The expert nodded approvingly: "You have a very comprehensive view. Coincidence is quite likely, but we can't rule out the possibility that there are other forces behind the Black Flag Mercenary Group. If they have a backer, then this should be good news. Their backer and the one who demanded that Black Hand Lu Gang perform a blood sacrifice are clearly enemies, but we can't get too excited, after all, it's just a possibility."
Chen Jing said, "Therefore, the Black Hand gang's subsequent bizarre actions can perhaps be attributed to a struggle between two forces..."
"Based on the information you gave us, we've discussed and analyzed it among ourselves," the expert said. "There are now two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that your precognitive dream is very accurate. If your precognitive dream is true, we believe that the force behind Black Hand Lu Gang is trying to restart the 'blood sacrifice of the past' in the arena. It is a terrible ritual presided over by a god and is more than half completed. The person behind Black Hand Lu Gang needs the Black Hand gang to complete that ritual at the Ash City node, while he himself is presiding over the ritual in Meijing City."
"This conjecture answers almost all the questions about why the Slave Soul left Ash City at that exact moment. It's because the Slave Soul was guarding the arena, the remnant defensive force left behind by the Sword Pavilion seniors. He sensed the anomaly and took the initiative to attack, disrupting the mastermind's plans. This also explains why the Black Hand gang went to deal with the Slave Soul, because it did indeed cause trouble."
"But this explanation has some major contradictions. For example, if the mastermind behind the ceremony is in Meijing City, wouldn't it be better for him to deal with the wandering slave souls? Of course, other possibilities can be proposed to explain the answer, such as that he was unable to leave, or that he was very cautious. All the speculations lack evidence."
"The second possibility is that the other party is going to hold a blood sacrifice in Ash City. We're overthinking things and making too many assumptions. Your prophecy may not be entirely accurate."
Instead of asking Chen Jing for his opinion, the expert asked, "If you were our decision-maker, how would you make the decision? Note that you can't completely trust a teenager's dream, and you can't use it as the basis for strategic decisions."
Chen Jing thought for a moment and then rearranged the word order.
"I will take action against the Black Hand gang and wipe them out of Ash City!"
"Whichever possibility it may be, as long as we can deal with the Black Hand gang, we can delay or disrupt the mastermind's goal. And if we target the Black Hand gang, we can also get help from the Black Flag Mercenary Group. Although the Black Hand gang seems powerful, it is very scattered. If we can launch a surprise attack, we can first fight outnumbered and outspeed them, eliminating one group before eliminating the other."
"In this respect, we have a natural advantage because we rely on the Dream Realm for organization and coordination."
Chen Jingyue said that he felt his thoughts flowing freely:
"Moreover, not all of the core members of the Black Hand gang are Lu Gang's people. There must be people in it who are dissatisfied with the blood sacrifice and the concealment, and there should even be our members in it."
"I don't know if any of our guardians are Qi Realm cultivators, but even Qi Realm cultivators can be killed by lower-level cultivators."
“Even if Lu Gang, the mastermind, has powerful figures behind her, a powerful mastermind that is impossible to resist, we can still cut off her fangs first, force her to step into the limelight, and then fight us. That would give us a better chance of winning.”
The expert looked at Chen Jing, his previous expression of approval now completely replaced by undisguised satisfaction.
"You think the same way we do."
