Chapter 305 The Hidden Sect's Base

"Xu Ning."

Just as Xu Ning was about to board the ship, a woman's voice came from behind him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning knew it was Yu Qiao.

"Senior Sister Yu."

Xu Ning stopped and greeted him.

"Although we weren't assigned to the same ship this time, the fleet is heading to the same destination. When the time comes to actually fight the Hidden Clans, we can join forces."

Yu Qiao said.

"Um……"

Xu Ning gave a perfunctory answer.

Before setting sail, all the disciples already knew that the Sanyin Sect had three overseas headquarters.

The imperial army will be divided into three groups and sent to three different destinations.

After a brief exchange with Yu Qiao, Xu Ning boarded the warship.

"The imperial soldiers on board are no ordinary soldiers..."

As soon as he boarded the ship, Xu Ning could feel an intense fighting spirit emanating from the entire crew.

"The soldiers responsible for wiping out the Hidden Sect are all seasoned veterans..."

Xu Ning thought to himself.

He discovered that there were more than one hundred soldiers on a warship.

Each of them is a Grandmaster of the Dao Realm.

Dao Realm Grandmasters are terrifying in themselves, and these Dao Realm troops also have their own battle formations and combined attack techniques.

When multiple people work together, they can also achieve kills against opponents of higher levels.

It can be said that these troops were the absolute elite of the imperial court.

While Xu Ning was observing the soldiers, the soldiers were also observing Xu Ning.

They all knew that the core disciples of the San Yin Sect were in charge of this smuggling operation.

Most of these core disciples are high-level Dao Realm Grandmasters, who will play a powerful role in key battles and guarantee their combat strength.

"Brother, what's your name?"

As Xu Ning stepped onto the deck, he was greeted by a burly man clad in heavy armor.

"A Grandmaster of the Initial Origin Realm..."

Xu Ning sensed his true strength.

Upon seeing the man's attire, Xu Ning knew that this man was the commander of the warship.

Subsequent battle command, and even Xu Ning's actions, will be arranged by this person.

After all, in this operation, the seeds of the Danhai Demon Sect were used as auxiliary and coordinating forces to play a vanguard role.

"Xu Ning."

Xu Ning also clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"So it's Brother Xu."

The heavily armored man laughed heartily: "I am Tong Gang, in charge of all matters on this ship. I hope Brother Xu will cooperate with me in the following operations."

Tong Gang was very polite.

He was well aware that none of these seeds of the Danhai Demon Sect were simple characters.

From the first moment Tong Gang saw Xu Ning, he felt that Xu Ning was unfathomable.

"Brother Tong, you're too kind. I'm always at your service."

Xu Ning responded by clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Just then, another person boarded the ship.

The newcomer was a muscular man wearing a sleeveless shirt. He had bronze skin, and his exposed arms were muscular, exuding a capable and fierce aura.

"My name is Feng Qi, and I greet you both."

This man named Feng Qi is also a seed of the Danhai Demon Sect.

Each warship carries two seed members of the Danhai Demon Sect.

Xu Ning and Feng Qi were assigned to this warship.

After Feng Qi introduced himself, Xu Ning and Tong Gang also introduced themselves.

"Junior Brother Xu's name has been making quite a splash lately."

After Xu Ning introduced himself, Feng Qi said with a smile.

Xu Ning's name has recently spread throughout the Danhai Demon Sect, and Feng Qi had also heard of him long ago.

Feng Qi had seen Xu Ning from afar when the seeds were gathering at the Heart of the Island Peak.

However, the two had no prior acquaintance at the time, so Feng Qi did not have any interaction with Xu Ning.

"Senior Brother Feng, you flatter me."

Xu Ning responded casually.

This made Tong Gang's eyes twitch.

"This Xu Ning seems to be a formidable figure among the seedlings of the Danhai Demon Sect..."

Tong Gang muttered to himself.

When he first met Xu Ning, he felt that Xu Ning was not simple, and Feng Qi's words confirmed his thoughts.

"Please wait on the deck for now. We will depart as a group once we receive the unified command."

Tong Gang said to the two of them.

Shortly after boarding the warship, about 15 minutes later, everything was ready.

At a command, more than sixty warships set sail simultaneously, divided into three waves, heading majestically towards the open sea.

After sailing for about a hundred kilometers, the three groups of ships began to diverge and sail separately.

These three groups of ships each had a different destination.

Xu Ning's fleet of warships was heading southeast.

This fleet consists of more than twenty warships. Xu Ning's ship is an ordinary warship. In addition, there is a lead warship and a central warship.

The lead warship was responsible for guiding the way, while the center warship was surrounded by ordinary warships.

On that central warship was the core commander of the fleet.

The highest-ranking official in charge was a general of the imperial court, whose strength was said to be at the ninth level of the Dao Realm.

Yu Qiao was assigned to the central warship.

