Chapter 963: Chapter 385: Sparrow Pecks at the Eye (Part 3)
Furthermore, within our Divine Sect, the number of Star Official Seals held by the leader or possessed altogether is only twenty-five.
Now, there is an extra one." Execution True Monarch said.
Upon these words, the senior members of the Baidou Divine Sect looked at each other.
If this is the case, the missing Divine Dao True Intent amounts to two!
This is getting quite troublesome.
One must know that even at the level of the Four Phases True Man, the acquired Divine Dao True Intent is only two.
The Sect Hierarch also has only five.
And with five, one can make a breakthrough from the Eighth Tier to the Ninth Tier.
"This... Under normal circumstances, that’s impossible! Even if someone obtained our lost Star Official Seal and refined it, they still couldn’t channel the Divine Dao True Intent! To channel the Divine Dao True Intent, apart from the Star Official Seal, one must also have the Star Battle True God’s Divine Statue.
It is only when the fragment of the Divine Bone within the statue is activated, that it can channel the Divine Dao True Intent.
In other words, we haven’t lost even a fragment of the Divine Bone." the Five Directions True Monarch said.
"You mean someone refined the Star Official Seal, then hid beside a Star Battle True God Statue erected by another Star Officer of our sect, and intercepted a strand of Divine Dao True Intent..."
Halfway through speaking, the Sect Hierarch of the Divine Sect realized.
There’s no other possibility, only that!
"It seems, the thief I encountered in the Lan Mountain Star Domain must be a repeat offender. He already possesses a Star Official Seal and is here with the intent to steal a second one.
He might even have intercepted the Divine Dao True Intent that our sect painstakingly managed to summon!
This thief has grand ambitions!
And the young man I met in the Lan Mountain Star Domain was only a young person at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Fourth Tier who had consolidated his Primordial Spirit!
In theory, he shouldn’t know the secrets of our sect.
Nor should he have such schemes and strength!
There must be a master behind him!"
The Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch analyzed thus, partly based on facts, partly to save some face for his earlier failure.
After all, the stronger the enemy behind the scenes, the more normal his failure would seem.
After all, what he projected over was only an avatar of his Primordial Spirit.
It only embodied twenty percent of his Primordial Spirit’s power.
"Hidden True Monarch!"
Whether by divine insight or luck, the Vermilion Bird True Man suddenly spoke, "Hierarch, it must be the Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce! Otherwise, the Star Official Seals under my Vermilion Bird’s command wouldn’t have been lost twice.
Moreover, both consecutively lost Seals were within the Star Domains collaborating with Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce.
When the first one was lost, I had that suspicion.
But I dared not presume.
Now that both Star Official Seals were lost in Star Domains collaborating with Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce, and at the crucial point when the Divine Dao True Intent descended.
I believe Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce is highly suspicious!"
Upon saying this, the Vermilion Bird True Man received an approving glance from the Baidou Divine Sect Hierarch.
It was just what he intended.
It also helped to restore some dignity to him as the Hierarch.
"What do you all think?" the Hierarch asked.
"Hierarch, Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce indeed appears very suspicious! Especially as it involves the Divine Dao True Intent, and Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce is also stuck at the Seventh Tier Ninth Layer bottleneck." the Five Directions True Monarch said.
"Then what do you think should be done?" the Divine Sect Hierarch asked.
"Hierarch, it’s best not to act rashly at this moment.
Firstly, although the Hierarch has broken through to the Ninth Tier, now is not the right time to reveal oneself, otherwise it could easily become the target of every top adversary in the mortal world.
As the Divine Sect Cave Heaven reveals itself, we should seize the opportunity to expand the Divine Sect Cave Heaven and enhance its power.
Secondly, Hidden True Monarch Chai Ce is currently very important to us.
After all, the Divine Dao True Intent won’t dissipate, and even if it was taken by him, it can stay with him for the time being.
Then we can take our time to plan.
Seek opportunities to subdue and control." Execution True Monarch said.
"This suggestion is very sound!"
The Divine Sect Hierarch nodded, "Let’s proceed as you said! For the time being, consider this matter as if it never happened, and watch what this Hidden True Monarch does."
After saying this, the Hierarch’s gaze shifted again to the Vermilion Bird True Man, making the latter suddenly anxious.
"According to the Divine Sect’s laws, lost Star Official Seals must be recovered within three months, failing which, the severest penalty shall be imposed. However, this time, due to extenuating circumstances, you won’t be held accountable for losing the Star Official Seal.
Focus on cultivating and strengthening your power, and serve the Divine Sect!"
"Thank you Hierarch for your mercy!"
In an instant, the Vermilion Bird True Man felt a great relief as if granted a pardon.
He considered himself to have escaped this calamity!
