The two high-level divine generals returned without any explanation.
With their status, there was no need for them to explain. The cultivators in Lou Cheng only needed to listen to their orders.
Even if some cultivators suspected that a high-level divine general might be hiding a secret, they had no right to question him.
In fact, there were many times when there was no benefit to disclosing the truth.
Once the public knew about the secret, not only would they not be able to help solve the problem, but they would also increase unnecessary trouble.
In the face of something that was beyond one’s control, panic was the most likely state to appear, causing the situation to worsen.
The advantage of keeping a secret was that he could control the situation and even resolve it quietly.
In the future, even if the secret was exposed, it would not cause much impact.
No matter what happened, there was a time limit. The longer the time interval, the smaller the impact.
Big things turned into small things, small things turned into nothing, and it didn’t even cause any waves.
In the face of a secret from many years ago, no matter how shocking it was, the listener might only sigh.
It was the same for mortals and cultivators.
The goal of the four high-level divine generals was to maintain stability. The hunting camp could no longer be destroyed.
The destruction caused by the Super creature had caused quite a number of casualties, and even now, some cultivators were still in shock.
Fortunately, the dead cultivators in loucheng city had a chance to be resurrected, and the broken Lighthouse had been successfully repaired, so the damage had been reduced to the minimum.
As long as the business was repaired, it could return to the right track and operate as normal as before.
At this moment, the four high-level divine generals were the ones under the greatest pressure in the hunting camp.
Their worry was not without reason. If the cultivators in loucheng knew the truth, the hunting camp would have been in chaos.
The disappearance of a peak divine general for no reason was a major event that could not be ignored.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the sky was falling.
Of course, up until now, even the two high-level divine generals who had gone into the sea to investigate could not make a specific judgment.
They didn’t even think that a peak divine general would die. Instead, they suspected that something unexpected had happened.
It was because of the suddenness of the incident that the peak-stage divine general had disappeared without a trace, leaving no message behind.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be long before they returned to the camp.
However, Lou Cheng’s cultivators had their own rules. Such a major incident should be reported to Lou Cheng.
If a peak-level immortal general was here, he would be responsible for this event; otherwise, he would deal with it by a senior immortal general.
The situation was still unclear, so the four high-level divine generals decided to wait for a while after some discussion.
If the peak-stage divine general still didn’t show up by the time limit, they would report it immediately.
When the time came, an in-depth investigation would be carried out to find out the specific reasons and confirm whether there had been any accidents.
In fact, even if this matter was reported, the high-level divine generals would still be responsible for investigating and dealing with it. If even they couldn’t do anything, then they would send the higher level cultivators in loucheng.
One should not underestimate a high-level divine general. Among many of the major forces in the origin realm, they were already at the level of a supremacy.
They could guard a region and prosper for hundreds of thousands of years.
Under the command of the four high-level divine generals, the flames of the nine lighthouses were reignited, and the hunting camp began to operate as usual.
The pitiful number of cultivators in Lou Cheng had already been reduced by half, making the hunting camp much more deserted.
Fortunately, the Lou Cheng cultivators had strong mental fortitude. Even after suffering such a heavy blow, they could still complete the task with a steady mind.
They knew very well that it wouldn’t be long before cultivators from Lou Cheng came to fill the gap.
Of course, it was also possible that the current situation would be maintained until the next wave of cultivators arrived.
Sailing back and forth in the forbidden Sea was not as easy as imagined, and the whole Army had been annihilated more than once.
The peaceful Forbidden Sea had swallowed countless cultivators, and it was far more dangerous than he had imagined.
In the following days, the high-level divine generals entered the forbidden Sea from time to time in an attempt to find traces of peak-level divine generals.
They searched with all their might, looking for possible traces so that they could make a more accurate judgment and analysis.
This was not only because they were worried about their companions, but also because it was a mission that they had to complete. When they reported the situation, they had to explain in detail.
High-level divine generals were top-notch combat forces. After this matter was reported, the task of investigating would likely continue to fall on them.
Therefore, they had to be responsible for this matter sooner or later. Naturally, it was better to investigate it as soon as possible.
But as the investigation continued, the high-level divine generals became more and more uneasy, because this matter was strange in every way.
A peak divine general had disappeared without a trace.
This was definitely not normal. It probably meant that something unusual had happened and the peak divine general had been involved.
Otherwise, a peak-level immortal general would not have been absent for so long without leaving any clues.
After all, with the other party’s ability, it would be very easy to do this. There was no need to leave any suspense.
Most importantly, a peak-level divine general was the anchor of the hunting camp, to deter the other non-humankind beings from coveting it.
If the enemy knew that there was no peak-stage divine general guarding the hunt, they would attack without hesitation.
They massacred the hunting grounds, seized the nine lighthouses, and claimed them for themselves.
Once the enemy succeeded in snatching it, it would not be easy for the cultivators to take it back.
The competition for resources in the origin realm was brutal. What had not happened in the past did not mean that it would not happen in the future.
In fact, this hunting camp had not been exposed so far, which was why it had been safe.
In the past, the cultivators of Lou Cheng had encountered the pursuit of the enemy forces and had fierce naval battles.
60% of the cultivators in loucheng city who participated in the battle were killed, and only less than half of them managed to reach the island.
The purpose of such a desperate fight was simple-to defend the position of the hunting camp and not let the interests of the loucheng suffer.
Time passed slowly, and the deadline was getting closer and closer.
The high-level divine generals had investigated for a long time, but they had not found anything. They couldn’t help but feel deeply worried.
they suspected that this matter was very likely related to the enemy faction, perhaps the enemy had ambushed a peak divine general.
As the enemy was extremely powerful, they were able to cover up all traces and not be detected by the investigators.
But if that was the case, why didn’t the enemy make any follow-up actions, such as launching an attack on the hunting camp?
There was also another possibility that the peak-stage immortal general had encountered an ancient creature and was attacked by it.
Of course, high-level immortal generals were clear about the weirdness of ancient creatures. After two arrivals of consciousnesses of ancient creatures, peak immortal generals were more likely to be sneak-attacked.
As for why the battle was silent, it was probably because of the peak-stage divine general. They probably moved the battlefield to protect the hunting camp.
The method of transfer was rather thorough. All traces were taken away to prevent the ancient creatures from leaving any contingency.
Speculations didn’t represent the truth. Without concrete evidence, one couldn’t easily make a conclusion.
After another round of discussion, the four high-level divine generals made a decision to report this matter to Lou Cheng.
As for how to deal with it, he would have to brainstorm and even invite a peak divine general to investigate this matter.
However, how would they know that their actions were in line with Tang Zhen’s expectations.
