Chapter 1412: This is earth-shattering
Swish!
Pork Rong pushed the door open and shouted, drawing several gazes towards him.
There was Bai Qiyu with his shiny bald head and a cape draped over his shoulders; Li Jin, exuding an aura of righteousness with a longsword on his back; and Hong Fengkuang, whose entire body was wrapped in bandages...
At a glance, they were all the personal disciples of the mister.
There were a full dozen of them!
Even the Fifth Miss was not sitting in the seat of honor.
Sitting quietly on the grand chair was actually the Second Young Master, Wu Tao, who had not shown his face in a long time!
Suddenly being stared at by such a terrifying lineup, Pork Rong was so shocked that he was momentarily speechless. Halfway through his sentence, his voice grew weaker and weaker.
By the time he finished speaking, his tone was already filled with doubt and alarm.
"Something major has happened...?"
In front of these lords, what could possibly be considered "major"?
This was simply nonsense.
All of a sudden.
Pork Rong didn't know how to continue speaking and just stood frozen at the door.
He was sweating profusely, his soul still trembling in fear.
Seeing him in such a state, the people in the room became even more curious.
"So it's you. What's the rush?"
"Weren't you out on a mission? Why did you suddenly come back?"
The seemingly peaceful questions, spoken from the mouths of the terrifying existences filling the room, somehow carried an indescribable might of heaven and earth, terrifying Pork Rong even more.
Accidentally catching sight of Hong Fengkuang's battle-hungry eyes, he was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head in a salute.
Fortunately, Su Yunyun's calm voice rang out in time.
"There is no need to panic."
"As the saying goes, those who do not know are innocent. We will not mind your sudden intrusion. If there is an urgent matter, just take your time and explain."
"If my guess is correct, the only thing that could make you so flustered and anxious must be a change in the Cloud Star that affects our previously laid out plans, right?"
Her opening words stabilized his state of mind, while simultaneously easily pinpointing the problem. Even before Pork Rong could open his mouth, her guess was already spot on.
Su Yunyun was indeed the mastermind of the Shadow Island.
In an instant.
Pork Rong's eyes revealed reverence as he hastily bowed towards the front row. After panting slightly to calm his mind, he truthfully explained everything.
"Fifth Miss is wise!"
"This lowly one rushed here in a hurry because there was indeed an unexpected variable on the Cloud Star."
"Originally, the plan was proceeding smoothly. Long Tian had already been supported as a puppet, and leading the masses into the Demon Realm was about to fall into place. Who knew that the avatars of five ancient sages would suddenly appear? They mistakenly thought that this lowly one was colluding with the Demon Race and successively took action to kill Long Tian, almost causing the overall situation to spiral out of control."
"Although this lowly one luckily deterred them, those were just avatars. If their true bodies come in person in the future, I have absolutely no chance of winning."
"The situation is truly urgent, so this lowly one had no choice but to intrude and report the news. I hope the lords will forgive my rudeness!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The senior and junior brothers in the room nodded slightly.
While exchanging quiet glances, their expressions seemed to grow a bit more serious, and discussions ensued.
"Ancient sages?"
"Even Pork Rong had no confidence in defeating them. It sounds like they do have some skills. It seems they really are the senior predecessors of the Cloud Star."
"What senior predecessors? Coming out to cause trouble for no good reason, I think they are just old and confused."
"You can't put it that way. After all, their knowledge is limited, and they don't know our plans. They aren't really great villains, so there's no need to be hostile."
"But we can't just ignore them either. We can't really let them ruin the grand plan, can we?"
After the flurry of opinions, everyone looked towards Su Yunyun, who was known for her wisdom.
The truth did not disappoint everyone.
In the next moment.
Su Yunyun nodded solemnly, and a countermeasure blurted out from her heart.
"Those ancient existences indeed live up to the title of the Cloud Star's predecessors."
"Previously, they were slumbering outside the mortal realm and had never set foot in the world, so I didn't pay much attention to them. I didn't expect these existences to suddenly awaken and even try to ruin the grand plan. This cannot be tolerated."
"Even though we are all humans and should not slaughter each other unless absolutely necessary, a small punishment is still extremely necessary."
Saying this, Su Yunyun turned to look at the seat of honor.
"Second Senior Brother, what do you think?"
As her words fell, the gazes of everyone in the room gathered towards him.
Wu Tao spat out his toothpick and made the final decision on the spot.
"You're right."
"These old fogeys are acting recklessly just because they have some age on them. We can't spoil them. We must teach them a good lesson, otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause in the future!"
His slightly roguish words were truly satisfying to hear.
More than a dozen senior brothers immediately nodded in agreement, and their battle intent began to radiate!
"Well said, Second Senior Brother!"
"To actually think of disrupting the grand plan of our Shadow Island, they really dare to dream!"
"Having slept for most of their lives, they don't know the immensity of heaven and earth right after waking up, thinking they're so badass. It's really like an old lady getting into bed, making me laugh."
"Beat the crap out of them!"
Just hearing everyone's declarations made Pork Rong feel a wave of fear and trepidation.
He never expected to encounter so many personal disciple lords today. With this matter brought to such a significant table, and even the Second Young Master speaking up, it definitely wouldn't just end there.
What if one of the lords took action personally?
Could the old arms and legs of those ancient sages withstand it?
Oh my goodness...
This was what you called a major event!
Sometimes, the awkward things are exactly what you fear in your heart.
