Chapter 1179: Plotting Together (II)
Would it not be the same to you ancients if you kill the Saints of my desolate beasts, overturn Barren, and force the second awakening to take place? The horse desolate beast brooded. In your eyes, it would be even better if you killed Li Hao and toppled Barren at the same time!
Having maintained a footing in the world for many years, desolate beasts were well aware of the ancient traitors’ agenda. It was to negotiate with a tiger for its skin to partner with these people.
But if the desolate beasts did not cooperate...
Although there were multiple Saints among the desolate beasts, they might not easily defeat Li Hao even with the continued expansion of the chaos domain. The young man’s side was so strong that the desolate beasts might incur significant losses and still not win. This was what the Saint level beasts were most concerned about.
“We... have seen no sign of Li Hao over the past few days,” raised the desolate beast.
“He may be in closed door cultivation, or he may be plotting something. Perhaps he’s already entered Barren territory!”
“Impossible!” The horse desolate beast shook its head. “All Barren descendants bear the presence of desolate beasts and the chaos. We immediately detect the intrusion of outsiders such as you. We will know at first light if Li Hao is present in our territory!”
The Black Armor nodded. The desolate beasts did indeed possess keen senses. Otherwise, it would not be just him here to liaise with the desolate beasts. Galewind would have sent many more. The desolate beasts had reacted swiftly upon encountering him and instantly severed the connection between the ancient city and chaos domain.
The ancient city could shift its location, but there was no use in moving if the other retracted chaos from the vicinity of wherever they relocated to. It would place them in Barren’s encirclement instead and prevent them from being able to leave the city. That would be the greatest trouble of all.
The desolate beasts were in command of Barren territory. They had let him in because just one Saint was not a threat to their rule. There were many Saints among the desolate beasts—six, and those were only the ones that the ancient counted.
Were there more?
