362: Chapter 362 The Plan of Confrontation

As soon as these words were spoken, even Yan Jiuyue, who was standing to the side, furrowed her brows.

"No, it's too dangerous!"

She couldn't help but interject, "Isn't this using Little Brother Chen Yi as bait? Besides, if we're going to the Space-Time Rift, many of us won't be able to go along!"

Indeed, according to the rules of the Space-Time Rift, only spirit beasts with Light, Dark, or Chaos Attributes could enter.

In Chen Yi's team, only six people met the requirements: Su Taotao with the Dark Attribute, Hua Yuetong with the Light Attribute, Hua Xingtong with the Dark Attribute, Lilian with the Light Attribute, Black Rose with the Dark Attribute, and Shi Yuying with the Chaos Attribute.

This meant that Chen Yi's combat power would be cut in half.

"I know it's dangerous!"

Luo Qinghe's voice came through the phone, "But—we really have no other choice! Especially now, there's someone at the tenth stage of the Tier 14 in the Demon Abyss Cult; we simply can't be their match!"

Yan Jiuyue fell silent and looked at Chen Yi, her eyes filled with worry.

She knew that what Luo Qinghe said was the truth.

If an existence at Emilia's level were to actually take action, the entire Dragon Kingdom probably wouldn't be able to stop her.

However, Chen Yi fell into deep thought.

He felt that something was not quite right.

Given the Demon Abyss Cult's style of doing things, would they let a secret agent obtain such important information so easily?

Just then, Black Rose and Lilian walked over from the other side of the Crystal Palace at the same time, both with serious expressions.

"Chen Yi, I have received an order from the Queen."

Black Rose spoke first, her voice low, "She demands that no matter what, I must bring you into the Space-Time Rift."

Almost simultaneously, Lilian also said, "I've seen images of the future! Choosing to go into the Space-Time Rift is actually our best option!"

Chen Yi, Yan Jiuyue, and Luo Qinghe on the other end of the phone were all stunned.

Black Rose had received the Queen's order—this meant that the information about the Space-Time Rift was indeed intentionally leaked by the Demon Abyss Cult with the aim of luring Chen Yi there.

But Lilian's Future Sight confirmed that they must go to the Space-Time Rift...

"What on earth is going on?"

Chen Yi couldn't help but grumble, "Could it be that, according to the Demon Abyss Cult's thinking, going into the Space-Time Rift is the optimal solution?"

Luo Qinghe on the other end of the phone fell silent.

The solution that the Six Dragon Generals had spent half a day in an emergency meeting discussing was actually just them being led by the nose by the Demon Abyss Cult?

Chen Yi pondered for a few seconds and looked at Lilian, "Did your Future Sight see anything else?"

Lilian nodded, a silver light flashing in her eyes, "Emilia was there too—but she was fighting as an ally. As for the specific reason, I don't know yet."

"Emilia? An ally?"

Chen Yi was completely bewildered.

He could actually form an alliance with the strongest person in the Demon Abyss Cult?

This was simply unheard of.

But Lilian's prophecies had never been wrong.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and made a decision, "Alright, let's go! I trust Lilian's prophecy!"

"But, Little Brother Chen Yi."

Yan Jiuyue interjected again, "If you go, many of us won't be able to accompany you."

She was right.

Only six people could enter the Space-Time Rift, which was equivalent to stripping away half of Chen Yi's combat power.

This was definitely an extremely perilous matter.

"It's fine. Since the prophecy saw Emilia, there shouldn't be much of a problem regarding combat power!"

"Do we really have to do this?"

Yan Jiuyue's eyes were full of worry, "I just have a bad feeling about this."

Chen Yi smiled and reached out to rub Yan Jiuyue's head, "It's okay! I have many more tricks up my sleeve than you think, so don't worry!"

Luo Qinghe on the other end of the phone said, "Chen Yi, we'll head over to your place in a bit. It's better to discuss this plan again from the beginning."

"Mm, no problem!"

---

Before long, Luo Qinghe brought the other five Dragon Generals and a group of high-level officials from the Dragon Kingdom's military into the Crystal Palace.

"Is this the Crystal Palace? It certainly lives up to its reputation."

Wang Shihao looked at the magnificent buildings around him and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "A small world of its own, integrated offense and defense, and it can be carried around—such a supreme treasure is truly enviable!"

The other Dragon Generals also nodded one after another, their eyes full of wonder.

But Luo Qinghe was in no mood to appreciate these things and cleared his throat twice, "Let's get straight to the point."

Everyone came to the Crystal Palace's Council Chamber, which had already been set up with a Sand Table and maps according to Chen Yi's request.

Chen Yi stood before the Sand Table, his gaze sweeping over everyone present—the Six Dragon Generals, eight high-level military officials, and the women by his side.

"Before we begin, I want to confirm one thing."

Chen Yi spoke slowly, "Grandpa Luo, are you sure that the source of that information is reliable?"

Luo Qinghe nodded, "It's information sent back by an Undercover Agent who has been lurking inside the Demon Abyss Cult for twenty years, so it should be reliable! However—looking at it now, this might be news intentionally released by the Demon Abyss Cult!"

"Then that's right."

Chen Yi nodded, "The Demon Abyss Cult wants to lure me to the Space-Time Rift, and Lilian's prophecy also says we must go—this indicates that there is indeed something important in the Space-Time Rift, something so important that the Demon Abyss Cult is willing to risk exposing an Undercover Agent just to lure me there!"

"Then are we still going?"

A high-level military official asked, "This is clearly a trap!"

"Go, of course we're going."

A smile curled at the corners of Chen Yi's mouth, "But how we go, when we go, and how many people we bring—these things will be decided by us!"

He walked to the Sand Table and began to explain his plan.

The plan was complex, but the core idea was simple—to beat them at their own game.

Since the Demon Abyss Cult wanted to lure him to the Space-Time Rift, then he would go with a high profile—but not now, and not in the way the Demon Abyss Cult expected!

"Everyone, listen to me, how about this method—"

Ten minutes later.

After hearing it, everyone was greatly shocked.

"How much military force will this require? Is our combat power sufficient?"

"And by doing this, wouldn't it be equivalent to an all-out war with the Demon Abyss Cult?"

"Chen Yi, have you thought this through? This isn't a joke!"

Facing everyone's doubts, Chen Yi was exceptionally calm, "It's precisely because it's not a joke that we must do this."

"Grandpa Luo, you said that if the Demon Abyss Cult's plan succeeds, this world might end!"

"In that case, why should we worry about an all-out war? Instead of waiting for them to prepare everything, it's better for us to strike first."

Luo Qinghe remained silent for a long time before finally nodding slowly, "You're right. Everyone, state your positions! I support Chen Yi's plan."

Wang Shihao gave a bitter smile, "Although it's crazy—there doesn't seem to be a better way. I support it!"

"Support."

"Support."

"I support it too!"

In the end, it was passed unanimously by everyone.

Chen Yi also broke down all the plans once more.

This time, it would likely be a direct confrontation with the Demon Abyss Cult!
