When he heard Mortir's voice and saw this man looking at him, Minos imdiately prepared to fight in this place, circulating his energies.
But before he made any kind of move, he said. "I see you managed to absorb so of Gavin's powers... But it's a sha that such a powerful ability was wasted on your decaying body.
If those eyes had continued on Gavin, he would have eventually beco a God. But in you, this bloodline will not be able to show its true powers since your limit is only level 89.
Sigh...
But I guess that was to be expected, no? Instead of controlling him, as an intelligent person would do, you chose to waste those powers on yourself." Minos said, speaking as if he were standing in front of the world's biggest idiot.
Everyone around realized that this was Minos' purpose and swallowed their saliva, afraid of what might happen after such a provocation.
"You really have a sharp tongue, brat!" That fellow in bone armor said, making an ugly expression, wanting to imdiately end this opponent's life. "Tell what gives you the courage to talk to like that! I want to know who can protect you if I decide to act!"
Everyone in that city felt Mortir's cultivation pressure spreading to the surroundings, showing how terrible he currently was.
The mbers of the imperial family were already in the surroundings witnessing the situation but not knowing what the best approach would be.
They should intervene and make both sides behave better. However, who could stop Mortir if he decided to act?
In this complicated situation, Minos laughed and said. "Who gives the courage? Myself!
Rember, you are only not dead because I allowed it on account of my regard for the Edwardstone family.
Otherwise, your fate was to join one of my black holes and beco a source of power for my army!"
The supre elder of the Saints Killing Sect felt extrely humiliated upon hearing that and shouted. "Bastard Minos, watch how you talk! You are standing before a majestic Spiritual Sage, not an ordinary person!"
"Tsk!
Dogs should keep quiet while their masters argue!" Minos glared in that man's direction, making him tremble with anger.
"Minos!" That old man turned red with anger but was stopped by Mortir from doing anything else.
Then the supre elder of the imperial family finally showed himself, intending to stop this situation before it got out of control. "Sect Master Burgess, sect master Stuart, don't take this any further. That is the empire's capital, and you both owe your respect to the citizens of Payton!"
He turned to Mortir and said. "Congratulations on reaching level 80. In this new stage, sect master Burgess can do much more for the empire."
That level 80 man took his focus off Minos to look at the supre elder of the Edwardstone family, the main problem he would face in trying to dominate this state.
He had purposely gotten rid of Harold to facilitate his job of dominating this state. Still, just the absence of the emperor did not make it easy for this man.
He could act using his space manipulation skills and manage to kill many of the local leaders. But this would consu him, and he would be vulnerable before he had even eliminated all his opponents.
So Mortir did not see the situation as already mastered and was much more concerned about that level 79 individual than about Minos.
Even if Minos was powerful and growing fast, what could he do against space manipulation abilities?
Moreover, Mortir thought he would only need a few weeks to deal with the imperial family. So even if he was a cultivation genius, Minos would not have beco stronger in that period and would still be within his reach.
Then he focused on that old man and said. "Supre elder Edwardstone, thank you for your words. As for the rest, it's only that brat Minos who provokes ...
In any case, I will not fight against soone at such a low level.
I am only here to participate in the negotiations about the empire's future... Now that I am at the sa level as His Majesty, I am interested in returning our focus lost with his kidnapping."
Minos frowned, thinking that this individual wanted to start by showing the local powers that he could replace Harold, giving them a reason not to move against him.
So would obviously not fall for Mortir's manipulation and side with the imperial family. But as long as he could get so sects to turn their backs on House Edwardstone, he would already be successful!
The mbers of the imperial family were not stupid, so they realized Mortir's move imdiately.
Unfortunately, none of them were strong enough to stop Mortir.
Hell, even if everyone in this city rallied against that guy right now, they would not be able to kill him due to his ability to manipulate space.
Starting sothing there would be the beginning of a losing war for most of them, so nobody did what was necessary for a battle to happen.
Even Minos was passive in this situation since it was in his interest to prolong it until he reached level 71.
'For the ti being, he will not go to the Black Plain... Instead, he will probably talk to the sect leaders to try to get them to take his side. He should start acting against my sect and the imperial family after that.' He thought this while standing next to Isabella just before they headed to a local arena where the eting was scheduled to take place.
All the other high-level cultivators in this city headed towards that place as well, while Mortir was already at that place after using his spatial manipulation skills.
He wanted to show these people as much as possible that he was not soone for one to play with, so he was sparing no effort!
'Hehe, just you wait... In a few months at most, this whole city will be under my rule!' He thought as he sat on Harold's throne before the first high-level Spiritual Saints ca to that place.
...
In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed.
In this period, since the beginning of the eting of local leaders, everything had gone according to plan, with each sect reporting its results and intentions to the imperial family.
The mbers of the imperial family also talked about the current challenges and what they planned for the future full of uncertainties ahead of them.
When they finished presenting their situations, it was ti for the local leaders to give their opinions and suggestions on how the state should move forward.
With this underway, so sect masters comnted on their preferences regarding minor things, nothing grand to make Mortir or Minos try to get involved.
But when word reached Mortir, this man imdiately used this chance to attack Minos' accomplishnts.
"My friends, I would like to air my displeasure regarding the accomplishnts of the Gray Clouds Sect." He comnted. "I don't need to hide my negative feelings towards that organization, and I won't pretend that I wouldn't benefit if they were doing badly. But it bothers that an organization of the empire is serving the purposes of another state!
Minos Stuart is trying to steal this organization from the Flaming Empire, and I strongly object to that!
Therefore, I wish we review this situation to prevent the state from losing even more of its experts!"
