"From the terrain, the Heath Mountain Range is quite elevated, if the Abyss Pollution Source gushes out from the seal, it will inevitably spread towards us.
"So, sooner or later, the pollution source in this seal will need to be dealt with, this crisis will break out at some point, if not now, then in the future.
"In my challenge tasks, there is a task to clear the Abyss Pollution Source."
"Therefore, from my perspective, I support opening the seal and clearing the Abyss Pollution Source inside."
"Of course, whether to open the seal or not requires weighing the pros and cons to ensure Kolos City is not affected."
"Before considering this issue, I have a question to confirm first, that is, must this seal be opened by the Three Commanders Statue?"
"If not using the Three Commanders Statue, can it be violently broken?"
Upon hearing this question, the high-level Elf Clan members exchanged glances.
Orelana, after pondering for a moment, said: "Any magic seal can be broken by force, as long as the strength is strong enough, using a key to unlock a seal is just the most energy-saving method.
"I have seen the notes left by my father, the seal of Xiling City is very strong, it’s difficult to break it violently, but not completely impossible."
Lu Heng received the answer, thought briefly, and then said:
"Since it can be broken by force, now the second question needs to be considered.
"If the Bone Sovereign cannot obtain the Three Commanders Statue, will he choose to forcefully break it? Does he have the capability to forcefully break it?"
Serren took over the conversation and said: "With Demigod strength, given enough time, indeed has the capability to break this seal."
Lu Heng nodded and continued: "Since the Bone Sovereign might break the seal by force, we should consider the third question.
"Once the Bone Sovereign forcefully breaks the seal, releases the Abyss Pollution Source within, and enslaves Commander Santos’s remains, what will the situation become?"
Upon hearing this, the high-level members of the Elf Clan all became serious.
If the scenario described by Lu Heng really occurs, it means that the Abyss Pollution Source sealed in Xiling City will spread across the continent, worsening the already deteriorating environment further.
Moreover, we would face the skeleton of the previous generation Elf Sword Saint in the battlefield.
If things really develop to this point, it will be a situation difficult to handle.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Lu Heng voiced his thoughts:
"Therefore, I think rather than passively waiting for the Bone Sovereign to break the seal and release the Abyss Pollution Source, it’s better to take the initiative.
"We actively open the seal, find ways to deal with the Abyss Pollution Source, and assist Commander Santos to return to nature."
After listening to this analysis, Serren thought for a moment and asked: "Do you have a plan?"
Lu Heng indeed had thought of a method and continued:
"To actively open the seal, we must obtain the Three Commanders Statue, but we have only one statue in our possession.
"The other two statues are held by the raiding team of the Creator Organization.
"Retrieving those two statues is difficult, but we have a piece at play—Ke Yiming.
"Currently, the raiding team of the Creator Organization should still be unaware that Ke Yiming is exposed, we can use him to deliver the last statue we have.
"At the same time, we reveal information to them, deceive them into believing there is a huge treasure beneath the seal, such as Commander Santos’s treasures left behind.
"The raiding team of the Creator Organization has a characteristic, they seize profits without restraint.
"As long as we make them believe the Bone Sovereign will take all treasures upon breaking the seal, they will act alone, open the seal, and take the treasures."
"They might even take away Commander Santos’s remains to exchange benefits with the Bone Sovereign."
"The logic governing the raiding team’s actions is plundering without regard for consequences, as for releasing the Abyss Pollution Source leading to world crisis, they will care nothing about it.
"Therefore, as long as they know there are treasures beneath the seal, they will definitely proceed accordingly."
The Elf high-level members fell into silent contemplation.
Moments later, Terres raised his hand, saying: "No need for deception, Teacher’s sword, Dragon’s Tooth, has always been carried, surely it’s also within the seal, it is a Demigod-level weapon. Once this information is revealed, given the raiding team’s style, they will surely seize it."
Even Lu Heng felt tempted upon hearing that.
Of course, this is the sword of the Anti-Demon Alliance Commander, the previous generation Elf Sword Saint Santos, in principle, this sword should be passed to Terres."
Lu Heng looked towards the Elf Queen and Forest Elder, asking: "Does everyone find this plan feasible?"
The high-level members of the Elf Clan considered carefully, and they agreed.
"This plan, though risky, has a large chance of success. By actively opening the seal, we can prepare ourselves well for the response, neglecting it will sooner or later become a hidden danger."
Everyone continued discussing the plan’s details, optimizing each step to the best, then began execution.
The Kolos city elite began to deploy a tactical plan, Forest Elder Serren led the druids to formulate the purification plan for the Abyss Pollution Source.
Lu Heng then went to the dungeon in Kolos City, came to the door of Ke Yiming’s cell.
The cell had no door, but rather was blocked by a magic barrier.
Seeing Lu Heng appear, Ke Yiming stood up and asked: "You’ve received the intelligence, not reversing the decision, are you?"
