"A new rising force?"

Shuofeng Lord's face suddenly turned serious.

A top giant like Jiuchong Mountain doesn't care much about the small forces born in its territory and allows them to develop.

But if a small force rises and its strength touches a certain limit, it will be different.

After all, it is your own territory and does not allow other too powerful forces to exist.

If a powerful and uncontrollable force is born in the area that you manage, even if you subdue or eliminate it afterwards, your evaluation with the sect will drop.

When the assistant saw Lord Shuo Feng's expression, he immediately realized that he was thinking wrongly, and quickly said: "It's just a small force, headed by seven eternal gods."

"Eternal God? Only seven?"

Lord Shuo Feng was stunned and said somewhat speechlessly: "What do these small forces say to me? Even if there is any problem, you can just handle it yourself."

The seven eternal gods, in one county, can be considered a relatively powerful force.

Even for some relatively weak counties, if the army is not included, the combat power of the county governor's mansion alone cannot reach the level of the Seven Eternal True Gods.

But for the high-altitude Jiuzhong Mountain, as long as they are not powerful at the level of chaos masters, or the eternal true gods who are extremely evil and evil, or there are dozens of forces united by the eternal true gods, they will not take it seriously.

Even if it means suppression, one must have reached a certain level of strength to be qualified to let Jiuchong Mountain take some notice.

The seven eternal true gods are really not qualified to let Lord Shuo Feng take action himself.

"These seven eternal gods are different."

The assistant shook his head and explained: "According to the information reported below, these seven eternal gods may be the soul slaves of a certain strong man."

"Soul slave?" Lord Shuo Feng immediately understood that there must be other beings behind these seven eternal true gods.

It may be the relatively powerful Eternal True God, or it may be a certain Chaos Master.

Of course, the worst possibility is that some other super force planted a 'nail' into the territory of Jiuchong Mountain.

After thinking for a while, Lord Shuo Feng asked: "Has the news been confirmed? What is the scope of their activities?"

The assistant kept saying: "In Luohe County, as for confirming the news...'Zero' has already set off to Luohe County to confirm."

"Luohe County... Tianjianmen and Donglin Kingdom shouldn't have the guts to attack Jiuchong Mountain. Is it related to the Food Kingdom?"

Lord Shuo Feng frowned and thought for a while, but could not draw any valuable conclusions.

After all, there is too little information, and even with the consciousness of the Chaos Master running at the speed, nothing can be determined.

However, this matter still attracted his attention, and he immediately ordered: "Inquire carefully. If you suspect that it is related to external forces, I authorize you to directly mobilize the army!"

As long as there is doubt, you can mobilize the army to destroy the opponent!

As for the possibility of misunderstanding, Lord Shuo Feng doesn't care at all.

In the territory of Jiuchong Mountain, as the chief official of Jiuchong Mountain, if he acts in a domineering and unreasonable manner, there is no problem at all.

In fact, conducting a simple investigation first, and then taking action if there are so-called "suspicious points" is already considered a quite gentle style.

Another Chaos Master who acted more aggressively might not even bother to investigate, and would simply eliminate the small force that appeared inexplicably.

…

Luohe Valley, human territory.

A figure walked out of the void, it was Xu Yan.

Xu Yan and Morosa were secretly attacking small forces in Yongjun. After receiving the message from the original ancestor, they immediately stopped the pace of expansion and quickly rushed back to the tribe.

After finding the original ancestor, Xu Yan got straight to the point and asked directly: "What happened? You said there was something big, what is the specific situation?"

"The identities of the seven Eternal True Gods we sent to Luohe County have been discovered!"

Yuanzu's tone was serious, and Xu Yan was shocked by what he said.

Just as he was about to ask, the original ancestor explained: "To be precise, the identities of their 'soul slaves' have been discovered. Jiuchongshan sent people to investigate, and these people are now in Jiuchongshan's hands."

"Caught by Jiuchongshan?"

Xu Yan frowned.

This is not good news.

If only the 'soul slave' matter was exposed, although it would be a bit surprising, it would not be unacceptable.

Soul slavery is indeed an unsolvable method in the cosmic sea. Even without actively exposing it, others cannot discover it at all.

In the past, when the human race had not unified the primitive universe, many peak races and forces fought against each other. There were many strong men who secretly enslaved the strong men of the opposing forces, and no one knew about it for a long time.

But in the Origin Continent, the level of laws is higher and there are more methods. It is not too surprising to find the existence of soul slavery.

In fact, when the seven eternal true gods were sent to Luohe County to establish their power, the original ancestors were prepared for their identities as 'soul slaves' to be discovered.

However, Jiuchongshan’s reaction to this...

It's too intense.

When they discovered there was a problem, they immediately arrested the person without saying a word, and then slowly investigated. This was something Xu Yan and others did not expect at all.

Soul slavery is indeed very powerful, but it may not be unsolvable.

