Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: The Situation is Getting Bad_1

After sitting down, Wisdom Brown immediately took out an Immortal Artifact.

Peter recognized it at a glance as an Immortal Artifact used for communication in the Immortal Realm called an Image Device. This thing was much more awesome than those transmission equipment used by mortals. Even if one went to a distant star planet, leaving this one far behind, this device could still transmit messages powered by energy, as long as there was energy to facilitate the transmission.

Looking up for a while, Peter raised his head and turned to Wisdom Brown.

With a sigh, Wisdom Brown said, "You’ve seen it too; Our Beast Sect had a thousand people returning home this time, split across ten flying vehicles. The subordinate Sects also returned individually. However, all the returning Sects have already been attacked—it was a coordinated assault with substantial forces, and the losses were heavy."

"What about the Ghost Expelling Sect?" Peter had not yet seen the situation of the Ghost Expelling Sect.

Shaking his head, Wisdom Brown said, "I’ve only received news about the current attacks. As for the Ghost Expelling Sect, I haven’t received any reports yet. Nevertheless, given the Demon Sect’s current situation, it’s unlikely they would spare any faction’s power."

Peter began to worry about Harry White, who had been genuinely good to him. Peter didn’t want him to come to any harm.

Remembering that he had given Harry a set of the Devouring Technique, Peter felt somewhat relieved. As long as no very strong individual targeted him, Harry should be fine.

Knowing that Peter was concerned about his family members, Wisdom continued, "You can rest a little easier about this. From the nature of these attacks, they are dispatching considerable personnel to carry them out. No Experts of the Heavenly Sovereign Level have appeared, and encounters with the Profound Immortal Level individuals are rare—and even when they do appear, it’s only a few at most. Given the situation of the Ghost Expelling Sect, those at the Profound Immortal Level don’t pose a significant threat to them."

Peter said, "From this standpoint, it seems their experts are all waiting for us?"

"Exactly, that’s what I feel. The Higher-Ups have also analyzed it. They estimate that the enemy has concentrated their greatest power to strike us specifically," Wisdom explained.

"What do you think their plan of action will be?"

By now, Peter had also become accustomed to his identity and spoke to Wisdom more as an equal.

After pondering for a moment, Wisdom replied, "If I were them and I wanted to attack the enemy, I would likely start by picking off their weakest elements first."

Peter nodded and said, "They must already be aware of our personnel distribution. They couldn’t possibly let our ten returning teams off the hook."

"So, they are also clear about the strength of our ten returning teams. To be frank, our team here is actually the weakest!"

Upon hearing this from Wisdom, Peter’s expression grew more intense, "Are you suggesting that we are their primary target?"

Nodding, Wisdom said, "After our Beast Sect disciples entered the Divine Consciousness Battlefield, we suffered heavy losses. It’s not really that we are the worst; the key issue is we’ve lost thirteen people at the Profound Immortal Level, right?"

"Are you saying that we also have their people among us?"

"It’s not easy to say, but it’s unavoidable!"

"However, I’ve already set up a shield. It shouldn’t be so easy for their communications to get out."

Seeing Wisdom uncertain, Peter understood that even Wisdom did not have confidence in blocking all outgoing information.

After a moment’s thought, Peter said, "I managed to kill thirteen at the Profound Immortal Level, and they probably know it by now. Since that’s the case, I don’t think they’ll attack us first."

Wisdom said, "I’ve blocked the news about your subsequent actions; they wouldn’t know about that. However, the fact that you used a Soul Attack to kill people has probably leaked out. They don’t take a Soul Attacker too seriously; with the right preparations and a number of Immortal Artifacts, it’s possible to defend against Soul Attacks."

"Let them come then; I would like to see just how strong they really are!"

"By the way, I’ve reported your slaying of thirteen people to the Sect, and the recordings of the battle have been transmitted back. The Sect has already issued its judgment on the incident. You were attacked unprovoked, so you were not at fault and will not be held accountable. Now you can truly rest easy."

Knowing that Wisdom likely had a hand in the outcome, Peter was still grateful.

"Thanks a lot."

"Now we are in this together. Although I do not know the extent of your combat strength, when it’s a matter of survival, we still need you to take action," Wisdom expressed his thoughts.

"Rest assured, if they truly intend to attack us, I’ll make sure they won’t return."

Wisdom then smiled and nodded, "With your words, I am relieved."

While they were talking, a new message came through on the Image Device. Wisdom’s face changed as he said, "It’s coming!"

Peter saw that one of the Flight Teams above was under attack; then, an entire team from the Beast Sect was completely annihilated.

Looking at the star coordinates, Peter realized the destroyed team was exactly in the direction their flying vehicle was heading.

At this point, Wisdom said sternly, "They’ve started their movements, and our route has become their primary target."

Peter pondered for a while, "It will take half a day to approach that area; do you think they will be waiting there?"

"Definitely!"

Wisdom replied with a heavy voice.

"Why would you think that?" Peter was still skeptical about Wisdom’s statement.

"If it were before, they would definitely avoid us, but now, given the situation of Our Beast Sect, this time it’s not a matter of attacking just one team. The attacks are happening simultaneously. The initial assault has ended and Our Beast Sect has suffered great losses. Didn’t you see? Three from the Heavenly Sovereign Layer have already fallen in battle. What does that tell you? It shows they’ve gathered Experts of the Heavenly Sovereign Level everywhere to besiege Our Beast Sect’s individuals at that layer; there definitely must be quite a few at the Profound Immortal Level too."

Peter looked back at Wisdom, who was visibly anxious, concerned for his own safety.

Seeing the change in Wisdom’s demeanor upon learning that people from the Heavenly Sovereign Layer had perished, Peter smiled and offered, "You stay and guard the flying vehicle. I’ll handle the combat."

Wisdom’s eyes brightened at that moment as he happily responded, "Okay, I’ll leave the outside battle entirely to you."

"It’s no big deal; I’ll handle however many come our way."

Having known the strength of the enemy, Peter felt genuinely unconcerned.