Just a moment after Pork Rong silently muttered to himself, Su Yunyun had already softly given an order towards the door.
"Someone, go invite Sixth Junior Sister to come and discuss matters."
As soon as her words fell, Pork Rong's heart skipped a beat!
Sixth Miss Mo Tianji?
Her divination techniques were unmatched by gods and ghosts. Legend had it that in front of her, all things in heaven and earth could not escape her observation. No matter how capable those ancient sages were, their tracks would probably be exposed.
Thinking of this, Pork Rong suddenly felt an indescribable panic.
Quietly raising his eyes, he saw that the lords in the conference room were already rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, especially Hong Fengkuang, whose eyes even showed an unspeakable excitement, making his heart pound with fear.
It's over...
Those old predecessors are definitely going to be taught a lesson!
Within a few breaths.
Mo Tianji stepped softly into the conference room, holding an exquisite notebook in her hand, exuding a profound aura of a top student. She smiled and took a seat in the front row, greeting everyone.
After a few pleasantries, Su Yunyun got straight to the point.
"Sixth Junior Sister."
"Now that the grand plan has reached a critical moment, five old predecessors of the Cloud Star have come out to cause trouble. We must teach them a lesson to prevent any unexpected complications. Can you calculate where their true bodies are located?"
Hearing this, Mo Tianji smiled and nodded.
"What's so difficult about that?"
"I have recently been studying the mathematical classics left by Master, and I have a deeper understanding of complex and real variables. I can calculate the whereabouts of any existence within the galaxy in an instant."
Everyone felt it sounded profound and mysterious, and the anticipation in their eyes grew stronger.
Under the attention of the whole room.
Mo Tianji opened her notebook, held a pencil, and began to write and draw.
Within a few breaths, she smiled and looked up.
"Mm. It is exactly as Fifth Senior Sister said. The Cloud Star indeed has five extraordinary auras hidden in different secret realms. I have already calculated their specific locations."
Wow!
These words drew gasps of amazement from the entire room, and many were already itching to make a move!
"As expected of Sixth Senior Sister!"
"Sixth Senior Sister's calculation techniques seem to have reached an even higher level!"
"Since we've found the locations of those five old fools, let's get moving!"
"Yes! Let them witness what true art really is!"
Seeing the fighting spirit rising throughout the room, Wu Tao also nodded at Su Yunyun.
The next moment.
Su Yunyun pondered for a moment, looking around at her fellow martial brothers, and immediately began assigning tasks.
"Alright."
"Since everyone's fighting spirit is running high, we might as well step forward and test our skills to ensure the success of our grand plan."
"However, many of us still have important matters to attend to, so we can only choose those who have some free time. The suitable candidates present are only Second Senior Brother, Tenth Junior Brother, and Eighteenth Junior Brother..."
As her voice fell, figures stood up one after another.
Wu Tao.
Bai Qiyu.
Li Jin!
The last to stand was Hong Fengkuang, a sight that made even the other martial brothers' mouths twitch!
Good heavens.
What the hell kind of lineup was this?
Looking at the terrifying figures standing up, Pork Rong began to feel a bit of regret. He secretly thought that things had gotten way out of hand, not even daring to imagine how tragic the upcoming scene would be. He even felt a bit of secret sympathy for those ancient sages.
At this moment, Su Yunyun found herself in a dilemma.
"Right now, only four brothers are stepping forward. It seems we are short of one person. How about one of you reluctantly takes on two opponents?"
To everyone's surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Wu Tao slightly shook his head.
"No."
"Fifth Junior Sister, doing that is still not secure enough."
"Even if those five old fools aren't that impressive, they still have some experience and definitely possess quite a few life-saving trump cards. What if one of them escapes because we are short-handed?"
"This operation concerns our grand plan. There cannot be the slightest mistake. Even a one-in-a-billion chance of failure is absolutely unacceptable!"
The moment he said this, everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
Even Su Yunyun nodded with a look of shame. After careful consideration, she spoke again.
"Second Senior Brother is right. I was indeed not being cautious enough."
"Since there are no suitable candidates present, let's look at the brothers who didn't attend the meeting. After much thought, I believe the Five Heaven-Burying Brothers are extremely suitable."
"Although their cultivation is slightly inferior, the five brothers are united and have perfect teamwork. If they strike together, there shouldn't be any unexpected variables. It can be considered a safe choice."
Hearing this, Wu Tao nodded in satisfaction.
"Yes, that is a good proposal. Let those five junior brothers strike together. Being steady and cautious is the true way. We must nip any potential risks in the bud before they even have a chance to form."
Once the discussion was concluded.
The group of experts confirmed their respective targets and set off. The fifth team was particularly exaggerated, consisting of a full five people, and they were even carrying a pitch-black coffin!
Watching from the window as several streaks of light vanished into the night sky, Pork Rong silently rubbed his forehead and turned his face away.
Sigh...
The Second Young Master was simply too cautious.
This lineup was just ridiculously overpowered!
Let alone fighting back, the targets probably wouldn't even have a sliver of a chance to escape.
He really couldn't be blamed for intentionally stirring up trouble and screwing over those old seniors. Who could have imagined that so many big shots would gather together, and with just a few words, escalate the situation to this extent...
Mother of God.
This wasn't just a major incident.
They had practically pierced a hole through the heavens!
He only hoped that Elder Jiang and the other seniors could look out for themselves.
