"So, should we wait for them to finish fighting before showing up? That doesn’t seem right," Renshu Chang asked worriedly.
If they appeared afterward, it would look like they were stealing the spoils, which would surely provoke a strong reaction from the other three factions
If they complained after leaving the secret realm, the elders of the three major sects would definitely not let it go easily.
"You’re right, it wouldn’t be good. If we’re going to act, we need to take the high ground, leaving them no room to argue," Amalia had also considered this.
She wasn’t soone who liked unnecessary drama.
"How about we secretly dig the mine?" Vincent Tan suggested.
"That’s not a good idea either unless the Eternal One Sect loses. But if we stand by and watch our fellow humans being killed by devils while we secretly dig the mine for personal gain, it would harm the Green Lotus Sect’s reputation," Renshu Chang imdiately rejected the idea.
"Oh." Vincent Tan, who had grown up in the Green Lotus Sect and considered it his ho, valued the sect’s reputation highly.
As soon as Renshu Chang ntioned it, he dropped the idea.
"I wonder what the people from Beast Tar Valley and the Nine Cauldron Sect are up to," Kenny Lin suddenly said, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Why suddenly bring up Beast Tar Valley and the Nine Cauldron Sect?" Amalia glanced at Kenny Lin, asking with a knowing look, aware that he was up to sothing.
Renshu Chang, not as familiar with his Junior Master Uncle’s ways, thought it was just a casual comnt, "Maybe they’re looking for resources sowhere else."
"I recall that the cultivators from Beast Tar Valley are mostly beast tars. What resources could they be searching for?" Kenny Lin said with a sly smile.
Renshu Chang was puzzled for a mont, "They’re probably looking for materials to forge weapons and for spiritual herbs."
Although most of the Beast Tar Valley cultivators relied on their spirit beasts for combat, so did use Artifacts.
After all, Artifacts were essential for human cultivators.
As for spiritual herbs, they were even more critical; no cultivator could avoid injury forever, and spiritual herbs were necessary for both healing and cultivation.
Amalia quickly understood why Kenny Lin had brought this up, "The Double Cavern Secret Realm has many spirit beasts. Although they’re not very powerful, but they are quite intelligent. If soone were to ta them, they could be trained and cultivated into a formidable force. So, their target is likely the spirit beasts."
Renshu Chang finally caught on, "So, you’re suggesting that the disciples from Beast Tar Valley might be trying to ta spirit beasts, which could lead to a beast riot?"
"It’s possible," Amalia replied, "With such a commotion happening on the other side and these two factions remaining quiet, it suggests they have sothing more important to focus on."
If the spirit beasts were to riot, the entire secret realm would beco dangerous.
There were Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts on the cliffs.
Whether the devils or the humans won, escaping the secret realm would be a challenge if the demonic beasts revolted.
Reflecting on it now, Renshu Chang realized that the actions of Beast Tar Valley and the Nine Cauldron Sect had indeed been strange.
Since entering the secret realm, they had hardly been seen.
"Do you think they’ve gone to the cliffs? But there are many Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts there. How would they dare provoke them?"
"They wouldn’t dare provoke the Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts, but they might be after their offspring," Amalia suggested.
Demonic beasts care deeply about their cubs.
If they find their offspring has been stolen or forcibly bonded by humans, the consequences could be severe.
Renshu Chang wanted to believe they wouldn’t dare, but recalling Beast Tar Valley’s past actions, he thought their reckless nature might lead them to take such risks.
"We can’t let them cause chaos," he said firmly.
"This is just our guess. They might be searching for treasures elsewhere," Amalia explained.
She gave Kenny Lin a stern look, suspecting that his sudden ntion of Beast Tar Valley was more about stirring trouble rather than a genuine concern.
Kenny Lin looked back at her innocently, wondering why he was being scrutinized.
The idea had not co from him.
"We don’t know where they are now. Even if we guess they’re on the cliffs, it’s very vast up there. How would we know where exactly they went up from? You’re a disciple of the Green Lotus Sect, not a world-saving hero. Just protect the brothers and sisters of your sect," Amalia said sharply.
Renshu Chang slowly cald down, "You’re right."
His main worry was his own sect, not other factions.
He wasn’t trying to be a hero.
"Here’s what we’ll do. You take a few injured brothers and find a safe place, as close to the exit as possible. We’ll go ahead and keep investigating," Amalia suggested.
The strong fighters are concentrated in one area.
With Renshu Chang taking the injured, the chance of running into other factions is low.
There’s no need to worry too much.
As for the missing Light Demon Sect and Demonic Night Palace, they are more likely fighting each of other now.
Renshu Chang wanted to join them but knew his brothers needed him.
He couldn’t just leave them behind.
"Then you should be careful."
"Don’t worry, Senior Brother. We’ll stick close to the Junior Master Uncle and Martial Aunt," Senior Brother Cao said, having recovered significantly from his previous injuries.
Senior Brother Zhang, with a broken arm, would need to find a healing pill for severed limbs once they returned.
The only two who weren’t injured were Vincent Tan and Ding Huiqing.
They had the strength but lacked battle experience, so they had escaped with minimal harm.
Renshu Chang wanted to take them along, but the two of them were adamant about following Amalia and the others.
"We’re here for training," Ding Huiqing said.
This ti, he agreed with Vincent Tan.
