"Elder of the Realm …" Hearing Ling Dong's doubts, the Right Minister's voice paused for a moment. He was lost in thought for a moment before he said, "Elder of the Realm is actually very simple. It's just a title. It's like most of the powerful elders and protectors in the sect."
"Elders and protectors?" Ling Dong thought for a moment. "So, there are a lot of Elders of the Realm?"
"No!" Right Minister Halcyon shook his head. "Very few. There are only three Elders of the Realm in the entire Vermilion Bird Sector!" Right Minister Halcyon extended three fingers to Ling Dong.
"There are only three in the entire Vermilion Bird Sector?" Ling Dong was a bit surprised. Any mid-sized sect could have four or five or even six or seven elders. How big was the entire Vermilion Bird Sector? The Vermilion Bird Sector had eight star realms under it. Each star realm was at least as big as the Long An Border in terms of scale. There were only three Elders of the Realm?
"Heh, the requirements to become an Elder of the Realm are extremely high! For example, if the Left Minister and I are lucky enough to live for another one or two thousand years without dying, and our cultivation can reach the peak of General Zhou Tianshen, then we can become the fourth or fifth Elder of the Vermilion Bird Sector. "
"Cultivation must reach the peak of General Zhou Tianshen? And must come from the management of the Vermilion Bird Sector? "Ling Dong keenly grasped the two most important points.
However, Ling Dong, who had judged this point, was also puzzled. If the lowest cultivation of the Vermilion Bird Sector's Elders was the peak of General Zhou Tianshen, then what was the cultivation of the Vermilion Bird Matriarch?
Ling Dong vaguely remembered that the Vermilion Bird Matriarch had said that she hadn't been able to take that step. What was that step?
Hearing this, Right Minister Halcyon revealed a look of appreciation towards Ling Dong. "That's right. Now, you should understand the status of the Elders of the Vermilion Bird Sector. In fact, if it weren't for this crisis, the three Elders of the Realm wouldn't have shown themselves … "Right Minister Halcyon sighed.
"If the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's residence is overseen by the Realm Elder, then what about the Vermillion Bird Matriarch and the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch?" Ling Dong asked.
Hearing Ling Dong's question, the Right Minister Halcyon's gaze involuntarily drifted to the side. Just as he was about to speak, the Left Minister hurriedly said the moment he received a formation light, "The elder of the Illusory Wave Region has received a message. The palace has already opened, let's hurry over. If we are late and anger the elder of the Illusory Wave Region, you and I will both suffer!"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Right Prime Minister Halcyon to respond, the Left Prime Minister rushed toward the back of the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's palace. Right Prime Minister Halcyon silently brought Ling Dong and quickly followed. There was no need to talk about the others.
While walking quickly, the Left Minister began to instruct, "Ling Dong, when you see the elder of the Phantom Waves Realm, answer whatever he asks. Remember not to talk nonsense."
Ling Dong silently nodded. He couldn't help but be curious about the elder of the Phantom Waves Realm. He was so powerful that just by meeting him, he was able to make the Left and Right Ministers of the Vermillion Bird Star System so nervous.
Right Minister Halcyon seemed to have seen through Ling Dong's thoughts. "Ling Dong, you might not know this, but when the elder of the Phantom Waves Realm left his position as Left Minister, my cultivation had just entered the Star Transformation Realm. You should understand how we feel right now."
"What about the other two Realm Elders? Why didn't you report to them? Or is the elder of the Phantom Waves Realm the highest among the three Realm Elders? "Ling Dong asked Right Minister Halcyon as he tried to obtain as much information as possible.
"You're wrong about that! Although the three Realm Elders of the Vermillion Bird Star System aren't ranked high or low, in the eyes of most people, they are ranked high or low. For example, the elder of the Phantom Waves Realm is ranked third among the three Realm Elders of the Vermillion Bird Star System. However, although everyone knows this, no one dares to call him one of the three Realm Elders. They only call him the elder of the Phantom Waves Realm. "Right Minister Halcyon patiently explained to Ling Dong.
"Ranked third? What about the other two Realm Elders? Don't we need to ask them? "Ling Dong asked casually.
"It's not that we don't need to ask them, but the other two Realm Elders aren't here. The other two powerful Realm Elders are like the Vermillion Bird Ancestor and the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch. They are at the border of the Vermillion Bird Star System. As for the elder of the Phantom Waves Realm, he is in charge of the Vermillion Bird Star System. So, you understand, "Right Minister Halcyon added.
"Oh!" Ling Dong softly said, "Lord Right Minister, what is going on with the rebellion in the Vermillion Bird Star System? Can you explain it to me in detail? "
Even the Vermillion Bird Ancestor, the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch, and the other two Realm Elders were at the border of the Vermillion Bird Star System. All of this made Ling Dong extremely curious. Just who was it that caused such a big mess and caused the Vermillion Bird Star System to be in such a terrible state?
Ever since Ling Dong had arrived at the Vermillion Bird Star System, he had been swept into the maelstrom that was the Vermillion Bird Star System. Ling Dong really wanted to know what the source of all this was.
Where did the rebellion start?
Just how chaotic was the Vermillion Bird Star System right now?
"The rebellion in the Vermillion Bird Star System is a long story. Speaking of which, it has something to do with the Millennium Elite Battle you participated in … "
Just as Ling Dong was about to listen, the Left Minister, who was in front of them, shouted in an extremely unhappy tone, "We're here. Be quiet!"
Ling Dong didn't care, but the Right Minister, Halcyon, immediately shut his mouth and looked ahead with a serious expression.
