Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Chapter 638 Besieged on Four Sides

"I see."

Ning Qi simply responded.

There was no further nonsense.

He knew exactly what Zhao Tianlei was going to say next, but he had absolutely no interest in these family and power relationships.

He's just here to gain experience and then take some resources back with him.

How they fight amongst themselves is none of his business.

"It's time to start making arrangements."

Seeing Ning Qi's words, Zhao Tianlei didn't say anything more, but instead focused his attention on what was ahead.

At this moment, people inside the hall began to speak.

Ning Qi and Zhao Tianlei were standing at the back of the square, and they could hardly hear what was being said deep inside the hall.

Ning Qi once tried to use his divine sense to investigate.

However, upon arriving at the entrance of the main hall, they realized something was amiss.

This place is protected by formations and restrictions; if he takes even an inch further, he will be detected.

That's unnecessary, since they're discussing things related to the Boundary Sea Battlefield.

There is absolutely no need to take the risk.

"It's our turn now, who knows when that will be."

Ning Qi, on the contrary, felt somewhat bored.

"Just wait, this is only a portion of the people who have arrived."

"However, news of our arrival has already been sent out."

“They will make arrangements for us.”

Zhao Tianlei glanced ahead and then said, "A guard will come and give us the jade slip in a moment."

"Oh, so we don't even deserve a single word from them."

Upon hearing this, Ning Qi couldn't help but speak.

This is either due to a difference in status or because they are too weak; otherwise, they wouldn't dare treat them this way.

"Yes, their strength is lacking, and their status is also somewhat lacking."

Zhao Tianlei said awkwardly.

"It doesn't matter, we just need to get what we want."

"As long as the trip is worthwhile, that's enough. As long as we are careful and work hard enough, we'll achieve that day sooner or later."

Ning Qi smiled and said encouragingly.

"Yes, you're right, we definitely have to work hard."

Zhao Tianlei nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

"I don't know what these people are talking about."

After waiting for a while, Ning Qi looked up.

At that moment, people were still talking in the main hall.

However, they can't hear it at all here.

"It has nothing to do with us. All we need to do is defend our assigned area."

"If we can take advantage of this opportunity, we'll also acquire some resources from the area we're stationed in, making the trip worthwhile."

Zhao Tianlei said in a deep voice.

"By the way, if we're stationed in one place, how can we get resources?"

Will the people who lived here before leave anything for us?

Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

"The resources are plentiful, but our border sea battlefield is actually an unstable area."

"This place was shattered by the great war ten thousand years ago."

"That great war involved all races and left behind many relics."

"Because this place was destroyed, many ruins were left in the spatial rifts."

"Therefore, in each different region, different relics will emerge from the cracks at regular intervals."

Zhao Tianlei introduced him to the others in one go.

"I see. So, if the core area here is guarded by the people on the outside, wouldn't they be able to keep reaping the benefits?"

"There is absolutely no need to fight against the immortals and humans."

Ning Qi seemed to realize something and asked the question.

"That's right, but they'll encounter all sorts of troubles if they want to get the resources from these ruins."

"Some have restrictions, some have puppets guarding them, and some have traps."

Zhao Tianlei explained.

"Compared to that, they have it easier."

"If we are assigned to a frontier region, we will also have to face enemy attacks."

Ning Qi shrugged and said.

"That depends on the resources they encounter. If it's the kind of place that produces unparalleled treasures, people will still try to break in and steal them."

"Moreover, neither the immortals nor the humans will let us have our way so easily."

"They will send in experts to launch surprise attacks from time to time; it's very complicated."

Zhao Tianlei explained it to Ning Qi earnestly.

"No matter what, I hope we find a better place, at least one where we can relax a bit."

Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile.

"Yes, but my father had already sent them a priceless treasure after we set off."

"We hope you can make proper arrangements for us."

Zhao Tianlei turned his gaze back to what was ahead, his eyes filled with hope.

He also hoped that things wouldn't be too complicated, so that he could get through this experience more easily.

