Chapter 1412: The Sky Has Been Pierced!

*Whoosh!*

Porky Rong burst through the door, his urgent shout drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

All eyes turned toward him.

There was Bai Qiyu, with his bald head and a cape draped over his shoulders; Li Jin, radiating righteousness with a long sword strapped to his back; and Hong Fengkuang, his body wrapped in bandages...

At a glance, these were all the direct disciples of their master.

There were more than a dozen of them!

Even the Fifth Miss wasn’t sitting in the main seat.

Instead, seated on the grand chair was the Second Young Master, Wu Tao, who hadn’t been seen in a long time!

Suddenly being stared down by such a terrifying lineup, Porky Rong was momentarily struck dumb. His voice trailed off mid-sentence, growing weaker and weaker.

By the time he finished speaking, his tone was filled with uncertainty.

“Something big has happened…?”

In front of these esteemed figures, what could possibly be considered “big”?

This was ridiculous.

Suddenly, Porky Rong found himself at a loss for words, frozen in the doorway.

Sweat poured down his face, his heart racing with fear.

Seeing him like this, the people in the room grew even more curious.

“Oh, it’s you. What’s the emergency?”

“Weren’t you out on a mission? Why are you back so suddenly?”

Though the questions were asked in a calm tone, coming from the mouths of such formidable figures, they carried an indescribable weight, making Porky Rong even more terrified.

When he accidentally caught sight of Hong Fengkuang’s battle-hungry eyes, he quickly bowed in respect.

Fortunately, Su Yunyun’s soothing voice broke the tension.

“No need to panic.”

“Ignorance is no crime. We won’t hold your sudden intrusion against you. If there’s something urgent, just say it slowly.”

“If I’m not mistaken, the only thing that could make you this frantic is if something happened on Planet Yunxing, affecting our previously laid plans, right?”

Her words immediately calmed Porky Rong, and with remarkable insight, she pinpointed the issue before he even spoke. Her guess was almost spot-on.

Su Yunyun truly lived up to her reputation as the strategist of Shadow Island.

In an instant, Porky Rong’s eyes filled with reverence, and he quickly bowed toward the front of the room. After taking a moment to catch his breath and steady his nerves, he began to explain everything.

“Fifth Miss, you’re truly wise!”

“I rushed here because something has indeed gone wrong on Planet Yunxing.”

“Originally, the plan was proceeding smoothly. Long Tian had been set up as a puppet, and leading the masses into the demon realm was about to succeed. But then, five ancient sages suddenly appeared in their avatars. They mistakenly believed I was colluding with the demons and attacked Long Tian, nearly causing the entire plan to collapse.”

“Although I managed to intimidate them for the time being, those were just avatars. If their true bodies were to arrive, I would stand no chance.”

“The situation is truly urgent, which is why I had no choice but to barge in and report. I apologize for any disrespect!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the senior brothers in the room nodded slightly.

Exchanging glances, their expressions grew more serious, and they began to discuss the matter in low voices.

“Ancient sages?”

“If even Porky Rong can’t handle them, they must be somewhat formidable. It seems they really are the old-timers of Planet Yunxing.”

“Old-timers? They’ve been dormant for so long, and now they suddenly show up to cause trouble. They must be senile.”

“You can’t say that. They’re limited by their knowledge and don’t understand our plans. They’re not truly evil, so there’s no need to make enemies of them.”

“But we can’t just ignore them either. We can’t let them ruin our grand plan, can we?”

After a flurry of comments, everyone turned their attention to Su Yunyun, who was known for her wisdom.

As expected, she didn’t disappoint.

In the next moment, Su Yunyun nodded solemnly and shared her thoughts.

“Those ancient beings do deserve the title of Planet Yunxing’s predecessors.”

“Previously, they were dormant, far removed from the mortal world, so I didn’t pay much attention to them. But now that they’ve awakened and are trying to disrupt our plans, we can’t let them off the hook.”

“Even though they’re fellow humans, and we shouldn’t resort to killing unless absolutely necessary, a small lesson is definitely in order.”

With that, she turned to the main seat.

“Second Senior Brother, what do you think?”

As soon as she spoke, all eyes in the room turned to Wu Tao.

Wu Tao spat out a toothpick and immediately made his decision.

“You’re right.”

“These old geezers think they can do whatever they want just because they’ve been around for a while. We can’t let them get away with it. We need to teach them a proper lesson, or who knows what kind of trouble they’ll cause in the future!”

His slightly roguish words resonated with everyone.

More than a dozen senior brothers immediately nodded in agreement, their battle intent beginning to surge!

“Second Senior Brother is absolutely right!”

“How dare they try to mess with Shadow Island’s grand plan? They’ve got some nerve!”

“They’ve been asleep for most of their lives, and now they wake up thinking they’re hot stuff. It’s like an old lady crawling into bed—just makes me laugh.”

“Let’s beat the crap out of them!”

Just hearing their responses made Porky Rong’s heart race.

He never expected to encounter so many direct disciples today. With the matter being elevated to such importance and even the Second Young Master speaking up, there was no way this would be brushed aside.

What if one of these esteemed figures decided to take action personally?

Could those ancient sages’ old bones even withstand it?

Good heavens…

This was what you called a real crisis!

