The sea of clouds over the sacred mountain, the Dark Palace, the residence of the Palace Master.
The temple master and Elder Gu Ming were drinking heartily and chatting casually.
The wine was clear in color and had a wisp of aroma, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary product.
Gu Ming raised his wine glass and flattered:
"This cup is offered to the Palace Master. Under the wise leadership of the Palace Master, the Dark Palace is becoming stronger and stronger."
The tasks assigned by superiors are always completed in excess.
"Now that the Palace Master has returned, he will surely rise rapidly in rank. I hope you will take care of him then."
The temple master downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then waved his hand with a smile.
"Haha, Gu Ming, you flatter me. This is all thanks to everyone. I hope that you will be valued by the organization."
Gu Ming wanted to take advantage of his drunken state to find out some information. The identity and background of the Palace Master had always been very mysterious. He tentatively asked:
"I've heard that the Palace Master has an extraordinary background, and it's a sure thing that he'll be given an important position. Why are you worried about this?"
The temple master looked at him with a smile, "That's hard to say. Background is only part of it; ability is also very important."
Gu Ming felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing this, thinking to herself that it was indeed true that their Palace Master had a powerful background, and that it was the right thing to do to cling to this powerful figure.
He stopped short of making a point and changed the subject.
"I wonder how You Gao and You Min are doing now. Those two are really something. They've been gone for a while now and haven't even sent a message."
The temple master, however, remained calm and composed, and slowly said:
"You know what kind of person You Gao is, he can't stand being idle."
He must have been bored out of his mind all these years. Now that an interesting guy has finally appeared, he's bound to be more talkative and thoughtful.
You Min is a steady person, but when You Gao goes crazy, she is helpless.
"No need to rush. Both of them are at the Great Emperor Realm, plus You Rui at the late stage of the Emperor Realm, and our three guardians of the Dark Palace, I don't believe we can't handle this greenhorn."
Gu Ming thought about it and agreed, "The Palace Master is right, I was too impatient."
The temple master laughed heartily, raised his wine glass, and said, "After this battle for destiny, we will soon be able to leave this place. It's worth a good drink. Come on."
Gu Ming also offered his congratulations: "Haha, congratulations to the Palace Master on breaking free from your shackles! From now on, the sky's the limit!"
The two were in high spirits and raised their glasses to drink it all in one gulp.
Just as the two were enjoying their drinks, a red-robed, masked man rushed in to report.
The man looked flustered, his brows furrowed. "Lord, something terrible has happened!"
The temple master looked at the newcomer with great confusion. "What happened that made you so agitated? Tell me."
As he spoke, he raised his glass, gesturing to Gu Ming to have another drink.
The red-robed, masked man hurriedly said, "The masks of Protectors Yougao and Youmin are broken, but no information has been sent back. I don't know what happened."
Upon hearing this, the temple master frowned, and the wine cup he had raised froze in mid-air. He wondered if he had misheard.
"What did you say? Say it again!"
The red-robed masked man could only repeat himself, "The masks of the two guardians, You Gao and You Min, were shattered, but no information was sent back."
The temple master had lost interest in drinking. He put the wine cup back on the table, and the somewhat ethereal and intoxicating smell of alcohol vanished. His expression immediately became serious.
"Gu Ming, what do you think is going on?"
Gu Ming's expression was equally grim. His mind raced, trying to find the reason. Finally, he thought of something and said somewhat uncertainly:
"Does the Palace Master still remember the scene when we first arrived in the Heavenly Desolate Continent?"
The temple master snorted coldly.
"What's there to say? These people were stubborn and tried to resist, but we wiped out almost all of them at the Emperor level."
Finally, a few stray fish and shrimp escaped and hid.
Gu Ming echoed, "The Palace Master is right, but this also reminds me of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion back then, when it was led by the Zhuge family."
The temple master frowned, recalling the events.
"Tianji Pavilion? The Zhuge family?"
Yes, they've used similar methods before to disrupt the messages conveyed by the ghost masks, causing us a lot of trouble.
"You mean the Zhuge family is making a comeback and opposing us again?"
Gu Ming nodded.
"It's very possible that this young man, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with such strength and the methods he used this time, is very likely a member of the Zhuge family."
They've probably come up with some plan to declare war on us.
The temple master sneered disdainfully.
"They think they can stand up to us? They're dreaming."
They couldn't do it before, and it's even more impossible for them now.
Putting aside our strength, don't forget that after that great battle, we set up a Heaven-Sealing Array here.
Gu Ming chimed in, "What the Palace Master says is true. Even if the Zhuge family comes again, it will be like throwing an egg against a rock."
He also became interested in the formation and tentatively asked:
"Palace Master, this formation is extremely large and complex. It took a lot of effort to build it."
This doesn't seem to belong to any organization. Where did it come from? And what is its function?
The temple master looked at him meaningfully, "I'm leaving soon too, so it's alright to tell you. This is something I brought from the Yuan family."
Gu Ming's eyes widened upon hearing this. "The Yuan family? No wonder."
The red-robed, masked man stared at the Palace Master in shock. "Palace Master, are you from the Yuan family?"
The temple master nodded proudly in acknowledgment.
“That’s right, I come from the Yuan family, and I brought this formation from home.”
Aside from the fact that it requires more effort and consumes more resources when setting up the formation, it has virtually no drawbacks.
It is fully functional, possessing capabilities such as surveillance, blockade, and containment. Once fully activated, everything is under control, and those who are my enemies are nothing to worry about.
