“Archbishop, terrible news! Countless powerful forces are gathering miles outside the Sect, including those from Pseudo-Sol Holy Land, the Apollo Empire, and the Ancient Age Clan. It seems they’re planning a siege on us!”
In the meantime, during a discussion between the Supreme Stygian Archbishop and the other elders in the Palace of Supreme Stygian Holy Land, a disciple nervously barged in and reported, obviously startled. After all, the matter was indeed urgent.
Although the daunting forces were gathering miles outside the Sect, he was already intimidated by the horrifying movements from afar. Even though Supreme Stygian Holy Land had claimed themselves to be the most prominent force in the entirety of Eastern Barren, it was only inevitable for its residents to fear the assault of so many experienced forces.
With that, after laying out the matter, the disciple grew even more shocked when he was met with the unaffected—calm, even—faces of the Archbishop and the elders. There wasn’t even a trace of fear or surprise on their faces.
“That’s it? How are you going to lead the holy land if you’re startled by such a minor matter?” Against his expectations, one of the elders reprimanded with a scowl. Judging by the elder’s face, he seemed awfully uninterested in the fact that gigantic forces were preparing for a siege.
“Archbishop, you are truly insightful to bring Prince Gu to our side after predicting such an event.” At that moment, the rest of the elders began chortling as they gratified the Archbishop.
Visibly, the Archbishop was gladdened by their favoring eyes and praising words. However, as the Archbishop of Supreme Stygian Holy Land, he had to remain stern, and so he waved his hand and faintly said, “After the passing of our Supreme Elder, Supreme Stygian Holy Land was put in an unstable, dire situation. Nonetheless, it was all thanks to Prince Gu’s visit for training that I was able to make him our ally. Thus, you should all save your gratitude for Prince Gu.” As he spoke of that, smugness surged in the Archbishop’s heart.
Essentially, the young master came from the Beyond with his remarkable identity and formidable background. Such information was only divulged to a group of elders and trustworthy Sect Disciples, while the rest was left out of the loop. Right now, the Archbishop was waiting to greet his attackers with a big surprise. Of course, the Archbishop himself was also an extremely tactful person, given that he had foreseen the siege that was to happen today.
“Archbishop, the Saintess seems to have gotten acquainted with Prince Gu lately. Without the Saintess, I fear Supreme Stygian Holy Land isn’t going to get out of this assault.”
“Indeed, indeed. It is all thanks to the Archbishop for having raised such a wonderful daughter!” The elders proceeded to flatter the Archbishop, deepening the smile on his face.
Indeed, their success wouldn’t have been actualized if it weren’t for Su Qingge. Otherwise, there was no way mere humans like them could ever draw in a higher being like Gu Changge.
Upon the exchange between the Archbishop and the elders, the disciple who came to report the news was thoroughly dumbfounded. [The Supreme Elder had passed away? And is that mysterious young master actually as mighty as they described?]
