1380 Breaking the Façade

“The Elder Council can be convened at any time!”

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar figure.

“The Dark Domain Supremacy?”

“Elder Lin, you’ve exited seclusion?”

“Elder Lin, you’ve finally exited seclusion.”

A trace of joy appeared on the faces of Supremacy Round Heart and Supremacy Magnum when they saw Lin Feng exit seclusion. As for the other Supremacies, they seemed to be all Supremacies under Supremacy First Light. When he saw Lin Feng, he could only snort coldly and say, “All right. Since Elder Dark Domain has exited seclusion, hurry up and hold the Elder Council. The Elder Council will be held in the council hall tomorrow morning. I hope you can arrive on time.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Lin Feng saw the fatigue on the faces of Supremacy Round Heart and Supremacy Magnum. He could not help but frown and say, “Supremacy Round Heart, Supremacy Magnum, what’s going on? Where are Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path? With the four of you around, even if the Elder Council is convened, we have nothing to fear from Supremacy First Light and the others.”

Indeed, even if Lin Feng did not participate, there were still four people on Supremacy Round Heart’s side. Four votes to four. There was no need to fear Supremacy First Light and the others at all.

Supremacy Round Heart’s expression darkened as he said, “They went missing. Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path have been missing for a total of three years. Three years ago, Supremacy First Light’s side intended to convene the Elder Council, but we stopped them with the excuse that Elder Lin was in seclusion. We’ve been stalling until today. If Elder Lin still didn’t exit seclusion, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stall any longer.”

“Missing? There’s no traces of them at all for three years?”

Lin Feng frowned. There’s a trace of abnormality in this matter.

The three dignified Supremacy elders were all powerful Supremacies with 20 million worlds, or close to 20 million worlds. They were also within the sphere of influence of the First Light. How could they have disappeared for no reason?

Lin Feng thought of a possibility.

“Could they have already fallen?”

If Lin Feng could think of this possibility, how could Supremacy Round Heart and Supremacy Magnum not have thought of this possibility after three whole years? They were just unwilling to believe it.

Supremacy Magnum gritted his teeth and enunciated each word, “I once went to question Supremacy First Light, but Supremacy First Light denied it with all he had. Hmph, in my opinion, Supremacy First Light did it. Otherwise, who could do anything to two Supremacy elders? Moreover, according to my investigation after the incident, the two Supremacy elders seemed to have both received an invitation. After that, they left and went to a certain chiliocosm domain corridor. However, when I investigated the matter further, I couldn’t find anything. The evidence there appeared to be cleaned up, and not even a trace could be found.”

Even though Supremacy Round Heart and Supremacy Magnum both had their speculations, they could not believe it. Would Supremacy First Light really go back on his promise back then, and kill Supremacy elders like them?

It had to be known that the nine Supremacy elders were not just the rulers of First Light. Rather, they had a friendship developed over billions of years, and were lifelong friends like brothers.

Even if there was discord in their ideals now, it definitely would not get to the point of hostility. In fact, despite engaging in conflict previously, no matter what, they would not think that Supremacy First Light and the others would kill them.

Even though they had some guesses, they could not believe it no matter what.

“Then is Supremacy First Light summoning us and convening the Elder Council for a vote this time?”

“That’s right, we’ll be voting! There are very few of us this time, only three Supremacy elders, and there are four Supremacies on Supremacy First Light’s side. If the elders make a vote, we will lose.”

Supremacy Magnum’s expression was dark. Who would have thought that three years ago, the situation was still in their favor? There were five Supremacies on their side, and they had all the advantages, suppressing Supremacy First Light’s side completely?

But now, the situation had actually reversed in an instant.

Once the vote was held, they were very likely to suffer a crushing defeat. The First Light would be incorporated into the Opulent Lodge. This was an outcome that they absolutely could not accept.

“From the looks of it, it’s imperative to find Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path. Whether the two of them were killed or not, we need to know their situation.”

Lin Feng quickly found the key to resolving the situation, and that was the two Supremacy elders, Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path. He had to find their whereabouts. Even if they were really killed, he had to obtain conclusive evidence to prove that their deaths were related to Supremacy First Light.

Only then could the Elder Council’s vote be rendered meaningless.

In particular, without personally witnessing the deaths of the two Supremacy elders, Supremacy Round Heart and Supremacy Magnum still harbored illusions about Supremacy First Light. They still could not believe that Supremacy First Light would kill them.

This kind of reluctant mentality was very likely to be used by Supremacy First Light’s side.

This was not because Supremacy Round Heart and the others were naive, but because they had known each other for billions of years. No one would believe that Supremacy First Light would really kill people who shared a lifelong friendship with him.

That was, unless they could see it with their own eyes!

At this thought, Lin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. “Supremacy Magnum, do you know which chiliocosm domain corridor Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path went to in the end?”

“Of course I know. They went to the Tide Star Chiliocosm Domain Corridor in the end.”

“All right, let’s go to the Tide Star Chiliocosm Domain Corridor. I should have a way to find out their whereabouts.”

“Elder Lin has a solution? That’s great. Let’s set off immediately!”

Then, Supremacy Magnum quickly rushed to the chiliocosm domain corridor with Lin Feng and Supremacy Round Heart.

The empty Tide Star Chiliocosm Domain Corridor looked desolate, vast, and boundless. There were no traces left behind at all.

“This is the place. It’s in the range of a radius of about a million miles. There shouldn’t be much deviation,” Supremacy Magnum said affirmatively.

Then, Supremacy Magnum and Supremacy Round Heart both looked at Lin Feng. They also wanted to know what method Lin Feng had to find the whereabouts of Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path.

Lin Feng placed his hands behind his back and took a deep breath. His gaze suddenly became profound.

He did not search for any clues immediately. Instead, he asked Supremacy Round Heart and Supremacy Magnum, “Supremacies, I’m indebted to the care of the two of you for all these years. Although the two of you did not ask, you probably still have a question in mind: how can I improve so quickly? Right?”

Lin Feng spoke directly, as if breaking a façade.

This was an unspoken mutual understanding between everyone. Supremacy Round Heart and the others would not take the initiative to ask, because they were respectful of Lin Feng’s secrets. However, Lin Feng knew that this matter could not be concealed at all.

In the past, it could be said that he was concealing his strength, but what about in the future?

In just a few years, his strength had increased by several times. Then, it could not be explained by “concealing his strength”. Hence, it was better to take the initiative to confess and expose the truth.

This way, Lin Feng could still take some initiative.

As expected, as Lin Feng took the initiative to ask, Supremacy Round Heart and Supremacy Magnum were both a little moved. It was impossible to say that they were not interested in such a huge secret.

Hence, Supremacy Round Heart pondered for a moment before saying slowly, “Please elaborate!”

Their gazes were only focused on Lin Feng. There was also a trace of scrutiny, curiosity, and… yearning in their eyes!
