From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zheng Yi had already thought about how to deal with the current situation if they were ambushed.

If the people who ambushed them were not particularly strong, they would not cause huge losses to the disciples of Xingxiu Sea.

They can use this opportunity to train their troops.

Wang Haiweng discovered that although the cultivators of Qingzhu Mountain were fighting for their lives, the overall gap between the two sides was obvious.

Even if they tried their best, it would be difficult for them to cause fatal injuries to the Xingxiu Sea disciples whose strength far exceeded theirs.

Therefore, Wang Haiweng decisively followed Zheng Yi's advice and stayed to train the troops.

After all, although the disciples of Xingxiu Sea are all cultivators with good strength, they have also experienced various tribulations in the process of cultivation.

However, their usual training is completely different from real war.

Wang Haiweng felt this very clearly.

These female cultivators from the Xingxiu Sea have participated in many battles in daily life.

But when it comes to the battlefield, a real fight of life and death, the gap is immediately apparent.

Even so, there will definitely be some damage when training troops in actual combat.

But no matter what, they are much stronger than when they were on the battlefield and had a head-on battle with the monks of the Nether Spirit Clan.

Thinking about the expressions on the faces of the other elders when he told them about Zheng Yi's idea, Wang Haiweng even found it a little funny.

There were some elders who disagreed at the time, but they were finally convinced by him.

None of these elders were fighting with all their strength now, and they were all dealing with the masters from Qingzhu Mountain to delay time.

Or pay attention to the situation on the battlefield, and if there is a really critical situation, go and help.

Although everything went well, there was still a vague haze lingering in Wang Haiweng's heart.

He could also feel that things were definitely not that simple.

Since guys like Ouyang Qi were able to arrange this ambush with a high probability, it couldn't be that Qingzhushan was the only one to take action, right?
But after fighting for such a long time, he had never seen any other cultivators except those from Qingzhu Mountain.

"Could it be..." Wang Haiweng, who was avoiding Ouyang Qi's attack, suddenly had an idea.

In their Xingxiu Sea, the only person who could be so scheming and calculating is probably Zheng Yi, right?
After realizing this, Wang Haiweng suddenly became a little anxious.

I had no idea of ​​the enemy's strength before, so I rashly sent a message for help to Zheng Yi.

At that time, he thought that he reacted quickly.

Now thinking about it, wasn't it a little too smooth at that time? Maybe the other party wanted to take this opportunity to lure Zheng Yi over?

Wang Haiweng made a move with his hand, and a huge wave appeared out of nowhere in the air, blowing Ouyang Qi back.

"Very good, you finally stopped being a coward and just hid and didn't fight back." Ouyang Qi grinned and shouted, "Kill!"

The roar shook the heaven and earth.

The disciples of Qingzhu Mountain seemed to be energized and their attacks became more and more fierce.

If this had happened three days ago, the female disciples of Xingxiu Sea would have been in a state of panic.

Who knows, there might be some casualties because they are caught unprepared for the opponent's sudden attack.

After becoming familiar with their ferocious attacks, the female disciples were able to deal with them in an orderly manner.

Although she still couldn't attack as fiercely as the opponent, with the help of the sisters and juniors around her, it was very easy to resist the opponent's attack.

Wang Haiweng was in a panic, but still suffered some injuries. Fortunately, they were mostly minor injuries and did not affect his combat effectiveness.

However, after being tormented by Ouyang Qi, Wang Haiweng gradually calmed down.

Zheng Yi is a meticulous person and will definitely not be fooled by the other party's clumsy tricks.

The fact was just as he thought.

Zheng Yi and Lin Junrong had actually been there for more than an hour, but they had been hiding in a place where they could see the battlefield and were watching the battle.

"Elder Zheng, let's go and help. Qingzhu Mountain is not very strong. As long as we suddenly take action to kill Ouyang Qi, the rest of the people will immediately collapse."

Since this matter concerns his own sect, Lin Junrong is obviously anxious.

Zheng Yi tried to comfort her with a smile, "Elder Lin, please be patient. Look at the current battlefield situation. It is obvious that those people from Qingzhu Mountain are not a real threat to our safety."

"I have already told Elder Wang that if we are ambushed by the enemy and their strength is not very strong, we should use this opportunity to train our troops."

