Chapter 304   Hidden Sect’s Camp

“Xu Ning.”

Just when Xu Ning was about to board the ship, he heard a female voice.

Xu Ning knew that it was Yu Qiao. “Senior Sister Yu.”

Xu Ning stood still and greeted.

“Although we are not assigned to the same ship this time, our ships are going in the same destination. When the time comes for us to fight against the Hidden Sect, we can join forces.”

Yu Qiao said.

“Mmm…”

Xu Ning agreed just for show.

Before going out to the sea, all the disciples had learned that Hidden Sect had three camps overseas.

Thus, the forces of the Imperial Court would also be divided into three groups, heading to three different destinations.

After a short conversation with Yu Qiao, Xu Ning boarded the warship. ‘The imperial soldiers on the ship are not simple…’

As soon as he boarded the ship, Xu Ning could feel a strong fighting spirit brewing in the air. “The soldiers responsible for exterminating the Hidden Sect are all experienced soldiers…’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

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

And every one of them was a dao realm master.

A dao realm master was already terrifying. What was even scarier was that these dao realm troops also had their own battle formation and combination techniques.

If they worked together, they could kill enemies above their realm.

These troops were the absolute elites of the Imperial Court.

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

They all knew that there were seed disciples of the Core Sea Demon Sect watching over the mission.

Most of these seed disciples were high level dao realm masters. They would play a powerful offensive role in crucial battles, as they were the upper limit of their combat power.

“Brother, how should I address you?”

Xu Ning walked to the deck and saw a man in heavy armor greeting him. ‘Elementary origin realm master…’

Xu Ning sensed his true strength.

Looking at his gear, Xu Ning knew that this person was the commander of the ship.

In the near future, this person would be responsible for commanding the battle and even Xu Ning’s movements.

After all, this operation was coordinated with the seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect acting as support to be the vanguards.

“Xu Ning.”

Xu Ning cupped his fists.

“So you are Brother Xu.”

The heavily armored man laughed. “I am Tong Gang, responsible for the affairs of the ship. Brother Xu, for our upcoming mission, I hope you can cooperate with us.”

Tong Gang’s attitude was polite.

He also knew that these seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect were not simple characters.

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

“Brother Tong, you’re too kind. I’ll be waiting for your orders.”

Xu Ning cupped his fists in response.

Right at this moment, another person boarded the ship.

The person was a strong man wearing a sleeveless shirt. His skin was bronze-colored, and his exposed arms were full of muscles. He had a capable and fierce aura.

“Feng Qi greets the two of you.” This man named Feng Qi was also a seed of the Core Sea Demon Sect.

There were two seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect on each ship.

Xu Ning and Feng Qi were assigned to this warship.

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

“Junior Brother Xu’s name has been very famous recently.”

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

Xu Ning’s name had recently spread in the Core Sea Demon Sect, and Feng Qi had long heard of him.

Feng Qi had seen Xu Ning from a distance when the seeds gathered at the Island Heart Peak.

It was just that the two had no connections back then, so Feng Qi did not talk with Xu Ning.

“Senior Brother Feng is exaggerating.”

Xu Ning responded casually.

This made Tong Gang’s eyes twitch.

“This Xu Ning seems to be a powerful figure in the Core Sea Demon Sect…’

Tong Gang felt apprehensive.

When he saw Xu Ning previously, he already felt that Xu Ning was not simple. Now, Feng Qi’s words basically confirmed his thoughts.

“The two of you can wait on the deck for a while. Once we receive a unified order, we will set off together.”

Tong Gang said to the two. Not long after boarding the warship, everything was ready in about half an hour.

With a command, more than sixty warships moved at the same time. They split into three waves and sailed towards the distant sea.

After traveling for more than a hundred kilometers, the three groups began to deviate from each other and sail separately.

These three fleets each had their own destination.

Xu Ning’s warship fleet was heading southeast.

There were more than twenty warships in this fleet, and Xu Ning was on an ordinary warship. In addition, there was also a leading warship as well as a central warship.

The leading warship was responsible for leading the way, while the central warship was surrounded by ordinary warships. The core commander of this fleet was on the central warship.

The highest commander was a general of the Imperial Court, and it was said that he was in the ninth stage of the dao realm. The warship that Yu Qiao was assigned to was this central warship.

