Chapter 1520: Divide the Forces Again
It was Aqi's turn to talk about their personal situations. Aqi was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, so he was really reluctant to talk about his embarrassing experiences in public. But he had no choice but to hold his nose and stammer about his embarrassing experiences.

There were some concealments in this, and he deliberately ignored some details that were too embarrassing.

But everyone understood that he had also been attacked by surprise. And there was more than one person who attacked him.

He only remembered that he was inexplicably struck by a bolt of lightning. Fortunately, he was not of the Berserk bloodline and was not naturally resistant to lightning as easily as people of the Berserk bloodline. Otherwise, this sneak attack by lightning would have turned him into charcoal.

But even so, he was still hit hard by the lightning. Fortunately, he still had the ability to walk underground, so he drilled deep into the ground and managed to escape back through the ground walking technique.

"Master Yin Qiao is right. I have to reflect on myself. We were too proud and underestimated the enemy. We thought we were here to do great things, not to be their bodyguards, so we were naturally a little resistant. Now it seems that we were absolutely wrong. We underestimated the opponent and did not predict the battle situation well. We made the bad mistake of being proud and underestimating the enemy."

His self-examination was also a way for him to save face.

After hearing his words, the other team members were also thoughtful, and their hearts couldn't help but tighten. It seems that today's situation is indeed different from what we expected.

The Tongye Grand Secretary nodded and said, "Now that everyone has realized the seriousness of the situation, I will not blame you for anything. From now on, you must remember that our action has already begun the moment we set out from the manor. Don't hold on to the previous leisurely mentality. You must remember that now is the time to act. You must be fully alert, focused and serious, and must strictly execute and obey orders! Whoever loses his spirit will definitely be the next to fall."

Elder Yin Qiao nodded and said, "Deputy Commander Tongye is right. The enemy is strong, but as long as each of you takes it seriously, you may not be unable to deal with them. But if you continue to underestimate the enemy, the four people before will serve as a lesson for you."

The Tongye Grand Secretary said again: "Master Yinqiao, how should we respond next? The enemy has gained an advantage, I am afraid that the next step will be more radical, right?"

The Supreme Elder Yin Qiao also had a worried look on his face, and said fearfully: "The origin of these enemies is unknown, and I actually saw a powerful summoning entity. I am a little suspicious, who are they?"

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Could it be that they are humans on the surface?"

Elder Yin Qiao pondered, "We can't rule out this possibility, but why did the surface humans target us so accurately? Our actions this time, let alone the surface humans, even the major forces in the inner world are unaware of it."

"Could someone have tipped us off? Could something have gone wrong here? We were being watched when we entered and left the manor?"

"Yes, someone must have been targeting us for a long time. The so-called bandits were instigated by these people with ulterior motives."

This time, everyone was much smarter and started to deduce the situation. Everyone agreed that these bandits must have been deliberately instigated by someone with ulterior motives, and these people mixed in with the bandits, taking advantage of everyone's contempt for the bandits to make a profit.

Facts have proved that the other party did this successfully. Using this mentality, they confused everyone, including the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao.

Their initial underestimation of the enemy and reckless advance caused them to pay a heavy price and suffer heavy losses.

The Tongye Grand Scholar still wanted to ask the Supreme Elder Yinqiao if he wanted to send someone. This was still within the territory of the Baoshu Clan, so it was no problem to send someone.

However, these questions really cannot be asked in public.

After thinking about it, he held it back.

Grand Elder Yin Qiao glanced at Scholar Yun Geng and ordered, "Yun Geng, you and this hydraulic engineer, you two will be responsible for helping to guard the teleportation array. Make sure that the teleportation array is not attacked. As long as the teleportation array is not damaged, we don't have to worry about anything."

Yun Geng was about to nod his head to accept the order, but then he said, "Lord Yin Qiao, the enemy is powerful, they will definitely target the teleportation array. The water engineer and I are going to guard it, but I'm afraid we are still a little outnumbered."

