An hour passed, Shangguan Bowe and the others were getting anxious. So much time had passed, could it possibly have failed? After all, Dominating creatures could traverse thousands of miles in a single step. If they were to send a message, they should have returned by now.
Logan gave a faint smile, looking at the few men: “Don’t worry, let’s wait a bit longer. After all, the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast needs to consider. Even if it didn’t show up, it will surely come back and reveal itself, it won’t just disappear.”
“Let’s hope so.” Shangguan Bowe shrugged, deep down, he even doubted that the Sovereign Demonic Beast had gone to relay the message. It might be hiding somewhere, after all, demonic beasts aren’t concerned with human virtues such as honesty and keeping promises. He thought they should make other arrangements.
After much hesitation, Ba Ke Yun said: “Shangguan Bowe is not without reason in his worries. The current situation is disadvantageous to us. What if something goes wrong and we continue to wait? Wouldn’t that be a waste of time? Maybe we should find another demonic beast to deliver the message, prepare on multiple fronts, and prevent problems before they occur, shouldn’t we?”
Considering that they all felt the same, Logan spread his hands, agreeing to search for another demonic beast to send the message. Overconfidence wasn’t a great idea, what if it was exactly as Ba Ke Yun and the others had said?
Logan didn’t dare to gamble, as once they miscalculated, the consequences would be unthinkable. This was not just about wasting a single day. If the Heavenly Saint Taoist achieved his goal, even a year’s time would be useless.
Just at this moment, the Sovereign Monster returned with the message that the Half-step Sacred Throne Demon Beast agreed to meet. He planned to bring a few people with him. Upon hearing this, Logan gave a sigh of relief. His previous calculations had been correct. Now that the creature agreed to the meeting, the probability of any subsequent cooperation being successful was almost certain.
However, Shangguan Bowe stepped forward, his eyes sharp: “No, we insist that the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast should come to us. If we follow this Dominator, what if it leads us into a trap? It fell into our array previously, who can guarantee its retaliation plan.
“It’s not that serious, if the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast really wanted revenge, why bother with all this? Why not bring millions of demon beasts back? Since the array has been dismantled, we, a few people, have no fighting power at all. I think you’re overthinking things, stop being so suspicious, it’s rare for the other side to concede.”
Ba Ke Yun was speechless at Shangguan Bowe’s overly extra caution, which he thought was excessive and counterproductive. Even all of them together were not strong enough to fight the Half-step Sacred Throne, they were merely using the array to bluff. But now, they had no ceremonial weapon to help them.
They couldn’t afford to waste any more time, waiting for the Sovereign Monster to pass another message would take another two hours. Plus, it could provoke the Half-step Sacred Throne, a price no one could afford to pay. The situation was so favorable now, as long as they went over and negotiated a good cooperation, they could thwart the conspiracy of the Heavenly Saint Taoist in the next step.
Logan coughed and said, “Whether it’s a trap or not, even if it’s a dangerous situation, we must try and go through. Besides, although the demonic creatures don’t talk about honesty and favors, a Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast has to consider the Heavenly Dao and the rules. Breaking a promise will lead to retaliation.”
“Whether you go or not, I have been scolded by both sides while relaying the messages. It was only by following my unfailing persuasion that the Half-step Sacred Throne slightly conceded. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have the qualifications to meet. We absolutely should not be ungrateful. If you don’t go, don’t trouble me anymore.”
The Sovereign Monster yawned, displeased: “If you don’t drink a toast, you’ll have to drink a forfeit. Do you know what the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast in the mountains symbolizes? Its status is second only to the Beast King. Since the Beast King has been unworldly for a hundred years, the Half-step Sacred Throne is equivalent to the Beast King, it’s the king of all beasts in the mountains.”
“Let’s go.” Logan swung his hand, without hesitation, leading the others to follow the Sovereign Monster. The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast lived in the secret land of the mountain range, where ordinary people couldn’t detect it. It used its Great Divine Technique to build something equivalent to a small world within the mountain range.
On the other hand, the hundred-odd people who followed Logan went back to their respective missions. The remaining three thousand people in the field were taken aback. Logan seemed determined to break the barrier. Why was there no progress after half a day? Instead, he left with a Sovereign Demonic Beast, the story seemed rather mysterious.
If one person came back and reported, they would naturally think that person was lying. But these more than a hundred people were not all lying. The three thousand people could only accept this fact. All of them fell silent. What exactly was going on? Why was Logan following the monster if he wasn’t breaking the barrier?
Moreover, that’s a Sovereign Demonic Beast, an existence out of reach of the masses. Even if the three thousand cooperated, they probably wouldn’t be a match for the Sovereign Demonic Beast. In the outside world, those in the Domination Realm can partake in the Territory. They would then be feared by many, and it’s a realm everyone is chasing, Also known as the strongest below Saint Realm. And the Saint Realm is universally recognized as the peak.
“I have a different view. Maybe the reason Logan hasn’t broken the barrier yet is because there’s another exit. Perhaps he has reached an agreement with that beast, at a certain cost, and found the other exit. After all, Logan had repelled a Half-step Saint. Ordinary Sovereigns would be happy to cooperate with him.”
Someone wracked their brain and shared their view. Otherwise, it was impossible to understand why Logan, who was so eager to leave earlier, had suddenly changed his demeanor. He seemed to have made no progress during the entire day, but had gotten closer to a Sovereign Demonic Beast. It must be due to some secret agreement between the two parties.
But most people shook their heads, thinking this argument was baseless. After all, the barrier was set up by a Saint. Even if the Sovereign Demonic Beast was strong, it couldn’t find another exit unless there was a flaw in the barrier set up by the Skyfire Daoist. But who dared to question the Saint?
Moreover, it sounded absurd that the Sovereign Demonic Beast and Logan would cooperate. There was deep hatred between the two sides, and that they hadn’t fought yet was already considered restraint. So, it’s definitely not for this reason, but there must be some connection. Logan wouldn’t waste his time unnecessarily, he must have a purpose.”
“I see it differently. Perhaps everything is just a cover-up. Logan had repeatedly emphasized before that he wanted to leave as soon as possible. In fact, he doesn’t want to leave at all, he just wants to split ways with us three thousand. There must be some opportunities in these mountains that Logan and the Sovereign Monster have gotten hold of.”
Another person stood up and endlessly analyzed: “Think about it everyone, three days have passed, but the Heavenly Saint Taoist has disappeared. Is it because we haven’t found the opportunity, so the Heavenly Saint Taoist is unwilling to open the barrier? We need to find the opportunity to break the barrier.”
“Suddenly, it’s all clear. The test set by the Heavenly Saint Taoist’s is to find a closed-door disciple. And we are facing the siege of millions of demon beasts. In fact, it’s just to cover up the existence of the opportunity.”
The eyes of the three thousand shone, they were successfully persuaded by this argument. If they could get the opportunity left by the Heavenly Saint Taoist, their path of cultivation would surely go smoothly. This thought excited them.
