Chapter 1422: Magic Plane

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1422: Magic Plane

"The Magical Plane seems to be playing a clever game, making us do the dirty and laborious work of eliminating hidden dangers for them. In the end, all the treasures that the Vlad Clan has accumulated over the years are distributed by them! After they prioritize their choices, we only get twenty percent of the remaining spoils. Are they treating us like beggars? This is just shameless!" Zheng Jia Ru slapped the armrest of the sofa in outrage after listening to Mei Simiao explain the terms of negotiation with the Magical Plane.

Like the Vlad Clan, which has been passed down for generations, its treasures are enough to tempt any force, and even more so the Investigation Hall which is in a rising phase and urgently needs resources to enhance its strength. It still makes sense for the host, the Magical Plane, to obtain a portion of the spoils. However, according to the agreement, although they dispatch people to accompany us, they won’t take action in critical moments and are only responsible for monitoring the Investigation Hall’s team to prevent them from doing anything extreme against the Vlad Clan. Despite this, they will still take away eighty percent of the spoils and have the priority in choosing, which feels excessively oppressive.

"Our immediate priority is to bring down the Vlad Clan. The longer this drags on, the harder it will be to accomplish! In this regard, the three major councils don’t share the urgency. This clan has existed for many years and rose to power under Delacuri, but now that Delacuri is dead, the threat posed by this clan is greatly diminished to them. It’s precisely for this reason that the three major councils intentionally make things difficult for us. The Witch Association’s stance isn’t too bad! It’s mainly the Bright Church that remains indifferent to this proposal aimed at the Blood Race, and the Mage Tower’s blame toward our actions is even harsher. The current results are already the best outcome after repeated negotiations." Mei Simiao recalled the negotiations over the past few days with a stomach full of anger, yet since it’s someone else’s territory, what could he do but grudgingly accept it?

"Twenty percent it is, then! Our main goal is the destruction of the Vlad Clan. As long as they don’t interfere during this process, this time we’ll let them benefit from it."

Pei Yan understood perfectly why the Bright Church and Mage Tower were deliberately difficult, as the Mage Tower was backed by Flamel, who had been beaten several times by Pei Yan into doubting his own abilities, and the Bright Church, not to mention, had several of its Round Table Holy Knights had suffered at Pei Yan’s hands. One Round Table Knight died under the triple assault of Zheng Jia Ru’s group, and another fell at Pei Yan’s hands. These grudges are not easily resolved.

Pei Yan didn’t intend to resolve these grudges anyway. Smirking coldly, he thought, "Since today’s business is to be done on their turf, let’s give them some face and lie low. What goes around comes around, I refuse to believe there won’t be times when the Magical Plane needs our help."

With the task decided, no one else had objections. This operation aimed at the Vlad Clan meant Pei Yan’s team was being deployed collectively. Aside from Gu Shenghui, even Pei Jin joined the team, along with Wang Wenze, Jiang Donghu, and Liang Qian. These individuals had just finished executing patrols at various Superpower Investigation Agency security points and joined this operation without resting, partly for revenge for their team, but mainly because this operation targeted the entire Vlad Clan. Although this clan, unlike White Deer Institute, doesn’t have numerous disciples or vast influence, its overall strength cannot be underestimated. Therefore, besides dispatching multiple Children of Origin, the Investigation Hall provided five level 9 Superpower Users, fifteen level 8 Superpower Users, and selected four hundred excellent level 7 Superpower Users from specially trained agents who had signed contracts with the Nine-tailed Fox Race and the Fenrir Clan.

This mission’s primary purpose is to eradicate the Vlad Clan, with the secondary purpose being to train the team’s combat ability, while simultaneously showcasing the Investigation Hall’s strength to accompanying supporters from several planes, thereby remedying its previously weak image during prior disruptions. Wang Wenze and others are the leaders responsible for the grouping and leading of these four hundred people.

The team quickly assembled without any delay, then led by Pei Yan, they traversed the previously established space passage to the Magical Plane. At the other end of the passage, the people from Immortal Palace, Dragon Realm, and the three major councils had been waiting for quite some time.

The representatives sent by Immortal Palace and Dragon Realm were familiar faces. Immortal Palace included Liu Xuanji and Situ Maocai, except another member had changed from Heaven-Questioning Talisman to Feng Tianhe. To Pei Yan’s surprise, potentially for the sake of excitement, those initially uninvited like Lin Daozi appeared in the team, bringing her sister and junior disciples along. On the Dragon Realm’s side were Jin He Xuan and Long Jin, but this time two more joined. One Pei Yan knew, the Red Dragon Race Clan Leader Celt, while the other was a charming and alluring woman Pei Yan hadn’t met but had guessed her identity. As Long Jin introduced her, it confirmed Pei Yan’s suspicion that she was Tushan Yueya, the Nine-tailed Fox Race Clan Leader.

On the other side, the people from the Magical Plane evidently acknowledged that sending members of the Mage Tower could ignite unnecessary conflict, so they dispatched a bishop from the Bright Church and two witches. Their task was to monitor the Investigation Hall’s team. Upon seeing Pei Yan and others arriving, the three, who had previously conversed happily with the other two planes, suddenly turned solemn, showing a lukewarm and business-like attitude towards the approaching Mei Simiao. Watching aside, Pei Yan’s heart sneered, this might be for the better, as he wasn’t in the mood to exchange pleasantries with such people and wanted to quickly handle the Vlad Clan matters, with no wish to return to such a troublesome place if unnecessary.

"Very well, the number and levels match what you reported! But I want to ask about the upcoming tasks, if there isn’t interference from Blood Shura, do you really not require our assistance?" The bishop from the Bright Church posed with an air of aloof superiority, entrusting communication issues to the Saint Violet Witch Audess to manage.

From the data, Pei Yan knew witches were ranked by the color of their wizard robes, with the lowest, Apprentice Witch, donning gray robes, while the Saint Violet Witch was the pinnacle among witches, equivalent to a Heavenly Dao Realm figure. Her words clearly indicated disbelief in Pei Yan’s team’s strength, seemingly reminding the terms upfront so they could gloat should the Investigation Hall encounter difficulties.

"Yes! These are all the participants in this operation, and if we indeed face difficulties, we will find ways to solve them ourselves." Mei Simiao responded with dignity.

"Alright, you may begin! I wish you a smooth operation and hope you keep the destruction area controlled to avoid harming civilians." Audess slightly bowed to Mei Simiao, her tone calm and polite. With these words, she returned to her team, silently observing Pei Yan and his team’s every move.
