Ji Huan was taken aback, but quickly understood from Mu Fanjun's gaze that the crux of the matter was still the Shaman's prophecy. Forcefully stopping Miao Yi might not be a good idea.
Even so, they were still deep in the heart of Purgatory. They were still a little conflicted.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Miao Yi chuckled. "If no one has any objections, why don't we depart now?"
What objections could the Five Sages have? Naturally, they would gather their men and set off.
But before they set off, Cang Lei still said 'Amitabha'. "Miao Yi, this place is dangerous. You seem to have quite a few Red Crystal Armors. Why don't you lend us a few? It'll give us more protection."
Yun Aotian's Yun family had no shortage of Red Crystal Armors. Yun Zhiqiu had already prepared them.
These people had obtained three sets after killing the three Heaven Avenue Commanders. Not only were the numbers difficult to distribute, but there would also be a shortfall.
Miao Yi asked, "You haven't returned the money you owe me, and you want to borrow it again?"
He had to be wary of these people trying to harm him after obtaining good equipment. The six great arts were not to be trifled with.
The Five Sages were speechless, a little embarrassed by Miao Yi's words. It wasn't appropriate to retort that their disciples and daughters were already married to him. Saying something like borrowing money and not returning it was no different from selling their daughters. How could they say that?
It wasn't that they couldn't pay it back. The three Heaven Avenue Commanders they killed still had some money on them, but it felt a little weird to borrow it again now. Of course, Yun Aotian was an exception. There was no way the Yun Clan could afford to pay him back right now. Yun Zhiqiu had given the Yun Clan quite a lot of things. Just the Red Crystal Armor that he had given the Yun Clan was more than what the three Sky Avenue Great Commanders had.
The Five Sages admitted defeat. They realized that they couldn't afford to put on airs in front of this bastard. Even if he didn't use his power to suppress them, he could still suppress them with money.
"Forget it!" Miao Yi immediately relented and said, "Even if I don't do it for the sake of the monk, I'll do it for the sake of the Buddha. For the sake of my concubines, I'll let you borrow them. How many do you want?"
It wasn't appropriate to not lend it to them. They still had to rely on them in this godforsaken place. If they couldn't even protect their own lives, what was the point of carrying all their belongings? Lending it out could also increase the strength of his side. After thinking about it, it was more worthwhile to lend it out.
Naturally, Miao Yi was more than happy to give everyone a set. Since Miao Yi had decided to give out the Red Crystal Armor Armors, he would go all the way. Not only did he lend everyone a set of Red Crystal Armor Armors, he even lent everyone a spiritual beast mount.
The members of the Five Saints had all arrived. After each of them had collected their items, for the sake of safety, and also to avoid being too conspicuous with so many people, they all kept their respective people into their beast sacks.
He kicked Charcoal, who was dozing off at the entrance of the cave, until it jumped up in fright. He then quickly sat on Charcoal's somewhat resentful body and patted Charcoal's neck. Charcoal quickly carried him up into the sky.
Yun Aotian and the others also summoned their mounts and rode them into the sky …
A huge black sphere rotated in the silent starry sky, emitting a dim light from time to time.
After a series of blood-curdling screams, a fierce battle ensued.
Tens of thousands of men in black robes roared as they swept across the thousands of corpses. Judging from the standard golden armors worn by most of the corpses, it was clear that they were all members of the Heaven who had participated in the test. Another group of men in black quickly chased after the scattered members of the Heaven Court.
Soon, not a single one of them escaped. The thousands of participants who had accidentally stumbled into this place were all captured.
Rainbow Lotus cultivators had a Dharma Platform on their brows. A nine-colored lotus with eighty-one petals was the highest cultivation in the Rainbow Lotus realm. A flower with nine colors and nine petals with one ring represented the First Grade, while nine colors and nine rings represented the Ninth Grade.
A black-robed man silently hovered in the starry sky, watching the battle. He had a dark, beardless face and a Seventh Grade Rainbow Lotus on his forehead. His transcendence eyes swept across the battlefield that had just ended. When several people came to report the results of the battle, he grabbed a sinister-looking black horn, placed it in his mouth, and blew on it.
