Paradise of Demonic Gods

Chapter 919 Meeting

Priest Tie lowered his head like he did not understand the contempt in the other party’s words. "Lord Fang Xingjian’s cultivation is astonishing, and he’s able to understand the world’s profoundness thoroughly. It’s my honor to be the subordinate of a person like this."

"Haha," the Gray Army’s representative chuckled, feeling increasingly contemptuous toward the White Army.

He lifted his head and looked at the land in the Sacred White Crevice. An insuppressible sense of desire to monopolize it rose in his heart.

’This land should also come under the control of our army.’

The Gray Army possessed an intense desire to monopolize. The group that they formed could be said to be the most disciplined out of the 13 armies. Almost the entire army was strictly regulated, and everything was within the commander’s control.

The Gray Army’s envoy followed Priest Tie to a side hall and saw that Priest Longmai was already there, waiting to receive him.

Priest Longmai cupped his hands together and said, "It’s been a while, Mister Grimm. I wonder for what matter have you come here for this visit."

Grimm nodded. Although Priest Longmai was not considered to be the best in terms of strength amongst the commanders, he was undeniably at the top in terms of both seniority and age. Therefore, Grimm had to remain respectful.

"Priest Longmai, our Gray Army—as well as the Black Army and the Yellow Army—have decided to call for a meeting and determine the jurisdiction for the newly discovered page of the Book of Wisdom. At that time, the representatives from the other armies will also come."

Hearing Grimm’s words, Priest Longmai frowned. He knew that what was meant to come was finally here.

This was unlike the situation of how the 13 armies had fought for the Book of Wisdom at the very beginning. After so many years passed by, the 13 armies decided on the rule that after a page of the Book of Wisdom was discovered, each army would send out a representative and decide on its jurisdiction.

The army which obtained the page would also have to provide the remaining 12 armies with the appropriate compensation.

If it were in the past, Priest Longmai knew that their faction’s powers and influence would both have been too weak to fight for the book’s pages. Moreover, he was too engrossed in the pursuit of Dao that he could not be bothered to attending the meeting and would tend to just give up.

However, with Fang Xingjian backing him up now, Priest Longmai became a lot more confident. He unknowingly straightened his back and said, "I’ve got it. I’ll inform the Commander about this."

Grimm frowned. Priest Longmai’s confidence made him feel a little uneasy. Like giving a kind reminder, he could not help but add, "This time around, Lord Grade seems determined to get his hands on it. You best think of what compensation to give."

Priest Longmai smiled and said, "Haha, thanks for your concern. It’s just that this time around, our White Army will probably want to fight for it as well."

Grimm’s gaze glimmered, and he asked with an intention to probe, "It’s because of that Fang Xingjian? Longmai my old friend, you must think through this carefully. Grade isn’t someone that’s easy to get along with. The Black Army gathered many wills into one body. Right now, he’s at a crucial point of clearing up the wills, and the Book of Wisdom is of great importance to him.

"It won’t do you any good to anger him."

"Haha, there’s no need for you to worry about the details."

A hint of curiosity flashed in Grimm’s eyes. He wanted to ask about Fang Xingjian’s actual background. It was surprising that he could actually give Priest Longmai such great confidence to stand up against Grade.

However, Priest Longmai was clearly not intending to tell Grimm about Fang Xingjian. After discussing the meeting’s time and location, he sent Grimm off.

After doing that, Priest Longmai wore an excited expression like a little kid as he headed to where Fang Xingjian was training in seclusion.

The White Army had remained quiet for far too long. However, right now, with Fang Xingjian backing them up, it was finally time for them to walk with their heads’ held high.

Priest Longmai came before Fang Xingjian and reported, "Sir, as expected, it’s the Black Army’s Grade. He did not receive our reply even after a very long time, so he has now called for a meeting to come to a joint agreement on the jurisdiction of the page from the Book of Wisdom."

Jessica sat quietly in front of Fang Xingjian. Her expression was filled with great respect.

Right now, Jessica had already put a white ring on her finger. After being able to control the ring’s powers, she was better able to sense how great Fang Xingjian was.

Standing before Fang Xingjian, she could sense that he was vast and boundless like the sky, and there was no end to how majestic the powers in his body were.

There was also a total of 12 pages made from unknown metals, that were neither gold nor silver, floating slowly before Fang Xingjian. They were the pages of the Book of Wisdom.

Other than the one page that came from Jessica, the other 11 pages were all from the White Army’s collection.

It was clear from this that the White Army’s position amongst the 13 armies really was not high. In fact, it could be said that most of the discovered pages of the Book of Wisdom were already in the hands of the other armies.

Fang Xingjian looked at the Book of Wisdom’s pages before him, and a hint of contemplation shone in his eyes. "Interesting. The Book of Wisdom is very helpful to me. Do you know where there are more of these?"

...

A few days later, in the closest city to the Kun Lun Mountains’ snow plains that was filled with people and bustling with activity...

Inside a huge hall, workers were everywhere, arranging things.

Many cameras and video cameras were set up like many longspears and cannons.

This civilization was also on Earth, but due to the 13 armies’ existence, the secular world in this world had gone through a great difference.

Although the respective countries’ government was still around, the rulers at the very top had long been changed to the respective armies. Even ordinary people understood the existences of extraordinary powers.

The Black Army and Gray Army had even controlled many countries due to their nature.

The meeting that had been called upon this time around was also one that was made public. It immediately attracted the attention of countless media companies.

"Hello everyone, this is CATV bringing to you the latest news..."

"A new page of the Book of Wisdom has been discovered, and the 13 armies are each sending a representative to decide on its jurisdiction..."

"This is the 2,032nd page of the Book of Wisdom that has been made known to the public. It seems that it won’t be long before the entire Book of Wisdom is gathered."

"The White Army has had a change of leader. Let’s take a look at the information regarding the White Army’s latest leader—Fang Xingjian..."

Just then, many gasps rang out amongst the crowd, and numerous cameras were pointed toward the sky.

As a stream of yellow light flashed by, a lady who was encompassed entirely by a yellow army landed slowly.

The yellow armor, which the lady was wearing, was very exquisite. Not only did it hug her figure, but it also accentuated her great curves. There was no color of blood shown on her pale face, and she landed on the ground expressionlessly as she walked toward the hall.

Despite this, she still created a great commotion the moment she landed. Terrified expressions appeared on the faces of countless people. Most of the members of staff were breaking out in cold sweat and did not dare to look at her straight in the face, let alone the other people who were just crowding around.

"It’s the Witch of Trepidation."

"Is she the representative for the Yellow Army this time around?"

"Ssss! This woman is extremely difficult to deal with. It seems that the Yellow Army does not wish to give up on this page of the Book of Wisdom either."
