Chapter 724 - 718: A Strategy for Breaking the Deadlock

"Second Elder, look at this." The Void Race member picked up the Buddha medallion and handed it over.

The Second Elder of the Void Race took the Buddha medallion and examined it carefully, noticing that the medallion was dim and lacked any luster.

At this time, the projection of the Yin Celestial Son slowly spoke up: "This should be used to transmit signals. Once he discovers your Void Race, he will use it to transmit signals."

"At that time, the powerful ones under the Buddha’s Gate will come carrying the Buddha’s relics to slay you."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder of the Void Race and others couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts, with cold sweat appearing on their foreheads.

However, the next words from the Yin Celestial Son made them all breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, we encountered him suddenly, and before he had a chance to send out the signal, you slew him."

"The signal was not transmitted, this Void relic is safe and can be used as your sanctuary," the Yin Celestial Son slowly said.

Second Elder of the Void Race: "????"

All members of the Void Race: "????"

All the members of the Void Race displayed expressions of confusion, as they hadn’t understood what the Yin Celestial Son meant.

What signal transmission?

What do you mean the Void relic is safe? Haven’t the Void relics always been safe?

Looking at the confused expressions of the Void Race members, the Yin Celestial Son immediately explained all the information he had received from the Peacock Great Ming King to them.

Upon learning the context and details of the situation, the Second Elder of the Void Race couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

Thankfully, the Yin Celestial Son timely informed them of this secret, allowing them to unexpectedly kill that novice monk.

Otherwise, if they hadn’t reacted quickly enough, and the novice monk had sent the message out, it would most likely have been disastrous.

"If all Void relics have spies planted, then the rest of the clan will be in danger!" the Second Elder of the Void Race said worriedly.

From the current situation, things seem rather tricky.

The Yin Celestial Son immediately inquired: "Then, why not have them stay away from the Void relics?"

The Second Elder of the Void Race’s expression became slightly tense as he replied with a wry smile: "That won’t work!"

"The energy within the Void is extremely volatile and cannot be directly absorbed. Only the energy within the Void relics is relatively gentle."

"That is to say, before the energy within our bodies is completely depleted, we must go to the Void relics to replenish energy."

Wa Huang, Buddha, and Demon Lord established Wa Huang’s Palace, Great Burial Heaven Temple, and Great Demon God Palace as venues to create an environment for cultivation.

These Void relics were originally arenas left behind by powerful individuals within the Void, but now they have become Void relics due to nobody maintaining them.

The speed at which Void relics can restore energy is far inferior to places like Wa Huang’s Palace, Great Burial Heaven Temple, and Great Demon God Palace.

Yet, they are still the only sanctuary for the Void Race.

Now, Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha are attacking from this sanctuary, completely cutting off the retreat for the Void Race.

"Second Elder, what’s so difficult about this?"

"Isn’t this relic ours? Just have everyone come to this Void relic, wouldn’t that solve the problem?" one of the Void Race members said naively.

The Second Elder of the Void Race was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "We have so many members in the Void Race. Never mind that this single Void relic can’t accommodate everyone."

"Do you think Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha are deaf and blind? Once all members move here, wouldn’t it give them the opportunity to catch us all in one go?"

The strategic approach of the Void Race against Wa Huang, Demon Lord, and Buddha was to break up and not give them the opportunity to catch everyone in one go.

Now, if everyone gathers at this one relic, wouldn’t it just be consolidating what should be divided?

"Difficult!"

"Difficult! Difficult!" The Second Elder of the Void Race sighed, exclaiming "difficult" three times. He indeed couldn’t think of a strategy to break the impasse.

Clearly showing the current predicament of the clan.

After hearing the Second Elder of the Void Race’s narration, the Yin Celestial Son also fell into contemplation.

As an ally of the Void Race, he couldn’t personally help.

However, offering ideas was still within the realm of possibility.

After some pondering, the Yin Celestial Son slowly said: "For now, you need to first inform the whole clan of this news."

"Although entering the Void relics is inevitable, preemptively informing them will always allow them to be somewhat prepared."

Once the Yin Celestial Son finished speaking, the Second Elder of the Void Race nodded repeatedly, then instructed the clansmen beside him: "Quickly, convey this information to the clan."

The members of the Void Race have a secret technique for communication.

As long as they are within the Void, no matter the distance, they can communicate messages with each other.

After using the secret technique to send the message, soon, they received replies from some clan members.

The member responsible for transmitting the message from the Void Race looked extremely grim as he reported to the Second Elder: "Second Elder, the situation isn’t good."

"Some clan members have already depleted their internal energy and must quickly find nearby Void relics to replenish energy."

"And some members haven’t responded, likely they’ve met a grim fate."

Hearing these reports, the Second Elder of the Void Race was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, anxiously saying: "How can we find a breakthrough strategy?"

"The Grand Elder entrusted the clan to me, I cannot lead the tribe toward extinction!"

"There must be a breakthrough, a must-breakthrough!"

The Second Elder of the Void Race combed through the military strategies given by Lin Yuan, but unfortunately, according to his understanding, he still couldn’t find a breakthrough strategy.

In situations like this, worrying is useless, and often the more anxious you are, the harder it is to devise a plan.

Seeing this scene, the Yin Celestial Son sighed: "Alas!"

"I do have a strategy, but it requires sacrificing some clan members as bait."

"You need to sacrifice a portion of the clan members to buy time for others."

Hearing the Yin Celestial Son’s words, the Second Elder of the Void Race fell into silence.

As a leader of the tribe, how could he willingly sacrifice his clansmen?

Yet, aside from this, he had no other solution.

Without his own strategy, if he didn’t follow the Yin Celestial Son’s method, all clan members would end up in a perilous situation.

"There can only be gains through sacrifices. For the continuation of the tribe, someone must be sacrificed!"

"Forgive me!" Thinking this, the Second Elder of the Void Race gritted his teeth and asked the Yin Celestial Son: "Yin Celestial Son, what is your plan?"

The Yin Celestial Son looked at the Second Elder of the Void Race and said: "Sound East, Strike West."

"Sound East, Strike West?" the Second Elder of the Void Race asked with confusion.

The Yin Celestial Son nodded, saying: "Wa Huang, Demon Lord, Buddha, each have designated areas where they are responsible for keeping watch over the Void relics..."
