The ancient sages, angered by their recent defeat, debate whether to descend upon Cloud Star. Jiang Yuan, the most powerful among them, cautions against haste and underestimates the junior who inflicted their humiliation. Meanwhile, Pork Rong panics, sensing impending doom, while ordinary citizens remain oblivious, focused on their daily lives and work.
With a swift *swish*, Pork Rong burst through the door, his abrupt entrance drawing a multitude of eyes. Present were Bai Qiyu, his bald head gleaming, a cape elegantly draped over his shoulders; Li Jin, radiating an aura of righteousness with a longsword strapped to his back; and Hong Fengkuang, his entire form swathed in bandages... A quick scan revealed them all to be the esteemed personal disciples of the mister. A total of a dozen disciples were gathered! Even the Fifth Miss was not occupying her usual seat of honor. Instead, seated serenely upon the grand chair was the Second Young Master, Wu Tao, who had been absent for quite some time! Suddenly subjected to the intense scrutiny of such a formidable assembly, Pork Rong found himself momentarily stunned into silence. His initial exclamation faltered, his voice dwindling with each passing moment. By the time he managed to finish his sentence, his tone was laced with palpable doubt and palpable alarm. "Has something major transpired...?" In the presence of these distinguished lords, what could possibly be deemed a "major" event? The very notion seemed absurd. Abruptly. Pork Rong lost his train of thought, rendered immobile at the threshold. He was drenched in sweat, his very soul quivering with apprehension. Witnessing his distressed state only amplified the curiosity of those within the room. "So, it is you. What is the urgency?" "Were you not out on a mission? Why the sudden return?" These seemingly innocuous questions, posed by the terrifying presences filling the chamber, somehow carried an unidentifiable might, further terrifying Pork Rong. Upon inadvertently meeting Hong Fengkuang's battle-eager gaze, he was so startled that he quickly bowed his head in deference. Fortunately, Su Yunyun's tranquil voice intervened just in time. "There is no need for undue panic." "As the saying goes, ignorance is bliss. Your unexpected arrival is not an issue. If there is an urgent matter, please take your time to explain." "If my deduction is correct, the sole reason for your disheveled state and haste must be a shift in the Cloud Star's affairs that impacts our meticulously laid plans, is it not?" Her opening remarks not only steadied his nerves but also astutely identified the core issue. Even before Pork Rong could utter a word, her guess had already hit the mark. Su Yunyun was, without a doubt, the mastermind behind Shadow Island. Instantly. Pork Rong's eyes filled with reverence as he hastily bowed towards the front. After taking a steadying breath to compose himself, he truthfully recounted the situation. "Fifth Miss possesses remarkable wisdom!" "This humble servant did indeed rush here because an unforeseen complication has arisen on the Cloud Star." "The plan was progressing flawlessly. Long Tian had been successfully installed as a figurehead, and the scheme to lead the masses into the Demon Realm was nearing completion. Who would have foreseen the sudden appearance of the avatars of five ancient sages? They mistakenly believed I was colluding with the Demon Race and proceeded to eliminate Long Tian, nearly causing the entire endeavor to collapse." "Although I managed to fend them off, those were merely avatars. Should their true forms manifest in the future, I would stand absolutely no chance of victory." "The situation is dire, compelling me to intrude and deliver this urgent report. I implore your forgiveness for my presumption!" As his words concluded. The senior and junior disciples present offered slight nods. Exchanging subtle glances, their expressions grew notably more somber, and a low murmur of discussion filled the air. "Ancient sages?" "Even Pork Rong lacked confidence against them. It sounds like they possess considerable power. Perhaps they are indeed venerable predecessors of the Cloud Star." "What venerable predecessors? Appearing to stir up trouble without cause, I suspect they are simply old and muddled." "One cannot be so dismissive. Their understanding is limited, and they are unaware of our objectives. They are not truly malevolent, so animosity is unnecessary." "However, we cannot simply disregard them either. We cannot allow them to derail our grand design, can we?" Following the flurry of opinions, all eyes turned towards Su Yunyun, renowned for her sagacity. Her insight did not fail to impress. In the following moment. Su Yunyun nodded with a solemn expression, and a strategic response sprang forth from her mind. "These ancient beings indeed merit the title of Cloud Star's predecessors." "Previously, they slumbered beyond the mortal realm, never venturing into the world, so my attention towards them was minimal. I did not anticipate these entities awakening and attempting to thwart our grand scheme. This is unacceptable." "Although we are all of human descent and should refrain from mutual destruction unless absolutely unavoidable, a measure of retribution is undeniably warranted."

