The Patriarch of the Gui Race wanted to take action but he stayed put after hearing Second Patriarch's words.
Second Patriarch was a person of high status in the race after all. It would be disrespectful if he were to take action now even if he was doubtful that Second Patriarch could handle this matter.
By the time Second Patriarch got close to the battlefield, Lu Li had killed four more patriarchs.
The old demons were overjoyed. They only saw a glimmer of hope but now it seemed like the sun had risen from the east. The window had become a door.
The Second Elder had brought more than fifty experts with him. Some of them were supreme experts from the vassal clans. These fifty experts were all together and had not been separated.
At the same time, Second Patriarch mobilized more than 100,000 scouts to look for the old demons' whereabouts.
In fact, Second Patriarch also suspected that Lu Li was involved.
Otherwise, how could those 20 old demons kill so many patriarchs?
That being said, he had told the Hall of Patriarchs so he had to hang on. This time, he was prepared to kill all the old demons at the cost of his life. He also had to find Lu Li and kill him.
"Report!"
A Saint King of the later stage came to report, "Second Patriarch, we found traces of the Rodin Demons in the Water Dream Swamp. I think there are more than a dozen old demons hiding there."
"Let's go!"
Second Patriarch took out a map and saw that it wasn't too far away. He waved his hand and dozens of powerful warriors flew over in a grandiose manner.
It only took them a couple of hours to arrive. There were many top level scouts here who said they saw a group of old demons go in and didn't come out.
Their scouts were all around and they were sure that the old demons didn't come out.
"Everyone, sneak in. Don't scare them away!"
Second Patriarch ordered. It wasn't hard for him to kill the old demons but he was afraid that they would run away.
The old demons all had their own skills. If they were allowed to escape, it would be difficult to chase them down.
The dozens of powerful warriors sneaked in and scanned the surroundings with psychic power. There were some broken Divine Patterns in the Water Dream Swamp. It was hard to sneak in and they might accidentally touch the Divine Patterns.
In order not to alarm the old demons inside, Second Patriarch ordered them to be extremely careful and not to touch the remaining Divine Patterns.
After tens of thousands of miles, they had entered the depths of the Water Dream Swamp. The Divine Patterns here were even more concentrated.
Second Elder and the others looked around in bewilderment. They had traveled for so long, so why hadn't they encountered those old devils?
"Hum ~"
Suddenly, a beam of light shone from a swamp on the left. The light was like a fire serpent darting in all directions. Soon, the ground within a thousand miles was lit up.
The Second Elder roared in anger, "Who was it that activated the Divine Inscription?"
The group of experts glanced at each other, all of them feeling very innocent. An elder scanned the area with his divine sense and said, "This doesn't seem to be an attack-type Divine Inscription?
No … this is a teleportation divine inscription! "
"Hum ~"
Beams of light enveloped the experts one by one before they disappeared from where they were.
Fear flashed in the second elder's eyes. He felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as if he could smell a conspiracy.
He was also enveloped by the light. With a flash of white light, he appeared in a barren mountain thousands of miles north of the Water Dream Swamp.
As soon as he came out, he immediately acted as if he was facing a great enemy, fearing that there would be an ambush nearby.
He scouted the surroundings, but found that there were no martial artists nearby.
"Could it be that the Teleportation Divine Rune already existed in the Water Dream Swamp?
I have never heard of it … "
The Second Elder blinked his eyes in confusion. He quickly flew in mid-air and activated a jade talisman in his hand, calling the other experts to gather around him.
At the same time, he found scouts nearby and asked them to send a message to the rest of the absolute experts, asking them to gather in the nearby cities.
After flying for more than two hours, he met two elders.
The two elders were also puzzled. They didn't know why they were suddenly teleported away.
The Second Elder was also very puzzled. He brought the two elders to a nearby medium-sized city to gather.
When they arrived at the city, more than ten elders had already gathered there. The Second Elder was slightly relieved.
It seemed like they had accidentally activated the Teleportation Divine Inscription in the Water Dream Swamp. Soon, all the absolute experts would gather here.
After waiting for three days, the Second Elder realized something was wrong. He realized that there were only over thirty absolute experts in this city. There were still over twenty absolute experts who had yet to arrive.
According to the scouts' investigation, more than ten absolute experts were actually in groups of three or four. They were flying far away, and there were ten elders who were nowhere to be seen.
The Second Elder quickly asked the scouts to send a message, asking those absolute experts to come back and not to split up anymore in case they were falling into a trap.
They waited for more than one day. A scout commander flew over and entered the city.
He knelt on one knee in front of the Second Elder and said in a sorrowful tone, "Second Elder, something has happened.
There was a battle tens of millions of miles away in the west. When the scouts arrived, they found that three elders had already fallen! "
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Second Elder and the group of experts had a huge change in expression. Although only three elders had been killed, it meant that this was indeed the enemy's trap. There was still no news of the other ten elders. It meant that they had probably perished.
As expected …
After another half a day, an elder from Rong City teleported over with bad news. The jade talismans of those ten absolute experts had all shattered.
This matter had already been reported back to the Hall of Elders. The Great Elder had given instructions that all the experts were not to act rashly. They were all to wait in this city and wait for his return.
The Second Elder also did not dare to send any more messages back. He did not dare to say anything. This was because the number of elders and the absolute experts of the vassal clans who had died in battle had already reached forty to fifty. Among them, the Gui clan had lost more than thirty elders. This was already a huge loss.
The Gui clan only had about a hundred elders on the surface. Now, one-third of them were dead.
Moreover, there were still eleven elders outside. Who knew if something had happened?
If they continued to die, it would shake the foundation of the Gui clan.
Perfected experts could not be easily moved. The Gui clan occupied so many realms and had such a large territory.
Without experts who were infinitely close to Perfected guarding them, there would be a huge mess.
Would they have to ask Perfected experts to handle such a small matter?
On the other hand, if too many elders were killed or injured, the prestige of the Gui clan would also decline.
When the great clans saw that the Gui clan was so useless?
Their elders were so easily killed?
Then wouldn't they be able to easily destroy the Gui clan if they joined forces?
Would they divide up their territories?
The other clans that were as powerful as the Gui Clan would look down on the Gui Clan. In the long run, the Gui Clan would continue to decline and eventually be wiped out.
Without prestige, everyone would look down on you and bully you!
Therefore, the great clans paid special attention to their reputation. Their dignity could not be challenged. This time, the dignity of the Gui Clan was not only challenged, but so many of their patriarchs had died.
If they did not act with caution, then the foundation of the Gui Clan would be shaken. The Gui Clan might go into decline or even be wiped out.
Three days later, more bad news came. The patriarchs that went after the Gui clan were killed. Scouts found traces of fire near the battlefield, which proved that Lu Li was the culprit.
Second Patriarch sent out many scouts to find the remaining patriarchs and tell them to come back. None of the patriarchs in the city were allowed to go out as well. They had to wait for the Chief Patriarch to come.
