Chapter 606
Turning the Tables
Ning Qi continued along the original path until he finally sensed the presence of Zhao Shilin and his group.
"Master, over there."
Yao Ling quickly reminded him.
"it is good!"
Ning Qi agreed and then sped away.
As he approached them, they noticed him.
"Commander Lei."
Zhao Shilin exclaimed in surprise and said to everyone, "Come back, everyone. Commander Lei is back."
"Commander Lei, are you alright?"
"..."
At this time, many people returned, and they all looked worried.
Clearly, everyone was looking for him during the time he was missing.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried everyone."
Ning Qi shook his head, then looked at everyone: "Is everyone alright?"
"We're fine, we've taken care of the pursuers."
"Commander Lei, I'm so glad you're alright."
Everyone responded, their faces relaxed.
"Commander Lei, how is the Holy Maiden?"
Zhao Shilin came over and asked.
"He had a chance to catch her, but he had a really powerful weapon."
"A tiny compass could grow to a thousand feet in size and swallow me whole."
"If I hadn't thought of a way to escape, I'm afraid she would have taken me away."
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi did not hide anything and told the truth directly.
"compass?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shilin repeated, "It can grow larger and even devour people with the strength of a Celestial Immortal?"
"Isn't this a treasure from the celestial realm, the Qiankun Disc?"
"Yes, I've heard about that too. How did it end up in her hands?"
"This intelligence is wrong. She has such a powerful thing in her possession. Why didn't anyone tell us?"
"..."
Their conversation sparked discussion among the other demons around them.
Everyone wore expressions of shock, while some were secretly grumbling to themselves.
They were clearly dissatisfied with their actions tonight.
After all, this was caused by someone's incompetence.
Making it impossible for them to know the enemy's true strength is a major taboo.
"Alright, this isn't the place to talk. Let's go back and discuss this further!"
Zhao Shilin waved his hand and then beckoned everyone over.
"Commander Zhao, how do we get back?"
"Yeah, going out now would be suicide."
"The reason they didn't break in despite such a commotion is entirely because this is a void space."
The demons all looked troubled after hearing his words.
"We have no choice but to take a gamble."
Zhao Shilin gritted his teeth, then said in a deep voice, "Use the compass to open up the space and see if we can find the right direction."
"If we can capture as much of this city as possible, even if there are pursuers, we won't be completely wiped out."
"That's all we can do."
"Then let's split up and search, going as far away as possible."
After he spoke, everyone responded enthusiastically.
"Everyone, you can follow the path I've taken."
"We chased them quite far just now; at least we managed to leave this city."
Ning Qi pointed to the way he had come back and spoke to the crowd.
"That's not necessarily true. The void is different from our real space."
"You can fly 108,000 miles here, but outside, it might only be a few steps away."
Zhao Shilin shook his head and sighed.
Ning Qi listened to his words and then understood what was going on.
So, this space has this effect.
"Yes, otherwise the Sumeru Space we created wouldn't be that big."
"Everything is interconnected."
Someone else chimed in to remind them.
"What can we do? We can't stay indoors forever."
Ning Qi looked at everyone and couldn't help but ask.
"The only option left is to take a gamble."
"Let's try using a compass to see if we can connect to the Sumeru space of some surrounding towns."
"If we can find it, we can get out of there and then leave this place."
Zhao Shilin pondered for a moment, then continued, "Everyone, split up and continue the search."
"If you find it, send a message immediately."
"Yes."
"..."
After he spoke, everyone responded enthusiastically.
Subsequently, many people left directly.
Each of them wore a solemn expression.
Everyone knew that the city's defense forces had already been assembled in the outside world.
If they dare to go out, they will be surrounded and annihilated by the army.
Although they may not be the strongest, they must have people from their respective sects assisting them.
Then they will surely die.
At this moment, Ning Qi also found a direction and continued to search for a way out.
"Master, this is troublesome. It will take forever to find it."
