Chapter 365 (1/2)
”We have come as you ordered Patriarch.”
”Greetings Elders.”
A small group of old men were bowing before a certain individual. This man was writing something onto a scroll with impeccable penmanship.
”This will do, bring this scroll to our allies.”
The parchment was promptly sealed and given to one of the men here. The man that received this letter could see the intricate dragon design that was stamped onto the seal of this scroll.
”It shall be done.”
”Is everything ready? I don't think that I have to remind you that we must not fail, if something goes wrong then we will have to suffer the wrath of an enraged Azure Emperor.”
The man that was named the Patriarch commented while taking a seat. The others followed suit as everyone sat down together around a table.
”There is one problem…”
”What is it? Spit it out!”
The man that commented swallowed hard and then continued.
”It's about the Patriarch's Grandson…”
The old Patriarch's brows shot up high and he promptly slammed down his fist on the table.
”What did he do now, tell me.”
”It's not much, more of the same. He has heard rumors of a beauty from one of the middle-sized sects and he wishes to take her into his harem…”
The old Patriarch gave out a sigh before leaning back.
”Is it just that? I thought that part of his character would m_a_t_u_r_e just as his cultivation did. Is there a problem with this particular sect?”
”Yes, the woman in question is their Patriarch's wife, this individual, in particular, is revered as one of the rising stars in the region. Normally it would not be a concern but we might suffer casualties if we engage in battle. It would be better to wait till after our plan is carried out but the esteemed junior doesn't want to see reason, he is blinded by l_u_s_t. Maybe Patriarch could talk some sense into him?”
”Aye, the boy's hobby is hard to satiate but even I am having trouble controlling him. He has grown strong, so strong that I can't even foretell what heights he might reach… it is as if he is our ancestor reborn, we need him for the plan to work…”
Soon the old man nodded with his head as the decision was made.
”Lend him some of the supreme elders and go take care of it, it's just a middle-sized sect even if their Patriarch is at the epitome of the nascent soul, he will not pose a problem, take care of it! We still have some time left.”
”As you wish, Patriarch, it will be carried out swiftly.”
Soon the meeting ended and the old man that brought up the Patriarch's grandson was approached by some other people.
”Elder Tong, how did it go?”
”Not well, the old Patriarch favors his grandson, we must appease his urges once again, send word to the supreme elders we will move out, as always…”
The man that approached this elder also gave out a sigh while shaking his head.
”I will do as Elder Tong commands, the elders will be ready by tomorrow. What about the esteemed junior?”
”Don't worry, I'll talk to him…”
The two men nodded at each other and they parted ways. The man named Tong then floated out of the meeting place that was taking place in a large tower-like structure. He glanced back at this tower which had a giant dragon coiling around it.
Right at the top was the dragon's head that was open. Right there was a giant radiant orb, this orb was producing massive spiritual fluctuations that fused into the sect's protective barrier.
If someone would fly out beyond the barrier they would quickly notice the true meaning behind this treasure. The whole sect was floating off the ground, the barrier covered the whole set of mountain peaks that made all of it up.
Tong quickly soared towards one of these mountain peaks. The moment he arrived he could tell the changes that were done to it by its newest master. The scantily clad female disciples and lack of male disciples was a dead giveaway. Even the servants were all of the female variety. Unless a person was an established elder they were barred from entering this place.
Tong here was one of these supreme elders that could not be stopped even by the new peak master that resided here.
”Greetings elder, should I deliver a message to the Peak Lord?”
”That won't be needed, I would request a meeting with the peak lord, free of others.”
The beauty that approached this old man lowered her head for a moment before speaking out.
