A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 982 - 968: The Three Great Clans’ Plan

Outside the gigantic Seven Coiled Palace, the forces of the three major clans gathered, but they did not rush forward and stopped before the huge hall entrance of the palace’s periphery.

The sky was a deep and distant red. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

A Black Moon hung below this crimson sky, radiating a light that appeared extraordinarily eerie.

Alley was still full of gloom at this moment.

Having suffered a loss at Baiyu’s side, with two Grandmasters lost, although these Grandmasters were not very strong, it was a huge blow to the morale of the Laine Clan.

Thus, when the three major clans converged.

The Laine people completely avoided mentioning this matter, and neither the Lawrence nor the Cres Clan was aware of the situation in the Whispering Forest, nor of the affair concerning the named Tai Mei.

This kind of disgrace.

Naturally could not be publicized.

"Alley, didn’t you say earlier that you saw Machima? That fugitive has planned for a long time to enter the Seven Coiled ruins, now the chaos in Central City hasn’t been completely suppressed, she must know a lot about the Seven Coiled ruins."

Harlow Lawrence said gravely.

His conjecture was indeed correct, Machima could be said to be very familiar with the Seven Coiled ruins, of course, this is relative to others who are completely in the dark.

The years have passed for the Seven Coiled ruins.

Plus the original ancient books recorded information not in detail, even if Machima had read almost all books related to Seven Coils, she couldn’t completely know the real layout within the Seven Coiled Palace.

Only upon seeing the corresponding region could she react to which places described in the books were actually there.

When Alley heard Harlow Lawrence mention this matter, a fury surged within her heart, but she had to suppress it outwardly: "We previously encountered Machima, in a very harsh environment. She fled while we were unguarded, after engaging, we both had victories and defeats."

"Oh, you engaged with them? How many people are by Machima’s side, is it difficult to deal with?"

Upon hearing that Alley had crossed paths with Machima.

Amo Cres, this battle enthusiast from a military family instantly became interested.

Figuring out exactly how much strength Machima has around her is crucial.

This will directly determine how they should handle their next encounter with Machima.

Alley’s face was slightly awkward: "Just two people."

"Two people, and you all let them escape?" Harlow was surprised.

This wasn’t Alley’s usual style, under overwhelming strength suppression, she would never let the opponent escape; she would chase them down.

"Didn’t I say, the environmental conditions at the time did not allow it, if we tangled, it might have led to mutual destruction."

Alley, blushing, explained: "Moreover, Machima is far from being an ordinary Tier One Meteor, she very likely fell from the Eclipse Moon Realm, a typical Meteor wouldn’t be her match. I advise you all, once you encounter her later, don’t think about preserving strength, directly kill her!"

Upon hearing this.

The other two clearly understood that the opponent was not joking.

Since the plan to catch Machima as a pathfinder failed, the three of them began rethinking their strategy.

Now they were like treasure seekers guarding a colossal treasure vault but without keys, they could only anxiously watch.

Finally.

The three reached a consensus.

Each sent one person to explore in front of the door. This action carried significant risk, so the people chosen by the three clans were those with very strong survival abilities and means of escape.

Rapidly.

These three warriors were selected.

They exchanged glances with each other, then took a deep breath and proceeded to the enormous hall entrance of the Seven Coiled Palace.

There was no danger along the way.

The three approached the hall entrance safely, the entire door like a mountain, exuded a palpable sense of oppression that nearly suffocated people.

The door was dark cyan.

On the door, many exquisite murals were carved, despite the long years, they bore no marks of age.

The murals on the door.

Mainly featured dragons and snakes.

Moreover, they were peculiar-looking snakes, the most prominent characteristic was these snakes had many heads, somewhat resembling Seven Coils.

"What should we do?"

"Let’s first check if there’s any mechanism nearby, if not, try to push open the gate."

"Alright, let’s search first."

The three reached an agreement and began to search around the gate for hidden mechanisms, but after more than ten minutes, they found nothing.

The only option now was to attempt to push it open forcefully.

The three were Martial Arts Grandmasters, if this door was made of ordinary stone, pushing it open together would be of no difficulty.

The three approached the door.

Then.

They started exerting their strength.

However, as soon as they touched the door, a powerful Extraordinary Power suddenly surged from the door, instantaneously transferring to the three.

In a moment.

The three couldn’t even employ any survival means and directly turned into stone sculptures.

This scene was too sudden.

Initially watching and ready to rescue from the open space, the three clans realized the situation was wrong, but the three had already transformed into lifeless stone.

"Their Blood Qi and Spirituality vanished simultaneously."

Harlow Lawrence squinted, his face sullen: "At the moment of touching the door, they turned into stone sculptures instantly, without any time to react. We can’t continue contacting the door, we’ll need another way to enter."

Having lost three skilled individuals in one go.

The three clans dared not sacrifice more lives at this moment.

"Why not open the Seven Coiled ruins to the public?" At this point, Amo proposed a very bold suggestion.

By logic.

The ruins like Seven Coils, generally from discovery, are controlled by major clans, and the public cannot access them.

Martial Artists from the public want to enter the ruins, it’s utterly impossible.

In the Free Federation, virtually all resources are under the control of the upper echelon, wanting to ascend to a higher level means joining the Ten Great Clans.

This is why the Ten Great Clans have remained strong without weakening.

Almost the entire Free Federation is being drained by them.

As long as the Free Federation exists, they won’t decline.

But Amo’s suggestion.

Directly allows public Martial Artists the possibility of rapidly advancing, breaking the existing structure.

This is a very dangerous thing.

However.

Upon a slight contemplation, the two instantly understood Amo’s intention.

This is about using the entire Free Federation’s Martial Artists as their cannon fodder. Anyway, the Seven Coiled ruins are in their hands, if public Martial Artists indeed open the Seven Coiled Palace, it wouldn’t be too late to take over.

Key is.

They couldn’t open the Seven Coiled Palace, using their carefully cultivated Martial Artists for experimentation would be too costly.

But allowing public Martial Artists to spearhead can greatly reduce their casualties.
