Chapter 4790  The Heavenly Blight Hall's Preparations

Mingzhi returned after dealing with Fiora and Ellia, after an extensive explanation she gave to them about the Starshroud Family's Astral Cultivation Method, which appeared to have a lot of differences with the regular Astral Cultivation Method she found and bought on the black market.

She couldn't tell whether the regular Astral Cultivation Methods were genuine, but they did share similarities with the Starshroud Family's manual, so she considered them as references.

However, they couldn't verify it since they hadn't met with an Astral Cultivator.

Still, there were a few other methods that they could try. They even tried the meditative method to sense the astral stars, but couldn't sense much. It was as expected since it was described that one needed to be a mortal to be attuned to the astral ocean. It wasn't because mortals were special but because immortals were filled with an extreme amount of immortal energy that their perception of the astral stars tended to be obstructed or clouded, disallowing them to sense the vast amount of stars in the universe.

It would apparently be the same to those who cultivated astral energy since this astral energy came from particular stars and would cloud their perception they have to the millions and billions of other stars. Hence, one needed to be clear and empty, which meant being a mortal without any energy.

It turns out that their Arc, who couldn't even consolidate his immortal vessel and retain energy, was a genius in the realm of astral cultivation, at least according to the texts and Lydia.

Nonetheless, Mingzhi didn't have time to deal with learning the intricacies of the Astral Cultivation Method at the moment.

She exited and did a head count of the people who were transported from other Sanctuaries by Stella earlier. Drake, Fenren, Soaren, Andiron, and everyone from the major powers under the Davis Family had already been gathered and were waiting to move. Even the Ghostly Crow Realm Master, Yughen, and the Whispering Wildlands Realm Master, Esmond Stavenger, were willing to come along with them.

After all, even if they returned to being Realm Masters, they would soon be arrested after the Davis Family left the Lower Realms. In that case, they might very well throw their lot to them and increase their strengths.

Confirming that they were ready, all that was left was to discuss a few matters with Dark Archbishop Cyprusio and Karyot. Stella would return soon, and they could all leave as early as tomorrow.

Checking everything with a nervous heart, Mingzhi left the Sanctuary along with Karyot and went to the determined place to meet with Dark Archbishop Cyprusio.

In a secluded palace hidden inside a formation, Dark Archbishop Cyprusio welcomed them.

"Your Supreme Eminence, Mingzhi. I had the fortune of witnessing your battle with the Venerable Knights. Your tenacity, ruthlessness, and vengeful nature left me in awe. If there wasn't a Divine Emperor of Death, I am sure my Heavenly Blight Hall would do everything in its power to invite you to become one of our Dark Apostles."

Dark Archbishop Cyprusio brought them inside the grand hall and gestured for them to sit humbly.

Karyot sat, but he harrumphed without disguising his emotions, "Don't join the Heavenly Blight Hall. They have no sense of right or wrong. Just like most Heaven's Warriors don't see casualties when they hunt Divergents, they don't see innocent casualties while they assassinate Heaven's Warriors. They are two of a kind."

Dark Archbishop Cyprusio merely smiled, "This person is…?"

"Just a trusted individual who is also a Divergent." Mingzhi uttered calmly, "Dark Archbishop, my husband holds power within your Heavenly Blight Hall as the Fifth Dark Apostle. If you recognize it, to what lengths would you go to rescue him?"

Dark Archbishop Cyprusio was about to sit, but paused upon hearing that question.

He straightened his back and then knelt, his fist hitting his palm, "The Heavenly Blight Hall will use everything in its power to save our Dark Apostles if they're being hunted. We will throw the world into chaos if that is what it requires."

Karyot frowned at the second sentence, but Mingzhi nodded.

"Good, with that kind of zealous loyalty to the Dark Apostles, I think I can rest assured with what I'm about to say. Wake up your leader from his seclusion and make some chaos in the Upper Realms."

"…" Dark Archbishop Cyprusio was stunned.

Wake up their leader? What kind of notion was that?

Most of the members wouldn't even be able to meet the Dark Apostles, much less their leader? And to have their leader exit seclusion and command him to make some chaos, was this woman before him a bit insane in the head?

"If you can't do it, I'll force my husband to leave the Heavenly Blight Hall immediately. A power that is useless to us when we need it the most can stay useless, plus abandoned."

"Your supreme eminence, we have already come to an agreement that the Dark Apostles will make chaos and strike the Heaven's Warriors when the Divine Emperor of Death undergoes his tribulation. Our leader is not someone who could be moved with words alone."

"Is that so?" Mingzhi sighed as she stood up, "Then leave it. If your leader won't make a move, then the Heavenly Blight Hall is as good as useless from now on. We won't be enemies, but we won't be allies either, so mind your standing when you see us next time."

"Wait…" Dark Archbishop Cyprusio stood up, "I never said I'm unwilling to relay this request. I need some time."

"It doesn't work that way since we're in a hurry. You relay my words to your leader. They move out and help us or not. That's their wish. Depending on their move, the Fifth Dark Apostle will reevaluate his relations with the Heavenly Blight Hall. You have one job- to not disappoint your leader, who personally wanted to recruit the Fifth Dark Apostle into the Heavenly Blight Hall, no matter the cost."

Dark Archbishop Cyprusio's expression churned as he watched Mingzhi leave.

Karyot sneered at him before following Mingzhi.

He had already told Mingzhi not to form relations with the Heavenly Blight Hall since their group had already clashed with them a few times, but he couldn't stop her.

After they left, a silhouette in a dark hooded robe appeared near the other side of the grand hall's entrance.

"So bossy?"

"Second Dark Apostle!"

Dark Archbishop Cyprusio went aghast as he saw the newcomer, instantly kneeling in fear.
