If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

"Ancestor, the leader is right! This is absolutely unacceptable!"

The Second Elder, who had already been struck by Luo Jue, finally spoke up again: "We don't even know who our enemy is yet. If we directly trigger Black Rock's ultimate attack and that other one, we will expose our biggest trump card!"

Upon hearing the Second Elder's words, a murderous glint flashed in Luo Jue's eyes. He abruptly turned to look at the Second Elder and asked, "What did you say? What do you know?"

"Ancestor!"

At this point, the Second Elder no longer wanted to hide anything: "Regarding Black Rock's Absolute Kill and that person's existence, it's not just me; everyone in the Elder Council knows about it. I suggest we don't mobilize them for now!"

"Oh? So what's your idea?"

The patriarch walked towards the second elder and stood directly in front of him. The magical fluctuations in his hands were so strong that even others could feel them!

"Ancestor, I suggest we first try to find out which faction the other side belongs to. I believe that such a large-scale attack could not have been carried out by a small faction!"

Faced with the undisguised killing intent of Ancestor Luo Jue, the Second Elder straightened his back and said, "Let's see what kind of force the other party is. If it is just an ordinary force and we are sure that there are no other forces monitoring us, then we will use our trump card to kill them in one blow!"

If the opponent is too strong, then let the gang leader take the brothers and our trump cards and escape through the secret passage of the castle. In the future, we will find a way to rebuild our Black Rock Gang..."

"Shit!"

Before the Second Elder could finish speaking, the Ancestor finally made his move. With a heavy fire element, Luo Jue struck the Second Elder in the abdomen with a palm strike, knocking him to the ground and causing him to vomit blood!

"Damn it, you haven't even met the other person yet and you're already saying such discouraging things. Do you really want to die? In that case, I'll grant your wish!"

As he spoke, fire magic elements gathered once again in Luo Jue's right hand!

"Ancestor, you mustn't!"

"Ancestor, the Second Elder's crime does not warrant death!"

"Ancestor, now is the time when we need manpower!"

Upon seeing that Luo Jue was truly intent on killing, the elders shouted in unison!

Seeing that several elders had started shouting, especially a few elders who were not surnamed Luo and had a hint of pain in their eyes, Luo Jue's eyes darted around!

"For the sake of the elders, I'll spare you today. Now I'll give you a chance. Didn't you want to investigate the other side's strength? Now take three, five, six, seven, or four elders to the outer perimeter to investigate their strength!"

Hearing that the patriarch had finally spared the Second Elder and even seemed to have adopted the Second Elder's suggestion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone knew that the Second Elder had made great contributions to the Black Rock Gang, and it would be very disheartening if he had really been killed!

When the Second Elder, who was lying on the ground, heard the Ancestor's words, a resolute look appeared in his eyes!

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on this matter today?"

After walking for a long time from the main hall, almost reaching the castle gates where the sounds of battle were deafening, the Second Elder suddenly stopped and said to the elders who were following him!

"Second Elder, what do you mean by this? Why did you stop? Didn't you say that we needed to investigate the other party's background as quickly as possible?"

Seeing that the Second Elder had suddenly stopped and asked what they thought, the Seventh Elder asked in confusion!

"Hmph, I was just saying that to Luo Jue, because I was afraid he would suddenly change his mind and not let us out!"

The second elder snorted coldly, but as he did so, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Second Elder, you mean..."

The Fifth Elder pondered for a moment and said, "Does the Ancestor want us to die?"

"Not bad!"

The Second Elder nodded: "I have always felt that although the Black Rock Gang has many shortcomings, I have devoted a hundred years of my life to it, and I must watch it grow stronger!"

However, Luo Jue's words today made me realize that the Black Rock Gang belongs to the Luo family, and no matter what we do, the Black Rock Gang will never be ours.

"Second Elder, that was just something the Ancestor said in a fit of anger, so please don't take it to heart!"

The Seventh Elder offered words of comfort.

"No!"

The Second Elder shook his head: "Seventh Brother, among us, you are the least likely to use your brain. You didn't realize that after Luo Jue knew that all of us elders knew about Black Rock Absolute Kill and that person's existence, he harbored murderous intent towards us!"

However, he didn't dare to kill us personally. After all, such things can't be kept secret forever. If all five of us elders died at Luo Jue's hands, what would the gang members think?

So, Luo Jue came up with this plan. He ordered the five of us to go and gather information about the enemy, which was really sending us to our deaths!

"I also have this feeling!"

The Third Elder, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up: "Ever since the Second Elder revealed that we all knew about that matter, I've sensed something was off about Luo Jue's aura. It seems he harbored murderous intent towards us back then!"

"I agree!" The Sixth Elder and the Fifth Elder were brothers. He glanced at the Fifth Elder and said, "But I don't understand the point of Luo Jue doing this. How can he be sure that we can all die at the hands of the enemy?"

"He doesn't need us all to die at the hands of the enemy!"

The Second Elder shook his head: "This is a two-birds-with-one-stone plan of his. When we go to gather information, one or two of us will inevitably die, and he can then personally deal with the remaining two or three!"

"Do it yourself?"

The Fifth Elder asked in confusion, "Didn't you just say that he was afraid of making people feel disheartened and dared not take action?"

"This time, that time!"

The second elder explained, "If the other side is very powerful, at least three of us will die. The remaining two will go back to report the news. At that time, he will choose to escape through the secret passage. Since he is going to escape anyway, he will not care about the opinions of the gang members and will kill the messengers at any time!"

"If the enemy isn't strong enough, and he actually wins this battle, he can easily accuse the remaining elders of treason and kill us. Don't forget, his order just now was to infiltrate the enemy camp to gather intelligence!"

"Then he can just say he secretly went to the enemy camp during wartime, and that one sentence will be enough to solidify our crime of colluding with the enemy!"

At this point, the Second Elder shook his head: "Alas, I have dedicated a hundred years of my best years to such a person. It is truly disheartening!"

"No wonder, no wonder!"

After hearing the Second Elder's analysis, the Third Elder suddenly realized, "No wonder he sent out all of us non-family elders. So that's what he was thinking. Hmph, Second Elder, you are our strategist. Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this matter?"

"solve?"

The Second Elder nodded: "Of course there is a solution. Luo Jue's biggest mistake was underestimating my wisdom. Let's go to the enemy camp!"
