This sounded like a good tactic and Patriarch Xue Pao successfully persuaded the Beast Deity Cult's leader once more.
"Alright, Patriarch Xue Pao, I'll believe you one more time. But I'll be brutally blunt here. If things go awry one more time, I won't be seeking your opinion on how to do things from now on, do you understand? Also, now that my vice leader is dead, you will be my vice leader."
Patriarch Xue Pao agreed.
He had to. As the Beast Deity Cult was still useful to him, he couldn't fall out with them yet.
In addition, if it weren't for the Beast Deity Cult's Hell's Cage, he wouldn't be able to come out of that underground cave either.
And so, they waited patiently.
They didn't even budge when the water level had passed over their heads.
Because with their cultivation level and strength, they could even go to sleep under the deepest ocean.
