Chapter 9: The Price of Choice
Dao Lao seemed to be very attentive to Xiao Ning, and he usually didn't talk much, but after arriving on the flying boat, he took the initiative to find Xiao Ning and told him the danger of this trip.
However, this did not make Xiao Ning feel relieved, because Dao Lao's truthful confession just illustrated the danger of this trip. What's more, in the face of Xiao Ning's question, Dao Lao almost didn't answer it positively.
Xiao Ning is not a chivalrous hero, so he has some struggles in his heart. He really needed this Donglin caravan to guide him out of Wujun City and into a wider and safer sky, but was it really safe to follow this caravan? Xiao Ning's answer was obviously no. Although the answer was no, Xiao Ning was still hesitating.
"I know it must be difficult for you to accept it now, but if this matter really goes well, you can have any benefits you want!" Dao Lao looked at Xiao Ning, as if he had seen through the thoughts in his heart.
"I'm afraid I don't have a way out, why did you invite me?" Xiao Ning asked as he looked at the old man who was a little old and even a little rickety.
"Because you are capable!" replied to the old man very simply, without a little thought or hesitation.
"I'm just the first level of cultivation in the Immortal Law Realm, why do you think I'm capable!" Xiao Ning was very puzzled, the other party hadn't built the country and made his own move, why did he think he was capable? This was a question, and he couldn't explain it.
"Intuition, the intuition of a man who has walked on the crossing for countless years. In addition, judging whether a person is capable or not is never based on how strong his cultivation is. I think you have the ability, so I don't have to look at your cultivation!" Dao Lao's face flashed with pride, sometimes his own feelings are the most accurate, but more people are willing to rely on their own reason to analyze, and the results of analysis are often different from their own feelings, but the final result is closer to their own feelings.
Xiao Ning was silent, and he could only be silent in the face of the answer given by Dao Lao. Because an old man who has been on the knife edge for many years, he has seen life and death very thoroughly, so his senses must be very keen.
"I'm still not sure!" Xiao Ning's brow was still furrowed, because he didn't know what would happen next, so he was a little uneasy.
"Before promising you benefits, I will give you more remuneration, how about ten times?" Dao Lao continued to speak, he decided that Xiao Ning was a good helper, so he had to move the other party no matter what.
"Ten times? sounds tempting, but why do I think that this ten times the reward even has to be exchanged for his life?" Xiao Ning smiled bitterly, in fact, he was looking for this caravan just to make it easy, but he didn't expect it to become like this now.
"There is never a pie in the sky, so the danger is certain!" Dao Lao said a lot today, more than usual, which made the people accompanying him a little unaccustomed.
"It makes sense, but I still have to make it clear, life is very important to me, if I will die at that time, I will leave!" Xiao Ning's statement is actually full of confidence, he will leave rather than leaving. The former is ability, the latter is an idea, Xiao Ning thinks to himself, even if he encounters Jin Xian, he can't stop him from leaving his opponent.
"No problem, none of us are like dying, if you feel that your life is in great danger at that time, you can leave at any time. "The old knife cuts the railway.
"I'll follow you!" Xiao Ning didn't say much, this sentence was enough, because it was his decision.
The flying boat kept moving forward, and did not stop because of the conversation between Xiao Ning and Dao Lao.
A time has passed, Xiao Ning has left the sphere of influence of Wujun City, of course, he is still on this continent. Because this continent is too big, in fact, the Immortal Mine and Wujun City combined, that is, a corner of the continent near the galaxy. And the galaxy that Xiao Ning crossed with the Zhong brothers before was actually not a complete galaxy, it was a small area adjacent to the continent.
The galaxy is very large, and the continent is also very large, but the second largest city in Ling Tianfu that Xiao Ning is going to with this Donglin caravan is not on this continent.
Airplanes......
Xiao Ning, who was sitting on the flying boat, suddenly felt a sense of subordination, and then the scenery outside the porthole of the flying boat suddenly retreated at great speed, and the flying boat suddenly began to accelerate.
The sudden change in the flying boat made Xiao Ning's heart sink suddenly. The ship has been moving cautiously, and will not accelerate suddenly unless there are no circumstances. Because the movement of the flying boat requires a lot of resources to support, this sudden acceleration is obviously very expensive.
Therefore, the sudden change of Feizhou can only show one problem, that is, he can be targeted by someone, he is in a very dangerous environment, and the sudden acceleration is to get rid of the other party's entanglement.
"Our whereabouts have been revealed, let's all get ready for battle!"
Dao Lao's slightly rickety figure seems to have become more old, and no one usually controls the flying boat to fly, but now someone is staring at it, which means that they are exposed.
As Dao Lao said, the atmosphere in the inner warehouse of the flying boat suddenly became solemn, except for Xiao Ning, the others had obviously experienced something.
Xiao Ning was silent, he knew that this trip would not be peaceful, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Stop the flying boat in front, in front of my thousands of miles of soul chasing, you can't escape!" A voice suddenly came from the other party's flying boat, and this voice was very powerful, and it actually fell into everyone's ears.
