Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

"Let's go check out the situation."

Ning Qi spoke up.

"Okay, let's go!"

After Zhao Shilin agreed, he continued to lead everyone on their journey.

They crossed two streets and then arrived at the entrance of a restaurant.

"Please come in, sir."

As soon as I arrived at the door, a waiter came over to greet me.

"it is good."

Zhao Shilin agreed and then led everyone directly to the restaurant.

After passing through the lobby, they went directly to the backyard.

"Call Wang Xiao here."

One of them gave instructions to the waiter.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

The man quickly agreed and then hurriedly left.

After he left, Zhao Shilin led his men to the main room in the backyard.

As soon as Ning Qi walked in, he could tell at a glance that this was a council chamber.

After Zhao Shilin arrived, he went straight to the main seat and stood there, while also giving Ning Qi a look.

Ning Qi immediately understood and walked over to the front and back, taking his seat in the main position.

After a short while, the waiter led in a burly middle-aged man.

"Your subordinate greets Commander Lei."

After the middle-aged man entered, he respectfully stepped forward and bowed.

"Wang Xiao, what's the situation with the Holy Maiden of the Zixiao Sect? Has the investigation been completed?"

Zhao Shilin spoke first, while secretly giving Ning Qi a wink.

Ning Qi understood once again.

His meaning was clear: no one here knew the truth.

In other words, they don't need to know.

"Commander Zhao, the investigation is complete."

Wang Xiao quickly agreed: "She has been staying in the Zixiao Sect's residence for the past two days, especially tonight; our people haven't seen her come out yet."

"Hmm, have your people made arrangements?"

Ning Qi then asked.

Zhao Shilin stood aside, feeling relieved.

The question Ning Qi asked was exactly the question he wanted to ask.

"Everything is ready; they are all Deadpools we have carefully selected."

"As long as we are ready to act, we will be able to deal them a heavy blow in the first instance."

Wang Xiao nodded, revealing a confident expression.

"Okay, let's make our move at midnight tonight."

"He sent word to them, telling them to prepare."

"Don't reveal yourself."

Zhao Shilin smiled with satisfaction and then said, "This time, Commander Lei is personally taking action. Don't make any mistakes, understand?"

"clear."

Wang Xiao said solemnly, "Then I will make the arrangements immediately."

"Well, let's go."

"Let them prepare a sumptuous lunch so we can have a good meal."

Zhao Shilin made the arrangements again.

"Yes."

After Wang Xiao agreed, he left immediately.

"Young Master Ning, everything has been arranged."

"We will make our move at midnight tonight."

After Zhao Shilin and the others left, he spoke in a low voice.

"So, have you reached an agreement with Brother Lei?"

Ning Qi frowned and asked after hearing what he said.

After all, it was their own decision that they made here.

“Young Master Ning, we already discussed it a long time ago. They will make their move half an hour earlier than planned.”

"They will receive the message then, and someone will go out to provide support."

“Give us an opportunity to deal with the saintess.”

Zhao Shilin nodded and said in a deep voice, "We have been planning this for a long time, there won't be any mistakes."

"That's good."

Ning Qi nodded, then continued, "Let's go then, let's go to the private room and wait to taste the delicious food here."

"Young Master Ning, please."

Zhao Shilin stepped down first and politely invited him.

"please."

Ning Qi also got up.

They then continued forward and left the main room.

After they left, they went straight back to the front hall of the inn.

The waiter led them to a private room facing the street.

Not long after they sat down, the waiters began to bring up the food one after another.

The group began to savor the delicious food at the restaurant.

"Commander Zhao, what are your plans for when we make our move later?"

After tasting it for a while, Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Young Master Ning, there is a master here, the one who protects the Holy Maiden."

"He has the strength of a fifth-grade Celestial Immortal, and his name is Wang Meng."

"If he is here and wants to make a move, please stop him."

"If we can hold him off, we'll have a chance to succeed."

Zhao Shilin looked at Ning Qi and said in a deep voice, "This shouldn't be difficult for you."

