"I just asked around and got a detailed star map of the nearby star field. If we retreat now and bypass the battlefield, it will probably take us nearly half a year to complete the whole process." Zheng Jie said.
Previously, they were unable to teleport here because the teleportation array in front was closed, so they traveled through space to get here. Now, if they retreat, they have to go back the same way and change direction to avoid the battlefield, which naturally wastes more time.
Deng Qing frowned upon hearing this and said, "It would be a waste of time to go around. It would only take us a little over a month to get there by traveling through space along the edge of the battlefield."
They had heard the news about Yuan Jiu and others before. The three teams were in a kind of competition. If they delayed for so long, they would probably be overtaken by the other two teams.
"So what do you all think?" Chen Jie looked at the others and said.
It is somewhat dangerous to travel through space at the edge of the battlefield. Even if he is the elected leader of the team, it is not easy to make a direct decision.
"I think it would be faster to go there directly through space."
"This is the battlefield of three mid-level Martial Emperor-level cultivators. Although there are no Martial Emperors participating in the battle, it will be very troublesome if we accidentally get involved in the battle."
"I think it's safer to back out and go around it."
Other practitioners expressed their opinions one after another. Some agreed to directly travel through space and continue on their journey, while others agreed to take a detour.
"Since everyone has different opinions, let's follow the principle of majority obeying the minority." Chen Jie couldn't help but speak when he saw this.
Soon everyone started to vote, and in the end, the majority of practitioners agreed to travel through space and continue on their journey, so everyone continued to set off and travel through space. In fact, this result was not unexpected. After several years of traveling, not to mention Yang Qi and others at the beginning, even Shi Zhong, who joined at the end, felt a little bored. If it weren't for the huge attraction of the opportunity in Tianhuang Palace, I'm afraid they would have stopped long ago.
Now they have to take a detour and waste several months, so naturally not many people agree. After all, the area they are now in is on the edge of the battlefield. In addition to the practitioners from the three major forces, there are also some other practitioners living nearby. Obviously, this area is not that dangerous.
With a detailed star map, everyone traveled along the edge of the battlefield. Although it was a little farther than a straight line, it was much less dangerous. In the core area where the three major forces were fighting, it was said that there were more than four digits of Martial Emperors alone. There were often Martial Emperors who died, and countless Martial Kings who died. If Yang Qi and others crossed the core area of the battlefield directly, they would be courting death.
In the void, a team of practitioners in blue-grey clothes were besieging and killing several practitioners. The practitioners in blue-grey clothes were obviously more powerful. The practitioner who was besieged did not hold on for long and died on the spot.
The middle-aged man in the lead looked at the corpses in front of him and couldn't help but sneer, "How dare you sneak into our Qianren Sect's territory to get information? You're simply courting death!"
"That's all thanks to our senior brother who discovered it early, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for us to take them down." said the cultivator next to the middle-aged man.
"Okay, let's pack up and get ready to leave." The middle-aged man said indifferently.
"yes."
The practitioners on the side immediately nodded and collected the treasures left by the dead practitioners, even the corpses were not spared.
"Um?"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes focused, and he said in a deep voice, "Someone is coming through space, it may be their reinforcements, get ready to fight!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed and they quickly responded, "Yes!"
Buzz~
The man and his entourage immediately used the formation plates in their hands to hide themselves. Unless one looked too carefully, their presence could not be discovered.
Wow~
At the moment when the man and his group hid, a space crack suddenly appeared in the void not far away, and then human figures one after another rushed out from the space crack.
"Peak of Martial King?"
Looking at the figures coming out of the space channel one after another, the middle-aged man in the lead was slightly stunned.
If the enemy sends cultivators here, it is absolutely impossible that they will just send some cultivators at the peak of Martial King level. After all, a patrol team like theirs has at least two Martial Emperors in charge. Sending cultivators at the peak of Martial King level would be tantamount to seeking death.
"They are not enemies. So many martial arts masters at the peak of their powers are here..."
The man raised his eyebrows and thought rapidly in his mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he seemed to have thought of something. "Could it be..."
There were usually few outsiders on the edge of the battlefield, and there were so many of them in groups. He had heard before that a patrol team had killed some outsiders while tracking down the enemy and obtained the Tianhuang Order. Could these practitioners in front of him also be practitioners heading to Tianhuang Palace
"Brother, it seems that they are not here to gather information." A voice sounded in the middle-aged man's ears.
"No!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately transmitted his voice, "They are here to gather information. They are deliberately disguising themselves as ordinary peak martial kings, pretending to go to Tianhuang Palace!"
Tianhuang Palace!
After these words were spoken, the others understood what the middle-aged man meant. With their team, they could easily take down the thirteen people in front of them, and they had a great chance of obtaining the Tianhuang Order.
As for the powerful people behind these practitioners, they don't care at all. The Thousand Blade Sect itself has a mid-level Martial Emperor in charge, and this is the edge of the battlefield. Even if someone dies, the other party will never know who did it, and can even put the blame on the other two major practicing forces.
"kill!"
Almost in an instant, everyone who understood all of this turned their eyes to the middle-aged man in the lead. The meaning was obvious: they would follow the middle-aged man's lead, and as long as the middle-aged man took action, they would follow.
"There's something wrong with the atmosphere of this fight!"
Yang Qi's eyes swept across the void around him and his brows frowned slightly. For some reason, when he arrived in this void, he always felt that something was wrong.
Liu Qingpeng heard this and said indifferently, "Brother Yang, are you overthinking it? This is the edge of the battlefield. It is normal to have the aura of cultivators fighting. Didn't we encounter it before?"
They had been traveling through space on the edge of the battlefield. This was not the first time they had encountered a situation where the void was filled with the aura of fighting. They had even encountered practitioners fighting before.
"Be careful, I'll check it out first..."
Yang Qi said something, and his own perception was immediately fully released.
Buzz~
At the moment when Yang Qi released his perception, a strange wave was recorded, and the surrounding space was immediately blocked. Then, twelve figures appeared in the sight of Yang Qi and others. (To be continued)
