That day three consummate realm cultivators moved out of two of the six major powers to check on the situation of three different empires and understand what exactly is going on.
The first grand elder of the thunder G.o.d temple, he went to the first empire in the s.p.a.ce gate, and as soon as he entered, what greeted him is a nasty sight of destruction. There is nothing left intact within the whole imperial palace grounds.
There is no one near the s.p.a.ce gate, so none of them noticed the sudden appearance of this old man in the palace.
But the old man can see almost half of the entire palace grounds with his n.a.k.e.d eyes, the white-robed people are clearing the rubble and the dead bodies which are struck below the debris of the palace walls.
Apart from that, he also saw the signs of a bunch of people who are being held captive and taken outside the palace grounds.
The Oldman concealed his aura as he tailed them sneakily.
He doesn"t know who these people are, but he did hear something like this when the white-robed people threw them outside.
"We of the church of guide, wouldn"t kill the surrendered. From today onwards, you are no longer the royalty. You have to live like normal people. This is to understand fairness and justice. Under the guidance of the church, all of you shall live equally with the only goal of serving the guide at your pursuit."
The first grand elder didn"t have a problem sneaking out without alerting anyone with his abilities. Within a few hours, he made around throughout the imperial capital.
Many people who seemed to have captured earlier were released onto the streets, there are signs of some war and the death energy could be seen going rampant at some places.
The captives are all cultivators and even their houses seemed to have been returned. It almost seemed like they are going back to be normal citizens again without any strings attached.
All this while, he looked at the followers and the priests who wore masks. The behavior of the followers matched exactly with the captives Arc brought to them.
The situation also matched what he said and he can also see some undead beings doing some menial works.
After confirming all this, he decided to leave this place. He just wanted to sneak away just like how he came here without facing any problem.
But this time his luck seems to have run out.
Because there are a lot of Priests who wore masks standing near the s.p.a.ce gate room.
They seemed to have captured someone.
He concealed his aura completely and hid behind a wall as he looked at the situation.
He recognized the person who was captured. It seemed to the Emperor of this nation.
The Grand elder expected this person to be dead by now, but he seemed to be still alive.
This emperor is only at the Peak of Pre-transcendent and he is surrounded by four priests who are all pre-transcendent stage cultivators and from the looks of it more are coming.
After more than half-an-hour. He is still standing there are more than thirty Pre-transcendent Priests standing there are a person who wore a golden-mask otherwise known as a high priest also came out and stood before the emperor.
"You are still alive, only so that I could use as an example in the public execution and bring fear in our new subjects who happened to be your former subjects. Not for you to try and escape to the thunder G.o.d temple and bust us up.
Be obedient and you can peacefully die in an execution otherwise, I would be forced to torture you to death.
With all the things you have seen, you should very well know what exactly I am capable of"
When the first grand elder heard these words, he was extremely intrigued. He went into deep thought for a second and came to a decision.
The High priest is surely transcendent and he seemed to be at early stages, so he was quite confident in executing his plans.
Just like that, he came out of his hiding and took action. He appeared out of nowhere and didn"t even give the group a chance to express their surprise.
He immediately threw a few punches in the air and the fist images formed out of spiritual energy penetrated right through the several Pre-transcendent stage cultivators who are surrounding the emperor.
The High Priest who is about to leave turned around and was immediately shocked, he could feel the overwhelming power of the Grand elder and immediately decided to flee without turning around.
And in that process, he started absorbing the energy from the priests threw attacks at the old man with this excess power.
The old man dodged the attacks but was unable to tail the person due to the fact that he decided to safe-guard the emperor. He wanted him for more info, so he couldn"t get rid of him.
But the problem is not over, the few pre-transcendent priests who are absorbed by that High-priest turned into undead and are ready to explode.
The Grand elder face turned grave and he decided to drag the emperor and jumped into the s.p.a.ce-gate room.
His actions are extremely quick as he made sure to throw all the spirit stones, he can inside the s.p.a.ce gate and disappeared.
He should feel extremely lucky. Because, there is an undead explosion of at least ten Pre-transcendent stage undead beings, which would have at least cost his arm or a leg just to defend.
He left for the thunder G.o.d temple with the emperor safely by a stroke of luck.
He reported the situation to the temple head and they got the gist of the situation in that nation from the words of the emperor who is the direct witness and also the subject of execution.
The other grand elder returned almost at the same time, but what he witnessed is not the same as the first grand elder.
When he reached that nation, the people are already sorted out and the church already took control of the nation. They are not just cleaning up.
They are already building the church and even the citizens are already chanting the name of the church and the guide in a spirit of worship.
Meanwhile, at the Usaine sect"s side, the grand elder who went to see the situation of that nation also saw the same thing as the first Grand elder of the thunder G.o.d temple.
After two brief meetings, later both the major powers sent direct messages to the heads of all the six major powers.
The Sect head of the Usaine sect and the thunder G.o.d temple head was still most surprised about this situation.
Because there is no way they imagined that another power also discovered this situation and that too almost at the same time.
The remaining heads of the major powers are a bit skeptical about this though.
Because, both the messages said almost the same thing. "Send a Grand elder to one of the nations that are under your control and after understanding the situation, come to the central continent meeting spot."
They are quite puzzled and only felt like doing this because the message was sent by two but not one other major power.
And after the inspections are over, they couldn"t help but feel a bit of panic.
All of a sudden, almost all of the nations that are under the six major powers" control are completely gone out of their hands into some other ent.i.ty"s control.
They sent the message to the four major professional a.s.sociations, the ten minor powers, and other minor professional a.s.sociations like Seer tower.
This is possibly the greatest possible lineup the planet could muster.
All the heads of the a.s.sociation currently blocked the s.p.a.ce-gates that gain access to the nations and arrived at the meeting point in the Central continent.
"As you all know, what kind of situation we are in, right now we are here to discuss how to proceed further in this situation."
The thunder G.o.d temple head is the first one to start the topic. n.o.body replied though, waiting for him to continue.
"From what we know, the high priests who are wearing the golden masks are only the regional leaders. There is a hidden boss, who is manipulating the things behind them and that person could possibly be part of any of our organizations.
Thankfully, we are able to recognize the situation this time, before it turned worse. But we have to make sure that there is no next time.
So, please give suggestions on how to find out the mole within us."
With those words, he sat back down and the meeting went on for more than six hours.
All this time, Arc and Ye Ting, the emperor of the eastern continent are also present at the meeting, although they are not the weakest of all, they don"t have any voice in the present situation.
