Chapter 640 The Immortal Clan's Movements
"Okay, then come with me."
Zhao Tianlei was overjoyed to see that he was going to deal with the immortals.
He chose this place to hone his skills against the strongest opponents.
With Ning Qi by their side, their combined strength would actually make things more secure.
"Let's get ready to set off too."
Zhao Zhirou suddenly came over and said seriously.
"Okay, let's go."
Zhao Tianlei raised his arm and waved it.
His soldiers began to take action.
Ning Qi also boarded the flying boat.
After a period of assembly, their team finally set off an hour later.
"General Zhao, if we continue north, it will take about a day to get there."
Standing on the deck, Zhao Tianli explained, "During this period, we need to cross a turbulent area."
"We will also pass through some areas with remnants of machinery, which were left behind by each other during the great battles of the past."
"As long as we follow this route, nothing unexpected will happen."
As he spoke, he even took out the compass from his hand.
After being stimulated again, they can see the route ahead that allows them to proceed smoothly.
He also clearly marked the areas that could be traversed at two points along the route.
"Okay, let's go. You two will lead the way."
"Remember to mark the spot when other people pass by."
Zhao Tianlei nodded, then continued to direct the team on their way.
Their opponents then began to advance.
Ning Qi stood in the cabin behind the deck, looking down at the road ahead.
“Master, they must have placed these traps and restrictions here during their battles in the past.”
Yao Ling had obviously overheard their conversation.
Standing on his shoulders, I followed his analysis.
"Well, then that's none of our business."
“No one would go to these places easily.”
"If, unfortunately, war breaks out, we can simply avoid this place."
Ning Qi nodded, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.
He doesn't need to set it up or maintain it.
Ning Qi glanced at it, then went to the attic to rest and observe the situation.
Along the way, all they saw were large and small broken inner realms, clearly destroyed by them in the past.
"Master, these inner realm fragments don't seem to have any resources."
Yao Ling stood by the window, watched for a while, and then came back to speak.
"Hmm, it's not the right time yet. If they had any, they would have already looted it all."
“These things here should have been searched by them, and you can see that some of the fragments have restrictions and mechanisms on them.”
Ning Qi nodded and analyzed, "It must have been a special arrangement they made during their battle with the Immortal Clan to slow down the enemy's offensive."
“When we looked at the map on that compass, it showed that we were the only place where we were attacked from both sides.”
"The other races are all adjacent to each other by only two races."
"So, if they collude and act together, this place could be trapped at any time."
Yao Ling analyzed seriously, "This is the most dangerous time here, but they said that even if no treasure appears, it won't have a big impact."
"I don't know what will happen if I go."
"It's been a long time since we fought against the Immortal Clan."
Ning Qi, on the contrary, showed a hint of anticipation.
He ended up here because he was being hunted down by the immortals.
"Master, you said that 'inexhaustive story' wouldn't come here, would it?"
Yao Ling suddenly remembered something and came over to ask.
"That's not necessarily true, but if he comes, that would be perfect."
"My strength has already far surpassed his back then. Let's see how much his strength can improve."
Ning Qi stood up as he spoke, looking ahead.
After traveling for some time, they had covered most of the distance.
Before they knew it, they were almost at their destination.
Ning Qi saw that a number of people had already gathered on the deck, so he went downstairs as well.
They quickly arrived at the deck.
"Commander Lei."
When Zhao Tianlei saw him coming, he greeted him with a smile.
At this moment, he was not burdened by the impending danger.
On the contrary, they are very much looking forward to the challenges ahead.
"General Zhao, are we almost there?"
Ning Qi came over and asked seriously.
"That's good, we'll arrive in another half a day."
After Zhao Tianlei agreed, he pointed ahead and said, "When we get there, we'll see how things are going. I wonder how the Immortal Clan has made the arrangements."
"They must have already heard that we're coming soon."
"I have a feeling they will definitely come to test our strengths and weaknesses."
Ning Qi thought for a moment and then analyzed seriously, "Therefore, we should prepare in advance now."
You're right.
Zhao Tianlei nodded, then waved his hand: "Commander Liu, pass down the order and have our men prepare."
"Once we arrive, we will likely face a tentative challenge."
"Yes!"
Liu Wannian respectfully accepted the order and then went to make arrangements.
"Commander Zhao, please tell us what's going on here."
After he left, Zhao Tianlei continued to ask.
"General Zhao, our garrison ahead is normally guarded by about 20,000 men."
"Adding the 50,000 you brought, and the 20,000 we came with, we can barely reach 100,000."
Zhao Tianli walked over and said respectfully, "The Immortal Clan's forces are about the same as ours."
"However, they have more resources and a significant advantage over us in that they can send reinforcements at any time."
"After all, they only have two areas under their defense, while we have three."
"That is a problem."
Zhao Tianlei frowned as soon as he finished speaking.
Have they ever allied with other races?
Ning Qi frowned and asked.
"It has happened, but very rarely. Usually, it's when a supreme treasure appears."
"Their alliance will prompt us to send more troops, which will create chaos."
Zhao Tianli responded, "The last time this happened, we summoned both of our commanders at once."
"In that battle, we lost millions of people here."
"But they didn't fare any better; more of them died than we did."
“I’ve heard of it.”
Zhao Tianlei nodded and said in a deep voice, "I hope I don't run into that this time."
"Probably not. It's only happened once in the last few hundred years."
"How could we be so unlucky as to have this happen to us?"
Zhao Zhirou shook her head.
However, I still have some concerns.
After all, this situation is unavoidable as long as they are here.
"If you say there's nothing there, let's go and see what's going on."
"Also, if any relics do appear, we must protect them first."
"We absolutely cannot leak this information, otherwise this situation is very likely to occur."