"Look, aren't these the people who issued jade slips to us?"

Ning Qi suddenly pointed ahead and asked.

At this moment, many guards came down from the stone steps in front of the main hall.

"Yes, it's already being sent out."

Zhao Tianlei also looked over.

These guards have already begun distributing jade slips to the people in the different teams below.

Those who received the jade slips had varying expressions.

There were happy moments and disappointing moments.

After half an incense stick's time, we finally arrived at their place.

Zhao Tianlei soon received the jade slip delivered by the guard.

"Following the compass, your men can go directly there."

"You will be stationed here for two months. Only if you are all wiped out during this period will someone take over."

The guard reminded the two of the reminder again before moving forward to continue sending jade slips to others.

"I'll look at it when I get back."

Zhao Tianlei put away the compass inside the jade slip, and then led Ning Qi back.

They quickly returned to the Zhao family's fleet.

"Brother, where is this place?"

Zhao Zhirou asked curiously.

The others also gathered around.

I want to see where they're going next.

"Let me take a look."

After Zhao Tianlei agreed, he immediately activated the jade slip.

After the compass inside appeared, a phantom image also appeared.

"call!"

After this phantom image passed, a scene of the battlefield of the Boundary Sea appeared before them.

It was just shrunk to only a few feet in size.

This map of the border sea clearly shows the different families they marked with flags.

There were countless people, and in this area of ​​the Boundary Sea Battlefield, there were still many places that were uninhabited.

"These places are the territories of the immortals and the human race."

Zhao Zhirou pointed to the places where they hadn't planted flags and said to Ning Qi.

"Oh, so it seems we haven't occupied much territory."

Ning Qi nodded, somewhat disappointed.

Originally, he thought the demons would have a vast territory.

To my surprise, it is only about one-fifth of the territory compared to the border sea.

So what's left are the immortals and the human race?

“Ours is big enough; it contains areas for both humans and immortals.”

"At the same time, there are also areas where the demon race and other races have formed alliances."

Zhao Zhirou said to Ning Qi, "Look at the edges of these areas; they are all places where different races meet."

"If we're assigned here, then we're doomed."

"It certainly won't be as easy here as it is in the inner areas."

"Let's see where we are!"

Ning Qi nodded and then said, "Okay!"

Zhao Tianlei didn't delay any longer. After agreeing, he immediately activated the jade slip again.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, a stream of light suddenly surged out.

It crashed into an area.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention; this was clearly the place they were heading to.

"here it is?"

Ning Qi frowned as he looked at the scene.

Anyone with eyes can see at a glance that this place is definitely not safe.

This terrain is shaped like a bow, and this is the protruding part they are to guard.

This area is essentially a region bordered on three sides.

"What's going on? Why were we assigned here?"

"Didn't we already give them the treasure? And there are still many resources."

Zhao Zhirou was the first to react, her eyes widening in disbelief: "Why is this happening!"

"Damn it, I'm going to go and reason with Commander Yinxu."

Zhao Tianlei couldn't hold back any longer.

This is clearly bullying. They took their things and then put them in this vulnerable place.

A completely isolated area, if you're lucky, will face an attack from two races.

If you're unlucky, you'll face attacks from three or more people.

"What's the use? They've already divided us up like this. Even if we go to them now, they won't pay any attention to us."

Zhao Zhirou shook her head: "If I offend him, I won't be able to come here for trials in the future."

"Then our resources will be cut off."

"We can't sacrifice ourselves this time."

Zhao Tianlei shrugged: "Dad doesn't know what's going on yet. I'll tell him right now."

"Yes, communicate with Father telepathically and have him tell him."

Zhao Zhirou immediately agreed.

"it is good!"

Zhao Tianlei nodded, then took out the jade pendant and began to activate it to communicate with Zhao Lingtian telepathically.

"Master, what do you think is going on?"

The spirit medicine, residing in Ning Qi's dantian, couldn't help but ask.

"We don't know. How could we possibly guess about the problems between their families?"

