The two Lords of the Star-Eye Clan were puzzled as to why Huo Zhi would ask such a question, but they knew that their answer could affect the other's decision… or even the fate of the Star-Eye Clan.
“Of course, they are the hope of the Star-Eye Clan. Without them, the Star-Eye Clan has no future,” Lord Yan said in a low but firm voice.
Huo Zhi nodded and slowly said, “Jie Su is the same. He is recognized by everyone in our clan as the successor, the hope for the revival of the Su Clan.”
“Since that's the case, we need to take action,” Huo Zhi's voice suddenly dropped a bit, then regained its volume as he continued, “If, and I mean if…”
“If they have already failed, the situation has been exposed, and they are dead, then both the Su Clan and you should be prepared for punishment from the Hall People. The Su Clan will not abandon you; we will form a coalition to deal with this together. Whether it’s compensation or someone stepping up to take responsibility, we’ll accept it. At that time, I, along with the two of you, must be prepared to sacrifice our lives for this.”
“But that is the worst outcome. At least, our race will be safe.”
Upon hearing this, the two Lords of the Star-Eye Clan initially felt panic and fear, but then they calmed down.
If the situation were exposed, and if their lives could be exchanged for the survival of the Star-Eye Clan, then it would be worth it.
This is the price!
Nothing comes without risk along with the rewards.
“And if things fail, if the situation is exposed, but the three of them are still alive…” As Huo Zhi said this, the two Lords of the Star-Eye Clan felt his aura shift dramatically.
“Then we absolutely cannot let them die. Absolutely not!”
The two Lords of the Star-Eye Clan nodded along with Huo Zhi, their gazes gradually firming up.
Indeed, if the three children were still alive, then there was no need to consider whether the situation had been exposed or what punishments awaited them; rescuing them was the top priority.
“No matter what method we use, the Hall People won’t allow a few children to return alive, so any peaceful method is useless. In that case, there is actually a way that can resolve everything at once.”
Huo Zhi no longer looked at the two clan leaders but turned to gaze beyond the desolate land.
“We… together… will eliminate all the Hall People here!”
Many small race members who were watching from afar noticed the three standing there looking off into the distance, envious of them. They must be discussing many things that were beyond their reach, a conversation that would determine many lives.
What they didn’t know was that the three were discussing an incredibly crazy plan.
They wanted to eliminate the hundreds of thousands of Hall People present, and among those hundreds of thousands, there were several high-level experts and… one peak expert.
It was a full hour before the three concluded their discussion. Huo Zhi walked out while saying to the two clan leaders who were seeing him off, “I will confirm the situation as soon as possible; you two prepare here for now.”
When it was time to part ways, Huo Zhi suddenly sighed, “There’s no reason those kids can go crazy while we cannot.”
…
Transformed Ye Zhongming was an existence close to a great expert. His roar had a strong mental shockwave, and his power multiplied after transformation, significantly expanding his attack range. With every punch, several parasites were killed, and with every kick, he could send a group of parasites flying.
Pao Bai, Jie Su, and the white dragon horse felt much less pressure under Ye Zhongming's protection, compared to the earlier trials; it was a significant relief.
Thanks to fuleira's progress and the perfect condition of her body, Ye Zhongming's transformation lasted a long time. By the time he exited the transformed state, there were not many parasites left, and the three people and one dragon quickly dealt with them all.
As they were leaving, Ye Zhongming glanced around at the environment before being teleported back into the mountain belly.
