Hearing several people begging for mercy, Zhou Ruoying remained unmoved and said, "I'll punish you by waiting until our army encounters the enemy, and then take the lead."
The expressions of several people all changed. When the two armies were fighting, it was undoubtedly the most dangerous to take the lead.
Their lips moved, as if they wanted to plead for mercy, but seeing the cold expression on Nascent Soul Master's eyes, they finally swallowed their pleas.
"Junior, take your orders."
After this incident, none of the Jindan cultivators dared to underestimate the Nascent Soul Lord in front of them.
No matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, it is just a matter of words to deal with them.
Zhou Ruoying glanced across the audience and nodded slightly.
"This is what it looks like. This battle is related to the survival of our human race. I hope all of you can go all out."
Soon, she divided the hundreds of Jindan monks present into ten teams.
Although the five thousand foundation-building monks were not present, they were divided into these ten teams, each with five hundred people.
"All monks must obey the captain's orders. Anyone who acts privately will be deemed to have violated military orders and will be killed without mercy."
Zhou Ruoying looked calm, but no one dared to doubt the authenticity of her words.
After telling some more about the marching commandments, she said, "The ten captains whose names I just called will stay, and the rest can leave."
Most of the monks breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and left the room.
Zhou Ruoying looked at the remaining ten people, her expression slightly relieved.
"You and the other ten people are far better than ordinary people in terms of cultivation and reputation.
As the captain, I hope that you will lead the monks under your command to fight the enemy bravely and not fall into the name of the human race!"
"Follow the teachings of the True Lord!"
Zhou Ruoying nodded slightly, "There are still a few days until we enter the realm of Jiao Palace. During these few days, you can get acquainted with the monks under your command. Okay, let's stop here today."
Ten Jindan monks, including Xu Chunniang, responded and bowed before leaving.
Xu Chunniang was about to leave when she heard a message. Her heart moved and she sat down again.
Although the others were surprised as to why she didn't leave yet, they were too sensible to ask any further questions.
After the others left, Zhou Ruoying showed a smile.
"When I was at home, I heard the younger members of the clan talking about your deeds. The last time Zhou Li escaped from the dungeon, my friend took action."
When Xu Chunniang heard that this true monarch was a monk from the Zhou family, she had some guesses about her identity.
The other party's words now confirmed her suspicion that this Nascent Soul Lord was indeed a member of the Zhou family of Fenglei Island.
"Junior, we just met him by chance."
"Within six days, the Suzaku war boat will enter the Jiao Palace. If there is a chance, I can arrange you to the outside. What do you think?"
When Xu Chunniang heard this, she immediately understood the other party's intention.
The Jiao Palace is vast, and the closer you get to the Jiao Palace, the more and more sea people you will encounter.
Therefore, the outer boundary should be relatively safe.
The Zhou family's Nascent Soul Lord made such arrangements, probably because she had a connection with the Zhou family, so he took special care of her.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment, but rejected the proposal.
Although it is relatively safe on the periphery, it is impossible to know the trends of the war situation at the first time.
When Zhou Ruoying saw her refusal, she didn't say much and just nodded.
"If you change your mind in the past few days, you can tell me at any time."
"Thank you, senior, for taking care of me."
Xu Chunniang accepted this kindness and left the room.
Watching the other party's figure disappear, Zhou Ruoying shook her head and smiled.
"She is quite arrogant, but with her fame and strength, she is worthy of this arrogance.
If you can survive this battle, you might have a chance to break through to the realm of Nascent Soul in the future."
Speaking of this, Zhou Ruoying showed a look of helplessness on her face.
Even she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to escape unscathed from this battle, not to mention that the other party was a little Golden Core monk.
The war boat traveled in the sea for five and a half days and finally arrived at the boundary of Jiao Palace.
After receiving the news, the Golden Snake Tribe, Yaoyu Tribe and other six or seven sea tribes living nearby had already led their entire tribe to wait at the border for many days.
Some of these sea tribes have as many as four or five Nascent Soul monks, and some are weaker and don't even have one Nascent Soul monk.
Six or seven sea clans gathered together, and there were as many as a dozen Nascent Soul monks, forming a powerful fighting force.
The nine aristocratic families are jointly commanded by Ao Haitian, the head of the Ao family, and Feng Jinhuang, the head of the Feng family.
After the two learned that the Golden Snake Clan, Yaoyu Clan and other sea clans were blocking the way ahead, they were at loggerheads.
Ao Haitian believes that it is not appropriate to be obsessed with fighting and consume his strength early.
He proposed to speed up all the war ships at full speed and leave these sea tribes behind.
With this method, only a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators need to be dispatched to deal with the Nascent Soul Sea Tribe who cannot escape.
"This method is inappropriate. Leaving these sea tribes behind seems to have eliminated the threat. However, as we continue to go deeper into the sea, we will encounter more and more sea tribes and our traveling speed will also slow down.
At that time, if these abandoned sea tribes catch up again, they will be surrounded from all sides and find it difficult to move forward."
The head of the Feng family, Feng Jinhuang, rejected the proposal of the head of the Ao family and suggested taking action directly to kill these sea tribes with thunderous means.
Soldiers are extremely fast, and the longer the delay is, the more time Jiao Palace will have to prepare.
This proposal was unanimously opposed by other companies.
"If we want to exterminate the clan, how is our behavior different from that of the sea clan?"
Moreover, this will inevitably arouse the vigilance and fierce counterattack of other sea tribes, which will be detrimental to our next actions.
Our target is the Jiao Emperor's Palace. As long as we solve the Jiao Emperor in the late stage of becoming a god, we can resolve this crisis."
"This won't work, and that won't work either. So tell me, do you have any good countermeasures?"
Feng Jinhuang frowned slightly and looked at the head of the Bai family who had been silent.
"The Master of the Bai family can get a glimpse of destiny, does he have any insights?"
The head of the Bai family did not refuse and directly expressed his thoughts.
"This trip is to crusade against Jiao Palace. Although there are thousands of clans in the sea, among these sea clans, there are only a few hundred Yuanying monks who are in charge. There are also some powerful sea clans who do not listen to the orders of Jiao Palace at all.
There are as many as four to five hundred teams in our human clan, so why not separate some teams to stay and fight against these sea clans. The main force of our clan will not be delayed and can continue to move forward."
After others pondered, they felt that this method was feasible.
"In this way, we won't lose too much strength, don't waste time, and leave no hidden dangers. The Bai family leader really has a clever move."
"Scatter the human monks throughout the sea area. Even if the trip is unfavorable, you can still retain some of your strength."
After hearing this, Patriarch Ao and Patriarch Feng agreed with the method proposed by Patriarch Bai.
Based on the strength of these six or seven sea tribes, after selecting a dozen teams to stay and fight, dozens of war boats submerged into the sea and sneaked down.
To show fairness, the dozen teams selected came from various islands in Jiuzhou.
They are not familiar with each other, so when they fight together, they will inevitably become a little scattered.