He was really scared. Thinking of the enemy's magical powers and strange fighting power, he felt that two people were really not safe. If they really encountered a few powerful enemies, what use would two people be? Expecting the escort team's conventional fighting power to fight against those mysterious masters was purely wishful thinking.

Let's not talk about anything else. Just kill the genius opponent of the Nine-Tailed Clan. No matter how many regular teams there are, it will be useless. Even if we fill it with hundreds of people, it will still be a waste of time.

Grand Secretary Yin Qiao thought about it and felt that what Grand Secretary Yun Geng said made sense.

He glanced at the Tongye Grand Scholar and said, "Well, Deputy Commander Tongye, you select four more people, together with the Yun Geng Grand Scholar and the Hydraulic Grand Scholar, to guard the teleportation array. I don't want a verbal guarantee. I only want to say one thing, the teleportation array must not go wrong!"

The Grand Secretary of Tongye was cursing in his heart. He didn't want to do this hard job for which he would most likely be held responsible, but a higher-ranking official could crush a person. Since the other person was the commander-in-chief, it was only natural for him to give orders to the deputy commander-in-chief.

"it is good."

In addition to Yin Qiao and Tong Ye, their team had selected a total of eighteen people. Four of them had already died, so there were actually fourteen people left.

Tongye took away four, and if Jiang Yue, the Bachelor of Hydraulic Engineering, was subtracted, there would only be nine team members left for Grand Secretary Yinqiao.

"Sir, this way..."

"I will lead the team, and the remaining nine people will follow my command. I want to see what kind of sacredness you have that you dare to act wildly in front of me."

As the ancestor of the Baoshu clan, the strength of the Supreme Elder Yin Qiao is absolutely unfathomable, but his temper is also hot.

A great man like this would not have been able to achieve his current status if he did not have enough ambition. He must be a person with extremely high ambition.

The repeated setbacks nowadays have indeed aroused the ambition and fighting spirit of Supreme Elder Yin Qiao, which has not yet aged.

No matter who the enemy is, Supreme Elder Yin Qiao is clearly planning to give it a hard fight.

The Grand Secretary Tongye vaguely saw the potential crisis, but his greatest advantage was that he knew what it meant to judge the situation and what to say at the right time.

In this situation, if he was not tactful enough to spoil the fun and stop Supreme Elder Yin Qiao from showing off his power, the scene would be very awkward and he might even be embarrassed by the old man.

Why bother to be the first to come forward? Just listen to the arrangements. I'm just going to get by anyway, so why not?
Scholar Tongye pointed at four teammates, then said to Scholar Yungeng and Jiang Yue: "The teleportation formation is of great importance. No matter what ideas or disagreements you six had before, I hope that from now on, you must put aside all prejudices, forget your previous identities and status, cooperate sincerely, and treat yourself as a chess piece in the plan, and place it wherever it is needed. Whatever you are told to do, you must execute it without reservation!"

In front of Supreme Elder Yin Qiao, these people dared not act wildly and nodded in agreement one after another.

Supreme Elder Yin Qiao was very satisfied with the attitude of Grand Scholar Tongye, and secretly felt that it was the right choice to let Grand Scholar Tongye be his deputy and keep him by his side to serve him.

Look at Tongye's execution ability, it is not ambiguous at all. Even the special medicine incident made everyone think that Tongye's title of Grand Secretary with Purple Gold Ribbon was a bit watered down, and many people looked down on him.

But at this moment, Supreme Elder Yin Qiao felt that such a copper coconut was also good. At least its execution ability was online and its attitude was correct.

If it was Grand Secretary Linghua or any other Grand Secretary with a purple gold ribbon, I'm afraid that they would be considered not inferior to him, the ancestor of the Baoshu clan, in terms of rank, and would have some reservations about listening to his orders, and it would be difficult for them to carry out the orders without fail and 100%.

Grand Secretary Tongye led the team away, and the remaining nine people, facing the majesty of Grand Secretary Yinqiao, were also very cautious and did not dare to show any arrogance.

"Tell me, how do you plan to fight this battle? Do you have any ideas?"

