Lei Xingfeng said, “When did it happen?”

“A hundred years ago,” said Ai Qi, “I was a Restriction apprentice.”

A hundred years! Lei Xingfeng guessed, “In that battle, the Mingze Alliance should have lost a lot of manpower, right?”

Ai Qi said without any vigilance, “Yes, many high-level cultivators have died in the headquarters of the Mingze Alliance. For this reason, it was kept a secret for a long time, and it was only in the last ten years that they finally recovered.”

Sure enough, Lei Xingfeng thought to himself. In the past hundred years, the branches and leaves were probably already stronger than the branches and trunks. No wonder they consumed so many cultivators from the controlled sects. This was to prevent their sects from growing stronger and to affect the status and control of the Mingze Alliance. This explained why the Mingze Alliance was so reckless in launching a continental war and consuming a large number of cultivators.

Perhaps this was also the reason why Restraint Hall’s status was so high. Lei Xingfeng asked, “With so many casualties in this war, will the Mingze Alliance’s vitality be greatly damaged?”

Ai Qi smiled and said, “The ones who have suffered heavy casualties are the sects below. No matter how many of them die, they will not have much impact on the headquarters of the Mingze Alliance. Furthermore, it will not be long before they recover within a few decades.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “Old Ai, you should have passed this time, right?”

Ai Qi immediately said happily, “Definitely, haha, absolutely pass. I believe that Lord Qingyan should have nothing to say!”

Lei Xingfeng thought to himself, “If Lord Qing Yan comes over and asks you to control the tower once, you will be exposed.” He wouldn’t say that. He just smiled and said, “That’s good. It’s best to be fine. Haha.”

Ai Qi said, “I think I’ve retreated!”

Only then did Lei Xingfeng realize that the cultivators had retreated in a chaotic manner.

The tower attack has stopped. Someone has come to inform Lei Xingfeng and Ai Qi to return.

The two of them quickly arrived at the command hall. Only then did Lei Xingfeng realize that this attack did not seem to be going smoothly. There were quite a few injured cultivators. The entire command hall was in a mess, and the crowd was boiling with noise. It was as if they were talking about the problem with this attack. However, it was irrelevant and Lei Xingfeng did not care too much about it.

A moment later, Ai Na and another Monarch level expert entered. Lei Xingfeng discovered that this Monarch level expert seemed to be injured and his face was rather pale. After he sat down, he remained silent and just closed his eyes to rest.

Ai Na clapped his hands and the surroundings immediately quieted down.

“Alright, let’s cut the crap. We’ve lost this attack. The entire line has been routed!”

Ai Na’s face turned ashen as he said, “Of course, we did our best. However, some of them actually retreated without any orders! All of them, capture them and send them to the death squad! In the next attack, they will be at the forefront. If they fail, they will die on the frontlines!”

The entire hall was extremely quiet. Only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard as Ai Na said, “The responsibility for this retreat is not entirely ours. The frontlines on the side collapsed first, so they implicated us. Therefore, the headquarters should not punish us! But next time, this situation is absolutely not allowed! We must attack with all our might!”

Ai Na’s roar continued. Lei Xingfeng and Ai Qi chatted in a low voice. Neither of them cared about the victory or defeat of the army. As long as they did their job well, the other things had nothing to do with them.

Lei Xingfeng said, “Old Ai, how long are we going to stay here this time?”

Ai Qi said, “Who knows? Maybe a few days, maybe a dozen days, maybe … a very long time. It depends on whether we can get in or not. As long as we win, we can leave.”

‘”It won’t take long!” Said Lei Xingfeng.

Ai Qi hurriedly said, “Brother, you can’t let go! It’s all up to you. Brother, you must help!”

Lei Xingfeng muttered, “That’s not what I said back then. It was just that I was allowed to set up the Restriction. How did it become that I was here to guard the tower?”

Ai Qi smiled and said, “Brother, I didn’t know it was like this. Continue to help, brother!”

After knocking him a little, Lei Xingfeng said, “Well, since it’s already this far, let’s continue.”

Ai Qi patted Lei Xingfeng’s shoulder and said, “Brother, don’t worry, I won’t treat you badly!”

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “I hope it will end soon. It won’t be good to drag it out.”

Ai Qi recognized the meaning behind Lei Xingfeng’s words and said, “What’s wrong?”

“How long do you think the outsiders will be able to endure this kind of blow? They must have broken through. This area should be sealed off, right? Something like Lei Xingfeng should not be able to activate,” said Mystery Sect.

“Of course,” said Ai Qi. “Otherwise, they would have run away long ago.”

Lei Xingfeng said, “If they want to break out of the encirclement, I hope they don’t choose us!”

Ai Qi smiled and said, “How is that possible? Such a big encirclement, no matter what choice you make, it can’t be ours, right?”