Yao Ling sighed in his dantian, "If we had known they weren't confident of getting out, we wouldn't have risked our lives with them."
"I feel like Lei Shan tricked me. Why would he send us to such a dangerous place?"
"It's not that we were tricked by him, it's just that they are really too strong."
"If we make too much noise, we won't be able to get away."
As Ning Qi sped along, he said, "This matter has exceeded our expectations, so Zhao Shilin has no choice."
"Right now, we should try to find a way to get out of the Sumeru Courtyard."
"Yes, but our compasses simply don't have that capability."
Yao Ling sighed and emerged from his dantian.
Lin Fan, holding the compass given to him by Zhao Shilin, continued speeding along.
"Master, I have a way."
At this moment, Shi Xiaokun's voice came from his sea of consciousness.
"Oh, do you have any ideas?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Qi immediately became interested.
Shi Xiaokun flashed out of his sea of consciousness.
"Tell me already, stop keeping me in suspense."
Yao Ling couldn't wait to ask as well.
"Your Sumeru Space can now communicate with the outside world."
"I've almost finished refining it."
Shi Xiaokun thought for a moment, then continued, "As for where we want it to be, that's also within our control."
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."
"Once the connection is established, I'll call them over."
After Ning Qi agreed, he then instructed him to begin taking action.
Shi Xiaokun went to the side and directly entered Ning Qi's Sumeru Space, then began to operate it.
So Ning Qi and Yao Ling waited patiently there.
"Master, where did you say that woman went?"
“Even though we’re not with her, she should have come out by now.”
At this moment, Yao Ling stood on his shoulder and said curiously.
"I don't know, maybe she doesn't even know we've already come out."
Ning Qi shrugged, looking completely unconcerned: "However, if she comes out again, I won't fall for it again."
"This time, if she dares to show her face, I'll teach her a lesson."
"Yes, this woman is shady."
Yao Ling nodded vigorously, revealing a look of deep agreement.
"Could they have gone to call for reinforcements?"
Ning Qi suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say something.
"Ah, that's quite possible. We need to hurry."
Upon hearing this, Yao Ling widened her eyes.
Ning Qi's words made him realize that things were not going well.
"Shi Xiaokun, how are you? How much longer?"
Ning Qi snapped out of his daze and quickly asked.
"Master, it will be ready soon."
"This isn't refining; it's just communicating with the outside world, which is very easy."
After Shi Xiaokun responded, he continued working.
"Okay, then let's wait a little longer."
Ning Qi nodded, then thought for a moment: "Since it's almost time, I'll just communicate with Shi Xiaokun telepathically." "Okay, we've found it."
Shi Xiaokun quickly agreed.
"it is good!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he immediately began to activate his communication jade pendant.
Soon, the jade pendant began to fluctuate.
"call."
After a gentle breeze, a surge of spiritual energy erupted from the jade pendant.
Soon, a figure emerged from inside.
"Commander Lei!"
Zhao Shilin's illusory figure appeared and greeted him respectfully.
"I've found a way."
"Bring your people to find my presence; it's nearby!"
Ning Qi looked at Zhao Shilin and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, I'll contact the brothers right away."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shilin immediately looked relieved.
They then abruptly cut off their telepathic communication.
"That's good, we're ready to go out now."
The spirit of medicine breathed a sigh of relief, and then flashed back into his dantian.
"Master, it's all ready. Just wait for them to arrive, and then we can leave."
Shi Xiaokun also came over and spoke to Ning Qi.
"it is good!"
After Ning Qi agreed, he immediately waved his hand.
Shi Xiaokun once again entered his sea of consciousness.
"call!"
For a moment, he was the only one left there.
There were also gusts of strong wind.
After a short while, Ning Qi saw Zhao Shilin and his men flying over one after another.
"Commander Lei!"
"..."
After everyone arrived, they all stepped forward to greet them.
"Alright, we need to hurry, that saintess could come at any moment with her pursuers!"
