"Move out!" The commander in the front row gave the order in unison, and the front row quickly took to the skies.
"Move out!" The commander in the back row gave the order, and the rear row of troops followed closely behind.
Row after row of troops took to the skies. Their silhouettes were like a curtain that covered the sky, continuously breaking through the rolling dark clouds above their heads, and seeing the golden sunlight beyond the clouds. The golden armor of the million-strong army shone brightly under the sunlight, and finally disappeared into the sky like a long dragon.
Under the dark clouds, the huts in the basin were abandoned just like that.
In the starry sky, Miao Yi, who was galloping along with the troops, looked left and right from time to time. The sight of a 1,800,000-strong army flying in formation was too spectacular. It was the first time in his life that he saw so many cultivators gathered together, and they were all cultivators at the Golden Lotus realm and above. It was evident how powerful the Celestial Court was.
The starting point was actually not far from the entrance of Purgatory. For the troops flying in formation, it would only take half a day. For Gao Guan and the others who were ahead of them, it was naturally not worth mentioning.
In the pitch-black starry sky, a huge cluster of flowing lights and vibrant colors was rotating. Six habitable planets that had been modified were rotating quietly in the flowing lights and vibrant colors. Although they were in the flowing lights and vibrant colors, they were not rotating as fast as the flowing lights and vibrant colors.
Whoosh! Gao Guan, who was wearing a black cloak, suddenly stopped outside of the overflowing light. That overflowing light seemed to have blown out a strong wind. The black cloak on Gao Guan's body fluttered in the wind. Those with lower cultivation couldn't even get close.
"Who goes there!" A loud shout came out of nowhere, rumbling through the starry sky.
Gao Guan flipped his hand, and a token appeared in his palm. It instantly turned into a colorful dragon, swimming in the shape of the word 'order' in the void, and the faint roar of a dragon could be heard.
A red-armored general led a dozen purple-armored generals out of the six planets, and stood in a row in front of Gao Guan.
The red-armored general chuckled and cupped his fists, "So it's Emissary Gao. The examiners must have arrived. However, we still have to follow the rules and verify your identity." He threw out a jade disk.
Gao Guan grabbed it with one hand, and the Dragon Token shrank back into a solid object. The token returned to his pouch, and with his other hand, he caught the jade disk, imprinted an incantation on it, and threw it back.
After the red-armored general verified that there was no mistake, he smiled, "When will the examiners arrive?"
"I'll be there soon," Gao Guan replied faintly and asked, "Where's Commander Teng? Why didn't you come to see me after seeing the Celestial Ruler's token?"
The red-armored general cupped his hands and said, "Please don't blame me, Envoy Gao. The Grand Marshal is not disrespecting the Heavenly Decree. Instead, in order to cooperate with the assessment this time, he has personally led the army into the Land of Purgatory to clear the entrance and prevent any sneak attacks. Envoy Gao, why don't you rest at the encampment for a while?"
Gao Guan said indifferently, "The assessment army will be here soon. There's no need to rest. Open the passageway, I want to see how Commander Teng's preparations are going."
"I'll contact the marshal first!" After responding, the red-armored general took out the Star Bell and shook it. Then, he turned around and waved his hand, casting a spell, and shouted, "The Marshal has ordered us to open the passage!"
As soon as the order was issued, a white light immediately shot out from each of the six stars, forming a hexagonal star pattern in the middle of the six stars. As the six stars rotated, the white light in the pattern quickly dissipated, revealing the dark and gloomy rotating star door behind it, rotating in the opposite direction to the flowing lights outside.
In fact, behind them was the Stargate that led to the entrance to Hell that was sealed by an array formation. The array formation that could seal the Stargate was very powerful.
Shua! Gao Guan's figure flashed. He didn't use the golden shuttle or the silver shuttle, instead using the Law Aura to protect his body. He forcefully resisted the pull of the Stargate and instantly charged into the Stargate.
"Seal!" The red-armored general cast another spell.
The six pillars of light that formed the hexagonal star instantly disappeared and the hexagonal star disappeared. The Stargate passage was once again sealed by the flowing lights.
Inside, Gao Guan's figure suddenly came out from the void. He looked around and saw thousands of Heavenly Generals scattered around.
"Gao Guan, over here!" A dignified voice reverberated through the starry sky.
Gao Guan turned his head when he heard this and saw a black faced man wearing a brocade robe with three strands of beard standing on a floating star with his hands behind his back. He stood at the highest point of the star and looked over with an imposing appearance. There was a light blue cloud pattern between his brows, showing that he was in the Vision Domain Realm.
This person was none other than one of the twelve marshals of the Heavenly Court, First Path Marshal Teng Fei.
The entrances and exits of the Purgatory Grounds had always been guarded by the twelve Marshals. Every three hundred years, the troops would be rotated. This meant that the twelve Marshals would take turns guarding the Purgatory Grounds every three thousand and six hundred years. It just so happened that Marshal Zi Lu, Teng Fei, was guarding the entrance this time.
The troops in front quickly moved to the side, creating a path. Gao Guan flew over and landed beside Teng Fei.
Teng Fei who was standing with his hands behind his back glanced at him and asked, "The examinees are here?"
Gao Guan looked around, "They'll be here soon. I wonder how is Marshal Teng's side clearing the area?"
