Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 1351 - 605: Turning the Tables
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Ning Qi continued along the original path, eventually sensing Zhao Shilin and the others’ presence.
"Master, over there."
The Medicine Spirit quickly reminded him.
"Alright!"
Ning Qi agreed, then accelerated and flew over.
As he was getting close to them, the other party also noticed.
"Commander Lei."
Zhao Shilin exclaimed, saying to everyone, "Come back, everyone, Commander Lei has returned."
"Commander Lei, are you alright?"
"..."
At this time, many people came back, each with a worried look.
Clearly, during the time he was gone, everyone had been looking for him.
"I’m fine, sorry to have worried everyone."
Ning Qi shook his head, then looked at the crowd: "Is everyone alright?"
"We’re fine; we’ve dealt with the pursuers."
"Commander Lei, it’s good that you’re okay."
Everyone responded one after another, each with a relaxed expression.
"Commander Lei, how is the Saintess?"
Zhao Shilin came over to ask.
"At first, I had a chance to catch her, but she has a magical treasure that’s too formidable."
"A small compass that can grow to a thousand zhang in size and swallowed me whole."
"If I hadn’t thought of a way to escape, I might have been taken away by her."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi didn’t conceal anything and directly spoke the truth.
"A compass?"
Zhao Shilin repeated upon hearing: "It can grow large and swallow someone with the strength of a Heavenly Immortal?"
"Isn’t that the Celestial Realm’s treasure, the Universe Plate?"
"Yes, I’ve heard of it too, how did it fall into her hands?"
"This intelligence must be wrong. With such a formidable item in her possession, why didn’t anyone inform us?"
"..."
The conversation between them sparked discussion among the surrounding Demon Race members.
Each had a shocked expression, and some were grumbling inwardly.
Clearly dissatisfied with tonight’s operation.
After all, this incident was caused by someone’s incompetence.
Failing to provide true information about the enemy’s strength is a major taboo.
"Alright, this isn’t the place to talk, let’s go back and discuss!"
Zhao Shilin waved his hand and then called everyone over.
"Commander Zhao, how should we go back?"
"Yes, going out now would be certain death."
"With such a commotion, the only reason they haven’t stormed in is because this is a Void Space."
Several Demon Race members, upon hearing his words, showed troubled expressions.
"We can only take a gamble."
Zhao Shilin gritted his teeth and then said solemnly: "Use the compass to open space, and see if we can find the right direction."
"Try to stay within this city’s courtyard. Even if pursuers come after us, we won’t be completely annihilated."
"That’s the only way."
"Then we’ll search independently, aiming to go far away."
After his words, everyone responded.
"Everyone can move along the path I took."
"We pursued far out just now, at least we can exit this city."
Ning Qi pointed to the path he returned on, saying to everyone.
"That’s not necessarily true; Void Space is different from our real space."
"You might fly thousands of miles here, but outside it might only be a few steps."
Zhao Shilin shook his head and sighed.
Upon hearing him, Ning Qi realized what was happening.
It turns out, this space has such effects.
"Yes, otherwise the Sumeru Space we open up wouldn’t be so small."
"Everything is interconnected."
Someone else interjected to remind.
"So, what can we do? We can’t stay here forever."
Ning Qi asked, looking at everyone.
"The current solution is just to take a gamble."
"We try using the compass to connect with the Sumeru Space of nearby towns."
"If we can find one, we exit from there and leave this place."
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Shilin continued: "Everyone, move independently, continue searching."
"If you find something, transmit a signal immediately."
"Yes."
"..."
After his words, everyone responded.
Soon, many people left directly.
Each had a solemn expression on their faces.
Everyone knew that in the outside world, the City Defense Army had already gathered.
If they dared to go out, they would face an army siege.
Although they might not be the strongest, there would surely be Sect members assisting them.
In that case, they would be doomed.
Ning Qi also found a direction and continued to search for a way out.
"Master, this is troublesome, it’ll take ages."
The Medicine Spirit inside his Dantian sighed: "Had we known they had no confidence to get out, we wouldn’t have taken this risk with them."
"It feels like Thunder Mountain set us up, why would he send us to such a dangerous place?"
"It’s not that he set us up; it’s just that they were indeed too strong."
"Making too much noise left us unable to escape."
Flying, Ning Qi said: "This matter exceeded our expectations, so Zhao Shilin is helpless."
"Right now, let’s try to find the Sumeru Courtyard to get out."
"Indeed, but our compass doesn’t have that capability."
The Medicine Spirit sighed, coming out of his Dantian.
Lin Fan continued flying with the compass Zhao Shilin gave him.
"Master, I have a way."
At this time, Shi Xiaokun’s voice came from his mind.
"Oh, what solution do you have?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi was instantly interested.
Shi Xiaokun flashed out from his mind.
"Quickly say it, don’t keep us in suspense."
The Medicine Spirit also asked impatiently.
