The conclusion raised a brief whisper among the Immortal Cultivators.
However, the real Immortal Cultivators had long honed their nerves and will that were as tough as iron in the arduous underground struggles for decades. Even the most perilous situation would not shake their firm belief at all.
Everyone's expression did not change. They held their breaths and waited for more information.
Emotionlessly, Xiao Yushan continued, "The communication range of the Great Goose VII mining communicator is not very long. It can cover an asteroid at best. It cannot be used for long-distance communication across space zones.
"However, however large Heavenly Saints City is, it cannot be larger than an asteroid. The Great Goose VII can cover every corner of the city.
"Therefore, the mysterious expert who is suspected to be Bai Xinghe is probably trying to have a secret conversation with someone or a force in Heavenly Saints City that is of paramount importance.
"Right now, he is faced with another problem, which is that he has to deliver one of the Great Goose VII communicators to the person or force that he wants to talk to.
"The problem is not hard to solve. Although the Great Goose VII communicator is very clumsy, he is carrying quite a few Cosmos Rings with him. He can store the Great Goose VII into his Cosmos Ring, disguise the Cosmos Ring as common goods, and send it to Heavenly Saints City directly through express delivery.
"Every day, the number of packages sent to and from Heavenly Saints City and dozens of other space zones is astronomical. Neither we nor the Cultivators can investigate every package. Besides, it is very possible that the enemy has sent hundreds of packages, both real and fake, to confuse us.
"Therefore, it is very likely that the Great Goose VII communicator will be delivered to the person that he wants to talk to. There is almost nothing that we can do to stop it.
"The above is the most likely identity of the mysterious expert in the Dragon King Battlesuit, his route of escape from the Spider Den Space Zone, his approaches, and part of his purposes.
"According to the comprehensive analysis of the information that we have, the man is highly dangerous for us. There is an 88% probability that this person's actions are specifically targeted at our organization. However … Right now, it is still uncertain whether he is targeting the Temple of Immortals, which is a disguise, or the 'Second Imperium', a real organization of Immortal Cultivators.
"Based on the intelligence, the Dragon Slaying Operation Command has drafted the following countermeasures.
"Firstly. We will get two Great Goose Model 7 communicators as soon as tomorrow morning. "
"The refiners in the organization will disassemble and study the magical equipment in the most detailed way possible. They will completely grasp the transmission mode of telepathic thoughts and the characteristics of the signal that it emits. They will also craft magical equipment that can search for and lock onto Great Goose VII communicators in the shortest amount of time possible."
"Great Goose VII is a civil magical equipment. It is not very precise. The experts in the organization have already seen the structural diagram. It can complete the locking and cracking work. "
"At that time, as long as the other party activates the Great Goose VII Communicator within the range of Heavenly Saint City, we will be able to sense and lock onto it within a few seconds. We will also be able to intercept and analyze the content of the other party's conversation to achieve the effect of monitoring."
"Secondly, after considering all the information, the odds that the mysterious expert was possessed by Bai Xinghe have increased to more than 90%.
"Although Bai Xinghe was a Yuanying expert, his soul was heavily wounded five years ago. It's only been five years since he took over the body, so there's no way he'll be able to regain his Yuanying level strength. "
"Aiming at the problem, the organization is working hard to produce a batch of magical equipment that is designed to attack the soul. A lot of experts who are adept at soul attacks have also been summoned. They will participate in the Dragon Slaying Operation and try to kill the enemy in one strike at the critical moment so that the problem will be resolved once and for all! "
"Thirdly, the space zone where Bai Xinghe once set foot in has been confirmed. Assuming that he is marching toward Heavenly Saints City without stopping, If he is really in Heavenly Saint City right now, his time of arrival and his nearest destination can be predicted, too. "
"Millions of tourists enter Heavenly Saints City every day. In the past month, the night before the final battle, the brains and backbone of the major sects of the Flying Star Sector have all been rushing to Heavenly Saints City for the morale-boosting rally. The number of visitors has increased by ten times. It is impossible for us to monitor everyone.
"However, if we can determine the time when the enemy is likely to sneak in and the direction from which he is coming, the range of our surveillance will be greatly reduced. Chances are that we will be able to lock onto him in advance!
"Fourthly, Bai Xinghe has come to Heavenly Saints City after such a long journey. It is impossible that he is meeting a Mr. Nobody. The person that he wants to talk to must be someone of great importance in the world of Cultivators who can wield strategic influence.
"Such people can only be the brains of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City, the leadership of the Star Fighters' Alliance, and the leaders of the Glorious Sunlight Group and Iron Plateau in the Flying Star Sector right now.
"Therefore, while we are searching for Bai Xinghe's traces, we must not relax the surveillance on those people, either!