Meanwhile, on that core warship, there was also a clone of Mo Yu, responsible for handling communication between Wansheng Prefecture's local forces and the fleet sailing out to sea.

"This expedition to quell the reclusive sects at sea will likely take quite some time."

On the warship where Xu Ning was, Tong Gang said to Feng Qi and Xu Ning, "Even if everything goes smoothly, it will still take us more than four months to reach our destination."

"A period of more than four months, that's indeed quite a distance..."

Xu Ning sensed the speed of the warship's movement and thought to himself.

Although the fleet consisted of more than twenty warships, which was quite large, it moved at an extremely fast speed.

Even at sea, its speed is comparable to the maximum speed of a flying demon beast at the initial stage of the Dao Realm.

"Four months..."

Feng Qi pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Tong, there's something I don't understand."

"Speaking."

Tong Gang gestured for Feng Qi to ask whatever he wanted.

"It is said that we were able to find out the location of the Sanyin Sect's headquarters because we had informants within the sect."

Feng Qi asked, "But similarly, some of the San Yin Sect's forces have also infiltrated Wansheng Prefecture. Wouldn't our large-scale expedition to the San Yin Sect's base prematurely expose our presence?"

"Now that their whereabouts have been exposed, can't they just move to a different location at any time after arriving at their destination, leaving us empty-handed?"

Feng Qi's confusion was also Xu Ning's previous doubt.

Even though Feng Qi didn't ask, Xu Ning still wanted to find out the reason.

Upon hearing this, Tong Gang patiently explained, "There's absolutely no need to worry about this."

"The Sanyin Sect chose its headquarters location overseas, where the geographical conditions and martial arts environment are excellent. It is said that the concentration of spiritual energy there is comparable to that of Wansheng Prefecture."

"Under these circumstances, even if they receive news that we are going to attack, it is impossible for them to relocate on a large scale. Because once they relocate, they will be forced to go to places with sparse spiritual energy, which is simply unacceptable to them."

"Besides that, there is another reason. The headquarters of this Hidden Sect is extremely large. They have been searching for people overseas and forcibly relocating them, which has created a densely populated area."

"Considering all factors, even if they wanted to relocate, they would face a very complicated situation."

"and……"

At this point, Tong Gang paused, a confident smile playing on his lips: "Even if they relocate, our people planted within the Hidden Sect will still relay the news, and we can change our route at any time to pursue them!"

"We've brought a massive amount of supplies on this voyage, ensuring we can unleash our full strength even in places with scarce spiritual energy. While the San Yin Sect may have many experts, their resource reserves are nowhere near ours."

"I see……"

Xu Ning and Feng Qi exchanged a glance and nodded silently.

Their previous worries were completely unnecessary; the imperial court had already taken these into consideration.

Afterwards, Xu Ning and Feng Qi had a long chat with Tong Gang, gaining a better understanding of the details of this sea voyage.

And so the fleet continued its voyage.

More than three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three months, Xu Ning stayed on the ship, passing the time by refining pills.

Tong Gang and Feng Qi, on the other hand, devoted all their time to cultivation.

Both of them, like Xu Ning, were at the initial stage of the seventh level of the Dao Realm.

Although, in comparison, their strength is certainly far inferior to Xu Ning's.

This day.

Tong Gang received the message from the central warship, so he summoned Xu Ning and Feng Qi and gathered them together.

"Brothers, news has come from the spies of the Hidden Sect."

Tong Gang said, "Just as we guessed before, the San Yin Sect did not relocate its base, but only transferred some disciples with good potential. Not many core members left."

"I see..."

Xu Ning and Feng Qi nodded at the same time.

This means that what they will be doing next is a tough battle.

"However, upon learning that we were about to approach and attack them, the San Yin Sect members were also prepared and made arrangements. In other words, we will be facing the San Yin Sect members who are already in a state of combat readiness. Therefore, this operation will certainly not be easy."

Tong Gang did not hide the danger of the operation, but informed the two men so that they could have some mental preparation.

"In addition, they may also ambush us on the way. We need to be careful and highly vigilant with the central warship at all times."

Tong Gang offered another reminder.

"I was prepared long ago, and I really wanted to see just how powerful the Hidden Sect really was."

Feng Qi said, a genuine fighting spirit appearing in his eyes.

Although the San Yin Sect had a long-standing reputation, Feng Qi, unlike Xu Ning, had never had the experience of fighting against members of the San Yin Sect before, and therefore could not directly feel their power.

Upon hearing this, Tong Gang laughed loudly: "Then we'll have to rely on the two of you then."

"That's natural."

Fengqi responded.

Xu Ning nodded as well.

However, although Tong Gang said that, Xu Ning did not really think that he and Feng Qi were the main fighting force in Tong Gang's eyes.

During these three months, Xu Ning also learned some information from the exchanges between Tong Gang and Tong Gang.

Besides a powerful military force, the imperial fleet that set sail this time seems to have other trump cards up its sleeve.

However, it is still unknown what that method is.