Ning Qi shook his head and said.

"Then we're in trouble too."

"I can't help it," Yao Ling said helplessly.

"We'll deal with whatever comes our way, we'll see how things go."

Ning Qi sighed.

In fact, he thinks this kind of place is actually a good place.

Imagine, only strategically important locations are where good things are produced.

If it's a relatively peaceful place where no one argues, what good things could there be?

The more valuable the gifts they bring, the more likely they are to be given a place like this.

However, Ning Qi never told them about it from beginning to end.

They're absolutely unfair, so let's go find someone to reason with.

"call!"

It was at this moment that Zhao Tianlei activated the sound transmission jade pendant.

After a gust of wind, a phantom figure appeared before them.

It was Zhao Lingtian, whom I hadn't seen for many days.

"What happened?"

Zhao Lingtian's illusory figure hovered in front of them, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Father, haven't you already given gifts to General Yinxu?"

"Why did he assign us to such a place where we are surrounded by enemies?"

Zhao Tianlei didn't waste any words and went straight to asking about the situation.

He felt that they must have been tricked, otherwise why would they be assigned to such a place?

"This was my arrangement."

"Don't go looking for him, don't embarrass me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lingtian said in a deep voice.

"Huh? Father, why did you arrange it this way?"

"These are all our people."

"If we are attacked from both sides, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for two months."

Zhao Tianlei questioned him repeatedly.

"Hmph, if that's all you've got, then stay there forever."

"You've already acquired a lot of resources and treasures. Isn't that enough to support your training here?"

“You already have a better chance of survival than others, instead of thinking about how to improve your strength.”

"When you encounter a place like this, you become overly concerned with every little thing."

Zhao Lingtian snorted coldly and continued, "Our Zhao family has been declining because we don't have many people with backbone."

"Father, I understand."

Zhao Tianlei felt ashamed after being told this, and quickly said, "We'll go right away, and we definitely won't bring shame to the Zhao family."

"Go, life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate, you must do your best."

"Father, you have all returned victorious."

Zhao Lingtian nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Yes! We will definitely succeed."

After Zhao Tianlei agreed, he put away the communication jade pendant.

"Big brother, are you really going?"

Zhao Zhirou remained standing to the side the whole time, without getting a chance to speak.

After they all stopped transmitting their voices, he came over and asked.

“That’s right. Since this is Father’s arrangement, then we have nothing more to say.”

Zhao Tianlei nodded, his expression turning serious.

"Then let's get ready to go."

At this point, Ning Qicai interjected.

"it is good."

Zhao Tianlei announced loudly, "Let's go. Use the compass to determine the direction."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wantian respectfully accepted the order.

Then, arrangements were made for the team to depart.

And so their fleet set off in a grand procession.

"Master, what dangers do you think we'll encounter on this trip?"

The spirit medicine was inside his dantian, curiously observing its surroundings.

The fleets around them continued to move back and forth.

Some had just arrived, while others had set off with them.

"You'll find out when you get there, but judging from their defenses, this is going to be a very challenging place for him."

"Without support, we had to tough it out on our own."

Ning Qi thought to himself, communicating with Yao Ling: "However, this is our situation, and the people facing us are in the same situation."

"They are not willing or dare to act rashly, as that would only attract the attention of the other side."

"That's right, there's a system of checks and balances here."

Yao Ling said in deep agreement.

"Young Master Ning, we must be careful this time."

Zhao Zhirou stood beside him and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, we will make it back safely."

Ning Qi, on the other hand, appeared completely unconcerned.

"I hope so."

Zhao Zhirou nodded.

"It will take several days to get there from here, but we have wormholes here."

"Using large wormholes for teleportation, we can be transported to our destination in an instant."

"However, judging from the compass, even if we teleport there, it will still take us a whole day to arrive!"

Zhao Tianlei, holding a compass, came over and analyzed the situation with the two of them.

"Oh, is it that far?"

Zhao Zhirou asked. (End of Chapter)
