Clearly!
These Half-Venerable realm experts had developed serious disagreements over this critical decision.
A Half-Venerable from the Bluefin Merman Clan broke the brief silence, his face anxious and his voice ringing like metal and stone:
"Everyone!
You have all received the reports from the front lines. The Half-Venerable experts of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan and their underlings have already mobilized in full force!
If we continue watching from here and refuse to act, the favorable situation our men at the front bought with their blood will swiftly collapse. The consequences will be unthinkable!"
As he spoke, moisture churned around him, betraying the turmoil in his heart.
At this moment.
Another Half-Venerable, lean and elongated in build, with vertical slit pupils and hailing from the Sea Serpent Clan, slowly stepped forward.
He shook his head, his voice effeminate yet carrying a bone-piercing chill:
"This Venerable also aches for the clan's sons who are fighting bloody battles, but how would charging out recklessly be any different from seeking death?
Do not forget, everyone, that the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's greatest source of confidence in sweeping through all directions lies not merely in those Half-Venerables—
but in their unfathomable new clan chief—Sha Minghong!"
His gaze swept over the crowd, and his tone grew heavier:
"If we all deploy, we may indeed suppress them for the moment.
We might even crush the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's Half-Venerables.
But what if—what if, I say—Clan Chief Sha Minghong personally makes a move? How are we supposed to withstand a thunderous strike?"
He paused, then asked almost word by word:
"Who! Can! Withstand! It!"
His words were like a bucket of ice water dumped over their heads, causing the auras of several advocates of war to falter.
"Exactly!"
