The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 1342 The Black Plain Empire 3

Upon hearing that man's comments, some people who knew nothing about Minos' plans looked at him in curiosity to know his response.

Would he give up on this idea when he realized his mistake? Or would he insist and take a significant risk?

But Minos then laughed back. "That is not the case. I have agreements with the Spiritual Church to keep the previous order of things for a few more years, no matter the situation."

He looked at Gloria and then at Margot. "Isn't that right?"

The two nodded in agreement since both had fallen for Minos' traps. Margot had not yet lost her bet with King Stuart, but judging by his cultivation speed, he would indeed reach level 70, and she would have to forgive him and keep Gloria in the northern region. At the same time, his wife had promised to keep outside powers out of the northern region for some more years, a period that had yet to end.

Margot had to fulfill the agreements signed by her daughter since she was Gloria's superior before this woman reached the 8th stage. So, she could not change anything now, even if Minos had Spiritual Saints on his side!

Hearing that, that envoy of Vogel did not understand and asked. "What are you talking about?"

Margot said. "He is very clever and has tricked the Church into protecting him for a few years... Now even if Vogel becomes part of the Black Plain and his empire is no longer part of the northern region, the rules will still be the same as before."

? Currently, Vogel and the Black Plain were two different states, only with the same sovereign. Thus, there was no political confusion involving the parties. But with the formation of the Empire, the two would become one. Hence the questioning of that Spiritual Saint.

Finally, when he realized his mistake, he remained silent, red with embarrassment, noticing how slippery Minos was in his moves.

Minos then commented in good humor. "But don't worry, if your assembly decides to remove me in a few years, that will be done with ease, won't it, Gloria?"

"Hmmm." She nodded in confirmation.

"But if you want to give me more powers, I won't refuse..." He commented in a low voice, indicating that this possibility was also on the table.

That man took it as a joke and did not want to stick around any longer, quickly saying goodbye and leaving for his destination.

Lulu, on the other hand, after looking at Sarah for a few moments, approached Minos and asked in a low voice. "Why is the princess of the Flaming Empire here?"

"She is one of the envoys from the Empire who usually comes to me," Minos said, part of the truth. "Why? Don't you want me to negotiate peace with the Edwardstone family?"

She looked at him seriously and said. "Of course. I just didn't know that she was predisposed to come here herself! After all, she is the heiress!"

Minos smiled and said. "Are you worried about her safety? There must be some level 78 Spiritual Saint on the outskirts of Dry City hiding while waiting for her."

Hearing this, Lulu forgot the thought in her mind and trembled with fear at the thought of someone so strong as an enemy.

"You wouldn't even be able to scratch her anyway..." Minos casually commented, making Lulu blush.

After that, she did not feel comfortable continuing there and left to check into a hotel, intending to check out the matter for a while longer and do business before returning to Albano.

With that, Minos continued entertaining those newly arrived women while poor Sarah had to endure being hugged by so many different women.

In the end, they all went to hotels, as they wanted to stay there for a few days before leaving for the Flaming Empire.

They were there for Sarah, most of them. But this place developed by Minos was impressive considering its fame a few decades ago. At the same time, the speed at which it was growing was frightening, and they wanted to see a bit of his routine in this place.

In this way, a day's work ended for Minos, and he returned to his residence with Sarah in his arms, along with those three beautiful women who were already tired from the day's commitments.

...

Two days later...

Margot had finally found something to justify her daughter's advancement to level 70 in this still poor region.

The spiritual root of Dry City had improved dramatically since the day Minos arrived there. However, it still paled compared to those of high-level regions, such as Payton.

So Margot was still doubtful how Minos' group could cultivate so fast in this territory.

However, after two days in this city, she discovered the two unique cultivation rooms in this territory while getting to know Sarah. In particular, she knew the room where the younger Black Hole Bomb was, which Minos had made from the items left behind by the God of Death.

After knowing that extreme place where even she got something out of cultivating, this Matriarch rushed to Minos' office to talk to him.

"How did you make that thing? How could someone of your level produce something so powerful?" She questioned him as her curiosity reached new heights.

Margot had already heard that Minos had been able to unleash something that had frightened even low-level Spiritual Sages. But that had only been what she had heard, not what she had seen, as it had happened in this place.

She had felt the power of Minos' Black Hole Bomb and knew that Spiritual Sages would perish if it were detonated. So she could not help but question him about such a thing.

Minos looked at his mother-in-law in his office and said, after pondering for a moment. "I made the black hole and let it evolve by devouring powerful things. Then, after that, I used it the way you saw it."

From how Minos spoke, doing such a thing seemed easy. But Margot knew that something like that would have to devour powerful cultivators to achieve such gigantic power.

"Devoured what?"

"A high-level, medium-level, and low-level grade-4 artifacts." He said to complete shock of this woman.

"Are you kidding?"

"No, we found the inheritance of a guy called the God of Death, but we were forced to destroy everything that had his aura. So I took advantage of the situation and developed something useful for my territory." He did not hide the truth since there was no need for it.

Margot had already seen that cultivation room, so lying to her would only cause unnecessary suspicion. But on the other hand, inheritances like that of such an individual existed in this world, so what he spoke of was not as unique as having a Spatial Kingdom.

As such, Margot understood the situation, only having regretted that such fine items had to be destroyed.

'Well, at least they got something good out of all this...' She pondered quietly, feeling that her son-in-law was not so bad.
