Chapter 1491: Chapter 1491: Threat?

Pei Yan’s refutation and the changes in formalities enraged Urban, and he retorted sharply, "Pei Yan, don’t play dumb with us! If war really breaks out and causes such consequences, it won’t be as simple as the war between you and Council City as you claim! It will be a war between the Cornerstone Plane and the Magic Plane! Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you have the right?"

"What do you mean by that? It’s laughable!" Pei Yan, after hearing this, laughed ironically in anger, "You all did wrong, refuse to hand over the culprit for punishment! You’ve put up such a stance, forcing the victim seeking justice to accept your suggestion, and when we disagree, it’s our fault for resisting? Do you think the Magic Plane will back down for so-called dignity at this time, will the Investigation Bureau of the Cornerstone Plane retreat?"

"Ha ha ha! Well, Pei Yan, don’t blame me if I didn’t warn you! Once you make this choice, regardless of the outcome of this battle, the alliance between the Cornerstone Plane and the Magic Plane is broken. The disgrace of the attack on the Council City, where the three major council locations are, will not end with the cessation of fighting. Grand Mages, Violet, and Bishop-level members of Council City will retaliate against your Cornerstone Plane, in the cities where you live. Aren’t you trying your best to hide the existence of the Superpower World? Aren’t you claiming to be protectors of ordinary citizens? Then let us see whether you can bear the bloody price for such a trivial matter." Urban said with a twisted expression depicting the future retaliation Council City would undertake.

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan seemed to be struck by lightning, stunned on the spot. Urban noticed his surprised expression and curled his lips into a cruel smile, knowing he had found his opponent’s weakness.

Pei Yan clasped his hands together near his nose, his face full of disbelief, his voice trembling, "Mr. Urban, are you threatening me?"

When Pei Yan asked this question in such a posture, people watching this scene on the light screen, including those who had dealt with Pei Yan like those from Immortal Palace, Dragon Realm, Holy City, and Blood Slaughter Divine Desire, all leaned back instinctively, unable to bear watching anymore. Only Urban felt good at this moment, responding in a slightly smug tone with the demeanor of a victor, "If you think it is, then it’s just that!"

"Pfft! Ha ha! Ha ha ha! Hahaha!" Covering his nose, Pei Yan finally couldn’t help but laugh. As his laughter grew louder and more brazen, the humiliated Urban raged, "Is there something funny about what I said?"

"Hoo! Hoo!" Pei Yan, who laughed so much that he bent over, tried to straighten himself up. After taking several deep breaths to stabilize his hurried breathing due to laughter, he wiped the corner of his left eye with his hand and retreated backward, "If my left eye wasn’t mechanical, I would have been laughed to tears by your words just now."

Saying this, he retreated to Gu Shenghui’s side, placed his arm on Gu Shenghui’s shoulder, pointed at Urban with a smile, and said, "Leader, is he calling that threat just now serious? Do you find it funny?"

"It’s quite funny! I think you should teach him well!" Gu Shenghui lowered his head, took a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth, and coldly chuckled.

"Should I teach him?" Pei Yan feigned surprise, reached for a cigarette from the other’s pack, and asked.

"You should! Otherwise, some people will never get enlightened."

"Alright!" Pei Yan placed the cigarette in his mouth, lit it with a flame from his fingertips, took a puff, and looked at the furious Urban with a grin, "Mr. Urban, let me teach you what a threat is! After our war starts, of course, you can carry out those acts of revenge you mentioned, but how will we respond?"

With that, Pei Yan raised a finger to the sky, and then a light image played out, showing a video of a nuclear explosion recorded on the internet. Witnessing the mushroom cloud rising and the data showing the world-destroying impact, everyone present held their breath, shocked by the apocalyptic scene.

"I know what you want to say, you will say such a weapon would be ineffective in the Magic Plane, even if not, the explosion power would be greatly halved, but I tell you, that was before!" Pei Yan keenly noticed Urban wanted to speak after watching the video, he promptly spat out the cigarette, flicked off its ash, and continued, "Now, even if you kill all of us here, our Investigation Bureau can find a way to transport these weapons here, and detonate them at full power without interference from the Plane’s Heavenly Dao. Don’t doubt it; if you don’t believe it, you can go back and ask your Supreme. Now, whether we have such capabilities!"

As Pei Yan said this, Urban, Aleister, and the others exchanged glances. They need not ask their Supreme; they can imagine what the other side would do! The Master of Origin in the Cornerstone Plane is gradually resurrecting. It’s not difficult for her to open a small area in the Magic Plane free from Heavenly Dao suppression, then detonate the powerful monster seen in the image, producing such power.

Then, Pei Yan explained to the crowd in a near-playful tone, "Let me describe the scene you will witness! At that time, a beam of light will rise straight to the sky at the center of the explosion, and within the explosion’s range, everything—people, buildings, your proud civilization—will be completely destroyed. People will have their body moisture dried by high temperatures, turned into charcoal! Pop!"

As Pei Yan spoke, he slammed his hand, causing everyone’s body to instinctively shiver before he continued, "Turned into a shadow imprinted on the ground, buildings will become ruins, wooden structures burnt to cinders, and only a small number of stone buildings remain. Meanwhile, the ground would be baked like glass, clean and smooth, and even if you are not at the center of the explosion, you can go blind from the strong light just by watching from afar. Believe me, this is already the best outcome! Of course, with the abilities of your Bright Church, letting a blind person see again would be no challenge, but don’t hurry, they will still have a chance to witness a second explosion, hoping they are as lucky this time too."

After saying this, Pei Yan took a breath, sighed, and lamented, "Let’s take a step back and assume the explosion’s power is greatly reduced due to Heavenly Dao suppression, let me not say whether you can withstand even the reduced power; do you think the explosion ends after disappearing? No! It’s just beginning! The area covered by this explosion will produce... um, let me think of how this term is said in your language?"
