Chapter 466: [Bonus Chapter] 466 | The Mysterious Man and Woman In The Heavenly Oracle Sect

The atmosphere in the Main Hall of Heavenly Oracle Sect was pretty tense.

It had been like this for the last few weeks; however, it was especially tense today.

But the major thing to note was that today it was not the Elders of the Sect who were trembling. Instead, it was the Grand Elder's turn.

The three Grand Elders of the Heavenly Oracle Sect stood at the peak of the Middle Heavens.

However, they were afraid that one wrong move and they would lose their lives at this moment.

They had their heads lowered as sweat dripped on the floor from their foreheads.

Surprisingly, they were not seated on the main chairs this time. Instead, they stood at the center of the Main Hall, facing their own seats.

They stood like accused criminals waiting for the jury's verdict.

In front of them, their seats were not actually empty.

Instead, two people sat on two of the three high seats, while the third one was empty.

One of the two was a young woman, while the other one was also of her age, but a man.

Between their seats was an exquisite table with wine placed on it.

As the young man took a sip of his wine, the woman beside him stared dead into the eyes of the Head Grand Elder of the Heavenly Oracle Sect.

"Do you have any idea what has happened?" The woman said.

The other two Grand Elders glanced at the Head Grand Elder, forcing him to be the one to answer, "Your Highness…. The Emblem… the Emblem had appeared."

The man paused his hands, holding the glass for a moment, then once again resumed drinking wine as if nothing happened.

The girl, however, showed disdain towards the Head Grand Elder's words, "Emblem? Those are mere toys. Don't mention them again in front of us, or else you will lose your tongue."

"I apologize, Your Highness!" The Head Grand Elder gulped and immediately kneeled.

The girl took a deep breath and stood up.

The two remaining Grand Elder stepped back out of instinct.

The young woman smirked and then glanced at the Head Grand Elder kneeling in front of her; she said, "Let me make you aware of a few details regarding the situation."

"There's a time cycle which was much needed, but because of an unexpected variable, the cycle is disrupted, disturbing our mother's rest."

The three elders gulped at the mere mention of the 'mother'.

They had only seen a glimpse of her, and if it was not for the pity of the two people in front of them, all three would have turned to dust long ago.

"Mother had told us that the real timeline cannot be restored anymore because just like the other timelines, that was destroyed by a timeline, which was the current we're part of."

The Third Grand Elder pursed his lips and spoke for the first time in this meeting, "Does that mean this is the new and original timeline now?"

"Exactly," The young woman smiled at him and then added, "However, we don't know the end result this time. Therefore, we're here to tell you that your workload has now increased, and you have also lost an important member of the group."

"What is the workload? And whom did we lose?" The Third Grand Elder was quite confused about the situation.

The woman smiled and stepped forward and stood in front of the Head Grand Elder.

She then said, "Your main responsibility will now be the growth of Wang Yao. He's an important catalyst for us to get Ye Tian Yun. There's a big event about to happen in the Upper Heavens, so there's a high chance this will be our last meeting for the next few years."

"And as for the person that you have lost -!"

"UGH!"

Thud!

Suddenly, a head rolled down near the feet of the young woman.

She looked at it with a sweet smile and finished her sentence.

"- is your Head Elder."

Before the remaining two Grand Elders could react, the young man stood up and said, "This was a personal order from the Mother."

And then glancing at the Third Elder, the young man threw a token at him and said, "You will be the new Head Elder. No need to hide your cultivation. Tell me the details of your findings in the Lower Heavens."

The Third Grand Elder was ecstatic at the sudden opportunity. However, it didn't last for more than a second when a thought flashed in his mind.

'The next to die will be me….'

The Third Grand Elder moved forward and slowly began to explain the finding from the Silver Mist City.

"....Your Highness, the battle was long over, and the mysterious saint had long disappeared from the spot. We don't have any proof if the Emblem appeared there or not, but we know one thing that there's a high chance that a Token appeared."

"Hm…" The young woman frowned, "Did you use the techniques to find the possible parties?"

The Grand Elder nodded, "We did, but we found nothing. However-"

"Alright, that's enough." The young woman suddenly frowned and put her hand on her stomach.

The young man moved forward and stared at the young woman's stomach, "Has the pain returned?"

The woman lightly nodded.

This made the young man frown.

"That bitch forced you to use the forbidden technique to interfere in someone's emotions and thoughts. Why; why don't you say anything about it?"

The man snarled.

"It's alright," The woman took a pill and said, "Let's go back. I am afraid the backlash is severe."

The man nodded, "Alright," Then, turning towards the Grand Elder, he said with disdain, "Did you at least interrogate the main clans or sects of that city? We need at least something."

"I did," The Third Grand Edler nodded, "There was a small clan called Zheng Clan."

"I tortured and interrogated them for ten days, but they didn't utter a word. We know that they were hiding something. However, no one said a word about the situation, and in the end, I had no choice but to kill all of them."

The man shook his head, "It was just an insignificant clan, but still, too loyal for their own good. Just a bunch of idiots, in my opinion."

Before the Grand Elder could reply, the man had left the hall with the young woman.
