314: Demonic Beast Conference

Long Yuan's Divine Sense quickly locked onto twelve positions ahead. Sentries were stationed at each of those positions; if they noticed any disturbance, news would likely reach the mine inside the mountain very quickly.

With Long Yuan's movement technique, they wouldn't notice him even if he passed right by them. However, considering that the large force behind him would trigger a major battle if discovered, Long Yuan still acted swiftly. At every sentry post he passed, he used Soul Needles to kill them and took them into his Devouring Maw. The entire process was extremely smooth and didn't attract any attention.

These sentries never dreamed that disaster would fall from the sky. They died before they could even see who the enemy was!

After dealing with these sentries and traversing another stretch of mountain path, he arrived at the entrance of the mine. There were two Evil Cultists guarding the entrance as well. Long Yuan charged straight in without a moment's pause. The two men stared at him with wide eyes, their bodies slumping down before being pulled into the Devouring Maw by the power of Divine Sense... The path inside the mine was winding, deep, and dark, but unguarded. Long Yuan's figure advanced rapidly like a ghost, and after a while, he had reached deep into the core of the mine... Suddenly, Long Yuan stopped and hid behind a large rock. His Divine Sense had already penetrated the heart of the mine, where a large number of Evil Cultists and members of the Beast Race were gathered. They were holding a meeting, and Feng Guang was among them!

However, the meeting location was still some distance away. The reason Long Yuan paused his advance was that they were sending out three Martial Ancestors—two men and one woman—with the mission of infiltrating South Yue City to scout the situation.

The three walked through the cave very casually, chatting as they went, completely unaware of any anomaly until they reached a slightly wider cavern, where a Soul Net descended from above and instantly restrained them!

The three were shocked beyond measure. They tried to struggle but were powerless to break free. When they saw that the person who had captured them was a young man, their eyes filled with confusion. *Please, you're an old monster yet you're pretending to be a youth; how can you be so thick-skinned?* Suddenly, they felt a slight sting in their heads and then blacked out... After Long Yuan performed a Soul Search on them, he had a clear understanding of the salt mine's topography, internal personnel, and material storage. The mine was divided into one large and two small caves. This main path led to the main cave, with a small path on either side leading to the two branch caves. Currently, those Evil Generals and Beast Generals were meeting in the main cave, while the two branch caves stored a large amount of war supplies. Most of the other Evil Cultists and Beast Race members were training in the back mountain area.

To his surprise, Feng Guang had actually brought three mecha-men and several Solo Flight Devices. These were likely his core combat strength. It seemed he was extremely cautious in coming here for help; after all, dealing with the Beast Race, no one knew if they would develop ulterior motives against him... Long Yuan was in no hurry. He listened to the discussion in the main cave while sneaking toward one of the branch caves... At this time, the Evil Cultists and Beast Race high-level officials in the main cave were having a heated discussion. However, the focus wasn't on how to capture South Yue City, but how to divide the city's wealth after the invasion. Everyone wanted to be the first to attack the Prince Fus Mansion, but the others certainly wouldn't agree, so the dispute was quite intense.

The representative sent by Blood Wolf Hall argued forcefully, "Our hall has long since stationed General Feng near the Prince Fus Mansion for surveillance. This mission has been ongoing for decades. One could say the Prince Fus Mansion is already in our Blood Wolf Hall's pocket. Even without you, we could capture it on our own. However, since this is a three-party cooperation, we are willing to share some benefits with you. Don't push your luck!"

The representative of Ba Jue Hall said, "If you were truly certain, wouldn't you have taken it already? Why wait until now? Let me tell you, our hall currently has five mecha-men experts hidden in South Yue City. With their strength, they can easily take down the Prince Fus Mansion without us even lifting a finger!"

"What? You have five mecha-men in South Yue City?" The Blood Wolf Hall representative and Feng Guang both paled upon hearing this.

"Haha, they just sent me a message not long ago; they're not far from the Prince Fus Mansion!" the Ba Jue Hall representative said proudly.

Feng Guang snorted, "You think you can take down the Prince Fus Mansion with just those five mecha-men?"

The Ba Jue Hall representative asked in surprise, "Why not? Everyone knows the Prince Fus Mansion's strength is pathetic. Even a single mecha pilot could take it, let alone five?"

"You're wrong!" Feng Guang said.

"Oh? Where am I wrong?"

Feng Guang said, "Everyone sitting here knows the information you have, yet why has no one acted until now?"

"This... why is that?" The Ba Jue Hall representative was a bit confused.

"Hmph, because the moment you act, someone will surely stop you! There are at least fifty forces, if not a hundred, keeping an eye on the Prince Fus Mansion. Even if each individual force is weaker than yours, they will certainly be stronger if they unite. So, if you act, you won't just be facing the Prince Fus Mansion alone, but at least fifty major powers! Unless you have absolute strength to suppress them, there is only one outcome: defeat and ruin!" Feng Guang said coldly.

"Heavens... this is bad!!!" The Ba Jue Hall representative's face changed drastically. He hurriedly picked up his phone and started dialing... However, the call wouldn't go through. He then sent messages, but there was still no response. This caused the Ba Jue Hall representative to panic. Could it be as Feng Guang said, that they were being besieged by a group of major forces?!

"Hahahaha..." Seeing the Ba Jue Hall representative's pathetic state, everyone present laughed heartily. The Beast Generals in particular laughed wantonly; they had long been annoyed by this Ba Jue Hall representative.

Since Ba Jue Hall's influence was mainly distributed in War Bear Country and the northern regions of Great Ming, while most of the cultists and Beast Generals present were from the southern regions of Great Ming, the assembly was naturally divided into northern and southern factions. The southern faction was significantly stronger than the northern one, so the Ba Jue Hall representative's arrogance naturally didn't sit well with others.

At this time, the representative of the Beast Generals, a tall man with a head full of long hair, said in a muffled voice, "The main force of this Beast Tide is our Beast Race. Most of those who die will be our low-level Beast Soldiers. Therefore, we must take a larger share to compensate for our losses!"

"This..." The people from Blood Wolf Hall and Ba Jue Hall couldn't help but fall silent. What this Beast General said was true. Once a Beast Tide was launched, it actually involved using a large number of low-level Beast Soldiers to charge and take the brunt, consuming a vast amount of the enemy's effective strength. If the Beast Race wasn't compensated, it's likely this Beast Tide wouldn't even be launched, let alone dividing the Prince Fus Mansion.

The Blood Wolf Hall representative thought for a moment and said, "Fine! We'll give you an extra ten percent!"
