The Rise of the Black Plain

At that moment, Minos met with the most important individuals in that sect, some of whom would be part of his attack group.

But not only those high-level Spiritual Saints from that sect were there. Each of those going to the battlefield brought some individuals to fight by their side.

That was the case with one of the representatives of the Terry family, who was with Lance by his side.

This fellow was looking coldly at Minos, disappointed that all his plans had gone wrong and he no longer had a good chance of reversing this person's deeds.

He still hoped that Minos would die in the war. Still, he no longer had the support even of his family to continue antagonizing this fellow from the northern region. As such, for the moment, he could only hope that fate would take care of his opponent and remain strong as a candidate for the succession of power in this sect.

'You are a monster. I admit that.' Lance thought as Minos ignored him. 'But I won't give up! Someone as nefarious as you, who endangers his own state because of his ambitions for power elsewhere, does not deserve to be the leader of my sect!'

While Lance emitted waves of envy and anger at Minos, this emperor ignored that troublesome person so as not to ruin his day.

He received a letter sent by Isabella from his grandfather and saved such a thing to read later and said. "Alright, people, the time has come for us to attack the headquarters of the Saints Killing Sect!"

"Are you prepared, sect master?" Patriarch Terry asked since, despite everything he had heard from Minos, what they were about to start was on a whole different level.

They were not going to fight against low-level Spiritual Saints but against such individuals of medium and also of high-level ones!

Since Minos would subdivide the power of his black holes created earlier, the patriarch Terry and the others there also wanted to know how prepared the sect master was.

Minos then said. "For my part, everything is ready. I have all the necessary devices and need less than a day to store the fractions of the black holes in these arrays."

"After that, we can leave on that one to attack the enemy headquarters."

Those experts who were going on this mission, half of them to be exact, liked to hear this as they analyzed the spiritual pressure exhaled by his body.

'Hmm, it looks like Minos will advance to level 68 soon.' One of the Coleman family members there thought to himself, pleased with the sect master's progress.

Everyone there was amazed at Minos' phenomenal cultivation speed whenever they saw him. Not even the greatest talents of this sect could cultivate so fast, even in these areas.

But Minos did this while spending most of his time on the Black Plain!

As such, several of these high-level Spiritual Saints were delighted with Minos' growth in strength but also curious as to whether they could achieve something similar.

'I heard from young Maisie that Minos intends to take the sect to the northern region... I wonder if he plans to share his methods with us when that happens?'

The group talked for a few more moments, with Minos and those who would be fighting agreeing on some necessary details before they left.

With that done, they said goodbye to those who would be left to take care of this headquarters, then left for the battlefield!

Meanwhile, Abe's men in the Flaming Empire had already sent their leader the information about Minos' arrival here!

...

One day later...

While Minos was working on his black holes on the battlefield between the Gray Clouds Sect and the Saints Killing Sect, Abe was notified of his enemy's situation.

With that, this fellow again set out to attack, following through with his intentions to destroy the capital of the Black Plain Empire and eliminate some more of the pillars of Minos' rule.

However, as Abe smiled as he led his men into Dry City, he slowly changed his expression as he realized something was wrong.

He used a slightly different strategy than the one he used the last time he acted against Minos. But even though something like this was to be expected from enemies as well, what he and his group found when they invaded the skies of Dry City was somewhat surprising.

No Spiritual Emperors of this state and their allies were in the vicinity, flying towards them. That was also true for the low-level Spiritual Saints, who only observed the area from their usual places.

Meanwhile, ten individuals, subdivided around this large city, were positioned in the path of the group of these terrorists as if they were making a defensive belt around this city. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟ｅｌ．𝚌ｏ𝚖

Abe and his men finally managed to scan the cultivation of these people, noticing that these were damn high-level Spiritual Saints!

"Oh, shit!" One of the low-level Spiritual Saints in Abe's group cursed, feeling that they had fallen into the enemy's trap.

For months the Black Plain had shown its usual strength without any signs that it had gotten reinforcements.

On the other hand, Abe's group had grown even stronger after the last confrontation in this City, when Minos had defeated them at the last moment.

Abe had finally given up his pretensions of taking revenge on Vogel to at least ensure Minos' demise. Therefore, several stronger Spiritual Saints from his mercenary group had come to this place to fight alongside him.

But even so, there were only 7 of these individuals, which already gave a significant advantage to the local forces!

"Minos, you bastard!" Abe cursed in a low voice, frustrated that his opponent had made such a move against him.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries hired by Minos were preparing to go to battle. Still, their leader stepped forward and tried a diplomatic approach.

"Friends of the Western Empire, we are here to protect these lands temporarily. So I ask that you return from where you came today, or we will be forced to take action." A level 79 individual said this, knowing it was not his duty to kill these people just because they were there.

His job was to protect this city and the people there. So if it could be done by avoiding a confrontation, he would still be fulfilling his duties!

The people next to Abe were not stupid either, and one of them soon advised this fellow. "Boss, let's back off. We can fight this Minos another day." A level 79 man said, seeing no advantage in testing those ten people.

'Damn it!'

'You pay me for this, Minos!' Abe turned red with anger, knowing that not attacking would be best since, with such defenses, the local forces would hardly suffer. At the same time, his group would be left in tatters.

On the other hand, even if they could return to attack Dry City when these mercenaries from Minos had served their purpose, that would not be good. After all, if Emperor Stuart achieved success in his plans for the Flaming Empire, everything would become much more difficult!

As Abe boiled with anger, a man sent by the Saints Killing Sect to accompany these people frowned, sensing that such a move could mean something terrible for his sect.

'I have to notify the sect master!'

'Something will happen!'
