The sun was setting in the west, and plumes of fiery red clouds covered the burnt orange sky.
The beautiful red cloud seemed to be staining the light red, and it made the entire sky appear even more vast.
Somehow, even the setting of the sun even appeared slower.
Under the quiet sky, in an enormous ancient house, a silver-haired woman was slamming the table in the meeting room furiously.
The other people seated around the table looked angry at first.
But after the silver-haired woman slammed the table, the rest of them lowered their heads.
Even the imposing old man seated at the head of the table dared not meet the silver-haired woman’s gaze.
“Fan Linglong! I let you prattle on for almost two hours. I didn’t speak at first because I’m the source of the problem. But you didn’t have to chide me for two whole hours! The Kill Food Worm escaped on its own. How did it become my fault just because I was the first to notice and chase after it? None of
you idiots even knew that the Kill Food Worm had escaped, so what gives you the right to blame me?”
The elderly man seated at the head of the table pursed his lips and muttered, “Elder Sister. I was attending the Guard Ye Banquet. I would never dare to scold you for two hours. I just mentioned the matter and did a collation of the resources we had used to nurture the Kill Food Worm. But you’re right.
They’re all idiots. How could they not have noticed immediately when the Kill Food Worm escaped?”
The silver-haired woman slapped the table and stood up to shriek, “Fan Linglong, you finally said your true feelings! I also didn’t notice immediately! You’re trying to call me an idiot!”
Cage of Brahma Insects leader cleared his throat before replying, “Elder Sister, sit down, Leave me some of my pride in front of all these juniors. Even if you did lose the Kill Food Worm, we can sustain the loss of a mere pinnacle Myth II Kill Food Worm! The crux of the matter is the Moon Empress’
disciple. Elder Sister…”
Fan Linglong paused for a moment before continuing. “The Kill Food Worm attacked the Moon Empress’ disciple in the presence of Mystic Moon.”
The silver-haired woman scoffed before sitting back down.
The rest of the people around the table raised their heads and continued the meeting.
The middle-aged people present did not look perturbed as though such situations were common.
Fan Linglong was still observing the silver-haired woman’s expression. He could tell that his Elder Sister was truly enraged, and her expression was just as sour when she sat down.
Fan Linglong was very uncomfortable.
He knew that she had given the Kill Food Worm to the Moon Empress’ disciple to save her own life and to form a connection with Lin Yuan.
The Cage of Brahma Insects appeared impressive as they had remained as one of the top three factions for the last 30 years.
However, all of the Cage of Brahma Insects’ achievements came from the Elder Sister’s efforts.
The Cage of Brahma Insects had been able to climb up the ranks because they had continuously eliminated other factions during blood pact ultimate fights.
In one blood pact ultimate fight, the Cage of Brahma Insects had conquered the top faction that had a similar role to the Cage of Brahma Insects.
After the Cage of Brahma Insects had taken over the other faction’s resources, their progress skyrocketed, and they started to dominate the insect-species fey market.
But it was also because of the blood pact ultimate fights that almost all of the Cage of Brahma Insects’ top experts were dead or injured.
At that time, Fan Linglong had still been unable to succeed Cage of Brahma Insects. As such, Elder Sister had taken the reins.
She might not be powerful and had just reached thearch-class, but her ability to develop a faction was strong.
In 20 years, Elder Sister had secured Cage of Brahma Insects’ position and laid the foundation for it to remain as one of the top three factions.
When Fan Linglong grew up, Elder Sister handed the faction over to him.
Thus, all of the main members of the Cage of Brahma Insects respected Elder Sister as much as they respected him.
Moreover, Fan Linglong was still under Elder Sister’s thumb.
Regardless, Fan Linglong was still the leader of Cage of Brahma Insects, and he would not disregard the main topic on account of Elder Sister’s emotions.
Just as Fan Linglong was about to speak again, Fan Jianyi said, “I know this meeting is also meant to discuss the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.”
Fan Linglong hurriedly said, “Chengzhi, tell us about the information that you gathered on the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls over the last few days.”
Fan Chengzhi stood up and announced, “I heard that the Moon Empress’ disciple is close with Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Dark Clouds Bird Shrine and that all their high-class Creation Masters now have a Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl.
“Coiling Dragon’s Valley has always used their relationship with Lord Bamboo Monarch and has never been connected to the Moon Empress. Dark Clouds Bird Shrine doesn’t have the right to be linked to the Moon Empress, Lord Chef Supreme, or Lord Bamboo Monarch.
“This means that Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Dark Clouds Bird Shrine probably obtained the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls through Long Tao and Li Xuan. I personally asked the First Elder of Dark Clouds Bird Shrine. Although he didn’t tell me the source of the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, he said that Dark
Clouds Bird Shrine has decided to make Li Xuan the Young Leader.”
Fan Chengzhi glanced at Fan Jianyi and sat back down when he did not notice anything strange about Fan Jianyi’s expression.
Cage of Brahma Insects had always depended on their relationship with the Moon Empress, and many of the Elders’ disciples’ feys were evolved by the Moon Empress.
It should be easy for Cage of Brahma Insects to obtain the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls from the Moon Empress.
