Chapter 2388: We Bet on Him to Win!

If Taotie could use a faint trace of the Chaos Gourd's aura to create another Chaos Gourd, it might draw out the Heavenly Pillar Xuanwu.

But despite searching every corner of the Demon-Subduing Mountain, the Ten Ferocious Beasts still could not find that trace of aura.

"The Heaven-Earth-Xuan-Huang Linglong Pagoda cannot be used! Now we can't even make a Chaos Gourd! Are they trying to exterminate our Ferocious Beast clan?" Tengshe spat in fury.

Zhu Yan's expression was grim, yet he remained composed.

We endured imprisonment in the Demon-Subduing Mountain for a thousand years—why rush now?

"Think of another way!"

"There must be a way."

The aura of the Chaos Gourd once existed in the Demon-Subduing Mountain, but now it is nearly impossible to find.

No matter how Zhu Yan and the others search, if they wish to find it now, there is only one possibility: they must wait patiently.

Presumably, the object inside the rock cave might act faster, but they have not yet had time to retrieve it.

In this regard, the situation in the Demon-Subduing Mountain indeed forces them into a difficult choice.

Tengshe asked: "But they don't know anything either—if they truly knew, wouldn't they have changed things? How could we fail to find it?"

"No, they won't."

Zhu Yan was certain of this.

Taotie's replication ability is exceptionally powerful; it is precisely because of this ability that the Ten Ferocious Beasts have survived within the entire Demon-Subduing Mountain.

To attract the Heavenly Pillar Xuanwu, one must see what force might draw him.

"If the Heavenly Pillar Xuanwu wished to come, he could come—but the likelihood of him doing so is low, and his willingness to act is even lower."

"How do you know this?"

"Because he did exactly this before—and now they can handle it the same way."

The struggle between Bai Ze and the Heavenly Pillar Xuanwu extends beyond this point; the first thing they must leverage, for Bai Ze, offers him far more varied options.

Likewise, Bai Ze also hopes the demonic race can achieve what they desire.

"But the demonic race's actions defy their intentions!"

"Exactly—only the Ten Ferocious Beasts can act. Only we can move; the demonic race, even if they wish to act, must first consult with them!"

Few consider these matters, and what they wish to know is not much.

Luo Fu's appearance better confirms that all they currently need—though Luo Fu may not necessarily change their fate, he is now the best choice.

Luo Fu knows that each of them has placed their bets.

They want to gamble on who will win!

Ancestor Minghe is also seeking a solution, but he knows nothing of the Chaos Gourd.

"Once the Ancient Buddha acts, the Demon-Subduing Mountain will never again be peaceful—we must lure them away; as long as they don't come, there will be no problem!"

"But wasn't it said? The Two Western Saints are right here—how do we lure them away?"

Whether viewed from any angle, Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti hold no moral ground.

Many likely wish to do this—he should have chosen this path from the start. For instance, with all this before them, they must first gain a full understanding.

The Ten Ferocious Beasts must know what to do—they must interact with these people, more than they ever imagined before.

The appearance of the Ancient Buddha jolted every soul in the Demon-Subduing Mountain awake.
