The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 1078: Myriad Beings Rushing to Report

"Since you are so wise, Brother Tertis, why don’t you elaborate for this stupid donkey to understand?" Divine Lord Paio taunted with sarcasm, feeling almost impressed with himself.

Surprisingly, he no longer exploded with anger at the slightest provocation. Perhaps he was getting used to the taunts, provocations, and insults? Or maybe he simply understood it wasn’t worth getting angry about.

If he got angry at every insult, he would only be feeding the satisfaction of others. On the other hand, ineffectiveness would only produce dissatisfaction. He couldn’t keep falling into other people’s rhythm and becoming the source of their entertainment.

Meanwhile, Divine Lord Tertis didn’t see the result he wanted and simply shrugged.

"Noble Vaan has already captivated the hearts of everyone at this Grand Chamber of Dilemma. Although several million Junior Disciples are just a small number in the Outer Palace, these Junior Disciples are already quickly becoming his most devoted followers."

"Don’t forget there are many other Chamber of Dilemmas within the Outer Palace. Words of Noble Vaan’s boundless generosity and capability will only spread like wildfire from here. If Noble Vaan continues to resolve dilemmas without making a mistake, the Junior Disciples of other Chambers of Dilemmas will only follow the Grand Chamber of Dilemma’s example."

"Even if we give a safe estimate of five million disciples per Chamber of Dilemma, that still adds up to at least fifteen billion disciples across three thousand domains," Divine Lord Tertis stated.

Fifteen billion was not a big number in the Outer Palace. However, for a single faction, it was no longer considered a small force and couldn’t be ignored.

"Fifteen billion is certainly something, alright. I won’t deny that. But do you really think everyone will just watch and let Noble Vaan’s faction form to such a size? No, even if we don’t act on behalf of our lords, someone else will try to hinder his growth," Divine Lord Paio reasonably thought.

"That’s where you are wrong, Brother Paio," Divine Lord Tertis calmly rebutted with a dismissive, condescending downward glance like he was looking down on Divine Lord Paio’s intelligence.

"The Chamber of Dilemmas had been abandoned for countless years. No one sees any value in these useless Junior Disciples. Just because someone started picking up trash, do you think others will join them?"

"How insulting and demeaning would it be to be labeled a Mulm-picker? No, if they tried to copy Noble Vaan, then they would be called Mulm-picker Followers. I doubt anyone wants to have such a label sticking to them," Divine Lord Tertis stated.

More importantly, the Junior Disciples might be useless garbage, but they weren’t uneducated fools. They would be aware of the ulterior motives if many higher-ranking disciples suddenly came to their aid.

As such, their loyalty wouldn’t be as firm as Noble Vaan’s followers.

In the worst case, those Junior Disciples might not even accept their help or be willing to follow them. Instead, they were more likely to head over to the Fish-men Domain’s Grand Chamber of Dilemma to seek out Noble Vaan once the wind of news blew their way.

"Brother Tertis can stay if you wish to continue spectating. I will be taking my leave," Divine Lord Paio suddenly stated.

He had seen and heard enough.

Time was of the essence.

With the growing situation at the Grand Chamber of Dilemma, Divine Lord Paio had to make a rush back and deliver the information to his Lord as soon as possible. He did not want to delay his Lord from making a decision, lest he incur his wrath. ŕ𝘢Ꞑ𝘰ᛒЁＳ

Of course, Divine Lord Paio couldn’t report directly to his Lord, Noble Lusca. He had to deliver the intel to higher-ranking faction members situated in the Outer Palace. Only they could enter the Inner Palace and reach their Lord.

An Outer Palace disciple, such as Divine Lord Paio, did not have the right to enter the sacred land of the Inner Palace.

"Hahaha, this Humble One will also be taking his leave. Take care, Brother Tertis," Divine Lord Buquilus added.

Although Divine Lord Buquilus didn’t believe his Lord, Noble Leomaris, would care about Noble Vaan’s matters, that was only his opinion. He didn’t have the right or the courage to withhold or delay the delivery of important information.

"Remember to visit this Sister’s cultivation chamber when you are free, Brother Tertis. This Sister would love to discuss the divine path with you and share our insights." Divine Lord Shar also took his leave.

Divine Lord Tertis’s original calm expression immediately crumpled.

Even if Divine Lord Shar offered his generous gifts, he would never visit his cultivation chamber alone.

God knew what that ’thing’ would do to him?

Meanwhile, the scattered groups of Divine Lords and Divine Knights in the area also disappeared one by one, returning to their respective factions to deliver their reports. However, the majority remained.

After all, they did not need to make a direct report. It was not difficult to contact their superiors with today’s technology. In fact, it was very easy to relay and access information. Everyone carried devices that could connect them to the Myriad Sea God Network.

"I’m going to send a message to Lord Sui," a Divine Knight informed his group.

"Wait, Brother. Are you sure about that?" another Divine Knight questioned before mentioning, "Lord Sui is an esteemed disciple of the Inner Palace. Won’t you incur his wrath if he becomes displeased by an ordinary Outer Palace disciple bothering him?"

"Lord Sui isn’t such an unreasonable person. Besides, I am more afraid of Lord Sui receiving delayed information than not following normal formalities. I don’t want other factions to use it as an excuse to discredit our faction by saying we are slow at gathering intel. Who can bear Lord Sui’s wrath if he felt like he lost face then?"

The group immediately understood the Divine Knight’s concern. Such a possibility was actually not low. After all, such lowly tactics were actually quite common.

...

Although Vaan was deep inside the Grand Chamber of Dilemma, scribbling solutions on the Wall of Dilemma, the situation outside wasn’t exactly unknown to him. He was able to overhear many things with his Omni-Sense.

After all, few beings bothered to isolate their sensitive conversations.

’The Myriad Sea God Palace has so many bored beings,’ Vaan shook his head while feeling amused at the same time.

If everyone stopped caring about other people’s business and focused such energy and time on themselves, they might actually make some incredible progress in their cultivation.
