Zhou Bao was amused by Yu Nantian's pretentious attitude. There were only 17 people here, including Yu Nantian, and each of them had their own subordinates. All of them were not to be trifled with. Even if Yu Nantian won the position of Commander and became the nominal Commander, it was almost impossible for him to order these people to obey his orders.
The most important thing was that he had to take responsibility for seizing the position of Commander.
In Zhou Bao's previous life, he was also a civil servant. He had been a civil servant for more than 10 years. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he could be regarded as an official. As the saying goes, officials are as slippery as oil. Zhou Bao was a slippery official in his previous life.
He could see clearly that a boss not only had power, but also had obligations and responsibilities. This time, everyone would be happy if they succeeded. But what if they failed? They might be held accountable.
This group of people was the future backbone of each sect. If one of them died, it would be a great loss. If a few more of them died, would those sects not complain?
What if they returned in failure? This was not just in case. Zhou Bao had indirectly colluded with Ye Qingtian. With his interference, it was almost certain that they would return in failure. Therefore, the unlucky one would be Yu Nantian, the Commander. Therefore, in Zhou Bao's eyes, whoever became the Commander would be unlucky. Since Yu Nantian wanted to be the Commander, he would naturally push the boat with the current and wait to see him make a fool of himself.
"Well, since you all favor me and let me be the Commander, I have to bear this responsibility!" Yu Nantian seemed high-spirited after getting the position of Commander. Even the way he looked at Zhou Bao had become much kinder.
"However, I'm young and inexperienced. If there's anything I can't do well, please help me, my fellow comrades and seniors!"
"Of course, of course!" Everyone nodded repeatedly. Even Zhou Bao nodded his head like a chicken eating rice.
"In this operation, I hope you all can cooperate sincerely. I know that you all come from different sects and have different backgrounds. Since you are all here, it is fate. Divine Wind Palace has made it clear in advance that although we will lead the operation, we will not take the spoils, including the copy of the Golden Book of Fate, the Taihao Fairy Weapon, and the North Pole Frozen Wheel. All of them will be yours. But at the same time, I hope you can do your best. Don't hold us back or play tricks. Otherwise, I will not show you any mercy!"
At the end of his speech, Yu Nantian's eyes became cold and sharp. He glanced at the faces of the 16 people and paused for a moment on Zhou Bao's face. Among the 17 people, Zhou Bao was the most difficult to deal with. Not only was he the most powerful, but he was also the weakest bound by the sect. Yu Nantian really couldn't understand why such an unstable factor had to join in.
In the face of Yu Nantian's sharp eyes, Zhou Bao maintained a humble smile, as if he had returned to his previous life, when his superiors came to inspect him.
Next, Yu Nantian began to describe his plan to the 16 people. The plan was very detailed, with all kinds of possibilities and details included. Clearly, it was not something he had prepared on a whim. Instead, he had prepared it for a long time and had even deduced it. It could be said to be a foolproof plan.
However, in Zhou Bao's view, this plan was just like those implementation plans in his previous life. If he really carried it out, it would become a joke.
Of course, at this time, he would not be a wet blanket. Instead, he nodded enthusiastically and interjected from time to time. Every time he pointed out the key points, he seemed to be very attentive, which made everyone look at him in a new light. Even Yu Nantian found him more pleasing to the eye.
"Idiot is just an idiot!" Seeing that Yu Nantian's expression was exactly the same as that of those leaders when he came down to inspect him, Zhou Bao laughed in his heart. "This guy is easy to fool. There's no need to have a head-on conflict with him. Maybe I'll play the same trick and sell him out without knowing it!"
"Zhou Bao!" At this time, Zhou Bao heard his name being called. He suddenly raised his head, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, please give me your orders!"
"Here's the thing. This time, we're going to the Three Western Regions across the endless sea. From the Borderline Mountain into the endless sea, we'll reach the Central High Heaven Region of the Three Western Regions. It's a total of 780,000 kilometers. Although the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area have always been in harmony, the Sea Area is complicated and there are various kinds of evil beasts. Although the 17 of us have the strength of Level Eight or Nine, and we have some celestial devices, it's not safe in the Sea Area.
"Me?" Zhou Bao was a little puzzled. There were 17 people here. Not including himself and Yu Nantian, there would be 15. Why did this guy call his name?
