Chapter 272: Alliance
In the hall wreathed in cold and ominous air, the five Supreme Elders exchanged a look, all of them showing expressions of grave unease.
"The Dark Master's words are sound. Before reasoning through a matter one should first consider the worst possible outcome. If the Great Li court has truly produced this kind of Eighth Prince, then we ought to begin preparing our response without delay."
The white-haired old woman with hair wound in a high coil spoke with a pensive expression. Another of the Supreme Elders gave a quiet nod as well, "A person of barely twenty years, already possessed of martial cultivation this formidable, attaining the Martial God realm in the future would seem a near certainty. But such a person appearing within the Great Li imperial family is, for the entire Great Li martial world, absolutely devastating news."
At those words, the Ghost Elder of the Warden's Hell said with an inscrutable expression, "To my knowledge, the three Martial Gods now revered throughout the martial world did not possess anything close to this level of martial cultivation at the same age as that Eighth Prince."
At those words, the entire hall fell silent once more.
It was clear that a martial prodigy as world-shaking as Li Musheng was genuinely something almost without precedent in the world. Even searching all of their memories for the entire history of the martial world, none of them could find even half a parallel to compare him to.
Even so, having something this monstrous suddenly appear was not something they could easily accept in such a short time.
"Since the Great Li imperial family has produced such a prince, let us hear first from all of you honored elders. How should the Primal Yin Origin Sect respond going forward?"
At that, the Dark Master sitting at the head of the hall spoke slowly, drawing the Supreme Elders back from their thoughts.
