Chapter 557. A Starfield Lord Has Fallen, the Plan Moving Forward

Lu Yuan and the others immediately noticed Mo Gang's expression.

Everyone was puzzled. What could have made him react like this? There was clearly no danger around them.

"Did you receive some news?" Jiang Taiyu was the first to speak, his expression serious.

He guessed that Mo Gang must have received some news, and that it was very bad.

Among the top ten starfields of the universe, each race had its own unique way of keeping in contact. Since Mo Gang belonged to the Mohe Clan, he naturally had one as well.

The only thing that could make someone react like this was bad news.

Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Taiyu's words, Mo Gang came back to himself. His voice was hoarse. "Yes. I just received news that the Starfield Lord of our Mohe Clan fell some time ago!"

The moment these words emerged, everyone present, including Jiang Taiyu, froze.

Their faces showed the same disbelief Mo Gang had revealed earlier.

Because Mo Gang had said that the Mohe Clan's Starfield Lord had fallen.

What kind of figure was that? A Supreme Immortal.

He was at the same level as Jiang Taiyu. He was one of the strongest figures in the present universe. Throughout the cosmos, only a few people could match him.

Someone like that could be called a supreme powerhouse. Forget killing him, there were probably not many people who could even injure him.

But now...

"What exactly happened?" Jiang Taiyu asked, immediately feeling a chill crawl through him. This news was too sudden. Moreover, although the Starfield Lord of the Mohe Clan was not of the same generation as him, the two of them stood at the same realm.

Yet he had fallen just like that, and Jiang Taiyu had not sensed anything beforehand.

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

"I don't know either."

Mo Gang was completely at a loss and looked extremely panicked.

That was the Starfield Lord of their Mohe Clan. For him to suddenly fall like this, even setting aside everything else, was an enormously heavy blow to the entire Mohe Clan.

"It seems I need to personally make a trip to the Mohe Clan," Jiang Taiyu said.

He knew this matter had to be investigated clearly. Under the current circumstances, there was no other way except for him to act.

But these words immediately startled Jiang Ningxian and Jiang Haokong. Even the Mohe Clan's Starfield Lord had fallen. If their father went, would he also encounter danger?

They wanted to persuade him, but they knew that at a time like this, the overall situation mattered even more.

In this universe, there were only just over ten Supreme Immortals. Losing any one of them was extremely dangerous, especially now that the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons had appeared.

And indeed, this was something only a Starfield Lord could personally handle.

"Senior, I believe that even if you go to the Mohe Clan now, the situation will not change." Just then, Lu Yuan, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke. His gaze was solemn. "The fall of the Mohe Clan's Starfield Lord seems sudden, but clearly, it was planned long ago.

"That was a Supreme Immortal. The fact that they could do this already explains many things, so it will be the same even if you go."

These words made Jiang Taiyu fall into thought, because he felt that they did indeed make sense.

However, such a major incident had occurred. If they did nothing, were they supposed to simply let the situation continue?

Lu Yuan naturally knew what he was thinking and said directly, "Actually, other than the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, there is probably no one else capable of doing this. Or perhaps the Starfield Lords of the Ji Clan and the Eternals also acted.

"Ever since those two accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, they have essentially never appeared again. Since we can already identify the likely culprits, whether we investigate everything clearly is no longer important."

Lu Yuan's mind was calm and clear.

He knew that from the day the Ji Clan and the Eternals vanished, the two forces had definitely been planning something. The only reason they had not acted before was that they had been lying low.

Now, it seemed they could no longer wait and were ready to act. Since matters had reached this point, there would probably be even more movement from them to come.

Lu Yuan even suspected that the Mohe Starfield Lord's death had been deliberately caused by their enemies.

They wanted to draw the Supreme Immortals of the other starfields over to investigate, then set up a killing ambush.

Lu Yuan and party had to guard themselves against such a possibility.

Although Lu Yuan felt the two forces might not necessarily succeed, what if they did?

There were just slightly over ten Supreme Immortals in this universe. Losing even one might affect the overall situation.

"So what you mean is that I should wait for them to move first, then think of a way to respond?" Jiang Taiyu said, his brows furrowing.

As one of the strongest people in the present universe, he truly disliked this. It was too passive an approach. All along, whenever he faced an enemy, he had always acted forcefully. That was how he had reached his current level.

In his mind, only by taking the initiative would the enemy be left helpless.

Of course, Lu Yuan understood what he was thinking. He let out a sigh, then continued, "Senior, I understand your thoughts, but the problem is that we're facing a very strong enemy. It is another universe.

"Leaving aside figures comparable to Supreme Immortals, there are also many who surpass this realm. If we act rashly, I fear we will not be able to accomplish much."

He had grown up on Earth. And Earth, compared to the vast cosmos, was truly too tiny.

Back then, almost any starfield race had believed it could easily conquer Earth.

Facing all of this, Lu Yuan had always been at a disadvantage. That was why he had a better understanding of what they should do now.

"Father, I think Lu Yuan is right. What we need to do now is see how they act. Our strength is indeed inferior to the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons." Jiang Ningxian was also very calm and voiced her opinion.

On one hand, she did not want her father to take risks. On the other hand, she really felt Lu Yuan was correct.

When Jiang Taiyu heard these words, his gaze shifted slightly. After careful consideration, he felt that Lu Yuan had a point.

It was also the wisest choice.

In the end, he sighed and said, "Fine. I agree with what you said."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded. Then he looked toward Mo Gang beside him, thought for a moment, and offered a few words of comfort. He also hoped Mo Gang could contact the Mohe Clan and see whether there were any valuable clues.

Although he knew this would not be very useful, since the Mohe Starfield Lord had already fallen, any discovery would still be a good thing.

But Lu Yuan was also worried about another thing. After this incident, this universe would probably no longer be peaceful.
