After a few minutes, the result came out as follows.
Shang Zexi: Southern Phoenix is rejecting the resolution
Shang Wei: Northern Phoenix is abstaining from the resolution
Shen Niu: Western Moon is abstaining from the resolution
Ouyang Zen: Eastern Sun is in favor of the resolution
Feng Chun: Western Yan is abstaining from the resolution.
*Bang*
Mark slammed the plate with the hammer, just like how the auction house master does at the final bid, and announced, "Three Abstains, one in favor, and one rejection. According to Article 3 of the Genesis Cabinet's constitution, the cabinet will revise the terms and conditions of the resolution and send it to the states for approval.
Now, let's move on to the next agenda. The Red Lotus Brotherhood."
Everyone's facial expression immediately changed upon hearing that name.
It was a newly formed rebel group, shortly after the partition of the empire. Their aim is to wipe out wealthy individuals and nobles who enjoy the fruits of the labor done by common citizens. They also held the Shang Dynasty accountable for the Shang Jun imperial massacre incident.
More than a rebel group, it is like a sleeper cell. No one even knows who orders them in the first place and how many people are working for this organization. Any civilian or random adventure could suddenly launch a terrorist attack in public areas and grand events.
If there was one thing that was common, it was their way of conducting the attack.
Mark placed a red pill on the table and spoke, "I believe all of you already know what this is."
Shang Wei nodded seriously, "The Exploding Pill."
Mark then took out a hand-sized glass bottle and placed it on the table, surprising the rest as it had dozens of pills inside. "A couple of days ago, we accidentally caught a suspicious merchant at Lunaris, trying to sell this to a servant of our palace."
"Eh?" Shen Niu looked surprised by this news as he wasn't aware of it.
A few seconds later;
Fetus (unnamed)
Status: Healthy, Body is fully developed, hibernation.
Gender: Male
Age: 6 months, 18 days.
Estimated time of Birth: Unknown
Cultivation: 1-circle (High)
Attribute: Chaos
Bloodline: Primeval (locked)
Description: The unnamed fetus is the child of Master and his first wife, Lady Song Yue. Due to the remnants of chaos energy left behind by the Orb of chaos after its extraction, the fetus was forced to cultivate automatically before even the birth. However, due to enormous power, the fetus was forced to go into hibernation. Its birth might happen after the end of its hibernation.
"Oh, he already reached the advanced stage? Two days ago, it was only at intermediate stage, good," Mark developed a big smile on his face, feeling proud of the child who has yet to be born. At the same time, there was also this anxiety about when his birth will take place.
Of course, in case of emergency, there was always Sylvandria on her side, the unborn child's godmother, appointed by Song Yue.
But for the moment Sylvandria isn't in the home as she went to Mt. Lan for her breakthrough.
Roughly, Three weeks ago, following Lan Clan's ancient technique, under Zheng's instructions, she created an avatar by splitting her soul into two, using the elemental seed of light, which was brought by Deity Yujiang on Mark's request.
Her ether energy has been halved but resulted in two copies of Sylvandria with mid-9-circle-realm cultivation, one has a light element and the other inherited her divine energy.
Together, they ventured into Bloodhill forest and the oceans on a daily basis in order to increase their cultivation by absorbing the cores of the spirit beasts.
Two days ago, they managed to reach the peak stage and went to Mt. Lan for the merge.