"Fifthly, all the analysis and speculation above are very likely to be false and a trap!"
The Immortal Cultivators were holding their breath and listening attentively. But the last sentence dazed them for a moment and confused them.
Xiao Xuance patted Xiao Yushan's shoulder and hinted for the young Immortal Cultivator to sit down. He continued, "Everything we discussed just now is 80% likely to be true.
"There is another 20% possibility that everything is false. It is not Bai Xinghe. There is no Dragon King Battlesuit at all, either.
"The worst-case scenario is that the 'Second Imperium' has been exposed. At the very least, the Cultivators have become quite suspicious about the Grand Illusionary Soldier Project. Therefore, they are testing us in such a way in order to make us feel guilty and panic."
"Therefore, I repeat myself. Listen to the command in everything you do. Do not act on your own initiative. Do not take any drastic actions until the last moment."
"Of course."
Xiao Xuance paused for a moment. A murderous aura leaked out of every pore on his body and condensed into a solid armor around him.
"With everything coming to this point, the possibility of implementing Plan B has been greatly increased.
"Everybody must be mentally prepared. The war may not be as smooth as we imagine. It may be a tough one. Many people will die, their souls destroyed, and they will never be reborn.
"However, in the end, on the land dyed red by the blood of the martyrs, a brand-new country, which is the second country that can lead the civilization of mankind to its peak after the Star Ocean Imperium, will rise!
"Nothing can stop the rise of the second Imperium. Not the Cultivators. Certainly not this' Bai Xinghe '!
"That is all the information about the 'Dragon Slaying Operation' so far. Next, the missions that you will be assigned will be displayed on your crystal processors.
"For the great renaissance of the civilization of mankind, please work with me, fellow Cultivators!"
"Any questions?"
An Immortal Cultivator who was thin but determined stood up. "According to the calculation of the organization, when will Bai Xinghe arrive at Heavenly Saints City?"
"In ten days, the four backup star beacons will arrive at the periphery of the Spider Den Space Zone," Xiao Xuance said. "After three to five days of debugging, the space gate will be completely repaired.
"When a hundred star beacons are gathered, dazzling spiritual waves will be released. They will be like lighthouses in the dark night, illuminating every space zone of the Flying Star Sector.
"By then, the Cultivators, crystal warships, and Grand Illusionary Soldiers of every space zone will be able to jump to the Spider Den Space Zone for a final battle under the guidance of the space gate!
"The morale-boosting meeting will be held in Heavenly Saints City in fifteen days.
"After the meeting, the strongest forces of the dozens of space zones will jump to the Spider Den Space Zone at the same time. It will be the dawn of the Imperium!
"As for Bai Xinghe, he will sneak into Heavenly Saints City three days before the morale-boosting meeting, which is to say, twelve days later!"
Thirteen days later, in the tenth space ring of Heavenly Saints City …
A middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat and carrying an old leather suitcase was walking slowly on the busy street of the business district.
There was still a trace of weariness on his face from the long journey, but his beard had been shaved clean. There was also a jade bracelet on his wrist, releasing wisps of refreshing aura.
He seemed to be a very common businessman who had come to Heavenly Saints City from somewhere else to discuss business.
However, when the squads of Grand Illusionary Soldiers passed by him in neat steps, there was always worry and anxiety beaming out of his eyes that seemed rather mediocre.
After five years, Li Yao had finally arrived at Heavenly Saints City.
Heavenly Saints City was the economic, administrative, cultural, and military center of the Flying Star Sector.
The second Battle of Spider Den that was about to take place would be the largest war in the Flying Star Sector in the past five hundred years. As the center of the entire space zone, Heavenly Saints City was naturally the largest gathering point of all the soldiers.
All the forces of Heavenly Saints City and the few space zones nearby would gather in the city and jump to the Spider Den Space Zone together.
Li Yao's first impression of Heavenly Saints City when he arrived was that the place had turned into an out-and-out military camp, where soldiers were being trained and aggressive.
Before he entered the spaceport, he had already seen thousands of crystal warships gathering outside of Heavenly Saints City through the porthole of the carrier.
The fleet was so enormous that it could blot out the sun and the moon. Even the Yuanying experts would feel that they were insignificant in front of such a fleet.
After he entered the tenth space ring, he saw countless Cultivators and Grand Illusionary Soldiers marching to the spaceport with their heads held high and boarded their crystal warships in the middle of the crowd's cheers.
In the arrival of the extraterrestrial devils five years ago, the tenth space ring had almost been transformed into a fiend's domain. The residents here hated Spider Den dearly and were the most enthusiastic supporters of the war.
"Let's march to Spider Den. Blood for blood!"
