Although the few commanders already had an answer in their hearts.
No matter how shocked they were, no matter how unbelievable it was, they could only accept this result.
Of course, this was only their analysis and inference. Before getting confirmation, they absolutely did not dare to come to a conclusion.
The best way was naturally to find the few Hall Masters and ask clearly.
But, when they really wanted to ask the various Hall Masters, the few commanders all hesitated and thought of retreating in their hearts.
This was clearly sending themselves to be scolded, a matter of touching bad luck.
If the Kongming Temple's great defeat was fake, they would definitely be reprimanded by the few Hall Masters if they went to ask for the answer.
If the Kongming Temple really returned in a crushing defeat, they going to ask at this time was equivalent to adding fuel to the fire. They would definitely anger the few Hall Masters and receive even more severe scolding.
Therefore, the few commanders could only suppress the doubts and uneasiness in their hearts and discuss endlessly in private.
In less than two days, the news spread in the Kongming Mystic Realm.
Many Divine King experts all knew the news that the Kongming Temple returned in a crushing defeat.
Among them, a portion of people knew from the few commanders' narration.
But the vast majority of people did not need to hear what the few commanders said and could also guess this result.
Because the news could not be concealed.
Those five hundred heavily injured elite Divine Kings all returned to their respective residences and went into closed-door cultivation to heal their injuries.
During this period, there were people who saw their wretched appearances.
Those injured elite Divine Kings all had their own friends and brothers. Naturally, there would be people who went to visit them and ask about the results of the great battle.
Paper could not contain fire. Even if those injured Divine Kings were secretive and unwilling to speak of the truth.
But, through their injuries, mental state, and some words, everyone could also deduce the result.
Just like this, the news that the Kongming Temple returned in a crushing defeat and that the four Hall Masters led the five hundred wounded soldiers back to the Kongming Mystic Realm spread rapidly.
In the Kongming Mystic Realm, countless people were discussing animatedly. They were shocked and felt incredulous.
There were also many Divine King experts who were very concerned about the fifth Hall Master's whereabouts.
Everyone only saw the four Hall Masters return, but they did not see any trace of the fifth Hall Master.
This inevitably caused everyone to discuss and speculate. What happened to the fifth Hall Master?
Could it be that he died on the battlefield and fell?
This guess was very bold and sounded very absurd.
After all, a God Emperor was a symbol of invincibility and immortality.
In everyone's memory, in the entire Planet of Origin, they had never heard of a God Emperor falling.
If the Fifth Hallmaster was really killed, then he would be the first God Emperor to fall on the Planet of Origin.
As the news spread more and more, everyone in the Kongming Secret Realm knew about it, and then it gradually spread outside.
The entire Bright Void Secret Realm was in an uproar, and it was filled with terror, panic, and worry. Rumors spread everywhere, and everyone had different opinions.
After all, the Kongming Temple's defeat proved that the Beast Race had risen, or that they had grasped some great killing weapon.
With the bloodthirsty nature of the beasts, it was very likely that they would take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack and invade the Kongming Temple's territory.
Everyone felt a sense of urgency, as if a great battle was about to begin. The anxiety in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
…
After the four Hallmasters returned to the Bright Void Secret Realm, they first settled down more than five hundred injured soldiers, and then went into seclusion for a few days to treat their injuries and recover their Divine Power and mental state.
They originally thought that after a few days, when their mental states had recovered, they would gather the elites for a meeting.
They did not have the intention to hide the results of the battle. They only wanted to announce it a few days later and come up with a corresponding strategy and order.
In the end, in just a few days, the entire Bright Void Secret Realm was in chaos.
The ten thousand people who stayed behind to guard the Bright Void Secret Realm were all uneasy and panicked. It could be said that the morale of the army was in chaos, and rumors were flying everywhere.
This was unexpected to the Hallmasters, and they were deeply angry and disappointed.
The First Hallmaster did not hesitate to give the order to gather the Hallmasters and many commanders for a meeting in the Conference Hall.
After the order was passed down, the news also spread.
The three Hall Masters and twelve Commander-level powerhouses hurried to the Conference Hall.
Many elite God Kings were also secretly discussing, guessing what the Hallmasters would do and say.
After fifteen minutes, fifteen experts gathered in the Conference Hall.
The host of the Conference Hall sat on the main seat with a sacred and dignified scepter.
The three Hallmasters sat on the left and right sides of the Conference Hall, solemnly sitting on divine jade chairs.
As for the twelve commander-level experts, there were five elders and seven generals. They were also divided into two rows in the hall.
"Bam!"
The wide and heavy door closed, and the light in the Conference Hall dimmed.
The silent Conference Hall was filled with a heavy and austere atmosphere, making everyone anxious.
The First Hallmaster's face was gloomy and solemn. The other three Hallmasters sat on their chairs with lowered eyelids and expressionless faces.
Seeing this scene, the twelve commander-level experts felt even more uneasy and fearful.
"Today, I have gathered everyone here to announce something."
Finally, the First Hallmaster spoke.
He did not waste his breath, nor did he beat around the bush. He said straightforwardly, "I believe that everyone already knows. That's right, the plan to encircle the Beast Race's Li Capital and capture the Desolate God Emperor has failed.
Of our four thousand elite God Kings, more than three thousand four hundred died on the battlefield and were reduced to ashes. Only five hundred or so managed to escape.
Even the Fifth Hallmaster's divine body was destroyed, leaving behind only a damaged Godhead. "
The First Hallmaster's straightforward declaration of the truth was hard for everyone to accept, shattering their last shred of hope and hope.
But by saying this, at least he was open and honest, preventing everyone from making wild guesses and spreading all sorts of rumors.
The elders and generals whispered to each other for a while before quickly calming down.
This was because they knew that the First Hallmaster had something more important to say.
As expected, the First Hallmaster's expression was dignified as he said in a grave tone, "The reason we suffered such heavy losses in this battle was because we underestimated the enemy and were not prepared enough.
From today onwards, we must change our understanding and view of the Beast Race.
They are definitely not an ignorant race. Without us noticing, they have long been thinking of ways to learn divine abilities and skills and nurture their forces ….
Most importantly, that young Desolate God Emperor has allied himself with the Beast Race.
Although his cultivation level is not high, he is full of cunning and uses all sorts of divine abilities and tricks. It is impossible to guard against him.
It is precisely because of his help that the Beast Race was able to achieve victory and inflict heavy losses on us.
The Kongming Temple will never forget this debt. As long as we do not capture him, we will not be able to settle this debt.
However, our top priority is not to seek revenge against the Beast Race, nor is it to continue capturing that Desolate God Emperor.
What we need to do is strengthen the border defense and guard against the Beast Race's counterattack.
Moreover, we need to learn from our humiliation and recover as quickly as possible to strengthen our forces.
Only when our forces are strong enough will we be able to exact our revenge!
I hope that when we set out again in several hundred years, we will be victorious in every battle! "
