Even the great tribulation they had to face every thirty thousand years left them too little time to prepare.
Just as the atmosphere sank once more into an awkward silence,
The Heavenly Star Sect Master, Bai Suxin, suddenly closed her eyes. The slender arm holding her wine cup trembled slightly.
A little of the fine wine spilled from the cup despite her control.
That tiny movement instantly drew the attention of the other Nine Sons of the Endless Sea sect masters present.
As Tribulation-Crossing Pseudo-Immortal Powerhouses, they had long since learned to keep their composure no matter what happened.
For Bai Suxin, their fellow ally and a Tribulation-Crossing Pseudo-Immortal Powerhouse herself, to be shaken so deeply
could only mean something momentous had happened.
While everyone wondered what it might be,
Bai Suxin, the Heavenly Star Sect Master, suddenly opened her eyes, which had been tightly closed. Her voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.
"The North Sea Nangong has crossed the line!"
Those few words snapped everyone out of their speculation.
The ease vanished from their faces, replaced by grave concern.
The Heavenly Star Sect stood where the Southern Sea Dragon Palace and North Sea Dragon Palace territories met. It was bound to be keenly alert to danger.
If word had reached Bai Suxin herself, the North Sea Dragon Palace's incursion was no small matter.
This was no provocation by lowly underlings, nor a special envoy sent to visit the Nine Sons of the Endless Sea. They meant to strike.
The dispute between the Southern Sea Dragon Palace Seventh Prince's Manor and the Tianyan Sect of the Nine Sons of the Endless Sea had yet to be settled.
Now the North Sea Dragon Palace, somewhat weaker than its southern counterpart, had chosen to involve itself in this tangled affair.
