Old acquaintances

As time passed, they rested here for a sufficient period of time.

The group gathered together again.

Let's get ready to go.

Li Tian looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Now is the perfect time."

"Well, in that case, let's set off."

Liu Qianfeng was the first to respond.

"Good."

Xu Lexian agreed.

The group then set off.

Each of their teams deployed two Flying Vessel.

One team is in front, and the other is behind, always on guard.

They continued on their way.

They flew through the void for two hours before something happened in front of them.

"Did you guys just notice? It looks like someone went past."

One of the guards pointed ahead and said.

"There is someone there, but we don't know who it is."

Ji Wanru also looked ahead and said, "Be careful."

"You two go and take a look!"

Li Tian immediately arranged for two guards to go over.

"Yes!"

After agreeing, the two flew off ahead.

After checking, they found nothing wrong.

And so, they all came back again.

"I don't see anyone."

One of them stepped forward to report.

"This place can affect our Divine Sense exploration; we can't detect anything from this distance."

Ning Qi was also observing, but he couldn't see what was going on either.

"I'll go take a look!"

Li Tian couldn't wait any longer and was already preparing to set off.

"Never mind, I'll go!"

Ning Qi shook his head.

"I'll go with you!"

Li Tian insisted on going.

"Alright!"

After Ning Qi agreed, he let him continue forward with him.

You need to be careful.

Seeing this, Ji Wanru quickly reminded the two of them.

Don't worry!

Ning Qi gave a shout and then continued forward.

"Young Master Ding, what do you think it might be?"

As Li Tian and he sped forward, they asked each other questions.

"They're definitely not one of us. We just need to see if they're from the Devil Race or the Demon Race."

Ning Qi shook his head and said uncertainly.

"That's right, acting so suspiciously, they can't be our own people except for Devil Race and Demon Race."

"Even if Human Race, it's unlikely; they're our allies."

Even if we meet, I won't fail to say hello!

After listening to his analysis, Li Tian also began to analyze it himself.

"Go and see for yourself, then you'll know what's going on."

Ning Qi stopped talking nonsense and sped away.

Li Tian followed closely behind, continuing forward.

After a short while, the two finally arrived at the area where the figure had just appeared.

Then, they both stopped.

"Call!"

Apart from the gusts of Gale, nothing was discovered here.

"They escaped pretty quickly."

Ning Qi focused his gaze in one direction, his brows furrowed.

You discovered it?

Upon hearing this, Li Tian immediately became interested.

They also looked ahead.

Before them lay nothing but emptiness; they could see nothing at all.

Young Master Ding is very strong, far surpassing my own abilities.

Perhaps he can see what's going on.

"Okay, you go back now. I'll go see who it is."

Ning Qi nodded and said in a deep voice.

"I'll go with you, just in case they've set a trap."

Li Tian, still uneasy, followed up with his suggestion.

"No need, even if it's a trap, it doesn't matter!"

"I can handle it!"

Ning Qi shook his head, then sped away.

Li Tian had no choice but to turn back.

When he returned, everyone turned their attention to him.

What happened?

Liu Qianfeng asked.

"He went ahead to check the situation!"

Li Tian sighed, then said, "We don't know who they are, so let's just wait here."

"That's the only way."

Xu Lexian agreed as well.

"Everything will be alright."

"Young Master Ding is very strong!"

Ji Wanru focused her attention on what was ahead, her eyes filled with worry.

Ning Qi had already gone far ahead of them.

At this moment, he was traveling by his own Flying Vessel boat.

They chased after the lingering scent ahead.

"Master, is it really necessary for us to go this far?"

The Medicine Spirit, perched on his shoulder, gazed ahead.

This place made him feel uneasy.

"Don't worry, I already figured out who it was."

Ning Qi smiled before speaking.

"Oh, you knew all along? Why didn't you tell them?"

Upon hearing this, Medicine Spirit couldn't help but ask curiously.

Hearing his words, Medicine Spirit finally felt relieved.

Now that Ningdi already knows, there's nothing to worry about.

"They are Devil Race."

"Moreover, they should know each other."

