Chapter 1478: Arrival of Spirit Void

Arrival of Spirit Void

Almost at the exact same time the Elderly Lady took her seat,

White Pigeon Road welcomed yet another figure.

It was a youth who seemed to come from an exotic land, bare-chested, his bronze-colored body well-proportioned like a perfect art sculpture. Slightly curly white hair danced in the wind, covering his eyes and half of his face. A belt and ornaments cast from gold almost covered his entire body. Every step he took would emit a clinking sound.

Hanging at his waist was a Curved Blade inlaid with gold at the base, emitting a heart-palpitating cold glint. His hands were crossed and hugged in front of his chest, and a faint smile hung on the corners of his mouth.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, he walked to the center of the square like this. Seeing Nine of Hearts and the Elderly Lady sitting on the ground, he waved his hand unsurprisingly:

"Yo, long time no see, you two."

"Jack of Hearts, I knew you would definitely come!" Nine of Hearts laughed heartily. "This makes it interesting! What's the point of hiding?"

The exotic youth shook his head. "I didn't specially come to attend this broken conference... I just wanted to come and see exactly what kind of divine being this new King is, and whether he is truly worthy of this Red King seat..."

"If he's not worthy... hehe."

"Cough, cough... sigh, I'm getting old, I can't squeeze anymore, I can only come here to rest." The Elderly Lady smiled kindly.

"..." Jack of Hearts directly ignored the Elderly Lady's words and sat down casually on the ground,

"What do you say? Has that new King not arrived yet?"

"Not yet."

"Hmph, hiding his head and showing his tail, could it be that he's a coward with no guts?" The exotic youth snorted coldly.

"Sigh, young people these days, just impatient..." The Elderly Lady tapped her knee while speaking faintly, "The leader of the opposite side hasn't even shown his face, how could our leader just casually come out..."

The exotic youth's gaze looked towards the other side of the Chessboard.

Besides Scarlet, more and more Knights were converging here.

...

At the same time,

On a street on the other side.

A tall figure wearing a beige sweater inside and a dark blue uniform draped outside was passing through the shadows of the alleyway. A silver glasses chain swayed gently with his steps, and a faint melancholic Aura exuded from his body.

"Grand Master, Lord of Spirit Void is about to enter the venue, we should head over." A member of the Deep Blue Knights said.

"I know." The youth spoke calmly, "You guys go first, I'll patrol the surroundings once more."

"Yes!"

As the surrounding Knights quickly distanced themselves,

This youth lightly pushed his silver glasses. As the glasses chain swayed silently, his gaze looked towards the shadows at the side.

He sighed softly with some helplessness:

"Come out, stop hiding."

As his voice fell,

After a brief pause, a figure wearing a White Baseball Cap walked out with a smile.

"Not bad, Jack of Spades." Bai Ye sized him up and down a few times, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "It's been so long since we met, and you've already mixed your way into becoming the Grand Master of the Deep Blue Knights?"

"I just won a few simple games." Jack of Spades replied calmly. "The rule in the Spirit Void Domain is just like this. The winner takes all, and the loser abdicates... It's just that coincidentally, I'm quite good at 'winning'."

"Not bad, not bad." Bai Ye clapped lightly. "Then, Mr. Grand Master... regarding this conference, is there any Inside Story?"

Jack of Spades was silent for a moment, and slowly spoke:

"I'm not too clear on the specific details either, but what is certain is... the Lord of Spirit Void's attitude towards the Dusk Society is absolutely not as simple as being peaceful and friendly."

"For this conference, all six Knight Orders received missions. We arranged an item beneath the square specifically used to lock down an area. It's almost impossible for anyone below Rank 8 to leave."

Hearing this, Bai Ye's expression instantly became gloomy:

"Did you not report this?"

"I did." Jack of Spades answered without hesitation. "On the first day the newspaper was published, I sent a message to the Red King through the contact point, reporting this matter... However, he didn't make any response."

Bai Ye raised his brows somewhat surprised, and then fell into deep thought.