Lin Junrong raised his eyebrows and said in a displeased voice: "Training? This is a real enemy? You are basically sending our Xingxiu Sea disciples to die!"

"That's better than them going to the battlefield and facing the army of the Nether Spirit Clan." Zheng Yi stared at Lin Junrong without flinching.

"Elder Lin, I think you should have seen what the army of the Nether Spirit Clan looks like? Don't you know how they drive away all kinds of strange beasts and attack in an overwhelming manner?"

As he spoke, Zheng Yi pointed in the direction of the Void Cloud Whale on Ximing Mountain.

"Compared to that scene, what is this scene now?"

"Let them get used to the real battlefield now, so that when we fight the Nether Spirits, fewer people will die."

"You are also a monk, don't you understand this little trade-off?"

"I..." Lin Junrong wanted to refute, but when she met Zheng Yi's eyes, which were as silent as an unfathomable pool of water, her momentum suddenly weakened.

Obviously, his strength was much stronger than Zheng Yi's, but he felt that he didn't dare to face him directly.

"Besides." Zheng Yi spoke again: "Don't you find it strange?"

"What's strange?" Lin Junrong's attention was suddenly drawn elsewhere.

"Elder Wang told me before that Qingzhu Mountain is just a small and not very popular cultivation sect."

"The strongest one is their sect leader Ouyang Qi. But such a small sect can now compete with our Xingxiu Sea."

"Even if we wanted to train our troops and didn't use our full strength right away, aren't they a little too strong?"

"How could there be no problem here?"

Lin Junrong was not stupid. He was just more worried about the safety of the disciples of Xingxiu Sea, so he didn't think about it that way.

Now that Zheng Yi mentioned this, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

"It's really strange. How on earth can they maintain such a high combat effectiveness for such a long time?"

"If it is a secret method to stimulate one's own potential, it will definitely not last this long." She and Zheng Yi have been here for an hour, and these cultivators from Qingzhu Mountain are still alive and well.

No one would believe me if you say there is no problem here.

"So, we have to observe carefully now." Zheng Yi once again focused his attention on the battlefield.

Lin Junrong subconsciously prepared to activate the shuttle and rush over to capture a few people alive to interrogate them.

Zheng Yi's face changed drastically and he hurriedly stopped Lin Junrong.

"Wait... Elder Lin, don't be impulsive. If we go there now, it would be no different from committing suicide." Lin Junrong's puzzled gaze fell on Zheng Yi.

"The other party went to such great lengths to intercept our Void Cloud Whale in Xingxiu Sea. There must be experts lying in ambush around, waiting to trick us."

Hearing this, Lin Junrong took a breath. Although there was no evidence yet, he felt that Zheng Yi was very likely right.

"What should we do now?" Perhaps she didn't even notice that she subconsciously lowered her voice when she said this.

"Don't worry, time is on our side. Even though the Nether Spirits have already begun a full-scale attack, this is still our human sphere of influence after all."

"It's impossible for the sneak attacker to use too much strength. I guess there are only a few experts lying in ambush nearby."

"So, I deliberately chose a route to sneak in where no one would notice."

Lin Junrong was overwhelmed and couldn't keep up with Zheng Yi's thoughts at all: "How to solve it?"

"These guys are clearly fighting at the full potential, but their abilities can last for such a long time."

"Obviously, someone is providing them with the necessary power. Let's find that person first."

"Okay, I'll help you look for it." Lin Junrong said immediately.

"Never use magic, otherwise you might be noticed by the enemy." It's always good to have someone to help, and Zheng Yi did not forget to remind Lin Junrong.

"I... know." A blush appeared on Lin Junrong's tough face, which was different from that of ordinary women.

If Zheng Yi hadn't reminded her, she would have really planned to use telescopic vision to observe the situation on the battlefield.

He quickly put away his magic and looked carefully with his own eyesight.

After all, she was a woman, so Lin Junrong quickly found the problem: "Elder Zheng, look, is there something wrong over there?"

Zheng Yi looked in the direction where Lin Junrong had discovered it, although he couldn't see anything specific because it was too far away.

However, there are always cultivators from Qingzhu Mountain who disappear without a trace at that location and then suddenly appear again.

And because they can observe the entire battlefield.

From a global perspective, it is quite obvious.

The monks of Qingzhu Mountain seemed to be slowly rotating in the direction of the sundial.

