Underground Sea.
In the darkness.
"What a formidable display. Without even using a Grand Yi Divine Weapon, Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin dealt with such a powerful mutant so effortlessly."
"Tuo Baxin drew the mutant's attacks head-on and endured the encirclement, yet he didn't suffer so much as a single injury."
"Lin Bai delivered the fatal sword strike. The might of that attack was truly unparalleled."
"Neither of those two is simple."
Whispers came from the darkness.
They were all slightly astonished by the strength Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin had displayed. But soon, everyone came back to their senses and resumed discussing their next course of action.
"Everyone, the mutant has already been dealt with by the two of them. Should we still proceed according to the plan we agreed on earlier?"
Someone raised the crucial question.
Were they still going to act according to the plan?
Their earlier plan had been to wait until Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin fought the Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent to mutual destruction, then emerge to reap the spoils and deal with Lin Bai while they were at it.
But the current situation was clearly different from what they had expected.
Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin had dealt with the Nine-Headed Dragon Serpent with ease. Not only were they completely unharmed, they had done so effortlessly.
Under these circumstances, it was clearly impossible for them to come out and reap the spoils.
"There are only Lin Bai and Tuo Baxin here, and we're ten thousand meters beneath the ground. This is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity."
"If Lin Bai leaves this place and returns to the surface, he can regroup with the Tianshui Sect martial artists or reunite with his other friends. It'll be difficult to deal with him then."
One of them analyzed the stakes.
