Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 400: Ning Tianchen's Thoughts; Infiltrating Barak City

The Shrek Five Monsters stopped and walked along the way, constantly inquiring about the situation on the mainland.

Although the two empires are still exercising restraint, the situation is no longer the same as when they left.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, there will be no fight for the crown prince in the Xingluo court, which will be disadvantageous to Dai Mubai.

If Davis continues to make military achievements during the war, Dai Mubai will completely lose the possibility of inheriting the throne.

But how can the strength and status of Tang San and others influence the situation on the mainland?
Right now, all they can do is to recruit the Dragon Snake Family as soon as possible, strengthen the Tang Sect's momentum, and complete the fifth test of the Sea God first.

If the situation gets worse in the future, we can only wait until he completes the nine tests and inherits the throne of Poseidon!

The Barak Kingdom is now under the control of the Spirit Hall, and the carriages of the Shrek Five Devils cannot enter it through ordinary official roads.

But this does not pose a problem for the clever Tang San.

Taking advantage of the night and relying on Tang San's flying ability, the Shrek Five Devils entered the territory of the Barak Kingdom one by one.

A few days later, they arrived at the city of Barak.

The defense of Barak City was impregnable, and outsiders were strictly controlled. The Shrek Five Devils could not find a way to enter the city in a short period of time, so they had to set up camp outside the city and observe the loopholes in the city's patrols.

Bai He, who was following behind them, decided not to follow them anymore after receiving the news from Ning Fengzhi.

Firstly, he could not get any more useful information from the Shrek Five Monsters. Secondly, the Dragon Snake Family was not enough to change the situation on the continent, and the Heaven Sword Sect and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect were not very interested in them.

After absorbing the Dragon Snake Family, the Tang Sect could only grow into a medium-sized sect at best. The gap between it and the top three sects such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect was not even a little bit.

Besides, the Tang Sect is located in the territory of the Xing Luo Empire and does not overlap with their sphere of influence, so there is no need to fight them to the death.

Just as Ning Fengzhi said, the Tang Sect might be the vanguard force (cannon fodder) against the Spirit Hall in the future. They don't need to suppress it, and they can even provide some help.

Outside Barak.

After several days without a suitable opportunity to infiltrate, Dai Mubai gradually became impatient.

"What's going on in the Barak Kingdom? There are few border battles, but they are imposing wartime martial law!"

The city of Barak is located in the heart of the kingdom, and the combat effectiveness of the Barak Kingdom’s army is among the best on the continent. There is no reason for them to impose martial law in the capital, right?
Of course, with their intelligence capabilities, they didn't know that the Spirit Hall had already taken control of the Barak Kingdom.

I just think King Barak is simply mentally ill.

The capital of a country is related to the face of the country. Imposing such a high level of martial law, are they afraid that the merchants in the city will not flee?

Tang San frowned, equally confused.

"It has already happened, there is no point in complaining. Mu Bai, at night, try to stay close to the city wall and look for more loopholes."

"With such a high level of martial law in place in the city, there must be a gap near the city wall to facilitate the nobles and merchants in the city to enter and exit the city."

“The only way we can get in safely is to look for these vulnerabilities.”

It’s not that he didn’t want to fly into the city at night, but the martial law in the city was too strict.

It was fine during the day, but at night, there were soldiers patrolling every street in the city, and soul-guided searchlights were constantly patrolling the sky. Once discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

Relatively speaking, it was easier to enter the city during the day. But in broad daylight, if someone fell from the sky, the citizens were not blind, and once they found out, they would immediately report it to the police.

Yu Tianxin said in a deep voice: "There are also several teams patrolling outside the city at night. It may not be easy for us to get close to the city wall."

After a pause, he asked uncertainly, "Under such circumstances, will the Dragon Snake Family still stay in Barak City? Is it possible that they have already left?"

Tang San had the same guess, but now they had no choice.

The Tang Clan's intelligence department has very limited capabilities, and it is difficult to search for intelligence within the Xing Luo Empire, let alone within the Barak Kingdom.

Moreover, when they left the Tang Sect two years ago, they did not instruct them to gather intelligence on the Dragon Snake Family.

If we go back now and start exploring from the beginning, we don’t know how long it will take.

Since they are here, they can investigate the situation. Even if the Dragon Snake Family is not in Barak City, after entering the city, they can find out where they are by asking around.

"We have to get into the city anyway."

