The Rise of the Black Plain

When Minos' soul ability was deactivated, all the dark fog that had appeared a few moments ago disappeared from the area as the affected people returned to their senses.

Those who had only suffered from fear of Minos were looking at Emperor Stuart, terrified by this young man's insane ability. As for those who had actually acted against Lance or even felt the urge to act, they were shocked to discover that even at their levels, they were still susceptible.

In just a matter of seconds, they had felt as if Minos was their supreme leader and it was their duty to carry them out. But, at the same time, they had forgotten that they were actually Lance's supporters and felt the urge to act against this young man.

Since everyone there was a Spiritual Saint, these people could not help but be frightened at being manipulated so easily while they were experts.

They had suffered a lot to reach their respective cultivation levels. They thought that past level 70, they would not be so susceptible. But they were sorely mistaken!

Minos had not only controlled them but also shown them that if he wanted, he could make them kill each other without even leaving his place!

And with that, everyone in this situation was too scared to pay attention to anything other than the situation itself.

However, those unaffected by Minos' technique, the mid-level and high-level elders there, as well as Maisie, had only felt the effects of Emperor Stuart's abilities on those other people.

But even without feeling the fear that those weaker colleagues felt, those people were quite in awe of how far Minos had already come.

That was particularly true for Maisie, who knew that she might have been affected in the same way as those people, but that did not happen because of Minos' own decision.

'He's already stronger than me...' She sighed as she realized this in her own skin, feeling a mixture of pride and discontent.

Maisie would instead continue to be stronger than Minos for a while longer than have him overcome her so quickly!

But as a mother, she could not help but feel relieved that he could already be considered an expert.

As for Oswald, he was smiling in satisfaction, feeling that Minos was even better than he expected. 'This boy is really very good.' He closed his eyes and nodded his head as if approvingly

Emperor Stuart.

Anyway, Minos heard the patriarch Terry's question and looked at the unconscious Lance, who had not endured a few seconds of 'friendly' beatings. He said. "Since he has broken the sect's rules, he shall pay for it with three days in jail."

"That is as benevolent as I can be."

Patriarch Terry did not think this was extreme and said nothing to refute Minos. But, opposite that, he called one of the guards nearby and ordered such a person to put Lance in prison for the time ordered by the new sect master.

"You heard the sect master. Lock Lance up in a cell for the next three days."

"Yes, patriarch." That individual, who not coincidentally was from the Terry family, obeyed that person's order, even though he found it all very strange.

But since three days was not much for any of them, he did not bother about it and just did what he was supposed to do.

Meanwhile, Minos observed the people in the surrounding area and smiled. "Does anyone else think that I can't be the sect master? Are there any others intent on rebelling?"

But after what had just happened, none of these people would ask questions of the sort, even if they did not like Minos.

Minos was the kind of leader who had no mercy, punished people for setting examples and did not like to be tested. These people did not need much to understand this, and so they just shook their heads negatively.

With this, it did not take long before the people there began to greet him, showing their respect for the new sect master.

Maisie did not miss the opportunity and hugged her son in congratulations, pleased that he had finally become sect master.

Minos accepted Maisie's affection, as she occasionally helped him and his family take care of Sarah, something that had greatly lessened the distance between them.

"Congratulations on becoming the sect master, Minos." Maisie said in one of his ears.

"Hmm, thank you."

But he did not stay by his mother's side for long either, having talked to each of the elders who had attended this occasion.

Among those people, he also saw Ivy over there, who quickly arranged with him for them to have dinner any of these days.

...

After a few hours, Minos had assumed the position of sect master and gone to rest beside his wives.

This emperor told them everything that had happened regarding his rapid rise to power in this sect before he had some time to be with his daughter.

But Minos and his family would not rest for long. With the situation on the Black Plain and the possibility of them using this sect against Abe, Emperor Stuart wanted to get to the battlefield as soon as possible.

At dawn, he already intended to leave for that area!

So there was not much fun among the adults of the Stuart family that night, with them just having slept in for the next day.

...

While Minos and his family slept, Lance's men found out about their leader's imprisonment.

Such a thing was unexpected, even more so considering that the patriarch Terry himself had confirmed Minos' order and sent Lance to spend three days alone.

With this, the many supporters of the young master of the Terry family put their plans on hold. They went looking for the patriarch to understand what was happening.

An enemy acting against them was something that everyone expected to happen, always. But one of their greatest allies suddenly acting against their plans was a severe communication problem that would need to be solved before anything else happened.

With that, soon, one of the individuals under Lance's command was already having spiritual tea with the patriarch Terry.

"Patriarch, what's going on?" Such a person asked while having a worried look on his face. "We were about to finish young Lance's plans to prevent the rise of Minos, but then we heard of your action..."

Hearing this, Jeffrey Terry sighed and said. "There was nothing I could do. The sect master had an agreement with Minos for him to become the successor to the position of the sect leader. And that young man from the northern region made promises he won't be able to keep."

"So I had to take a few steps back so that he would harm himself and reheat the dispute for the position of sect master."

"In any case, I couldn't prevent what happened today, so I tried to lessen the trouble for Lance and our family by acting that way."

Hearing all this, that man pondered the matter, understanding this person's motivations.

'That makes sense... But still, I feel awkward about that decision. I would rather act!' That individual thought to himself before discussing the matter in detail with the patriarch.
