Chapter 6360
6360 What’s our ranking?
It was a pity that he didn’t get any useful information until the start of the competition. He could only bring Lin Yi and the others to the competition for the route.
“Torrent city?” Lin Yi was a bit surprised when he saw the name-ao Tianba had told him to meet up at the port, so he didn’t know where the city was.
When he saw it, he was shocked to find that he had arrived at the enemy’s lair!
Wasn’t torrent city the territory of Qian Xiaodong, the man he had killed? There was also Yu Ziqing from yeyue city, who was also a disciple of Western prosperity Academy. In that case, yeyue city should not be too far away, and the Western prosperity Academy where Gong Linzhou was located should be near these two cities.
“Brother Lin, you don’t have to worry. We’re only borrowing the territory of torrent city for this Festival. The Qian clan won’t have the guts to make a move at this time.” Ao Tianba clearly understood what Lin Yi was thinking-they’d all been through the battle on the northernmost Island, after all, and Lin Yi didn’t hide anything from ao Tianba, Qian Xiaodong, and Yu Ziqing.
However, ao Tianba really didn’t think much of the Qian family of torrent city. In the Golden class Sea area, the strongest force was the Academy. More than 80% of the people in the city were people with low cultivation bases and ordinary aptitudes, who had no qualifications to enter the academy.
As for the remaining twenty percent, most of them would find a school to join. So, the strength of a normal city Lord was at the beginning stage, and those who could reach the earth formation stage were as rare as Phoenix Feathers and Qilin horns. The Masters in the city naturally wouldn’t be stronger than the city Lord. With ao Tianba and Lin Yi’s strength, and with Zhang jinmiao on the side, even without the protection of the assembly, they weren’t people the Qian family could easily mess with.
“The Qian family might not have the strength, but they have the financial resources. We can’t let down our guard!” Lin Yi nodded and replied to ao Tianba.
He was now considering whether the assassins from hidden death sect were hired by the people of torrent city. Perhaps it was a joint effort by torrent city and night Moon City. Although their strength could not be compared to the various Academies, in terms of wealth, the ruler of a city would always be richer than the Academy.
If hidden death sect was really hired by flowing city, then the assassin who had disappeared after shooting the arrow might still appear here. They could not let their guard down.
“You’re right, brother Lin. We’ll be more careful!” Ao Tianba nodded and casually added, but it was obvious that he didn’t think much of it.
Lin Yi didn’t tell ao Tianba about the assassin at the school, so it was understandable that he didn’t think much of it.
Lin Yi didn’t tell ao Tianba about this because he didn’t want him to be distracted. After all, attending the conference was the most important thing for him right now, and if he were to be distracted by the assassins, he’d only worsen the already disadvantageous situation.
After entering the city, Lin Yi spread out his spirit sense. The Assassin’s target was him, and it didn’t matter if ao Tianba didn’t know about it. He had to be careful at all times, and Shangguan LAN ‘er was right beside him. He couldn’t let anything happen to her.
The fleet leaders who came to the conference had basically chosen to enter the city at this time, so along the way, they could see many people in the same direction as them. Their temperament was very similar to ao Tianba ‘s. As someone who had been at sea all year round, he had a very high resolution.
Lin Yi even saw Gu Yunhao, who had a conflict with ao Tianba’s fleet at sea. He didn’t expect to be here so quickly.
“The main venue of the festival is right in front of us. After the ceremony and the long speech, we will return to the ship to compete, so we won’t have much time to stay in the city.” Ao Tianba pointed to a huge square not far away. It was supposed to be an empty space, but a tall dome had been temporarily built. It seemed that the general public was not forbidden to watch the conference.
However, there was still a restriction around the square. Ordinary people could not enter through the restriction. Only in the direction of the city gate, there was an entrance and exit passage. All the people who participated in the meet must have a pass token to enter.
Ao Tianba flipped his hand and took out his token. The guards at the entrance checked it briefly before letting them in.
Lin Yi noticed that none of the ships had more than ten people. It seemed that the token could only bring ten people at most, and the same went for them. Other than Lin Yi, Zhang jinmiao, and Shangguan LAN ‘er, ao Tianba only brought six of his trusted men.
“The fleets that can participate in this meeting have all been selected. Small fleets that are not strong enough are not qualified to enter at all. They can also use those sea routes, but they can not be discovered. Once they are discovered, they will be killed immediately.” Ao Tianba led Lin Yi and the others to their seats and introduced them in a low voice.
The ones that could be used for distribution were naturally the best and safest sea routes, and those small fleets could only use long detours or dangerous sea routes. If they met other fleets in these allocated sea routes, the other party had the right to directly launch a battle. It was normal to destroy them and collect the spoils.
Lin Yi didn’t say anything. The strong preyed on the weak everywhere, and the fights at sea were even more intense. It wasn’t easy for ao Tianba to grow from one ancient warship to this scale.
“There are only twenty fleets that are qualified to participate in the division of the route this time, and two of them can go to the mystic Sea area. A one in ten chance doesn’t seem too low, right?” Ao Tianba chuckled as he started talking to Lin Yi about their chances of victory.
“Brother ao Tian, do you have a ranking for the strength of these twenty fleets? What’s our ranking?” Lin Yi glanced at the square-there were more than ten representatives already, and the rest were coming in one after another. He was curious who the strongest fleet was-they should be their strongest opponents.
Lin Yi felt that he had made a mistake not asking about it beforehand-knowing one’s enemy was the only way to win!
“Hahaha, this … There is indeed such a ranking, but it’s not a publicly acknowledged ranking. It’s just a private ranking, you know.” Ao Tianba smiled awkwardly, and Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat. It didn’t seem like the first few were the only strong opponents. It couldn’t be that all nineteen of them were strong, right?
Shangguan LAN ‘er tilted her head and looked at ao Tianba. She did not have any scruples and would say whatever she thought, so before ao Tianba could finish, the little girl had already asked,””We can’t possibly be ranked 20th, right?”
