On Shouyang Mountain, Hu Shu looked into the distance, his heart full of worries. The spies had not returned yet, and every minute and every second was full of suffering. He knew very well that Human Race's Destiny was hanging on the On the front line, any decision may affect the overall situation. Fu Xi beside him also looked solemn. The two waited quietly, as if they could hear each other's heavy heartbeats, wondering what kind of news would be coming.
Finally, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the silence. A spy hurried over, knelt on one knee, and said breathlessly, "Sir, it's not good! The news from all sides is extremely complicated, and the situation is getting more serious."
Hu Shu felt nervous and asked quickly, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The spy raised his head, his face full of anxiety. "Chan Sect seems to be secretly colluding with some Mysterious Faction. The aura of those forces is ancient and strange, and they are suspected to be the remnants of Ancient Demon Race. At the same time, Western Sect is also making big moves. They have gathered many experts and seem to be planning a big operation against Human Race."
Fu Xi frowned and murmured, "Ancient Demon Race remnants? They are actually trying to cause trouble at this time."
Hu Shu took a deep breath and said, "It seems that our previous worries are not unnecessary. The crisis Human Race is facing is far beyond imagination."
At that moment, Hu Shu and Fu Xi no longer hesitated, and immediately summoned the core members of Human Race and Interception Sect to gather in the meeting hall on Shouyang Mountain. Everyone filed in, and the originally spacious meeting hall was instantly filled. Everyone had a solemn look on their face, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
Hu Shu stood in the hall, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone must have heard that Human Race is facing an unprecedented crisis now. Old Ancestor Hongjun's attitude is unclear, and there are many forces coveting it in the dark. We must discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible."
A Human Race elder stood up and said worriedly, "The situation is so complicated now. If Old Ancestor Hongjun takes action, we may not be able to resist it. In my opinion, should we show weakness for the time being and avoid a head-on conflict with all forces?"
As soon as this statement came out, someone immediately retorted, "Showing weakness? Showing weakness will only make them more unscrupulous. We Human Race have finally developed to where we are now, how can we retreat so easily?"
A core disciple of the Interception Sect also said, "Yes, I, Interception Sect, have never been afraid of challenges. Since they are trying to harm Human Race, we will fight them!"
For a time, arguments broke out in the conference hall, with everyone holding their own opinions.
Hu Shu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Everyone, please be patient. We must avoid blind impulse, but we must not retreat blindly. Now Old Ancestor Hongjun's attitude is unclear, and the secret forces are hidden in the shadows. If we act rashly, we are likely to fall into Place of Eternal Damnation. But if we just show weakness, it is by no means a long-term solution."
Fu Xi nodded and said, "What master said is absolutely true. We currently don't know much about the specific plans of all parties. The top priority is to strengthen intelligence collection and pay close attention to the movements of all parties. At the same time, we must also seize the time to improve our own strength and be fully prepared to deal with crises that may come at any time."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
After a heated discussion, everyone gradually reached a consensus. It was decided that on the one hand, more spies would be sent to go deep into the various forces to collect detailed intelligence; on the other hand, Human Race and Interception Sect would strengthen cooperation and practice together to improve their overall strength. The practitioners of Human Race will learn more advanced exercises and combat skills under the guidance of master Interception Sect.
In the following days, there was a busy scene on Shouyang Mountain. The cultivators of Human Race practiced hard day and night, and their clothes were soaked with sweat, but their eyes were full of determination. The disciples of the Interception Sect also taught each other, and shared their cultivation experience with Human Race without reservation.
Hu Shu and Fu Xi set an example, practicing in seclusion every day, striving to break through their own limits. Hu Shu circulated the spiritual energy in his body, feeling the weak fluctuations from Invincible Domain System, and secretly swore in his heart that he must use the power of the system to lead Human Race through this crisis.
However, as time passes, the intelligence returned by the spies becomes more and more worrying. The remaining collusion between the Chan Sect and Ancient Demon Race is getting closer, and they seem to be planning a huge conspiracy. The assembly of the Western Sect has also been completed, and their target is directed at Human Race.
At another council meeting, Hu Shu said solemnly, "Now the situation is clear and all forces are ready. We Human Race must make a decision as soon as possible."
A Human Race wise man stood up and said, "Judging from the current intelligence, Chan Sect and Western Sect are likely to join forces to launch a surprise attack on us. If we fight head-on, we have little chance of winning. But we can use our tricks to deliberately expose flaws, lure them to the bait, and then give them a fatal blow."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell into deep thought again. Some people thought that this plan was too risky, and once discovered, Human Race would be in desperate situation; but others thought that this might be the only chance.
Hu Shu thought for a long time and said slowly, "Although this plan is risky, it is worth a try. But we must be fully prepared to ensure nothing goes wrong."
Fu Xi also nodded and said, "Yes, we can set up the trap first and strengthen the defense at the same time, just in case."
Finally, everyone decided to adopt this plan. Human Race and Interception Sect began to arrange their plans intensively, just waiting for the enemy to take the bait.
On Shouyang Mountain, the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Everyone knew that a war was coming. Hu Shu stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, praying silently in his heart. He knew very well that Future of the Human Race was in their hands, and they could only win this battle. It cannot be defeated. However, facing the dual pressure of Old Ancestor Hongjun and the forces in the dark, can Human Race successfully survive this crisis and continue to grow and develop? Everything is still unknown, as if a thick layer of haze hangs over Shouyang Mountain.
