Chapter 739: Chapter 662 The Calm Before the Storm_4

"Yes."

Although Ye Yan also felt that focusing their time and energy on purging the Flame River Dao at this time was somewhat misplaced, he believed that the Supreme Elder would not jeopardize his own safety or the future of the Creation Gate for a mere jest.

Gu Jinlai once again took out a Qiankun Ring, "This contains Spirit Crystals I brought from the Longevity World. Continue to produce the Cheng Ying Mecha at full speed and vigorously train the disciples of the Divine Martial Peak. You have already experienced the power the Cheng Ying Mecha can unleash during a siege. As long as we can withstand the Mo Family’s next moves, the rise of the Creation Gate will pave the way smoothly. By then, the only thing limiting our expansion will not be external forces, but the manufacturing efficiency of our Cheng Ying Mecha."

"I understand, I will personally escort it back to the Creation Gate," Ye Yan stated solemnly.

Gu Jinlai nodded.

"Supreme Elder, regarding this purge of the Flame River Dao, the involvement of both the Dragon Sword Sect and the Wind and Rain Tower seems inevitable. May I ask what your plans are for these two forces?" Yun Fenglei asked.

"Not just the Dragon Sword Sect," Gu Jinlai said, "You should ask how we will deal with the other forces of the Flame River Dao."

Yun Fenglei was slightly startled, then his pupils contracted, "Supreme Elder intends to... strike against all forces of the Flame River Dao!? This... if anything goes wrong, it might provoke a full-scale backlash from many powers of the Flame River Dao..."

"A full-scale backlash? Not necessarily! We just need to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and then the other Sects will naturally make the right choice," Gu Jinlai said.

"This..."

Yun Fenglei was about to dissuade him, as Gu Jinlai’s insistence on purging the Flame River Dao amidst the impending large-scale moves from the Mo Family could provoke all the powers of the Flame River Dao to view the Creation Gate as an enemy. By then, the Creation Gate would not only face the Mo Family but would also need to be cautious of other powers causing trouble.

Truly dealing with the other Sects should wait until after withstanding the Mo Family’s actions.

But before he could speak, Ye Yan said, "It seems the Venerable Daoist has his considerations; we must have faith in the Supreme Elder."

Gu Jinlai looked at Ye Yan and nodded, saying, "I indeed intend to provoke these forces to act before the Mo Family makes its move, much better than having them pull our legs at the critical moment of our conflict with the Mo Family."

"It’s just... too risky..."

Yun Fenglei said with a bitter smile.

"Risky, not necessarily," Gu Jinlai shook his head, "The power of the Major Sects is actually built upon their Grotto Heavens. In other words, they are sufficient in defense but significantly lacking in offense; thus, there’s no need to imagine them as too powerful."

This was a common illness throughout the Profound Immortal Realm.

Away from their Grotto Heavens, the destructive power of True Immortals from the Profound Immortal Realm was nowhere close to that of the True Immortals from the Longevity World.

"Alright, expedite the purge of the Flame River Dao, starting with the Dragon Sword Sect. Members of the Heavenly Fire Sect must have fled there, such harboring must be questioned," Gu Jinlai said.

Yun Fenglei, Zhong Shu, and others exchanged glances and did not stop him anymore but said, "We will arrange the personnel right away to coordinate with the Supreme Elder’s purging action."

...

In the Northern Territory of the Profound Immortal Realm, the situation surged due to the fall of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

At the same time, the atmosphere was also tense within the Star Shining Federation on the Blue Star.

...

Apocalypse Project Team.

President Edward, with a stern expression, asked his deputy team leader Lao Keren, "Still no contact with Zhang Yun, Adren, Olson, and others from the Longevity World?"

"Yes, Mr. President, ever since they sent a message saying they had been attacked by a suspected True Immortal and needed to evacuate immediately, we’ve lost contact for several months... Either they haven’t yet stabilized to rebuild a communication system to contact us, or... the outlook is grim," Lao Keren replied immediately.

"The outlook is grim!"

Edward was somewhat irate, "Those people from the Longevity World really have some nerve, such actions, this is declaring war on our Star Shining Federation, on our Blue Star Race!" After saying this, he couldn’t help but recall the data regarding the combat strength of the True Immortal sent by Zhang Yun and others at the time of their disappearance, that level of strength...

Edward gradually calmed down.

His glance shifted to the other significant figures in the conference room.

"Gentlemen, perhaps... we need to expand our military capabilities in preparation for the potential outbreak of war,"
