Chapter 376 Iron Hand Group Dividend Token
After the formation had devoured one-tenth of the Plane, Fang Che took the initiative to remove the disguise from a portion of the space cracks.
Since Other Planes were being devoured, his own Plane had to improve.
Only then would the various clans contribute Planes for Skills Creation, helping the Fang Che Plane recover.
If there was no change at all, the various clans would certainly believe that the Plane was intentionally faking a collapse to expand.
At that time, the various clans would create skills without restraint, and the Plane would inevitably collapse.
After resolving some of the space cracks, Fang Che continued to search for Six-Order Professionals wanted by the Plane.
At this moment, behind a certain space passage, the Six-Order Professionals who had just received rewards gathered together.
One Six-Order Professional said, "After we contributed one-tenth of the Plane, the space cracks decreased a bit. It seems we will have to contribute more Planes next."
Another Six-Order Professional beside him said, "We can't be the only ones contributing. I have already sent out the message to share the reputation of helping the Plane recover with everyone.
Presumably, other clans will soon act like us. As long as everyone contributes Planes together, the rewards will not differ much."
Everyone nodded silently, and then someone said, "The task given by the Plane to our chiefs is quite difficult. They haven't returned yet. How about your side, everyone?"
Everyone nodded, looking worried.
One Six-Order Professional said, "Although the chief can use the Suppression skill rewarded by the Plane Will, the chief's strength is too weak to spread the effect of the Suppression skill throughout the entire Plane.
This caused some enemies to hide from the chief, not engaging in direct combat, but instead destroying the areas the chief occupied.
Now, after fighting for so long, our chief has not yet suppressed the Plane Will over there. We don't know what troubles we will encounter in the future."
The others nearby also spoke up, describing the various troubles their chiefs encountered.
Originally, everyone wanted to brainstorm and find solutions, but after discussing for a long time, they found that the troubles their respective chiefs encountered were basically the same.
A moment later, one Six-Order Professional sighed, "Skills Creation is truly troublesome. Not only do we have to face difficult tasks, but we also have to help the Plane recover. Now is really not a good time for Skills Creation."
The rest of the people nodded in agreement.
However, if given another choice, everyone would still agree to their own chief creating skills.
There are too many Plane clans. Without a Six-Order Professional who creates skills, the territory cannot be protected.
Although there are various troubles now, at least the stability of the clan relations has been maintained, so it is not a loss.
Another Six-Order Professional said, "Our clan has already forbidden Skills Creation. How have you all chosen?"
Everyone said one after another, "Our clan has also stopped Skills Creation."
"Skills Creation leads to dangerous tasks, offers almost no help to clan development, and even carries a risk of death. Our clan will not create new skills either."
"Our clan is the same. Even if the Plane recovers in the future, we will not be in a hurry to create skills, unless the tasks are without danger."
Everyone said they would not create new skills, and they genuinely thought so.
However, if a chief died during a task, everyone would still not hesitate to create new skills to stabilize the relations between the various clans.
In short, everything is for better survival.
On the other side, Fang Che was still continuously searching for Six-Order wanted targets.
Every time a wanted target was eliminated, Fang Che could get at least one Plane, and if he was lucky, he could get four or five Plane coordinates.
As for other materials, they were countless.
It's just that the value of these materials was a bit low for Fang Che.
After some time passed, Fang Che discovered that after each clan destroyed a Plane, they would leave a portion of the Plane to be handed over to Fang Che.
Seeing this, Fang Che condensed more Plane Passages and handed them over to the various clans for processing.
With the help of the various clans, the recovery speed of the Fang Che Plane continuously accelerated.
Time flew by, and after more than a month, the communication token Fang Che kept by his side suddenly emitted heat.
After injecting energy, Li Xing's voice came from inside the communication token: "The task of competing for the Yan Hai Plane territory has made progress, and additionally, this year's dividends are ready. You should come back."
Upon hearing this news, Fang Che immediately stopped all his current activities, returned to the Emperor Plane, went to the Iron Hand Group, and knocked on Li Xing's door.
Li Xing quickly opened the door and smiled, "Fang Che, please come in."
"Sorry to bother you, Brother Li," Fang Che smiled slightly and walked into the room.
Li Xing closed the door, handed a notebook to Fang Che, and said, "This is the Iron Hand Group's income for this year, as well as the dividend situation.
