The Rise of the Black Plain
chapter-1236-30041322

"Huh?" Minos' three wives and that specialist's daughter said simultaneously, not understanding how the current situation had come to this point.

Meanwhile, Minos was smelling the unique scent of Naomi's mother's body, who was warmly massaging him as she hugged him.

"Baby, how could Maisie do this to you? You look so much like her... Sigh!" She said to Minos as she felt his hands on her back, but without squeezing her hard.

Minos was too emotionally controlled to be overwhelmed by such unusual behavior. As such, besides taking advantage of this woman and enjoying those breasts, he was finding the situation just as strange as his women's.

"Who... Who are you?" Minos managed to say after struggling to get his lips away from this person's left breast.

"Oh?" The Spiritual Saint finally realized that she had not formally introduced herself and pulled Minos' body away so she could look him in the eye.

"My name is Sibley Banks. I am the Young Miss of the Holy Sect, a former rival of your mother, Maisie Coleman." She said with a smile on her face and then pointed at her daughter. "That's my only daughter, Naomi."

"And why did you want to see me? Why did Naomi want to fight me?" Minos asked in curiosity.

This woman seemed to have a rather strange temperament, so he could not help but feel odd in this situation and try to take a step back.

Against crazy people, it was better to be careful!

"I thought you and your mother had a normal relationship, so naturally, you and Naomi would become rivals. But since that vile woman didn't raise you the way she should have, let's forget about it." This expert said, being somewhat honest but also dishonest.

Sibley was surprised to discover that Maisie, who seemed so good at everything she did and so committed, had such a flaw in her status as a mother. And knowing this, she genuinely felt sorry for Minos since she could not imagine her daughter growing up away from her.

But Sibley was also acting for her daughter's sake, not to allow her to fight and perhaps lose to someone several levels below her.

In the cultivation world, a person's progress depends significantly on their birth talent. But some external factors could interfere with a given person's development, something that could distinguish between having a final bottleneck at the 6th stage or the 9th.

One of the many factors that could negatively affect the progress of a cultivator's spiritual cultivation was confidence in himself, in short, the stability of his heart and mind.

It was not easy to mess with the confidence of cultivators, but very talented people, when faced with extreme situations, were subtly vulnerable to such a problem.

In Naomi's case, she was one of the most talented of her generation, someone who was famous for having a potential that was supposedly greater than that of her mother. But Sibley herself was already very talented, even having the chance to become the master of the Holy Sect in the future.

So, if she fought and lost to Minos, someone several levels weaker than her, her high position and confidence could generate a substantial rebound!

Sibley knew this and wanted to avoid the worst after being warned by her subordinate.

"So that's it..." Minos sighed upon hearing that these troublesome people would no longer bother him because of Maisie. 'Well, sometimes fighting is not the way.'

But Sibley then spoke up. "Why don't you stay a few more days in our sect as guests? I would like to hear your stories. A lot of news from the northern region has reached the empire in recent years..."

"I can imagine..." Minos muttered but soon declined this person's offer. "I appreciate it, but we have a long journey ahead of us, and I don't want to be late returning to my state."

"Is that so? Too bad then..." She sighed but then decided to give Minos some advice. "Well, since I caused this misunderstanding, let me give you some warnings."

"Oh?" Minos looked with interest at that woman while his wives continued to stare at Sibley, still standing over Maida.

"The Gray Clouds Sect is at war with the Saints Killing Sect, so avoid passing through the area..." She informed Minos' group regarding the places of tension between those two organizations.

"... Also, try not to get involved in trouble like the previous one in our sect. You have no enemies here, but if you are careless, you will encounter deadly problems by being recognized by enemies of your family."

"So try to hide your identities when going through big cities and try not to use your real names." She advised.

"Hmm, that makes sense." Minos nodded in agreement. 'Well, if it weren't for Ford, no one would realize who we are. After all, I've never been in this place before, and few in the empire know me.'

'But that tip about the Saints Killing Sect is handy.'

Sibley sighed and said. "Anyway, also beware of your potential competitors in your mother's sect. You may have grown up in the northern region, but when you get to the Gray Clouds Sect, all that the candidates for succession in power in that organization will see is a new competitor."

"And you don't have to wait to get to that sect. Some of them will notice and maybe even try to act against you before you get to headquarters!"

"Is that so?" He asked as he looked at Ruth.

"Don't ask me. I was only a Spiritual King when I left the sect..." Ruth said without delay, understanding what he wanted to know.

But Gloria then commented. "I heard that Maisie would be your grandfather's successor, but she has competitors, and some might try to make it difficult for you, Minos."

"Sigh..."

"All right, I'll be careful." He said before making a gesture of thanks to that beautiful green-haired woman.

After that, the four lovers set off on Maida's back, making their way southeast towards the following stops, where they would buy more techniques and eventually reach the empire's capital.

As they flew away, this time without further trouble, Sibley continued to watch for them as her daughter floated beside her.

"Why did you hug him like that, mother? What would my father think if he saw you like that?" Naomi asked, as her face reddened.

Sibley laughed at her daughter and said. "What's wrong? He's just a child in my eyes, just like you!"

"Hmm, I know... There are women much older than you getting into bed with young men that fellow's age." Naomi pouted, sensing that her mother was playing with her.

"Anyway, that was the best thing I could have done." That expert sharpened her eyes as she continued to look at the trail of Minos' group. "I don't know how to explain it, but when I saw him, I felt like even I would be in danger if he fought with everything he has!"

"What?" Naomi opened her mouth in utter shock, not expecting her powerful mother to say something like that.

"Hmm, I guess he's already close to surpassing his mother..."