"Knowing clearly that there's a problem, yet still issuing the order to [Go If You Want To]..."

"I really can't figure out exactly what this new Red King is thinking." Jack of Spades paused for a moment. "I hope, he won't play our entire Dusk Society to death."

Jack of Spades glanced at the time, stopped talking to Bai Ye, and turned to walk towards the distance:

"The Lord of Spirit Void is coming, you guys look out for yourselves."

As Jack of Spades went far away, Bai Ye's brows gradually furrowed tightly. He took a step forward, and his figure instantly disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, he had already arrived on top of a tower in the distance.

At this time, at the top of the tower, there was already a figure with long pale cyan hair, gazing towards the direction of the square.

"You've met Jack of Spades?" Queen of Diamonds asked.

"Yeah."

Bai Ye nodded slightly. His gaze looked towards the direction of the square, sharp as snake pupils:

"Regardless, let's be vigilant... If the situation develops out of control, we must think of a way to cover the Red King and the members to leave as much as possible."

Queen of Diamonds let out a long sigh,

"Truly... troublesome."

...

"Lord of Spirit Void! The Lord of Spirit Void is here!!"

It was unknown who shouted out loudly, but the attention of everyone in White Pigeon Square shifted to the other side.

Numerous Knight figures could be seen parting a path in the crowd. Several figures wearing classical Knight uniforms walked in the center. The colors of their uniforms were all different, but every single one of them exuded a powerful Aura. Apart from the newly promoted Grand Master of the Deep Blue Knights, Jack of Spades, and the Grand Master of the Scarlet Knight Order who had stationed himself early, the Auras of the other four Knight Grand Masters had all reached Rank 8!

And behind them, a figure wearing a plain outer garment resembling a monk's robe walked over slowly.

His pace was steady and ordinary, and his pitch-black curly hair brushed gently in the wind. Unlike the six imposing Grand Masters, he stood behind everyone, low-key like an utterly ordinary person... But the moment he appeared, it directly ignited the atmosphere of the entire square.

"It's the six Grand Masters [Amber], [Moon White], [Pale Gray], [Raven Black], [Deep Blue], and [Scarlet]!!"

"The six Grand Masters of the Knight Orders mobilizing simultaneously, how many years has it been since we've seen this kind of scene?"

"This is my first time seeing Lord of Spirit Void in person... He's so low-key."

"He doesn't look any different from us."

"What do you know, this is called being introverted! It's called hiding one's edge!"

"With the six Grand Masters clearing the way and Lord of Spirit Void personally holding the fort, who said this square wasn't safe? Even if the Dusk Society comes, they won't be able to stir up any waves!"

"Why does the Dusk Society side only have three people? The disparity is too great..."

"That whatever Red King, could it be that he doesn't even dare to come?"

"It's possible. After all, our Lord of Spirit Void single-handedly sealed a World-Ending Calamity. He's probably scared, doesn't dare to come himself, and only sent three subordinates over."

"Not coming himself, and sending subordinates to take the risk? That's too scummy!"

"..."

With the Lord of Spirit Void's appearance, the atmosphere of the square reached its peak. The gazes of the crowd roamed between the Spirit Void Domain side, with its massive numbers and influence, and the Dusk Society, with only a sparse three people. Various whispering sounds rose and fell in succession.

...

At the same time,

Inside the Unregarded noodle shop.

A figure gently put down the big pork rib noodles in his hand.

"...I'm full." He gently wiped his mouth with a tissue, his smiling gaze sweeping across the four figures before him. "Senior brothers and Senior Sister, are you full?"

"Little Junior Brother, we're full too."

"Although it's a bit worse than the noodles made by Third Brother, the taste is still passable..."

"Hmph, that's natural."

"Little Junior Brother, we'll listen to your arrangements."

That youth smiled faintly, his gaze looking outside the noodle shop, towards that road leading straight to White Pigeon Square...

"Let's go..."

"Now, it's our turn to take the stage."
