Night completely enveloped Shouyang Mountain, and the light of the bonfire flickered in the darkness. Hu Shu looked at the lively but worried crowd, knowing in his heart that the war was coming. He turned to Fu Xi He said to Tongtian Cult Master, "Tomorrow morning, we will discuss the countermeasures in detail. We must not sit still and wait for death." The two nodded with firm eyes. At this time, a gust of night wind blew by, bringing with it a hint of coolness, as if it also foreshadowed the upcoming crisis.
In the early morning of the next day, the golden sunshine fell on Shouyang Mountain, casting a warm glow on the land. However, Shouyang Mountain made a temporary decision on Human Race The atmosphere in the meeting hall was particularly solemn. Hu Shu, Fu Xi, Tongtian Cult Master and others gathered here early, with serious expressions on everyone's faces.
Just as everyone was about to start discussing countermeasures, suddenly, a figure appeared in the center of the meeting hall without warning. The man was dressed in black robes, his face was hidden in the shadows, and only a pair of sharp eyes were exposed. Hu Shu and Fu Xi were instantly alert, with aura surging around their bodies, ready to respond to possible attacks. Tongtian Cult Master also frowned slightly, locking his eyes tightly with this uninvited guest.
"It's you!" Hu Shu quickly recognized that this person was the mysterious visitor who had previously brought news of the Chan Sect's conspiracy.
The mysterious visitor had a serious look on his face, without any pleasantries, and said directly, "Hu Shu, Fu Xi, I came here this time to bring extremely important news."
Hu Shu felt nervous and asked quickly, "What's the matter? But it doesn't matter."
The mysterious visitor paused slightly, looked around, and said slowly, "Fu Xi's Dao Attainment succeeded and broke the rules, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Old Ancestor Hongjun. As the supreme being of Primordial World and the spokesperson of Heavenly Dao, Old Ancestor Hongjun maintains the established order of the world. Your actions have touched his bottom line, and he is likely to take follow-up actions."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. Old Ancestor Hongjun's strength is unfathomable. If he really intervenes, Human Race will face an unprecedented crisis.
Fu Xi frowned and asked, "According to what you said, how might Old Ancestor Hongjun act?"
The mysterious visitor shook his head and said, "Old Ancestor Hongjun's behavior has always been mysterious and difficult to predict. But what is certain is that he will not sit back and watch Human Race develop like this. In addition, some forces hidden in the dark have seen the rise of Human Race, are also starting to make moves in an attempt to harm Human Race. These forces may have colluded with the Chan Sect and Western Sect, or they may have their own interests in mind. In short, Human Race's situation is becoming increasingly difficult."
Hu Shu clenched his fists, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. "No matter who wants to hinder the development of Human Race, we will not compromise easily. But at present, we know very little about these dark forces, and we need to consider the long term."
Tongtian Cult Master snorted coldly and said, "What are you afraid of what he will do! I, Interception Sect, will definitely fight side by side with you Human Race to fight against the powerful enemy."
Hu Shu glanced at Tongtian Cult Master gratefully and said, "Thank you Sect Master for your help. However, we cannot act blindly. The most urgent task now is to first find out the details of these forces and then formulate a response strategy."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this time, a Human Race spy hurriedly ran into the exhibition hall, knelt down on one knee, and reported, "Sir, we found some Chan Sect Disciple frequently moving around the Human Race territory, acting suspiciously. In addition, Western Sect also made strange movements, and seemed to be gathering strength."
Hu Shu looked solemn, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "It seems that Chan Sect and Western Sect have already begun to take action. They probably want to catch us off guard while our footing is not stable."
Fu Xi analyzed. "Master, I think we can send more spies first, pay close attention to their movements, and at the same time strengthen Human Race's internal defense and increase vigilance."
Tongtian Cult Master also said, "Yes, in addition, I, Interception Sect, can send some disciples to assist Human Race in strengthening the defense."
However, there were different opinions within Human Race on how to respond. A Human Race wise man stood up and said, "Our Human Race is currently weak. If we collide with these powerful forces head-on, it may be difficult to win. It is better to show weakness first, accumulate strength secretly, and wait for the time to mature before counterattacking."
Someone immediately retorted, "Showing weakness will only make them more arrogant and think that we are easy to bully. We should take the initiative and let them know that we Human Race are not soft persimmons who can be manipulated by others."
For a time, arguments broke out in the conference hall, with everyone insisting on their own opinions and refusing to give in to each other.
Hu Shu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet and said, "Everyone's ideas are reasonable. But we must avoid blind impulse and not retreat blindly. I think we can use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, strengthen defense and make full preparations to deal with possible attacks; on the other hand, take the initiative to explore more intelligence and grasp their plans. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."
After listening to it, everyone felt that Hu Shu's proposal was more secure, and they all agreed.
Therefore, Hu Shu made a decision and decided to take the initiative to search for more information. He selected a group of smart and capable Human Race spies and Jie Sect Disciple, and asked them to dress up in disguise, mix with various forces, and collect intelligence. At the same time, he arranged for Human Race to strengthen the construction of fortifications and organized Human Race practitioners to conduct actual combat exercises to improve their combat capabilities.
As time went by, a tense atmosphere filled Shouyang Mountain. Everyone knew that Human Race was facing a huge crisis, but they did not back down, but actively prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.
Hu Shu stood on Shouyang Mountain, looking at the busy crowd, praying silently in his heart. He knew very well that Future of the Human Race was in their hands, and this battle could only be won, not defeated. However, facing Old Ancestor Hongjun How should Human Race respond to's dissatisfaction and the covetousness of the secret forces? Why does this mysterious visitor keep paying attention to Human Race? Everything is still unknown, like a thick layer of fog shrouding the sky over Shouyang Mountain.
