Ming Chen's face was gloomy soon after he left Phoenix nest.
"Ming Chen, what will he have to report when we get back?" A man beside him asked worriedly. This man was Nangong Ming, who has served the Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation for such a long time.
"I don't know! I doubt that the Phoenix Clan can actually kill the Evil Spirit Ancestor, but there is a possibility that they found a Saint King that was capable of doing that!" Ming Chen said as his face clearly showed discontent.
Now he didn't know what to report back to Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation as he knew that it was a setback to their plan now that the Evil Spirit Ancestor was dead!
"I think the Phoenix Lord lied earlier. There is no way the Evil Spirit Ancestor could be killed that easily!" Nangong Ming said solemnly.
"I want to say the same thing, but what if he really was dead?" Ming Chen asked worriedly.
Nangong Ming couldn't say anything else as he knew that he couldn't confirm it himself! None of them wanted to incur the Holy King's wrath, although it wasn't their fault, the King would punish them nonetheless!
"How could a human kill our Ancestor?" Nangong Ming asked in disbelief as he never met a human that strong!
"It doesn't matter right now! the problem is, how will we report the situation back to Heavenly Netherworld?" Ming Chen asked worriedly.
"This is all because of you! if you at least ask less compensation in that negotiation, we would've already saved Evil Spirit Ancestor by now!" Nangong Ming said accusatively.
"You are there too, aren't you? Did you say anything to change my mind? This is as much as your fault as mine!" Ming Chen said angrily.
Nangong Ming was silent once more as he also knew that it was true. This was all because they were too greedy before even though they had to get into Phoenix Cave no matter what!
"Damn it! There is no other way! We can only report back to Heavenly Netherworld now. Our fate was in Holy King's hands now!" Nangong Ming said as he shook his head and tried to calm himself down. This was partly his fault; he had to be a man and own it!
......
"We are going to sneak into the Heavenly Netherworld. We will steal the resources inside the Treasure Trove as it was where Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation's main resource was stored! So, our priority is to get inside safely and unnoticed!" Lord Bai said to the Elders who have gathered once more. "But before we continue, Divine Envoy has said that he knows of a way to get inside this place, so I'll leave it to him to lead this time!" Lord Bai said confidently.
"Are you sure? That place is dangerous! You might die there, you know? It is better to leave it to us and draw us a map instead!" Shopkeeper Ye said as he was worried about Yi Tianyun's safety.
"Don't worry, Elder Ye. I won't drag you down! In fact, you may find my presence more useful, if anything. That place was littered by Divine Runes, and to get inside smoothly, you need a Divine Rune Master!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.
"Divine Envoy's word was right; if the place could be infiltrated so easily, the Heavenly Netherworld Divine Nation's resources should've been depleted already! So, I would like you three to be Divine Envoy's guards in some sort. We definitely need him to go there!" Lord Bai said commandingly to Elder Ye, Elder Lei, and Elder Luo.
"Fair enough, but we have to see Divine Envoy's ability to hide his own aura first! That way, we can assess the probability of getting detected!" Elder Luo said solemnly.
Yi Tianyun then nodded, and suddenly he disappeared from everyone's sight. Not even a trace of his aura could be detected from where he once stood.
This was thanks to Stealth Divine Ability, Yi Tianyun could hide his presence completely to anyone who wasn't alert enough to find him.
"So, what do you think?" Yi Tianyun said as he emerged back into his spot earlier.
"Divine Envoy's ability is far too good!" The Elders said as they seriously couldn't detect Yi Tianyun's presence at all!
"So, if there is no other problem, I would like to discuss my own plan now!" Yi Tianyun said suddenly.
"Go on. We're all ears!" Lord Bai said as she was curious about Yi Tianyun's plan.
"We won't just steal the Netherworld Divine Nation's resources once we get in! No, that's too boring! We might as well destroy the remaining resources that we don't need so they couldn't use it either!" Yi Tianyun said as he smirked.
"I still don't want to trouble the Phoenix Clan for this plan of mine, so right before I destroy the rest of the resources they have, I want the Elders to get away first!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.
