Chapter 475: Expansion of The Dark Side
Seeing everyone coming together, Master Windu supported his chin with both hands and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here now, we need to discuss the incident that happened this time..."
As he spoke, he looked around and sighed, "... Over the past few years, we have had too many sacrifices. Master Micah Giiett sacrificed on Yinchorr; Master Ki-Adi-Mundi almost died because of Cerea civil war on almost falling into the Dark Side, and it is now retreating; Master Yarael Poof sacrificed to save Coruscant; Master Yaddle died on Mawan... These are only members of the High Council, and other Jedi Knights and Jedi Masters paid even more, such as Master Qui-Gon Jinn, and Master Dooku who left the Jedi Order, and now, it's Master Even Piell's turn..."
He paused again and then continued: "There are indications that the Power of the Dark Side is getting stronger and stronger, and they will spare no effort to subvert the Galactic Republic and destroy our Jedi Order. Eight years ago on Naboo, Darth Maul killed Master Qui-Gon Jinn. We kept guessing whether this Sith Lord was a Master or an Apprentice, but this time, I think I have the answer... the Sith Lord hidden behind Maul is cunning, stronger, and more deeply hidden... We must find him out and give him the justice he deserves!"
Master Windu looked at Anakin again, and asked, "Anakin, when Obi-Wan Kenobi and Even Piell arrived, you were already alone fighting with Eldra Kaitis who fell into the Dark Side, so before that, when you contacted her, did you find anything?"
Anakin Skywalker thought for a while and said: "The Force of Eldra Kaitis was in chaos, she has almost no self-awareness, like a beast that only knows how to kill, but, after that Sith Lord appeared In front of her, she was very well-behaved. So I think they are subordinate."
"The Sith Lord also showed contempt for Darth Maul, saying that Maul was not worthy of being his Apprentice. At the time I thought it was just contempt for an abandoned child, but now that I think about it...maybe the situation is worse ..." Obi-Wan Kenobi also added on the side, "His words showed two meanings. First, Darth Maul is an Apprentice. Second, Darth Maul is not his Apprentice. ."
"But in Ni Yongxiao, I really felt the Power of the Dark Side. Master Even Piell once tried to use The Force to influence Ni Yongxiao, but it didn't work the first time, and it made him wary. Master Even thought someone from the Dark Side is protecting him," Obi-Wan Kenobi said.
"It has been hundreds of years, the shroud of the Dark Side. It is also this time, the conspiracy of the Sith. It is impossible to subvert the conspiracy of the Republic in just a few years." Master Yoda said, "The emerging Sith Lord, this is the only explanation."
He stood up, stood in the middle with a cane, and said firmly: "It is constantly getting stronger, the Power of the Dark Side, fear, is breeding. We must continue to explore, the Source of Darkness, and to curb its growth, the Emerging Darkness."
The Jedi Master Shaak Ti who was sitting on the side said: "I have a certain understanding of Eldra Kaitis, she is indeed quite gifted in The Force, but there is still a big gap compared with Anakin. However, as shown in this battle, she suppressed Anakin, so...if she was seduced by this new Sith Lord and fell, then this person is more terrifying than we imagined."
She succeeded Master Yaddle as a member of the High Council. She usually doesn't express much opinion when she is young, but she takes good care of Anakin, and she is also deeply saddened by the depravity of Eldra Kaitis.
"But Dawn has been cut off by the Supreme Chancellor for all Trade Routes and imposed Trade Sanctions because of its constant opposition to the Galactic Republic's decision-making. It is one of the Planets where the Separatist Movement is most rampant. If you want to investigate, I am afraid that you will need a Fleet to go there." Master Windu said without worry.
"I do have a suggestion. Although Dawn is monolithic, they have been expanding in the Kuna Star Cluster in recent years. They have also had conflicts with the local Ayrou and even fought each other. That is to say, compared to the Dawn for example, the situation of the Kuna Star Cluster is more complicated. This may be our breakthrough, and we can send people to sneak in to investigate." Shaak Ti said.
