Chapter 264: Consolidating Allies
The atmosphere throughout Sword Saint Isle was still tense despite the battle having ended for an entire day. Everyone was vigilant, focusing on recuperating from the previous day’s toils. While they could use pills and other treasures to recover their energies and physical wounds, nothing but rest could address their fatigue.
The tension was only broken when the morning sun broke through the horizon, as a clear voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Noon today, in the Dark Sea Arena, I will be hosting a conference to debrief the events that have happened and what we’re going to do moving forward. Everyone is welcome to join.”
No one questioned whose voice it was. They all knew there was only one person powerful enough on the island to be able to project their voice to so many people at the same time. People simply acknowledged the message and planned their day accordingly.
Naturally, almost everyone planned to attend the upcoming session. Only a fool wouldn’t be able to tell the significance it held. It wouldn’t be inaccurate to say this meeting could greatly affect the future of Violet Isle, depending on the outcome of it.
The number of people choosing to leave the island right away could be counted on one man. They were mostly independent cultivators who didn’t bother with politics or eccentric individuals who did as they pleased.
It went without saying that Li Lang’s group was going to be attending. They had just finished a long planning session that went deep into the previous night. Li Lang was confident they were prepared. He was resolved to do what was needed and make the necessary sacrifices.
Nevertheless, the entire morning was still ahead of them before the conference began.
“Everyone ready? I won’t be opening the Crucible for you if you forgot something,” Li Lang loudly proclaimed to his students.
They all shook their heads, so his sights naturally fell on Long Yi next.
“What?” the large man reflexively shouted. “I’m ready, too.”
LI Lang skeptically glared at him for a few moments before he nodded.
