Chapter 1588

"Others... shouldn't have too much of a problem."

After touching the strange hair on his neck, Director Sagittarius answered with a tight frown:

"Among the four of us, Sagittarius and Cancer have their lifespans coming to an end, while you and Pisces have a lack in your souls, all of which are restrained to death by the authority of death. After being hit head-on by the Cliff of the End, it is natural that we couldn't escape.

The remaining Capricorn and the Zodiac Directors, although they are also not the opponents of the Pillar Gods, have a much greater 'distance' from death than us, and have a stronger ability to resist the authority of death. It is not difficult for them to retreat after exhausting their strength."

"Not just that."

Director Cancer, who was swaying on the other side, added:

"I was the last one dragged down. When I was hit, the lantern that could communicate with the Cliff of the End had already been smashed by Capricorn and the others. Without that lantern, the Six-Faced Musk Deer could no longer drag the Cliff of the End over."

"Phew... that's good..."

After listening to the words of Director Cancer and Director Sagittarius, Director Pisces, who looked sleepy, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then cheered himself up:

"When we came down, the Death Monk and Crow-Eyed Granny were completely abolished, the Juechuan Yellow Earthworm only had half a body left, two and a half incarnations of the Six-Faced Musk Deer were gone, and the Rebirth Lamp that could induce the Cliff of the End was broken. It is no longer difficult to solve it."

"Cough, cough... but we still didn't stop it in the end."

After coughing twice with a painful expression, Director Taurus on the side sighed.

"Although it's already half less, as long as the Six-Faced Musk Deer brings the authority of death back to the present world, it will definitely bring a massive amount of death..."

"This is also something that can't be helped... I tried my best until I even risked my life."

Hearing this, Director Cancer couldn't help but sigh, then said with a helpless look:

"If it were a place like the present world or the Astral Realm, I could block a Pillar God one-on-one, but this time we were acting in the Death Realm, which is equivalent to stepping directly into someone else's authority. We have problems, and we were restrained too miserably.

If it were like the plan before, with only two Pillar God-level masters, the Faceless Man and the Engraver, we could have won steadily. But who knew that a Six-Faced Musk Deer would pop out? In a world where death is the first authority, facing six full-strength death Pillar Gods, it's already not bad to be able to fight like this.

Besides, if it weren't for the sudden problem with the soul, I estimate I could have taken one more away... Speaking of which, Jeanne, do you really not feel that your soul has been tampered with?"

"I really don't have that feeling..."

Looking at the gazes cast by the other three directors, Director Taurus checked her soul again, then shook her head and said:

"Everything is really normal, I am very sure that my soul has not been tampered with... Speaking of you guys, if your souls were tampered with, why did you only find out something was wrong until now?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Why don't you guys speak?"

"Let me say it..."

After being silent for a while, Director Sagittarius opened his mouth with a complex expression:

"Jeanne, the one who took action against us is likely Third-Generation Lord."

"?!!!"

"I think so too..."

Director Cancer nodded, analyzing with an ugly face:

"After arriving at the Death Realm, we have been staying in the Sage Cemetery, protected by the rules there. Even if the Six-Faced Musk Deer is stronger, it is impossible to bypass Third-Generation Lord's perception and take action against our souls silently. So the person who ambushed us can only be Third-Generation Lord."

"But... this doesn't make sense..."

Director Taurus hesitated for a while, then asked with confusion:

"Third-Generation Lord ambushing us must have a reason, right? What is his purpose?"

"If you want to ask my purpose, of course it's to save your lives~"

"?!!!" Hearing the familiar voice coming from above, the four directors holding a small meeting couldn't help but look up in unison. In their stunned expression, a square head with sparse hair poked out from the cliff edge, revealing a proud smile.

"Third-Generation Lord?!"

Looking at the old face appearing on the cliff, the four directors floating below the Cliff of the End couldn't help but be stunned, then hurriedly asked:

"Why are you here?"

"What about the Six-Faced Musk Deer?"

"Could it be that Capricorn and the others won?!"

"Didn't win, that little cub Capricorn ran away!"

Looking at the four seriously injured directors below, especially Director Taurus who was seriously injured and floating at the very bottom, the Third-Generation Director's old face smiled until the wrinkles piled up.

"After you guys were swept down, Capricorn found the situation was wrong, judged that continuing to fight would be a waste, and directly forced open a 【Heavenly Path】, sending the other little cubs to Heaven Mountain."

"However, Heaven Mountain is too far from the Death Realm. It is estimated that they will take more than half a month to get there. If they want to come back, it is estimated that it will take more than a month."

"..."

So... after this mission, the Zodiac Directors all successfully retreated, and only the four of us directors were wiped out?

"What kind of expression is that?"

After looking at the directors' expressions that were a bit hard to hold back, the smile on the Third-Generation old man's face suddenly disappeared, then he hung his face and scolded:

"Capricorn didn't sell you out. He was just judging the situation and bringing people to retreat in time to save some vitality for the bureau. You guys always want to die together, you should really learn from him!"

"Even if you completely risk your lives, you can only exchange for two more incarnations of the Six-Faced Musk Deer, then what? The bureau suddenly lost four directors, who will sit in town later? Is it possible to absorb the Earth Descendants into the bureau and give them a few director seats to sit on?"

"Tsk... if it weren't for me being cautious enough to do some tricks in advance and pulling you back at the critical moment, you wouldn't even have the chance to float under the Cliff of the End now!"

"..."

If we remember correctly, weren't you the one shouting for us to go up and fight before? Why are you saying we are too impulsive now? You are the one who says all the good and bad things, right?

Being so angry at Third-Generation's act of urinating everywhere while standing on high ground, but looking at his proud look, the hearts of several directors that had been hanging high finally landed safely in their stomachs.

"Third-Generation Lord."

After shouting loudly to interrupt the Third-Generation Director's scolding, Director Sagittarius asked loudly:

"How is the Six-Faced Musk Deer? Since you appeared here, it should have been solved, right?"

"That's for sure!"

Hearing this, the Third-Generation old man raised his eyebrows, then leaned on the cliff edge and answered with pride:

"Under my command, that someone took the anomalous object I forged and set up an ambush at the place I designated, killing the Six-Faced Musk Deer before it could enter the present world!"

"?!!!"

"Hehe, now you know why I am the most powerful director? Even without the original power, I still have a brain!"

Looking at the four pleasantly surprised directors below, the Third-Generation old man hummed with his head slightly raised:

"You little cubs, you actually doubted me just now... If I didn't ambush you, could the Six-Faced Musk Deer be solved so easily this time?"

"If only two incarnations died, the Six-Faced Musk Deer would definitely not be able to help but go to the present world to take a look. But if you guys had fought off four or five incarnations in one go, it would have to heal its wounds before wanting to return to the present world... Hey? You guys be honest, don't shake! It's not easy to aim!"

After shouting twice toward the cliff, asking the directors to keep their bodies stable, the Third-Generation old man glanced at Leon who was silently reloading behind him, then smiled and shouted toward the cliff:

"Although you guys didn't die, you might not all be saved. After killing the Six-Faced Musk Deer, that someone only has two nails left in his hand, and can save at most two people."

"As for the remaining two, they have to continue floating below, and only have a chance to be saved after he kills two more Pillar Gods... So what do you say? Which two come up?"
