After receiving a response, Cai Yue'er then turned to the other Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and said, "Elders, let's return to the defense line for now to observe the situation!"
The crowd nodded slightly and immediately burst forth with tremendous speed entering the defense line...
The federation's strong warriors naturally noticed that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion had retreated and chose to stop their battle with the Abyssal Emperors...
One of the strong warriors frowned and said, "The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion have retreated, so let's also return to the defense line!"
Another strong warrior nodded and said, "Yes, that's all we can do for now. The Abyssal Emperors right now are not to be feared, it's those creatures who will soon attack that are truly terrifying!"
"That's right, rather than waste our Soul Power here, it's better to conserve our strength. There might be a great battle to come!"
Once their opinions were unified, the federation's strong warriors also entered the defense line...
Seeing this, one of the War God Temple Members shouted, "The Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the federation's strong warriors have all returned to the defense line. Now, activate the Defense Soul Guide Shield!!"
As the button was pressed, a dazzling light burst forth, with dozens of high-level Defense Soul Guide Shields opening all at once...
When their edges touched each other, they merged quietly, forming a gigantic Protective Barrier that enveloped the human defense line in all directions!!
This brought a tremendous sense of security to the Soul Masters within the defense line!
Even those Soul Masters who hadn't witnessed this before began to discuss with exclamatory tones...
"Sss... These Soul Guide Shields actually fused together. Not only has the range been enhanced, but the defense has also significantly improved!"
"Hahaha, with such a powerful Soul Guide Protective Barrier, I think even if the Abyssal Emperors attack, they won't be able to break through quickly, so what do we have to fear?"
"Of course, this is the crystallization of federation technology, by no means something those abyssal creatures can fathom!"
However, those who were members of the federation shook their heads in secret...
They couldn't help but speak to dampen the enthusiasm, "I think you'd best not get your hopes up too high. The Soul Guide Defense Shield is strong, but it has a flaw - it cannot replenish energy!"
"That's right, and once any part of it is breached, the entire Soul Guide Protective Barrier will fail!"
"This technology was developed by the federation years ago. It wasn't practical, so it never became widespread!"
"Whether we can withstand the Abyssal Emperors still depends on the federation's strong warriors and the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion, everything else is irrelevant!"
Upon hearing this, the previously excited Soul Masters felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them and immediately cooled down...
...
Meanwhile, Long Yeyue, having entered the defense line, immediately sought out Guan Yue and asked, "Hall Master Guan, why activate the Defense Soul Guide Shield so suddenly? There surely isn't a need for it at the moment, right?"
The rest of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion also cast puzzled looks, awaiting her response...
Guan Yue was very calm and answered, "Elder Long, to tell you the truth, we've already located the Abyssal Emperors, and they are very close to this place!"
"To be safe, I had the members of the War God Hall activate the Soul Guide Defense Shield!"
If we were to wait for the Abyssal Emperors to arrive before activating it, it would likely be too late!
Long Yeyue pursed her lips and expressed understanding...
It was then that Guan Yue noticed her condition and suggested, "Elder Long, instead of this matter, why don't you go and clean up a bit first?"
From the bloodstains all over her, it was evident how dire the outcome of her battle with the Abyssal Emperor had been!
```
Upon hearing this, Long Yeyue also looked down at her blood-soaked clothes and did not refuse, "Indeed!"
After shaking her sleeves, she turned and left...
Only then did Cai Yue'er withdraw her gaze, her face filled with complexity, "Today, during the battle, it was the first time I saw Elder Long unleash such terrifying killing intent; that Abyssal Emperor was torn to shreds on the spot!"
She speculated that it was because many of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion and the former Hall Master of the War God Hall, Chen Xinjie, had died at the hands of the Abyssal Emperor...
That was what triggered the release of the suppressed rage!
Lan Muzi nodded, "Hmm, I saw it too. When I was affected by that killing intent, even my heart felt cold!"
Tang Yinmeng said with lingering fear, "I thought Elder Long had been provoked. I didn't even dare to breathe too hard, but fortunately, Elder Long did not lose her reason!"
As the named disciples of Long Yeyue, they had never seen her reveal such a demeanor!
Yuan En Zhentian gave a wry smile, "It seems I wasn't the only one surprised. Elder Long has always been calm in handling anything; I didn't expect her to have such an angry side too!"
Wu Changkong interjected coolly, "Anger is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, it can bring about even greater effects!"
Guan Yue's eyes suddenly lit up, "That makes a lot of sense. If I remember correctly, you should be a disciple of the Turbid World, Wu Changkong, right?"
Seeing the other party taking the initiative to mention his teacher, Wu Changkong was somewhat surprised, but still responded without showing much emotion, "Hmm!"
Guan Yue patted his shoulder and praised again, "Not bad, your future accomplishments will definitely surpass your teacher's!"
"Perhaps,"
Wu Changkong did not pay much attention to such words!
But Cai Yue'er detected the implicit meaning and narrowed her beautiful eyes, "Hall Master Guan, it seems you have something else in mind?"
She did not believe that Guan Yue would say these seemingly meaningless words without a reason!
Guan Yue generously admitted, "Hmm, for the upcoming battle, as the Hall Master of War God Hall, I hope to exchange intelligence about the Abyssal Emperor with the Elders here!"
"Only by fully understanding the enemy's strength can we minimize our losses!"
The reason so many powerful warriors were lost in the battle against the abyss was due to a lack of clear understanding of the Abyssal Emperors' strength!
Cai Yue'er chuckled lightly, "I see. Since our goal is to protect the Continent, sharing the information we know is naturally no problem!"
With that, she shared all the intelligence on the Abyssal Emperors that the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion had obtained at the cost of their lives...
Having heard everything, Guan Yue stroked his chin thoughtfully, "So, the most troublesome at the moment are the Abyssal Emperor whose strength is unknown, and the first twenty Abyssal Emperors!"
This was the strength left after the battle in the abyss!
If it was during a period of full strength, just how terrifying would it be?
Cai Yue'er affirmed, "That's right, as for the middle-layer Abyssal Emperors and the later-layer Abyssal Emperors, their strength will not exceed the range of a Hyper Douluo and actually pose little threat to humans!"
Just pick any Titled Douluo piloting a Mecha or wearing a Four-Word Battle Armor; even if they can't win, they can still hold their ground.
Guan Yue took a deep breath, "Elders, this matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with the War Gods of the War God Hall. Please excuse me for now!"
It seems that the previously formulated plan to battle the Abyssal Emperors needed some adjustments!
