Suspecting that Chi Xue's people had captured the two Ancient Divine Beasts, the Po Family Brothers were furious. Ninth Brother of Po Family, the most hot-tempered among them, could hardly wait to retaliate, but Po Family's Youngest Brother, Po Di, stopped him. They then analyzed the situation, which left them feeling rather helpless: Heavenly One Path's overall strength still fell somewhat short of Mo Family's.
"Even if our Heavenly One Path were stronger than Mo Family, I'm afraid the sect master still wouldn't move against them," Po Family's Youngest Brother said, his tone quite certain. "The other major factions are all watching us like tigers eyeing their prey. They'll surely strike from the shadows while we're at war with Mo Family. If that happens, as Second Brother said, all our previous efforts will have been in vain. So for now, we can only endure."
"That's right. We can only endure." Po Di spoke, but a sharp glint flashed through his eyes. "Hmph. Once some of the Ancient Divine Beasts we've recruited break through to the Quasi-Saint level, we won't have so many scruples. Even if we can't attack them openly, we'll be able to retaliate in secret and make them swallow their anger along with their broken teeth."
Although it was difficult for Ancient Divine Beasts to break through to the Quasi-Saint level, most of the ones the Po Family Brothers had recruited were exceptionally gifted. Heavenly One Path spared no expense on them, using Five-Revolutions Soul Quenching and Body Quenching Liquid. Their aptitude and Bloodline Power had improved tremendously, making it much easier for them to reach the Quasi-Saint level.
Now that Heaven-Devouring Hou could freely enter Beast Soul Valley, it could bring out enough Soul Condensing Stones. Heavenly Treasures and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were no problem
