"Great Elder, it seems the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan members Xiao Tian Ce killed slipped past our reconnaissance on the Holy Abyss Continent."
Great Thousand Palace, headquarters.
In midair, Qin Tian's expression darkened as Lu Tong finished speaking.
"That is certainly possible. From what we currently know, all members of the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan must pass through the Holy Abyss Continent to enter the Great Thousand World.
"Yet clearly, we have received no word whatsoever from the Great Thousand Tower Branch so far.
"That leaves only two possibilities. First, the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan did come through the Holy Abyss Continent, but concealed their movements through some means and escaped the branch's detection.
"Second, the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan has found another stepping stone into the Great Thousand World, one that leads directly to the Northern Defense Line.
"If it is the first, that is manageable. Among all the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan's powerful experts, only the Divine Hidden Clan's Heavenly Demon Emperor has that ability.
"But if it is the second, that would be bad news for us." Qin Tian nodded, analyzing the situation calmly.
The expressions of the Great Thousand Palace experts beside him changed at his words.
Indeed, if it was merely the former, even if they could not stop him, the Divine Hidden Clan's Heavenly Demon Emperor would have to pay a terrible price himself to evade the Great Thousand Tower Branch's detection.
If they could seize the opportunity to eliminate the Divine Hidden Clan's sole Heavenly Demon Emperor in one stroke, everything would be settled.
But if the second possibility proved true, they would have to divide their forces. The Great Thousand Palace was already severely short-handed against the Extraterrestrial Demon Clan. Otherwise, they would not personally invite every newly emerged Heavenly Sovereign to join the Great Thousand Palace
