Chapter 419

But if it really was Cao Feng who connected to his territory, Zhao Chi would beat the shit out of him.

It wouldn't be him.

Then the most likely possibility was the nobleman who had been chasing him that day.

Having slipped away from the nobleman's side — to them, perhaps, this was a terrible disgrace?

But how did they know his coordinates?

And how did they discover that Gu Qing was him?

Zhao Chi had many questions in his heart.

But thinking about this sort of thing on his own would get him nowhere.

First he had to confirm who the enemy was, then determine their troop strength.

If he couldn't win, Zhao Chi would simply return to the Greater World.

Of course, bringing Gu Qing and the others back with him.

The best-case scenario would be for Zhao Chi to use body control and take them out one by one, perfectly.

But that would definitely not be in time.

Then he could only forcibly summon them in the Greater World.

But summoning all 221 people at once would be treated as rebellion, and would be very troublesome.

Damn it.

If he could fight, he'd fight as best he could.

Anyway, these Taoyuan women could revive — in less than a month they'd burrow back up out of the ground, though it would cost ten years of lifespan.

That price was nothing to speak of.

Once his mind was made up, Zhao Chi's heart steadied a little.

Piloting Qi Yue, with Gu Qing in tow, he sped southwest.

Southwest.

A massive white fog wall had been forcibly connected.

A huge passage had already appeared, at least a hundred meters wide.

On the other side of the passage was a stretch of pitch-black, vast territory, impossible to make out clearly.

Soon, some figures emerged from the passage.

More and more figures appeared, gathering to a total of roughly four hundred.

It was now close to ten at night, and the surroundings were pitch dark — especially after entering the woods, where the moonlight was blocked by the branches, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

But those people carried no lighting equipment at all.

It seemed they could see clearly even in this darkness.

They swept their gaze over the surroundings with pairs of red eyes.

Among them, one pair of eyes was especially red and bright.

It belonged to a middle-aged man in black armor.

He looked the picture of composure.

"Lord Zhao Ji, there are no traps nearby. We can advance."

The middle-aged man said softly.

"Of course. This territory is very weak — how could they possibly set traps all along the border? Relax a little. Move out."

A young man in golden armor said, slightly contemptuous.

His complexion was fair, his features handsome.

Very young.

From his looks and attire, he was a young nobleman.

"Lord Zhao Ji, please don't be careless. That woman escaped right under our noses — her speed was extreme, no ordinary person could have that kind of strength. That woman is almost certainly from the Resistance."

"Nonsense. If she weren't Resistance, what would I be here for? Lead the way, Li Yan, stop nagging."

Li Yan hesitated a moment, but still said:

"Lord Zhao Ji, shouldn't we call for more people? After all, you've only just become a lord — this isn't the time to show off…"

Zhao Ji paused, then slowly turned around.

His expression clearly showed anger.

"What the fuck did you just say? That's going too far, isn't it?"

Li Yan hurriedly explained:

"That's not what I meant. I mean the Resistance has all kinds of Xie Sect skills — if it's just the two of us, I'm afraid there's risk. Better to call more people, it'll be safer, and you'd still get the first credit. If something happened to you, everything would be over."

Zhao Ji gave a cold laugh:

"Didn't you see when you connected here? This territory is nothing but a medium-sized village — its military index is less than 20 points. Tell me, how could anything happen to me?"

Li Yan said, "Lord Zhao Ji, don't misunderstand — I just want to make sure you're absolutely safe…"

Zhao Ji gave a cold laugh. "Li Yan, what's gotten into you today? When I've attacked other territories before, I never saw you like this. Could it be that you're in contact with the Resistance?"

At those words, Li Yan nearly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Lord Zhao Ji, you can't just say things like that. I have absolutely no contact with the Resistance. Before, the ones you attacked were all ordinary civilians — looking at the territory index alone, there really was no problem. But this territory now might be Resistance, so we have to be more cautious."

"Enough. I know you have nothing to do with the Resistance. Just tell me — is our win rate over eighty percent?"

"Of course it is…"

"Then isn't that fucking enough? What else is there to say? I've already used the 'Boundary-Sealing Lock' — even if I wanted to call more people now, they couldn't get in. Just focus on fighting for me, and stop overthinking."

Li Yan was struck dumb for a moment.

The Sealing Realm Lock can temporarily seal the entry and exit of a territory.

People outside cannot come in, and people inside cannot get out.

It's a commonly used tool for pursuit.

Li Yan sighed: "Lord Zhao Ji, you're still a bit impulsive."

Zhao Ji said: "Do you think I fucking don't want to use the Sealing Realm Lock? You've been talking nonsense with me here for 2 minutes. If the enemy really is the Resistance, they'd have already run off in that time. Understand?"

Li Yan nodded: "Alright, then we can only go all out. Lord Zhao Ji, please be careful later."

"I know, I know you're loyal to me, but you're just too long-winded. Hurry up and go. My Night Vision has timed out, give me another one."

Li Yan raised his hand.

A dim streak of light shot into Zhao Ji's body.

Zhao Ji's eyes turned deep red again.

Zhao Ji looked at the other two subordinate heroes and ordered: "Zhou Qian, Zuo Yuan, each of you take 100 Vampire warriors, circle around from both sides to surround them. If you encounter enemies on the way, you may attack. Remember, the enemy lord must be taken alive."

"Yes."

Zhou Qian cupped his hands.

He was also wearing black armor, with a slender, thin build, extremely pale skin, and no color in his face.

He was a Vampire hero.

"Understood!"

Zuo Yuan lowered her head slightly.

She was a beautiful, alluring female Elf hero.

The two were about to leave when Li Yan quickly raised his hand.

"You two each take only 50 men. Leave 300 men to follow Lord Zhao Ji."

Zhou Qian and Zuo Yuan looked at Zhao Ji, who showed no reaction.

The two of them accepted the new order: "Understood, Lord Li Yan."
