Chapter 816: Grand Scale

For the elder team of the three-tribe alliance, Yi Chen held only one attitude.

That was to welcome their arrival.

Although he had successfully gathered the resource materials needed for the sixth and seventh generations of Cave Paradises through the elder team of the three races before,

he also obtained a large amount of high-quality immortal materials that could enhance the talents and training speed of the strong.

His demand for these two aspects was not too high.

But based solely on the luck of these elder teams, he would make a significant profit.

The biggest trouble was that the elder teams of the three races were acting secretly, making it hard to track their exact locations.

Thus, even though Yi Chen knew the elder team of the three tribes was coming to the Golden Cloud Star Cluster, he could not rush to resolve them.

Fortunately, it was only a matter of time.

The purpose of the elders of the three-tribe alliance was to kill him and destroy the Great Flame Empire.

These elders would find ways to present themselves.

He only needed to focus on his cultivation.

In fact, that was precisely what he was doing.

After the Great Flame Empire’s third expansion success, its sphere of influence had surged several times.

His talent bonus also increased several times as a result.

His training speed not only did not slow down but instead improved significantly.

Level 227, level 228, level 229…

Just as Yi Chen successfully broke through to level 230,

the Great Flame Empire had completed its consolidation and was preparing to launch its fourth expansion, while the strong team of the three-tribe alliance finally gathered in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster.

Leading the team were the Second Elders from the three races.

Like last time, this time the number of elders participating from each race reached over thirty.

None of the elders who participated in the previous formation of the elder team were present this time.

If Yi Chen knew this, he would surely feel joy in his heart.

That was because the luck of the elders from the last formation had been almost entirely drained by him, and if they ran over again, there would be no luck left for him to draw.

The number of elders was similar to last time, but this time, the number of level 230 and level 220 strong fighters far exceeded the previous occurrence.

Last time, among the elder team formed by the three races, there were only twenty level 230 strong fighters and about two hundred level 220 strong fighters in each team.

This time, the elder team comprised over one hundred level 230 strong fighters and more than a thousand level 220 strong fighters.

The circumstances led to this, as the elder team of the three-tribe alliance aimed at Yi Chen while also preparing two plans.

In case they could not track Yi Chen’s coordinates, they intended to use various large races as bait to ambush the Great Flame Empire’s army, forcing Yi Chen to reveal himself.

After the grand elder team converged in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster, the elders from the three races gathered together to discuss the next plan.

With over ninety level 240 elders gathered within the defensive barriers, the scale was such that only important meetings of the three dominant races would see such an assembly.

“Since everyone is here, let’s discuss the details of our collective action plan!”

The Second Elder of the Time Tribe spoke first.

The elders present nodded in agreement.

The plan had actually been prepared long ago when the leaders of the three races reached an agreement and signed a contract.

However, even though the plan was set, actual implementation would definitely need adjustments based on the situation at hand.

“According to the tracked data and information, the current situation is pretty much as we expected.”

The Second Elder of the Reincarnation Tribe said, “The various races conquered by the Great Flame Empire have begun to gather their armies. Unless something unexpected happens, they may launch a new round of expansion in just a few days.”

“And according to our predictions, if the Great Flame Empire maintains the pace of its previous three expansions, it is highly likely to target the recently powerful large race known as the Cracked Shell Tribe for invasion this time.”

“So, following the original plan, we can use the Cracked Shell Tribe as bait and find a way to lure out the strongest member of humanity.”

“But since we have a few more days, can we try to go to the life planet, the stronghold of the Great Flame Empire, and directly search for and track the strongest member of humanity?”

As soon as these words were spoken, all ninety or so elders fell into silence.

Searching the stronghold of the Great Flame Empire first was undoubtedly the best choice.

Even if they couldn’t find Yi Chen, they could still try to lie in wait on that life planet and, when the time was right, control the high-ranking leaders and the civilians of the Great Flame Empire.

With the Cracked Shell Tribe as bait, successfully ambushing and controlling the strong fighters and army of the Great Flame Empire could directly reduce Yi Chen to a mere figurehead.

In such a situation, Yi Chen would have to reveal himself.

But while the idea was good, daring to implement it was another matter.

The elder teams of the three races had previously fallen into traps and encountered ambushes in the stronghold of the Great Flame Empire, leading to them being individually dismantled and all heavily injured and captured.

This time, they would certainly send only a few elders to test the waters.

However, none of the elders present dared to be the ones to venture first.

“I think we should send a group of level 230 strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques to try it out!” one elder suggested.

“I agree.”

“Yes! The main goal of this action is to track the strongest member of humanity, and there’s no need for elder-level strong fighters to participate.”

“In fact, sending elder-level strong fighters would only expose our alliance.”

“The main reason is that the strongest member of humanity has the Shadow King by their side. And the Shadow King’s stealth techniques are sufficient to evade detection even by level 240 strong fighters. In such a case, if an elder goes, they wouldn’t find the strongest member of humanity and might even risk having their own presence detected.”

“Deploying level 230 strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques is not only more covert. Because they’re not strong fighters from our three races, even if something unexpected occurs, it won’t expose our alliance or our arrival in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster.”

“If successful, the effect wouldn’t be worse than sending elders. Because level 230 strong fighters are already capable of controlling the citizens and high-ranking leaders of the Great Flame Empire.”

As soon as this was said, all the elders agreed.

The Second Elders from the three races also nodded in unison.

“Since everyone has no objections, let’s decide on that. Select a group of level 230 strong fighters skilled in stealth techniques who are not from our three races to serve as pioneers, and let them find a way to infiltrate the life planet that is the stronghold of the Great Flame Empire, waiting for the action orders.”

The Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe spoke, “To be cautious, let’s first send the strongest level 230 strong fighter in stealth techniques alone. Once we confirm everything is fine, we can then notify the other strong fighters to go.”

Everyone nodded.

This way, if anything goes wrong with the level 230 strong fighter, the others can evacuate at once.

Not only does this protect the other strong fighters as much as possible, but most importantly, sending only one level 230 strong fighter makes it unlikely for Yi Chen to suspect the alliance of the three races and the arrival of the elder team in the Golden Cloud Star Cluster.
