Chapter 1419: Movements of the Immortal Race

“Alright, then come with me.”

Seeing that he was going to deal with people of the Immortal Race, Zhao Tianlei was overjoyed.

The reason he had chosen this place was also to seek out the strongest to temper himself.

With Ning Qi following along, their combined strength would instead make things more secure.

“We should get ready to depart as well.”

Zhao Zhirou suddenly came over and spoke seriously.

“Alright, move out.”

Zhao Tianlei swung his arm in a rousing gesture.

His soldiers all began to move at once.

Ning Qi also followed them onto the Flying Boat.

Their forces, after a period of assembling, finally set off after about one two-hour period.

“General Zhao, we’ll keep heading north; it’ll take about a day to arrive.”

Standing on the deck, Zhao Tianli began explaining, “During that time, we’ll need to pass through a Chaotic Flow Area.”

“We’ll also pass through some regions where old Mechanisms still remain; they were all left behind back when the great battles were fought.”

“As long as we follow this route, nothing unexpected will happen.”

As he spoke, he deliberately took out the Compass in his hand.

Once activated, it showed the route ahead along which they could proceed smoothly.

And at two locations on that route, he clearly marked out the zones they could safely traverse.

“Mm, let’s go. You’re in charge of leading the way.”

“Everyone else, pay attention as we pass through.”

Zhao Tianlei nodded, then continued to command the troops to hurry on.

Their side thus began to push forward.

Ning Qi stood on the cabin behind the deck, looking down from above at the road ahead.

“Master, these must be Mechanisms and Restrictions they set up here during those past wars.”

Medicine Spirit had clearly heard their earlier conversation.

Standing on his shoulder, it followed up with its analysis.

“Mm, then they have nothing to do with us.”

“No one would casually come to these places.”

“If we’re unfortunate enough that a war really breaks out, we just avoid them.”

Ning Qi nodded, not paying much mind to this.

There was no need for him to arrange them, nor to maintain them.

He only gave them a glance, then went into the loft, resting while observing the situation here.

All along the way, what he saw were shattered Inner Realms of all sizes, clearly all blasted apart by them in the past.

“Master, these Inner Realm fragments don’t seem to have any resources.”

Standing by the window, Medicine Spirit watched for a while, then came back to report.

“Mm, it’s not the time; if there were, they would have been stripped clean long ago.”

“These here must have already been searched by them. Besides, look—some fragments still have Restrictions and Mechanisms on them.”

Ning Qi nodded and analyzed, “They must have deliberately set those up during their battles with the Immortal Race, to slow the enemy’s advance.”

“From the map we saw on that Compass before, it showed that our position is the only one being attacked from both front and rear.”

“The other races’ fronts all border only two races each.”

“So if those other races collude and act together, this place could be trapped by them at any time.”

Medicine Spirit analyzed in all seriousness, “That would be the most dangerous moment here. But they said that as long as no Supreme Treasure appears, it won’t have too great an impact.”

“I wonder what the situation will be like once we arrive.”

“It’s been a long time since we fought the Immortal Race.”

Ning Qi instead revealed a bit of anticipation.

Back then, he had been hunted by people of the Immortal Race, which was how he ended up here.

“Master, do you think that Dao Bujin will come here?”

Medicine Spirit suddenly thought of something and came over to ask.

“Not necessarily. But if he does come, that would actually be perfect.”

“My strength now has already far surpassed what his was back then; the question is how far his own strength has advanced.”

As Ning Qi spoke, he stood up, his gaze cast toward the front.

After they hurried along for some time, they had already covered most of the journey.

Unconsciously, they were almost at their destination.

Seeing that quite a few people were already assembling on the deck, Ning Qi took the opportunity to head downstairs.

He quickly arrived on the deck.

“Commander Lei.”

Zhao Tianlei saw him coming and greeted him with a smile.

At this moment, he showed none of the heaviness of someone about to face danger.

On the contrary, he was very much looking forward to the coming challenge.

“General Zhao, are we almost there?”

Ning Qi came over and asked seriously.

“That’s right. Give it another half a day, and we’ll arrive.”

After Zhao Tianlei replied, he pointed ahead, “Once we arrive, we’ll see how things stand. I don’t know how the Immortal Race has arranged their side.”

“They must already have received word and know we’re about to arrive.”

“I have a feeling they’ll definitely come to probe our strength.”

Ning Qi thought for a moment, then analyzed seriously, “So we should make preparations in advance now.”

“You’re right.”

Zhao Tianlei nodded, then waved, “Commander Liu, pass the word down—have our people get ready.”

“Once we arrive, we’re very likely to face a probing challenge.”

“Yes, sir!”

Liu Wannian accepted the order respectfully, then went down to make the arrangements.

“Commander Zhao, tell us what the situation is like on our side.”

Only after seeing him leave did Zhao Tianlei continue asking.

“General Zhao, there are usually about twenty thousand troops stationed at the garrison ahead.”

“Add the fifty thousand you brought, and the twenty thousand coming with us, and we can barely reach one hundred thousand.”

Zhao Tianli came over and said respectfully, “The Immortal Race has about the same number of troops on their side.”

“But they have more resources, and one of their greater advantages over us is that they can dispatch reinforcements at any time.”
