「Not long after.」
Ming Yu invited her mother Ming Cang, Gui Wannian, Shen Jun, Jing Fuhai, Zhang Jiujiu, and four other purple-robed Elders to the Water Palace. She also invited over ten Marine Race elites who had previously clashed with Green Cloud Peak's disciples. Additionally, many Ascending Lake Elders, Elite Disciples, Deacons, and Inner Door disciples with cultivation levels of late-stage Class II and above attended. Together, they held an internal meeting within Ascending Lake.
The core content was simply to convey Shen Mo's will, describe the vision for the Shape Transforming Pill and the demon cultivator lineage, and to quell dissatisfaction within the Marine Race.
Shen Mo attended the meeting as well. However, he did not lead its proceedings. Instead, he served more as the master of cave paradise, the Divine Bridge Realm Immortal Master, and the Law Master of the Red Flame Sect, lending his authority to endorse Ming Yu's words and actions.