"Everyone listen to me"

……

maritime.

The Manta was sailing at a very fast speed.

During this period, Ning Tianchen digested the insights of Shura's divine power, and his soul power level successfully broke through to level eighty-nine.

Level ninety is the biggest obstacle for soul masters to break through. It takes at least a year to cross this threshold.

In the following time, Ning Tianchen was not in a hurry to break through, he had a new idea.

There are countless hundred thousand year old soul beasts in the sea, and among them, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is the most powerful.

The strength of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is close to a million years, and it is only one step away from becoming a divine beast.

However, due to the restrictions of the rules of the divine world, he could never take this step. Even if he began the heavenly tribulation after becoming a god, only death would be waiting for him.

For Ning Tianchen, who is at level 89, if a soul beast sacrifices itself to him, he can directly break through to the Titled Douluo level.

The object of sacrifice he wanted was none other than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

With a million-year soul ring attached to the Seven Kill Sword, the power of the ninth soul skill will surely destroy the world.

Furthermore, in the case of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, it is much easier to persuade than other soul beasts.

He is not the successor of the Sea God, and there is no grudge between the Asura God and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. The Sea God acts dirty, and there is a big grudge between him and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

This provided Ning Tianchen with the possibility to convince the other party.

With an idea in mind, Ning Tianchen discussed the next route with Chen Haobai.

"Dear guest, are you sure you want to go to the Demon Whale Sea?" Chen Haobai frowned when he heard the other party's words.

The Manta's route would never pass through the Magic Whale area.

For every navigator, the Demon Whale Sea is an absolute restricted area and they will never cross there unless it is necessary.

Of course, if the Deep Sea Demon Whale King falls into a deep sleep and the ship sails in the sea area where he is blind, it is absolutely safe.

But who would bet on whether the Deep Sea Demon Whale King has fallen into a deep sleep?
If you dance on the edge of a knife, one day the blade will bite you back!
Ning Tianchen added: "The Manta does not need to enter the Demon Whale Sea Area. When you arrive at the sea area, just drop me off. Leave the rest to me."

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King has nearly a million years of cultivation experience. If converted into the strength of a human soul master, it has reached the peak level of a quasi-god.

Faced with such a terrifying existence, Ning Tianchen would certainly not let others take risks with him.

"This..." Chen Haobai hesitated. After thinking for a moment, he continued: "My dear guest, I have to tell you that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King under the Demon Whale Sea is the most terrifying existence in the sea. Any human soul beast or soul beast who tries to fight with it will end up being killed."

"You are indeed very powerful, but facing such an existence, I am afraid..."

Ning Tianchen suddenly smiled, "Relax, I'm not going to challenge him, nor will I fight him. You don't need to know the rest, just send me there."

Chen Haobai sighed and finally agreed.

However, he also had a condition, which was that this matter needed the consent of Ning Rongrong and others.

Of course, he wanted to take this opportunity to have Ning Rongrong and others persuade Ning Tianchen not to take the risk.

But how could Ning Rongrong and the others stop Ning Tianchen from doing what he decided? Moreover, Ning Tianchen had already estimated the success rate in his mind, and he would not do anything without any chance of success.

……

In front of Barak City, after nearly half a month of exploration, the Shrek Five Monsters finally found a route into the city.

Barak City is not Soto City, and it does not produce grain itself. With such a martial law in place, how dare grain merchants from other places come here?

Assuming that the war has not spread here, once the city runs out of food, it will inevitably cause riots and unrest.

In order to maintain order in the city, the city of Barak left a separate grain transportation channel, and grain trucks would drive into the city every few days.

After figuring out the pattern, Tang San and the others immediately came up with an idea.

Tang San said: "The next grain transport vehicle will arrive this evening. Following the grain transport vehicle convoy is our only hope to enter the city."

Dai Mubai wiped his neck and said, "We will look for grain trucks along the way, and then take the opportunity to blend into the convoy."

Tang San shook his head, "Mu Bai, there is no need for us to do this."

After all, Barak City is the capital of a country, and many businessmen and nobles have their businesses and families in the city.

Merchants and nobles are not short of money. Since they cannot enter the city themselves, they will definitely use these grain transport convoys to achieve their purpose of entering and exiting the city.

Therefore, they did not need to kill anyone at all. They could just spend money to bribe the officer in charge of transporting grain and enter the city smoothly.