"Okay, then the rest is up to you."

Ning Qi didn't object after hearing what he said.

He also knew very well that Lei Shan must have already told them about his strength.

That's why they made arrangements so early on.

If you entrust the most capable people to yourself, then the rest will be insignificant.

"Master, I didn't expect them to know you so well."

The spirit medicine, residing in his dantian, began to speak with a smile.

“We had already taken action before we even went in.”

"They know my capabilities, so it's not surprising at all."

Ning Qi responded to Yao Ling through his thoughts.

"That's right. We were lucky to have kept our momentum in check, otherwise they would have known our true strength."

Yao Ling sighed upon hearing his words.

"Young Master Ning, come here."

"Let's drink to the success of our operation!"

At this moment, Zhao Shilin raised his wine glass and invited him to drink.

"Okay, cheers!"

Ning Qi readily agreed and raised his glass.

"cheers."

"Done."

"..."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it down.

"Commander Zhao, you must have prepared a backup plan. If they were prepared, we can't afford to be caught off guard."

Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked.

"That's right, we were prepared a long time ago."

"Even if something unexpected happens, we can handle it."

Zhao Shilin nodded and said in a low voice, "Originally, our Commander Lei was thinking of dealing with their Holy Maiden."

As he spoke, he revealed a wicked smile.

Ning Qi understood at a glance.

"Yes, that would be a huge embarrassment for them."

One of the guards chimed in.

“That’s right, Young Master Ning, this matter must now be entrusted to you.”

Zhao Shilin nodded, then continued, "It is said that this Holy Maiden is also a cultivator with a sacred body. As long as you cultivate with her, your strength will increase by leaps and bounds."

"It's said that it's even possible to break through a major realm directly."

"Oh? You broke through a whole realm directly?"

"How is that possible?"

Ning Qi couldn't help but become curious after hearing his words. He never expected that there were people with this kind of constitution.

“Master, there seem to be people with this ability, but they are all from the Immortal Realm.”

"In other words, only people of the Immortal Clan can have this physique. This is the first time I've heard of ordinary people having it."

Yao Ling began to analyze within his dantian: "Unless, this is a member of the immortal race who has fallen to the mortal realm, or a branch of the immortal race."

"Hmm, that's possible."

Ning Qi responded.

"Young Master Ning, if you're interested, you could give it a try."

Seeing Ning Qi frowning in thought, Zhao Shilin smiled and said...

"If that's the case, then it's not impossible."

Ning Qi became interested after hearing what he said.

However, he only said it casually and didn't actually intend to do it.

He disdained the idea of ​​gaining strength by harming others.

"Young Master Ning, you can take this sleeping potion."

"If there is an opportunity, we can use it on Wang Meng. Just a little bit of it will be enough to render him unable to fight."

Zhao Shilin then took out a packet of medicinal powder and handed it to Ning Qi.

"Oh, is there such a strong sleeping potion?"

Ning Qi, holding the medicine packet, asked curiously.

"If it was made by someone else, then it's uncertain."

"However, this was made by Elder Li, so it's definitely effective!"

Zhao Shilin nodded and said seriously, "Just one packet is enough to keep him from losing his fighting ability for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea."

"Okay, I'll give it a try if needed."

Ning Qi didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the medicine packet directly.

"Come on, let's drink to tonight's mission!"

Seeing that Ning Qi had accepted the money, Zhao Shilin reported the matter again.

"Dry!"

"..."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

"Commander Zhao, it's still early before nightfall, I'll go and take a look around the city."

After they had all eaten and drunk their fill, Ning Qi suddenly spoke.

"Oh, then should I send someone with you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Shilin asked.

"No need, I'll be back before the operation."

Ning Qi shook his head, declining his offer.

"Alright, then Young Master Ning, be careful. There are their people everywhere here."

"Don't expose us, or we'll be in a very passive position."

Zhao Shilin nodded, but showed no intention of sending anyone to accompany him out.

