Chapter 611: The Rejected Plan

Inside the Dragon Group base, Long Jingtian looked at the intelligence reports before him and couldn't help but swallow hard. As expected of his master's sect; with just this one move, they had stirred the entire world into a state of turmoil.

The invasion by foreign forces had basically come to an end. After suffering massive losses, those forces would likely be forced to shrink back into their own lairs to lick their wounds for the next few years. The domestic forces that had colluded with those from abroad had also been largely purged during this great cleanup. Now that the vast majority of internal and external hidden dangers had been cleared, the next step was to seize the opportunity to develop in time during the Heaven and Earth Revival.

"The plan has been arranged, right?" Long Jingtian asked Situ, who was beside him.

"Everything has been arranged properly; now we are just waiting for those who went to the Dark World Exchange Conference to return. I don't know how things are going on their end," Situ replied.

Wisps of killing intent drifted from Situ's body, clearly a lingering aura from having experienced intense combat.

"Rest assured, with Lingyun watching over the exchange conference, there won't be any accidents. According to the information Meng Juan sent back, they have made the Holy See and S. H. I. E. L. D. suffer a great loss!" Long Jingtian said with a calm expression. "I am actually quite worried about Laogui's situation right now; I don't know how his injuries are."

"You know that guy Laogui; his vitality is so tenacious that even the two of us combined don't have half of his. Not to mention that a pharmacist from the Guardian Clan has stepped in, that guy won't have any issues. Besides, looking at him before, it seemed he had gained something. Perhaps, among the three of us, he will be the first to step into the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"Is that so? Then that can be considered a blessing in disguise." Hearing Situ say this, a hint of joy appeared on Long Jingtian's face.

On the nameless small island, the Peak Martial Duel had reached its final stage.

Everyone who appeared on the arena was a powerhouse at the Half-step Nascent Soul Realm. Currently, Busujima Saeko, Luo Yexi, and Alice occupied three of the spots on the arena. Meng Juan had previously consumed too much energy while dueling a Half-step Nascent Soul powerhouse from M Country and had to yield her spot. As for the old man Lingyun had seen earlier, he had used his profound cultivation to crush several powerhouses and firmly held one position.

There were only nine arenas for the Peak Martial Duel, and the Huaxia side occupied four of them; the outcome was already extremely obvious.

George looked at Busujima Saeko on the arena, his eyes filled with shock. He did not understand why this young girl with an R Country name was also someone by Lingyun's side. When he had dueled Busujima Saeko earlier, he had nearly been cleaved to death by her Samurai Sword. If not for the several powerful Scrolls he had for protection, he likely would have been left directly on the arena.

"Damn it, if the other side really has three peak powerhouses, my previous plan will be completely overturned. But if I don't make a move here, I'm afraid there won't be another chance. The Pope is currently severely injured and in seclusion for recovery, and the remaining Cardinals have formed a college to act on the Pope's authority. I don't know what they are thinking now." George looked at the three women on the stage, a flash of anxiety in his eyes.

"Lingyun, I felt that someone was staring at me with ill intent under the arena just now."

In the room where Lingyun and his group were staying, Luo Yexi said to Lingyun.

The Peak Martial Duel had already ended, and what followed was the division of various interests in the Dark World. Lingyun and his group had no interest in such bickering, so after saying goodbye to Meng Juan, they returned to their residence.

"Isn't that kind of thing normal? Not many of those people watching you under the arena have good intentions. After all, quite a few of their top experts were knocked down by you," Lingyun said.

"Brother, the people following me seem to have increased recently," Yese Xiayin said softly, moving closer to Lingyun.

"Someone is following you? Could it be people from the Holy See?" Lingyun's brows lifted slightly, his gaze falling directly on the Holy See.

"I think it's very likely. I felt that those who were spying on Xia Yin in the dark all carried powerful light energy. However, those people should be in the ocean fighting sharks right now," Nangong Nayue popped out from the Void and landed in front of Lingyun.

"It seems the Holy See still won't give up!" Chen Jing said with a frown. "I think if they want to make a move, they will definitely do it on our way back. Once we enter Huaxia territory, if they want to make a move, they will definitely be met with a strike from the entire China Dark World."

"With the strength we have shown now, do they still dare to make a move against us?" Su Wanyue asked.

"That is hard to say. After all, there must be some old immortals in the Holy See who don't know how many years they have lived. If they come forward, the Holy See will definitely make a move against us," Lingyun said. "We have to be on guard against this situation."

"Don't worry, if they dare to come, we will dare to kill them until not a single one remains!" Luo Yexi said confidently.

"Abandon the previous plan? Why?"

Inside the Holy See's station, George looked at the light screen in front of him in surprise. Appearing on the light screen was a man in armor; from his voice, one could tell that this man was not very old.

"I have seen records of the person who acted earlier in the Holy See's Secret Canon. He is not alone, but belongs to an unknown force. If we really execute the plan you mentioned, even if we succeed, given the personality of those people from Huaxia, they would definitely kill their way into the Holy See's Saint Domain again, even if it meant overturning the entire Saint Domain to save the person. Our Holy See, having lost contact with Heaven, cannot afford such a loss." The armored man's tone held some helplessness.

"Has the connection with Heaven still not been established?" George asked with a frown.

"No, we even sent out the signal that the Holy See was being destroyed, but Heaven still hasn't returned any information at all." The armored man shook his head. "By the way, there is one more thing for you to complete."

"What is it?"

"Regarding the death of Saint Son Joseph, I have already investigated it clearly. There are really quite a few people who acted in this. There are people from the Dark Council, people from Nanyang, and in the end, even that brat from the Hao Family took action. I will give you the list in a moment; as for the rest, you handle it yourself!"

"I understand. The glory of the Lord cannot be offended. I will let them know the wrath of the Holy See." George clenched his fists, presumably intending to vent the anger of his plan being rejected on others.
