Humming noises immediately echoed in the command center.
Li Yao was greatly alarmed, too.
He had long known that a secret squad with the six sects of Heavenly Saints City as the backbone was investigating and striking the Temple of Immortals in secret. But he did not expect that their achievement would be so remarkable that they even knew the code name of the sabotage operation that the Temple of Immortals was going to carry out.
"Many fellow Cultivators are aware that, after the Temple of Immortals showed up, we established a rapid response team named 'Immortal Slayers' with the core disciples of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City as the backbone in order to cope with the unprecedented changes," Xiao Xuance said.
"However, in order to keep it a secret, few people know that the Immortal Slayers Squad is divided into two groups, one in the open and the other in the dark. On the surface, it is the rapid response team, but a lot of members of the Immortal Slayers Squad have infiltrated the Temple of Immortals in secret.
"The invisible battlefront is extremely bloody and cruel. After one year, a hundred and thirty-two members of the Immortal Slayers Squad have been sacrificed in the darkness!
"It is with their hard work and sacrifice that we gradually grasped part of the secrets of the Temple of Immortals, including the general picture of the 'Mist Plan'!
"Therefore, before we formally introduce the Mist Plan, let us pay our utmost respect to those who have been sacrificed!"
All the Cultivators, including the experts of Jin Dan and Yuanying, lowered their heads and mourned in silence.
"Other than that, there is a special Cultivator that we should not forget," Xiao Xuance said emotionally.
"He is Fellow Cultivator Li Yao, the unaffiliated Cultivator who was the first to discover the secrets of the Temple of Immortals.
"Fellow Cultivator Li, although he was only an unaffiliated Cultivator in the Building Foundation Stage, he unveiled the first great scheme of the Temple of Immortals with his unparalleled wisdom and courage and informed us of the existence of the Immortal Cultivators so that we could react immediately!
Li Yao stuck out his tongue in his heart. He was indeed a little touched.
He was more and more confused whether Xiao Xuance was a good guy or a bad guy.
Everybody observed a minute of silence for Li Yao and the members of the Immortal Slayers Squad who had been sacrificed. Then, the sorrow on Xiao Xuance's face was gone, replaced by a tough and aggressive one. He waved his hands. Over 100 screens of light appeared behind him. Every one of them contained a very detailed information. All of them contained the information regarding the members of the Longevity Hall.
"Ever since the battle of the Iron Plateau Space Zone ended a year ago, the Temple of Immortals has not been planning any major operations. It seems to have vanished into the sea of stars and only harassed the sailing routes with the space pirates.
"We've been suspecting that the Temple of Immortals is secretly accumulating strength and planning a world-shaking operation. Therefore, we've devoted a lot of manpower to the operation. He had finally discovered the existence of the Fog Plan.
Swoosh!
On the light beam behind Xiao Xuance, a couple of pictures were enlarged.
Most of the photos were very blurry or taken at special angles, making it difficult to recognize the faces of the people in the photos.
"According to our investigation, the eight people in the picture are all high-level assassins of 'Black Spider Tower', an assassination organization on Spider Den. They are known as the Eight Blades. "
"The Eight Blades of the Black Spider are all super experts above the Core Formation realm. They have all come to Heaven Sacred City and are hiding beside us! "
Gasps echoed in the command center again.
Eight Core Formation Stage Cultivators who were adept at stealth and assassination were gathered together. Even a Yuanying monster would have a headache if they ran into each other.
No wonder this time … So many experts had been gathered!
Xiao Xuance waved his hands. The light beam changed again into a black silhouette with a bloody question mark in the middle.
"The Eight Blades of the Black Spider are all experts in the Core Formation Stage. But they are still not the leaders of the Fog Plan.
"Among the four kings of the Longevity Hall, Mountain Sea, and Black Lotus, Yan Xibei, the Mountain King, was responsible for instigating the six tribes of Iron Plateau. He has been executed by Fellow Cultivator Sand on Iron Plateau.
"The Fog Plan, on the other hand, is very likely to be led by the Black King, another leader of the Temple of Immortals.
"To this moment, we have no clue who the Black King is exactly. We only speculate that he is' Hellsword 'Zhuang Ziyou, one of the two top experts of Spider Den in the past and as famous as Bai Xinghe, the' Pirate Potentate '.
"However, 'Hellsword' Zhuang Ziyou is a lone wolf. He is unpredictable and drifts away from all the pirate gangs. He does not even respect Bai Xinghe, the 'Pirate Potentate'. Even if 'Hellsword' is the Black King, we lack enough information!
"Of course, it is inappropriate to say that the 'Pirate Potentate' and 'Hellsword' are the two top experts of Spider Den. According to the latest news, Fengyu Zhong, the captain of Storm Prison, has advanced into the Yuanying Stage recently!
"Right now, it is very likely that there are three Yuanying Stage Cultivators among the space pirates!"
Li Yao slightly raised his eyes.
Fengyu Zhong had become a Yuanying monster, too?
He had killed Fengyu Zhong's only son in person. The two of them were irreconcilable enemies and would not stop until one of them was dead.
Li Yao wanted to know whether or not he, who had reached the superlative height of the Building Foundation Stage and was more than ten times stronger than other Cultivators at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage, together with the new Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, could take down a Yuanying monster?