You can exchange resources of equal value based on the dividend amount. Of course, you can also keep this dividend and exchange it for other resources in the future."
After noting down the dividend amount, Fang Che said, "I'll exchange for other resources later."
Fang Che currently lacks no resources and plans to accumulate dividends to exchange for materials that increase the Plane's level cap in the future, or to exchange for materials for creating Eight-rank skills.
Upon hearing this, Li Xing took out a token and handed it to Fang Che, saying, "This is this year's exclusive dividend token. When you want to exchange resources, you can bring this token to me."
"Okay." Fang Che took the dividend token and said, "Brother Li just told me that the task of competing for the Yan Hai Plane territory has made progress. What is the progress?"
Li Xing replied, "Some time ago, the powerhouses of the Emperor Plane occupied another portion of the Yan Hai Plane territory.
With the expansion of the occupied area, the defensive pressure on the Yan Hai Plane increased significantly, allowing us to infiltrate the Yan Hai Plane from more places.
Some time ago, a Seven-rank Professional took advantage of the battle between the two sides and successfully infiltrated the Yan Hai Plane, seizing a piece of territory from there.
Although that Seven-rank Professional was quickly discovered and eliminated, and the plundered Plane was not brought back, this is a very good start.
As long as the number of invaders increases, someone will eventually succeed in bringing back the plundered Plane."
Fang Che immediately asked, "Can I accept the task of plundering the Plane?"
Fang Che's main purpose in accepting the task was to come into contact with the tools for plundering the Plane. After understanding the tool information, he would simply abandon the task.
Later, when there was a better opportunity, he would quietly plunder the Plane.
Li Xing smiled slightly and said, "The Emperor Plane will not issue such tasks now. Sending people to plunder the Plane is just a trap set by the Emperor Plane, and its main purpose is to expose the means of plundering the Plane.
With the Yan Hai Plane's capabilities, it will soon be able to replicate this method and use it against the Emperor Plane, which is exactly what the Emperor Plane hopes to see."
+++
Chapter 377: The Mission of Stopping the Level 7 Enemy from Plundering the Planes
Hearing Brother Li's words, Fang Che asked with some confusion, "Exposing the ability to plunder a Plane is a trap?"
Li Xing replied, "The Head of Group inadvertently learned that the Emperor Plane's territory has permeability. After being integrated by Other Planes, even if those Other Planes clean up the permeability issue, as long as the Emperor Plane Will makes contact again, the permeability of that territory can be restored.
The Emperor Plane's trap is to voluntarily abandon a portion of territory, and by leveraging the territory's permeability, destroy the Yan Hai Plane's defensive integrity.
Once the Yan Hai Plane's overall defense is compromised, more powerful Professionals can be teleported to the heart of the Yan Hai Plane, allowing for wanton Plane plundering.
However, to plunder a Plane, one must be at least a Seven-rank Professional; otherwise, the tools for plundering territory cannot be used. It is for this reason that the plan has only now been officially activated."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che immediately asked, "What if the Yan Hai Plane, after plundering a Plane, hands it over to a Professional to condense a domain?"
Li Xing smiled slightly and said, "The Head of Group also asked this question. A Nine-rank Professional told the Head of Group that the Yan Hai Plane's situation is quite special.
The Yan Hai Plane needs to expand its Plane; the larger the Plane, the stronger the power the Yan Hai Plane Professional can exert.
There is a high probability that the Yan Hai Plane will devour the Emperor Plane's territory. As soon as the devouring is complete, the Emperor Plane's territory will weaken the Yan Hai Plane through its permeability!"
Fang Che summarized, "So, the more the Yan Hai Plane wants to become stronger, the weaker it will become."
Li Xing nodded, "That's right. Even if the Yan Hai Plane doesn't devour Plane territory, it will still hand it over to Professionals to cultivate their domains.
At that time, the territory's permeability will affect the Professional's mind, causing him to act abnormally.
If territory is plundered but not used, it's a wasted effort. The Emperor Plane has set up Spring Arrays everywhere, and losing some territory will not affect the Emperor Plane's overall defense.
Furthermore, when they are plundering a Plane, their defenses will certainly be weak, making it easier for us to occupy their territory."
