Fortunately, they were far enough away and hid quickly, so Shen Bai didn’t spot them.
At Lv Bei’s words, many of them fell silent.
It was just that Shen Bai was far too dazzling.
Xiang Quan tightened his grip on his Double Hooks. "There’s no other way now," he said. "If we scatter, he’ll just pick us off one by one."
Initially, when Lv Bei had spoken of Shen Bai’s strength, Xiang Quan had thought he was exaggerating.
To be honest, Xiang Quan was scared too.
He hadn’t believed in Shen Bai’s strength at first. But after witnessing that terrifying Sword Qi monts ago, he felt his Double Hooks—which excelled at dismantling an opponent’s techniques—would likely be useless against him.
He couldn’t comprehend his Swordsmanship or Sword Skills at all.
Chen Yu looked slightly more composed. "Gentlen," he asked, "do any of you have a plan? If you’re holding onto any powerful treasures, now’s the ti to bring them out. We have to eliminate Shen Bai, or we’ll be the ones to lose."
He said this in a calm, even tone, as if completely unperturbed.
But only Chen Yu knew that his current composure was just an act.
Ever since entering this Space, the three of them had been gathering the surrounding mbers of the Observatory.
Before long, they had gathered over a hundred ridian Realm experts.
They were also lucky; they had spawned in a densely populated area.
Having assembled these hundred-plus people, they were now employing the best strategy they could think of.
This was an army of over one hundred ridian Realm experts. If even they couldn’t eliminate Shen Bai, then there was nothing else they could do.
"Let’s go. It all cos down to this fight anyway," Lv Bei said, dusting himself off.
The crowd exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
As Lv Bei had said, this was a huge gamble. If they won, everyone would rejoice.
If they lost, the ending would be disastrous.
With the decision made, no one dwelled on it any longer.
But over a hundred people wasn’t their limit. They continued to find ways to move around Shen Bai, seeking even more allies.
They weren’t the only ones with this idea. Many smaller teams were thinking the sa thing.
They all set their sights on Shen Bai, temporarily ceasing their infighting to eliminate this major threat first.
「anwhile, Shen Bai had run into Ouyang Sword and Xu Qian.」
The two of them had miraculously appeared together after entering, and by working in tandem, they had also managed to eliminate quite a few people.
Upon seeing Shen Bai, the three imdiately ford a team and began to search the vast area.
"That’s strange," Ouyang Sword wondered aloud after drawing his longsword and eliminating an Observatory mber before him. "This place is huge, and there should be a lot of people. Why aren’t there many left?"
Xu Qian’s body, which had been swollen to twice its normal size, was now gradually shrinking back to its usual portly state.
Shen Bai finally got to see Xu Qian’s ability in action.
All that fat of his actually served as a form of defense. When he activated his Cultivation Technique, his body would rapidly swell, and his defensive capabilities were astonishingly high.
His attacks, anwhile, were quite barbaric: he simply used his bulk to ram opponents, shattering their bones and tearing their tendons.
"I don’t know why either, but sothing feels wrong about this situation," Xu Qian said.
They had been searching together, expecting a bountiful harvest, but they had found very few people—only a few scattered stragglers.
"Those guys are definitely plotting against ," Shen Bai said, stroking his chin. "If I’m not mistaken, they’ve probably ford an alliance."
Xu Qian asked, "Brother Shen, are you saying they’ve all gathered together to form one big alliance to take you on?"
Shen Bai nodded. "I saw Lv Bei and his two companions doing just that, which is what gave the idea."
Ouyang Sword pondered for a mont before speaking. "Brother Shen’s theory makes sense. After all, we’ve searched so many places and found hardly anyone. There’s only one explanation: they’re deliberately avoiding us, gathering in secret sowhere."
Shen Bai said, "Exactly. Once they’ve gathered enough people, they’ll launch their counterattack."
Xu Qian patted his belly. "That’s... not going to be easy to deal with."
So many people entered this internal assessnt, and even the weakest among them are at the ridian Realm. There are more ridian Realm Peak experts than you can count on one hand.
If they all managed to group up, even a Unity Realm master would have to think twice about whether they could handle them.
Shen Bai looked back and said, "It’s fine."
Xu Qian stared blankly for a second. "Brother Shen, we can’t underestimate them."
Ouyang Sword rubbed the hilt of his sword. "Brother Shen must have his reasons. I’m not worried in the slightest. Ever since I’ve known him, I’ve never seen Brother Shen fight a battle he wasn’t confident he could win."
Hearing this, Xu Qian said, "If that’s the case, Brother Shen, what brilliant strategy do you have in mind? Care to share the details?"
Shen Bai shook his head. "I don’t have a brilliant strategy. It’s just that there’s no way to stop them from teaming up now, so I might as well just take them on."
At this answer, the corner of Xu Qian’s mouth twitched.
But after a mont’s thought, he realized there was truly no way to solve the current predicant.
