Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 579 - 523: The Rescue Plan

Although the power of the Ten Thousand Zhang Heart Demon is incredibly terrifying, the benefits it offers are also tangible.

Chu Chen felt the surging Soul Power within him, and his eyes were filled with joy.

In stark contrast to Chu Chen’s current mood were Long Batian and the others.

At this moment, outside the cultivation room, over a thousand people were gathered, almost everyone from the base was concentrated here.

"Elder Long, let us go in and have a look, it’s been seven days already." Shi Feng spoke with a tone full of pleading.

Long Batian fell into a brief silence upon hearing this, then he responded with a hoarse voice, "No, barging in recklessly could potentially disturb Chu Chen’s tribulation crossing, and that Heart Demon Tribulation is extremely terrifying. Even behind a door, I’ve been affected multiple times. Let’s wait a bit longer, I believe Chu Chen will make it through, after all, he’s created countless miracles along the way; this time should be no exception." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into silence. After Elder Li’s explanation, they learned that Heart Demon Tribulations typically end within a day, even a Second-Level Heart Demon Tribulation wouldn’t last more than two days. But Chu Chen had already been in the cultivation room for a full week. Even though a Third-Level Heart Demon Tribulation is extremely terrifying, this tribulation crossing time was excessively long.

In everyone’s view, there was an eighty percent chance that Chu Chen had already perished, otherwise, he should have transcended the Heart Demon Tribulation by now.

Looking at the silent crowd, a trace of pain appeared on Long Batian’s face.

He actually understood well that Chu Chen’s chances of passing the Ten Thousand Zhang Heart Demon Tribulation were very slim, but he dared not open that door, because as long as the door remained closed, Chu Chen still had the possibility of overcoming the Ten Thousand Zhang Heart Demon Tribulation.

Although this approach was somewhat self-deceiving, it was the only thing he could do for now.

Just when everyone was emotionally distressed, a creaking sound was heard.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone immediately focused their eyes on the entrance of the cultivation room, their expressions solemn without showing any sign of joy.

Failure in the Emperor Tribulation would result in two outcomes: first, the Beast Master’s soul is directly devoured by the heart demon, leading to complete death.

Second, the Beast Master would be tormented into a mental breakdown and madness, influenced by the heart demon, they would launch indiscriminate attacks on the surrounding things.

Given Chu Chen’s strength, if he indeed went berserk, perhaps no one could stop him.

Chu Chen slowly walked out of the cultivation room, looking at the vigilant crowd, he asked in puzzlement, "What are you guys doing?"

On hearing this, everyone immediately sighed in relief, followed by an uproarious cheer.

"Did you really succeed in crossing the tribulation?" Long Batian grabbed Chu Chen’s shoulders, asking excitedly.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Fortunately, this Third-Level Emperor Tribulation was even more terrifying than I imagined."

"Haha, it’s good that you made it through, come, let me treat you to a feast, today we won’t leave until we’re drunk." Long Batian laughed heartily.

"Alright, we might as well discuss how to rescue the Alliance Leader."

Upon hearing this, the crowd became extremely excited, clamoring to join in the feast.

Today, Long Batian was extremely happy, and naturally, he agreed to everyone’s requests.

Meanwhile, in the depths of Purple Bamboo Valley, the Purple Bamboo Demon King felt the dissipated heart demon, its body trembling uncontrollably.

A moment later, the Purple Bamboo Demon King issued an order, instructing all Purple Bamboo Demons not to approach that human base, nor to proactively attack humans in the future.

A Third-Rank Emperor Level Purple Bamboo Demon asked in confusion, "King, why do you fear humans so much? From what I know, aside from that terrifying guy not long ago, the people in the base are not our match. Why do we have to be so cautious?"

The Purple Bamboo Demon King replied in a deep voice, "Remember that terrifying heart demon from a week ago?"

"Of course, in my inherited memory, such a heart demon has never appeared."

"That Ten Thousand Zhang Heart Demon Tribulation has dissipated."

"What? Dissipated?"

"Indeed, if I’m not mistaken, that heart demon tribulation belonged to that guy. Such a terrifying heart demon couldn’t do anything to him, it’s hard to imagine the level he will grow to."

"King, I will personally deliver the order, and if anyone harbors any illusions, I will not spare them."

At this time, Long Batian and the others had already raised their glasses to toast and bless Chu Chen.

After several rounds of drinking, Chu Chen finally shifted the topic to the rescue of Zhao Wudi.

"Do we know the current situation of the Alliance Leader?" Chu Chen asked seriously.

Long Batian sighed and said, "Alas! Lord Alliance Leader cares for the world, otherwise, how could he just sit and wait? But you don’t need to worry about his safety, I’ve got information that Sun Wenshan has merely placed the Alliance Leader under house arrest without doing anything excessive."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If the Alliance Leader were to be harmed, morale would undoubtedly plummet, and then how could he possibly cope?

Long Batian stared at Chu Chen, asking seriously, "What are your plans?"

Chu Chen paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "The agreed time has arrived. If we don’t contact him soon, he might take action against the Alliance Leader. I plan to exchange hostages with him, rescue the Alliance Leader first."

Long Batian decisively waved his hand and refused, "No, Sun Wenshan is not a kind person. After the hostage exchange, he would surely move to capture you, and by then, not only would we fail to rescue the Alliance Leader, you would also be put at risk."

Chu Chen did not explain; instead, he waved his hand to summon the Soul Suppressing Master.

Feeling the presence of the Soul Suppressing Master, everyone’s expressions became colorful, filled with shock, envy, jealousy, and longing.

"Is this a mid-Empire Level peak?" Long Batian asked somewhat uncertainly.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "This is the Guardian Beast I obtained by chance. Even if it’s no match for Sun Wenshan, escaping shouldn’t be a problem."

"It’s not that simple. Sun Wenshan is now the Alliance Hierarch, and he can mobilize a large number of forces to encircle and hunt us down. By then, we will have no escape."

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "Teacher, I have long considered this issue, and it’s not difficult to resolve."

Curious, Long Batian asked, "What’s your plan?"

"We just need to find a secluded place and limit the time, making it nearly impossible for Sun Wenshan to mobilize a large number of forces."

Long Batian nodded in satisfaction and said, "That sounds good. Since we get to decide the location for the hostage exchange, we can make some arrangements in advance. We should also put some effort into choosing the location."

The group then engaged in an intense discussion on the choice of the hostage exchange location and the post-exchange evacuation issues.

This discussion went on until late at night, and the group finally came up with an almost perfect plan.

First, regarding the hostage exchange location, the group decided to choose the Purple Luo Volcano in the extreme southern region.

The reasons were mainly twofold. First, the Purple Luo Volcano is remote enough; mobilizing a large number of forces is nearly impossible.

Second, Sun Wenshan’s strongest Guardian Beast is an Ice Element Beast, and the Purple Luo Volcano could weaken its strength.

Next, they decided to suppress the news, arriving at the Purple Luo Volcano in advance to make preparations.

Finally, a teleportation array would be established. After successfully exchanging the hostages, they would immediately leave via the teleportation array.

After drafting the plan, the group did not rush to leave but instead repeatedly deliberated the plan’s feasibility, proposing many contingency plans for unexpected situations.

Chu Chen did not feel the group was being overly cautious, as there was only one opportunity for the rescue, and being extra cautious was indeed necessary.