Hearing this, Fang Che praised, "The Plane Will is very thorough in its considerations. Now it seems the only way for the Yan Hai Plane to preserve itself is to give up plundering territory!"
Li Xing smiled, "The Yan Hai Plane is currently at a disadvantage and urgently needs to increase its strength, so it's unlikely to give up plundering territory.
Even if it gives up plundering, it doesn't matter. From the beginning of the battle, the Emperor Plane has already gained the initiative and can counteract various methods of the Yan Hai Plane. Eliminating the Yan Hai Plane is only a matter of time."
Fang Che inferred for a moment based on the existing information, believing that plundering a Plane was the quickest way to win.
If the Yan Hai Plane gave up plundering territory, the Emperor Plane would certainly send people to plunder territory, weakening the Yan Hai Plane.
However, in the short term, the task of plundering territory is extremely dangerous, and the Professionals participating in the task are almost certain to die.
Li Xing had just said that the Plane Will would not issue a task to plunder territory.
Without issuing a task, there is a very good solution for plundering territory: manipulating the Criminal's actions!
Now that the Emperor Plane has occupied large swathes of the Yan Hai Plane's land, the Six-rank Criminals originally deployed on the front lines have passively become rear personnel.
If the strength of these Criminals could be increased to Seven-rank, they could be controlled to plunder territory, achieving waste utilization and maximizing benefits.
Although increasing the Criminal's strength would consume some resources, consuming resources is better than losing the Seven-rank Professionals of various groups.
Of course, these are matters that the Emperor Plane Will needs to consider; Fang Che does not need to consider them now.
Fang Che stopped thinking and said, "I hope the Yan Hai Plane falls for it soon. At that time, I can also plunder the Yan Hai Plane's territory and contribute to the Emperor Plane."
Li Xing said, "To infiltrate and affect the Yan Hai Plane's defense, the Emperor Plane must first abandon a portion of its territory.
Directly abandoning territory would inevitably arouse suspicion, so they can only act slowly. It will probably take several years to achieve this.
However, this stage is also when we can earn merits. To better deceive the Yan Hai Plane, we need to hunt down those Flame Sea Plane Professionals who come to plunder the Plane.
The Plane has already issued a task, ordering idle Seven-rank Professionals to go to the front line and wait for enemies plundering the Plane, to eliminate them at any time!"
Fang Che curiously asked, "If we just let the enemies in, it might arouse suspicion. Is this to pretend to retreat?"
Li Xing shook his head, "No, since the war began, the Emperor Plane has never failed. A sudden failure would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Therefore, the Emperor Plane Will has ordered to continue the offensive and occupy more areas.
This will increase the enemy's defensive pressure, and it will also increase our defensive pressure.
If the enemy abandons their defense and wholeheartedly sends Seven-rank Professionals to invade, the powerhouses on the front line will not be able to stop all Seven-rank Professionals."
Hearing this, Fang Che agreed, "That makes sense."
At this point, Li Xing continued, "To demonstrate the Plane Will's sense of urgency, the task of eliminating Seven-rank Intruders does not require providing a corpse; simply killing them is enough.
My people have already gone to the front line and will relay information about the task targets. You just need to hide here and eliminate them using the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book."
Hearing this, Fang Che said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for your trouble. However, tasks that don't require a corpse mean we have to compete with others for them.
Many people will certainly compete for the tasks, and we may not be able to win against others. Even if we get one, we may not be able to kill him.
Furthermore, after eliminating the enemy, his resources will be left on the front line. Therefore, to maximize benefits, I plan to go to the front line myself."
Fang Che said this primarily to find an item for plundering territory.
Although the Emperor Plane had not issued a task to plunder a Plane, nor had it provided the tools.
However, if the Yan Hai Plane was preparing to plunder a Plane, it would certainly equip the Flame Sea Plane Professionals with plundering tools.
It would be the same for Fang Che to directly obtain plundering tools from a Flame Sea Plane Professional.
There was also another reason, which was to avoid exposing Fang Che's Nailhead Seven Arrows Book.
The Nailhead Seven Arrows Book would leave traces on the enemy's body after eliminating him. Fang Che could only avoid exposure if he got hold of the enemy's corpse.
Li Xing, hearing Fang Che's reply, advised, "While the rewards for eliminating enemies with the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book from the rear are indeed not great, it is safe.
