Chapter 1177

Yuan Shansu's voice fell into everyone's ears.

They looked at each other, and each had their own judgment in their hearts.

But regardless, Xu Qing understood one thing in his heart, which was that since he had integrated into this Fifth Star Ring and obtained resources for his own growth within it, then...

He had to follow the rules of this Fifth Star Ring.

Since he was both a logistics envoy and a transport envoy, having come to this battlefield, he had to complete the mission.

It was just that understanding the changes on the battlefield more would make the mission go more smoothly, and besides... it would allow him to better protect himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing spoke slowly.

"Stay vigilant, divide into several squads, move at intervals, and arrange scouts to call out to each other at all times."

"Specifically, Zhou Zhengli, you handle the coordination."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhengli immediately agreed. Since he had a deeper understanding of the squad members than Xu Qing, under his arrangement, the eighty-plus people were quickly divided into five parts.

They formed battle formations.

He also arranged for more than ten cultivators with advantages in concealment and speed to disperse to the front, back, left, and right, closely monitoring all changes in the surroundings.

Subsequently, Fu Xie You Lingzi and the others took out their respective treasures to shroud everyone's aura. Xu Qing also took out a banner to cover the surroundings, allowing their group to hide their tracks to the greatest extent.

After doing this, the group began to move forward.

And their caution was rewarded on the journey that followed.

Half a month passed in a flash.

Overall, the journey and the multiple teleports during this half month were quite smooth. They discovered some unknown or suspicious areas in advance and chose to detour around them.

At the same time, in terms of concealment, with the continuous reinforcement along the way, they became increasingly secure.

And on the way, Xu Qing also saw Dao Banners!

Because the area they were in was the rear of the left wing of the overall battlefield, belonging to the cultivator camp's range, a Dao Banner existed in every universe.

Its shape was an altar the size of a star, and a silver battle flag hung in the air above the altar.

That battle flag was the Dao Banner of the Fifth Star Ring.

The immortal spirit aura within it was extremely rich and erupted at all times.

Emitting a suppressive might that made all living beings feel trembling.

With the Dao Banner present, the immortal spirit aura of the belonging universe would exist continuously, endless, and heterodoxy could not invade it in the slightest. Everything belonging to the gods would be suppressed in the place of the Dao Banner.

Therefore, there were quite a few cultivators stationed around the Dao Banner.

And as Xu Qing and the others walked along, passing through hundreds of universes, the Dao Banners they directly saw and indirectly sensed were also in the hundreds.

Some were large and some were small, determined by the range they suppressed.

In addition, this Dao Banner had another function, which was to allow the cultivator armies to maintain smooth contact with each other, ensuring unimpeded communication.

Thus, as Xu Qing's group moved forward, Zhou Zhengli took on the role of communication, contacting the outside world, mainly connecting with other squads that had the same transport mission as them.

Just like that, time passed again, and another half month went by.

As they continued to move forward, after Xu Qing and the others had traversed several universes like looking at flowers from horseback, they traveled from the rear of the left-wing war zone to the central area of the left-wing war zone.

If they walked through this area composed of hundreds of universes, they could reach their destination, which was the front line of the left-wing war zone.

However, in this central part of the left-wing war zone, the sense of excitement emitted by Fu Xie You Lingzi's broken sword and the concentration of heterodoxy that Xu Qing had probed were both much higher than before.

Especially now, as everyone was speeding along silently, Zhou Zhengli's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately transmitted his voice.

"My Lord, a transport squad I had contacted before has lost its traces in this central part of the war zone... Either their external contact has been inexplicably cut off, or... they have encountered a life-and-death crisis!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone's hearts became increasingly heavy.

"The bait has worked; there are fish on the hook."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. Without needing to give an order, this group of people became even more cautious in their subsequent actions. Whether it was reducing the fluctuations of spiritual power, increasing the distance between each other, or the overall concealment, they achieved the extreme.

Especially before and after each teleport, this vigilance would be even greater.

Sometimes, if they sensed something wrong, they would rather choose other teleportation arrays, even if it meant a detour, without hesitation.

And their respective cultivation bases were also circulating within their bodies, maintaining a state where they could explode with peak power at any time.

Until a month passed.

Although up to now, perhaps it was luck, or perhaps it was the effect of their caution and concealment that kept them smooth, the external information obtained from Zhou Zhengli's side was frequently critical.

Of the hundreds of squads transporting this time, almost half had encountered enemy attacks!

Some squads didn't even have time to pass on information before they were instantly wiped out.

Others, although they could persist and call for help, the final outcome... was also unknown.

However, the identity of the attacking side had also become clear.

Naturally, it was the gods!

But not from the front line, but rather dark pieces arranged by the god side, who had used various methods to hide in the left-wing war zone!

They had originally hidden very well and didn't need to be exposed.

But now, for some unknown reason, they took the initiative to attack, and the targets were precisely those transport squads.

Like a dark net, it shrouded the entire central part of the left-wing war zone.

Xu Qing's group, even though they were extremely cautious, after months of safety, still encountered gods on this day.

The first to notice the abnormality was the scout on the right side of the squad, Fu Xie You Lingzi.

Fu Xie You Lingzi's own cultivation base was already at the peak of the Sovereign realm, only a thread away from the Quasi-Immortal realm. However, relying on his broken sword, he was confident in fighting a Quasi-Immortal.

