Upon hearing the Black Shadow's words, Lord Muye's "Messenger" said solemnly, "Those treasure-hunting Cataclysmic treasures and Cataclysmic Potions have very strong side effects."

"If they're not used by experts, there's a high chance of losing control. Is it really worth it to treat painstakingly cultivated Cataclysmics as disposable tools?"

Hearing the "Messenger," the Black Shadow replied, "According to that Lord's words, it's worth it."

"Although Lord Muye hasn't openly revealed what kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he discovered."

"But something important enough for him to bring up at the council meeting is definitely not ordinary."

"On top of that, during this time, he has been stirring chaos in Dongye State and sowing discord among its high-ranking officials. This shows his ambitions are significant."

"So, that Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure is certainly extraordinary."

"After all, due to the long journey and the current lockdown across Dongye State, Lord Muye's believers haven't been able to reach all the cities yet."

Hearing this, the Black Shadow nodded slightly before saying, "Then let's proceed with both plans."

"Send people to continue searching other cities for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but also send some to test that city to see if this is just a misunderstanding."

The Messenger nodded slightly in agreement.