Ning Qi sped up after finishing his sentence.

"Whoosh!"

In just a moment, I was gone.

When it reappeared, it was already far away.

"Master, look, there's someone here!"

The Medicine Spirit also noticed something and pointed ahead, saying...

"Young Master Ning!"

Just then, a cry of surprise came from ahead.

That voice belonged to Zhao Zhirou.

"Miss Zhao!"

Ning Qi also came over to say hello.

"Young Master Ning, it's been a long time."

Zhao Tianlei also came over and said.

"I had a feeling it was you guys, and it really was."

Ning Qi smiled and stopped directly in front of them.

"You're really something, managing to mingle with the Immortal Race here."

Zhao Zhirou looked at Ning Qi and then asked, "Who were those people just now?"

"A single guard unit represents one Main City of the Immortal Race, while several smaller units represent guard units for two or three Main City."

"They came here to go down and see the Sword King below."

Ning Qi said simply.

There was no intention to hide anything from them.

"I see."

"We're also here to find this Sword King."

Zhao Tianlei nodded, a look of sudden realization on his face.

Have you discussed finding out their purpose?

"What's the purpose of gathering all these Troops here?"

Ning Qi inquired.

He came here earlier to gather information about this place.

However, there's still no progress.

"Know."

Zhao Tianlei didn't hide anything and said directly, "Their main purpose is for a Ruins that is about to erupt here."

"It should erupt in about another month."

"Sending troops here is to prepare in advance, so that we can be more assertive."

"They have more say when they go in!"

"Oh, you've already found out?"

Ning Qi listened to his words and then asked curiously.

"Hmm, not bad!"

Zhao Zhirou also responded.

"In that case, let's just wait and see what happens!"

"I'm still here undercover, trying to find the answers."

Ning Qi breathed a sigh of relief, then continued, "But why did you risk coming here?"

This is what he wanted to know; it's dangerous here.

Zhao Tianlei's personal visit for the sake of the Sword King was far too reckless.

"We? Naturally, we must stop them from obtaining the Sword King Inheritance here!"

Zhao Tianlei smiled and continued, "Otherwise, it wouldn't benefit any of us if any of them got it!"

"You're right, but it's completely unnecessary!"

"This place is far too dangerous!"

After Ning Qi, Ning Qi said in a deep voice, "You should be preparing for the battle against the Ruins outside."

"Unnecessary."

Zhao Zhirou added, "We already have people prepared, the two of us won't go!"

Isn't this blatantly giving up this opportunity?

Ning Qi looked puzzled upon hearing her words.

"Another group from our Lineage will go; we'll be responsible for guarding this place!"

"At the same time, it also interferes with these people!"

Zhao Tianlei echoed this.

His eyes were full of smugness.

Clearly, they had made new arrangements after Ning Qi left.

That's why I'm so confident.

"In that case, I'm relieved!"

What are your plans?

Seeing their confident demeanor, Ning Qi then asked.

"Kill! Kill everyone who tries to go down!"

"Leave no one alive, unless they are Devil Race."

Zhao Tianlei explained their purpose.

In fact, Ning Qi had already guessed it.

What the Devil Race need to do is wipe them all out.

This isn't Devil Race are cruel; it's simply a conflict between different races.

If it were someone from the Immortal Race, given the opportunity, they would also take action and show no mercy.

"Don't move my team for now."

"I'm going to use their strength to climb to the next level!"

After listening to their words, Ning Qi replied, "However, I can take you to find another team."

"That bastard tripped me up on the way, wasting a lot of my time."

The first person he thought of was Xiao Haotian.

"Oh, where is it!"

Zhao Tianlei didn't even bother to refute him.

Since these people still have value to Ning Qi, there's no reason for him to kill them.

On the contrary, those who have offended Ning Qi must not be let off the hook.

"Since your fundamental goal is not the Sword King Inheritance..."

"That makes things easier. The group is in this direction!"

Ning Qi pointed in a direction and then said, "We haven't seen any of his men coming along the way!"

"So I figured their people must still be behind them!"

"However, there's a type of insect on the road that's extremely dangerous!"

