The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Clearly, although he said that on the surface, what he really meant was the opposite.

After all, hidden within that black mist was a living ancestor who could be easily crushed even by the true form of the Lord of Devouring Dimensions.

Do these self-important parliamentary envoys really think they are invincible?

Once you feel that ancient pressure that can freeze even your soul, you'll know how merciful my advice was.

Time slipped by slowly amidst the casual, intermittent chatter.

The two envoys were in high spirits, enjoying Terence's flattery.

However, this leisurely atmosphere did not last long, as the door to the VIP reception room was suddenly pushed open.

"Who?!"

Terence frowned sharply, about to lash out, when he saw Lance, whom he had sent to contact the head of the Ozheimer family, push open the door and enter.

However, Lance's expression was quite unpleasant at that moment.

Sure enough, Lance hurriedly spoke up the next moment: "Patriarch...Patriarch, something terrible has happened!"

He glanced at the two envoys sitting on the sofa, hesitated, and subconsciously wanted to lean close to Terence's ear to report.

"stop!"

However, before Lance could even get close, the two spoke simultaneously, their eyes fixed on him with cold glints: "What's so shameful that you have to whisper in each other's ears? Since it's about the Dark Star System, what can't be said in front of our council's special envoy? Speak up, tell us so we can hear just how serious this is!"

"Terrence, it seems your men haven't learned their manners well enough. Being secretive in front of the council isn't a good habit."

However, he ignored their reprimands.

Because a very ominous premonition arose in my heart.

After all, he knew Lance too well. This trusted confidant who had followed him for many years and had been through countless life-and-death battles would never show such an expression, even with a knife to his throat.

"Speak."

Thinking of this, Tyron asked again, "What exactly happened? What did Ozheimer say? Is the teleportation array ready?"

Lance shook his head and said seriously, "Patriarch! The teleportation array is unusable!"

"The head of the Ozheimer family just sent an urgent message: they have indefinitely sealed off all stargates and teleportation channels leading to the Feathered Spirit Nexus!"

"Um?"

Hearing this, Terence raised an eyebrow, his tone displeased: "What's that old man up to? Didn't you tell them the special envoy was going to inspect?"

Lance nodded naturally: "I did, but the problem is that the special envoy sent by the council to the Ozheimer family has run into trouble."

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment flashed across the faces of everyone present.

Especially the two special envoys.

After all, the Star Council did not only send inspectors to Lucia, the ruling family, this time.

Now, upon hearing that the special envoy who had come with them had encountered an accident, the two of them immediately became restless.

However, before they could ask for the specifics...

Lance spoke again: "The Ozheimer family's reply was that the two special envoys did not heed their advice and firmly believed that the secrets of the Divine Court were hidden in the Dark Obsidian System! Therefore, they directly requisitioned the main starships in the defense zone and forcibly rushed towards the black mist that enveloped the Dark Obsidian System."

"They've completely disappeared by now!"

After he finished speaking, the entire reception room fell silent once again.

Terence's eyes twitched slightly at the thought of that scene, and he cursed inwardly.

They're a bunch of stupid fools who don't know what's good for them!

Just because they're wearing the coattails of the Star Council, do they really think they can go anywhere in this vast universe?

Do you really think that your meager strength can ignore all unknown fears?

Of course, although he cursed the parliamentary envoys in his heart, he dared not show it on his face.

He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, the wrath of the Star Council would absolutely burn the entire Ashmerkham to ashes.

boom!

However, at that moment, a muffled thud suddenly erupted.

Suddenly, the gaunt envoy slammed his fist on the table.

His aura erupted instantly, revealing the power of a high-level professional.

This sudden turn of events caused the surrounding servants to groan involuntarily, unable to withstand the pressure. Even Lance, who was standing behind Terence, turned pale.

"Missing? Terence, your men really know how to choose words! How could a special envoy from the Star Council, equipped with the most advanced protective gear, simply disappear without a trace?"

At this point, he suddenly took a step forward, closing in on Terence, his tone filled with undisguised murderous intent: "I think this is all a trap set by your Ashmerkrin!"

"Are you hiding some shady secret in the Dark Star System, afraid of being discovered by the Council, so you decided to go all the way and assassinate the people we sent?!"

"Patriarch Terence, attacking the council's special envoy is tantamount to declaring war on the entire Star Council. Is your Lucia family, or rather your entire Starfall Divine Realm, truly prepared to bear such a price?"

Faced with such a barrage of questions and accusations from the two special envoys...

Terence was also at a loss. The council envoy had perished in the Starfall Divine Realm, and the blame for this was simply too great.

"My lords! This is rather unfair!"

Faced with the two envoys' aggressive questioning, Terence, unusually firm, declared: "Assassinating envoys would bring us no benefit whatsoever!"

"After all, our Ashmerkrin families have relied on the Council for generations to survive!"

"They've done something so incredibly stupid, it's digging their own grave!"

"Furthermore, I just reminded you two that the space in that area has completely collapsed and is filled with unknown annihilating power."

"The Ozheimer family must have been unable to dissuade them, and the envoys were too eager to make a name for themselves, which led to... this unexpected incident!"

"Accident?"

The gaunt envoy laughed in fury, looking at Terence with even greater contempt: "Terrence, do you think you can fool us like three-year-olds? Even if there is spatial turbulence in that place, the life support system and emergency jump device on the flagship are enough to allow them to send out a distress signal at the last moment."

"And you're telling me they've disappeared without a trace?"

Clearly, at this moment, the scales that had just tipped in their minds tilted back.

As a result, they increasingly believed...

The Dark Star System may contain extremely powerful treasures, or some kind of strategic resource that could change the landscape of the divine realm.

Ashmertine and his gang of local bullies wanted to monopolize this benefit.

They were so utterly depraved that they attacked the parliamentary envoy!