With that uttered, Su Yunyun turned her head to regard the seat of honor.

"Second Senior Brother, what is your opinion?"

Her question hung in the air, drawing all eyes in the room toward him.

Wu Tao flicked his toothpick away, making an immediate and decisive judgment.

"You are correct."

"These old geezers are acting so recklessly simply because they've lived a long time. We cannot indulge them. A stern lesson must be taught, lest we don't know what sort of chaos they will stir up down the line!"

His words, tinged with a hint of a rogue's charm, were exceptionally pleasing to the ear.

Over a dozen senior brothers swiftly gave their assent, their fighting intent beginning to surge outwards!

"Well spoken, Second Senior Brother!"

"To actually contemplate disrupting the grand scheme of our Shadow Island, they truly dare to dream!"

"Having slumbered for the majority of their lives, they awaken unaware of the vastness of the world, believing themselves to be immensely powerful. It's truly like an elderly woman climbing into bed, a spectacle that makes me laugh."

"Give them a crushing defeat!"

Merely hearing the pronouncements from everyone sent a wave of dread and apprehension through Pork Rong.

He had never anticipated encountering so many esteemed personal disciples in one gathering. With the matter elevated to such a significant level, and with the Second Young Master himself voicing his opinion, it was absolutely certain that this would not end simply.

What if one of the lords decided to take direct action?

Could the aged limbs of those ancient sages withstand such a forceful intervention?

Oh, heavens above...

This was what one could truly call a monumental event!

Sometimes, the most awkward situations are precisely those that echo our deepest fears.

Mere moments after Pork Rong's silent internal monologue, Su Yunyun had already issued a soft command towards the entrance.

"Someone, please invite Sixth Junior Sister to join us for this discussion."

As her directive was spoken, Pork Rong's heart seemed to leap into his throat!

The Sixth Miss, Mo Tianji?

Her mastery over divination was said to be beyond the comprehension of both gods and spirits. Legend held that before her gaze, all things in existence were laid bare. No matter how skilled those ancient sages might be, their movements would likely be exposed.

Considering this, Pork Rong was suddenly gripped by an almost overwhelming sense of panic.

Carefully lifting his gaze, he observed the lords within the conference room, many of whom were already flexing their fists and preparing themselves. Hong Fengkuang, in particular, displayed an unspeakable excitement in his eyes, causing Pork Rong's heart to pound with terror.

It's all over now...

Those esteemed elders are undeniably going to face a severe reckoning!

Within a few short breaths.

Mo Tianji entered the conference room with light footsteps, clutching a finely crafted notebook, her entire demeanor radiating the profound scholarly air of an exceptional student. With a smile, she took a seat in the front row, offering greetings to all present.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Yunyun moved directly to the crux of the matter.

"Sixth Junior Sister."

"Our grand plan has now reached a pivotal juncture, and five elder predecessors from Cloud Star have emerged to cause disruption. We must decisively teach them a lesson to preempt any unforeseen complications. Could you perhaps calculate the precise locations of their true forms?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianji responded with a smile and a nod.

"What difficulty is there in that?"

"I have recently been deeply immersed in studying the mathematical texts bequeathed by Master, and my comprehension of complex and real variables has deepened considerably. I am now capable of instantaneously calculating the whereabouts of any entity within this galaxy."

The profound and mysterious nature of her words resonated with everyone, fueling their anticipation even further.

Under the collective gaze of the entire assembly.

Mo Tianji unfurled her notebook, grasped a pencil, and commenced her calculations, sketching out diagrams.

Within moments, a smile graced her lips as she looked up.

