The week progress slowly progress ,the events happening one after each other the end of the festival arrive the great reunion arrive everyone start to gather inside of the Jlarg clan the festive atmosphere start to fade away letting is place to a oppressing feeling .

Inside the meeting room all the leader of the member of the coalition is here from the smallest sect leader to the patriarch of the leading clans .

Qian stand up from his chair he look at everyone this time is different he don’t have his usual smile his face his deadly serious after looking at all people attending he start to talk:

“I’m happy to see you all , but sadly this time I have some concerning news to share.”

Everyone seem nervous for the ever optimistic Jlarg patriarch to use word the concerning that probably mean that the situation is worrying.

Qian take out a small ocean blue bead before continuing to talk :

“This matter is important enough to call out elder council , I ask everyone to agree before I proceed .”

They all really seem shock by what he was asking but after some time everyone seem to agree. After gaining the approbation of all people, he start to infuse his qi inside the small bead the whole room tremble slightly .

A blue portal open behind him a tall old man come from it wearing the Jlarg traditional robe but the most surprising was his hair they were shape like big tree with the fruits swap with gold coins making him a really imposing figure .

He look at everyone before stopping his gaze on the man in front of him before starting to talk :

“Son ,why the council has been call , I don’t think that because you to play poker with your dad.”

Qian walk in front him before starting to talk :

“Qian salute father , I been recently inform of a world threatening problem that why we need the council input on this matter .”

The elder frown before enter back in the portal after a few minutes a big portal appear and a flood of elders arrive inside the room and they have all sit around the table the elder make a sign to Qian to continue :

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

“Thanks to all the elder to have come , as I said before I have been inform of very concerning news , here the problem …”

After taking a deep breath he continue :

“The life of the great grandmaster his near the end .”

The audience is shocked of the news one of the elders suddenly stand up from is chair and will hitting the table he shout to Qian :

“Are you sure of it !?”

Qian nod before one the other elder ask :

“How have you got this information .”

Qian to be uncomfortable with the question and with a apologetic face answer:

“I’m sorry the answer contains sensitive information ,I will share it in a ulterior meeting with the council.”

Everyone seem suspicious of this answer once the calm as returned inside the room he continue :

“You all know what this means our world will loss is protection and we will all be defenceless against outside attack our planet is the smallest in our stellar system the situation seem really dire.”

The atmosphere inside as become oppressive everyone seem anxious the looming threat seeming to weight on everyone shoulder, one the minor clan leader break the silence :

“Does the capital know about it ?”

Qian nod , a few frown after learning this information at the same a servant arrive before stopping on the his side before saying:

“Patriarch he as arrive.”

Qian look at her before replying :

“Good , make him come .”

The others seem confused by what happening but after she come back the tension rise everyone quickly take a defensive stance even some as take out a weapon from their storage treasure, Qian quickly stand up from his chair before starting to talk :

“Everyone calm down I don’t think he here to add salt to our relation. I am right ?”

The man nod before starting to talk :

“As the king of the kingdom of Asaria, I am here to stop all hostility between the capital and the northern coalition and ask for coalition cooperation in regard of the current situation. The time of meaningless conflict need to stop.”

Everyone seem shock by what he was saying, the hostility between the capital and coalition lasted millennia hearing the king saying that he wanted to end a lot find it suspicious , one of the elder start to laugh before starting :

“Everyone calm down he has speak the truth , I like you boy your not like the prideful warmonger that was your father .”

Everyone seem to relax ,the thousand eyes sect even if they are one of the smallest organisations of the coalition ,their ability to know when some lie make them one the greatest asset of the coalition , after some time to let everyone calm down Qian start to talk :

“That why you are here, the coalition gladly accept the offer like you said this is not the time fore meaningless conflict , I know that some people want to avenge people loss in the conflict but this can wait , if we all dead revenge will be meaningless.”

Everyone seems to agree ,they al start to negotiate and starting to make a plan to protect this world , the reunion slowly progress and slowly finish . Qian take is time to inform the elder council about the deal with the great grandmaster with them all seem happy about the news .

The time slowly advance and the time have come for four young children to receive a gift to help the desperate struggle in the interplanetary war...
