Chapter 2724: False Report of Military Intel

"Alright, disperse," Commander Jia You said with a grim expression.

If it were possible, he wouldn't want to do this either, but he had no choice; he couldn't refuse a task forcibly assigned from above.

He himself might even perish while carrying out this mission.

In fact, when carrying out missions in the Buddhist Realm's territory, the worst fate wasn't death, but being controlled by the people of the Buddhist Realm, having one's mind clouded, and being forced to shave one's head and become a monk—that was the most tragic outcome.

Xiao Fan returned to his room, holding the communication jade slip for Huian, his expression dark.

"Still no news…"

The situation ahead looked bleak, and Xiao Fan wasn't clear on the true meaning of this mission.

Was it truly a conspiracy by Immortal Lord Wen Zhen? If so, what would the opponent do next?

Xiao Fan thought for a long time but couldn't guess Immortal Lord Wen Zhen's next plan.

"Forget it, I'll wait and see," Xiao Fan murmured.

Three days passed in a flash.

Everyone from Fortress 199 assembled. Commander Jia You had already arranged for a small number of personnel to stay and guard the fortress, with instructions to contact reinforcements immediately in case of an enemy attack.

Fortress 199 was located in a remote area; in fact, even if it fell, it would be of little consequence to the overall territory of the Kongchen Realm.

Commander Jia You was well aware of this…

"Alright, let's go." Commander Jia You looked at everyone. Before departing, he specifically emphasized to the Disciples who had joined from the Kongchen Realm that they must follow his commands later and must not act impulsively, otherwise they would easily mess things up and implicate everyone.

Everyone responded in unison and then followed him as they departed.

Xiao Fan was at the very back of the group, acting cautiously along the way…

This was his first time heading out after arriving at the Heavens Battlefield. Once they reached the outside, Xiao Fan saw the landscape of the exterior world.

The fortress they were in previously was a barrier connecting their respective Great Realms and defending against invasions from outsiders.

Outside this barrier, the world was a broken, blood-soaked apocalyptic wasteland filled with the scent of blood. Rivers of blood flowed on the ground, having been stagnant for unknown years, and countless wreckage of Magical Artifacts lay there, weathered by endless ages.

Xiao Fan quietly glanced around and noticed that there were very few people outside.

Before setting out, Commander Jia You had specifically emphasized that no one should make a sound on the road; if anything happened, they should use private voice transmissions… and they had to suppress their Qi at all times while following him quietly.

This was a method of self-protection.

There was no other way; the dangers of the Heavens Battlefield far exceeded imagination. If one were exposed in such a place, it would be extremely dangerous.

Upon encountering experts from other factions, the opponent might strike at any moment…

In a flash, a day had passed since Xiao Fan and the others left, yet they still hadn't reached the territory of the Buddhist Realm.

At the same time, during this day, Xiao Fan saw traces left behind by countless experts; even after tens of millions of years, terrifying auras still lingered upon them…

From this, one could see just how dangerous the Heavens Battlefield truly was.

Fortunately, the Heavens Battlefield had remained stable for the past few centuries, without any large-scale chaotic battles breaking out.

Otherwise, Xiao Fan wouldn't have been able to see Hou Yangbiao at all… cannon fodder like them would have died long ago.

At this moment, Xiao Fan narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance; a large number of expert auras were approaching from ahead…

In their group, the one with the highest Realm was Commander Jia You, at the fifth level of the Nirvana Realm.

Though his Realm wasn't weak, he would be completely vulnerable before a truly powerful expert.

As for the leader, Commander Jia You, he hadn't noticed the danger gradually approaching from ahead at all. If a chaotic battle broke out later, Xiao Fan had the ability to protect himself and leave, but the others would likely be wiped out.

Xiao Fan thought for a moment and sent a voice transmission to Commander Jia You: "Commander, enemies are approaching from ahead."

"Huh?" Commander Jia You was stunned and looked ahead in disbelief. Enemies?

But Commander Jia You spread out his Divine Soul and found nothing at all…

Commander Jia You turned his head and looked at Xiao Fan with an unfriendly expression, feeling that this guy was playing him.

An ant at the third level of the Wanwu Realm—what could he possibly see?

Was it possible that he, a fifth-level Nirvana Realm expert, hadn't discovered the danger, while an ant like Xiao Fan had?

That was impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

"Kid, shut your mouth. What's with this false report of military intel!" Commander Jia You scolded via voice transmission, sounding annoyed.

He had actually been foolish enough to spread his Divine Soul to investigate just now.

He had actually listened to Xiao Fan's nonsense.

Xiao Fan: "…"

With this kind of leader, how could the team not be wiped out?!

Nearby, others in the team followed Commander Jia You's gaze, all wondering why the commander was staring at Xiao Fan with such an unfriendly expression.

Xiao Fan had used voice transmission just now, so except for Commander Jia You, no one knew what Xiao Fan had said.

"Commander, it's real. Investigate carefully… listen to me," Xiao Fan said via voice transmission, feeling speechless.

If Commander Jia You still didn't believe him and the team was wiped out, then he couldn't be blamed.

Xiao Fan had done his best to prevent it.

"Damn it, you're so talkative! What can a tiny Wanwu Realm like you detect? Huh!" Commander Jia You replied crossly via voice transmission.

However, just as the transmission ended, he was suddenly stunned…

Because he sensed a large number of auras approaching from ahead.
