Mu Lisi and the others were all taken aback.
What else? What else is there that we haven't discovered?
Mu Lisi's old face flushed, and with an attitude eager to learn, he said, "Mr. Jiang, please tell us!"
"This is the case—if you say those people are all beaten and battered troops, then the abilities they are showing now might very well not match the abilities you've discovered!" Jiang Chen spoke softly.
"Do you mean to say that originally, they were feigning defeat on purpose?" Xi'er asked, slightly furrowing her brows.
"No! What I mean is, perhaps some of them escaped from those bases that you destroyed, but the majority probably did not."
"With your strength laid bare, if those Semi Venerable Venerable Realm's strong individuals had escaped from the bases you annihilated, you wouldn't be unclear about it, and since you originally only sent these few people, that proves that you believe you could easily defeat them!"
Jiang Chen spoke with a solemn expression: "Mr. Mu Lisi, everyone, I don't mean to look down on the Holy Court, but I'll venture to guess that the individuals the Holy Court has dispatched today are at least half of the Innate and Semi Venerable Venerable Realm powerhouses in the Holy Court, right?"
"This..." Mu Lisi and the others' faces showed a slight change, and none of them spoke.
"You don't need to answer; I'm just sharing my speculation!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand: "I just want to say that the Holy Court is strong, but not unreasonably so; otherwise, they would not hesitate when facing the Gene Organization and the Dark Church."
"But if you are like this already, then where did the Dark Church get so many powerhouses?"
Jiang Chen posed a question, and Mu Lisi and the others all nodded, their expressions growing more solemn as they listened intently.
Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Chen continued to patiently analyze: "To my knowledge, the Dark Church has established hundreds of churches worldwide. If you have destroyed more than a dozen and those who escaped are this strong, does the Dark Church still need to hide from the Holy Court?"
Mu Lisi and the others' faces changed again, and they all frowned.
"Mr. Jiang, you are right; it appears that they are not those who flee!" Vice Captain Ha'er acknowledged gravely with a nod.
Jiang Chen carried on with his analysis: "And the Dark Church's intention to infiltrate Flame Dragon is to drag Flame Dragon, Yan Hu, and even the entire Flame Dragon Martial Arts World down with themselves. To drag us into the water, they must have enough strength to protect themselves; otherwise, if we, in a moment of anger, destroy them first, their efforts would be in vain! This is also why they gather so many powerhouses!"
"I see, you're suggesting that these individuals might possibly constitute all the powerhouses of the Dark Church?" A light shone in Xi'er's eyes, and the rest of the people's gazes shifted as they intently watched Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen gently shook his head: "No, not all, but they should be nearly all of the Paladin Realm and Semi Venerable Venerable Realm."
"Indeed! These individuals must certainly be the strongest group barring their true decision-makers. As long as we take these down, then..." A sharp gleam flashed in Mu Lisi's eyes.
"Mr. Mu Lisi, that's not the point."
Jiang Chen interrupted Mu Lisi, his expression serious: "The point is, since they dare to gather so many powerhouses and send them into Flame Dragon, they must be prepared for all of them to die there. So, what gives the Dark Church the confidence to make such a big sacrifice?"
"This..." Everyone was suddenly stunned.
Indeed!
Jiang Chen's points were very compelling!
Flame Dragon had the world's second most dominant Flame Dragon Group, and moreover, there was the presence of that formidable individual who once single-handedly obliterated another hegemon. How could the Dark Church be so confident that their people would not all be killed?
Or is it that they have some other reliance?
"Mr. Mu Lisi, I mention this only to prevent you from celebrating too soon. Don't think that after obliterating these people, there will be no more issues. Since the Dark Church dares to use these individuals as sacrificial pawns, their ambitions must be significant. We probably need to be cautious of this!" Jiang Chen spoke solemnly.
Mu Lisi gave a wry smile, "Being too smart isn't always good! Originally, we could have been happy after wiping them out, but now, thanks to you, we've got to worry again!"
"Haha," Jiang Chen chuckled softly.
"Alright! Regardless, the people of the Furong family must be annihilated! How about this, let Mr. Jiang take command of this operation, any objections?" Mu Lisi ended the discussion, putting forth the suggestion.
Jiang Chen was slightly startled, looking at Mu Lisi in surprise.
"I agree!"
"I also agree!"
"No objections!"
"Mr. Jiang is very suited for command! Agreed!"
Most of the Holy Court attendees readily agreed, having been impressed by Jiang Chen's displayed organizational and analytical abilities. At this time, Jiang Chen's status in their hearts had risen several levels.
Ralph and Si Keda exchanged glances, wanting to refuse, but seeing that most agreed to have Jiang Chen command, they could only tacitly accept it.
...
Night fell quietly, and the moonlight spilled over the land!
There was a low hill in the northern suburbs of Ross City, surrounded by tall walls—this was the estate of the Furong family.
At this moment, the estate was in the midst of dinner, a picture of serene and peaceful tranquility.
Outside the estate, squads of men in black quietly approached the walls and quietly stood by at the foot of the wall.
At the eastern wall of the estate, Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, Elder Ming, Dark Thunder, An Bing, and others gathered. Together with two elite squads of twelve people, a total of sixteen crouched at the foot of the wall.
Beside them stood a Holy Court team of fifty Paladin Knights.
Under Jiang Chen's arrangement, two thousand Paladin Knights of the Holy Court formed teams of fifty each and surrounded the entire estate. Each fifty-man team was further divided into five squads; the squads were spaced at intervals so that at least each could see a squad of their own to the left and right, facilitating timely support.
"Listen up, everyone. We are here to assist, and ensuring our own safety is most important, understand?" Jiang Chen said solemnly to Yan Hu and the others.
"Yes!" Yan Hu and the others responded in low voices.
"Good! Wait a moment, let's wait until they are all in position," Jiang Chen instructed softly, and everyone quietly waited.
Buzz buzz buzz!
After a while, Jiang Chen's phone started to vibrate. Once the vibration hit three times, his eyes lit up.
In his plan, he was to lead his team to invade from the east, Mu Lisi from the west, Ha'er through the main gate, and Xi'er to charge in from behind the estate. When they were all in position, they would send him a message.
Buzz buzz!
After three vibrations, Jiang Chen's aura exploded, and he soared, leaping directly over the wall.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Yan Hu and the others burst forth with their auras, following Jiang Chen as they leaped into the estate.