Ning Qi looked around and said in a deep voice, "I suspect she disappeared to find reinforcements."
"Yes, so how do we leave?"
Zhao Shilin nodded in deep agreement and hurriedly asked.
His men also all looked tense.
They all looked around at the void and became wary.
"Come, let's go to my Sumeru Space first."
"We'll get out of here!"
Ning Qi directly opened his Sumeru Space.
"Get here? How do we get out?"
"Yes, isn't it the same?"
"..."
When the group heard that they were going to his Sumeru Space, they immediately looked disappointed.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that they would come to Ning Qi's Sumeru Space.
"Don't worry, I have a way!"
Ning Qi looked at the group and said with a smile, "You've come to the right place."
"Well... okay!"
Zhao Shilin nodded and looked at everyone, saying, "Come on, let's go with Commander Lei!"
"Yes!"
"..."
Everyone responded to his words.
A solemn expression appeared on everyone's face.
Then they followed Ning Qi into his Sumeru Space.
When Ning Qi came in, he was worried that they would discover his secret.
However, he discovered that Shi Xiaokun had already tampered with the place.
Once inside, all you can see is a simple Sumeru space.
The mountains and rivers inside are no longer visible; they have obviously been hidden by him.
How do we get out of here?
"..."
The group of people began to have doubts again.
"From here."
Ning Qi naturally knew the situation of his own Sumeru Space.
They found a way out immediately.
This was clearly left for him by Shi Xiaokun on purpose.
Ning Qi gave a shout and then led everyone directly to the passage that led out.
With a mere wave of his hand, he tore it apart.
"call!"
A gentle breeze suddenly came from outside.
"go!"
Then, Ning Qi called to the others, and they followed him toward the passage.
"Follow!"
Zhao Shilin followed closely behind.
The others followed suit and went out one after another.
After they all came out, they looked around at their surroundings.
We're out!
Where is this place?
"No matter where it is, as long as it's not in the city, it's fine."
"..."
Looking at the beautiful scenery, everyone looked relieved to have survived such a disaster.
Ning Qi looked at everyone and said with a smile, "This place is safe. Let's find our location and get ready to go back."
"Okay, let me see where we are."
As Zhao Shilin spoke, he leaped into the air.
Once we reached mid-air, we began to observe the situation.
After observing for a while, he quickly landed.
"How about it?"
Ning Qi asked in a deep voice.
"Let's go, it's not far from our teleportation array."
"We got out from a pretty good spot this time, and we avoided their encirclement directly."
Zhao Shilin looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I just used telepathy to ask about the situation."
"The only way we could get out was completely blocked by their people."
"I heard that the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have all gone there."
"Oh? People from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have come to lend a hand as well."
Ning Qi smiled upon hearing his words: "It seems we guessed right, they really did go to get reinforcements."
"It's no use them calling for reinforcements; we're already out."
Zhao Shilin looked relaxed, and then said, "Let's go, let's go ahead and meet up with them."
"Yes!"
"..."
Everyone readily agreed.
They then left together.
After crossing two mountain peaks, we soon arrived at a valley.
After they arrived, Ning Qi saw Lei Shan from afar.
He was already in disguise, so no one could recognize him.
However, Zhao Shilin still knew about it.
After they walked over, they stopped in a secluded spot.
"Commander Lei."
Zhao Shilin greeted him respectfully.
"Brother Ning, Zhao Shilin, how did you get out?"
"I'm still worried that you're trapped."
Lei Shan looked at the two people with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Clearly, he hadn't expected that they would be able to escape despite being surrounded.
"It's all thanks to Young Master Ning. If he hadn't found a way out, we would have been trapped."
Zhao Shilin couldn't help but sigh and say, "I never expected that even without preparation, they could catch us off guard."
"Is that saintess very strong?"
Lei Shan's expression turned solemn.
"Yes, she's not just strong, the key is that she has an endless stream of amazing weapons!"
Ning Qi nodded, then said, "I almost fell into her trap." (End of Chapter)