Xu Yan has long speculated that if one has extremely high achievements in the soul and illusion, there is a high probability that soul slavery can be unlocked.

Even if it is impossible to do so, it is not impossible for a strong person with enough in-depth research on the 'Tao' to use illusions and other means to read memories.

A few soul slaves at the level of the Eternal True God are not something that Xu Yan, or even the human race, can afford to lose.

But if the information about the human race in their minds is mastered by Jiuchong Mountain, that would not be a good thing.

Although in the development plan formulated by the original ancestors, Giant Ax and others for the human race, there have long been emergency plans for various extreme situations, but no one wants to actually use it.

For example, before Xu Yan, Luo Feng, and Morosa had grown strong enough, they attracted the attention of a certain super force. This was not the worst situation expected, but it was also very detrimental to the future development of mankind.

If Jiuchong Mountain is aware of the existence of the 'World Beast King', if nothing else happens, it will inevitably force the human race, especially Luo Feng, who controls the World Beast King, to join Jiuchong Mountain.

As for rejection...the consequences are obviously not something that the human race can bear.

Binding a race to a super force may allow the human race to develop rapidly in the early stages, but in the later stages, when it is strong enough, it will be extremely difficult to break away and stand on its own.

Since superpowers like the Origin Continent dare to cultivate geniuses, they naturally have enough means to prevent geniuses from betraying them when they grow up.

In the previous operation to unify the Luohe Valley, the army of war beasts under Morosa also contributed greatly.

Those eternal true gods who have taken refuge in the human race naturally also know the information about the war beasts.

Of course, it is impossible for them to know the battle beast legion of the King of World Beasts, but once Jiuchongshan learns about some of the characteristics of the battle beasts, it will not be difficult to deduce the identity of Morosa.

After all, there is no doubt that the war beasts bred by the king of world beasts are powerful, but their characteristics are too distinct. As long as there is information on this aspect, they can be easily identified.

And a world beast king, even the oldest and most powerful force on the Origin Continent, will be greedy.

In order to gain the power of the World Beast King, Jiuchong Mountain will most likely choose to force Luo Feng to join. This is not the only possibility, but it is the most likely.

Even according to the judgments of Xu Yan, Yuan Zu and others, once Jiuchong Mountain confirms the existence of the 'King of Realm Beasts', the probability of making this decision is infinitely close to 100%.

As for why not just snatch the World Beast King... The God King of Jin, Sitting Mountain Guest, specifically mentioned to Luo Feng that in the Origin Continent, no matter whether a World Beast King has a master or not, others, even the most peak God King, will not.

Possibly seizing control of this king of realm beasts is simply not feasible.

If you really try to snatch it by force, it will only lead to the death of Morosa.

Therefore, as long as Jiuzhongshan wants to take advantage of the powerful power of the World Beast King, forcing Luo Feng to join and thereby achieving indirect control over Morosa becomes the only option.

"So... the worst case scenario is that Jiuchong Mountain has already learned about our information, and even knows about the existence of Morosa?" Xu Yan's mind was racing, thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

"I have sent people to find out more information, but it will take time to find out the information. We have to make a plan first."

The original ancestor raised his head, looked at Xu Yan, and said in a deep voice: "You are our strongest combat force. If the situation goes bad, you may need to risk a trip to Jiuchong Mountain."

Xu Yan had a guess in his mind and asked: "Quiet?"

The original ancestor nodded: "Yes, silence! The secret of the world beast king cannot be kept forever, but if it is exposed every night, it can gain a lot of development space for the tribe."

The original ancestor did not hide his thoughts at all.

It is not difficult to kill a few soul slaves to silence them and keep the secrets of the clan.

Unfortunately, the place where those soul slaves were captured was too far away from human territory, and they could not be silenced instantly through the connection of the soul contract.

If the distance is close enough, there is no need to take action. Just relying on the soul contract, one thought can wipe out the lives of several soul slaves.

But now, Jiuchongshan has shown the ability to detect "soul slavery". No one is sure whether it can go one step further and use the soul contract to perform reverse perception.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the human race to risk letting Giant Axe, Chaos City Lord and others sneak into Luohe County and silence them through soul contracts.

If the silence plan is to be implemented, only Xu Yan, the 'strongest combat power', is the safest option.

Of course, facing a super power like Jiuchong Mountain, even if Xu Yan takes action, it is still a very risky decision.

Although Jiuchong Mountain does not have a Chaos Master stationed in Luohe County, it is unlikely that a Chaos Master would be mobilized for such a 'trivial matter' as the information about the World Beast King has not been leaked.

But theories are always just theories. Facing a behemoth like Jiuchongshan, the unknown risks are simply too high.

If there are other options...

The original ancestor was silent for a moment and then said: "Perhaps we can choose a more prudent strategy and directly abandon the Luohe Valley and move to other places to seek development. The Origin Continent is so big, there is always room for ethnic groups."
To be continued...
