Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 619: Gather the People Together

The War Spirit Hall Master took a deep breath and solemnly said, "Great Hall Master, let us declare war!"

The other Hall Masters shouted in unison, "Yes, declare war, these conditions must not be accepted!"

"We must make the Black Profound Race pay a bloody price!"

"Fight to the death, when have we, the White Profound Race, ever feared them?"

"Please give the order, Great Hall Master!"

Everyone knew such conditions could not be agreed to.

If we were to hand over those things, the White Profound Race would truly fall into an abyss of no return.

Yet the Great Hall Master hesitated to make a decision.

A glimmer of regret flickered in her eyes, "If we declare war now, Sage Jiang will certainly be executed."

The other Hall Masters clenched their fists tightly, and a prolonged silence filled the cave.

After a long time, the Master of the Hall of Light slowly spoke, "But if we agree to those conditions, our race will decline and might even be devoured by the other Three Races..."

"Moreover, even if we agree, it doesn't guarantee Sage Jiang's return."

"I know."

The Great Hall Master gazed blankly at the cave's entrance, revealing none of her inner thoughts.

The War Spirit Hall Master moved to her side, sighing deeply, "When it's time to give up, we must give up."

"This is his fate, and also the fate of our White Profound Race."

"It is fated by the heavens that our race cannot possess him."

"Yes..."

The Thunder Spirit Hall Master slowly closed his eyes, a look of painful regret on his face, "Perhaps the heavens also believe that such a peerless genius, capable of upsetting the balance, should not exist and decided to take him early."

The other Hall Masters silently bowed their heads.

At this point, it seemed the only choice was to abandon Jiang Cheng.

However, the Great Hall Master calmly declared, "I will not abandon the rescue of the Great Sage."

The other Hall Masters were anxious.

"But those conditions will destroy our race..."

"We cannot agree!"

Several Hall Masters even knelt before her, hoping she would reconsider.

"Please think again, Great Hall Master!"

"Please think again!"

"Where have your thoughts gone?"

The Great Hall Master seemed to have realized something, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"After all, I am the Master of the Divine Hall, how could I foolishly agree to those conditions?"

The other Hall Masters were puzzled, "Then what do you plan?"

"I just decided to pretend to agree for now, to stabilize the Black Profound Race."

"And then?"

The Great Hall Master said calmly, "Then I will go alone to the Black Profound Race Divine Hall and find a way to rescue the child."

"What!"

"You mustn't, Great Hall Master!"

"The Black Profound Race Divine Hall has countless methods to counter us, the White Profound Race. Entering there would lead to an ambush!"

"Yes, it's almost certain death, do not act impulsively!"

The Great Hall Master slowly walked out of the cave, looking at the sky as clear as a washed-out blue, saying softly, "He is our race's greatest hope, how can I do nothing and watch him perish?"

The War Spirit Hall Master following her shouted, "In that case, let's go fight together!"

"Yes, then let's fight together!"

The Great Hall Master shook her head, "No."

"A large-scale operation will alert the Black Profound Race, and they will execute him in advance."

She had officially made her decision.

"I will go alone, and while I'm gone..."

She turned to look at the Master of the Hall of Light beside her.

"The Master of the Hall of Light will temporarily act as the Great Hall Master, overseeing all matters of the Divine Hall."

"If I do not return..."

She paused, finally saying, "You must assist him wholeheartedly in the future."

These were final instructions.

The other Hall Masters' eyes reddened, filled with tears.

"Great Hall Master!"

"You mustn't, Great Hall Master!"

"You don't need to do this..."

The Great Hall Master had already flown into the air.

Looking down at the kneeling Hall Masters below, a resolute aura spread from her.

"As long as he returns alive, it would be worth it even if I truly perish."

With that, she flew straight in the direction of the Black Profound Race, quickly disappearing from their sight.

As the Great Hall Master acted, Li Hanyu had already entered deep into the territory of the Black Profound Race ahead of her.

She did not actually know that Brother Cheng was captured by the Black Profound Race.

But from the start, the direction she chose was the Black Profound Race.

The reason was simple: they were the greatest enemy of the White Profound Race, the biggest suspect.

And upon nearing the area, the news from the Black Profound Race finally reached them, confirming Jiang Cheng had indeed been captured there.

Thus, she hesitated no longer.

Gazing at the towering spire of the Black Profound Race Divine Hall in the distance, she tightened her grip on her sword, a fierce gleam flashing in her deep, pool-like eyes.

"Until the mission is over, you must stay in the palm of my hand."

With those words, she blended into the massive city ahead.

Entering the Black Profound Race Divine Hall range would trigger a reaction.

Li Hanyu did not choose to force her way in, opting instead for stealth.

At least initially, she needed to get as close to the Divine Hall as possible, and the rest would depend on her skills.

While she busied herself, Brother Cheng had already been brought to the highest point of the Black Profound Race Divine Hall.

This brother was contemplating his next move.

He could now use the Sixth Layer Profound Pattern to unleash combat power at the Quasi-Emperor Level, but it was still somewhat lacking compared to his peak power in the Immortal Realm.

There, with his 49 Rule Brands and the mutant version of his Immortal Soul, he could send the Divine Hall and the vast surrounding area up in flames.

But now, he had to consider how to ensure no one escaped.

"The White Profound Race surely won't agree to our conditions, right?"

"Indeed, unless they've gone mad."

On the Black Profound Race side, the Hall Masters were naturally elated.

The Black Profound Hall Master sneered coldly, "I never expected them to agree. The reason for this condition was to use this kid as bait."

The other Hall Masters below thought for a moment and then suddenly understood.

"Intentionally leading the White Profound Race experts to rescue, only to trap them?"

"It's a chain trick!"

"Haha, what a brilliant plan!"

"As long as we have the Purple Gold's Profound Pattern, the White Profound Race is bound to take the bait!"

"This can be a long-term strategy to weaken them."

"I wonder who'll take the bait first."

"Could it be Bai Luozhen herself!"

Bai Luozhen was the real name of the Great Hall Master of the White Profound Race.

The Black Profound Hall Master laughed heartily, "I do hope it's her. If we capture her, the White Profound Race would truly collapse!"

Imagining the scene of stepping on a lifelong enemy overwhelmed him.

"By the way, what does the Purple Gold's Profound Pattern look like? We haven't seen it yet."

"Have this kid show us!"

Although their main target was Brother Cheng, with all plans revolving around him as the "bait," they only remembered his presence at this moment.

After all, to them, Brother Cheng was just a "treasure."

This dismissive attitude was no different from the Earth Ruins Pavilion. In their view, someone at the Extreme Profound Realm was indeed not considered a person.

"You want to see the Profound Pattern? Sure, gather all the Disciples," Brother Cheng made a request.
