Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 770 - 325: Teleporting Army

Qi Keqing cast her gaze over the troops she led.

This marked the second node seized by them after parting ways with the Profound Truth Realm’s forces.

By securing these two nodes, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will manifested, granting a bounty of rule fragments.

Qi Keqing spoke to the assembly, "Now, I have a matter to bring up with you all."

"Please speak, Senior Sister Qi!" came the swift reply from the entire group.

Having taken two nodes consecutively, joy radiated across every face.

Thanks to the compass provided by Ning Qi, they escaped the blindness of wandering the war realm in search of nodes!

Time was saved in abundance, and vast rewards came swiftly!

Because of this, Qi Keqing continued:

"Domain Master Ning once rescued us and handed over the compass for node exploration. Though he claimed the spoils from captured nodes belong to us, I suggest that no matter how many nodes we claim, we allocate twenty percent of the rewards to Domain Master Ning. What are your views?"

At these words, a momentary hush settled over the crowd.

Some agreed readily, while others held back.

Handing over twenty percent of their hard-earned gains to Ning Qi out of nowhere stirred reluctance in most hearts.

The primary issue was that sharing twenty percent among so many would leave little for each, and deducting extra would diminish individual shares further.

Thus, their hesitation was completely natural.

In the ranks, Taoist Longshan and Ye Qinghe exchanged quiet words.

"Master, what’s your opinion of Senior Sister Qi?" Ye Qinghe inquired.

Taoist Longshan gave a small nod and answered, "She received favors from Jiu yet still seeks to repay him. Her integrity stands out admirably!"

Ye Qinghe let out a light laugh, "Why not bring Senior Sister Qi into our fold? She’s highly competent and could assist Junior Brother Ning greatly with various duties!"

Taoist Longshan’s cheeks flushed with irritation, "Are you courting a scolding, teasing your master that way?"

Ye Qinghe tittered, her alluring gaze scanning the assembly, discreetly observing their responses.

"Master, it looks like they’re reluctant to part with twenty percent of the rewards for Junior Brother Ning."

Taoist Longshan kept a neutral face and remarked, "Jiu has no need for such things; he never meant to claim them anyway. But if they do offer, they’ll ultimately gain far more, leaving your junior brother at a disadvantage."

Ye Qinghe added, "That’s to be expected. Junior Brother Ning always repays kindness with greater generosity. The benefits we’ve received from him outweigh anything we’ve offered by miles."

The pair conversed casually, paying less mind to the group’s verdict.

Qi Keqing earned their rising esteem, her principled nature earning praise.

By raising the topic at this juncture, she allowed ample time for reflection. She avoided waiting until facing Ning Qi to propose it. Such foresight showed her magnanimity.

It was evident that Qi Keqing truly aimed to show appreciation for Ning Qi.

Up front, Qi Keqing refrained from pressing them. She declared, "I won’t compel anyone. Consider it merely my proposal; mull it over as you wish, but when we encounter Domain Master Ning next, provide me with your decisions."

She retrieved the Soul-Searching Plate bestowed by Ning Qi, infusing it with her spiritual power. At once, the needle buzzed and spun.

In the end, Qi Keqing watched the needle direct toward the southwest.

Qi Keqing abruptly gestured and commanded, "All troops, advance southwest."

The Fuyao Realm army chorused, "Yes!"

They now mirrored the methods Ning Qi employed to guide the Profound Truth Realm’s army, having observed it closely.

Initially, they pinpointed the node via the compass, then concealed their auras as the force moved toward it!

Wind whipped fiercely by Qi Keqing’s ears, sending her long locks streaming.

She disliked erecting magical shields against the gale; rather, she relished its fierce assault, as though charging against the tempest itself.

At the vanguard, she exuded the poise of a true commander.

Soon enough, Qi Keqing lifted her hand in a signal.

The followers braked instantly, suspending motionless in the sky, poised for her orders.

Qi Keqing peered forward. Her spiritual sense had pinpointed the node, yet astonishingly, recognizable shapes lingered nearby!

She promptly queried, "Do you seek revenge?"

The mention of revenge ignited fervor in the group.

"Senior Sister Qi, is it possible that Sikong Lan and his lot occupy the node up ahead?"

While the Fuyao Realm army pressed on under cover, Qi Keqing had chosen three stealth-expert cultivators, besides herself, to station at the flanks and rear.

These four operated with utmost caution, projecting their spiritual senses outward in all directions for scouting and alert!

The remaining cultivators were forbidden from deploying their spiritual senses.

Qi Keqing smiled, "Fate often pits foes together. At last, we’ve crossed paths with him!"

The name Sikong Lan stirred bitter resentment, with all yearning to tear him apart!

Having stumbled upon him now, how could they overlook settling the score for his earlier treachery?

Yet, a nagging worry persisted, prompting a question:

"Senior Sister Qi, the Mountain and Sea Realm Will enforces that same-realm cultivators cannot slay one another, with harsh penalties. How do we deal with Sikong Lan?"

This thought filled them with deep frustration.

They burned to eliminate Sikong Lan but dreaded the Mountain and Sea Realm Will’s reprisal.

Sikong Lan had exploited this very protection in his betrayal.

Qi Keqing keenly assessed the scene before them.

She observed Sikong Lan and his companions clashing with the five-headed World Sea Fierce Beast.