At the same time, on that central warship, it was also the location of Mo Yu’s clone. It was responsible for the communication between State Wansheng and the sailing ships.

“Our mission to destroy the Hidden Sect would probably take a lot of time.”

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

‘Four months is indeed a long time…’

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

Although there were more than twenty warships in the fleet, they moved quickly.

Even at sea, the fleet’s speed was comparable to the maximum speed of an elementary level dao realm flying demon beast.

“Four months…”

Feng Qi pondered for a moment and asked, “Brother Tong, there is something I don’t understand.” “Please ask.”

Tong Gang motioned for Feng Qi to ask.

“Apparently, we know the location of the Hidden Sect because there are spies in the Hidden Sect.”

Feng Qi asked, “But at the same time, some of the Hidden Sect’s forces have also infiltrated State Wansheng. If we go to the camp of the Hidden Sect in such a grand manner, won’t we be exposed in advance?”

“Since their whereabouts have been exposed, after going to their destination, they can also move at any time, causing us to miss them.”

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

Even if Feng Qi didn’t ask, Xu Ning wanted to know the reason.

Tong Gang patiently explained, “You don’t have to worry about this at all.”

“The camps chosen by the Hidden Sect were carefully selected from lands overseas. The geographical conditions and martial arts environment there are excellent. It is said that the density of spiritual energy there is comparable to State Wansheng.”

“Under such circumstances, even if they receive the news that we are going to attack, it is impossible for them to move at a large scale, because once they move, they will be forced to go to places with thin aura. This is simply unacceptable to them.”

“In addition, there is another reason. The base of this Hidden Sect is extremely large. They search for people everywhere and forcibly migrate them, forming a population settlement.”

“Combined with various factors, even if they want to migrate, they will face a very complicated situation.”

“And…”

Tong Gang paused with a confident smile. “Even if they migrate, the people we planted in the Hidden Sect will spread the news. We can also change our route and chase after them!”

“We brought a huge amount of resources with us this time. We can ensure that we can exert 100% of our strength in places with thin spiritual energy. Although the Hidden Sect has many masters, their reserves of resources are incomparable to ours.”

“I see…”

Xu Ning and Feng Qi looked at each other and nodded silently.

Their previous worries were completely unnecessary. The Imperial Court had already considered this.

Afterwards, Xu Ning and Feng Qi chatted with Tong Gang and gained a better understanding of the details of this mission.

The fleet continued to sail. More than three months went by. Over the past three months, Xu Ning had been staying on the ship, refining pills to pass the time.

As for Tong Gang and Feng Qi, they spent their time cultivating.

The two of them were in the seventh stage dao realm, just like Xu Ning.

Although in comparison, their strength was definitely far inferior to Xu Ning’s.

On this day.

Tong Gang received the news from the central warship, so he called Xu Ning and Feng Qi over and gathered together.

“Brothers, there is news from the spies in the Hidden Sect.”

Tong Gang said, “Just like we guessed before, the Hidden Sect is not moving their camp. They only moved some disciples with good potential, so not many core members are left.”

“Is that so…”

Xu Ning and Feng Qi nodded at the same time.

This meant that they were going to attack.

“However, after knowing that we are about to approach and siege them, the people of the Hidden Sect have also begun to make preparations and their own arrangements. In other words, when the time comes, we will have to face a Hidden Sect who is ready to fight. Therefore, this operation will definitely not be easy.”

Tong Gang did not hide the danger of the operation, instead he told the two of them to have a higher evaluation of this mission.

“In addition, they may also ambush us on the way. The central warship is calling for us to be careful at all times and stay alert.”

Tong Gang reminded again.

“I was prepared a long time ago. I really want to see how powerful the Hidden Sect is.”

A true fighting spirit appeared in Feng Qi’s eyes.

Although the Hidden Sect had been famous for a long time, Feng Qi did not have any experience of fighting against the Hidden Sect like Xu Ning, so he never personally felt the power of the Hidden Sect.

When Tong Gang heard this, he laughed. “Then I will rely on you two when that time comes.”

“Of course.”

Feng Qi responded.

Xu Ning also nodded.

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

Over the past three months, Xu Ning had learned some information from Tong Gang.

In addition to a powerful force, the Imperial Court’s fleet seemed to have another trump card.

But he still didn’t know what that trump card?was.
