The Ten Thousand Immortals Cult's Plans

As Chen Wanjun listened, he grew increasingly uneasy.

It was a matter of lying in wait for the prey.

They would set a trap and wipe out the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult in one fell swoop.

Then wouldn't a minor power like the Giant Whale Sect...

Chen Wanjun finally couldn't hold back.

"Group leader Tian, do you mean that our Giant Whale Sect is bait?"

Tian Yijing looked back at him and nodded.

"Yes, bait."

The conference hall fell silent for a few seconds.

Chen Wanjun digested the news.

The Giant Whale Sect was bait...

They were using the entire sect as bait?

This was a contest between major powers, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult was a first-rate evil cult.

Chen Wanjun couldn't help worrying.

The Giant Whale Sect was only a Secret Martial Arts sect. Could it really survive a contest like this?

Wouldn't it end up wiped out, just like the other Secret Martial Arts sects?

"Sect master Chen, there's no need to worry."

Tian Yijing saw through his thoughts and reassured him.

"Our Earth Condemnation Bureau has mobilized personnel as well."

She began listing the forces the Earth Dispatch Bureau had mobilized.

"We'll send thirty Human-Level Group teams, with five members each, including semi-cyborgs and Black Grade enhanced humans."

"Twenty Tiger-Level Group teams, five members each, all beginner-level complete cyborgs."

"Ten Dragon-Level Group teams, five members each, all advanced-level complete cyborgs."

"Five Ghost-Level Group teams, five members each, all top-level complete cyborgs."

With each statement, Chen Wanjun grew more astounded.

The Earth Dispatch Bureau had mobilized a considerably larger force than the Sturgeon Group.

"Plus three ultimate complete cyborgs," Tian Yijing said at last.

"And me, a Dawn Divine Machinist."

She raised her wrist, and the silver case attached to it by a chain trembled slightly.

"With us standing guard and the Sturgeon Group cooperating, you can all rest assured."

"No matter how rampant the evil cult is or what moves it makes."

"We will protect every one of you."

The Earth Dispatch Bureau was an official organization, after all.

With Tian Yijing giving the official assurance and such a massive force mobilized,

the people of the Giant Whale Sect were astounded, but also convinced.

This was the government, after all. Having made such a solemn promise, it presumably had complete confidence in wiping out the evil cult.

Thus, the people of the Giant Whale Sect had no further questions.

But Wang Yi'an, standing to the side, looked surprised after hearing Tian Yijing's words.

The Earth Dispatch Bureau had actually sent such a force. With those personnel and numbers, it had practically turned out in full strength.

It seemed the bureau really did regard the matter as extremely important and had resolved to eliminate the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult.

Tian Yijing was still speaking.

"The Ten Thousand Immortals Cult isn't an ordinary enemy. They're invaders from outside."

"They're scattered and their identities are concealed. It's extremely difficult to find them through conventional investigations."

"This gathering is one of the few chances we'll have to catch them all in one net. We must seize it."

She looked at Chen Wanjun and instructed him.

"Sect master Chen, your Giant Whale Sect's task is very simple."

"Cooperate with us fully."

"Just lure the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult's people in."

"Leave the rest to us."

"We will tear the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult out by the roots and restore peace and tranquility for all of you."

Meanwhile.

Atop a high-rise somewhere in downtown Jinghai City.

It was not far from the Giant Whale Sect's building. Even from a distance, its bright lights were visible.

The night wind blew fiercely across the rooftop.

And at this moment, three people stood there.

At the front was a young man of twenty-five or twenty-six, dressed in a long white robe.

Standing at the summit, he gazed into the distance, his eyes and brows full of arrogance.

He was Kong Fuxian, the senior brother Kong Chen Yixi had spoken of.

He was one of the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult's twelve true disciples stationed in the outer city, at the Blood Pillar Realm, with a combat power of 920,000.

On the left was a middle-aged man in his forties, ordinary in appearance.

On the right was a young woman in her early twenties, dressed in a close-fitting black outfit.

These two were also true disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult. Both possessed extraordinary strength and stood on either side of Kong Fuxian.

"Junior brother," Kong Fuxian asked, "have all the teams arrived?"

The middle-aged man beside him answered.

"They've all begun moving, and nearly all have reached their assigned locations."

Kong Fuxian spoke again, asking indifferently.

"Junior sister, have all the formation cores been placed?"

The young woman answered.

"Reporting to senior brother, everything is ready."

Kong Fuxian nodded lightly, gazing into the distance as he spoke contemptuously.

"The Earth Dispatch Bureau and the Sturgeon Group have started moving. They've certainly made quite a stir."

The middle-aged man on the left nodded.

"They certainly have. The Sturgeon Group has mobilized a large number of people, as well as three ultimate complete cyborgs."

"The Earth Dispatch Bureau has gone even further, turning out in full strength and sending a Dawn Divine Machinist."

"However..."

A look of disdain appeared on the middle-aged man's face.

"However, it sounds impressive, but that's all there is to it."

The young woman beside him chuckled and picked up the thread.

"The Earth Condemnation Bureau thinks it's spread a net from heaven to earth and is waiting for us to walk into it. Little does it know we've long been aware of it."

The three of them knew the Sturgeon Group's and the Earth Dispatch Bureau's movements inside and out.

They didn't even care.

The true purpose of their operation this time was to test the 'Blood Sacrifice Grand Formation.'

The Ten Thousand Immortals Cult's true disciples all came from outside the Yi Kingdom, and they were skilled in formations.

Formations made using their own vital energy and blood could produce effects and power beyond imagining.

They could even refine people into pills and consume them directly, crudely increasing their strength.

Most of the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult's previous sect exterminations had been experiments.

Now that the formation was complete, downtown Jinghai City was just the place to test it and see the results.

As for the Giant Whale Sect?

It was merely one part of this larger operation.

Of course.

They also intended to use this opportunity to clash with the Earth Dispatch Bureau and test its trump cards.

"Over the years, as our Ten Thousand Immortals Cult has developed in the outer city, the Earth Dispatch Bureau has clung to us like maggots on bone, watching us at every turn."

"This is the perfect opportunity."

"Using this Giant Whale Sect setup, we'll see just how much the Earth Dispatch Bureau is worth."

Kong Fuxian spoke, his tone showing that he didn't take the Earth Dispatch Bureau seriously at all.

This time, twelve true disciples had been mobilized, including him.

All true disciples were at the Blood Pillar Realm, with combat power ranging from 500,000 to 1,000,000.

Their strength was on par with ultimate complete cyborgs and Dawn Divine Machinists.

Even counting both the Earth Dispatch Bureau and the Sturgeon Group, they had only seven people at that highest equivalent level of combat power this time.

How could they contend with the Ten Thousand Immortals Cult?

"The other nine true disciples have all reached their assigned positions and are ready."

"The core disciples are also spread throughout every corner and can move at any time."

Kong Fuxian turned and glanced at his two fellow disciples.

"The Earth Condemnation Bureau thinks it has laid a trap and is waiting for us to walk into the jar. Little does it know that we're also waiting for all of them to enter."

"Now the time is ripe, and everything is ready."

"Then let's begin."
