Chapter 866 Elder Bai Panics, Discusses Countermeasures

“Luo Hou, come out and let’s talk!”

“Luo Hou, come out!”

“I know everything. Hurry up and come out, let’s talk!”

The Demon Lord’s voice echoed within the chaos space, as he wanted Luo Hou to reveal himself and meet with him.

But, would Luo Hou dare?

Of course not.

Luo Hou’s only advantage now is that he is in the dark while everyone else is in the light.

He can manipulate everything from the shadows.

Once he reveals himself, he loses this advantage by moving from the dark to the light.

The most crucial aspect is that Luo Hou’s current situation is unique; in a direct confrontation, he truly is no match for the Demon Lord.

If he reveals himself and the Demon Lord strikes him mercilessly, Luo Hou would not be able to withstand him.

Without revealing himself, Luo Hou is confident that the Demon Lord will never find him.

Once he appears, there is a chance he might be eliminated by Luo Hou.

The choice of whether to reveal himself is obvious.

For the Demon Lord, who is shouting to meet face to face, Luo Hou gives no response.

At this moment, Luo Hou is like an ant on a hot pan.

He is continuously beset by internal and external troubles; his strategy has been exposed by Yin Celestial Son and is unlikely to achieve its desired effect.

The internal trouble is the rebellion of the Demon Lord, which has completely ruined his entire strategy.

In such a situation of continuous internal and external troubles, Luo Hou absolutely does not dare to meet with the Demon Lord, fearing that the Demon Lord might act against him.

Who would have imagined that the Demon Lord desperately seeking Luo Hou might not be to meet and greet him, but rather, to meet him one last time?

It’s worth noting that the difference between meeting once and meeting for the last time is enormous.

The Demon Lord, searching for Luo Hou within the chaos space, aims to seize the initiative.

As long as he can find the hidden mastermind, the Demon Lord won’t be passive like he is now.

Unfortunately, the Demon Lord searches through the entire chaos space and still fails to find Luo Hou.

Fruitless, the Demon Lord becomes extremely agitated; he knows that Luo Hou is definitely here.

Yet, he still can’t find Luo Hou.

“Why?”

“Why is this happening?”

“Where is Luo Hou?”

“Where exactly is Luo Hou?”

Due to the prolonged failure in locating Luo Hou, the Demon Lord’s emotions gradually lose control.

In fact, even the Demon Lord himself is unsure whether the emotional meltdown is due to Luo Hou’s manipulation.

The Demon Lord tries his best to keep his thoughts clear, resolute in his decision not to leave the chaos space.

As long as he doesn’t leave the chaos space, he won’t inadvertently act in Luo Hou’s favor and be manipulated.

…

…

East Sea.

At this moment, Peacock Great Ming King, Nato, Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and other tier-two powerhouses are gathered here.

Something has happened.

A few days ago, a stone gate descended upon Jie Mountain, releasing numerous monsters.

These monsters are immensely powerful, all tier-two powerhouses.

As of today, many of Heaven and Earth’s friends have been consumed by these monsters as blood food.

The news quickly reached Elder Bai.

Elder Bai is Lin Yuan’s chief steward; in Lin Yuan’s absence, these matters must be reported to him first.

Elder Bai, after receiving the reports from various places, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.

Even though Elder Bai has seen much in his time, he turns pale and bloodless upon seeing these reports.

There are too many!

Far too many!

Originally, Elder Bai and the others only knew that a mysterious stone gate had fallen on Jie Mountain, releasing “many” tier-two monsters.

“Many” encapsulates a large range.

Seven or eight tier-two monsters can be considered “many.”

A dozen tier-two monsters can also be considered “many.”

Twenty or thirty tier-two monsters equally qualify as “many.”

However, by now, already more than two hundred tier-two monsters have appeared.

It’s important to know, these are the ones discovered; whether there are more undiscovered is unknown.

Even combining all the tier-two powerhouses present isn’t even half of the tier-two monsters.

Undoubtedly, figuring out how to deal with these tier-two monsters is a difficult problem for Elder Bai and the others.

Engaging them might result in defeat!

Not engaging them, allowing these tier-two monsters to consume Heaven and Earth’s myriad races, will only make them increasingly powerful, ultimately nurturing a Poisonous Insect King, which will be even more challenging to handle.

With Lin Yuan, Yin Celestial Son, Yang Jing and other apex strongmen absent, Elder Bai reaches a point where he truly can’t make up his mind.

Elder Bai is a strategist, typically versatile in strategies with fewer decisions.

Elder Bai is capable of devising multiple strategies.

However, asking Elder Bai to select one to implement is difficult for him.

“Sigh!” Elder Bai sighed heavily and said in a deep voice, “So many monsters, with our strength, they may be difficult to deal with!”

After Elder Bai spoke, he glanced around at the many tier-two powerhouses present.

Elder Bai’s intention was clear, inviting everyone to speak freely and express their views.

When Lin Yuan was present, he could make decisions.

Without Lin Yuan, with Elder Bai indecisive, he began implementing a democratic approach.

“If we can deal with them, we must!”

“If we can’t deal with them, we must still try!”

“Ultimately, we cannot simply watch these monsters use Heaven and Earth’s myriad races as blood food.” Despite being a woman, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder showed unyielding strength, leading with a firm stance.

While Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder had a staunch attitude, others showed indecision.

“What if?”

“Perhaps we should try contacting Lin Yuan for him to make a decision?” A tier-two expert whose strength wasn’t remarkable suggested.

Among tier-two experts, there are variations in strength and hierarchy.

Facing monsters several times their number, tier-two powerhouses like Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder and Peacock Great Ming King, confident in their strength, naturally take a hardline stance.

However, those with middling or weaker strength among tier-two powerhouses are filled with fear facing monsters many times their number.

The saying “when the sky falls, tall ones shoulder it” applies; Lin Yuan, the tallest one, is absent, leaving them anxious.

The suggestion to contact Lin Yuan and ask him to decide was promptly rejected by Peacock Great Ming King.

“Impossible!”

“Lin Yuan is currently battling in the void against a tier-one powerhouse. While we can’t assist him, how could we distract him now?”

“Moreover, despite the large number of monsters emerging from that gate, they are all tier-two, within our attainable capacity.”

“Under such circumstances, seeking Lin Yuan’s aid would only reveal our incompetence, wouldn’t it?”

“My proposal is to unite all our forces and eliminate these monsters, ensuring Lin Yuan has no worries!” Peacock Great Ming King spoke with exceptional determination.
