This is...

Jiang Chen's soul suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a look of astonishment.

After the soul force had advanced a considerable distance, Jiang Chen's soul abruptly felt something was amiss.

The distance between the soul force and himself seemed to be shortening.

"What's going on?!"

Jiang Chen's soul furrowed its brows tightly and closed its eyes again to carefully sense.

The soul force advanced further, then stopped, floated to the top of the passageway, and directly stuck to the ceiling!

"The passageway is... getting shorter?!"

After a while, Jiang Chen's face at the entrance of the passageway suddenly turned ugly; the passage that connects Yuan Star and the Void Nether is not only expanding but also slowly shortening!

This discovery sent a shock through Jiang Chen's body and mind.

The shortening of the passageway means that the people from the Void Nether would take less time to come over, and if the passage allows physical bodies through, wouldn't that mean they could come right over from the Void Nether?!

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and continued to control the soul force, which had flown out an unknown distance, to explore further.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Suddenly, it seemed the soul force bumped into something.

"Who is there?!"

A low voice rang out.

Swish swish swish!

Three souls emerged at the front of the passageway, directly rushing to the location of Jiang Chen's soul force, emitting a powerful soul force as they carefully probed.

Jiang Chen's soul was tense, quickly using the spatial path within the soul force to interfere with the three souls' probing.

"No one is here?"

"Yes, Elder Meng, did you sense it wrong?"

Two souls spoke in unison, turning to look at the middle soul.

Elder Meng lightly frowned, looked around, and lightly furrowed his brows: "The spirit array I set up just reacted; it should have detected fluctuations in the aura, why is there nothing?"

"Maybe the spatial path triggered the spirit array? This passage is filled with the power of the spatial path, affecting the spirit array is normal. Elder Meng, don't scare yourself; we've been so discreet, and there are others on Life Origin Star to contain them. They won't think we're here, opening a spatial battlefield as a springboard!"

A soul spoke softly to comfort.

"That's possible too!"

Elder Meng nodded, and the three souls turned and flew to the other end of the passageway.

At the entrance of the passageway, Jiang Chen's soul let out a sigh of relief, quickly recalling his soul force, and turned to rush out of the passageway.

Outside the passageway.

Whoosh!

Jiang Chen's soul emerged from the black hole and returned directly to his body.

"Mr. Jiang, how was it?"

The Pope asked softly.

"Trouble!"

Jiang Chen spoke with an ugly expression, turned, and shouted towards the direction of the office building at the stronghold: "Old Elder Wei, Second Elder Wei, please come here!"

Swish swish!

Two figures flew over from the direction of the office building.

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

The two old elders of the Wei family greeted Jiang Chen.

"We might need to trouble the two elders to guard this place!"

Jiang Chen said seriously, "Inside I saw..."

"What?!"

"How could this happen?!"

Upon hearing what Jiang Chen saw, the Pope and others exclaimed in surprise.

Li Jianfeng spoke with an ugly expression: "Those bastards! They really plan to attack Yuan Star! This..."

"Old Elders Wei, from now on, please take turns separating your souls to monitor the passage in the fissure and always pay attention to whether the passage allows physical bodies through. But be careful, they have set up detection formations around the spatial battlefield, do not let your soul force advance too far, ten miles should be enough! Continuous probing is necessary!"

Jiang Chen instructed solemnly.

"Okay!"

"Rest assured Mr. Jiang, leave it to us!"

The two elders of the Wei family nodded solemnly.

"Senior Ming Que."

Jiang Chen turned to Ming Que and several others: "Notify the missile base responsible for this area immediately for rotation targeting, make sure there are always at least ten missiles locked on here, no need for fifty this time, it looks like they're waiting for the passage to stabilize completely for a massive attack, we just need to guard against their surprise attack!"

"Alright!" Ming Que nodded gravely.

"Also, leave only the Saint Realm Experts here, evacuate those below the Saint Realm ten miles away, and reconstruct a military restricted area, designate a hundred miles around as a forbidden zone!" Jiang Chen instructed again.

"Yes, I'll handle it right away!" Elder Qing responded and flew away.

"Two seniors, we're relying on you here; we need to quickly check all the fissure passageways, let's go!" Jiang Chen turned to the Wei family's two old elders and bowed.

The two elders of the Wei family said nothing, heavily nodded.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen shouted, leaping into the sky and shouting loudly towards the office building: "Everyone, let's go!"

Swish swish swish!

Dragon Saint and others dashed out from the office building, along with four others including Ling Zhiping; they all flew to the skies following Jiang Chen.

"Mr Jiang, has something happened?"

After catching up with Jiang Chen, Dragon Saint took a look at the two old elders of the Wei family staying below and said stoically.

"The passageway there has already..."

Describing the change in the passageway, Jiang Chen said with a serious expression: "We don't have much time left!"

Dragon Saint and others' faces all turned grim, silently following behind, heading towards Jincheng!

...

Jincheng.

In the mountains more than ten miles west of the Flame Dragon Group's garrison.

Swish swish swish!

Long Huang, Feng Luan, Hu Sha, and Shi Kui flashed to a mountain peak.

"There's a passage here? Why is there no sign of aura fluctuation?"

Hu Sha frowned, muttering.

"Search!"

Long Huang shouted in a low voice.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The four scattered and searched carefully.

"Found it!"

Soon, a shout came from Supreme Shi Kui at the foot of the mountain.

Swish swish swish!

Long Huang, Feng Luan, and Hu Sha swiftly flew to Supreme Shi Kui's side.

"Damn it! When did this appear?!"

Supreme Hu Sha glanced at the foot of the mountain, face turning quite grim.

At the foot of the mountain, a two-meter-high dark hole appeared before the four of them. In front of the hole was a huge round stone, and there were traces of the stone rolling on the ground.

"This hole was originally blocked by the huge stone, someone pushed it open from inside!"

Long Huang said solemnly.

"I'll go in and take a look!"

Hu Sha said with a cold expression, stepping forward to enter the hole.

"Wait a moment!" Long Huang reached out to stop Hu Sha: "Don't act rashly, if there is a peak expert hidden inside, we won't be able to respond."

Feng Luan nodded, said solemnly: "Let's wait here, Lord Dragon Saint said they'll be here soon!"

"Shi Kui, go call people, have them blockade this area within ten miles, do not allow anyone in or out!"

Long Huang turned to Shi Kui, instructed softly.

"Alright!"

Shi Kui nodded, took off flying towards the Flame Dragon Group headquarters.
