"Uh, there's no sign of World Destroyer, but his soul lamp hasn't gone out. He hasn't returned either."
A brief silence fell behind the curtain, tinged with anger. Then a deep voice spoke: "What is that good-for-nothing doing?"
The subordinate remained silent.
After a long while, the voice behind the curtain continued, "Go on."
"Yes, sir."
"Envoy, sir."
"Our spies hidden outside the Heaven and Earth Sect's island have gathered some information through indirect means and rumors."
"In the past two days, an important figure has returned to the Heaven and Earth Sect. If our guess is correct, it should be the master of the island."
"After returning, he seems to have activated a large number of Jade Tablets, summoning his personal disciples back to the island."
"Oh?" An surprised sound came from behind the curtain.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a reaction to the Ten Heavenly Enforcers entering the island, isn't it?"
"It seems that although the Ten Heavenly Enforcers died, they've still caused significant pressure and impact. At the very least, the sect must have sensed our presence and perceived the danger and pressure. That's why the master had to return personally and gather his disciples."
"It looks like they're getting anxious!"
"I suspect they're currently discussing how to deal with us."
"The Envoy is most perceptive," the subordinate flattered. Just then, a Jade Tablet flickered.
He took out the Jade Tablet to receive the message, his eyes brightening. He quickly reported, "Just as the Envoy predicted, our spies have observed from the outskirts that an unprecedented gathering of core members is taking place on the island. They're currently on a boat floating on the lake, seemingly discussing something important."
"The island's master might be among them as well."
"This is the scene reported from there, for the Envoy's review."
The lake breeze blew, cool and comfortable.
On such a fine day, Yi Feng naturally invited the group of old men on the island for a gathering.
They took a boat out, each with a fishing rod.
While fishing, they chatted about gossip.
"Let me tell you, sir," one old man said, "that boar in our backyard, if you just lead him around the island once, all the other sows will definitely go crazy for him... Just last time, we bred him with Old Man Li's old sow, and she gave birth to eighteen piglets in one litter. That's how impressive he is."
"Nonsense! What does it have to do with your boar if my sow gives birth to many piglets?" another old man couldn't help but retort.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. What's so interesting about talking about pigs? Let's gossip instead," Old Man Wang said in a low voice. "Do you know that Liu the Gossip from the street entrance and Zhang the Lame from the end of the street have hooked up?"
"And not only that, but they were caught in the act by Pork Rong."
"Oh?"
"Quick, tell us what happened!"
Yi Feng's interest was immediately piqued.
"Shh, keep your voices down. Let me tell you all about it. It was on a dark and windy night..."
Upon hearing this, everyone leaned in with curious and tense expressions.
As they listened to Old Man Wang's tale, they frowned at times and gasped at others.
The atmosphere was incredibly lively.
"Haha..."
"Just as I expected," came a cold laugh from behind the curtain, full of disdain.
"But what use is their strategizing?"
"In the face of absolute power, everything else is an illusion."
"Look at how nervous they are. If they knew it would come to this, why did they act as they did in the first place?"
"From the moment they began to compete with our lord for karmic fortune, their fate was sealed. The Ten Heavenly Enforcers were merely a small warning to them."
"The real show is yet to come. When the others return from different planes, we'll deal with them at our leisure!"
