Outside the Seven Lords Palace.
Two elders, one dressed in black and the other in white, were deep in thought as they played chess. A white letter was casually placed on a corner of the chessboard, stained with tea.
They did not pass on Elder Jiu's letter.
Swoosh!
Two figures flew over. They looked at each other, then continued playing chess as if nothing had happened. They did not care about the two elders at all, even if one of them was a descendant of the Great Lord.
"Give me the letter!" The Heavenly Water Tower's Master was furious. This was not the first time she had experienced their arrogance. However, seeing that they did not even pass on the letter, she became even angrier.
The white-robed elder did not move. He was completely focused on the chessboard and did not hear anything.
As for the letter, he did not even look at it.
"You!" The Heavenly Water Tower's Master was furious. She walked over and removed the dirty letter. Then, she said coldly, "Alright, I want to see what you two have to say later!"
Feeling humiliated, the Heavenly Water Tower's Master entered the Seven Lords Palace.
Her identity was special, so the two elders did not stop her. However, they glanced at Bai Chong.
Bai Chong knew what they wanted, so he waited outside. He did not have the right to enter the Seven Lords Palace as he pleased.
Inside the Seven Lords Palace, seven cube-shaped light screens were floating in the air. Each of them was only the size of a palm.
They were arranged in a certain order, from the lowest to the highest.
No one knew that each of the seven palm-sized light screens represented the existence of a Great Lord!
The light screens were personally set up by the King of Darkness. Each one of them was an independent space. Unless it was opened from the inside, it would be indestructible!
The seven spaces were connected to the Empire of Darkness' ten thousand years of history. The spiritual energy within them was astonishing. Cultivating within them for one day was equivalent to cultivating for ten days in the outside world.
The Seven Lords of Darkness were cultivating within them.
"Greetings, Seven Great Lords. I have something to report and would like to meet you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the five palm-sized light screens started to spin silently. Blurry black figures appeared indistinctly.
The black figures were extremely mysterious.
"Why are you disturbing our cultivation?" A strand of extremely indistinct voice that overlapped and overlapped, and its source couldn't be detected. It was extremely indistinct, and it was unknown which Sage Monarch it came from.
The Heavenly Water Tower's Master's heart tightened as she presented the letter with both hands. "This is a letter left behind by the Heavenly Law Alliance Master, Su Yu. Please have a look."
She glanced at the two screens at the top, and her eyes were filled with disappointment. Her grandfather, the Great Lord, and the Second Lord, who were of the highest status, were not present.
"Borrowing soldiers? Sorry, we already know that. Do you really think this is your home to disturb us over such a small matter? Even if you're a descendant of the Great Lord, you should know what's important. " It was the Third Lord, who had been spared by Su Yu.
Shui Tian had no respect for him at all. His face was cold as he said, "Your injuries have healed so quickly? You're so quick with your words. "
Immediately, Shui Tian sensed a pair of cold and gloomy eyes, and he could clearly feel a great deal of humiliation and annoyance.
"Oh? Is the Third Lord injured? "The other four black shadows in the light screens shook.
The Heavenly Water Tower's Master smiled but did not say anything. "Four Great Lords, this letter is for the King. Please pass it on to him. This matter is very important and cannot be delayed any longer."
"The King? Shui Tian, the King is not interested in foreign affairs, so this letter cannot reach him. Just pass it to us. If there's nothing else, you can leave now. "A suction force took the letter away.
From their tone, the Heavenly Water Tower's Master could tell that they were being perfunctory. She became anxious.
As expected, the higher-ups of the Empire of Darkness had never taken the Heavenly Law Alliance seriously. Su Yu did not think much of them either.
"Great Lords, I repeat that his letter is very important. We must pass it to the King," the Heavenly Water Tower's Master said firmly.
Hearing this, the few Great Lords who were eager to continue their training became slightly impatient.
"Shui Tian, we are willing to stop our training and meet you because you are a descendant of the Great Lord. However, if this is just an insignificant matter, I hope it will not happen again. That's all I have to say. You may leave now." The overlapping voices filled the space as a gentle force wrapped around the Heavenly Water Tower's Master and gently pushed her away.
Seeing that they would not listen to her, the Heavenly Water Tower's Master gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, there are some things that I wanted to only let my grandfather know. Now, there's no harm in letting you know first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately told them all the secrets that she had found out about.
In an instant, the gentle force around her retreated.
The five figures swayed as if they were communicating with each other telepathically.
After a while, five rumbling sounds could be heard. The five black figures broke free from the space and flew down, revealing their true forms.
Five men and women of different ages, dressed in different clothes, had revealed their true faces.
Outside, the Black and White Elders, who were deep in thought while playing chess, were shocked at the same time.
"What happened? Why did the five Great Lords come out at the same time?" The white-robed elder was shocked.
