Chapter 903: Secret Operation

Editor: Henyee Translations

With Qin Shenwu’s departure, the operation to encircle and eliminate the foreign races within the realm was officially set in motion, leaving no room for second thoughts.

Instead of feeling joyous about the approval of his proposal, Jiang Chengxuan’s expression was grave.

“Husband, are you worried that the foreign races might set traps for us, leading us into a trap?”

Shen Ruyan asked softly beside him.

The fact that the three foreign races could stand against human cultivators and still root themselves in the Floodgate Realm highlighted their extraordinariness.

The deepsea nomads, demon beasts, and eldars were all superpowers, each with numerous Dao Integration Saints among them.

It wouldn’t be surprising if they had Daolords guarding them.

However, those defending the Eastern Sky Domain could only deploy Dao Integration Saints, with Daolords needed to guard the realm barrier.

On paper, their forces were not at an advantage.

Their only advantage was the element of surprise, with the enemy in the light and themselves in the shadow.

If the foreign races were prepared, they would lose even this slim advantage.

Evidently, Shen Ruyan was aware of Jiang Chengxuan’s concerns.

“Yes, this operation is indeed a risk, but I still believe we can achieve our goal,” Jiang Chengxuan turned to rea.s.sure Shen Ruyan.

“I believe as well. As long as we’re together, there’s nothing we can’t solve,” Shen Ruyan said with a light laugh.

From their first meeting to the present, they had faced everything together, accomplis.h.i.+ng many things they wouldn’t have dared to dream of initially.

It seemed as long as they had each other’s support, nothing was impossible.

Hearing her words, Jiang Chengxuan also smiled lightly, nodding firmly in agreement.

…

Soon, through secret communications, the message about the operation reached the high-level representatives of Thunderclap Valley, the Qian Family, and Feitian Gate.

After brief preparations, each sect dispatched several elites to the Haoran Sect’s temporary headquarters for final discussions.

Aside from Shen Ruyan, Thunderclap Valley sent two Dao Integration cultivators, Saint Zenith and Saint Flash Thunder, both skilled in harnessing the power of the Dao of Lightning, excelling in purging evil and offensive capabilities.

Leading the Haoran Sect’s team was Jiang Chengxuan, accompanied by Saint Sky Walker and Saint Soaring, two core Dao Integration forces of the sect, experienced and trustworthy in handling various tasks.

Jiang Chengxuan specifically chose these individuals for their rich experience.

As for the Qian Family and Feitian Gate, they each sent two Dao Integration Saints.

The Qian family sent two elders. They had been Dao Integration cultivators for many years and were very powerful.

They were either at the Dao Fusion or Dao Inception.

Feitian Gate dispatched two Dao Inception Saints, experts in reconnaissance and maneuvering, making this surprise operation right up their alley.

Thus, a total of ten Dao Integration Saints were mobilized for this operation, forming an impressively luxurious lineup.

Even a superpower would struggle to a.s.semble so many Dao Integration existences easily.

“Everyone, thank you for your sects’ willingness to send you to a.s.sist in this battle. For the future of the Floodgate Realm, this risky venture is indispensable,” Jiang Chengxuan began, bowing to those in the hall.

“Ah, Sect Master Jiang is too courteous. The significance of this operation is clear to all of us, and we a.s.sure you of our full support,” a Dao Integration elder from the Qian Family responded with a smile.

“Yes, it’s a matter that benefits the Floodgate Realm. We’re very keen to lend our support,” a Dao Integration Saint from Feitian Gate also quickly expressed his politeness.

They all understood the risks involved but also saw the substantial merits that could be gained.

If it were solely for some n.o.ble ideal of justice, initiating this operation would be nothing short of a fantasy.

It was the combination of benefits that motivated the sects to offer their full support.

With the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley taking the lead, the risk was significantly reduced, especially with a Mahayana Daolord overseeing the situation.

For the Qian Family and Feitian Gate, this was an investment with the potential for both fame and benefit.

Despite the positive outlook, the situation still required careful a.n.a.lysis.

Jiang Chengxuan detailed the potential risks of the operation and roughly outlined the strategies and objectives.

Once everything was settled, there was no further hesitation.

The group quietly left the camp and headed towards the territories controlled by the foreign races within the Floodgate Realm.

The speed of Dao Integration cultivators was truly fearsome.

To avoid any potential spies, they followed the suggestion of the Feitian Gate and used a mix of travel and teleportation portals.

Based on intelligence from the Qian Family, they meticulously avoided areas frequently visited by foreign races, proceeding with utmost caution.

Splitting up for travel and regrouping periodically to confirm information, they managed to reach the periphery of the regions controlled by the major foreign races in just a bit more time than it would take normally.

Remarkably, they encountered not a single foreign cultivator along the way, maintaining the utmost secrecy.

Upon reaching the territories controlled by the foreign races, they opted for a stealthy approach rather than a direct entry.

Those skilled in stealth scouted ahead, followed by the rest.

In the dominions of foreign races, human cultivators were all too conspicuous.

The group moved stealthily from city to city towards the core area, blending in to avoid detection in enemy territory.

From the beginning, where there were a few human cultivators and a majority of foreign races mixed together, to later towns where almost only cultivators of foreign races existed, the primary living pattern among the foreign races remained mixed.

The demon beasts, deepsea nomads, and eldars were all intermingled.

As they ventured deeper, human cultivators became increasingly unwelcome, to the point where in some areas, captured human cultivators were treated as slaves by the foreign races, tasked with alchemy and artifact forging—tasks the foreign races were not adept at.

After pa.s.sing several foreign races’ cultivation sects, Jiang Chengxuan and his team knew they were getting closer to their destination.

Up until now, they had not been detected by any of the foreign races.

“These foreign races truly harbor malicious intentions,” someone in the team commented.

As they pa.s.sed through the towns and sects of the foreign races, they heard a lot of news about the battle at the realm barrier and the situation of the war.

Almost all the foreign races expressed support for their home realm.

Moreover, they believed it would be better if the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm were eliminated.

That way, after their home realm took over the Floodgate Realm, these foreign races would have more living s.p.a.ce.

“Despite using the resources of the Floodgate Realm for cultivation, they show no grat.i.tude. These foreign races deserve to be condemned,” the deeper into the foreign races’ territory they went, the more discontent they felt towards these races.

From the foreign race commoners to the foreign race cultivators, they did not see anyone who was kind to humans.

However, Jiang Chengxuan was not concerned about this.

He was more focused on the situation within the core territories of the foreign races.
