I believe you're forgetting another possibility, don't you think, Head Nova?”

Head Nova's eyes sharpened as the temperature of the room seemed to drop several degrees.

”Forgive him for his crude words, Head Nova. But, you have to admit that he is right.”
