Chapter 334: East Sea Palace, Intelligence Disclosure

A few days later, the news of the strange scene in the East China Sea quickly spread throughout the world.

There were numerous and extensive reports abroad saying that the Mitch Strategic Bureau had begun to take the lead and was going to share this secret realm with Onmyoin and Lihuain.

Guess who wasn't invited?
The Privy Council chose to retaliate by marking out an area near the secret realm and began long-term exercises.

Public opinion outside immediately became boiling. How dare you draw a line in international waters?

The Privy Council said that I was conducting a normal exercise and that certain forces should not be overly nervous.

After days of criticism from outside, seeing that the Privy Council remained unmoved, the Mitch Strategic Bureau, just opposite the Privy Council, also demarcated military areas and announced that it would conduct long-term three-party military exercises with Onmyoin and Ewhain.

Everyone knows that the military exercise is just a cover to occupy the territory first.

Once the secret realm was truly opened, the Privy Council deployed defenses to block it, and countless foreign transcendents risked their lives to rush in. How many could be stopped in the end depended on the courage and strategic fortitude of the Lu Privy Council—with greater courage and firepower, more could be stopped, but of course the risk of war would also increase; with greater fortitude, fewer could be stopped, but the price would be a higher intensity of competition in the secret realm.

It is said that Chen Tianming strongly advocated "unrestricted fire", "maximum deterrence" and "total interception" in the Privy Council, while several others expressed strong opposition, with the old reason of course being "we cannot isolate ourselves from modern society."

Because outside the secret realm, once warships and artillery clashed and exchanged fire, it would easily lead to an infinite escalation of the conflict, and no one could swallow this breath;

In the secret realm, the extraordinary people rely on their own abilities, and their life and death are determined by fate, so there is not much risk of war - as long as the center of the secret realm is controlled by the other party, even if you turn the table over, you cannot change the facts. The result, of course, is that you don't turn the table over and leave in disgrace.

After Yan Yu heard this, he immediately called and mocked Jing Ye:
"Old Liu, I heard your family abstained from voting in the Privy Council?"

"How do you know?" Liu Longtao asked in surprise.

"Chen Lingyun told me that someone was a coward," Yan Yu said briefly. "Guess who it was?"

"Haha." Liu Longtao sneered, "Do you think your father-in-law has any good intentions? If the friction with the enemy escalates this time, the Privy Council will have to increase its investment in the Pacific Front, and the Zhendong Army's voice will also increase. And Commander Li and he are from the same faction, understand? He's not trying to reduce the so-called 'risk of the secret realm competition' at all, he's simply motivated by his own interests."

"Why don't I understand?" Yan Yu chuckled, "How dare you say that your family abstained from voting? Isn't that also because of your own interests?"

"Really not," Liu Longtao said confidently. "We all agree that your father-in-law is so radical even before he comes in. He's bound to cause chaos once he does. We need to keep him under control. This is for his own good."

"Pressure, I can suppress it." Yan Yu said indifferently, "He is not my father-in-law now."

"Not now, but maybe not in the future?" Liu Longtao laughed. "Old Yan, let me tell you, at the Privy Council's joint meeting, one faction even suggested not allowing the Zhenhai Squadron to participate in the war."

"Is this true?" Yan Yu was shocked. "Did they have a stroke or Alzheimer's? If I don't go, who will fight in the secret realm? Are we relying on you?"

"Hey!" Liu Longtao laughed in anger. "Why can't I? I can punch Lihuayuan with my left hand and kick Yinyangyuan with my right foot. I can knock them all down in a matter of minutes, okay?"

"Forget it. I won't go this time. Leave it to your Longxiong team." Yan Yu immediately waved his hand and said.

"Don't be like that," Liu Longtao said with a smile. "They were just testing the waters, and when they saw we all disagreed, they gave up. I'm telling you, even though you don't consider Chen Tianming your father-in-law, when the higher-ups are fighting him, they'll also come and step on you—there's nothing they can do about it. Your innocent body has already been labeled a member of the Chen family."

"It doesn't matter." Yan Yu was also happy. "Who dares to really step on it? Don't you want me, the Dragon City Flying General, to fight?"

"That's right." Liu Longtao couldn't deny that whether Yan Yu participated in the battle was crucial to the secret realm strategy itself. "Anyway, just keep it in mind. By the way!" After hanging up the phone, Yan Yu fell into deep thought.

Bastard Chen Lingyun, damn Chen family, how come I, a young and promising young man with the surname Yan, became yours?

No, I have to take it out on that little mushroom.

When I arrived at the underground training ground, I saw that the girls were seizing the time to breathe and refine their Qi, striving to reach the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage as soon as possible.

The one who has made the fastest progress at the moment is Su Yunjin, followed by Lin Ning. Both of them have vaguely touched the bottleneck and it is estimated that they can start practicing the method of fasting this week.

"This time next week, there's still one person in our team who hasn't started practicing Bigu yet." Yan Yu came to Chen Lingyun's side and asked slowly, "Who is it?"

"No rush." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "The Secret Realm of the Palace will not open so soon. There is still time."

"You even know the name so soon?" Yan Yu asked, "Isn't it still open?"

"The Privy Council is overseeing a project called the Space Boundary Breaking Method," Chen Lingyun replied. "It involves sending in reconnaissance drones or even monks before the secret realm itself is opened to inspect the situation."

"Yeah." Yan Yu also understood and nodded, saying, "I heard that Master Jing's family got a lot of good treasures from this. The Tianyuan Yiqi Sword that Ruoxi used was obtained that way."

"This technology isn't mature yet," Chen Lingyun continued. "Whether they're sending people or drones, the success rate is only about 50%. Otherwise, they'd just send us in before the secret realm opens, and once we take down the core, we're done."

The success rate is only 50%, so it goes without saying what will happen if it fails. Yan Yu was silent for a while and then said in detail:
"If I remember correctly, the Li Palace should be a test-type secret realm. The test subject needs to pass six levels in a random order and finally enter the Li Palace to receive the reward."

"When entering the secret realm, the initial level is completely random. Even if a team enters together, they will be separated."

"However, the world map of each level is extremely large. Therefore, even if you act alone, you can easily hide."

"After passing all six levels, you'll be teleported to the Li Palace Square. Not only is the terrain here open and difficult to hide, but everyone's final destination is here."

"In other words," Chen Lingyun quickly reacted, "reach the finish line first, then surround and attack the reinforcements."

"Yes." Yan Yu said, "The Secret Realm of the Palace has no central hub. After opening, it will automatically close after twelve hours, sending everyone out, and then disappear again."

"If I fail to enter the palace and claim my reward, then this trip would be in vain and I would return empty-handed."

"Are rewards distributed based on individuals?" Chen Lingyun asked sharply.

"Yes, the final reward rank is determined by your performance in the levels and the order in which you arrive at the Palace," Yan Yu replied. "Also, if you rank outside the top ten, not only will your reward be zero, but you'll also reportedly be scolded when the settlement is final."

"If that's the case, then what we have to do is very simple." Chen Lingyun said with a smile, "We need to clear the level first."

"Then guard the gate of the palace." Yan Yu also said in a deep voice, "Kill them all who come and hold them until the palace is closed."
