A single word, thunderous as a bolt.
Almost every member of the council around the round table widened their eyes, as though they had heard something unimaginable.
But...
After recovering from the shock, everyone found it only natural.
The worst-case scenario was indeed nothing more than this.
It was merely that, over the years, they had been forced into a state of disliking thought, so they had failed to react to this point at once.
"Dao Qiongchang, everything you mentioned is the worst-case scenario. But the seal on Void Island's Inner Island has remained thus for tens of thousands of years. Ba Zunan alone is probably not enough to break it."
Yan Wuse was the first to voice his opinion.
There were so many Saint Emperor-level beings on Void Island's Inner Island, yet after all these years, they still had not been able to break through the seal.
Even with one more Ba Zunan, even if the forces inside twisted into a single rope, they should not be able to disregard the Forbidden Law Barrier.
Dao Qiongchang looked over with a smile. "When the Judgment Division sentenced Ba Zunan into Void Island's Inner Island, they never expected him to become the master of the Black-and-White Branches, nor did they expect him to return to the Five Domains unnoticed under the suppression of the Forbidden Law Barrier and the Martial-Sealing Talisman."
As soon as those words fell, everyone fell silent.
Indeed, Ba Zunan was so ferocious he barely seemed human.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they could not imagine how that fellow, who back then had barely reached the Sovereign stage and had not even earned the title of Seven Sword Immortal, could enter Void Island's Inner Island and subdue those Saint Emperors who were like living fossils.