Zhao Tianlei looked ahead and made serious arrangements.
"We're almost there."
“Our patrol team has already appeared here.”
At this moment, Zhao Tianli pointed ahead and spoke to them.
Ning Qi and the others all looked in that direction.
Sure enough, they discovered two teams rushing towards them from ahead.
They were both traveling at the same time, and they met in the blink of an eye.
"Your subordinate greets General Zhao!"
"..."
These two teams, ostensibly on patrol, were actually there to welcome them.
Each of them was fully armored and wore a solemn expression.
He also exuded a chilling aura of killing intent.
Clearly, they were all ruthless characters who had crawled out of piles of corpses. "No need for formalities."
Zhao Tianlei waved his hand and then asked, "What's the situation right now?"
They were the garrison troops here, so they naturally knew more about the situation here than Zhao Tianli.
"General, the Immortal Clan has also dispatched troops here."
"They've sent more people this time than usual."
One of the commanders responded respectfully.
"Oh, more than usual? What's going on? Is there something wrong here?"
The first question that came to Zhao Tianlei's mind was...
If there wasn't a specific reason, they wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths.
"We don't know yet, but our spies have already started gathering information."
"I suspect there must be some activity in their territory."
The commander shook his head and analyzed the situation.
"You mean, there might be some kind of ancient ruins?"
Zhao Tianlei successfully grasped the meaning behind his words.
That's the only reason they would send more people.
"That's right, otherwise they wouldn't have suddenly sent more troops."
"It's obvious they want to protect it."
The man nodded and responded.
"Let's not act rashly for now. We'll discuss our strategy after we get there!"
Zhao Tianlei did not act impulsively, but instead made arrangements in a deep voice.
"Yes, General, please!"
The man respectfully accepted the order and then made way for him.
"go!"
Zhao Tianlei continued leading the team on their journey.
The large group headed towards their garrison.
After half a day, they finally arrived here.
Ning Qi stood on the deck, observing everything around him.
This place is actually a broken continent.
There are still many troops stationed here, and troops are also stationed on some nearby continental fragments.
"Master, did they use an eye array?"
Yao Ling watched intently and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
Ning Qi nodded: "This formation is not easy to break through, and even if it does, it will be divided up by them."
"Therefore, no one will easily take the risk!"
Yao Ling agreed wholeheartedly.
"good."
Ning Qi nodded and focused his attention ahead.
On this largest fragment of the continent lay their military camp.
"General, please!"
It was at this moment that Zhao Tianli respectfully extended the invitation.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already arrived at this continent.
Everyone disembarked from the flying boat, while the remaining people were responsible for moving the flying boat to the other side.
When they arrived, there were already many soldiers lined up on both sides of the square waiting for them.
"General Zhao!"
"..."
Upon seeing that they had all arrived, they greeted them respectfully.
Zhao Tianlei responded with a fist salute, and was then led to their tent.
Inside the long tent, some people were already waiting for their arrival.
"General Zhao, this is the commander here, Wang Mang."
Zhao Tianli introduced him to the situation.
Lin Fan also took the opportunity to go and see.
The person in front of me was burly and had a menacing aura.
Especially her eyes, which looked like she wanted to devour you.
To be able to command the three armies here is no ordinary person.
"General Zhao, please forgive me for not greeting you sooner."
When Wang Mang saw them approaching, he greeted them politely.
There was no respect in his eyes like that of the soldiers.
They were just a bit more polite than the others.
"Please don't be shy, everyone, please have a seat."
As Zhao Tianlei spoke, he stepped forward and invited everyone to sit down.
"Bring up the food and drinks!"
Wang Mang nodded, then waved his hand.
Immediately, someone brought out the wine and dishes.
The people from both sides then took their seats.
Ning Qi and Zhao Zhirou sat down on either side of Zhao Tianlei.
"General Wang, what is the current situation?"
Although Zhao Tianlei already knew some of the details, out of respect, he asked first.
"General, we are relatively safe here for now."
"Although the Immortal Clan has reinforced its forces, they dare not act rashly."
"We suspect they have made some discoveries within their territory."
"So, I've already sent people to investigate."
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang said in a deep voice, "Right now, what needs to be confirmed is that they have not formed an alliance with any other races."
"That way we don't need to worry too much."
"Okay, everyone has worked hard, let's have a drink first."
As Zhao Tianlei spoke, he picked up his wine glass and raised it high.
"cheers!"
"..."
After he finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses.
He then tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Everyone has finished eating. Now we are about to face a challenge."
Zhao Tianlei put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "We must be prepared to prevent a surprise attack from the enemy."
"Yes!"
"..."
After he said that, everyone responded.
Then they began to feast.
"Master, what do we do next?"
The spirit of medicine seemed to have thought of something and asked a question in his dantian.
"Of course we're going to sneak in and see what's going on."
Ning Qi smiled, revealing a confident expression.
Clearly, he was ready to go and act as a spy.
"Ah, are we going to the territory of the Immortal Clan?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Ling couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, since everyone suspects they have something going on, I can go and see what's really going on."
"If a real treasure or some kind of relic appears, just tell them to come."
Ning Qi said with a smile, "It can be considered revenge."
"It's a pity, I don't know if the Dao Bujin is here."
"If he were here too, then we would have truly gotten our revenge."
Yao Ling said in a deep voice.
"General Wang, what's the situation with the people you arranged?"
At this moment, Zhao Tianlei asked another question.
"Not yet, they are intentionally hiding the secret."
“Our spies went, but they were either discovered or they didn’t get any useful information.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang shook his head and said...
"In that case, I'll go."
Ning Qi chimed in.
His words attracted the attention of several people.
Wang Mang, in particular, frowned deeply. (End of Chapter)
