Chapter 593: Gathering the Night Sky (2)
One of the Ming Cult members watching from the observation seats above the underground chamber, a woman draped in a dark crimson fur cloak like a robe, held a letter in her hand.
It had arrived with a crackling sound, accompanied by black flames that vanished as quickly as they came—leaving behind a crumpled piece of paper.
An old man sitting in a lower seat slightly lifted his head. He was of the Iron Clan—short and deeply wrinkled. He opened his mouth slowly.
“May I ask the Three Spirit Emissary... has any chamber yielded results yet?”
“None.”
The reply came in a voice that was both male and female at once.
It was the result of cultivating Mixed Demon Split Mind Technique, one of the Ming Cult’s advanced arts under the Celestial Demon Lineage. The dual voice split along the throat—fiery demonic energy from one side, icy from the other.
“However, this one is progressing slowly. It's the most brutal among all the chambers where the ceremony is taking place.”
“Of course. If it includes the Demon of Seokwon Pool, the Dream Phantom, the rogue martial forces that escaped from Yeom Jeong's command, and the expelled disciples from the Ice Palace, as well as the unnamed disciples from Mu Gok’s division of the Six Star Lords, then seven more days and nights may still not be enough.”
“You talk too much.”
“My apologies. Our clan prides itself on holding the line against opponents such as these.”
“You're wrong from the start. You don’t know who’s in the other chambers, so you speak in ignorance.”
