Mote Next, he affirmed the abilities of several people and said: "But your abilities are indeed very strong. Not only are you stronger than the average smuggling horse team, you are also much stronger than the practitioners I have seen." Li Qing curious question : "Have you seen other practitioners?" "Just last night, five people passed by here and poured some powder into the water source." Beiyue was surprised and asked: "Last night? Where did they go? ? " "That direction." Mote pointed, and it was the starting position of Highway. Beiyue stood up and said: "We have to go, Mote, nice to meet you." "Aren't they with you?" Mote asked. "No, it could be the enemy." The five practitioners, Beiyue is very heavy-hearted. The four of them, who have almost no teamwork and actual combat, have to face the Five-Man Team who have considerable experience. They may be destroyed. . But Beiyue has a minimum bottom line. If these five people are enemies, and if four of them don't come forward, the cavalry team will inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Cui Ming obviously also thought of this and asked: "Brother Mo, how are their strengths? How do they compare with Li Qing?" Mote thought for a while and obviously didn't understand Cui Ming's judging criteria. As far as Mote is concerned, the four people in Ding Ze are a big trouble, and the other three don't matter. Mote asked: "Force equivalent standard?" "You can say that." Mote replied: "They are much worse than Cui Ming you." "What?" Everyone was stunned, if and Cui Ming is better than others, it’s hard to say. But the Force equivalent is clear at a glance. A novice is a novice. Without long-term training, it is difficult to increase the Force equivalent. Cui MingQuestion: "Did you just start practicing ten days ago?" Six Elements If everyone is a beginner, then they will be similar to me, not worse than me.
"Mote said, 'I don't know. When I first saw Cui Ming today, I thought he was the leader of the five of them.'"
With his status suddenly elevated, Cui Ming confidently replied, "Brother Mo, you keep an eye on the camp for me. We'll be back soon."
Ding Ze couldn't believe it. "Mote, this doesn't make sense theoretically. Cui Ming is a novice, and his cultivation path doesn't significantly help in increasing Force equivalence." While enhancement might be possible, Strategy and reinforcement cannot improve Force equivalence through training.
Mote responded seriously, "My judgment is never wrong. The strongest among them has only half of Cui Ming's Force equivalence, and the weakest one is just slightly above an ordinary person's Force equivalence."
Beiyue thought for a moment. "Li Qing, you take the lead while I provide support from behind. Let's move towards the cavalry and try to join them as soon as possible. What do you all think?" Beiyue had finally learned to seek opinions.
Li Qing nodded. "That works. There's also a possibility that they are deliberately using annihilation elements to suppress their own Force. If that's the case, these five opponents are extremely formidable."
Cui Ming replied, "Unless they're out of their minds, there's no reason for them to use annihilation elements. We still need to travel."
That made sense; theoretically, it didn't hold up. The four couldn't unravel this mystery, so they left all their belongings behind and set off light. After bidding farewell to Mote, Li Qing took the lead as they headed toward the cavalry.
After half an hour of walking, Beiyue said, "Ding Ze, Cui Ming, if things go south, you two should leave first. I'll do my best to hold them off. Don't worry about me; alert the cavalry and Evelyn at the first opportunity. Understand?" From then on, it would be up to the Force Alliance to seek revenge for themselves.
Ding Ze said, "Yue, don't be so pessimistic. I've never heard of cultivators banding together to slaughter civilians; such actions cross a line for cultivators." Ding Ze couldn't convince himself either; Mote clearly had experience but didn't know the term for Force. He was sure there were five cultivators involved.
"It doesn't add up," Cui Ming analyzed. "If their target is the cavalry, how would they know that Beiyue Agency would send someone? Slaughtering the cavalry doesn't require five people; one would suffice. Is Fire Cult even wealthy enough to afford five cultivators being hunted down?"
"Unless all five cultivators are followers of Fire Cult. Right now, I just hope they are ambushing the cavalry rather than actively attacking them; otherwise, we won't make it in time." Beiyue spoke with some anger; it seemed that sending five cultivators to attack the cavalry was highly likely. If that were true, those five wouldn't hold back and would likely kill everyone involved—perhaps a massacre was already unfolding on the ancient road.
Everyone was too anxious for jokes and hurried along as fast as possible. With hundreds of lives at stake, Dawnmoon City was likely facing retaliation from both the Force Alliance and Eternity Alliance governments. Dawnmoon City was on the brink of war—a scenario that Fire Cult would be more than happy to see unfold.
More than two hours later, on the night of the second day after their official departure, Li Qing spotted a target from Force, a reconnaissance guard. Li Qing withdrew and signaled to the three members of the rear team to follow. The four of them concealed themselves as much as possible behind the rocks and, under Li Qing's guidance, reached a depression in the ground. Li Qing pointed to a large boulder above at an angle. "That's the reconnaissance guard."
Under normal circumstances, the reconnaissance guard would be invisible. However, upon encountering Li Qing, he did not rely on sight to locate the target but instead used sound. When the Force waves returned to him, Li Qing understood the presence of the reconnaissance guard and accurately pinpointed its location using True Sight Guardian.
Beiyue said, "The enemy is within a kilometer radius of the reconnaissance guard, and there are too many obstacles for us to detect their position. If this area is their ambush zone, they must have deployed a considerable number of reconnaissance guards."
Cui Ming suggested, "I have a rather risky idea."
"Go on?"
"Since I don't contribute much to the team anyway, why not extinguish my Force and appear within the reconnaissance guard's line of sight? They will definitely come over to check and learn my identity. Senior Brother can set up True Sight Guardian while you prepare an ambush."
"That's not feasible; it's too dangerous," Li Qing opposed. "Once extinguished, you will lack even the most basic self-defense capability."
Cui Ming replied patiently, "Based on the information we currently have, there are two possibilities. One is that Mote is right; the enemy consists of five newcomers who are even less experienced than I am and quite incompetent. In that case, can't you three protect me? The second possibility is that they are five skilled individuals. What options do we have then? Abandon the horse team? Retreat from the horse team? We will definitely need to confront them directly to ascertain their true strength, right? In this situation, my role is minimal. If I lure them over to investigate, there are several outcomes: ideally one or two come over; you three ambush them and take them down. The worst-case scenario is that all five come together; even so, you can still take the initiative just like Mote did against us by prioritizing eliminating Ding Ze's combat capability. My role as bait does not increase danger."
Beiyue looked at Li Qing. "Li Qing, what do you think?"
Li Qing pondered for a moment before nodding. "It's doable."
Cui Ming pointed to a large rock a hundred meters away. "They definitely won't know my background, so they will adopt a cautious approach. To observe me, that boulder is in an ideal position; it’s my blind spot."
