--- Chapter 234 ---

In a quiet room, several dark-hooded people gathered.

Each person has this eerie aura that words can't explain but could easily make one shiver by standing nearby alone.

"How is the situation in the West?" Asked a dignified voice back in the darkness. It was a figure who sat calmly on a throne made of bones and chains.

Someone cleared his throat and answered, "Supreme Leader... I'm afraid the civil war between the Heavenly Soul Empire and Dou Ling Empire will continue for five if not ten more years."

"Heavenly Soul Empire also cut their connection with us, as if they have another backer."

The figure called Supreme Leader frowned slightly. One couldn't see the face behind those shadows, but everyone in the room knew their leader was displeased.

"There is a high chance that the backer is the Dragon Nest." Another person in the room uttered.

"Dragon Nest? Those mysterious bunches always ruined our plan." A cold yet feminine voice echoed in the room.

"Supreme Leader, please give me the authority, and I'll immediately wipe their people off the Douluo Continent."

A fiery voice mocked, "Hmph, Fourth Elder. You said that, but you were the one who ran away when those two experts from the Dragon Nest swept the Douluo Continent months ago."

"Shut up, they 'simply' caught me off guard." The cold voice rebuked.

Their Supreme Leader stared at the empty air, "Dragon Nest, huh?"

"Besides Java Island, we didn't know any places that might be their base."

"I believe they held a high-fashioned auction a while ago, right?"

"Yes! We tried to sabotage the area alongside the Body Sect, but we didn't expect Dragon Nest's Queen of Thunder to come and guard the ship by herself." Someone answered.

"We couldn't completely gauge her strength..."

"Queen of Thunder." A hoarse voice chuckled. "What an arrogant nickname."

Hearing the hoarse voice, everyone suddenly becomes quiet.

"What's the matter?"

"Why so quiet all of a sudden?"

"Sect Leader, don't look down on the Dragon Nest..." A dignified and deep voice made the room even colder. A pair of gray eyes with slit-like dragons gazed at the Sect Leader.

The Sect Leader snorted, "They are just a group of fools. How could they resist our church? We possessed a power others didn't dare to wield while Dragon Nest was playing around with their mystery."

"Haa... Sometimes the unknown is the most dangerous." The deep voice sighed.

"You didn't know when those abysses would come and swallow you into oblivion."

The tension in the room becomes more awkward until the Supreme Leader says something.

"Enough!"

"Sect Leader."

"Grand Worship."

"You old fellows..." The Sect Leader grumbled.

'Good, good, you guys have angered me.'

'I will let you guys away for now.'

The Sect Leader calmed himself down and said, "Then, The candidate with a space-related martial soul will get trained personally by me."

As everything settled, the meeting came to an end.

Unknown to them, the seven candidates of Holy Lady will be the reason for their church's disbandment in the future.

...

In the hallway, the Sect Leader grinned and walked to the room where his new disciples resided.

He pushed the door open and saw the most beautiful young woman in his entire life.

Her fair face.

Her alluring body.

Her mid-length silver hair.

However, all of those are meaningless compared to her cold blue eyes.

Those indifferent eyes caused the Sect Leader to get more excited to teach this new disciple into submission.

"Haha, are you Grayfia?" He asked with a smile.

Grayfia nodded, "Grayfia Lucifuge, at your service, holiness."

"Call me Teacher Wu. from now on." The Sect Leader returned confidently.

Grayafia frowned slightly and responded, "No."

"No?" The man known for being a psychopath laughed.

"You're not worthy to be my teacher." The silver-haired woman calmly stated. "In this world, I only submit to one man..."

"And you're not that person."

"Hoho." Zhongli Wu snickered as a dark aura seeped out from his body.

Twelve blood wings appeared and surrounded Grayfia.

"I didn't ask you to regard me as a teacher..."

"I ORDERED YOU!"

Zhongli Wu let out a maniacal laugh as the silver-haired woman fell to the ground, twitching like a dying animal. He extended his hand and made the woman float to his side.

"Haha, It would be fun breaking you down, Grayfia."

Zhongli Wu didn't know the room was 'thoroughly' covered with an illusion rune.

The real Grayfia Lucifuge sat on the chair nearby and sipped her evening tea, "How unrefined."

"Ah, I missed Yuhao-sama already."

The silver-haired devil rubbed her nether region and mumbled, "I must be patient... If I win Yuhao's sama's favor. I might get what I want."
