Chapter 741 – The Frozen Cloud Sect’s Response

While the powers around the Millennium Forest learned about the occurrences there and the Heavenly Tribulation, the Frozen Cloud sect did the same. They were informed of it as well and were surprised by it too.

In the main hall of the Frozen Cloud sect, Patriarch Bing was currently being briefed about it.

"Patriarch, it is confirmed. The Heavenly tribulation indeed happened." An elder spoke.

"Mm… I did know that it was a heavenly tribulation, but still getting visual confirmation is good too." Patriarch Bing replied.

"Indeed patriarch. Though we don't know what kind of a beast would have such a massive Heavenly Tribulation." The elder wondered.

"It was not a single beast… I could tell that the Heavenly Tribulation was not just one, but at least ten." Patriarch Bing stated, surprising everyone.

"WHAT!?" 

"How's that possible?"

"Ten Heavenly Tribulations at once is ridiculous!

"Yeah, how can the beasts even survive that? One tribulation will affect the other and increase the might too much. They would simply be blasted to death."

The elders were all shook by it and didn't know how it was possible.

"I said, at least ten. There are likely to be more of them… and seeing as the number of bolts was still high, it is very likely that the beasts or whoever underwent the Heavenly Tribulation are still alive." Patriarch Bing stated.

"This… more than ten beasts reaching the Nascent soul realm at the same time… just what has happened in the Millennium forest?" the elders couldn't help but wonder. 

Even if the Millennium forest had been somewhat of an important in the past, even the breakthrough of the Twin Lights Liger King wasn't as shocking as more than ten Heavenly Tribulations at once.

With the size of the Millennium forest, usually a normal heavenly tribulation might not even be visible from the third or second ring. But this time, it had exceeded the limits of any average tribulation. 

The entire Millennium forest was covered with the Tribulation clouds, making it very oppressive for the people living nearby. 

After a little more discussion, a man appeared in the hall.

"Patriarch Bing, I have something I need to tell you." Wang Xiong spoke.

"Chief Disciple Wang Xiong? What is it?" the elders sitting around asked.

"Tell me." Patriarch Bing replied.

"I guess I can tell this to everyone since it is good news for our sect." Wang Xiong stated.

"Oh? That's great." One of the elders said.

"Indeed. About time we get some good news after the past year or troubles." Another elder agreed.

"Be silent and let the junior speak." This time it was Supreme Elder Weizhe that spoke up.

He had been promoted last year due to the lack of qualified people in the sect. It wasn't just him getting promoted either and other lower level elders had been promoted as well so that the upper positions could be filled.

But this was still not enough and the Frozen Cloud sect still needed a lot more elders to be considered normal for now.

Wang Xiong looked at all the elders that were looking at him with anticipation along with Patriarch Bing.

~huu~

Taking a deep breath, he finally spoke.

"Remember the disciples of our sect that were seemingly lost in the Millennium forest?" Wang Xiong asked.

"Yes, how can we forget?" The elders replied.

"Yeah, didn't those two Tian Clan juniors even come to ask us about one of their members who joined the sect?" another elder spoke.

"I think her name was Tian Xiaoge. She had quite an identity being the daughter of the Tian Clan patriarch." A female elder recalled.

Seeing their responses Wang Xiong nodded his head and continued.

"Well… the fifteen disciples who were lost…  are returning!" Wang Xiong revealed.

"WHAT!!!!?" This was an even greater shock to the elders.

They had not expected that the string of surprises stemming from the Millennium forest had not ended yet.

A couple of the elders though had intrigued expressions on their face, one of them being none other than Supreme elder Weizhe.

"It wouldn't have anything to do with the unnatural string of events of the Millennium forest, would it junior?" Supreme elder Weizhe inquired.

"It might be, you all will get to see it soon. The fifteen disciples should be here any minute now." Wang Xiong replied.

"If what you are saying is true, then this is indeed some good news. We have lost our numbers and more of our disciples surviving will be a good thing for us." Patriarch Bing stated.

Wang Xiong looked at the faces of all and could tell that they were generally accepting. While the supreme elder expressed a slightly suspicious front, that was his job anyway.

One of the main jobs of a Supreme elder was not only helping and advising the patriarch, but also to contradict them at times, presenting an alternate opinion. Everyone that held a great position of power knew the importance of those that contradiction and critiqued them.

They also knew how dangerous a bunch of Yes-men were as well. They would be a downward slope that could cause great damage to oneself. One wouldn't even know and they would make bad decisions that only sabotaged themselves.

It was better to have a few that were in the opposition against them.

This was also why the position of a supreme elder was so high up in the ranking of a sect and why it was usually given to the other contender of the patriarch position. This way a somewhat natural rivalry would be present and opposition would always be there.

It was similar to how it was important for a political party that ruled the government to have a strong opposition. If they didn't have this, they would often become complacent and won't do their jobs properly.

They would always have the opposition keeping them in check and if they slipped up, the opposition would be able to denigrate them.. Thus they would always be on their toes, keeping up with the public and doing their jobs as well as possible.
