The situation had taken a disastrous turn for the Third Inner Council Elder.
He had initially believed that his position within the Vault Division would be sufficient to protect him from any immediate consequences. Even when Daoist Bone Ruler had personally summoned him, he had remained confident that the Division's administrative regulations would prevent the Law Division from interfering with his affairs.
However, the appearance of Mengli Zhenyu had completely overturned his expectations.
His seclusion chamber had been breached, its expensive defensive formations destroyed, and he had even been punched in the face before he could properly understand what was happening.
And now, the Valgatha Flower Shield had became another source of trouble.
The Third Inner Council Elder's expression was strained as he looked between Zhenyu and Daoist Bone Ruler. The golden shield continued floating before him, its intricate flower-shaped engravings glowing with Immortal Qi.
