C633 Dive in Again
Nie Zhen said this in a staccato manner. He was still in a bit of a sorry state when he said it, but it actually increased the credibility of his words.1
Commander Zhou frowned and said in a deep voice, "How many people attacked you?" It could actually cause your group to almost be annihilated?! "
Nie Zhen pretended to be angry and said: "Only three people attacked us …"
"Three people?! Just three people and you're all dead, and even Steward Shaw is beaten to the point where his death is unknown?! " Commander Zhou was stunned as he spoke with a hint of sternness in his tone.
"That's right... But accurately speaking, these three are not humans, but three spirit beasts. Their cultivation are all at the Origin Stage level, and one of them is even stronger than Steward Shaw … " Nie Zhen answered honestly.
"Reporting to Commander Zhou, these three spirit beasts came to our side of the battlefield last night. Originally, we could barely resist them, but once these three spirit beasts joined in, the situation became extremely grim, and one of the spirit beasts' cultivation was at the fifth stage of the Origin Stage. Steward Zhu and I worked together to defend ourselves, only then were we barely able to escape, presumably because these three beasts came to our side after they wiped out Steward Shaw's camp."
With Steward Tang as a witness, Nie Zhen's words were basically confirmed as correct.
Nie Zhen added: "It's these three vile spawn that suddenly attacked our faction. On one side, they chased Steward Shaw away, and on the other hand, the other two crazily attacked us. Even Origin Stage cultivators might not be able to save their own lives …"
At this time, Steward Zhu looked at Nie Zhen and asked, "Since the situation is so dangerous, how did you brothers escape? It can't be that you ran away right before the battle and left before Steward Shaw gave the order to retreat, right?! "
Nie Zhen's face revealed an expression of humiliation, and said with grief and indignation, "Commander Zhou, although we were born as rogue cultivators, but we still know to abide by the rules. If it wasn't for Steward Shaw's order, we definitely wouldn't have run away without permission.
Steward Zhu laughed and said, "Now that Steward Shaw is not here, we don't even know if he's alive or dead. Of course, you can say whatever you want."
Nie Zhen deliberately revealed a wronged expression and explained in grief, "I have no choice but to say this, but I know that Steward Shaw might not have really died when he escaped. Besides, other than us three brothers, there's also someone else who escaped. But I want to say one more thing. If we're really going to back off, why would the three of us come back? Even if we didn't come back, no one would know, right? My third brother still hasn't received any news, and doesn't even know if he is dead or alive. Why would we need to come here and be questioned?! "
"He said that it's unknown whether he's dead or alive, but boss …" "I'm afraid it's not going to be easy for third brother. Those who can't escape in that kind of environment will definitely not be able to …" Gui Gui also had a sorrowful look on his face.
Now that Steward Shaw's team had been completely annihilated, it was useless to pursue the matter with Nie Zhen. He waved his hand and said, "Hey, Steward Zhu, these three people are still fighting and trying to rush out of the encirclement to report the news. I think they're not people who will retreat before the battle, otherwise they won't have the face to come back. Everyone should be united now, so don't suspect each other."
Since Commander Zhou had already said so, Steward Zhu naturally wouldn't say anything more. After all, he only wanted to show off in front of Commander Zhou at first, so he didn't really have any personal grudges with Nie Zhen.
Wu Tie said in a deep voice, "According to the three Zhen Nie brothers, the Hundred Frost Nie Family is much stronger than we originally estimated, which resulted in our surprise attack being thwarted. They even had the strength to split up their troops to deal with Steward Shaw while they were dealing with our surprise attack, showing that the Hundred Frost Nie Family is indeed a tough nut to crack … It must be said that it was my fault to make such a grave mistake in predicting the strength of Hundred Frostbite Nie Family. "
Commander Zhou wasn't the kind of person who couldn't afford to lose, so he put the blame on himself.
Hearing Commander Zhou's words, Steward Tang immediately said: "How can this be considered as your fault, Commander Zhou, the judgement on the Hundred Frost Nie Family's trump card was discussed and decided by us at that time. If we were to speak about negligence, that is also our problem, no one expected that the Hundred Frost Nie Family would actually hide so many cards."
At this time, Steward Zhu stood out and said: "Commander Zhou, this Hundred Frost Nie Family has suddenly erupted with such powerful strength, tell me … Could it be that Nie Family headquarters has sent experts to support them? "
Nie Family Headquarters?!
Hearing these words, everyone present was shocked. If Nie Family headquarters were to intervene, then they would really withdraw as soon as possible, and even though this group of people were clamoring to eliminate Hundred Frost Nie Family, they knew that the moment Nie Family headquarters intervened, the group of people in front of them would definitely not be a match for Nie Family.
"Hiss …" No way... Didn't they hear that under the pincer attack of several other great forces, the status of one's Nie Clan was in danger? Where the f * ck did you get the energy to support the Hundred Frostbite Nie Family? " Steward Tang gasped and frowned.
Steward Zhu retorted: "As to how dangerous Nie Clan is, none of us know, and several large families haven't engaged in an all-out war yet, so it's not like we don't have enough people from the Nie Clan to take a walk around the Hundred Frostbite Nie Family, furthermore, the Hundred Feet Worm isn't stiff even if it's dead. Even if the Nie Clan isn't a match for those several large powers, it's still very easy to take care of us …"
At this time, Commander Zhou waved his hand and said: "I personally do not think that Nie Family Headquarters will send anyone to intervene. It's not because of their lack of strength, but in the end, Nie Clan is the entire Xuanyuan Divine Kingdom, and the ones fighting against them are all forces like the ten great sects. To put it bluntly, although the Hundred Frost Nie Family is a branch of the Nie Clan, if we want to attract people from the Nie Clan to intervene, the Hundred Frost Nie Family is not qualified enough, so let's not scare ourselves anymore. "
Commander Zhou's words were very reasonable. It wasn't that his Nie Clan didn't have that kind of strength, but rather that his Baishuang City and mere Hundred Frost Nie Family didn't enter his eyes at all.
However, Commander Zhou thought for a while and said: "Although the powers who assigned us this mission will also observe whether or not there are any people who are involved in Baishuang City, we have to finish it quickly, otherwise, if we drag this on for too long, we might be able to make sure that there are a few people who are involved in Nie Clan. Everyone understands?"
"Commander Zhou is wise!" Everyone in the tent quickly spoke up.
