Chapter 622: Toll Fee |
"Once this operation ends, we can head directly to the Realm Sea Battlefield."
Zhao Tianlei continued, "Wait here, I'll go check out the situation."
"Alright!"
Zhao Zhirou agreed.
Ning Qi, meanwhile, looked ahead.
Before them, a Flying Vessel was already speeding over.
Several other fleets followed close behind.
Clearly, most people had arrived, and it was precisely the time they had agreed to make their move.
"That person as dark as charcoal is Xu Xiaoran of the Blood Demon clan. His strength is unfathomable."
Zhao Zhirou began introducing them to Ning Qi: "On the other side is his brother, Xu Xiaolin. His strength is also not weak."
"These are all descendants of Xu Shichang, right?"
Lin Fan nodded, asking curiously.
"Yes, they are his direct grandsons."
Zhao Zhirou nodded, then pointed at another person behind them: "This person is from another branch clan. They share the same lineage, but he is not a descendant of Xu Shichang."
"The leader is Xu Shijie, and the one next to him is his younger sister, Xu Wanrou."
"This really is a big family."
Lin Fan said with a laugh.
You could tell just from their branch lineages.
"That fat guy over there is also a branch of our lineage."
"His relationship is similar to that between Xu Xiaoran and Xu Shijie."
Zhao Zhirou continued introducing: "His name is Zhao Yuntian, and the one beside him is Zhao Yunxiao."
"I don't know most of the others. These are all people we've had dealings with during our trials."
"Some are enemies, others are people we've cooperated with before."
"Mm, once we go in later, no matter who it is."
"If they get in my way, I'll just clean them all up."
Ning Qi nodded, not particularly concerned.
To them, these people might be allies or enemies.
But he simply didn't know them. If not for Zhao Zhirou's introductions, he wouldn't even know what these people were about.
"It looks like they are preparing to make their move."
"Quite a few people came this time, though many are small fleets like ours."
"The real main forces have probably long since gone to the Realm Sea Battlefield."
Zhao Zhirou looked ahead, then added, "I wonder how they plan to open this defensive barrier later."
"That's not something we need to worry about. It seems they intend to cooperate."
Ning Qi didn't make a big deal of it, just said calmly.
With so many of them waiting, they definitely didn't want one or two families to bear the loss of breaking this seal alone.
Once everyone arrived, they would act together. Everyone would suffer some loss, that would be fair.
Zhao Zhirou pointed ahead and said, "It seems that's really the case."
Hearing this, Ning Qi just looked in that direction without saying anything.
At this moment, people from several families had all arrived in the void.
Before them were the formation restrictions blocking their way.
Here, there were also visible ripples of a Protective Light Barrier surging.
These light barriers formed a chasm blocking their path, making it impossible for these people to approach normally.
Ning Qi also focused his attention ahead, watching how these people would break through this place.
These individuals simultaneously took out several compasses, which displayed waves of heart-palpitating fluctuations within.
Under the influence of these fluctuations, they continued to channel energy into the compasses.
Finally, each erupted with beams of blazing light, surging violently towards the formation ahead.
"Boom!"
"Crash!"
The next moment, formation fluctuations began here.
This was caused by their attacks striking it.
"Master, are they reliable? If they completely destroy this, won't it be very dangerous inside?"
The Pill Spirit, inside Ning Qi's Dantian, couldn't help but ask with concern.
"No, they are probably thinking that after destroying this place, the inside will also be shattered."
"Then, they will have their chance."
Ning Qi shook his head and said with a smile, "This really is a good method, just don't know how effective it will be."
"That will depend on their strength."
The Pill Spirit also adopted a look of watching a show.
"Seems somewhat useful."
Ning Qi looked ahead and said seriously, "Just lacking a bit of finesse. If they keep forcing it like this, it probably won't be enough."
"But they don't seem inclined to use their brains either."
The Pill Spirit glanced forward and couldn't help but sigh.
"No matter, I'll give them a hand."
"Otherwise, they might suffer a backlash."
Ning Qi smiled, then suddenly moved.
With a single sway of his body, he abruptly leaped into the air.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived right next to the crowd.
"Who is this?"
"Don't act recklessly!"
"Get away from here!"
"...."
The people behind, seeing Ning Qi suddenly approach, all began to shout reprimands.
"Don't move! He's my brother, he's here to help us."
Seeing this, Zhao Tianlei hurriedly reminded everyone.
Only after hearing his words did they stop.
"Hey, Zhao Tianlei, if your man wants to act, why didn't you tell us in advance!"
"Exactly, if something goes wrong, you'll be responsible."
"We didn't put in so much effort just to watch you show off!"
"......"
Although they gave him face, they still kept chattering incessantly.
Hearing their words, Ning Qi turned his head to look at them: "Since you say that, then there's no need for me to help you."
"However, when it comes to entering, it goes to those with the ability."
"I have a way to get in, so I'll take the first step. Don't worry."
"I'll leave you something."
He had already found the flaw here, and their destruction had completely revealed the method to him.
But since they spoke like that, he had no intention of giving them a free lunch.
"Ting, if you can get in, I'll eat all the meteorites here."
"I think he's just bragging."
Even so, the people behind him still didn't believe his words.
Each wore an expression of looking at a fool.
Ning Qi just glanced at the crowd, then with a flash, directly merged into the protective formation barrier.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
Especially the few who had been shouting earlier, their mouths hung open.
