Inside a secret meeting room of the Shadow Council, dim candlelight flickered, casting shadows across grim faces. The Dark Lord Samael sat at the head of the table, his eyes slightly narrowed as if he could see through all the illusions of the world. Arthur, his trusted aide, stood to one side, waiting for instructions.
Samael spoke slowly, his voice low and authoritative: "Arthur, what do you make of the intelligence regarding the Jiuyou Jade Bi?"
Arthur bowed slightly and replied, "My lord, according to our intelligence network, the Jiuyou Jade Bi is nothing more than a fabricated pretense designed to mislead Haofeng and his Nine Nether Sacred Land. Its true purpose is to divert their attention and buy time for our real plan."
