### Chapter 323: Bai Ze Captured, the Beast Clan with No Plans
Potential Dragon Continent.
“Boom!”
A seal comparable to a small mountain smashed down, interrupting Bai Ze, who was traversing the Void.
In a moment, over ten experts had surrounded Bai Ze.
“Bai Ze, under this Broken Heavenly Seal, your array techniques are useless.”
“Do you have any last words before you d*e?”
Seeing that they were already trapped, Bai Ze simply gave up resistance and sat down on the ground, saying, “I’m no match for you, so there’s nothing much to say.”
“If you’re going to strike, do it quickly and give me a swift end.”
“However, there’s something I must inform you: I didn’t bring any clues about Qiongqi Tomb with me.”
“And all those treasures I’ve collected, I left them behind as well.”
“You’re all so clever; surely after killing me, you can find these things quickly.”
Hearing this, the Jiaolong in front of Bai Ze snorted coldly and said, “You’re being overly naïve. Do you really think that I won’t be able to deal with you just because you won’t speak?”
As he spoke, a powerful spiritual sense began to invade Bai Ze’s sea of consciousness, while the experts restricted Bai Ze’s cultivation.
“Boom!”
A powerful surge of spiritual sense erupted from Bai Ze’s sea of consciousness.
Three phantoms appeared above Bai Ze.
One of the phantoms was towering, and merely a glance from it could instill fear in all beasts.
In addition to this imposing figure, there was another phantom elegantly dressed and crowned, who only smiled slightly in response to such an invasion.
However, among the three phantoms, the last was the most terrifying.
Without unleashing powerful pressure, it quietly observed the surrounding spirits, seemingly remembering each of the spirits present.
Seeing that the old Jiaolong had suffered a big loss, Bai Ze felt triumphant.
“Why do you think you can use spiritual sense to search me?”
“I am the auspicious beast Bai Ze, a member of the divine beast ranks, alright!”
“Is the sea of consciousness of a divine beast so easy to invade?”
In response to Bai Ze’s words, the expressions of the surrounding beasts immediately darkened.
Bai Ze had previously been close to the Undertaker, and both Emperor Huangtian and the Jade Emperor had connections with the Undertaker.
This meant Bai Ze would inevitably know many secrets of the Undertaker.
The Undertaker had long anticipated such a situation, so Bai Ze’s sea of consciousness contained methods left by the Jade Emperor and Emperor Huangtian.
The techniques left by the two ancient Heavenly Mandate Holders were not something that ordinary individuals could forcefully breach.
Moreover, the Undertaker had also left behind methods.
If they really pushed hard, the Undertaker might sense everything happening here.
If that happened, it wouldn’t be a favorable situation for them.
Thinking of this, someone from the Three-Eyed Divine Clan stated, “Bai Ze, let’s be honest; there’s no need to waste time.”
“Tell us, what will it take for you to reveal the clues to Qiongqi Tomb?”
Hearing this, Bai Ze replied, “It’s simple; just take me along to explore Qiongqi Tomb.”
“I originally planned to keep it all to myself, but now that I’ve been captured, I accept my fate.”
Upon hearing this, before the members of the Three-Eyed Divine Clan could respond, the Jiaolong next to them exploded in rage, “Dream on!”
“Qiongqi Tomb is the treasure of the Beast Clan; how could it be something you can touch?”
“Hand over the clues to Qiongqi Tomb and the stolen treasures, and I can make your d*ath a little faster; otherwise, I’ll ensure you wish for d*ath but cannot achieve it.”
As these words were spoken, Bai Ze’s temper flared up.
Lying comfortably on the ground, Bai Ze shouted, “Come on, come on, k*ll me!”
“If I frown even slightly, I’ll go serve as your watchdog.”
Seeing Bai Ze’s behavior, the Jiaolong immediately moved to attack Bai Ze.
However, before the Jiaolong could act, it was stopped by the nearby Peacock.
“Enough, how long do you intend to keep this up?”
“At this level, torture is completely useless. If it were you, would you speak?”
“We’re short on time, and we don’t have the luxury to toy with it.”
Hearing the Peacock’s words, the Jiaolong shot a glare at Bai Ze on the ground and then said, “Then what do you propose?”
In response, the Peacock looked at Bai Ze on the ground and said, “You can steal treasures from multiple clans, and your methods are indeed remarkable.”
“Hand over the clues to Qiongqi Tomb and the things you’ve stolen, and we’ll let you go.”
“Absolutely not.”
“I’ve put in so much effort; I don’t want it to come to nothing.”
“I can return the items to you, but I must go to Qiongqi Tomb.”
“If you don’t agree, just go ahead and k*ll me; I won’t oppose it.”
Looking at Bai Ze lying there like a piece of meat, the Peacock furrowed its brow.
“To incite everyone’s anger and still be able to survive is already quite a feat. Even if we allow you to explore Qiongqi Tomb—”
“You don’t really think we would coexist peacefully, do you?”
“I know; in the end, you’ll certainly team up to k*ll me, but I’ll also have the chance to explore Qiongqi Tomb.”
“Qiongqi Tomb isn’t a place you can just enter at will; it’s obviously dangerous.”
“Once inside, you may not have the chance to k*ll me.”
“When the time comes, who survives naturally depends on one’s own abilities.”
The beasts and members of the Divine Clan found themselves in a difficult position.
Soon, the five major Beast Clans and the Divine Clan gathered together.
A member of the Three-Eyed Divine Clan spoke first, “Everyone, we see the situation as it is; what do you all think?”
Hearing this, the Jiaolong immediately responded, “Of course we can’t agree. If we do, where would the faces of the Beast Clan and Divine Clan be placed?”
In response, a Heavenly Silkworm spoke up.
“But if we don’t negotiate, we’ll have no way to handle Bai Ze in the short term.”
“The Undertaker has been missing in the Upper Realm for over three thousand years without showing up; now that Bai Ze is trapped, he will definitely come out.”
“His strength is one thing, but his strategies—many of you should have heard of them.”
“Twice on the Ascension Road and the battle in the Lower Realm for the sealing of deities; he has been present in every major conflict.”
“The number of spirits that have died in those three wars cannot simply be described by a mountain of corpses and a sea of bl**d.”
“The Undertaker hiding in the shadows is far more terrifying than appearing openly.”
“My Heavenly Silkworm Clan does not wish to be personally sent to the grave by the Undertaker.”
Upon hearing this, the spirits present fell silent.
If they engaged head-on, they might not fear the Undertaker.
After all, everyone had stood in the Upper Realm for so many years, so there was naturally some confidence and strength.
The problem, however, was that only a few knew of the Undertaker’s whereabouts.
He was like a ghost hiding in the shadows; you could never know how he would appear before you.
After a moment, the Peacock spoke up, “Our immediate priority is not to consider the Undertaker, but to obtain clues from Bai Ze.”
“Though the Undertaker isn’t simple, we are not easy to provoke either.”
“The Upper Realm is not the Lower Realm; the Undertaker’s foundation is not deeply rooted, and it won’t be that easy for him to target us.”
“So we need to take decisive action and secure Qiongqi Tomb before he has a chance to react.”
