"The current situation is just because the three major organizations haven't truly begun their counterattack yet!"

Jiang Chen said with a serious expression, "I've received news that the three major organizations will launch a counterattack during a major Martial Dao World event in the Flame Dragon Kingdom. This time, I've made some arrangements with the Flame Dragon Group, but none of us are confident in these arrangements. We are even more uncertain about how many of our people will die in this confrontation!"

"Then we can..." Si Liya glanced at Ha'er and the others, hesitated, and said.

"Seek help from the Holy Court or other forces?"

Jiang Chen gently shook his head and said helplessly, "That's not possible, because we don't know if the three major organizations will also cause a big commotion among the other forces during their counterattack in the Flame Dragon Kingdom. The activities of the three major organizations are becoming more frequent. Perhaps it seems like all major powers are quite relaxed, but that's just an illusion."

Turning to look at Mi Jiaro, Jiang Chen said softly:

"I wonder if you've noticed, Mi Jiaro, that most of the Knights of the Round Table have now returned to the Holy Court headquarters. I remember hearing from Chief Judge Xi'er that the Knights of the Round Table only assemble during missions, and at other times they train and study in secret bases."

"I know about this, but..." Mi Jiaro looked at Ha'er and the others with a complex expression, "I thought it was just because of His Holiness the Pope's injury."

"No! In fact, we stationed ourselves outside Maro City half a year ago, but after His Holiness was injured, we went straight into the headquarters!" Ha'er gently shook his head.

Mi Jiaro was stunned for a moment, his brows furrowed tightly. The stationing of a large group of the Knights of the Round Table outside Maro was not a simple joint defense maneuver.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "All the major forces have long been on guard against the sudden attacks of the three major organizations. It's just that they are internally tense, yet externally relaxed. Moreover, I don't know if you've noticed that some mysterious auras have suddenly appeared within the major forces, auras that have never been present before."

"Exactly!" Mi Jiaro nodded heavily.

"It seems my guess was correct; the situation is more serious than I imagined!"

With this affirmative response, Jiang Chen's expression slightly changed, and he said heavily, "When I was with the Holy Court, I sensed some hidden auras. Even when Dragon Saint Senior and the others erupted with their aura to isolate the loft, those auras didn't reveal themselves. This indicates that their target isn't Dragon Saint Senior and the others; at least, they won't appear until it becomes clear there's a fight."

"To even hide from Dragon Saint Senior and the others, this must be the Holy Court's last resort, a force they've concealed for years!"

"Mr. Jiang, can you detect their presence?!" Ha'er looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

Jiang Chen replied calmly, "Dragon Saint Senior told me."

Although they were currently reliable allies, Jiang Chen still didn't want to reveal too much.

If everyone knew that a Martial Artist at the Early Stage Venerable Realm like him could sense the presence of Saint Realm Experts, especially when they intentionally hide their aura, it might cause some issues.

Ha'er nodded lightly, accepting this explanation. Dragon Saint's prowess was the most mysterious among all the forces, and not even the Pope knew the true extent of Dragon Saint's power!

"In fact, we in the Flame Dragon also possess such strength, but..."

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, lightly frowning, "Because the Flame Dragon has endured too many battles, we are unsure whether we should awaken those slumbering experts of the older generation. If they awaken and come into conflict with the Flame Dragon Group, that would be troublesome!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Pu Losi, Ha'er, and the others nodded in understanding; they were somewhat aware of the Flame Dragon's history and realized Jiang Chen and the Flame Dragon Group's concerns were not unfounded.

"In such a situation."

Jiang Chen looked up at Mi Jiaro and Si Liya, "You don't need to understand how strong the three major organizations are. Just by looking at the defensive setups revealed by the major forces, do you still believe that the power you're relying on will remain invincible forever?"

"This... but how does this relate to your ruthlessness?"

Si Liya no longer stressed that the Royal Family would never fall, as even the Holy Court was fully prepared. Though Si Liya was simple-minded, she understood the disparity between the Royal Family and the Holy Court.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "I'm worried that someday I might die too!"

"Huh?"

Si Liya blinked, looking bemusedly at Jiang Chen.

"If I spared Li Sa and the others today, do you think they would hold no grudges at all?"

Jiang Chen glanced at the equally bemused Mi Jiaro and patiently explained, "Even if they only held a tiny bit of a grudge, in the future, it could become a huge hidden danger. If one day, I die, or my power can no longer deter them, it wouldn't just be me in danger; everyone around me would be at risk."

Si Liya's eyes showed a hint of contemplation as Mi Jiaro furrowed his brow and tentatively said, "Revenge?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Chen nodded, "The mindset of hatred is unfathomable. Moreover, people like Li Sa, who are arrogant and domineering, you can't predict their moral boundaries."

"If one day my power can't deter them and they seek revenge, who can guarantee they won't target the people around me? Who can ensure that my women, my family, won't become their targets for revenge?"

"Therefore, once someone becomes a sworn enemy, they must be eradicated. Destroying the power they belong to directly is the most straightforward and safest method!"

Si Liya and Mi Jiaro both fell silent. They could be said to be children raised in greenhouses, never having considered such issues before.

Pu Losi and the others looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise. They all expected Jiang Chen to tell them more about the three major organizations, to truly help them understand the terror of these groups. But to their surprise, Jiang Chen only touched on the subject briefly, then used himself as an example to explain the situation.

Although this explanation was somewhat general, it allowed Si Liya and Mi Jiaro to grasp the harsh, messy reality!

"They're not ready to know too much!"

Noticing Pu Losi and the others' strange expressions, Jiang Chen said softly, "If we tell them too much at once, they might not be able to accept it, potentially even leaving a shadow."

Pu Losi and the others thought about this and nodded in agreement.

For Mi Jiaro and those who haven't had much exposure to society, suddenly learning that the powers they rely on could be wiped out one day could leave a significant psychological impact.

Therefore, Jiang Chen decided not to elaborate.
