Chapter 923: Cunning Foreign Tribes

As King Cicada and Qin Wushuang returned to the God Discarding Maze, their mood was completely different from when they first entered.

Last time when they came in, they carried hope and a vision for the future. This time, a dark depression surrounded their hearts.

They definitely must not allow these divine souls to completely refine their new corporeal bodies. If they did, these divine souls and host bodies would become terrifying existences.

Qin Wushuang and King Cicada were fully aware of this fact.

According to their speculation, certainly the first group of divine souls that escaped must be the most powerful. Or else, they would not have seized the upper hand.

For the second group, those divine souls that could not have escaped out of the God Discarding Maze were relatively weaker. Without a question, some of them would certainly be at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage.

The only good news was that since the divine souls at the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage were sealed away, they would certainly be weaker for now. Without a corporeal body, their combat power would be greatly reduced.

When they regrouped with the other four paramount totem elite warriors, Golden Ray Dragon King asked, "Have the others left safely?"

"They have." King Cicada nodded. "How are things on your end?"

"I killed five divine souls. However, I don't know how many in total have escaped. It's not easy at all. Especially for those divine souls with a corporeal body, we must find them first. They'll be able to cause endless trouble. If they find the cave dwellings left by the gods and get the chance to enter the Soaring Galaxia Tower, that will be the worst case scenario."

They must guard this problem. Qin Wushuang nodded. "Someone must guard the Soaring Galaxia Tower."

Strangely, everyone looked over at Golden Ray Dragon King unanimously.

Certainly, Golden Ray Dragon King was the most suitable figure for defense. Since his golden light divine skill contained great coverage, he was the most suitable person for this responsibility.

Golden Ray Dragon King did not act pretentiously. "Everyone, I will go. I'll let you take care of this side."

He did not speak a word of rubbish. Golden Ray Dragon King transformed into a golden light and dashed towards the direction of the Twelfth Maze.

It was especially important to guard the Soaring Galaxia Tower to prevent these divine souls from approaching the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier. It would be the most fatal if these divine souls attacked the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier to shatter it.

Apparently, Qin Wushuang already thought about this point. "Everyone, we must hurry up. Once these divine souls learn the location of the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier, they will flock over. If the barrier is destroyed, that will be great trouble for us."

His words woke them from their dreamy state. The expression of the other four totem elite warriors changed slightly as all of them nodded.

"Everyone, I suggest we will start from the Twelfth Maze and conduct a thorough search. With coverage from the five of our divine souls, we can achieve a flawless search. Perhaps, those divine souls may be more powerful than us, yet they have just escaped from the seal. Without a few months of recovery time, it'd be difficult for them to achieve anything. To completely refine the corporeal body to reach the stage as powerful as their divine soul, it will take a few hundred years. Therefore, there is no need to be overly pessimistic."

This was a suggestion issued by Jiang Ming of the Agriculture God Clan.

Xuan Yuan Yang strongly agreed, "Daoist Jiang Ming is right. We can start from the Twelfth Maze and push them away from the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier."

At this crucial moment, these paramount totem elite warriors were not stupid. All of them understood the priority of matters. At this moment any internal strife, disputes, or misunderstanding were no longer important.

There was only one thing of importance; in order to survive, they must kill all foreign tribe enemies!

King Cicada and Kong Mingzi looked at Qin Wushuang as they wanted to know what good ideas Qin Wushuang had.

After a moment of thinking, Qin Wushuang said, "I think this is a reasonable suggestion. However, during the search, we must not go for speed, we must be meticulous and cannot let any fish escape. Each extra fish on the loose will be another threat to the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier."

Everyone nodded. At this moment, they were well aware that it was their priority to maintain the safety of the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier. It will be the foundation for the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier to remain safe. If anything happened to the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier, all their efforts would be wasted and turned meaningless.

In their current state, they would not have any chance of victory if they fought the foreign tribes head on. They would only face total race extinction!

Now the only problem was just how many divine souls escaped in the second group and the strength of these divine souls.

If they could not get to know these details, it could bring countless troubles to their movements.

Indeed, this net search was effective. In half a day, as the five of them spread across the Twelfth Maze, they found and killed two divine souls.

However, these two divine souls were at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. They did not form any threat to any of them.

Clearly, these divine souls were connected to each other. As soon as this search started, the other divine souls were astonished. They clearly saw their intentions and scattered in response. Their goal was explicit, to scatter their net search and strike them down one after another.

