Chapter 287: Mo Ye

The pitch-black lake water lay still in the midst of the mountains and forest, resembling a mirror.

As the breeze blew by, there wasn't even a ripple in the pitch-black waters, calm as a pristine mirror surface.

Below the lake surface, within the pitch-black, ink-like waters, lay a mysterious underwater palace.

There was no usual splendor or aura of fortune in the underwater palace, nor any defensive formation to be seen.

The underwater palace, submerged in the pitch-black lake water, was covered in dark aquatic plants and bizarre coral between its brick and tile structures, and some hideous black abnormal fish also lurked about.

It appeared more like a desolate, abandoned underwater ruin.

Yet in the depths of the pitch-black underwater palace, there was a figure sitting quietly atop a raised platform, gazing coldly ahead at the many chairs before them.

The black conference hall, which should have been filled with people, was now completely empty, with only a few scattered shadows taking their seats.

At one point, the shadow at the head of the table looked up and glanced at the sky. Although the lake water was pitch-black and lightless, the shadow's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the water and catch a glimpse of the outside world.

It spoke, "It seems that only a few of us have come today."

With the sound of the sinister shadow's voice fading, a woman at the foot of the table sneered.

"A group of cowardly rats were previously boasting and acting arrogantly, but now they've been frightened by a single sword like this... The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain has not yet even acted, and these guys are already running for the hills. Their cowardice is truly laughable."

The woman's contemptuous sneer caused a slight chill in the atmosphere of the black conference hall.

After a while, someone slowly spoke up.

"Xie Yunniang, your words are too harsh. After witnessing the power of that sword yesterday, I think no one in this world could not be afraid... Are you all from The Green Hell Cave so tough and completely fearless?"

"Alright, that's enough."

The devil at the top of the room looked down coldly at the four black shadows below, and her gaze fixed on the last shadow that had remained silent all along, saying,

"Now that the Wolf God is powerful and the evil path is declining, we should cooperate and overcome difficulties. If you didn't have this intention, you wouldn't have come here today. You would have left the Fire Pass Country with the other dozen or so as early as possible."

The devil at the top of the room said, "So why argue with each other? Working together to complete the plan we previously established is the real task."

The two shadows who had mocked Xie Yunniang before nodded and said, "Mo Ye speaks openly and is much smarter than some arrogant individuals who think highly of themselves."

"That's right! We listen to Mo Ye's orders. Whatever Mo Ye says, we'll do it immediately without question! There's no other meaning, just respect for Mo Ye."

The two shadows continued their sarcastic banter back and forth, making pointed comments and causing Xie Yunniang's face to turn black with anger.

But since Mo Ye had spoken, she didn't burst out in anger and instead remained silent in her seat.

Upon seeing the situation, the devil referred to as Mo Ye spoke up.

"Good, since you all trust me, I won't refuse. I'll be in charge of this operation."

As it spoke, it looked towards Xie Yunniang, and asked, "Yunniang, do you have any objections?"

Xie Yunniang took a deep breath and shook her head, saying, "Yunniang has no objections. From the beginning, Yunniang said that the Green Hell Cave should not interfere in this matter, so we can only fully entrust it to you. We are willing to listen to Mo Ye's arrangements."

"Now that the situation is deteriorating, it is fortunate for us that Mo Ye is willing to take charge. Yunniang is also willing to follow Mo Ye's command without question."

After Xie Yunniang made her statement, Mo Ye looked towards the last black figure who had not spoken and said, "What about Brother Ning? Do you have any other suggestions?"

In the corner of the black conference hall, the black figure who had been silent all along lifted its head indifferently and spoke.

"As long as I can get what I deserve, I don't mind who becomes the leader."

Then Mo Ye laughed and said, "Alright! In that case, the plan remains the same. Although we are now fewer in number, we are more united."

"I believe that with everyone's cultivation level and if we can work together, we will definitely be able to successfully obtain what we want!"
