The Celestial Alliance.
Raina North had just imprisoned the envoys of the seven clans, and the others came demanding their release.
Raina personally led her people and captured the arrivals alive; the only one who escaped was purposely let go by her.
She instructed him to deliver a message to the seven clans, saying the dungeon of the Celestial Alliance is vast, and it can accommodate however many are sent.
The escapee fled in panic, and the members of the Celestial Alliance were invigorated, shouting Raina’s name in unison.
"Long live the Hierarch!"
"Long live the Hierarch!"
Their eyes towards Raina were filled with fervor.
The First Elder’s expression was extremely displeased; he never expected that all his carefully laid plans would pave the way for Raina.
At this rate, his years of plotting would come to nothing.
He was unwilling to accept this!
For the sake of this position, he even sacrificed his only son; how could he accept defeat!
He glared at Raina with hatred, his cloudy old eyes full of venom. Find the newest release on novel⦿fire.net
Raina sensed it, turned, and glanced over.
The First Elder was startled and immediately flashed a smile, but the change was so abrupt that the smile seemed menacing.
Raina couldn’t help but chuckle, increasingly finding the First Elder ridiculous.
This world belongs to the strong, especially within the Umbral Zone.
Any conspiracy or scheming in secret amounts to nothing more than a joke before true power, just like now.
The First Elder’s carefully laid plans over the years were ultimately no match for her fists.
After this, other clan forces did not send anyone again.
However, Raina received a message.
In two days, the other six clan forces will gather in The Dark Tower to discuss strategies to deal with the Celestial Alliance.
Knowing this, the First Elder publicly asked Raina, "Hierarch, how should we respond this time? We can’t just let them come up with a plan to unite against our Celestial Alliance, right? Although all our brothers in the Celestial Alliance are heroes, their passion is also fervent; we can’t let them sacrifice in vain!"
The First Elder’s words gained agreement from many members of the Celestial Alliance, while they unafraid of death, it doesn’t mean they want to die; if they can live well, no one wants to die.
Thus, everyone eagerly looked at Raina.
"The First Elder makes a good point, but I wonder if the First Elder has any strategy?"
The First Elder was straightforward: "I will follow whatever the Hierarch commands."
Raina was not surprised by the First Elder’s words: "In that case, please go back and prepare, two days later accompany me to the meeting hosted by The Dark Tower."
"What?" The First Elder was shocked: "The Hierarch is going to personally attend the meeting?"
"Indeed. Of course, if the First Elder is afraid, you can wait at the alliance; after all, you are getting older, which I completely understand."
The First Elder where would he admit to being old? Someone of age couldn’t inherit the position of Hierarch, leading tens of thousands.
He immediately said, "Hierarch, what are you talking about? As a member of our alliance, needing the Celestial Alliance and the Hierarch demands naturally, falls upon my shoulders."
"Seeing the First Elder so full of vigor, I am relieved. To be honest, when I returned this time and saw how elderly you appeared, I was very worried, afraid you might inadvertently have some mishap, which would be a great loss to our Celestial Alliance."
The First Elder was very grateful for Raina’s concern, but he hated Raina deep down; her words had essentially cut off his excuse of being accidentally injured or claiming sickness as an excuse.