Without a question, there were more divine souls that escaped in this second group. Yet in terms of power, they were indeed weaker than the first group.

These divine souls were old monsters from tens and thousands of years ago. Each of them were cunning characters. Once they observed Qin Wushuang's tactic, they would immediately carry out the execution.

They sent out six or seven divine souls who specialized in escaping and hiding, all at the First Calamity of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. They started to play hide and seek with Qin Wushuang within the Twelfth Maze.

Instantly, this tactic delayed Qin Wushuang.

The five of them had powerful divine souls to cover the entire maze. However, it was a completely different story to kill the enemy.

Under this situation, once the five of them were scattered, any advantage they had disappeared. On the contrary, the enemy would overpower them in numbers.

If the five of them stayed banded together, it'd be possible the other divine souls would discover the place where the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier was located. Then, it would form a threat to Golden Ray Dragon King.

Golden Ray Dragon King was the only defense for the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier. If he were attacked, there would be the danger that the enemy might attack the barrier at any moment.

This form of threat was definitely fatal.

...

At a hidden place inside the Ninth Maze, close to twenty divine souls gathered together.

"Is everyone here?" one of the powerful divine souls asked with a high and lofty voice. This person occupied the corporeal body of a totem elite warrior of the Fire God Clan. He already seized the body by killing the divine soul of the native elite warrior.

This corporeal body was at the Sixth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage and also the most powerful one among the bodies they seized. Apparently, this divine soul was also the strongest elite warrior among these divine souls. He was at the Third Calamity of the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. Among these divine souls, he was unquestionably a leader. His name was Ni Ao.

Although Ni Ao had yet to refine this corporeal body, it was better to have a body than not. In between every one of his gestures, he showcased an imperial manner.

Next to his side, there were six divine souls that also seized corporeal bodies. One of them was the body of the Nine Change Celestial White Tiger.

The other five were elite warriors from different places. Each of them were at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage.

Clearly, these seven people were the most exceptional of the divine souls. The other six were at the Sixth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage and followed Ni Ao as their leader.

"Sir Ni Ao, in total thirty two people escaped in our group. In the previous group, twenty-three elite warriors escaped! They are being led by Sir Ni Long. A total of fifty-five people, not a single one left got out. However, for our group, eight of our brothers have already been killed. Besides the six on the mission, the other eighteen people are all here."

"Yes!" Sir Ni Ao was high-spirited and swept across everyone's eyes coldly. "I already observed the exterior, now someone is already guarding the cave entrance. If we charge out, we will suffer heavy casualties. The two guardians at the entrance are more troublesome than the ones in here. Therefore, we must refine our corporeal bodies and reach the highest standard to lead our brothers out. We will be free when we get out of here. By that time, this Tian Xuan Land will be our world!"

Since these elite warriors had been sealed for tens and thousands of years, they were craving for freedom to a mad extent. When they heard these words, each of their eyes revealed a fanatic expression.

"Sir Ni Ao." One of the subordinates next to him moved his lips and seemed to be wanting to say something.

"Ni Meng, what do you want to say?"

Ni Meng was also one of the elite warriors with a body. He said carefully, "Sir Ni Ao, since Sir Ni Long escaped, certainly they will come for us. I think we are not in a rush to go out. This God Discarding Maze is a secret den of the Tian Xuan Land, isn't it connected to that Soaring of Galaxia Barrier? I think if we can find the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier, that will be a great contribution. In the future when we return to the Weathering Land, the two Master Gods will certainly bestow us with Heavenly Supreme Dao bodies!"

His words reminded Sir Ni Ao. With flickering eyes, he nodded lightly because he was thinking about this problem.

"Ni Meng, this makes sense. I was wondering why those guys were so strange to start their search with the Twelfth Maze. It seems that the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier is certainly somewhere in the Twelfth Maze." Ni Ao was not a person without a brain. On the contrary, his sophisticated mind made him an exceptional leader.

As soon as he considered the general outlook, he figured something out.

Ni Meng nodded. "Yes, since they are this nervous, surely they are worried about the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier. Or else they could just seal the God Discarding Door and save their trouble by sealing us inside."

The other foreign tribe divine souls agreed. Clearly, they acknowledged the analysis of Ni Meng.

Ni Meng had an indefinite expression. Clearly, he was thinking. Ni Meng did not make a sound, he knew his leader was thinking about strategy.

Although they knew the Soaring of Galaxia Barrier was here, most of them were just divine souls that had yet to recover half of their normal combat strength. It would definitely not be a smart choice to confront those elite warriors head on.
