"Not only that—thanks to the efforts of every doctor here, these fifteen Foundation Establishment experts have not only been thoroughly brainwashed by us, but each one's cultivation realm has been greatly elevated. Gathered together, these fifteen constitute a most formidable fighting force. They will play a vital role in our next steps under the Primordial Plan," Lan Xiaoru continued.
Thunderous applause broke out once more. Dr. Glasses was stirred with emotion, while Brother Dafeng, seated at the very edge, could not help breaking into a cold sweat. These fifteen Foundation Establishment experts had now all been incorporated into the Hunter Team. The weakest among them was at the mid Foundation Establishment stage, and the strongest had actually reached Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. Once such a Hunter Team went into action, the very thought of the situation was enough to make one shudder.
"According to intelligence, we have by now captured nearly all the Foundation Establishment experts of the Primordial Alliance who were scattered across the secular world operating on their own. Even if one or two slip through the net, they are not worth our spending much more effort on. Therefore I announce that, effective today, the Primordial Plan formally enters its second phase," Lan Xiaoru said gravely.
"The second phase?" Everyone exchanged glances. Although they were all core members, this Primordial Plan was cloaked in the strictest secrecy, and even they did not know what follow-up operations were planned. Only Lan Xiaoru truly knew the whole picture—and Dr. Glasses, the plan's architect.
"Correct. Strictly speaking, every operation in the first phase was merely the prelude and groundwork for the second. Now that the lone small fry drifting about have been gathered up more or less, it is time for us to get down to real business. Our next target is Shennongjia," Lan Xiaoru said, a gleam in her eyes.
"Shennongjia?" Everyone was startled at these words, their expressions shifting. "You mean the concentration camp of those Primordial Alliance experts?"
"Correct. Everything is now in readiness; it is time to take a larger stride," Lan Xiaoru said with a nod.
"Dr. Lan, isn't this a bit too risky? True, we have fifteen Foundation Establishment experts on our side, but the Primordial Alliance has far more Foundation Establishment experts than we do, and they even have Golden Core experts leading them. Charging in rashly like this, I'm afraid we won't come out ahead," the others said, exchanging glances.
Though their understanding of the Primordial Alliance had been scant before, now that they had such a group of Foundation Establishment experts under control, all manner of information about the Alliance was naturally clear as day. Smooth progress was all well and good, but let joy carry one into too great a stride and one would pull a muscle.
Lan Xiaoru looked at them with a faint, ambiguous smile, thinking to herself that these doctors were indeed the cream of the crop in their respective fields, but if such people were to be put in charge of the overall situation, they would probably never accomplish anything in their lives. They were suited only to academia and research—after all, not everyone was as fiercely ambitious as Dr. Glasses.
"Shennongjia is only our general direction for what comes next. No one said we have to launch a head-on assault, did they? Everyone, we do things with our brains." Dr. Glasses stepped forward at once. (To be continued.)
