"Today's menu: hot pot."

"Understood."

Chen Fan nodded lightly. This dovetailed with his plans. He had intended to clear out as many nearby Strange Entity Clans as possible over the next two years anyway. The only problem was that, at present, he only knew there were Strange Entity Clans dwelling on continents in these waters.

He did not know their exact coordinates.

Still—

"Crippled Monkey."

"Send a message to Good Cat Continent. Tell them we want to buy intelligence—the coordinates of every Strange Entity Clan they know of in the nearby waters." "Send this message to all the continents on friendly terms with us, too."

That meant the continents that had come to deliver congratulatory gifts.

"Have the Commerce Pavilion send out a Flying Boat squadron representing the Mortal Domain, with a Flying Boat carrying a Heavenly Dao Cannon providing support. Have them make every effort to communicate with the ruling power on that first-level continent and get a clear picture of its situation."

"Including the state of the front lines, local customs, and so on."

"Understood!"

Only after giving all these instructions did Chen Fan head behind Nameless Mountain. Although he did not want war, these second-level Strange Entity Clans would remain a hidden danger unless they were cleared out. Villains were always best strangled in their cradles.

These second-level Strange Entity Clans had to be wiped out, every last one.

But he knew nothing of their specific circumstances. Before going to war, there was a great deal of intelligence to gather.

He would take a look behind Nameless Mountain.

It had been a long time since his last visit.

Standing behind Nameless Mountain, Chen Fan looked at the dozens of neatly arranged Warehouses filled with eerie stones. A heartfelt smile finally appeared on his face. He liked arranging buildings in tidy rows.
