Chapter 1506: The Hall of Darkness (IV)
“Skyward...” The leader of Dragon Observatory thought of Hao Moon again. The new joiner was a third rank, and a strong third rank. He’d killed two Utmost Dark exalted emperors while inside Demon Summit.
If Drouth emerged from the dao foundation site, perhaps the Observatory leader would tell him that Hao Moon and Void were respectively third and fifth rank. Drouth himself had one fifth rank and two third ranks.
Hao Moon was not a weak third rank. He might be able to fight the two third ranks to a standstill. In that case, the two sides would balance and check each other.
The Dragon Observatory leader wasn’t concerned that Hao Moon would discover anything about what he’d done. His pride at being a peak sixth rank spoke to that. He was wholly unafraid unless a master of a major world, and a seventh rank at that, personally made a move against him.
For the moment, he wasn’t inclined to eradicate Hao Moon. Since he’s not the Silver Moon king, he’s part of Dragon Observatory’s strength. Why should I eliminate him then? He’s also on good terms with Void.
I would do something if he was the Silver Moon king, but since he’s not...
A voice traveled into his ear as he thought over the situation. “There were two eruptions of energy just now that seem to be tied to Demon Summit. Has something happened in the dao foundation site?”
Only the mid ranks would be contacting the leader at a moment like this—the transmission naturally came from Void. Clearly, he’d sensed what was taking place and had reached out with questions.
“Everything is fine, some dark puppets were alarmed by the group’s presence,” laughed the faction leader. “I’m in the process of expelling them. There is nothing to worry about, Brother Void. Hao Moon is alive and well! However, I think I’m seeing that he may have killed an Utmost Dark powerhouse. There might be some trouble if Brother Drouth learns about it.
“We are all of Dragon Observatory, so I do not wish for there to be conflict between anyone. Of course, this may be a misunderstanding. Do not worry, I will handle it once everyone is out!”
In other words, the leader was telling Void that he was aware of this secret now. Void better behave if he wanted to coexist peacefully with Drouth. Otherwise, this would be the makings of a death feud.
“Oh... I see.” Void didn’t seem surprised. And that was the truth, he wasn’t surprised. His voice faded away after that indifferent response.