Although the number of monks who disappeared each time was not particularly large, it was extremely difficult for Zheng Yi, who was outside the battlefield, to find them, let alone the two sides who were fighting.

Fortunately, Lin Junrong was there, otherwise Zheng Yi would probably have to spend an extra hour or two to discover the problem.

"Be careful to hide your breath. Let's go over and take a look at the situation first." Zheng Yi decisively took Lin Junrong and moved towards the strange location.

In order to avoid being discovered, both of them restrained their breathing and moved in the forest, hiding behind the trees.

Not long after walking out, Lin Junrong suddenly stopped and pointed to his right to send a message to Zheng Yi: "There is someone over there."

Zheng Yi originally wanted to go around them, but then he thought again, since these people had also sneaked in quietly, maybe they were his own people?
The two of them quietly lurked towards the people whose traces were discovered by Lin Junrong.

When he got closer, he realized that he had actually met these guys before.

There were four people in total.

Qiu Ming from Chibishan, Jiang He from Yinxin Valley, Qian Wanrong from Wanqitang, and a casual cultivator named Zhang Hua.

These people had rescued Xingxiuhai’s disciples before, and Lin Junrong had also seen them.

Just as he was about to go over to greet him, he was stopped by Zheng Yi again.

Zheng Yi shook his head slightly and sent a message to Lin Junrong: "Let's see what happens first."

Although these people are all acquaintances, they have also helped Xingxiu Hai before.

But it is too early to judge whether it is an enemy or a friend.

Several people complained as they walked.

"Brother Jiang, why don't we just go over and help? Why do we have to sneak over there?"

"I also think this will take too much time. By the time we get there, the fight might have already been over."

Jiang He held a folding fan in his hand and glared at Jin Xing unhappily: "Brother Zhang told me that the people who attacked Xingxiu Sea were from Qingzhu Mountain. They must have made sufficient preparations to dare to attack Xingxiu Sea."

"With our strength, if we rashly go over to help, I'm afraid we won't even be cannon fodder."

Qian Wanrong muttered, "If that's the case, why should we join in the fun? It would be better to just notify the sect and have them send experts to support us."

Jiang He smiled helplessly: "Our sects are all far away from Xingxiu Sea. Plus the time we notified them, I'm afraid the elders won't be able to make it in time."

Zhang Hua chuckled and said, "In fact, I don't think there is any need to inform your sect. Xingxiuhai is not one of those weak sects. In addition, we have recently obtained Mr. Zheng's skills, and our strength has increased significantly."

"On their own, I don't think they are a match for Xingxiu Sea. If we go there, we will just be the icing on the cake."

The other three rolled their eyes.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Qiu Ming snorted coldly: "If that's the case, then there's no need for us to come all the way here to support Xingxiu Sea?"

Zhang Hua smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qiu is wrong. We come to help Xingxiu Sea for the safety of all mankind and for the righteousness of the world. We can't just not help if there is no benefit, right?"

Qian Wanrong chuckled: "Brother Zhang is indeed good at talking. It's a pity that I am just an ordinary person. I just hope that Xingxiuhai can pay me enough for my hard work."

Jiang He said unhappily, "Brother Qian, what do you have to worry about? Last time we helped Xingxiuhai rescue their disciples, they didn't treat us unfairly, so there will definitely be no problem this time."

"That's right!" Zhang Hua laughed and said, "We just need to do our best. I think as long as people are here, that's better than anything else."

As he spoke, he winked at a few people, looking like a man who understood everything.

Several people chuckled at the same time.

Just as they laughed, a cold voice rang out: "Kill him, don't give him a chance."

The next moment, a line of blood swept across Zhang Hua's neck. Before he could even use his internal energy to resist, he froze.

A thin blood line appeared on the neck, and blood oozed out.

Then, blood gushed out like a fountain, sending Zhang Hua's head flying into the air.

Until the head fell to the ground, Zhang Hua still had a puzzled expression on his face. He didn't know why someone would suddenly attack him and kill him with the first blow.

The sound of the head falling to the ground also woke up Jiang He and the other two.

Their eyes were red and they were gritting their teeth and roaring.

"Who are you? How dare you kill our companions!"

"Kill them and avenge Zhang Hua."

"Zhang Hua..."

However, when they saw the person's face clearly, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

"Lin... Elder Lin?" Jiang He said in disbelief. (End of this chapter)