The black-robed elder was slightly uneasy. "The last time the five Great Lords came out at the same time was three years ago. Could something big have happened?"
Recalling the threat that Shui Tian had made before she left, the two of them frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Shui Tian, do you have any proof of what you said?" The white-haired elder, who was the oldest of the five Great Lords, asked as he stroked his long beard.
The other four Great Lords, especially the Third Lord, were the most concerned.
"I don't have any proof. I only know that the news came from the higher-ups of the Heavenly Law Alliance. Very few people know about it." The Heavenly Water Tower's Master's eyes were resolute. "However, it is better to believe it than not. Su Yu's abilities cannot be estimated with common sense."
Hearing this, the Great Lords fell into deep thought.
The Third Lord heaved a sigh of relief and said coldly, "How dare you disturb our training with such a nonsensical matter? Wouldn't it be a joke if word got out? "
Killing a God Lord was a fantasy story, so they naturally would not easily believe it.
"We know about this. We will talk about it after the Great Lord wakes up." The bearded elder shook his head, looking disappointed. He turned around and was about to fly back to the light screen to train.
The other Great Lords flew up as well.
However, right at that moment …
The two light screens, which had been motionless all this time, suddenly emitted a terrifying wave of energy.
Two black figures appeared.
The figures were blurry, and only their silhouettes could be seen. They were the legendary Great Lord and the Second Lord. They were the two mysterious Great Lords who were second only to the King of Darkness.
It was said that they had started training almost at the same time as the King of Darkness and had not appeared for hundreds of years.
At the very most, they had only appeared three years ago when the world changed and they had to stop training.
No one knew how terrifying their strength was.
Now, they had appeared again.
The Black and White Elders, who were standing outside, were shocked.
"The Great Lord and the Second Lord have woken up!"
Swoosh, swoosh —
Without hesitation, the two of them flew into the light screen.
"Welcome to the Great Lord and the Second Lord!" The Black and White Elders were panicking. What news did the Heavenly Water Tower's Master bring to awaken these two powerful Great Lords?
They did not need to be so respectful to the other five Great Lords. However, these two Great Lords were the real rulers and the strongest Great Lords!
"Give me the letter." The Great Lord's voice was old and majestic. It was clear that he was emotionless, but everyone could feel an oppressive aura.
The bearded elder's expression was also stern. He presented the letter with both hands respectfully, but at the same time, he felt uneasy.
The letter landed in the hands of the black figure. He did not open it, but scanned the letter.
"Jiu Yuanzhou …" The Great Lord's aged voice reverberated in everyone's ears, and everyone who heard it felt a chill down their spines.
"Sheng Yuan, I let you handle this matter. Is this how you handle it? How disappointing. "
The bearded elder's expression changed. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Great Lord. I did not know that this letter was important."
His heart was filled with shock. Even the other Great Monarchs were shocked as they stared at the letter in bewilderment.
"Jiu Yuanzhou was an expert who could fight against the King of Darkness in the past. His letter must be something important. How dare you keep it?" The Great Lord's tone was stern.
The bearded elder's face turned pale.
Someone who could fight against the King of Darkness? What kind of expert was Jiu Yuanzhou?
"Although his cultivation level has deteriorated and he is not as powerful as he was in the past, he is not someone you can keep. Face the wall outside for three years and reflect on your mistakes," the Great Lord said expressionlessly.
The bearded elder was frightened. He felt wronged. How could he know who Jiu Yuanzhou was?
He had been careless and had to face the wall for three years. He would not be able to cultivate for three years, and his cultivation level would definitely be surpassed by another Great Lord.
"Great Lord, I have just received this letter." The bearded elder had no choice but to defend himself.
The Great Lord did not speak. He looked at the letter again. The tea stains and the marks left by the chessboard came into view.
"Black and White elders, where is the messenger?" The Great Lord looked past the bearded elder and at the Black and White elders.
Plop!
The Black and White elders' faces turned pale. It was as if the end of the world had come. Their backs were already drenched in sweat.
"Grandfather, the Black and White Elders are too strict. The messenger was stopped at the door by them. He didn't even get to see the Great Sage. He has already left." The Heavenly Water Tower's Master glanced at the two old men whose faces were as red as pig's liver.
Usually, their noses were in the air and they looked down on everyone. Now, they had finally tasted bitterness.
The Great Lord's black figure moved. "How long did he keep this letter?" he asked.
"Half a day." The Black and White elders' faces were even uglier than a dead man's. Under the Great Lord's pressure, they trembled as they replied.
How could they have known that this letter had such a powerful background?
"Does this mean that the Heavenly Water Tower did not send a message? Do you intend to keep this letter forever?" The Great Lord's tone was sharp.
"Great Lord, please spare our lives. We … we did not mean to …" The Black and White elders immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. They banged their heads on the bluestone floor, and blood appeared on their foreheads. It was clear that they were panicking and terrified.