Ai Na was redistributing the tasks. He assigned the tasks one by one and said, “Xiao Qi, are you clear about your tasks?”

Lei Xingfeng gave Ai Qi a hard stab before he reacted and said, “Clear!”

Ai Na nodded his head in satisfaction, “Next attack, wait for notification. However, let me remind you, once again, we must strive to achieve our goal. We must not slack off in the slightest. Without an order to retreat, even if we die, we must die on the frontlines!”

Ai Qi whispered, “Brother, what did Eldest Uncle say just now?”

Lei Xingfeng rolled his eyes. This fellow didn’t listen at all. Fortunately, he agreed so straightforwardly. Those who didn’t know thought that he knew his mission very well.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll just hear it.”

Lei Xingfeng despised this fellow in his heart, and his thoughts weren’t here at all.

The mission just now was very simple, It was to stay on the tower to control the attack. However, there was one more small task. It was to command the tower’s attack when the enemy released their true bodies. Once a Monarch level expert released their true bodies, the attack power was extremely terrifying. They had to be controlled by Monarch level experts, or else they would cause a large number of casualties.

Therefore, once an enemy revealed his true body, gathering fire and attacking immediately became the common knowledge of cultivators.

At the same time, Ai Na also praised Ai Qi. Of course, he knew that this was the tower controlled by Lei Xingfeng. He praised Ai Qi because he wanted Ai Qi to obtain battle capital.

Lei Xingfeng didn’t care, anyway, it was enough to last for this period of time.

After the meeting ended, Ai Na left behind Lei Xingfeng and Ai Qi. The other cultivators also knew about the relationship between Ai Qi and Ai Na. In the Mingze Alliance, everyone knew that it was very important for you to have backgrounds and scenery. If you had backgrounds, scenery, connections, and support from the higher ups, your development would definitely be very good.

The Monarch level expert beside Ai Na had already left. He was in a hurry to return to heal his injuries, and the others had also retreated.

Ai Qi and Lei Xingfeng came to Ai Na’s side.

Ai Na said, “Xiao Qi, Feng, be smart in the next battle. Do you understand?”

Ai Qi could not understand at all. He said, “Eldest Uncle, I have always been very careful and clever!”

When Lei Xingfeng heard this, he knew that there was a problem. He said, “Your Excellency, you mean …” He stared at Ai Na.

Ai Na sighed to himself. In comparison, Ai Qi and Lei Xingfeng were not even close. The child was not alert at all. He said, “If the situation isn’t right, be smart yourself, understand?” He emphasized the last two words.

Lei Xingfeng was suddenly shocked. This was a Sovereign King level expert, and he led so many cultivators. He actually didn’t have confidence in the war? He understood what was going on and said, “Understood. All I need to do is control the tower’s Restriction. If I can’t do it, I have another move. However, I need some materials.”

“Oh, what do you want?” Said Ai Na with interest.

“I will set up three more explosive Lei Xingfeng,” said Restriction.

Ai Na immediately understood, Lei Xingfeng really understood, he said: “No problem, how many materials, you give me a list, the next attack, about ten days later.” He lowered his voice and said, “I won’t say anything else. Remember, if there’s a problem …” He glanced at Ai Qi.

Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Don’t worry, I will take Old Ai with me.”

Ai Qi was completely confused. He looked at Lei Xingfeng and then at Ai Na. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Uncle, brother, what are you talking about?”

Ai Na sighed in his heart, but he said gently, “Nothing. You just need to listen to A-Feng. Don’t ask anything else.”

Ai Qi said dejectedly, Although he couldn’t understand the conversation between the two of them, because he didn’t have his own thoughts about the whole situation and didn’t understand it, he wasn’t a fool. On the contrary, he was a rather smart fellow. Since Eldest Uncle said so, then he should follow suit. In any case, he didn’t have any ambitions. It was good that he could live well. He said, “Yes, Eldest Uncle.”

Lei Xingfeng probed, “My lord, do they … have reinforcements?”

“No need to guess,” said Ai Na. “It’s best if you’re fine. I just told you to prepare in advance so you wouldn’t be in a rush.”

However, Lei Xingfeng did not think so. If he was able to make Ai Na prepare to retreat, then the attack just now would definitely be in big trouble.

Lei Xingfeng quickly made a list and handed it to Ai Na. “At least five copies,” he said.

“Don’t worry,” said Ai Na. “I’ll send someone over tomorrow. Alright, you guys go. I have other things to deal with.”

Lei Xingfeng and Ai Qi retreated and returned to the tower.

Ai Qi then asked, “Brother, what did you say to Eldest Uncle just now? Why can’t I understand?”

“We’re going to retreat,” Lei Xingfeng said.

Ai Qi said in shock, “What? What did you say? How, how is this possible?”

Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said, “Although I don’t know why, the message your uncle sent me is that we are going to retreat!”