At the same time, he also had some puppet methods. Now he was not alone, and two puppets were following by his side.

So it was naturally more secure for him to be responsible for the scout on the right.

And his broken sword had a mysterious origin, and the life-and-death karma inseparable from Fu Xie You Lingzi seemed to be contained within it. Therefore, the extreme excitement from the broken sword at that moment made Fu Xie You Lingzi's whole body tremble.

Without any hesitation, he retreated abruptly.

Almost the moment he retreated, waves of divine auras tore through the void from there, appearing out of thin air. The moment they appeared, they directly erupted with heaven-shaking might.

Forming an overwhelming storm, with an unstoppable momentum, rolling with thick heterodoxy and divine might, they killed their way over.

The two puppets following Fu Xie You Lingzi, although they also tried their best to avoid it, also erupted with their full strength.

But facing the surprise attack from the god side, they were still unable to resist.

In just an instant, their whole bodies shook, their entire bodies withered, and their forms and spirits were destroyed.

As for Fu Xie You Lingzi, he spat out seven or eight mouthfuls of blood, and relying on the broken sword in his hand, he barely avoided the first wave of shattering from the gods.

Now, while retreating, his pupils contracted, and he immediately sent a message to Zhou Zhengli.

"Encountered gods, seven Divine Platforms, twenty-three Flawless!"

The moment the voice was transmitted, Fu Xie You Lingzi retreated rapidly, and behind him, as the heterodoxy rolled, terrifying divine fluctuations were also erupting, forming a vast momentum, suddenly rolling towards him.

Seeing that he was about to be swallowed.

Fu Xie You Lingzi's eyes were blood-red, a life-and-death crisis.

The next instant, a figure, at a speed invisible to the naked eye, appeared behind Fu Xie You Lingzi, grabbed his shoulder, and pulled him backward abruptly.

Pulling him directly out of that engulfment, and then the person raised his left hand and pressed it against the surging divine storm in front.

"Suppress!"

With one word spoken, the Space-Time Constitution roared over, and universes stacked upon universes appeared layer by layer, forming space-time suppression.

Blocking the divine storm.

After touching each other for an instant, violent fluctuations erupted rapidly, and the resulting impact swept in all directions, while the person who arrived stood tall and motionless. As for the divine storm, it shattered into pieces while trembling.

Revealing thirty gods inside, each with different shapes, but all containing terrifying divine power.

Their eyes were all locked onto the person in front.

This person had long hair, a black robe, and a beautiful face that surpassed the light of the stars. Now standing there, an aura infinitely close to a Lower Immortal rose from his body.

This aura made all the Flawless ones have fluctuations in their divine hearts, and even those seven Divine Platforms had golden light shining in their eyes.

At the same time, behind Xu Qing, whistling sounds came.

Order chains instantly shrouded all directions, and Xing Huanzi stepped on the chains and arrived.

Giant trees grew on their own in this starry sky, as if they were about to turn into an endless jungle. On one of the giant trees, Yuan Shansu stood with cold eyes.

There was also a huge eye that appeared in the starry sky, gazing at this place.

In this eye, Zhou Zhengli sat cross-legged.

At the same time, poison was spreading, and killing intent was also diffusing.

There were also the different Constitutions of other ascenders, blending together to form pressure.

Further out, a huge piece of seaweed had completely stretched its body, forming a blockade.

It didn't look like the gods were launching a surprise attack, but more like Xu Qing's group was hunting the gods!

So very quickly, the seaweed contracted on a large scale, the ascenders inside used their respective trump cards, and Xing Huanzi and the others also fought with all their might without holding back.

Accompanied by the whistling of the Thousand-Army-Clearing sword qi, those gods all felt their minds shake.

Especially the strange eye formed by Zhou Zhengli's Constitution, which seemed to predict the attacks and divine rights of these gods, forming interference and letting everyone know at all times, making those gods even more turbulent.

And what made their divine souls shake the most was Xu Qing!

His bell could forbid everything.

His iron skewers, wherever they passed, would surely see gods fall!

And the layers of space-time around him also had the intent of the heavens, shocking everything.

Just like that, after an incense stick of time, when the seaweed opened from its wrapped state, Xu Qing and the others walked out one after another. As for the gods who had launched the surprise attack on them here... they had already disappeared.

But if one were to sense carefully, one could find that the auras of these people had all increased to varying degrees.

As if they had just had a big supplement.

"Sure enough, living and healthy gods have the most delicious and rich source matter."

Li Mengtu licked his lips.

"But it's a pity that the war situation here is unknown. If we are too dazzling, it's inevitable that we will be focused on by the god side..."

Fu Xie You Lingzi's injuries had already recovered, and now he was also feeling regretful.

Yuan Shansu was thoughtful, and Thousand-Army-Clearing was eager to try.

But Xing Huanzi was expressionless.

As for Zhou Zhengli, he shook his head.

"That's because the Lord is present, so we are this relaxed. However, just now in my prediction, I knew that the leader of this surprise attack by the gods was a True God, and there were also some peak Divine Platforms."

"If we encounter..."

Li Mengtu stopped talking.

Xu Qing looked at them calmly and spoke lightly.

"Same as before, maintain caution and concealment, and continue moving forward!"