"Indeed. It is precisely as Fifth Senior Sister surmised. Cloud Star does harbor five extraordinary presences concealed within separate secret realms. I have already determined their exact coordinates."

Astonishing!

These pronouncements elicited gasps of awe from everyone in the room, and many were already eager to take action!

"As expected of Sixth Senior Sister!"

"Sixth Senior Sister's calculation abilities appear to have ascended to an even more elevated echelon!"

"Since the locations of those five aging nuisances have been pinpointed, let us set forth immediately!"

"Indeed! Let them witness the true essence of martial artistry!"

Observing the escalating martial spirit permeating the room, Wu Tao offered a confirming nod to Su Yunyun.

In the subsequent moment.

Su Yunyun contemplated for a brief period, surveying her fellow martial siblings, before commencing the allocation of responsibilities.

"Very well."

"Since everyone's fighting spirit is running high, it would be opportune for us to step forward and test our skills, thereby ensuring the successful execution of our grand plan."

"However, a considerable number of us remain occupied with vital duties, thus we can only select those who have some degree of temporal flexibility. The suitable candidates present are limited to Second Senior Brother, Tenth Junior Brother, and Eighteenth Junior Brother..."

As her words concluded, several figures rose in succession.

Wu Tao.

Bai Qiyu.

Li Jin!

Hong Fengkuang, the final individual to step forward, presented a scene that caused even his fellow martial brothers to grimace!

Good heavens.

What an astonishing assembly of power!

Observing the formidable individuals now standing, Pork Rong commenced to harbor regrets. He inwardly acknowledged that the situation had spiraled far beyond his initial expectations, not daring to even contemplate the grim outcome that awaited. A pang of unwanted sympathy arose within him for the ancient sages.

At this juncture, Su Yunyun found herself in a predicament.

"Presently, only four brothers have answered the call. It appears we are one person short. Perhaps one of you could reluctantly undertake two opponents?"

To the astonishment of all present, Wu Tao promptly shook his head as she concluded her statement.

"No."

"Fifth Junior Sister, such an arrangement still lacks sufficient security."

"Even if those five old fossils are not particularly formidable, they still possess considerable experience and undoubtedly hold numerous life-saving hidden cards. What if one manages to abscond due to our being shorthanded?"

"This operation is crucial to our grand strategy. The slightest error is impermissible. Even a minuscule chance of failure, however remote, is utterly unacceptable!"

Upon hearing his words, every person in the chamber concurred with nods of agreement.

Even Su Yunyun bowed her head in shame. After careful consideration, she voiced her thoughts once more.

"Second Senior Brother's assessment is accurate. My caution was indeed insufficient."

"As suitable candidates are not readily available here, let us consider the brothers who did not attend this assembly. After much deliberation, I believe the Five Heaven-Burying Brothers would be exceptionally fitting."

"While their individual cultivation might be somewhat lesser, the five brothers share a deep bond and exhibit flawless teamwork. If they act in concert, there should be no unforeseen variables. It presents itself as a secure option."

Wu Tao responded with a nod of approval upon hearing this suggestion.

"Indeed, that is an excellent proposal. Let those five junior brothers act as a unified force. Steadfastness and prudence are paramount. We must excise any nascent risks before they have the opportunity to materialize."

With the discussion thus finalized.

The assembled experts identified their designated targets and commenced their departure. The fifth team was particularly conspicuous, comprising a full contingent of five individuals, and they were even transporting a coffin of darkest black!

Observing from his window as several beams of light dissolved into the nocturnal expanse, Pork Rong absently massaged his forehead and averted his gaze.

Sigh...

The Second Young Master's caution was simply excessive.

This formation was absurdly overwhelmingly powerful!

Far from being able to retaliate, the targets would likely not even possess the slightest possibility of escape.

He truly couldn't be held accountable for deliberately instigating this conflict and dooming those elder figures. Who could have foreseen that such a multitude of powerhouses would convene, elevating the situation to such extremes with mere words...

Good heavens.

This was not merely a significant event.

They had practically breached a hole through the very fabric of the heavens!

He could only earnestly hope that Elder Jiang and the other seniors would manage to protect themselves.
