After the four Divine Warships entered the Kongming Temple's territory, they slowed down significantly.
After all, it was very safe in their own territory. They did not have to worry about the threat of the Beast Tribe.
The four Temple Masters controlled the Divine Warships and rushed back to the Kongming Mystic Realm. They also sent out communication jade slips to the various Hall Masters at the border.
Although they had escaped from the Unknown Lands and safely returned to their territory, the Beast Tribe would not dare to send troops to kill them.
However, they had to be more vigilant and strengthen the defense line and patrol at the border to prevent the Beast Tribe from taking the opportunity to launch a counterattack on the Kongming Temple's territory.
Although the possibility of this was very small, the Beast Tribe had always been impulsive and bloodthirsty.
Perhaps they had been blinded by their victory and mistakenly thought that they were already very strong and had enough strength to defeat the Kongming Temple.
In their excitement, the leader of the Beast Tribe sent out a large number of elite Beast Tribe warriors to attack the Kongming Temple's territory …
This was definitely not a fantasy. It was something that was very likely to happen.
After the four Temple Masters gave their orders, the various Hall Masters at the border all started to move after receiving the orders.
They gathered a large number of elite fighters and formed a defense line at the border. They patrolled day and night without stopping, not letting go of any suspicious areas.
The four Temple Masters did not specify how long they would patrol and be on alert for.
However, the attitude they displayed and the tone of their orders made the Hall Masters of the various branches realize that this was not a short-term mission.
The Hall Masters had heard that the Temple Masters had gathered a large number of elite fighters to enter the Unknown Lands and encircle the elite fighters of the Beast Tribe.
They did not expect the Temple Masters to return so soon after the incident.
It seemed that not only did the Kongming Temple not obtain victory, they also did not gain any advantages.
This caused the various branch hall masters to feel uneasy in their hearts, and they discussed it in private.
Of course, before the Temple Masters gave the order to remove the defense line, they had to remain vigilant and not relax.
The duration of the mission could be three to five months, or it could be three to five years.
Therefore, the Hall Masters secretly adjusted their manpower and divided their elite fighters into two groups to carry out the mission in rotation.
When the defense lines of the various Hall Masters were connected, the border area of the Kongming Temple entered a state of total martial law.
Although this defense line that spanned hundreds of millions of miles could not be said to be flawless and could not guarantee that no Beast Tribe would be able to pass through.
However, a certain number of elite Beast Tribe warriors could not quietly break through the defense line and sneak into the territory of the Kongming Temple.
…
Another eight days passed...
The airship of the four Temple Masters finally returned to the headquarters of the Temple of Kongming with more than five hundred defeated soldiers.
The many elite experts who stayed behind in the Kongming Secret Realm had been waiting for the news of the triumphant return of the Palace Masters.
As long as they received the news that they had defeated the Beast Race army, they would definitely put on a grand ceremony to welcome the return of the Hall Masters.
Who would have thought that the Hall Masters would suddenly return to the secret realm without any prior notice?
This caught the soldiers and experts who were guarding the Secret Realm by surprise. They were also at a loss.
. to Kongming to them to Kongming Ming Their.
Some of the commanders and other experts gathered their courage and went to meet the Palace Masters. They wanted to know what had happened and what the situation was like.
They had never thought that when they arrived at the divine palaces of the hall masters, they would see over a hundred heavily injured elite Godkings leave gloomily, returning to their residences.
This scene caused the commanders to be bewildered and filled with shock.
They could not believe that the Hall Masters had returned to the Kongming Secret Realm silently and hastily, only to bring back a few hundred elite God Kings who were heavily injured and on the verge of death.
What did this mean?
Could it be that the Kongming Temple had encircled and annihilated the beasts and returned in defeat?
If that was really the case, wouldn't it mean that several thousand elite Godkings had died in an unknown place, while only the four hall masters and a few hundred soldiers had managed to escape?
This shouldn't be possible. It was too horrifying.
The commanders could not believe or accept this result, and immediately abandoned this thought.
Or perhaps, the great battle against the beasts was still ongoing, and the Palace Masters were just escorting the injured back?
This did not seem to make sense either.
The great battle was ongoing. The Palace Masters should be overseeing the army, remaining in an unknown place, or even taking part in the battle personally.
There was another possibility... the Kongming Temple had won the great battle, but the four Palace Masters escorted the more heavily injured soldiers back to recuperate first.
The remaining few thousand elite Godkings were on the way back to the Kongming Secret Realm.
It was just that they were traveling at a slower speed, that was why they were separated from the four Palace Masters.
This thought was somewhat believable.
But when the commanders gathered together and discussed in private, they found some loopholes and also overturned this conjecture.
After all, the four Palace Masters' warships were all pinnacle divine weapons. The internal space was very large and could accommodate several thousand elite Godkings.
Forget about the four Palace Masters returning in a divine warship at the same time, even if there was only one divine warship, it could also bring back those several thousand elite Godkings who participated in the battle.
"This matter is too fishy!"
"Yeah! There's no reason for the four Palace Masters to only bring a few hundred people back! "
"If the great battle was still ongoing, the four Palace Masters would definitely not leave the unknown place.
But if the great battle had already ended and we had won, the four Palace Masters would not return secretly. They would definitely inform us in advance and tell us the news of victory. "
"Back then, before I entered the Divine Palace, I saw those severely injured soldiers.
From the condition of their injuries and their demeanor, I felt that the chances of us winning were not high. "
"Yeah! I also saw the Third Palace Master. His expression was very ugly. He was obviously filled with anger and did not have the slightest bit of joy or excitement from winning. "
"Why did only the First Palace Master, Second Palace Master, Third Palace Master and Fourth Palace Master return?
Where did the Fifth Palace Master go? Could there have been an accident? "
"There's a saying. When we have eliminated all kinds of options and are unable to make a choice, the most ridiculous answer is usually the truth!"
"What? You mean … we lost the battle? Thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield and only a few hundred people survived and were rescued by the four Palace Masters? "
"According to what you said, the Fifth Palace Master did not appear. Could it be that he also met with an accident and died on the battlefield?"
"That's impossible! Our Kongming Temple is so powerful. How could the ignorant and lowly Beast Clan defeat us?
I don't care if you believe it or not, but I definitely won't believe it! "
"Alright everyone, it's useless for us to make wild guesses here. Why don't we ask the Palace Masters personally and we will know the result."
A few commander-level experts who held great authority discussed in private and roughly guessed the answer.