Seeing Zhou Bao's puzzled expression, Yu Nantian smiled and said, "I know you have a Pure Yang Celestial Device. In order to safely cross the 780,000 kilometers of the Sea Area, the Divine Wind Palace has prepared a Pure Yang Celestial Device, the Void Traveler. But even with the Void Traveler, it'll take us three days and three nights to cross the Sea Area. No one knows what will happen during these three days and three nights. Therefore, I hope that someone with a Pure Yang Celestial Device can help us defend. Before you came, I've already communicated with the others. What do you think?"
"Of course, there's no problem!" Zhou Bao agreed readily and said, "We're all in the same boat. Of course, we should do our best!"
"Okay!" Zhou Bao agreed readily. Yu Nantian nodded his head and said, "You'll be responsible for the defense of the port side. On the sea, no matter who they are, as long as they try to board, don't hesitate to beat them down!"
Zhou Bao nodded and smiled.
"Void Traveler? Pure Yang Celestial Device? I wonder if it's the same thing as the flying boat I got last time. Even if it's not, it should be the same type. This time, I'll take a good look. Maybe I'll get another Pure Yang Celestial Device! "He thought to himself.
Yu Nantian then gave a few more instructions. It was nothing more than some departure time, tasks, and so on. Because they already had a complete plan, everyone just had to do their jobs, so there wasn't too much of a doubt.
Zhou Bao did not have much to do. He just did what Yu Nantian had told him. He was responsible for the safety of the port side with the Pure Yang Celestial Device.
Then they dispersed. Since they were scheduled to set off at noon on the third day, everyone had enough time to prepare. Zhou Bao was not curious about Perpetual Peace Town. For the next two days, he stayed in the inn and adjusted his physical and mental state to the best.
On the third day, everyone set off. They walked along the path and crossed Borderline Mountain. However, they did not encounter anything special. They were 17 experts with Pure Yang Celestial Devices. No matter how strong the evil beasts on the mountain were, they would not be stupid enough to provoke them. Therefore, in just half a day, they successfully crossed Borderline Mountain and reached the seaside.
The Sea Area was so vast that one could not see the end of it. Even for this group of experts, it was still a little difficult for them to cross the Sea Area.
If it wasn't for the fact that they were forming groups and traveling together, no one would have truly dared to traverse the 780,000 miles of sea region.
Yu Nantian waved his hand and a golden streamer flashed out. It turned into a pure gold flying boat in the air. This flying boat was more than 1,000 feet long and 300 feet high. It was divided into eight floors and looked luxurious. The flying boat soared into the sky. Zhou Bao could clearly see that the boat was engraved with talismans and magic formations, emitting an obscure energy spirit.
"Such a strong defense, but it still needs our help. Are the evil beasts in the Sea Area really so strong?" Zhou Bao frowned and had a bad feeling.
Could it be good?
The defense of the Void Traveller was strong enough to withstand the joint attack of several Individual Immortals. Such a strong defense, but it still needed their help with Pure Yang Celestial Devices. Did this mean that the attack of the evil beasts in the Sea Area was even stronger than the joint attack of several Metaphysic Individual Immortals?
Was it possible?
If that was the case, then he would have to re-evaluate the risk of this voyage.
"This boat is really good!" Standing on the Void Traveller, even Zhou Bao could not help sighing with emotion. The interior of the Void Traveller was just as it had been seen from the outside world. It was resplendent and luxurious. There were eight floors and each floor had more than 20 rooms. Seventeen people boarded the boat and each of them chose a room, but it still seemed empty. Zhou Bao was responsible for the safety of the left side of the boat, so he chose a room close to the left side.
He pushed open the window made of gold-rimmed cedar wood. Outside the window, it was already raining, as if God had done this on purpose. As soon as Zhou Bao and the others boarded the boat, the sunny weather immediately changed and it began to rain.
The flying boat under their feet shook. Then, the scenery in front of them changed rapidly. The boat had already flown out to the endless sea.
"It's really fast. It's several times faster than a jet plane. 780,000 miles. Hehe, it only takes three days and three nights to fly there. This speed is really f * cking fast!"
On Mount Wudang in Borderline Mountain, there stood a huge white stone, about 30 feet high. At first glance, there was nothing special about it. However, when the Void Traveller took off and headed straight for the endless sea, the stone changed in a strange way. A faint ripple spread from the surface of the stone and the stone suddenly became illusory. Then, it twisted. Within a few breaths, the white stone turned into a tall, thin man in white robes. He was about 20 feet tall and his skin was green with faint patterns. He stood upright on the peak and looked at the direction where the Void Traveller was going. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.