Sometimes, the most awkward things happen just as you’re thinking about them.

No sooner had Porky Rong silently finished his thoughts than Su Yunyun softly issued an order toward the door.

“Someone, go invite Sixth Junior Sister to join the discussion.”

As soon as the words left her mouth, Porky Rong’s heart skipped a beat!

Sixth Miss, Mo Tianji?

Her divination skills were said to be unparalleled, and it was rumored that nothing in heaven or earth could escape her scrutiny. No matter how powerful those ancient sages were, their whereabouts would surely be exposed.

Thinking this, Porky Rong suddenly felt a wave of unease.

He glanced up discreetly and saw that the esteemed figures in the meeting room were already rolling up their sleeves, ready for action. Hong Fengkuang, in particular, had an unmistakable glint of excitement in his eyes, which made Porky Rong’s heart race even more.

This is bad…

Those old sages are definitely going to get a lesson they’ll never forget!

Within moments, Mo Tianji gracefully entered the meeting room, holding a delicate notebook. She exuded an aura of profound intellect, like a top-tier scholar, and took her seat at the front with a smile, greeting everyone.

After a few pleasantries, Su Yunyun got straight to the point.

“Sixth Junior Sister.”

“Our grand plan has reached a critical juncture, but five ancient sages from Planet Yunxing are causing trouble. We need to teach them a lesson to prevent any further complications. Can you calculate where their true bodies are located?”

Hearing this, Mo Tianji smiled and nodded.

“That’s no problem at all.”

“I’ve recently been studying the mathematical texts left by our master, and my understanding of complex and real functions has deepened. I can pinpoint the location of any being within the galaxy.”

The others listened in awe, their anticipation growing.

Under the gaze of the entire room, Mo Tianji opened her notebook, picked up a pencil, and began to write and sketch.

In just a few moments, she looked up with a smile.

“Hmm. As Fifth Senior Sister said, there are indeed five powerful auras hidden in different secret realms on Planet Yunxing. I’ve calculated their exact locations.”

*Whoosh!*

Her words caused a wave of astonishment in the room, and many were already itching to take action.

“As expected of Sixth Senior Sister!”

“Sixth Senior Sister’s divination skills have reached new heights!”

“Now that we’ve found those old fools, let’s move out!”

“Yes! Let’s show them what true power looks like!”

Seeing the room brimming with battle intent, Wu Tao nodded to Su Yunyun.

In the next moment, Su Yunyun surveyed the senior brothers and began to assign tasks.

“Alright.”

“Since everyone is so eager, we’ll take this opportunity to test our skills and ensure the success of our grand plan.”

“However, many of us still have important duties, so only those who are free can participate. The suitable candidates here are Second Senior Brother, Tenth Junior Brother, Eighteenth Junior Brother…”

As she spoke, one figure after another stood up.

Wu Tao.

Bai Qiyu.

Li Jin!

Finally, Hong Fengkuang rose to his feet, causing even the other senior brothers to twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Holy crap.

What kind of lineup is this?

Watching these terrifying figures stand up, Porky Rong began to regret his actions. He realized that things had escalated far beyond what he had anticipated. He couldn’t even imagine how brutal the upcoming confrontation would be, and he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy for those ancient sages.

At this moment, Su Yunyun seemed to hesitate.

“With only four senior brothers stepping forward, we’re still one short. Should one of you take on two opponents?”

However, Wu Tao shook his head slightly.

“No.”

“Fifth Junior Sister, that approach isn’t stable enough.”

“Even if those old fools aren’t much, they’ve still lived for a long time. They must have some life-saving tricks up their sleeves. If we’re short-handed and one of them escapes, what then?”

“This operation is crucial to our grand plan. We can’t afford even the slightest mistake. Not even a one-in-a-million chance of failure is acceptable!”

His words immediately won the approval of the entire room.

Even Su Yunyun nodded with a hint of guilt. After careful consideration, she spoke again.

“Second Senior Brother is right. I wasn’t being cautious enough.”

“Since there’s no suitable candidate here, let’s consider the senior brothers who aren’t in this meeting. After some thought, I believe the Burial Sky Five Brothers would be perfect.”

“Although their cultivation is slightly weaker, the five of them work together seamlessly. If they act together, there shouldn’t be any unexpected variables. This is a stable choice.”

Hearing this, Wu Tao nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes, that’s a good suggestion. Let those five junior brothers handle it. Stability is key. We must nip any potential risks in the bud before they can even form.”

Once the discussion concluded, the group of experts each confirmed their targets and prepared to move out. The fifth team, in particular, was the most exaggerated—it consisted of five people, and they were even carrying a black coffin!

From the window, Porky Rong watched as several streaks of light disappeared into the night sky. He silently covered his face with one hand and turned away.

Sigh…

Second Young Master is just too thorough.

This lineup is ridiculously overpowered!

There’s no chance of escape, let alone a fair fight.

It’s not my fault for stirring things up and landing those old sages in hot water. Who could’ve predicted that so many esteemed figures would gather here and escalate the situation to this extent with just a few words…

Good heavens.

This isn’t just a big deal.

This is practically tearing the heavens apart!

I can only hope that Elder Jiang and the other sages can handle what’s coming.

May they fare well…