"Your Excellency is a human being, why are you blocking our way?" a solemn voice sounded outside the warehouse.
"Chasing Souls for Ten Thousand Miles, why is he here, this is in trouble!" Someone in the warehouse knew that Chasing Souls of Ten Thousand Miles, and his brows furrowed even tighter.
Chasing the soul is a person, but it is not a name, but a nickname of his, this person is a master of tracking, and at the same time a ruthless executioner.
"What do you mean by stopping us?" A solemn voice sounded outside the warehouse, obviously the name of Soul Chasing made him feel very tricky.
"Don't ask knowingly, leave the person I want, others can have it, I won't pursue it!" The voice of Wanli Soul Chasing sounded again, and it seemed that he knew the Donglin caravan very well.
"We're just an ordinary caravan, where can you find the person you want?" The person in charge of talking to the Soul Chaser in the caravan spoke again, but he didn't know what the Soul Chaser said.
"It seems that you don't want to hand over people, in that case, then I can only kill it myself!"
Buzzing......
One wanted to leave, the other resolutely refused to let go, and after a stalemate for a while, the flying boats were forced to land and fell to the ground.
"Everyone, trouble is coming, you must guard the flying boat!" Dao Lao looked at the people in the warehouse and said with a solemn face.
No one spoke, but weapons were displayed in everyone's hands. After that, they all went out of the inner warehouse of the flying boat and went outside.
It's a relatively flat clearing, but it's on top of a hill. The mountain wasn't very high, and it looked like something sharp had cut off from the top, leaving a relatively straight facet.
On this relatively straight section, the two flying boats gathered at a distance of about thirty zhang, and when Xiao Ning and the others came out, the people who came down from the flying boats on the opposite side had already approached Xiao Ning and the others.
Whew......
There were no words at all, and the people on the flying boat on the opposite side moved their hands as soon as they came.
This group of people is very good and moves very quickly.
However, the Donglin caravan was not weak, and the people on both sides soon fought together.
Xiao Ning was carrying the holy weapon long knife snatched from the hands of Shankou Li's family, but he didn't do it at the first time.
Originally, Xiao Ning used a sword, but he didn't want to use his artifact, and he was afraid of getting into trouble by using the holy weapon sword he snatched from Lu Ming's hand, after all, Lu Ming was the Shen of the Shen family, and if people recognized that they were using Lu Ming's sword, there would definitely be trouble. Therefore, Xiao Ning picked up the long knife left by Li Dangjia.
The knife is different from the sword, but Xiao Ning doesn't care, because most of the knives are chopping movements, and now his immortal power can't hurt people externally, so it is more appropriate to use a knife.
Burst......
Soon, the first wounded person appeared on both sides of the war, this person was the protector of the Donglin caravan, the second heaviest in the Immortal Law Realm, equivalent to the middle stage of the True Immortal.
The person who can be selected by the Donglin caravan to be the protector of the merchant is certainly not weak, and the immortal weapon Qi Mei stick in the hands of some people is also very powerful, but his opponent is even more powerful. It was a man with a slender blade, this man's knife was very special, the handle was very long, it could be grasped with both hands, the blade was relatively straight, although it was not wide but it was very strong, the whole knife looked a little strange, but it was very suitable for chopping.
The owner of the knife was also dressed strangely, with his hair combed up, a ball pulled up on top of his head, a wide robe, but his chest was exposed, there were a few tufts of colored hair on his chest, and a pair of wooden shoes under his feet, which clicked when he walked.
The man struck with ferocity, his slender and somewhat straight blade slashing at him, and his opponent kept backing under the attack. This person's attack is very direct, but it is precisely because of the directness that it is more powerful.
Xiao Ning shook the knife in his hand and prepared to rush forward.
"Don't go over, stay by my side, don't let people get close to me!" When Xiao Ning was about to rush out, Dao Lao stretched out his hand to stop him.
Xiao Ning was slightly stunned, but his steps forward still stopped, and he raised his knife and guarded the old man's side.
"These are all little minions, it's not worth your shot, there will be more powerful ones later, and you will be needed at that time!" Dao Lao didn't look at Xiao Ning, but the words were said to Xiao Ning.
Airplanes......
As soon as Dao Lao's words were finished, a slight fluctuation suddenly appeared in the rear of the scene, which was very weak, but Xiao Ning felt it.
Bang......
At the same time as the slight fluctuation appeared, Xiao Ning swung his knife, the action was very simple, but it just hit an object.
It was a flying sword, and only the Golden Immortal was able to use the Immortal Power Imperial Envoy to fly the sword, while the True Immortal could not detect the flying sword at all.
However, Xiao Ning found out, but he was also uncomfortable, and was shocked by the power of the flying sword and took six or seven steps back, and his chest swelled.
Xiao Ning's brows furrowed into a pimple, he finally knew how strong his opponent was, he regretted such a choice a little, it seemed that this time he had to pay a lot of price for his choice.