If you go to the front line and encounter a Seven-rank Professional from the Yan Hai Plane, your safety cannot be guaranteed.
After all, we don't know what kind of terrifying skills the enemy might Create. Moreover, Fang Che is a Curse Master, not good at close combat, and has poor survival ability."
Fang Che had already made up his mind and said, "Don't worry, Brother Li, I will be careful to protect myself. If I encounter danger, the tools the Head of Group gave me will also save my life."
+++
Chapter 378 Battlefield Changes
Li Xing did not approve of Fang Che's idea of personally searching for Flame Sea Plane Professionals.
Although Fang Che had previously eliminated Flame Sea Plane Intruders, he was only dealing with Six-Order Professionals at that time, so there wasn't much danger.
However, the enemies he would encounter next were Seven-rank Professionals, which was full of unknown risks.
Li Xing did not want Fang Che to take risks, nor did he want the Iron Hand Group to lose a powerful individual.
However, seeing Fang Che's firm attitude, Li Xing found it difficult to persuade him further and could only say,
"Once the life-saving item the leader gave you shatters, return immediately. Do not linger on the front line."
Fang Che replied, "Brother Li, don't worry, I will be careful. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Li Xing shook his head and said, "There's nothing else. Be careful, and return in time if you feel danger."
"Alright." Fang Che nodded, then left the Iron Hand Group and used the teleportation array in the All-Profession Task Hall to teleport to an area where the Plane rules were relatively weak.
The last time he came to this area, Fang Che could use a special method to return to his Plane.
However, since Fang Che hadn't been here for a long time, to avoid changes in the rules, Fang Che still walked out of the Mission Hall and carefully observed the surrounding rule conditions.
After understanding the rule information, Fang Che closed his eyes, condensed the rule information in his Niwan Palace, and observed it with his Illusory Eyes.
A moment later, Fang Che opened his eyes, his expression grave.
After not coming for a long time, the rule power in this area had become stronger, and more materials would be needed to set up an array to return to Fang Che Plane.
Fang Che guessed that the rules in other places should also have improved to varying degrees.
This time, the areas Fang Che could venture into would definitely be reduced, unlike before.
Fang Che did not pay too much attention to this problem.
The Seven-rank Professionals who infiltrated Emperor Plane to plunder territory could not gather in one place; they must be acting separately.
Fang Che only needed to wait for a period of time in the areas he could move in, and he would be able to encounter Seven-rank Professionals.
Afterward, Fang Che returned to the Mission Hall to look for missions.
In the Mission Hall, missions to eliminate Six-Order Intruders from Flame Sea Plane were still displayed.
Now that Fang Che was not lacking in resources, he did not pay attention to these missions but instead looked for missions involving Seven-rank Professionals.
However, such missions did not appear, and it was unclear whether Flame Sea Plane was unwilling to send people to plunder the Plane, or if the Seven-rank Professionals of Flame Sea Plane were too weak to enter this place.
Fang Che had no choice but to change his objective and go to other places.
After searching several places, Fang Che still hadn't found any related missions. Occasionally, he would eavesdrop on the conversations of surrounding Professionals, but he never heard of Seven-rank Professionals stealing territory.
Fang Che decided not to waste time and directly teleported to a place without rule constraints, returned to his Plane, and continued to restore the Plane.
At this time, on the front line between Emperor Plane and Flame Sea Plane, a tragic battle ended.
The Flame Sea Plane Professionals left behind a pile of corpses and quickly retreated to the next defensive line.
The Professionals of Emperor Plane did not pursue. After occupying the defensive line that originally belonged to Flame Sea Plane, they began to clear the corpses and collect resources.
There were quite a few resources left here, but most of them were healing potions and various damaged items.
As for the materials used for advancement, not many were left behind.
It wasn't that the retreating Flame Sea Plane Professionals had taken them away in advance, but rather that both sides, to avoid strengthening the enemy, had entrusted valuable resources to trusted Professionals before the battle began.
Everyone only kept some resources suitable for combat on them.
And after the fierce battle, most of the various resources had been consumed, and only a small amount remained now.
While clearing corpses and collecting resources, a group of Array Masters quickly set up arrays to transform the territory and expand the Emperor Plane Will.
