Chapter 381: The Meeting: Part 1
Tenko Kasumi sat on the sofa, looking calm .
Sitting opposite and staring at her were a gray-haired elderly and two other old men with different temperaments . Their average age was over 90 .
“We are glad to have a friendly discussion with the senior Palatinate of the Sanctum . I’m the dean of the Royal Yemei College . You can call me Nikos . ” The gray-haired old man sitting in the front let out a gentle smile .
“I’m sure you are Tenko Kasumi, the person in charge of the Miga Division of the Sanctum . ” He surely had heard about her before from other sources .
Sitting beside Tenko Kasumi was Seagal aka Lin Sheng, who just observed the three old men without saying a word . What surprised him was the natural force field of the Palatinate, the one doing the talking . This Palatinate was weaker than the one Tenko Kasumi defeated that day . It felt weird that his force field lacked the aggressiveness .
“Let’s cut the cackle . What do you want?” Tenko Kasumi asked, looking calm .
Nikos, the dean of the Royal Yemei Academy, let out an avuncular smile . “We come with the goodwill of the Miga government and the mystetious realm of Carte Blanche . We would like to invite the Sanctum to join forces with us against the Sevenlocks Tower .
“The Sevenlocks Tower is a terrorist group . They carry out terrorism and raid the major seal sites, causing a large number of civilian casualties . They are a threat to world peace!” Nikos said, voice matter of fact . “So, when we learned that the Sanctum was rapidly rising, we came over in the first instance . Especially when we knew the holy power of the Sanctum could subdue the Black Tide . The three mysterious realms were pleasantly surprised . ”
Nikos paused with a wondered expression on his face . He then carried on . “Not just surprised, but more like excited . Because, we finally see hope in defeating the Black Tide!” He was pitting the Sanctum against the Black Tide .

“So? What is your purpose of coming?” Tenko kasumi asked .
Nikos let out a smile, fingers tapping on the armrest . “It’s simple . We are representing Miga and the mysterious realms to come here for the Sanctum’s holy power . We hope that the Sanctum could share the technique of Holy Power cultivation for the sake of all mankind . ” He glanced at Lin Sheng, whose face turned grave after hearing what he said, and then Tenko Kasumi .
“The time has come . You could not long keep the secret technique of Holy Power to yourself . Everyone needs it to fight the Sevenlocks Tower, the Black Tide . But we would compensate the Sanctum—even you two . ”
What remains of the strength and background that Nikos and co represented was clear . Their purpose was to get their hands on the cultivation technique of Holy Power right from the beginning . They saw the mutual stimulation of the Holy power and dark energy that enhanced strength as a threat . If this went on, the Sanctum would eventually become a force too strong for them .
The point was, neither the three mysterious realms nor any other forces would allow this to happen . It would mean the end of the status quo and the redrawing of the balance of power and interests . This emerging Sanctum was posing a threat to too many people .
“And, as far as I know, the core technique of Holy Power cultivation is in the hands of the Sanctum master . Only the Sanctum master could pass on the Ashen Seal . If the priests, who has received Holy Power cultivation inititally, go without the Ashen Seal, it will affect the speed of their cultivation . Also, the Sanctum master will punish the betrayers . ” Nikos spoke when the atmosphere turned grave .
With a smile, he said, “So, what we need is the original Ashen Seal of the Holy Power the Sanctum master possesses . If you surrender the original Ashen Seal, the Sanctum master will become a hero who will be cherished by all humanity!”
That said, Nikos looked at Lin Sheng and Token Kasumi, his face calm . The writing was on the wall . The Sanctum must not allowed to keep its Holy Power cultivation technique because it was threatening the interest of all cultivators of dark energy . The Sanctum had disrupted the balance of power between the existing forces . Plus, it was not as powerful as it seemed, he thought . He was calm and confident . The Sanctum had no choice; its fate was set right from the beginning .

Lin Sheng sat on the chair, his eyes grave . He thought these people were coming only for the Holy Power, little did he expect they also wanted the Ashen Seal .
The Sanctum had only two Palatinates against the three mysteries realms . They would be at a disadvantage if fighting broke out . Baine University might have become a part of the division of the Sanctum, but it was not good enough . The opponent out was outgunning them with their Palatinates .
“I must figure out a way . ” Lin Sheng’s mind was racing .
“It’s right here . ”
Just when Lin Sheng and Token Kasumi met with Nikos and co . , some unsolicited guests had come outside the security door of the underground research center .
Three figures, wearing black tight-fit suit and mask that covered most of their faces, stood not far from the mansion where the research center located . They looked on as the Sanctum patrols doing their round outside the mansion .

There were three patrol units taking turn to guard the place around the clock . The security was so watertight that not a fly would get in . But it was exactly here that the three persons got past the perimeter without getting detected . As if invisible and formless, they touched no things and went through every obstacles and doors unhindered into the mansion .
“Lingying, it’s in the basement . ” One reminded in a whisper .
“Got it . ” The leading figure had a pair of charming pink eyes that look like they were wearing colored contact lenses .
The three figures checked around . They soon found the not-so-secret entrance to the basement .
“Let’s go, take everything as quick as possible,” the leading figure said .
“Aye . ”
The other two followed closely behind as they went through the thick metal security door into the basement . But the leading figure was startled as soon as he went in .
“Something is not right!” He glanced down and around; his gut feeling told him that . “The air, the ground, even the walls seem to reject us!”
They stood at the door and stared inside . The laboratory was only meters away . They were stuck .
“What should we do now?” The one on the right asked . “We might as well kill our way in—fuck dangers! There are the three of us . What more we need to worry about? This is just the laboratory of some freaking sect . ”
“Let’s try . ” Lingying nodded, a light flashing in his pink eyes . As he stretched out his right hand, a vague symbol flashed on the back of his hand .
“Violent Crescend, Temblor . ” He whispered .
A circle of red ripples spread out from his arm and rushed into the laboratory .