"Alright, then I'll take my leave now. Please continue."

After Ning Qi agreed, he got up and left the private room.

After he left, his men all looked worried.

"Commander Zhao, do you think he can be relied upon?"

One of them couldn't help but ask first.

After he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to him, waiting for him to answer their questions.

"Don't worry, he's in the same boat as us, there won't be any problems!"

Zhao Shilin smiled and then continued, "Moreover, he can make our clan even stronger, so you must not have any ulterior motives."

"I heard from Commander Lei that our patriarch still intends for him to marry the young lady."

"I see."

"No wonder Commander Lei treats him with such respect."

"..."

Several people echoed this sentiment.

"Alright, stop thinking too much, let's drink!"

"We must go all out tonight and not fail again!"

Zhao Shilin raised his glass again, inviting everyone to a toast.

"Yes!"

"Commander Zhao, just you wait and see."

The group raised their glasses again and then drank them down in one gulp.

While they were upstairs drinking and chatting, Ning Qi had already come downstairs.

After he went out, he first looked around at the situation on the street.

"Master, where are we going?"

The medicinal spirit had already appeared in his dantian and asked curiously from his shoulder.

"Let's find a secluded spot. I need to contact Miss Xu."

Ning Qi looked around and then said, "If Zhao Shilin didn't have anyone watching us, then things are much easier."

"Okay, so where should we go?"

Hearing this, Yao Ling felt relieved and couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, it's a place with fewer people."

Ning Qi looked around and then said, "Let's go and see what's going on ahead."

"it is good!"

The spirit agreed and then began to look around on his shoulder.

I want to find a quiet place.

Ning Qi followed and continued walking forward, where people came and went along the way.

It's clear that this place is very lively, with shops doing business everywhere along the streets.

Disciples from other sects also pass through here from time to time.

"Master, what do you think of the area ahead?"

Yao Ling suddenly pointed to the lake in front of them and said, "Let's get on a boat, then no one will bother us."

"That's right! Let's go!"

Ning Qi looked in that direction and saw that there were indeed some ships ahead.

Clearly, these are all prepared for people with leisure time and refined tastes.

He quickly reached the lake, rented a boat from the boatman, and rowed away.

He rowed alone to the middle of the lake, where finally there was no one else around.

So he activated his jade pendant and then contacted Xu Qingqiu.

After a fleeting, illusory image, Xu Qingqiu appeared before him.

"Ning Qi? What happened to you?"

Xu Qingqiu saw his appearance through his illusory figure.

"I have already infiltrated the demon race, and now I'm disguised as one of them to avoid being discovered."

Ning Qi looked at Xu Qingqiu and then asked, "How are you all doing?"

"I have brought my master and the others here, but we have searched for a while and still haven't found the demon's stronghold."

"Ning Qi, have you found it yet? Where is it?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi and asked repeatedly.

"I found it, that's right."

"However, they were all wary of me and didn't let me know where they were at all."

"I've been teleported to a safe place, but I don't know exactly where."

Ning Qi shrugged and then said, "So I can only wait and see how things go."

He did not tell Xu Qingqiu the truth about his situation, nor did he mention the actions they were about to take.

"Master, should we keep this from Miss Xu?"

Yao Ling couldn't listen anymore: "Why not tell her the truth?"

"Don't interrupt."

Ning Qi gave a reprimand.

"Oh, that's a pity, we've already arrived."

"But this is much better, at least we are prepared."

Xu Qingqiu looked somewhat disappointed after hearing Ning Qi's words, and then said, "Then you must be careful. If they find out, it will be troublesome."

"Don't worry about that, there's no way they'll find me."

Ning Qi said with a smile, "I've already disguised myself as one of them."

"Alright, remember to let me know if anything happens!"

"We are fully prepared. As soon as they make a move, we will wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Ning Qi and then said, "You must be careful."

"Don't worry, I'll let you know if I have any news!"

"You should also be careful; I heard they're preparing to take action."

Ning Qi also offered a reminder. (End of Chapter)