On the other side, the defeated Flame Sea Plane Professionals hid in the new defensive line, silently recovering from the previous battle's consumption, preparing for the next battle.
In the defensive line's command post, the Ninth-Order Red-skinned Professionals of Flame Sea Plane closed their eyes tightly, and dense Plane energy enveloped everyone's bodies.
A moment later, the Plane energy disappeared, and the Ninth-Order Professionals all opened their eyes, looking worried.
A Ninth-Order Fire Manipulator spoke, "The people of Emperor Plane came to plunder the Plane's territory, and they were actually eliminated by the Plane Will, and the Plane Will even obtained the item for plundering territory. This looks like a trap no matter how you look at it."
A Ninth-Order Swordsman next to him said helplessly, "It's a trap, but we have to jump into it. The invaded area is too large; as soon as we come into contact with the enemy, we will be drawn into their domain, which won't help much in battle.
Mid-level Professionals have experienced multiple failures, their morale is low, and they already have the intention to retreat, making it difficult for them to exert their full strength in battle.
Low-level Professionals could quickly repair array loopholes in the early stages, but whenever a significant loophole appeared in the array, they would rather die than approach it, and the defensive line was often breached by the enemy.
Although we achieve nearly equal casualty rates with the enemy in every battle, we are certainly abandoning large areas of territory, which cannot boost morale.
If this continues, the casualty rate will only keep increasing. We must make a change and plunder territory.
We need to take those territories to boost the morale of our subordinates.
Even if these territories cannot be devoured by the Plane, it's good for our subordinates to just see them."
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.
A moment later, the Fire Manipulator spoke, "Then let's plunder the Plane first. If it can be used, integrate it into the Plane to enhance power. If not, reward it to the Professionals."
Everyone said in unison, "As you command."
The main reason everyone was so obedient to the Fire Manipulator's words was that the Fire Manipulator belonged to the core Profession of Flame Sea Plane!
The Fire Manipulator was not considered a powerful Profession in Emperor Plane, but in Flame Sea Plane, after multiple enhancements by the Plane, the power released by the Fire Manipulator was almost on par with the Soul Master of Emperor Plane.
In terms of destructive power alone, the Fire Manipulator even surpassed the Soul Master.
Seeing that everyone agreed with his opinion, the Fire Manipulator said, "Then let's prepare for a counterattack and create opportunities for the Seven-rank Professionals. I'll go select suitable targets first."
After saying this, the aura on the Fire Manipulator suddenly changed. The original Fire Manipulator Profession instantly transformed into a Swordsman.
This changed aura was indistinguishable from that of the other Ninth-Order Swordsman.
Subsequently, the Swordsman transformed by the Fire Manipulator left the area.
The remaining individuals stayed in place, discussing the attack plan and the plan to motivate the Professionals.
Not long after, the Flame Sea Plane Professionals charged out of the defensive line, rushing towards the area newly occupied by Emperor Plane. Everyone's expression was extremely frenzied, looking somewhat abnormal.
Inside the defensive line newly occupied by Emperor Plane, the Ninth-Order Soul Master saw this scene and said,
"The enemy is actively counterattacking, perhaps as the Plane Will said, the enemy is preparing to arrange for Seven-rank Professionals to cross the defensive line and plunder the Plane amidst the chaos.
You all quickly organize your defense and do your best to block them. Don't let them succeed too easily. Let them experience the joy of difficult success, only then will they overlook details and complete our scheme!"
+++
Chapter 379: The Flame Sea Plane's Counterattack Failed
The Ninth-Order Professionals, hearing the Soul Master's command, said in unison, "We will do our best to prevent the Seven-rank Professionals from crossing the defense line!"
Afterward, everyone left the room.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The urgent sound of war drums echoed, and the Professionals who were clearing the battlefield quickly put down what they were doing and, following the drum's prompt, moved to their designated defensive positions.
The Soul Master, seeing the Professionals' high morale, nodded in satisfaction, then quietly hid.
Since the battle had not yet entered its final stage, to avoid revealing more secrets and being targeted by hostile Planes, the Plane's core Professionals found it inconvenient to directly participate in the battle and could only assist in secret.
The battle quickly erupted, and the Emperor Plane Professionals, who were originally the attackers, became the defenders.
However, the Professionals on the battlefield were all battle-hardened, so both sides easily adapted to the new combat plan and displayed impressive combat power.