They simply couldn't believe that the restriction formation they all joined forces to attack couldn't break through.
From beginning to end, he hadn't made any special move. He just swaggered right in before their eyes.
"How is this possible?"
"He must have taken advantage of our destruction to sneak in."
"Kid, get out here!"
"...."
These people began to discuss, and some believed Ning Qi had found an opportunity through trickery.
That's how he entered so easily, so many started shouting provocatively.
"A bunch of fools, do you think anyone could enter before these restrictions were broken?"
"If your pitiful destructive power could let someone find a way in, then why didn't you find your own way in?"
Ning Qi, from inside the barrier, said mockingly, "I found the flaw and entered on my own. It has nothing to do with you damaging the restrictions here."
"That is to say, your destruction has absolutely no effect on this place."
"All your destruction here is in vain."
After his words, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
They had actually already noticed that no matter how they damaged it, the place they just damaged would repair and heal on its own immediately after.
A few people heard his words, exchanged glances.
"Right, you can't hog all the resources here by yourself."
"We all discovered this together. If you try to monopolize it, don't blame us for being impolite."
......
Everyone now began to point their spearheads at Zhao Tianlei behind them.
"He was going to help everyone earlier. It was because you cursed him that he went in by himself!"
"Now that he can enter on his own, you instead demand he take you in."
"Now that he won't play with you, you instead blame us brothers. You people really are something."
After her words, everyone fell silent.
What she said was indeed correct. Everything happened because they didn't take Ning Qi seriously, leading to this result.
"If you want me to take you in, fine."
"Each person gives me one Supreme Treasure."
Ning Qi showed no intention of going in alone. Instead, he started trying to get something for nothing right there.
One Supreme Treasure became the stepping stone for entry.
This made everyone feel intense resentment.
"Kid, you blackmailing us like this, we don't believe you won't come out."
"Once you come out, we will definitely tear you to pieces!"
Zhao Yuntian glared at Ning Qi, saying through gritted teeth with hatred.
Ning Qi spread his hands: "Actually threatening me, thinking I'm afraid of you?"
"Zhao Yuntian, this is a brother of my Zhao Family."
"Whoever dares to touch him, I, Zhao Tianlei, will definitely lead my men to fight you to the death."
At this point, Zhao Tianlei stepped forward, glaring at everyone: "He can enter, that's his method. If you want to enter without paying some price, then obediently use your own methods."
At this moment, Xu Xiaoran stepped forward and said, "One Supreme Treasure. Once inside, we'll have plenty of chances to obtain more."
"If he's willing to use this as a stepping stone, I think it's worth it."
Xu Shijie also stepped forward, adding, "This brother, we'll hand the Supreme Treasures to Zhao Tianlei. You can settle accounts with him later."
"Can you let us in?"
After his words, Zhao Yuntian's face beside him turned ashen.
He never expected the people here to be so un-united. In just a few sentences' time.
They could all defect one after another.
Before he could say anything, his brother Zhao Yunxiao agreed first.
Matters having come to this, they could only leave the toll.
Seeing they had all agreed, Ning Qi suddenly flashed.
He rushed back out from inside.
After coming out, he glanced at the crowd.
He directly activated his Dao Patterns. Waves of water-wave patterns began to condense, seeping towards the barrier before him.
In a mere instant, this originally impregnable barrier was directly opened.
"Whoosh!"
From within, gusts of Fierce Wind also surged out.
"It's open!"
"Go!"
Immediately, someone tried to charge in.
"Hand over your Supreme Treasures!"
Ning Qi, however, waved a hand.
The gap abruptly began to shrink.
His words made everyone stop.
Many people looked at each other.
"This is mine, take it!"
Zhao Yunxiao took out his Supreme Treasure, then asked, "Can all our people enter now?"
"One item per faction is enough."
"You can send in as many people as you want."
Lin Fan nodded, unceremoniously accepting his Supreme Treasure with a smile.
Only then did Zhao Yuntian lead his men to charge inside.
"This is mine!"
Next, the others also one after another handed their Supreme Treasures to Ning Qi.
He subsequently collected these Supreme Treasures, and they all charged inside one after another.
At this point, Zhao Tianlei hurried over and said.
"Alright!"
Ning Qi agreed, then prepared to follow them in.
"I'm going too."
Zhao Zhirou also followed.
"You just stay outside and guard. I'll lead the team in."
Zhao Tianlei shook his head: "We don't know what dangers are inside. Our forces outside can't be left unattended."
"Alright."
Zhao Zhirou was somewhat disappointed, but ultimately agreed.
After she agreed, she followed by stepping back.
Zhao Tianlei then took some Experts and flew off together.
Ning Qi followed closely by his side.
After they entered, they saw the others inside had already begun to take action.
"This is actually a complete shattered continent."
They were all outside earlier, unable to investigate the situation inside.
This place was actually a damaged Inner World.
Only, one-third of it was missing, making it dilapidated.
But from this shattered celestial body, one could still sense powerful fluctuations. Clearly, this was once also an unrivalled celestial body.
It's just that for some reason, it fell into ruin.
Ning Qi had no intention of acting together with them. He cupped his fists towards him and said.
"Brother Ning, do you need me to send someone to protect you?"
Hearing this, Zhao Tianlei hurriedly asked.
"That won't be necessary."
Ning Qi shook his head with a smile, then added, "These people are no match for me."
"But if there are any dangers here, we could watch out for each other!"
Zhao Tianlei was still uneasy.