Teng Fei looked into the depths of the starry sky, "We can confirm that the rebels in Purgatory are connected to the outside world. They set up an ambush here and seeing our army clear the area, they immediately retreated. There were no clashes and the clearing was smooth, allowing the examinees to enter … But this is all we can do, no one knows what will happen next. Out of the one million and eight hundred thousand people, how many will come back alive?"
Gao Guan coldly said, "As long as the entrance is cleared, the chances of the examinees surviving will increase. Once the examinees scatter in this large space, even if there are one million and eight hundred thousand pigs running around, the rebels won't be able to stop them. There should be quite a few people that will survive."
Teng Fei slowly said, "Can't we just trap the rebels here, why do we need to use so many lives?"
Gao Guan said, "The key is that we can't trap them here, there are already other passages. Your majesty suspects that there are other passages in Purgatory, how could your majesty watch these rebels grow?"
Teng Fei said, "This is purely worrying too much. The world's situation is already set, as long as we don't panic, these rebels won't be able to do anything. The more we struggle, the more opportunities they have. There are many descendants of influential people participating in this assessment, if there are too many casualties, have you thought about the consequences? The aristocrats in the Celestial Court are the foundation of your majesty's control of the world. Your majesty's blade is slowly turning towards your own people, sooner or later there will be a rift between the emperor and his ministers. Rebels are nothing, your majesty's blade is aimed at the internal, that is the beginning of the biggest chaos, at least now is not the time to cook the cunning hare! I still say the same thing, the world's situation is set, as long as we don't panic, nothing big will happen. As His Majesty's close minister, you should take the opportunity to persuade His Majesty, the disaster starts from within! "
Gao Guan said, "Don't you know about the death of the three Heavenly Street commanders? You don't want any internal trouble, so does His Majesty. The key is that there are already tumors on the skin of the Celestial Court, some of the descendants of the aristocrats are the cancerous tumors that fester and spread. Do you think these tumors start from within, Commander Teng? His Majesty will feel heartache if he cuts his own flesh. "
Teng Fei tilted his head and looked at him, "Why did everyone follow His Majesty to conquer the world back then, wasn't it to seek wealth and longevity, wasn't it to seek wealth for generations to come?"
Gao Guan said, "If the Celestial Court collapses, how can everyone live a long and wealthy life, how can your descendants live a long and prosperous life? Commander Teng, it's useless for you to tell me this, I can't make any decisions, if you have anything to say, you should tell His Majesty yourself. "
Teng Fei said, "I only have one question, will His Majesty's blade continue to slash upwards?"
"I don't know!" Gao Guan said expressionlessly, then said indifferently, "Commander Teng, what you said today is a little too much, I'll pretend I didn't hear it, Gao Guan has a duty, don't make it difficult for me!"
Teng Fei slowly closed his eyes and said nothing.
The two of them remained silent for a long time, Gao Guan suddenly took out the star bell, listened to the reply, then tilted his head and said, "Commander Teng, the examination army has arrived, order them to enter the examination venue!"
Teng Fei opened his eyes and nodded, then abruptly shouted, "Order all personnel to clear the examination venue. Leave behind a sentry post, and the rest immediately retreat and assemble."
Not long after, the army of over a hundred thousand people gathered from all directions in the depths of the cosmos, quickly lining up neatly. Over a dozen Infinite Transcendence Energy realm red-armored generals led hundreds of Rainbow Lotus realm Purple Armored Generals forward to report.
"The examination personnel are about to enter the examination venue. Prepare according to plan!" Teng Fei waved his hand.
"Understood!" Everyone cupped their fists and obeyed the order. The army of over a hundred thousand people immediately got into position, emptying out a large area of the encirclement.
Teng Fei took out the star bell and contacted the entrance outside.
At the entrance to hell, over one million eight hundred thousand examination personnel were already lined up in formation. For most of them, this was their first time seeing the entrance to hell, including Miao Yi. Naturally, it was also their first time seeing the seal of the entrance.
While everyone was curious, they were also feeling nervous. They were about to enter the legendary hell! Their future and life and death all depended on that sealed door.
After the red-armored general who was blocking Feng Yuan put away the star bell, he turned around and shouted, "The Commander has ordered us to open the passage and let them in!"
The six-pointed star pattern appeared once more, and the pattern quickly became hollow, revealing the revolving star door behind it.
Feng Yuan waved his hand, and a group of Advisors flew into the star door first. Then, he invoked his arts and shouted, "Line up in an orderly fashion and enter one after the other. Depart!"
Groups of personnel immediately rushed in, each of them releasing their own silver shards to protect themselves before disappearing into the star door.
Feng Yuan's men quickly counted the number of people entering.
At the entrance to hell, Gao Guan and Teng Fei stood side by side, watching as groups of people entered.
"Go to the right, quick!"
"Go to the left. Don't dawdle and block the exit. Hurry!"
The Advisors who entered first continuously gave orders to the group of people entering. Not far away, someone waved the regional flag of the Nine Great Martial Manor in Celestial Streets to signal for them to assemble. The Commander who led the group in quickly led his troops forward.
Meanwhile, the general guarding the entrance to hell also led a group of people to quickly count the number of people entering.
