The Rise of the Black Plain

When they arrived at one of the villages in the headquarters of the Gray Clouds Sect, Minos' group did not have time to make their way toward one of the many high-standard houses in such a place when guards appeared.

They had entered this headquarters irregularly, so it was to be expected that other groups would bother them about this matter!

Then, before their group could enter Ruth's parents' house, a place at the end of the street they had just entered, 20 high-level Spiritual Emperors surrounded them.

"Stop right there!" One of them shouted while he had his sword in his hands, looking at Minos with narrowed eyes.

The guards from earlier had warned this group, so they knew who Minos was and what these people's violations had been. That way, they were there to arrest these people!

"Surrender now, or accept the consequences of invading our sect!"

The guards on the outskirts kept looking at the four individuals as their leader spoke, feeling like having a little fun teaching these daring youths a lesson.

Minos could be the King of the Black Plain, who supposedly had a connection to this sect. And Gloria could be a member of the Spiritual Church, a power such an organization had to respect. But none of this mattered since they had invaded this headquarters!

These men obviously would not take this matter so far as to threaten the lives of these four youths, but they had every right to teach them a lesson and arrest them!

Thus, no one there feared Minos' or Gloria's past. As for Ruth, the men from before were so impressed by King Stuart's act that they forgot to warn these people about her identity...

"What consequences are we talking about here?" Minos smiled and asked, causing trouble in his family's sect in amusement.

The leader of those men, level 69, pressed his teeth against each other, sensing that Minos had no respect for him. "We're going to beat the crap out of you until you learn to respect our organization... So, will you surrender now or keep pissing us off?"

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Saints in that village, some of them residents, others just guards of the strongest residents there, were already looking toward these people.

"Someone has broken into the sect?"

"How is that possible? How did these children get here so quickly by invading us? Do they happen to have the map of our sect?"

"Probably..."

"Hey, don't you think that black-haired girl looks like someone?"

"Hmmm? To tell you the truth, the brown-haired young man is no stranger to me either..."

While several experts watched the situation from afar, Minos continued in front of his wives with a smile on his face, wanting to see where this was going.

People from this sect invited him a few times to come to this place. But when he finally arrived here, he and his wives were treated as strangers who should keep their distance. Even Ruth, who was born in this sect, had been ignored.

Since he already did not have a good impression of the Coleman family, he promptly felt like causing a ruckus there for this little problem.

"Get out of my way." He said, showing those guards that not only was he not afraid, but he was also threatening them!

Those men felt extremely provoked by this, but they just stood still without the opposing side making a move.

'Why is he so confident?' The leader of those men thought worriedly.

That was not a simple place. If his group lost to Minos, another one with Spiritual Saints would be coming, which would continue to happen until the sect master, level 79, decided to act.

Thinking about where this might end up, this man could not help but question Minos' confidence, thinking that the King of the Black Plain was not just an idiot causing chaos.

No one could be that dumb!

So he decided to ask. "Why are you doing this? What is your purpose in invading our headquarters?"

Ruth stepped forward, feeling that her husband would not help these men understand the situation correctly. "We are here to visit my family. I am Minos' second wife, Ruth Miles."

"Miles?"

"Ah, so she's Elise and Vince's youngest daughter..."

"If she's little Ruth, that must be Minos Stuart, Maisie's son..."

"So that's him?"

The experts in the surrounding area identified Minos' group, interested in this young King they had heard about for years.

The level 69 Spiritual Emperor did not know who Minos was, but he recognized Ruth. He knew this level 62 woman because a few years ago, a young woman had left the Miles family to go and live in the northern region.

That story had become quite famous among the security staff of the sect since they were the ones who handled the incoming and outgoing disciples of this organization. As such a thing had not happened for millennia, it would be difficult for anyone involved to forget this fact.

Thus, he readily realized that Ruth was not a renegade trying to return to the sect, as the previous guard had considered. Instead, she was just there to visit her family, which was justifiable.

"So you're the young Miss Miles. We didn't know." He said, lowering the spirits of the people in his group.

Hearing that man's softer tone, Ruth sighed and said. "Anyway, I want to introduce my family to my parents... Can you leave us alone now? I'm already embarrassed that I have to put my husband and sisters through this situation in my home."

Some Spiritual Saints in the surrounding area felt uncomfortable about this, especially considering who Minos and Oswald were.

None of them thought Minos being bold in the northern region was strange, even after so much strange news. That was because Oswald himself had made a name for himself in the past, causing a lot of trouble during his youth.

So they could already imagine that this situation would not end well if more trouble arose.

However, before one of them approached those people, the level 69 Spiritual Emperor said. "I understand, Miss Miles. But your husband attacked our guards at the sect gate... So we can't just make way for you as if nothing happened."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Minos asked. "We're not going to surrender. Do your job, or get out of our way!"

Infinite Dream!

But he did not give these people time to attack them. Instead, after he finished speaking, Minos immediately activated his mental technique, intending to take down the strongest of the opposing group to deal with the rest later.

The rest of the guards were only level 67 and 68 Spiritual Emperors, so it would not be difficult for him to defeat them after immobilizing the level 69 man.

Like that, invisible energy shot out from Minos' colored pupils, heading towards that man looking at him thoughtfully.