After numerous consecutive failures, the Yan Hai Plane Professionals were initially lacking in morale.
However, at this moment, the Yan Hai Plane Professionals were all enveloped by a special skill, appearing frenzied and fearless of death.
While both sides were fiercely engaged in battle, the Flame Manipulator, the core Professional of the Yan Hai Plane, had already led a group of Seven-rank Professionals to the edge of the battlefield.
Since most Professionals were fighting in the central area, the battlefield's edge was relatively quiet.
The Flame Manipulator looked at everyone and said, "You will act separately later. If you encounter a patrol team, hide. If you encounter an Intruder from the Emperor Plane, ignore them as well.
Wait until you reach the Emperor Plane's defense line area, then look for an opportunity to use an item to cross the defense line.
Remember, if you are discovered, fight with all your might to attract the enemy's attention and buy time for others."
Everyone looked resolute and said in unison, "We wish to repay the Plane's nurturing grace with our lives!"
The Flame Manipulator said, "If you can live, you should still come back alive. The Plane nurtured you not to send you to your death. Go!"
Everyone bowed, then used their respective methods to conceal their bodies and walked towards the Emperor Plane.
These individuals moved cautiously and discreetly, frequently changing their direction of movement.
Even so, some were still discovered and engaged in fierce combat with Emperor Plane patrol teams.
There were also some unlucky individuals who were simply walking when a domain power spread over them, and before they could resist, they were captured and forced to participate in the battle.
After a long time, a Yan Hai Plane Seven-rank Professional finally approached the defense line and saw the Emperor Plane guards on the city wall.
Since most Professionals had gone to the central battlefield, there were not many guards on the city wall.
These few guards were all using formations to cooperate and search for potential enemies.
However, this city wall defense line was built by the Yan Hai Plane.
After the Emperor Plane occupied it, they encountered the Yan Hai Plane's counterattack before they could finish modifying it.
Therefore, many parts of the city wall still retained the Yan Hai Plane's methods.
The Yan Hai Plane Seven-rank Professional who approached this place moved silently beneath the city wall without triggering the defenses.
Not long after, the Yan Hai Plane Seven-rank Professional found a loophole and took out a thin needle to insert into a crack in the city wall.
Immediately after, the Yan Hai Plane Seven-rank Professional walked towards the city wall.
At this moment, the city wall seemed to become illusory, and the Seven-rank Professional easily passed through it.
The Seven-rank Professional looked around and walked forward even more cautiously.
However, this Seven-rank Professional had walked less than five meters when his head fell from his body.
An Eight-rank Assassin appeared beside him, reached out to catch the falling head, and threw it directly to the guards on the city wall, saying, "Hang it up!"
The guard took the head, placed it on the parapet, then took out an arrow, pierced the head, and fixed it to the city wall.
The Yan Hai Plane Professionals who had not yet passed through the city wall did not pay much attention to this scene.
Before coming, everyone had already disregarded life and death. They were calm and continued to look for weaknesses in the city wall.
Not long after, a Seven-rank Professional was discovered by the guards, and the formation on the city wall emitted light, revealing him.
Seeing himself exposed, the Seven-rank Professional unhesitatingly released skills to attack the guards.
The guards mobilized the formation's power to defend, and at the same time, relayed information. A large number of guards quickly gathered and engaged in a fierce battle.
The other Yan Hai Plane Professionals who had not been exposed quickly seized the opportunity to cross the defense line.
However, not long after they crossed the defense line, they were silently killed.
At this moment, the Ninth-Order Flame Manipulator was gathered with other Ninth-Order Professionals in a room, staring at a pile of tokens.
Most of the tokens were already broken, with only one remaining intact.
However, not long after, the last intact token also shattered instantly.
The Ninth-Order Flame Manipulator sighed, "The last Seven-rank Professional sent out has also died. The enemy still has the strength to guard the defense line. You all can help me."
The surrounding Ninth-Order Professionals remained silent.
At this moment, a Ninth-Order Professional said, "We also want to participate in the battle, but our territory is too far from the battlefield, and we have some conflicts with those people on the battlefield.
We are worried that if we go now, it will cause infighting. If they think we are going to watch a joke and do something impulsive, that would not be good.
