BXBX NOVEL Chapter 595 - 595 Missing?
“Let’s talk about the rest after we escape. The most important thing is to gather our forces and break out of the encirclement.”
“That’s right. The secret realm is beginning to collapse. This is the only place we can get out of now. The demons must have set up an ambush outside. If we don’t prepare for it, we will suffer heavy losses.”
Other than the woman comforting Zhao Yu, the other Hall Masters discussed escaping from the secret realm.
“Now that the inner passage has completely collapsed, the survivors should all be here.”
“Let’s check the casualties first.”
The Hall Masters began to move.
Over the years, the number of members of the Heavenly God Palace had only reached a thousand. Even if they were unfamiliar, they knew each other’s faces.
Soon, under the command of the Hall Masters, the chaotic scene immediately became orderly.
A group of Hall Masters gathered in front of the crowd while the rest waited in small teams.
“What a b*stard!”
“We lost more than 400 people before the battle even started!”
A Hall Master could not help but curse after counting the numbers.
“How many men do we have left?” Someone asked.
“Currently, there are 401 in the Human Immortal Realm and 860 in the Earth Immortal Realm. As for the Hall Masters… excluding Zhao Yan and the others, only 32 of us are left.”
Hearing this data, the expressions of the Hall Masters became heavy.
“The demons are clearly targeting us, the Hall Masters. Now that we’ve lost ten people, what should we do next?”
Among the 400 casualties, most of them were only Human Immortal Realm cultivators affected by the battle between Celestial Realm powerhouses.
However, judging from the loss of their combat strength, those four hundred people were not as crushing as the loss of ten Hall Masters.
“Where did the High Gods go? In the past, even in seclusion, they would respond if something was reported. But this time, the secret realm has collapsed. Why haven’t they appeared?”
One of the Hall Masters spoke anxiously.
The ultimate fighting force of the Heavenly God Palace was not the thousand people here but the three unfathomable High Gods.
All of the Heavenly God Palace’s members knew the three High Gods had defeated the demon race 100,000 years ago and severely injured their leader.
Although none of them had seen the battle in the past, many ancient books recorded it.
Moreover, each of them had personally experienced the power of a High God. Therefore, no one doubted their power.
“Perhaps the High Gods have other plans. In short, we can’t wait any longer. We have to leave the secret realm first and protect the foundation.”
Some placed their hopes on the three High Gods, while others planned to save themselves.
“Retreat? How do we retreat? The whereabouts of the three Hall Masters who went out to scout are unknown. Its obvious demons are lying in ambush outside the entrance!”
“If we rush out rashly, we’ll probably fall into another encirclement!”
“What? Is there any other way? This secret realm won’t last long!”
“Let’s wait a little longer. The three High Gods might appear soon. Without them, there’s no way we can defeat those demons.”
Seeing the space collapsing more violently, the thousand people present became impatient again.
“Enough!”
Just as everyone was arguing, a burly man stood up. His body emitted a violent aura, like a humanoid beast standing in front of everyone.
“It’s Hall Master Hong!”
Seeing the man who stood out, everyone, including the Hall Masters, quietened.
Hall Master Hong was at the peak of the Celestial Realm and was extremely powerful. His status in the Heavenly God Palace was second only to the three High Gods.
He did not stand out just now because he wanted to see if anyone would think of him in the crisis.
In the end, everyone’s hopes were placed on the three High Gods.
It made Hall Master Hong furious, but there was nothing he could do.
He had already fought with demons before, and the enemy’s strength had far exceeded his expectations.
Even as a powerhouse at the peak of the Celestial Realm, he did not dare to say that he was confident to leave safely with anyone here.
Still, as the strongest existence below the three High Gods of the Heavenly God Palace, he couldn’t back down at this critical juncture. He had to step forward and lead everyone.
“Everyone, calm down. We’re facing an unprecedented crisis now. If we can’t unite, we’ll be tricked by the demons!” Hall Master Hong said firmly.
Everyone nodded and felt it made sense.
“Hall Master Hong, please lead us. We will listen to you!”
“That’s right, Hall Master Hong. We’ll follow you!”
Someone raised his arms and shouted, immediately causing a chain reaction.
Without the protection of the three High Gods, Hall Master Hong had become their last hope.
Hall Master Hong had always wanted everyone’s support.
However, the moment he got it, he could not feel happy. At this moment, he only felt deep pressure and a dreading sense of responsibility.
“Everyone.”
Hall Master Hong took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.
“The High God’s whereabouts are unknown. We can’t wait for them to arrive. Therefore, we have to save ourselves!”
These words made people’s hearts cold, but they also placed the worst situation in front of everyone.
Everyone was silent, waiting for Hall Master Hong’s final order.
“There must be an ambush outside the entrance. If we go out one by one, we will only be sending heads no matter how many people we send.”
“There’s only one way now, and that is for everyone to work together and break out of the encirclement.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere fell.
No one agreed or objected.
They had long thought of an easy way to break out of the encirclement.
However, when they thought about how even Celestial Realm powerhouses went out without any news, how many of them could survive?
To put it nicely, they were working together to break out of the siege.
To put it bluntly, it was to make people with low cultivation levels become cannon fodder.
Hall Master Hong seemed to have guessed the thoughts of the crowd.
He said again, “As the leader of the Hall Masters, I will definitely rush to the front and leave at the back! As for the other Hall Masters, you must also take part in your duties!”
“If anyone dares to mess around midway, I’ll drag you into the abyss even if I die!”
Hall Master Hong’s statement immediately moved everyone present.
“Hall Master Hong…”
“There’s no need to say anything else. I’ve made up my mind! Prepare to move!”