"I'll have to trouble the two of you to report that Xu Jiangyue and Halcyon have important matters to discuss with the Realm Elders." When they arrived in front of a large hall, the Left Minister, Xu Jiangyue, who held great power in the Vermillion Bird Star System, had no choice but to wait at the door and speak to the arrogant martialist. Ling Dong couldn't help but reveal a trace of astonishment.
Perhaps it was because he saw the astonishment on Ling Dong's face, but at the same time, the Right Minister's voice rang out in Ling Dong's mind. "These two are the unofficial disciples of the Realm Lord of Illusion Wave. You absolutely cannot offend them! Now that the war has started, the Left Minister and I are only in name. In the Vermillion Bird Star System, we are purely in charge of logistics.
However, what kind of logistics could a martial army need? Now you should understand why the Left Minister was so anxious that you wiped out a quarter of the patrol battalion, right? "
Ling Dong nodded without batting an eyelid. However, he suddenly felt that the Right Minister, Halcyon, was being too attentive? Or was he really taking care of him?
"The Realm Elder has ordered that if you all arrive, you can directly enter. The Realm Elder is already waiting for you." The Left Minister, who was holding the Realm Elder in name, said rather arrogantly. After the Left Minister thanked him, he led the group of people into the large hall.
The hall was very empty and very large. It was filled with the aura of a Spirit Array. At the very end of the hall was a high platform. An old man with white eyebrows was sitting cross-legged on the high platform. Beside the old man was a black-clothed martial artist whose age could not be determined from his eyes.
The black-clothed martialist had been staring at Ling Dong and the others ever since they entered. His eyes were filled with deterrence.
"Xu Jiangyue (Halcyon) greets the Realm Elder!" When they were about a hundred meters away from the old man with white eyebrows, the Left Minister and Right Minister, Halcyon, bowed deeply. With the cultivation and status of the Left Minister and Right Minister, this was already a great gesture.
Seeing the Left and Right Prime Minister act in this manner, Ling Dong and the rest, including the Patrol Camp Commander Qu, followed suit and bowed deeply towards the white-browed and drooping cheeks region elder.
"How dare you! How rude!" Just as Ling Dong and the others bowed, the black-clothed martialist behind the Realm Elder suddenly shouted. His eyes moved and two rays of brilliance appeared out of thin air, fiercely exploding towards Ling Dong and Gao Yuan.
"Two insignificant half-step Zhou Tian Orthodox Gods, how dare you not kneel?"
Ling Dong's expression turned cold as a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth. He really didn't care about an early Zhou Tianshen Envoy.
He raised his left hand slightly and the Star Manipulation in his palm spun. A blue brilliance of the Water Manipulation Star sprinkled out and blocked the two rays of brilliance that were attacking him and Gao Yuan.
Seeing that Ling Dong actually dared to block his punishing attack, the black-clothed martialist's eyes widened. The aura around his body fluctuated and he was about to explode. The Realm Elder with white eyebrows and drooping cheeks suddenly said, "Wu Zhong, forget it. This old man doesn't care about these empty formalities …"
The Realm Elder with white eyebrows and drooping cheeks sighed. The black-clothed martialist named Wu Zhong's angry expression suddenly disappeared. He bowed and said, "I will follow Master's instructions."
"Jiangyue, Halcyon, this old man already knows what you said in the talisman. However, this matter is very important! This old man still has to ask a few questions. "
The Realm Elder's voice was extremely gentle. It was like a spring breeze caressing one's face.
"Your name is Ling Dong?"
"Realm Elder, this junior's name is Ling Dong!" Ling Dong carefully replied. Although the Realm Elder's words gave off the feeling of a spring breeze caressing one's face, it also gave Ling Dong an instinctive feeling of extreme danger.
"Why did you come to the Vermillion Bird Star Domain from the He Safe Boundary? In addition, the Vermillion Bird Assembly Order has been issued for more than thirty years. Since you already sensed it, why didn't you return earlier? Why did you wait until more than thirty years after the Vermillion Bird Assembly Order was issued before you returned to the Vermillion Bird Star Domain? Why did you ruthlessly slaughter three hundred soldiers of the patrol camp? "The Realm Elder calmly asked a series of questions.
Ling Dong's expression didn't change, but his heart trembled. This Realm Elder was extremely shrewd. The moment he opened his mouth, he immediately asked the key point of Ling Dong's trip.
After pondering for a moment, Ling Dong decided to tell the truth!
Ling Dong did not have the confidence to lie in front of this Elder of the Illusory Wave Region, who made him feel an extreme sense of danger. Ling Dong did not have the confidence to deceive this extremely shrewd Elder of the Illusory Wave Region.
"Realm Elder, the matter of this kid's return was actually extremely complicated! Back then, this kid received a secret order to go to the Central Town Star Domain to open up a star realm. I had been isolated from the rest of the world, so there was almost no news of the Vermillion Bird Star Domain. It wasn't until recently that I heard about the changes in the Vermillion Bird Star Domain that I thought of returning. After searching for a long time, I finally found the smuggled star realm in the He Safe Boundary. I didn't expect to discover such a shocking secret.
"Just as this kid returned to the Vermillion Bird Star Domain, I was repeatedly schemed against. In order to survive, this kid had to resort to such bloody methods. Realm Elder should know what happened after that." Ling Dong's words were reasonable and neither servile nor overbearing.
Hearing this, Phantom Wave Realm's elder didn't immediately respond. Instead, he pondered for a while before nodding and asking, "This old man is also aware of this matter. Back then, who ordered you to open up the Star Boundary?"
"Realm Elder, this kid was ordered by the Wood Puppet Realm's Heavenly Lord Di …"
"A bunch of nonsense!" Before Ling Dong's voice had even landed, a cultivator in scarlet armor strode into the hall and pointed at Ling Dong as he sternly reprimanded him!
