There were millions of races in the eight galaxies with all kinds of strange races. Naturally, there were many races that were good at tracking.
Several major races in the Tianyu Galaxy were good at this. Patriarchs of the Rhinoceros Ape Race teleported over and spent a fortune to hire patriarchs of several major races to track Lu Li down.
Lu Li did not rest during this time. He had been wandering around the thousands of universes controlled by the Rhinoceros Ape Race. He acted in a domineering and unscrupulous manner.
He would slaughter a city here and destroy a land of resources there. He was having a great time.
There was no pattern to his route. He would shoot here and there. Sometimes, he would come back.
Every time Lu Li showed up, the powerful warriors of the Rhinoceros Ape Race would swarm toward the nearby universes.
Powerful warriors and warriors from nearby universes were on the move as well, searching all over the world.
However, after more than a dozen days, they noticed that Lu Li appeared in a universe far away. He left after a massacre.
Soon, another two months passed. The Rhinoceros Ape Race had hired more than a dozen powerful warriors. They were all major races that were good at tracking.
They teleported over as fast as they could and joined the chase. Unfortunately, they had been on the trail for more than half a month without any good news.
If Lu Li had relied on Stealth Skill alone, the major races might have a chance to track him down.
But Lu Li had mastered the Traceless Way, which was acknowledged to be the most powerful way of stealth in the entire region. How could the major races find him?
Not even warriors at the absolute completion could find him, not to mention those that were infinitely close to it.
Many patriarchs of the Rhinoceros Ape Race had given up. Young elites of the race had been relocated as well. They were prepared for the worst.
Chief Patriarch had been treating their Family Patriarch and hadn't shown up for months. Second Patriarch and the other patriarchs had lost all hope.
According to information from nearby, the Meng Race and the Glass Race had been having secret talks for many times. If it were just two races, it would not be a big deal.
The point was that several major races nearby had joined in. Clearly, the two races were going to support one of the major races to join forces with the other races to attack the Rhinoceros Ape Race.
"Let's wait for another month!"
The Second Elder made up his mind. If there was no change in the situation within a month, then the Second Elder would have to leave.
He had to find a way to negotiate with Lu Li and ask the Clan Leader of the Rock Race to come and take a look.
If they invited a foreign tribe king over, it was very likely that the news of their tribe king being in trouble would no longer be able to be concealed. However, it had been a long time since their tribe king had appeared. In fact, many large tribes had already guessed what had happened.
A month passed by quickly, and the situation did not change.
He spent a lot of money to hire powerful trackers but none of them could find Lu Li.
The Second Elder sighed slightly. He got up and walked towards the castle where their Clan King lived.
The castle was so tightly sealed that not even a mosquito could fly in. The guards at the entrance were two old ancestors who were nearing the end of their lifespan.
After the Second Elder and the two Ancestors bowed, they opened up the Divine Inscriptions and walked in. They wanted to see what the situation was and also discuss with the Grand Elder to see what they should do next.
"Huh?"
After he entered, his entire body trembled. Then, he knelt on the ground with an excited expression and choked with sobs, "King, you're finally awake!"
In the hall of the castle, a powerful warrior with a face full of wrinkles was sitting quietly. Next to him stood the Chief Patriarch.
The Clan Leader of the Rhinoceros Race looked at Second Patriarch, waved his hand and said, "Get up. As a matter of fact … I have not been sleeping. I know everything that has happened during this time!"
"Ah?"
Second Patriarch was shocked. He looked to the Chief Patriarch and saw the latter nodding. Second Patriarch was even more confused. He asked, "Clan Leader, what are you …"
"There is something wrong with my cultivation!"
The Clan Leader of the Rhinoceros Race sighed. His voice was filled with regret and unwillingness. He said, "My lifespan is coming to an end. I can only live for a few more years."
"Ah?"
Second Patriarch's eyes reddened. He should call this Clan Leader Second Grandpa. This Clan Leader had supported the Rhinoceros Race for more than 100,000 years. He had led the Rhinoceros Race through many crises. If it were not for him, the Rhinoceros Race would have been destroyed.
The Clan Leader originally had a few thousand years of lifespan. He didn't expect that he could only live for a few more years?
Second Patriarch was extremely sorrowful. At the same time, he was panicking. Was the Rhinoceros Race going to completely decline in this generation?
He and the Chief Patriarch might be able to break through to the Martial Perfection realm, but this half step might not be able to be crossed in tens of thousands of years. They might not even be able to break through in their entire lives.
Without the Martial Perfection realm, the Rhinoceros Race's position as the overlord would definitely be lost. It was even a problem if they could survive!
"Calm down!"
When the Clan Leader of the Rhinoceros Ape Race saw the Second Elder's despondent appearance, he coldly reprimanded him and said, "I have been pretending to be asleep during this period of time because this King wanted to see if you could support our Rhinoceros Ape Race without me around. This King … is very disappointed!"
Plop!
The Chief Patriarch and Second Patriarch knelt down at the same time. Both of them said in a deep voice, "We are useless!"
"You are indeed useless!"
The Clan Leader of the Rhinoceros Race said bluntly, "Let's not talk about the battle with the Meng Race and the Glass Race. When you found out that I was asleep, you actually sent 20 experts to the Endless Divine Ruins?
What were you thinking?
It's fine if you were defeated, but the subsequent matters were even more messed up.
Where did all the things that I have taught you all these years go?
Did you forget how many crises my race has encountered all these years because the Rhinoceros Race has always been the overlord?
For the so-called great race's reputation, you nearly destroyed the foundation of my race. You are simply trash! "
The Chief Patriarch and Second Patriarch were extremely ashamed. They bowed deeply again and said, "We are guilty!"
The two experts were very bewildered.
Why had the Clan Leader been awake all this time and not passed down the royal decree?
He had watched them go down the wrong path step by step until they reached this stage today?
They also knew that many of the decisions were wrong, but wasn't it because the Clan Leader was asleep that they lost their composure and ended up in this state?
"Hmph!"
The Rhinoceros Clan Leader seemed to see through their thoughts. He snorted coldly and said, "I can only live for a few more years. You two good-for-nothings won't have a chance to break through in a short period of time. Therefore, I can only pretend to be weak and let those bastards who covet my race come out. Then, I will eliminate them all at once.
Only this way can I buy you a few hundred years. If you still can't break through in a few hundred years, then obediently give up your territory and hide in the ancestral land. "
"So that's how it is!"
Chief Patriarch and Second Patriarch looked at each other. They both understood that the Rhinoceros Clan Leader was deliberately letting the outside world think that he was dead. Then, those large races would jump out and attack. He would suddenly attack and kill those experts who jumped out, sweeping away all the large races that coveted the Rhinoceros Race, beating them up and crippling them.
Only this could create a huge deterrent force and bring the Rhinoceros Race a few hundred years of peace.
"Clan Leader …"
Chief Patriarch and Second Patriarch's eyes turned red. They also understood one thing – the Rhinoceros Clan Leader would burn all his spirit power in this battle. It would be like the final radiance of the setting sun before death.
After this battle, the Rhinoceros Clan Leader would die without a doubt. He would use up the remaining years of his lifespan as a price to increase his battle power in a short period of time. Otherwise, how could he win this battle?
"Alright, stop being so wishy-washy!"
The Rhinoceros Clan Leader suddenly stood up and said, "You two continue to hide information from me. Pay close attention to the other races.
I'm going out to meet that Grim Reaper from the Heavenly Chaotic Starfields. "
Third Patriarch
