"Are you planning to make a move on the Ancient Sacred Gate? Do you know that would loosen the seal?!"
Yue Mian had only examined the jade slip for a short while when his gaze sharpened. Lightning suddenly surged through the surrounding space as he fixed Bai Ze with a fierce stare.
Unlike his earlier questioning, he was genuinely angered this time.
"The Peacock King has been sealed since ancient times, and his strength is already far inferior to what it once was. On the other hand, the Power of Kings' Bloodlines within the Sacred Gate has grown far stronger than before, because the number of True Spirit Kings in our Wilds has dwindled with every passing year.
I believe that drawing out an appropriate amount of power from it will not pose much risk."
Bai Ze also knew the consequences of letting the Peacock King break free. The present Wilds had no power capable of resisting him. The other Savage Tribes might perhaps survive, but the Sixty-Four Ancestral Lands would surely be completely bloodbathed!
Yet he had no other choice. Forced by the situation, he could only seek power from the past.
"Appropriate? What I fear is that once this opening is made, it will become impossible to stop. Then we truly will be courting self-destruction!"
Yue Mian was not nearly so optimistic. Once power could be acquired so easily, the temptation would only grow, until it devoured the entire Wilds race.
"That is why I summoned you back, so you could help keep things in check.