For Tang San, he didn't want to spend money casually if he could solve the problem by killing people, after all, they were not rich. But they had no idea about the situation of the grain transport team, and if they killed the wrong person and got into trouble, it would be difficult to enter the city again.

Yu Tianheng agreed: "Tang San is right. In the current situation, spending money is indeed more appropriate than killing people."

"Follow me." Tang San called to everyone.

After observing for a period of time, he discovered the route the grain convoy took.

Arriving at the official road twenty miles outside the city, Tang San keenly discovered that the hotels around the official road were almost full of people.

These people either came to hijack the grain trucks or had the same idea as them.

Of course, robbing a grain truck is obviously unrealistic. The food on the truck is not enough for ten people to eat for half a month, but if the robbers rob the entire convoy, they must be crazy.

The grain transport convoy stretched for several kilometers. After the grain was hijacked, it would be discovered sooner or later while being transported. This place was so close to Barak City that the guards would soon chase and support it.

Unless the bandits were starving to death, no one would think of attacking the grain transport convoy.

Sure enough, when the Shrek Five Monsters entered an inn to rest, they noticed the situation inside the inn.

Most of the guests were dressed as businessmen and were obviously not vicious criminals.

Excluding the possibility of robbing the grain trucks, these people must have the same idea as them.

Yu Tianxin was annoyed, "We left too hastily when we came here, otherwise we wouldn't have to wait for half a month."

Tang San whispered: "Shh, the situation is unclear, don't reveal our purpose, so as not to be deceived!"

Yu Tianxin immediately fell silent.

However, what he said just now still attracted the attention of the man at the next table.

This middle-aged man dressed as a businessman sat at the small table of the Shrek Five Monsters in a familiar manner and said with a smile: "Hello, are you going the same way?"

Tang San frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Sir, we have never met before, how can we say we are on the same path?"

The man bowed to the Shrek Five Monsters and introduced himself: "My name is Hilton, and I'm the president of the Hilton Chamber of Commerce."

Hilton Chamber of Commerce is an influential chamber of commerce in the city of Barak.

However, Tang San and others had never lived in Barak City and were not very familiar with this Chamber of Commerce.

Hilton continued, "To be honest, our Chamber of Commerce is participating in this grain transport convoy. If you are interested, you can pay to go into the city with me."

Hilton simply wanted to attract some customers. After all, the Hilton Chamber of Commerce had spent a lot of money in order to bid for this grain transportation mission. Only by bringing more people into the city could he make some money.

Of course, they couldn't just transport grain. How much profit could be made from grain? Was it worth all the trouble? Under the guise of transporting grain, they would certainly transport other supplies.

Tang San didn't understand the other party's situation, and asked in a low voice: "How can I trust you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked into the hotel and took the initiative to bow to Hilton and said, "President Hilton, Wang wants to come in. Please name a price."

Hilton said enthusiastically: "One hundred gold soul coins per person, and you must change into escort uniforms."

The man paid the money readily, and Hilton gave him a note, which was his ticket to enter the convoy.

Tang San saw that there was a chance, so he asked, "How much do we five want?"

He was not worried about being cheated. With his strength, if someone dared to cheat him of his money, it would be a death sentence.

Hilton pretended to be regretful and said, "You can only enter the city with 100 gold soul coins if you are introduced by someone or are an old customer. If there is no introduction, it will cost 150 gold soul coins."

Tang San sneered and said, "We entered the city to complete the task assigned by Sect Leader Ning. Why, Sect Leader Ning's name is not famous enough?"

Hilton was shocked and quickly confirmed: "Which Sect Master Ning is it?"

Tang San asked back: "Is there any other Ning Sect Master in the world?"

Ning Fengzhi was extremely famous on the mainland, and Tang San had never expected that leveraging his fame would bring about such good results.

Hilton's business already had an intersection with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, so naturally he was willing to give Ning Fengzhi this favor.

Of course, in his impression, no one dared to impersonate the name of the leader of the three sects, so he instinctively chose to believe Tang San.

He did not charge a penny, and when the grain transport convoy arrived near the inn, he even personally led the Shrek Five Monsters into the convoy.

When the grain transport convoy arrived at the grain transport channel in Barak City, the guards only symbolically checked the first few grain trucks, and after confirming that they were grain, they let them pass directly.

As for those fat and pot-bellied "escorts" in the grain transport convoy, the guards turned a blind eye to them and did not check their identities at all.

The Shrek Five Monsters entered the city so easily.
