Chapter 307: Siege

“You have already done a great job.”
Xu Qian encouraged the two, “Both of your actions are considered a merit.”
The performance of the seeds from the Core Sea Demon Sect this time was determined by the merits given by the Imperial Court.
Xu Qian would basically finalize the final evaluation of the seeds.
“Which ship are you from, and what is your name?”
Xu Qian asked.
“Warship 17, Xu Ning.”
Xu Ning responded.
“Okay.”
Xu Qian nodded. “You can both leave. Leave these corpses for the others to investigate.”
Xu Ning and Yu Qiao bowed to Xu Qian before walking to the deck together.
From a distance, the fleet that had been ambushed had already been recovered.
The warships that had just capsized were also replaced by new dao weapon warships.
Although the demon beasts in the sea were aggressive, facing the elite forces of the Imperial Court and the help of the seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect, the fleet did not suffer much damage.
“This is considered our first time working together.”
Yu Qiao stood next to Xu Ning. “When we attack the camp of the Hidden Sect later, we can fight side by side again and make contributions.”
Xu Ning smiled without answering.
“Senior Sister Yu, I will return to my ship first.”
With that, Xu Ning flew away from the central warship.
‘Is Xu Ning afraid that I will overshadow him…’
After Xu Ning left, Yu Qiao chuckled. She didn’t really care about Xu Ning’s cold attitude.
“Brother Xu, you’re back!”
On the other side, Xu Ning had returned to his ship.
As soon as he came back, Tong Gang and Feng Qi hurried towards him.
Currently, the blood-stained ship had already been cleaned up.
He didn’t know if the corpses of the demon beasts were thrown into the sea or put away.
After all, there were many precious resources in the bodies of dao realm demon beasts.
“How is it? Did you find anything?”
Feng Qi asked.
Immediately after Xu Ning left, Feng Qi realized what Xu Ning wanted to do. He must have gone to find the Master Tamers who controlled these demon beasts.
Feng Qi wanted to follow him, because only by continuously performing meritorious deeds could he receive a better evaluation.
But because of his injuries, Feng Qi hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he still did not chase after him.
If he couldn’t find the target and was ambushed instead, he would be in trouble.
“Senior Sister Yu Qiao and I caught four Master Tamers. Unfortunately, we couldn’t keep them alive.”
Xu Ning said.
After hearing this, Feng Qi was a little envious.
They had only just begun, but Xu Ning had made a contribution.
“Brother Xu is amazing!”
Tong Gang patted Xu Ning’s shoulder and smiled.
When Xu Ning killed the demon beast just now, he was fierce and strong. Tong Gang saw all of this.
After learning that Xu Ning had found out the masterminds behind the ambush, he felt that Xu Ning was not simple.
With this in mind, Tong Gang wanted to get closer to Xu Ning.
In his opinion, Xu Ning was very likely to become a high-ranking member of the Core Sea Demon Sect in the future.
If he formed a friendship with him, he would benefit endlessly in the future.
“Senior Brother Feng, concentrate on recuperating. In ten days at most, we will reach the camp of the Hidden Sect and attack them. You have to recover quickly.
Xu Ning said.
“Don’t worry, I have taken a pill to heal my injuries. I will recover in a few days.”
Feng Qi responded.
After the wave of demon beast attacks, everyone entered combat mode in advance.
Whether it was the seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect or the soldiers of the Imperial Court, they all realized that the following operation would likely be a difficult battle.
The ship continued to sail.
Eight days later.
The fleet slowed down.
This was because the camp of the Hidden Sect was already in their line of sight.
‘We are finally here!’
Standing at the bow of the ship, Xu Ning could clearly see the distant island.
A rough estimation showed that the territory of the Hidden Sect should be one-third of the size of the Core Sea Demon Sect.
However, although this place was small, the spiritual energy here was as dense as State Wansheng.
This was rare overseas.
Finding such a place in the vast Endless Sea must have taken a lot of effort.
“It seems like the Hidden Sect is already prepared for our arrival.”
Tong Gang stood next to Xu Ning.
The reason why Tong Gang said this was because the island was surrounded by a wall of trees.
The wall of trees intertwined with each other like a tall fence, surrounding the entire island in an attempt to prevent an invasion from the outside world.
On the top of the wall, there were already disciples of the Hidden Sect holding longbow dao weapons with their aim on them.
It seemed like as long as they wanted to invade the island, they would attack immediately.
“What should we do next?”
Feng Qi asked Tong Gang.
“Wait for General Xu’s orders.”
Tong Gang replied.
There was a communication device between the central warship and the accompanying warships, which could transmit instructions at any time.
Not long after, Tong Gang received an order. Xu Qian asked all the warships to spread out and completely surround the island.
This was to prevent the people of the Hidden Sect from escaping when they couldn’t resist the final attack.
At this moment.
On the island.
Master Liu of the Hidden Sect was sitting in a hall, and beside him were the green-robed man and the pink-clothed woman.
But this time, there were other gray-robed people in the hall.
“Everyone, the people from State Wansheng are here.”
Master Liu’s voice was low as he glanced at everyone.
Everyone had a solemn expression.
In order to defend their base, they had to fight desperately in the face of a great enemy.
“Although the enemy is coming at us aggressively, we have enough strength to resist them. Don’t let your thoughts run wild before the battle.”
Master Liu said.
“Our stationed island has activated a secret treasure, the ‘Tree Domain’, to surround the entire island. This precious secret treasure was given to us by the Sect Master. No matter how high the enemy flies, the wall of trees in the Tree Domain will stop them. If they want to break in, they have to break through the wall of trees.”
“But this wall of trees is not so easy to break. When they break the tree wall, we can seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack, inhibiting them from breaking the tree wall while also injuring them.”
Master Liu’s words calmed everyone down a little.
Everyone trusted the defensive power of the tree wall created by the secret treasure Tree Domain.
After all, this was a treasure left behind by Sect Master Yu Zhiyin.
“Okay, everyone, I will arrange the battle plan next.”
Master Liu said, “As long as they are strictly executed, even if they are given another ten years, they will not be able to break into the island.”
