Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food Chapter 1228 - 564: The Three Great Sects Arrive

—Report—

Suddenly, a hurried report echoed from beyond the council hall.

The leaders of several mid-level factions within the Earth Mother Sect present shifted their gazes, a hint of displeasure on their faces.

They were aware that during their private meetings, interruptions from subordinates were reserved only for matters of utmost urgency.

The urgency of this report clearly signified that something significant had transpired.

—What is it?— Qi Hongwen, his voice steady and mature, inquired swiftly.

The other three leaders also turned their attention towards the entrance.

The disciple who entered from the Earth Mother Sect spoke with haste: —An urgent dispatch has arrived from our spy in Yangshan.

—Yangshan has clashed with the military. The King of Space and the King of Frost from Yangshan have personally intervened. Not only have they confiscated the military’s armaments, but Zhang Dazhi and Ge Liangen have both been apprehended by the King of Space.

Upon hearing this news, a wave of shock swept through everyone in the hall.

Lin Tianci’s countenance immediately lit up with elation. —When heaven wishes for a man to perish, it first drives him to madness!

—That Liang fellow has truly lost his senses, provoking the military like this!

—Esteemed colleagues, this presents us with a golden opportunity!

Fang Hao, his brow furrowed, felt compelled to ask: —Can we be certain this information is accurate?

The disciple from the Earth Mother Sect quickly confirmed: —It is completely reliable; it was personally witnessed by our spy.

—Furthermore, our informant within the Water God Sect has also transmitted a message: the Plague Priest and the Life Priest of the Water God Sect have personally led the Drowning Spirit Guard and the Abyssal Stalker towards Yangshan.

These words instantly ignited Lin Tianci’s excitement: —The Water God Sect has already made their move! My friends, why does our Earth Mother Sect still hesitate?

—Is the Water God Sect truly this impetuous?— Fang Hao inquired, a touch of confusion in his tone.

Elder He Mingzhi of the River Valley, standing nearby, stated in a low, resonant voice: —It is likely due to the prolonged absence of their Heavy Water Priest. They may suspect it is connected to Liang.

Fang Hao subtly shook his head. —That has nothing to do with it.

Having been an eyewitness at the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, he was well aware that the formidable entities within the Dark Abyss Mouth were the true culprits.

Their escape from the Shadow World back then was a stroke of luck, thanks to Liang Yuan and Zhang Mi, the Shadow Speaker of the Spiritual Ability Sect, who had inadvertently breached the Shadow World, providing them with an escape route.

Consequently, Fang Hao surmised that the Water God Sect’s Heavy Water Priest, Deng Ze, had likely met an unfortunate end, perhaps being too far from the Shadow World fissure to escape.

A month and a half had passed; he was almost certainly deceased by now.

Qi Hongwen, the President of the Evangelical Mission, gave a slight shake of his head. —The Water God Sect is unaware of the true nature of that Dark Attribute Floating Island. They likely saw Liang’s return and intend to interrogate him.

—Since the Water God Sect has acted, what is the Spiritual Ability Sect’s response?— He Mingzhi inquired.

Qi Hongwen responded with gravity: —Most likely, they have already initiated action. However, the Spiritual Ability Sect adheres to an extreme doctrine, and their core membership is not extensive. They are known for their precise and decisive operations, so the contingent heading to Yangshan this time will probably not be substantial.

—Yet, despite their numbers, their commitment will undoubtedly be absolute.

—Why so?

—Haha, Floating Island,— Qi Hongwen chuckled.

He Mingzhi, Fang Hao, and Lin Tianci instantly grasped the implication.

The Spiritual Ability Sect does not possess a floating island of its own, but Yangshan’s Lord of Space already commands a prepared Spatial Floating Island!

Should they succeed in capturing Yangshan’s Space King, Li Qinghua, it would be tantamount to acquiring a floating island!

Contemplating this prospect, every individual present felt an immediate surge of avarice.

Yangshan already housed a significant concentration of Superpower Ore Veins.

With the addition of a Spatial Attribute Floating Island, even a moderate degree of risk this time would be entirely justifiable!

With these thoughts in mind, the four mid-level leaders of the Earth Mother Sect exchanged knowing glances and promptly reached a collective decision.

—Let us advance!—

At Qi Hongwen’s decisive command, Lin Tianci became visibly thrilled.

The newly appointed Forest Bishop promptly declared: —I shall mobilize our forces immediately. Esteemed leaders, I urge you to set forth without delay.

Fang Hao nodded. —The Desert Watcher will depart at once. However, following the previous expedition to the Dark Attribute Floating Island, I sustained considerable losses in manpower. This time, I fear I cannot commit a large contingent.

Qi Hongwen cast a glance at Fang Hao and stated: —We shall adhere to the established protocol: the division of spoils will be proportionate to the strength deployed.

Fang Hao remained silent for a moment, then simply gave a slight nod, signifying his acceptance.

He Mingzhi, standing nearby, offered a smile and declared, "Then it's settled. Let's go."

"Should we inform the Yellow Earth Divine Origin first?" Fang Hao inquired.

Qi Hongwen glanced at him and responded, "We can discuss that after we're done."

This was a common practice, as a portion of their monthly profits had to be submitted to the three divine offices of the Yellow Earth Divine Origin.

The Yellow Earth Divine Origin comprised three main branches of the Earth Mother Sect: the Fertile Soil Department, the Root Artery Academy, and the Ring of Abundance.

The Fertile Soil Department functioned similarly to a construction division, while the Ring of Abundance served as the administrative body, overseeing resource allocation and similar matters.

The Root Artery Academy was dedicated to training acolytes, indoctrinating lower-ranking members, and also acted as a training ground for cultivating powerful individuals.

Yet, despite their affiliation with the Earth Mother Sect, mid-tier organizations such as the Forest Bishop, River Valley Elders, Desert Watcher, and Evangelical Mission did not report every single undertaking to the three divine offices.

The primary reason for this was the necessity of calculating profits from any operation before submitting them upwards.

If they were to notify the higher departments beforehand, it would lead to unnecessary complications.

The upper departments would then dispatch experts to observe the mission and meticulously tally the profits, which would be rather inconvenient.

In essence, given that this matter involved substantial interests, the four individuals present implicitly agreed to avoid discussing it further.

The sole reason Fang Hao mentioned it was his underlying concern that Liang Yuan might return from the Floating Island of the Abyssal Mouth, potentially wielding significantly enhanced power.
