Chapter 1716: Chapter 1716: Plan

Moreover, the alien race has always employed deep strategic moves. If they’ve taken notice of him, then they must be aware of something secret.

Looking at the history of Jiang Xiaobai’s struggles against the alien race, it’s evident that every time they attempt anything covert, it’s profoundly lethal!

On top of the mysterious woman’s warning, Jiang Xiaobai could confirm that there’s bound to be something valuable in the Star Palace’s inheritance realm!

"How could the alien race possibly open it?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow. "Could they breach it from inside? If they can do just that, why bother forging an alliance with Xinghui?"

"Of course, it’s also possible that the alien race intends to use Xinghui, secretly gaining control of the Star Palace."

Such tactics of controlling humans for alien purposes were something Jiang Xiaobai had encountered many times.

However, in the Earth Immortal domain now, he didn’t have the power to clean it up.

"I’ve indeed been considering that angle. If you hadn’t come, I was already preparing to settle the scores myself."

Li Liuqing said calmly, "But with your presence, I thought of another way. Hmm, why not seize this chance to stir things up? Let the Earth Immortal domain and the North Sea directly become your reinforcements?"

"What do you know?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at Li Liuqing and felt his scalp tingle.

This old man’s calculations were extensive; if he wasn’t privy to something, Jiang Xiaobai truly wouldn’t believe it.

Li Liuqing didn’t respond. "Do you have a clever plan?"

"Of course, I have a perfect plan!"

Jiang Xiaobai casually pulled out a key. "This thing can directly unlock your inheritance realm. During tomorrow’s critical election moment, we’ll have Hu Sheng make a move. Xinghui says you need to win the election first to open it? Haha, I’ll simply skip the election and open it directly!"

"You... Where did you get this?"

Li Liuqing was stunned.

This was supposed to be a secret inheritance of their Star Palace, something outsiders were almost never aware of. Yet Jiang Xiaobai not only knew about it but also had the key to unlock it? This was madness!

Li Liuqing even began to suspect that Jiang Xiaobai might be an illegitimate descendant left behind by a significant figure in the Star Palace!

"Don’t pry into the secrets of the trade."

Jiang Xiaobai said, "Just tell me—under these circumstances, can we win?"

"Yes, if this proves genuine, we can immediately dethrone Xinghui tomorrow. It will also allow us to clean house."

An icy grin surfaced on Li Liuqing’s face. At this moment, the deeply concealed side of the sect leader revealed his domineering nature.

True strongmen are masters of concealment.

Perhaps even Xinghui himself didn’t expect such a scenario. Jiang Xiaobai was highly curious to see Xinghui’s expression when everything unraveled tomorrow.

And how would the alien race manipulating him from behind react? They might go berserk!

Thinking about this, Jiang Xiaobai suddenly felt a headache forming.

"Let me ask you a question—if tomorrow spirals out of control and the alien race flips the table and resorts to direct action, can your Star Palace withstand it?" Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his face.

He was genuinely annoyed because once things escalated, the alien race’s focus would once again land squarely on him!

The last time in the mountain secret realm, a supreme being intervened. If multiple supreme beings came afterward, it would be unmanageable.

He couldn’t rely on burning two billion points every time, could he?

He didn’t even have enough points to cover the expenses!

"Hah, the alien race wouldn’t take such drastic measures in a critical moment. Even if they did, my Star Palace has stood firm for millions of years—why would we fear them?"

Li Liuqing sneered.

From there, the two didn’t discuss cooperative strategies further. Instead, Jiang Xiaobai disclosed his intention to invite other supreme beings to explore the secret realm.

Considering it’s the Star Palace’s secret realm, Jiang Xiaobai thought it wouldn’t be appropriate to make unilateral decisions.

Li Liuqing was delighted, though. According to him, if there were indeed treasures and opportunities within the secret realm, they should naturally belong to the disciples of the Star Palace.

Moreover, those supreme beings wouldn’t dare to act against the Star Palace—Heavenly Palace would never tolerate that.

More importantly, the Star Palace was unafraid!

Don’t ask why!

They simply weren’t afraid!

Their deep foundation remained intact. Even if a dozen supreme beings arrived, it wouldn’t matter!

The two spent a long time standing atop the mountain, talking amidst the frigid wind, before finally leaving.

Upon arriving at the courtyard halfway up the mountain, Jiang Xiaobai prepared to contact those supreme beings, inviting them to wade into the murky waters, all while considering if he could pull them into his plans.

At that moment, Xiaotian Dog spoke up: "Kid, it seems clear now—the alien race has already infiltrated the Star Palace."

It detailed to Jiang Xiaobai the events it had observed during the banquet, instantly catching his attention.

"So the young man must be Xinghui. More importantly, he’s colluding with the alien race and there’s a connection to the black mist from the Dead Sea?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow. "This is no trivial matter. If the Dead Sea runs into problems, it’s almost certain to be the alien race’s doing. No, it’s definitely them!"

Jiang Xiaobai found himself wanting to curse! Just as he was starting to form alliances among the Earth Immortal domain’s forces to fight the alien race, they were already targeting the critical point of the Dead Sea!

If the Dead Sea fell apart, there would be no need for an alien invasion—the Earth Immortal domain would likely face annihilation.

"What’s your plan tomorrow—or shall we go to the Dead Sea to investigate now?" Xiaotian Dog reminded him. "The Dead Sea is of utmost importance. If the alien race is targeting it, we don’t have the luxury of waiting."

"No rush. Even if it deteriorates, the Four Seas Dragon Kings are keeping watch. Let’s first ask Ao Nong about the situation."

He carried Ao Nong’s communication talisman and promptly reached out.

At that moment, Ao Nong was overwhelmed. After investigating the situation alongside the other three Dragon Kings, they had confirmed that the Dead Sea was indeed compromised!

Some death energy from heaven and earth had leaked out. These forces were incredibly difficult to handle—if they weren’t, they wouldn’t have been sealed in the Dead Sea but refined long ago!

The quantity was substantial, and if it erupted, the first to suffer would be the Dragon Palace close to the North Sea!

It could even be utterly annihilated!

As Ao Nong and the others discussed countermeasures, he received Jiang Xiaobai’s message, and his immediate reaction was one of bewilderment.

"How did outsiders come to know of such severity already?"

Ao Nong was stunned but reasoned it was unlikely. If outsiders were aware, the Heavenly Palace would have reacted first!

The Four Dragon Kings held some knowledge of the Heavenly Palace’s origins!

The Qing Emperor would never sit idly by!

After some thought, Ao Nong tentatively replied: "Mr. Jiang, how did you hear of the Dead Sea troubles?"

"Heh, don’t be surprised if tomorrow I manage to capture the mastermind behind the Dead Sea upheaval."

Jiang Xiaobai’s response sent Ao Nong into a frenzy!

While Ao Nong struggled to address the Dead Sea’s predicament, Jiang Xiaobai had already identified the culprit?

Ao Nong instantly slammed the table and leapt to his feet.

"Bastard! Someone truly dared to stir trouble from the shadows!"

The other three Dragon Kings around him were astonished to see their elder brother so agitated.

"Big brother, judging by your reaction, have we found the culprit?"

"Let’s move against them—if I catch the bastard behind this, I’ll peel their skin alive myself!"

"Those dogs! How dare they target the Dead Sea? Do they plan to destroy the Earth Immortal domain?"

The three Dragon Kings were livid.

This was beyond audacious—messing with the Dead Sea was practically shaking heaven and earth! Who in all realms had the audacity for such a stunt?

The trio even began preparing their contacts, ready to follow Ao Nong’s lead in dealing with the instigator hidden among them!
