Su Mo did not go to the Heavenly Gate again. That was not his goal.
Although he knew of the Heavenly Gate's existence, he had never harbored any other thoughts about it.
Nor could he take everyone from the Peerless Divine Gate and leave the Heavenly Soul Source World just like that.
Now that he knew what level of Soul Clan experts guarded the Heavenly Gate, that was enough.
He once again arrived in that vast forest, the place where he had secretly met with Ye Ying and the others last time.
Ye Ying was the first to appear. Soon after, Xing Jiong, Feng Xueji, Wu Kong, and Suo Shuo appeared before Su Mo one after another.
"The Soul Clan army has already left!"
Su Mo swept his gaze across the five of them and spoke gravely.
"Sect Master Su, what do you plan to do?" Ye Ying asked first.
"Probe them."
Su Mo's gaze passed over the five of them one by one as he continued, "The Soul Clan may have left behind powerful forces to suppress the various rebellious factions and deal with all manner of sudden developments. But there is one thing in which we hold the initiative: the Soul Clan does not know our objective. Therefore, if we are to act, we must first probe them—probe just how strong the forces they left behind truly are!"
"How much time do we have?" Wu Kong asked.
This was also crucial. If the Soul Clan army returned in merely two or three days, then they would not have enough time.
"We should have plenty of time. I estimate that in this War of the Entire Clan, even if everything goes smoothly, the Soul Clan will find it difficult to return in less than a month," Su Mo said
