“Perhaps, there is something hidden within the mountain range that Heavenly Saint Taoist wants to acquire, using everyone else. The adoption of closed-door disciples or the massacre and examination of demonic beasts are all just a facade.”

The idea suddenly hit Logan like a bolt of lightning after Ba Ke Yun’s reminder. It seemed as if everything was clear to him in an instant. Otherwise, it would be unexplainable as to why the barrier had still not been opened after three days.

Shangguan Bowen seemed to have had an epiphany as well, understanding, “In other words, it doesn’t matter whether we ten thousand people are alive or dead. All that matters is that we catch people’s attention and prevent them from suspecting the truth.”

“There’s perhaps an even more horrifying possibility — the Heavenly Saint Taoist is not out there but has already arrived in this mountain range along with the ten thousand people who came in initially. The Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast must have sensed this, which is why it attacked personally. However, it retreated and left in the end due to its inferior strength.”

A frown crept onto Logan’s face. If the barrier was broken now, there would be absolutely no change to their situation. For as soon as the ‘thing’ within the mountain was obtained, everyone who knew about it would be exterminated. The Heavenly Saint Taoist would certainly be unwilling to let anyone leave safely after knowing the truth.

Shangguan Bowen was stunned and puzzled. Just what kind of horrifying thing could make Heavenly Saint Taoist establish such an arrangement? And among the three thousand people within the mountain range, were they all destined to be sacrificed? Although they were reluctant, if everything was the truth, none of them would be able to escape.

A Sanctuary Powerhouse could kill millions of people with a mere wave of their hand. Even if their sects were to come forward, they would be no match for the Sanctuary Powerhouse. This realization filled Shangguan Bowen with despair, but he was already in the thick of things and couldn’t avoid the consequences, regardless of whether the outcome was good or bad.

At the same time, Logan said in a heavy tone, “There is one possibility — that Heavenly Saint Taoist is on the brink of collapse and his strength is only a tenth of what it used to be. This may be the only chance for us to turn the tables. We must find him and destroy him as quickly as possible. This is the only solution.”

“Three days have passed and the mountains remain unchanged as before. This indicates that Heavenly Saint Taoist’s plan is not going smoothly. But the mountains stretch for a thousand miles and it won’t be easy to find him.”

Ba Ke Yun shook his head. Even though he did not wish to dampen their spirits, the harsh reality was looming before them. The gap in the level of their cultivation was too huge — even if he were right before their eyes, it is not guaranteed that they would be able to find him, not to mention that this radius was a thousand miles wide.

Logan paced back and forth, acknowledging the validity in Ba Ke Yun’s statements. Indeed, the situation for the four of them was far from ideal. If they could get the support of the other three thousand people, there might be a better chance of success. However, those people were excessively self-centered and had already fled in fear when facing the Sanctuary Powerhouse.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. Everyone was in a state of desperation without any remedies. Moreover, they knew in their hearts that even if they found Heavenly Saint Taoist, would they be able to beat him combined? After all, a severely injured Sanctuary Powerhouse was still terrifyingly powerful.

An unconcerned big man from Shangguan Bowen’s side voiced, “Young Master, these things are beyond what we can handle. It would be best to find a way to get out of this barrier and disappear to the ends of the earth, where no one would be able to find us. You absolutely must not risk it; because the gap in power between us and the Sanctuary Powerhouse is too massive.”

The only thought in his mind at the moment was to leave with the Young Master. As for the Heavenly Saint Taoist’s intentions and conspiracies, they did not concern him at all. He was just an ordinary cultivator and not a Sanctuary Powerhouse. How could he possibly resolve this?

Shangguan Bowen shook his head – first of all, they couldn’t break the barrier, so how could they even think about escaping? Besides, if the Sanctuary Powerhouse had murderous intent, a single Rule could detect them within a million miles. No place would be safe to hide, and their sect might even be implicated in their anger.

“There is only one plan left – to talk to the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast we met yesterday. I believe they have lived in this mountain range generation after generation and definitely know what the treasure is. They wouldn’t want it to be taken by outsiders either. Moreover, with the help of a Half-step Saint’s Seat, we would have confidence in dealing with the Heavenly Saint Taoist.”

Logan took a deep breath and made a bold decision. Although he fully understood the recklessness of this action, because if it didn’t work, they would die at the hand of the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast, making their efforts more detrimental than beneficial. However, given the current situation, such a countermeasure seemed to be the only feasible option.

He was fully aware that they didn’t have much time left. The Heavenly Saint Taoist would be able to acquire the ‘thing’ within a day or two. Once he did, everything would be set in stone, rendering all their efforts useless. They would crumble and die easily at the hands of the Sanctuary Powerhouse, no matter how much they strived.

After weighing the odds, Ba Ke Yun nodded, “I agree. Even if it’s a suicidal mission, it’s better than certain death. Since it has come to this and we have no way out, even if we were to die at the hands of Heavenly Saint Taoist, our names would probably be remembered.”

“I will go as well.” Shangguan Bowen overcame his fears and decided to join them on the journey. He believed that Logan could create a miracle. He had no other option – he had heard before that Logan had decapitated a Transcendent Tier being when he was at the Mythical Realm status. Now, as a Transcendent Tier being himself, there might be a chance for him to decapitate a Sanctuary Powerhouse.

Finding a Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast was a difficult task, but Logan had already figured out a solution to it. Just capture a demonic beast and question it about the whereabouts of the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast. Of course, ordinary low-tier demonic beasts would not do because it was possible that they had not even seen a Half-step Sacred Throne Demnonic Beast their entire lives.

Ba Ke Yun’s face was calm, but he proposed a serious idea, “We need a tough one; ordinary ones may not be aware of it. Let’s capture a Sovereign Demonic Beast directly; they must surely know where the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast is.”

“Isn’t that too reckless?” Shangguan Bowen was astonished. Ba Ke Yun was simply insane. How easy would it be to capture a Sovereign Demonic Beast? Considering their levels of cultivation, the highest was his guard, who was merely at the Complete King Seat status. When dealing with a Sovereign Demonic beast, they were still a bit weak.

Logan had lower cultivation strength, but his array mastery was strong. The key point was that the intelligence of a Sovereign Demonic Beast was very high; they wouldn’t fall into traps easily. The problem was they didn’t have the luxury of time. The more they delayed, the higher the chance of the Heavenly Saint Taoist obtaining the ‘thing’, and their time would be wasted.

The guard standing aside had sweat beads dripping from his forehead. Logan was crazy enough, and to his surprise, his guard was the same. He wondered whether their decision to follow him was a blessing or a curse.

Ba Ke Yun was not frightened at all and said with anticipation, “Don’t be afraid. My cultivation realm is also at the Complete King Seat level. Moreover, my strength is three levels higher than others at the same level. I’m not afraid of dealing with a Sovereign Demonic Beast. And with the help of you all, we might be able to trap the Sovereign Demonic Beast in an hour.”

“There’s no need for such hassle. We’re here just to ask some questions, not fight to the death. As long as we find a Sovereign Demonic Beast and explain the pros and cons of the matter to them, they will surely report to the Half-step Sacred Throne Demonic Beast.” ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

Logan glanced at them, feeling they were overthinking it. If they really beat up the Sovereign Demonic Beast, considering the pride of such a beast, would it still deliver a message for them? That would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