It is better for us to arrange for some Seven-rank Professionals to invade the Emperor Plane. This can also be considered a contribution to the Yan Hai Plane."
The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
The Yan Hai Plane has many forces. Helping others is fine, but if the losses are too great, their territory cannot be held.
Currently, the Emperor Plane is powerful, and various forces do not want to get too involved.
Seeing this, the Ninth-Order Flame Manipulator could guess their thoughts and said:
"After some time, the Plane Will will transmit information to all regions, ordering a joint expedition to resist the Intruders. Everyone will advance and retreat together, and the interests of no force will be sacrificed."
Some people were moved by this, but seeing that those around them had not expressed their stance, they did not immediately agree.
Those Professionals who were unmoved changed the subject and said, "I think we should discuss the matter of plundering territory."
Seeing this, the Flame Manipulator decided to directly communicate with the Plane Will after some time, so that the Plane Will could directly issue orders, forcing everyone to comply.
Of course, this matter was not urgent; it would not be too late to implement it after various places suffered losses.
Afterward, the Flame Manipulator discussed the issue of sending troops to plunder territory with everyone.
At this time, on the front line battlefield, after a long period of fierce fighting, the skill used to motivate the Professionals became ineffective.
Those fearless Yan Hai Plane Professionals gradually emerged from their frenzied state.
When they saw the surrounding corpses and the Emperor Plane Professionals attacking from above, they remembered the previous numerous defeats, and their morale continued to drop.
Not long after, a group of low-rank Yan Hai Plane Professionals turned and fled.
With the first group fleeing, more and more Professionals fled, quickly forming a complete rout.
This battle once again ended with the Emperor Plane's victory.
+++
Chapter 380: The 7th-level professional from the Yanhai plane successfully sneaked into the Emperor plane
After the Flame Sea Plane's counterattack failed, the Emperor Plane Professionals quickly cleaned up the battlefield, continued to set up formations, and completed what had been interrupted.
After resolving all issues, the Emperor Plane Professionals rested briefly and then attacked again.
At the same time, the Flame Sea Plane Professionals, encouraged by various skills, also left their defensive line, preparing for the second battle.
Then, Professionals from both Planes met in the wide-open area without a defensive line and engaged in a fierce battle.
At the edge of the battlefield, countless Seven-rank Professionals were still moving stealthily.
The battle lasted for some time and ended in a draw, leaving a trail of bodies.
Neither side could gain an advantage; the Emperor Plane failed to occupy more areas, and the Flame Sea Plane likewise failed to reclaim lost territory.
Professionals from both sides rested for a moment, and a new round of battle soon erupted.
The rest and preparation time between battles was halved compared to before.
In the following period, battles became more frequent, and rest periods became shorter.
Professionals from both Planes could easily heal physical injuries and alleviate physical fatigue with various elixirs, but mental exhaustion was difficult to resolve.
Ninth-Order Professionals could only use various skills to motivate lower-rank Professionals, forcing them to participate in battle.
The Professionals on the front lines grew increasingly weary, while the Seven-rank Professionals hidden on the battlefield's edge remained full of spirit.
The Seven-rank Professionals on the Flame Sea Plane's side were loyal and brave individuals selected from other areas; they were full of spirit and invaded the Emperor Plane in their optimal state.
Because the Emperor Plane Professionals within the defensive line had not rested for a long time, more and more Flame Sea Plane Professionals crossed the defensive line.
However, on the Emperor Plane's side, Soul Masters were already on high alert; as soon as a Flame Sea Plane Seven-rank Professional crossed over, he would be discovered by a Soul Master, then turned into a soul, and controlled by the Soul Master.
On the Emperor Plane's side, a group of controlled Seven-rank the Criminals also quietly approached the Flame Sea Plane.
However, the number of the Criminals was large, and they were far from the Emperor Plane, making control more difficult.
Therefore, only a very small portion of the Criminals could cross the Flame Sea Plane's defensive line alive.
And behind the Flame Sea Plane's defensive line, Fire Manipulators were also waiting.
Although Fire Manipulators had been infinitely strengthened by the Flame Sea Plane, in terms of finding people, they were no match for Soul Masters who controlled thousands of souls.
As for professions skilled at finding people, their strength was inferior to the Plane's core professions.
Therefore, some of the Criminals always entered suitable positions to seize the Plane.
