A faint light flew out of the top of the City Mansion. This faint light exuded a far more powerful momentum than the two divine men in the sky, rippling a Dao aura actually at Perfection Stage Heavenly Venerate!
His crushing Dao aura stood at the apex among all other Heavenly Venerate existences. And yet, this man didn't dare to exude any overbearing presence. He kept his Dao aura nearly concealed, not wanting to offend these two divine men in the slightest.
The Perfect Stage Heavenly Venerate gave a serene smile despite the fact that these two divine men were wreaking havoc across the city.
The Supreme Elder calmly said, "Esteemed envoys. We are truly trying, but we are severely short on people after the last expedition. We-"
"Oh? Is that right?" One of the divine men coldly snorted.
He moved at light speed, directly stomping down his glistening foot right upon the Supreme Elder's head!
'Bang!'
A sickening crunch boomed into everyone's ears.
Instead of fighting back, the Supreme Elder actually allowed his head to be stepped, the majestic man was then forced into a kneeling position by a Late Stage Heavenly Venerate.
The envoy sadistically spat out, uncaring of the disrespect towards the Supreme Elder.
'This-this...' The citizens of Basilisk City looked on with sick expressions.
lightsΝοvel Many could feel the pangs of humiliation, frustration, and perhaps even killing intent. But any negative feelings were instantly squashed once they reminded themselves just who was stepping on their Supreme Elder.
They could only blame themselves; they were convinced that it could never be the esteemed envoy's fault.
"You're taking a mile from just an inch of generosity!" The envoy's disdainful tone rumbled everyone's minds. "As I said before, the extension deadline has run out. We will see another group down at the Lord's Church. Less you demons want to stay as terrible people for the rest of your long lives?"
"Of course not esteemed envoys. We want to lead better for the future generations. We are willing to accommodate." The Supreme Elder could barely hide his strained smile when speaking.
Enduring humiliation only becomes harder with each passing moment. Heavenly Venerates in his unfathomable realm are simply not built to be in a lower position.
They are all supposed to stand at the very top of the Heavens!
But, when faced against the Great Marvel City, kneeling was the only thing that anyone across Basilisk City could possibly do.
The envoy faintly smiled at the supreme elders' words. He slowly took his foot from his head and took a glance at him before sweeping his gaze down below.
Anyone who came within his gaze violently shuddered, the fear of this envoy was imprinted deep into their souls.
The envoy tossed his gaze back onto the supreme elder, directly stating, "Well then. Since I am not completely merciless, I will give you just a tiny chance. You have until the end of this day to send another group to the Lord's Church. Do not think this sending them into danger. Perhaps this group can finally get lucky this time and purify themselves of their sins."
"Understood esteemed envoy." The supreme elder respectfully said, not even getting up from his kneeling position.
The envoys smirked at each other before taking off into the skies. They were soon out of everyone's sight in only a second.
No overwhelming Dao aura covers the city now. Yet, many had trouble getting up from their kneeling positions.
Sighs of relief breathed through the streets. Divine cultivators alike were just happy that the envoys today didn't go too hard on them.
"I couldn't imagine a repeat like last time. I still get nightmares about those envoys."
"Sir envoys today were...something, but at least they are willing to give chances."
Many divine cultivators were glad that they were given chances, no matter how small they may seem.
Not all divine cultivators of the city were satisfied with this. In fact, many were digging their nails through their palms, struggling to keep in their chaotic storm of rage.
How they wanted to desperately rebel, push back Great Marvel City as they were the trule demons of the region!
But none of them dared to even speak out their thoughts. In utter fear, they kept everything to the deep buried inside their souls.
The supreme elder quickly stood back up at this time. His expression was completely blank, seemingly not affected at all by that humiliation. He simply flashed straight back into the City Mansion.
"How interesting..." Cain quietly murmured.
Naturally, it wasn't the cruel treatment that was interesting, but the fact that Great Marvel City has this impossible hold over the city where even a more powerful Heavenly Venerate doesn't dare to fight back against weaker ones.
'Could be useful to us when we claw our way in.' Kali remarked in a transmission, sounding particularly gleeful at the prospect of new challenges.
'They should be having a meeting by now. Let's see what information we can garner before making any moves.' Luo Na spoke in the transmission.
The dragon duo agrees with her. None of them wants to bother with slowly gathering information just for safety, they already made a big splash by threatening two Council Venerate elders.
The trio stepped right back into the City Mansion lobby, appearing right in front of Jiang Lee and Lan Kui again. They looked around the lobby, noticing that the important figures of the city all wore solemn gazes, all of them knowing that there would be even more changes soon to take place.
"You two..." Elder Hong and Elder Qing slightly jump at the trio's sudden appearance.
Now they were reminded of these mysterious existences with abilities none of them could predict. Combined this with the envoys' domineering visit, the Council Elders could practically feel some of their hair turning gray from stress.
They didn't quite know what situation to address first. Though, in the midst of their swirling thoughts, the elders received a call from their higher-ups.
A purple flash glint in their eyes, their expressions darkening by the second.
Cain, taking notice of their demeanor shift, directly said, "I'm assuming a meeting about what just happened is about to go down? Naturally, we will come with you."
"This...haah...fine. We can't deal with you in any case." Elder Hong relented with a sigh.
He and Elder Qing couldn't disagree, less they want something terrible to happen to their children or the trio to cause any more trouble.
Elder Qing first brought the group down the hallway to a secluded place far away from others. Once here, she ripped open space, bringing up a luxurious chamber being rapidly filled with other Dao lights.
Without any more delay, the Council Elders walked into the open space.
Cain gave the order for Jiang Lee and Lan Kui to follow as they all walked into the same open space, the entrance closing behind them as they entered.
Waves of various, intense Venerate Dao auras instantly assaulted the juniors' divine senses. Venerate Dao principles, all suffocating, above all other beings in the universe filled the entire chamber.
Cain, Kali, and Luo Na detected that there wasn't a single person in this chamber they could even trade blows with. Their only option would be to escape in any form of combat.
Cain's group appeared right next to Elder Hong and Qing when they exited out of the portal. Their appearance caused the surrounding seated Council Elders to direct confused stares at them.
It was a bit puzzling to see Jiang Lee and Lan Kui in such an important meeting, even as they are the top geniuses of the city. But the most baffling of all was the three mysterious black mask trio standing in front of their top geniuses.
The Council Elders intently stared at Elder Hong and Qiing. One of them directly asked, "Elder Hong, Qing. Just what is the meaning of this? We have several important matters to attend to!"
A tight increase in pressure swirled around their area. Lan Kui and Jiang Lee would've fainted if not for their parent's protection. While Cain had his Chaos Energy principles intensely surged to keep their calm.
All the other elders' gazes were on them, but Elder Qing and Hong's gazes remained impassive.
Elder Qing calmly said, "Those three in the black masks have our children hostage with a poisonous pill, are somewhat on par with Early Stage Heavenly Venerates, and cannot be captured faster even with a surprise attack."
