The Rise of the Black Plain

"I've made up my mind. Go to Dry City... Or rather, send one of your men there to meet this Minos Stuart. I want this person to make it clear to him that we know about the Spatial Kingdom.

After that, he should withdraw and return to your group. Another team will deal with this Minos afterward.

I want to prevent his group from getting involved in a fight with him so that this Maximillian Flamen doesn't come after us." Patriarch Longus said.

Previously he would act only when this other group arrived in the Black Plain Empire. But it would take a few months for this group to cross the East Sea and reach this state.

Since the news about Minos' abilities was alarming, he wanted to stop this individual from further strengthening by putting a big problem on him.

He simply wanted to threaten Minos and then gather his men, making Emperor Stuart too worried about them talking about his Spatial Kingdom.

If Minos did the sensible thing, he would immediately go to the kingdom of Lusmait to investigate the traces of the Longus family in that place. From there, he would have a long journey to the Divine Continent.

In the meantime, they would prepare to take action against him.

In the view of the Longus patriarch and his men on the Divine Continent, this was a great plan!

Hearing that, the level 90 Demigod near Dry City asked. "What if Minos Stuart turns on us and tries to start a fight?"

"From what you said, he cannot stop your group from escaping. So don't bother with him. Get back to headquarters as soon as possible.

After that, his worries will strip him of his peace and prevent him from continuing to pursue his spiritual development.

Once this happens, he will either turn to us, or he won't be able to cultivate until my group arrives at this place.

One way or another, we will finish him off in a few more months!" The patriarch said this in a humorous tone, confident in his plans.

If Minos left the continent, Maximillian could not protect him. Then the patriarch himself would act against this irritating heir of Henricus Longus!

"OK, I will do what the patriarch ordered!" That man said before ending his call.

As he did so, he felt a chill run down his spine, not because of fear of Minos but because of this young man's contacts.

On the other hand, he was very eager to enter the Spatial Kingdom of his ancestor, so part of that feeling was from the anticipation of what might happen soon, not just the fear he had of the trouble that might soon overtake them.

"Len! Come here. You will visit Minos Stuart!" This Demigod said this to the level 89 man standing around, surprising the rest of his group, who were not listening to his conversation with the patriarch.

"What?" That man didn't understand.

But the level 90 Demigod would quickly answer the questions of that man and the other men before ordering the group to prepare to leave.

"Len, we will not wait for you. We will leave immediately for the east. From there, we will sail back to the Divine Continent." That man at the head of the group said after a few minutes. "You must flee this place as soon as you deliver our message to Minos Stuart."

"I will do my best, senior!"

With that said, they soon split up, with most of them leaving Dry City without drawing attention, while that man came out of the pocket of space where they were hiding moments ago.

Appearing in the sky about 20 kilometers from the core of Dry City, that man took a deep breath and then began to descend as he approached that place.

...

Meanwhile, Minos was walking through Dry City alongside Kendrick, who would soon undergo his awakening and the beginning of his cultivation journey.

Along with this young man who looked more and more like his father, Abby was also there, wondering once again if her son would be like her or Minos concerning his innate ability.

This woman's biggest concern in recent months had been about this, so she thought about it whenever she walked with him and Minos.

However, while Abby was looking at Kendrick and this young man was following behind his father, Minos suddenly stopped and looked back, sensing that someone powerful was approaching.

Noticing the person flying toward the core of Dry City, he immediately said to Abby, "Go back to the palace with Kendrick. There seems to be a problem outside the defensive dome."

"What? What is it?" She asked, unable to see what it was.

"There's a Spiritual Sage coming here. I don't know what it is, but I have a bad impression about it." He said, confident that such a person was not a Demigod. Otherwise, that person would have already invaded the security area of this city.

After the years of peace this city had experienced, Minos replaced the previously destroyed low-level grade-4 defensive arrays. Therefore, that level 89 Spiritual Sage was not a threat to those within the Dry City Defensive Dome.

Still, Minos had to deal with that kind of expert coming to his city, so even in a safe place, he set off toward that danger.

Meanwhile, Abby picked up Kendrick and headed for the imperial palace, feeling worried as this youngster wished to become strong to help his father.

"What's wrong, Mom?" He asked.

"I don't know..." Abby sighed, feeling something wrong would happen after so many months of peace for her and her family.

Meanwhile, the local experts on standby had already noticed the visitor approaching and had gathered around Minos.

"Your Majesty, what will this be about?" The level 85 Spiritual Sage, the strongest at cultivation in the army, asked as he looked in that person's direction.

That individual had already stopped approaching the core of Dry City and was standing a few tens of meters away from the defensive barrier of that dome.

Minos said as he looked at that tall, blond individual dressed in black armor outside his city core. "I don't know. But get ready to fight. I don't have a good impression of this person."

With those words, Minos did not hesitate and soon used two men to temporarily increase his cultivation base to level 81.