"You're talking about Void Insects, which are indeed dangerous to the Immortal Race."

"However, these insects are afraid of our Demon Flame!"

"Therefore, there is absolutely no threat to us!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianlei nonchalantly replied, "Since it's in this direction, let's go there!"

"I'll avenge you!"

"Be careful, this guy is cunning!"

Ning Qi nodded and earnestly reminded him, "This person is the brother of a domain lord of the Immortal Race!"

"Oh, is he the brother of a domain lord?"

"That's wonderful! It's like a gift delivered right to our doorstep!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianlei became even more interested.

I never expected to meet a domain lord's brother here.

This status is far more noble than his.

"Not bad, we have a bit of a history!"

"Just capture him, and you can do whatever you want with him!"

Ning Qi nodded and said with a smile.

"Good, your intelligence is excellent!"

Zhao Tianlei laughed loudly and looked ahead, "I'll just take a detour and see where that kid is!"

"Young Master Ning, what about you? Aren't you coming with us?"

Zhao Zhirou understood his implied meaning and couldn't help but show a look of reluctance.

We met here so recently, and now we have to part ways.

This made her feel somewhat disappointed.

"Yes, you guys go ahead! I need to go downstairs for a bit!"

Ning Qi nodded and then said, "Be careful when you go over there; there are probably still people here."

Don't worry, even if we run into them, it won't bother us!

Zhao Tianlei said nonchalantly, "In that case, let's not go any further."

"I'm going to go and meet this person."

"Okay, then let's not go!"

Ning Qi also clasped his hands in a fist salute and said so.

"Young Master Ning, you must be careful."

Zhao Zhirou reminded her.

Don't worry!

Ning Qi simply gave a shout and boarded his Flying Vessel.

Then, he maneuvered his Flying Vessel back to investigate.

This time, Ning Qi didn't delay and quickly returned to his team.

At this moment, everyone was still waiting for him to return.

Everyone's face was filled with anxiety.

"I'm back!"

Patrolling guards spotted him immediately.

He immediately reported this to everyone.

Soon, everyone's attention was focused on him.

Everyone's face was filled with curiosity.

Clearly, they wanted to see who had been following them.

"Young Master Ding, how's the investigation going?"

Li Tian was the first to come over and asked the question.

"Yes, the investigation is complete; it's Giant Bees."

"I've already killed it, and even took a few of its inner cores!"

Ning Qi nodded and then took out several inner cores.

This was the one he obtained from killing the Giant Bees earlier.

Now is the perfect time to bring it out and pass it off as genuine.

Upon hearing this, everyone crowded around and, upon seeing the inner core in his hand, believed him.

A strong smell of blood could still be detected on the inner core.

Clearly, it was killed not long ago.

"Since there's nothing wrong, let's continue on our way!"

"It shouldn't be far off!"

Li Tian clapped his hands and said in a deep voice.

Now that Ning Qi has returned safely, it means there is no danger ahead.

Therefore, it is safe to set off again.

"Good!"

"..."

After he said that, many people responded.

"Young Master Ding, are you alright?"

Ji Wanru also came over, her eyes filled with worry.

Seeing Ning Qi's relaxed appearance, I felt relieved.

However, even so, I still can't help but ask one question.

"It's nothing, just a few Giant Bees, they can't hurt me!"

Ning Qi shook his head, a relaxed expression on his face. "We're safe now."

"There are no enemies ahead of us!"

"Alright, let's set off then!"

Ji Wanru nodded and echoed her words.

"Set off!"

After she said that, everyone agreed.

Then, their team set off.

This time, there was no lingering.

They sped off towards the entrance ahead.

"Master, you said the Zhao siblings should be alright, right?"

The Medicine Spirit, residing in his Dantian, couldn't help but ask.

I haven't had a chance to say anything yet.

Now that things are finally quiet, he has time to analyze the situation with Ning Qi.

"No problem, they have a lot of people, and they're all experts!"

Ning Qi wasn't worried. "The ones who should be worried are their own people; they probably don't realize they're about to face annihilation."