"The Black King, who is likely to be in the Yuanying Stage, the Eight Blades of Black Spider, who is in the Core Formation Stage, and maybe other experts that we don't know are hiding in the darkness, will be the full strength of the Fog Plan!
"For the Temple of Immortals, such a luxurious team must have been deployed in full force!
"In other words, as long as we can catch all of them, the Temple of Immortals will suffer heavy losses and earn precious time for our planet-level magical equipment production plan!"
Xiao Xuance paused for a moment and raised his eyes to look at everybody.
A Yuanying, whose face was full of wrinkles and who seemed to be more than three hundred years old, said casually without raising his head, "This is the central area of Heavenly Saints City, the most heavily guarded place in the entire Flying Star Sector. Even if they have one Yuanying and eight or more Core Formation Stage Cultivators, do they think that they can do whatever they want here and kill whoever they want?"
"Of course not!"
The light beam behind Xiao Xuance changed again, displaying 'Heart Gnawing Miasma' and a long list of files.
"Heart Gnawing Miasma is a new-generation miasma created by the Temple of Immortals by mixing nine different kinds of ancient miasma, including the Heart Gnawing Miasma, the Peach Blossom Miasma, and the Yin Corpse Poison Miasma. The miasma is refined, extracted, and mutated by modern methods. It can attack flesh, cells, nerves, and souls at the same time!
"We don't know the power of the Heart Gnawing Miasma yet, but by our rough estimation, a spoonful of concentrated Heart Gnawing Miasma will be enough to kill tens of thousands of people if it is released into the air!"
The Yuanying, who was more than three hundred years old, was not moved at all. "We've all seen the most powerful miasma. Is the Temple of Immortals planning to deal with so many Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Yuanying with such insignificant miasma?"
"The Heart Gnawing Miasma is not designed to deal with Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Yuanying."
Xiao Xuance shook his head and said calmly, "It is designed to deal with ordinary people and low-level Cultivators."
"Huh?"
Everybody, including Li Yao, was surprised.
"Heavenly Saints City is a space fortress. The central area of the city is like a giant iron ball that has been sealed. All the fresh air is generated by the artificial circulation system.
"After the opening ceremony of the Edge Sharpeners' Meeting, specialists, scholars, and tourists from all over the world came to the place. The day before yesterday, the number of people in the central area of Heavenly Saints City reached a record high. It was three times more than usual!
"So many people are consuming oxygen. The air cleaning system has been overloaded.
"If the Temple of Immortals can infiltrate one of the sections of the air cleaning system and mix a lot of Heart Gnawing Miasma into the air, the central area of Heavenly Saints City will be flooded. Just think about it.
"Maybe the Cultivators above the Building Foundation Stage will be able to resist the miasma, but a lot of ordinary people and low-level Cultivators will definitely be corrupted by the miasma.
"By then, the central area of Heavenly Saints City will be in chaos. All the Core Formation Stage Cultivators and Yuanying will be devoted to the rescue.
"The 'Black King' and the 'Eight Blades of Black Spider' will naturally be able to take advantage of the chaos and find the most suitable targets to assassinate.
"Even if the assassination fails, the chaos created in the central area of Heavenly Saints City will be a great blow to the prestige of the Cultivators and shake the foundation of the world of Cultivators!
"This is the whole picture of the Mist Plan!"
There was half a minute of silence in the command center.
Although the air circulation rune arrays were functioning efficiently and releasing fresh air, which was even mixed with the fragrance of the soil after the rain, the air was still fresh.
However, the Core Formation Stage Cultivators and the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators still felt that their chests were suffocating, as if they were being scourged by miasma.
Coldness beamed out of the eyes of the Yuanying who seemed to be more than three hundred years old. He raised his voice and asked, "Fellow Cultivator Xiao, are you sure that the Immortal Slayers have figured out the Mist Plan and that we have the Black King and the Eight Blades of Black Spider under surveillance?"
"No. The Black King and the Eight Blades of Black Spider are not the key. The key is the Heart Gnawing Miasma!"
Another fat Yuanying was sweating profusely. "Have we grasped all the Heart Gnawing Miasma?"
"Yes."
Xiao Xuance nodded calmly. "After a few months of hard work, we have completely grasped the locations of the Black King and the Eight Blades of Black Spider in the central area of Heavenly Saints City. We have also figured out how they are going to cut into the air cleaning system!
"The Mist Plan has been deployed since a few years ago. Two Immortal Cultivators have been lurking in the central area of Heavenly Saints City and working in the air cleaning stations since a few years ago.
"Of course, it's also possible that the Temple of Immortals instigated the Cultivators working in the air cleaning stations and transformed them into inhuman Immortal Cultivators."
"What!"
One of the Jin Dan experts rose up abruptly and exclaimed in shock. Half a second later, he blushed and sat down again.
"Don't worry, everybody. Right now, we have the list of names and the coordinates of all the Immortal Cultivators. All the Heart Gnawing Miasma is under our control!
"The dragnet has been cast. We can draw it in before midnight.
"However, we didn't expect that the Temple of Immortals would send out so many experts this time. The strength of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City and the Immortal Slayers alone might not be enough to annihilate them.