However, as soon as the Criminals began to seize the Plane, they would quickly be discovered.
Therefore, after the battle continued for a long time, neither Plane was able to seize the other's territory.
The battle continued in a stalemate.
After half a year, a cloaked Seven-rank Professional from the Flame Sea Plane passed through the city wall, moving cautiously.
At this moment, underground, a Nine-Order Soul Master opened his eyes, his gaze penetrating the ground, looked at the cloaked Seven-rank Professional, and said:
"It's been a long time; we need to let them find some opportunities. We can appropriately let some people pass now."
A pile of Eight-rank souls around him heard these words, bowed slightly, and quickly passed through the mud layer to notify the Professionals specialized in hunting.
With the transmission of various information, the first Flame Sea Plane Seven-rank Professional successfully entered the Emperor Plane.
Afterward, more and more Flame Sea Plane Seven-rank Professionals successfully passed through the defensive line.
In the Fang Che Plane, Fang Che was replacing the depleted materials in the recovery formation.
After some time, the Plane that had been devoured by the recovery formation turned into dregs, which Fang Che sealed and threw into the sea.
Then, Fang Che returned to the Emperor Plane.
Fang Che instantly teleported to an unfamiliar area.
This area was specifically chosen by Fang Che; it was very far from the front line, even further than the Iron Hand Group's position from the front line.
Being far from the front line meant less chance of war, and the Plane would not specifically set up rules to prevent Fang Che from teleporting.
Additionally, the rules of this place were particularly friendly to Curse Masters, and Fang Che's Curse Tools could all be used.
In this place, Fang Che could live very relaxed.
However, for Fang Che, this place was merely a transit point.
Arriving at the Mission Hall in this location, Fang Che directly rented a teleportation array to go to a certain area on the front line.
As soon as he arrived in this area, Fang Che heard many people discussing the news of Flame Sea Plane Professionals plundering the Emperor Plane's territory.
Fang Che was immediately overjoyed.
In the past, Fang Che had returned to the Emperor Plane many times, searching for traces of Seven-rank Professionals, but there had been no news.
Now, after so long, there was finally some movement.
Fang Che continued to listen to the conversations of the people around him and then learned a lot of information about Seven-rank Professionals.
Fang Che listened carefully for a moment, and a mission token shimmering with golden light suddenly emerged from the wall of the Mission Hall.
Fang Che had just glanced at it when the mission token was taken by someone and directly handed to the person responsible for registering missions.
The person registering the mission had just touched the mission token, and before he had time to register it, the mission token disappeared.
Everyone in the Mission Hall sighed in disappointment.
The person who had tried to claim the mission complained, "People in other places are too fast; I can't snatch it at all."
Someone next to him comforted him, "It's okay, many people are eyeing this mission, and the mission time limit is only fifteen minutes. It will reappear after fifteen minutes, so you need to relax and try hard to snatch the mission."
The person claiming the mission sighed, "I don't know what the Plane Will is thinking, why it insists on using this mission to select groups lucky enough to both claim the mission and eliminate the enemy;
I think it should directly mobilize everyone to capture them, and then claim the mission with the bodies, how great would that be!"
The person comforting him said, "Anyway, both the person who claims the mission and the person who kills the target will receive rewards, so we don't need to think too much, just try hard to claim the mission."
Fang Che, standing by, clearly understood the Plane Will's plan.
Only by allowing the Flame Sea Plane to plunder territory could it affect the Flame Sea Plane's overall defense.
The so-called search for lucky people was just a way to delay time, allowing the infiltrators to live a few more days and seize more of the Plane.
However, Fang Che did not tell the people around him the truth but hurried to the teleportation array.
Although the mission appeared for a short time, Fang Che had already memorized the target's information and now needed to quickly find and eliminate him.
Not long after, Fang Che teleported to an area far from the front line where the Revenge Evil Mirror could be used, and quickly wrote down the target's information.
The information about Seven-rank Professionals was much more detailed than that of Six-Order Professionals.
This situation occurred because Seven-rank Professionals were too powerful.
If the aura emitted by a Six-Order Professional was like an ant, then the aura emitted by a Seven-rank Professional was like an elephant.
No matter how a Seven-rank Professional concealed himself, he would easily be discovered by the Plane Will.
