Chapter 1356: We soldiers may die in battle! But we cannot take millions to their deaths!

Xia Na whispered in surprise: "That strong?"

Su Yang emphasized: "These are only the experts discovered by the Storm Eagle! They likely have even more powerful cultivators, most likely not from our Water Blue Planet."

Sovereign Jiazi asked: "Then what should we do?"

Su Yang narrowed his eyes: "I'm thinking whether to kill them all!"

Xia Na said: "Maybe they mean no harm?"

"Xia Na, you're being too optimistic. Clearly, their strength likely far exceeds our Water Blue Planet's. The combat disparity is too great—if the gap becomes too wide, the Dagailu Society will likely attack us." Here, Sovereign Jiazi shrugged and mocked, "Unless they're Confucianists… or they themselves lack nothing!"

"If they meant no harm, they wouldn't have lingered here or gathered so many Yushoushi Society experts!" Su Yang added, "My view aligns with Sovereign Jiazi's—they're most likely here with hostile intent. Seeing Xiao Shan also said that Yushoushi Society cultivators from the Beast Great World enjoy raiding; it's a world of survival of the fittest."

"So what does General Su plan to do?"

In the end, Su Yang was still their pillar.

"Return and report to the General Headquarters, have them prepare, then I'll attempt to pass through that space fusion point, enter that world, and probe the intentions of these people from their side!"

Sovereign Jiazi asked curiously: "Why not just capture a prisoner here?"

"No, there are too few of them here. If I grab one, they'll notice!" Su Yang shook his head, "These people have at least two Emperor-ranked Yushoushi Society cultivators; their behind-the-scenes power must be immense. Whether we're discovered or wipe them out, that power will notice us. To investigate their intentions without a trace, it's easier within the Beast Great World."

"Right now, I just want to buy as much time as possible, give us more time to prepare—you understand?"

Sovereign Jiazi asked again: "What if you're discovered when you go over?"

"The probability is low. Void Wandering Spirits are powerful. If we're truly spotted, then we act immediately—that's the worst-case scenario!"

"Our current strength probably can't beat them!"

Sovereign Jiazi said dejectedly.

She spoke the truth—their vanguard alone had at least two Emperor-ranked Yushoushi Society cultivators.

There might even be Divine-ranked Yushoushi Society cultivators appearing.

The probability of our Huaxia Federation winning is low.

Su Yang smiled: "Don't worry—even if the worst happens, I still have a trump card!"

"Oh? Really?"

"Of course it's real!"

"You mean the Hellblood Vine Flower?"

"Mm." Su Yang nodded. "Let's go back!"

After securing the Storm Eagle, Su Yang quickly led Sovereign Jiazi and Xia Na away from Antarctica.

After reporting the matter to Marshal Xu, Marshal Xu rubbed his increasingly thinning scalp and let out a heavy sigh.

Even upon learning of the Yushoushi Society cultivators from another world, Marshal Xu wasn't overly alarmed. After lighting a cigarette, he gazed out the window and said slowly: "Actually, someone from the Strategy Bureau had already raised this possibility earlier."

"Mm."

Su Yang wasn't surprised.

The people in the Strategy Bureau weren't just dead weight.

They might be weak in strength, but their minds were sharp.

Even in this world overrun by beasts, those with sharp minds still had their place.

"The comrades in the Strategy Bureau also believe that if the combat disparity is extreme, they likely won't have good intentions—after all, weakness invites beating!"

"Did they come up with a strategy then?"

Marshal Xu grimaced: "If their terms are acceptable, we just surrender!"

"Huh? So straightforward?"

Was this really the Huaxia he imagined—the iron-willed, unyielding Huaxia?

"Exactly that straightforward!" Marshal Xu chuckled bitterly. "They believe that if the disparity is truly extreme and we have no hope of victory, and their terms aren't excessively harsh, then we should surrender outright and secure the best possible treatment…"
