Star Gate

“This is strange.” The Dragon Observatory leader looked at the board of light in front of him with puzzlement. A unique situation was playing out across it. Some black pinpricks were attacking a few dots of light. That meant that the dark puppets were attacking some of the exalted emperors.

This didn’t normally take place.

Typically, the dark puppets would stir to action only after exalted emperors spent a month in the dao foundation site. That was why some danger occurred after a month and cases of missing persons developed.

But this time, it’d only been three days.

Why was this happening?

Of the seven dots of light, the strongest had almost reached the hall. However, there was also a building amount of black pinpricks in that vicinity. This meant that the dark puppets did not welcome the arrival of these visitors.

Is there a feud between Utmost Dark and the Skyward dark envoy? wondered the Dragon Observatory leader. That had to be the case. Otherwise, why the difference in treatment?

As a dark-attributed faction, Utmost Dark had existed for a very long period of time. The Utmost Dark master had also been alive for many years. Perhaps there were some grudges between him and the dark envoy?

But with the disappearance of the Skyward powerhouses and the demise of the Utmost Dark master, there was no one he could ask anymore.

These thoughts occurred to the Dragon Observatory leader also due to the situation around Li Hao. There weren’t that many dark puppets around the young man and the two exalted emperors outside the hall hadn’t seemed to come in contact with each other. This obliquely proved that anyone not from Utmost Dark would not be targeted.

......

The reality of the situation was that Li Hao was completely enshrouded by the ‘dark’ supernatural character. The strength of darkness emanated from his body, a power that came from the energy present within the surroundings. Hence, the dark puppets hesitated and did not attack the young man. He felt like part of the scenery.
