Azure Divine Kingdom, royal capital guesthouse.
As the communication light screen went completely dark.
The gray-white room fell into a deathly silence that made one's blood run cold.
"..."
Ling Mo stared at the communication jade slip in her hand, now turned pitch-black. Her face was so gloomy it seemed water could drip from it.
She then turned her head and looked out the window.
The once-clear sky stretching for miles had now been replaced by a heavy azure curtain of light.
That was the Azure Divine Kingdom's National Protection Array.
The light curtain stretched from heaven to earth.
It meant the entire Azure Royal Capital had been completely cut off from the outside world, becoming an isolated island that allowed entry but forbade exit.
"Damn it!!"
Ling Mo stomped her foot viciously, and a dull boom rang out from the floor. Were it not reinforced by formations, this entire level might have been crushed beneath that stomp!
"Chen Yu, that... idiot!!"
She gritted her teeth, her chest heaving violently.
She had truly overestimated this partner of hers!
She had thought that, as a strong contender for the next board director, that sword cultivator renowned throughout the Star Sea would at least be a sensible person who understood the bigger picture and knew when to advance or retreat.
Who would have thought he was such a fool, one who got hotheaded and impulsive after the slightest provocation!
"Doesn't he see what time it is now?!"
Ling Mo was frantic inside as she paced back and forth through the room.
In the peaceful years of the past, the Star Sea Alliance, as a colossal power within the Myriad Laws Celestial Domain, naturally had no need to put on smiling faces for these Western Divine Kingdoms that each ruled their own territory.
