To be honest, everyone was quite interested in the Independent Alliance. After all, it had truly done what they had never dared to do.
With everyone's agreement, the group swiftly headed toward the Independent Alliance in the Primordial World.
Ever since repelling the Ghouls' attack, the entire Primordial World had become extraordinarily busy.
Everyone believed that the Ghouls would never let them off easily.
The Ghost Sage's strength had not been diminished, and Ghost Grandson had survived as well. Having suffered such a grievous humiliation, how could they possibly let the Primordial World's Independent Alliance off easily?
They would certainly come knocking.
There was no telling how powerful the beings who came knocking next time would be.
After returning, the Ghost Sage convened an internal meeting of the Ghoul Clan.
"The Independent Alliance is growing ever stronger, and its threat to the Abyss Empire is growing ever greater. It's no longer realistic for our Ghoul Clan alone to keep them in check."
"We could deploy a large force to surround and annihilate them, but that would wound us to the bone as well. I suggest requesting support from the Abyss Empire."
"Besides, Caesar is a prisoner who escaped from the Divine Light Gate. They must be the ones to capture him and take him back."
The Ghost Sage was extremely agitated. A dignified Grand Ancestor God like him had returned in defeat and lost a great many Ghouls besides.
It was far too humiliating for him.
Still, he would not sacrifice Ghoul lives for the sake of saving face. They were his clansmen, after all.
That was why he had called this meeting.
The Ghoul leaders discussed the matter among themselves.
"The Angel Empire and the Abyss Empire are currently in talks, discussing how to pursue the prisoners together."