Supreme Elder Yin Qiao did not speak harshly anymore, but instead expressed some encouragement, changing his previous stern attitude and putting on a different face.

Someone thought for a moment and said, "Master Yin Qiao, I still say the same thing. Since our whereabouts have been exposed, we must consider the concealment of our actions. If our goal has long been known, then is it really necessary to continue this operation? Is it possible that the enemy has prepared and directly set a trap for us to fall into?"

This person is brave enough to speak out. At least his words are straightforward and he is not evasive.

Grand Elder Yin Qiao was not annoyed, but looked at the others: "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"

"I agree with him. Our whereabouts have been exposed. We must find out the reason for the exposure. We need to find out how much the enemy knows, where they are from, and why they are trying to stop us."

Someone else held a different opinion: "Sir, I have a different view. I think the enemy may have planned this in advance, but they may not be targeting our surface decapitation plan."

"Oh? What makes you so sure?"

The man said, "The brother said earlier that the enemy was prepared and set a trap for us. In fact, this is not a trap, and the enemy did not arrange any ambush here. The enemy followed us all the way here, which means that the enemy did not predict our whereabouts and did not know where we were going. Even if the enemy knew our destination, if they wanted to set a trap for us, shouldn't they wait until we passed the teleportation formation and reached the surface world?"

"This is our territory, the territory of the Baoshu tribe. We can call for help at any time. How unwise is it to ambush us in our territory?"

"If it were the surface world, and they were to ambush us after we passed through the teleportation formation, wouldn't that be more advantageous and destructive? After all, we would be alone deep in their territory, and if we were ambushed, we would most likely be helpless."

"Even if they can't set up an ambush on the surface, there's no need for them to attack us now. Why don't they wait until we start teleporting and attack us halfway across the river?"

"In summary, I feel that the enemy may not be simple, and may even be targeting us. But I absolutely do not believe that they know all the inside stories."

What this person said is reasonable and well-founded.

If the enemy knows all the inside information, launching an attack now is definitely not the best option, and it can even be said to be a very stupid option.

Even those who had previously firmly believed that the beheading plan had been exposed could not find any better arguments to refute it after listening to this man's analysis.

At this time, someone else said, "Since we are still unclear about the exact situation, I think the next step is to do our best to destroy the enemy, kill them, and then capture a few people alive. Then we will naturally figure out the situation. It is better than just guessing here."

It’s no wonder that this person’s views have aroused the widest resonance.

They were already at a disadvantage in the intrigue, so they simply used force to defeat their opponents and destroy them with strength, making all their conspiracies in vain.

Supreme Elder Yin Qiao was very pleased; this was the attitude he wanted to see.

Things have already happened. If there is no other way, then just use force to solve it. The Supreme Elder Yin Qiao, who stands at the top of the Earth's core world, wants this effect.

……

The Tongye Grand Scholar brought six people and soon arrived at the teleportation array area. At this moment, there were only a few array masters working hard in the teleportation array area. They were debugging the array and placing the spiritual stones needed for the array to operate.

There is a rule for how to place the spirit stones. First, you must understand how the formation works, how the formation lines are carved, and how to place the spirit stones in the required positions according to these lines.

If the spirit stones are not placed in place, the formation will definitely not be able to start. And the amount of spirit stones must be sufficient, otherwise, when the formation is halfway through, it will suddenly stop, which will cause great trouble.

Seeing the Tongye Grand Secretary and others coming over, the formation master in charge of debugging thought they were here to supervise the formation, and greeted them nervously, saying humbly: "Sir, give us another hour, and the formation will be able to operate normally. Now it has entered the debugging stage. Although the formation has not been running for a long time, this place is relatively hidden and no one usually comes here, so it is well preserved..."

The Tongye Grand Secretary was not here to listen to this nonsense. He waved his hand and said, "No need to say this. Just do it as soon as possible. I am not here to rush you, but to protect you."

"Protection?" The formation master was a little surprised.

"Well, the enemy is coming, and they may target the teleportation array. But you don't have to worry about that, we will take care of it."
