An Effective Bait

Immortal Gate

Core Region

In a large ancient hall, nine gigantic and tall beings, all wearing ancient golden garments, stood on high platforms as they stared down at the ancient elder from the room of flames; the nine beings were covered in darkness, making it difficult to decern their faces. One of the ancient beings spoke, this man's voice sounding heavy and overwhelming.

"Dead?! Who would dare offend us, the Immortal Gate, let alone kill a Dao Child?!"

"Yes, Ancient Grand Elder; there is no more trace of the Dao Child; it's as if he was erased from existence."

The ancient elder replied respectfully; he had his head down as if not daring to stare into the eyes of these nine Ancient Grand Elders. Again, another being joined in, his voice as heavy and oppressive as the last.