"Wuu … wuu …"
A dull whimper spread out into the starry sky along with his transcendence energy.
Tens of thousands of people abruptly turned around to look at the black-robed man who blew the horn. They quickly gathered back, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner. It was obvious that they were well-trained.
After putting away the horn, the black-robed man turned around and flew toward the huge black sphere behind him. Tens of thousands of people followed behind him.
When they got close to the sphere, they realized that the black sphere was formed by countless irregular rocks of different sizes that glowed with a dark metallic luster. The big ones were as big as mountains, and the small ones were as small as gravel. As they rotated rapidly, they looked like a curtain wall. From afar, they looked like a single entity.
Facing these flowing rocks, which were difficult to pass through without strength, the tens of thousands of people suddenly turned into Yin mist and entered the flowing rocks. They were all ghost cultivators.
When they passed through the flowing rocks, the Yin mist instantly condensed into human figures again. Tens of thousands of people appeared and continued to fly forward. In front of them was a real sphere. From the outside, it looked like a layer of flowing rocks protecting it.
The group of people landed in a place where there was no sunlight. Only the bony mountain rocks occasionally shone with a dim light. Not a single blade of grass grew, and the cold wind blew.
Heads popped out from the cracks of the bony mountain rocks and caves. It was impossible to tell whether they were happy or angry. They looked at the people who came back. They were all black-robed men. At a rough glance, there were probably tens of thousands of people. No one spoke, and only the sound of the wind could be heard.
The Yin Qi condensed by a large number of ghost cultivators flowed through the mountains with the wind.
The leader of the people who landed waved his hand, and tens of thousands of black-robed men immediately threw out the corpses of thousands of people from the Heavenly Courts, piling them up like a mountain.
They were not all corpses. There were also hundreds of captives. All of them were forced to kneel on the ground with a knife on their necks. The captives who were either crippled or injured looked around in horror. They saw merciless faces looking at them from the bony mountain.
They looked at them quietly and calmly. It was impossible to describe the look in their eyes. It was the kind of look that seemed to have no hope. They were like walking corpses without any emotion. Being stared at by these pairs of eyes, the captives who were kneeling on the ground felt a chill in their hearts.
Among the kneeling Heaven Generals, someone suddenly shouted nervously, "Surrender! I surrender … "
Who knew that before he finished speaking, the ghost cultivator behind him directly slashed down with his knife. The begging stopped abruptly. Hot blood spurted out of his mouth and was blown away by the wind. A big head rolled with the wind and got stuck in the mountain rocks.
The others who wanted to follow and beg for mercy immediately shut up in fear. They swallowed the words that were about to come out of their mouths.
Someone came out to welcome them and cupped his hands at the leader. "Commander Guan."
The person called Commander Guan asked in a deep voice, "Where is the general?"
"On the mountain!" That person turned around and pointed.
Commander Guan looked up and opened his magical eyes. On the highest mountain top, covered by the gray yin qi that swept up by the wind, a burly man in black with a black cloak on his shoulders was fluttering in the wind. His messy long hair was fluttering in the wind, and a few strands of long beard were also swaying in the wind. His complexion was pale, and he stood with his hands clasped behind his back. There was a look of confusion in his deep eyes as he looked at the sky. He ignored the captives under his command, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Commander Guan flashed up and landed on the crisscrossed mountain peak. The sound of the wind passing through the messy mountain rocks became more and more mournful.
After taking a few steps forward, he cupped his hands and said, "General, the rebels couldn't withstand a single blow. We killed four thousand four hundred and forty-one of them and captured three hundred and seven alive. None of them escaped. Our army lost six men and won a great victory. Please tell me how to deal with them." In his words, the people of the celestial heavens had become rebels!
The general looked down at the situation at the foot of the mountain and said lightly without answering the question, "Have the sentry posts been set up in the area that we are in charge of?"
Commander Guan replied, "They have been set up. Send the scouts far away. As long as someone passes through this area, they will definitely be discovered."
Only then did the general reply, "Deal with them according to the usual rules."
"Yes!" Commander Guan cupped his hands and left.
When he returned to the foot of the mountain and gave the order, hundreds of captives of the celestial heavens were immediately held down by a few people. Rolling Yin Qi poured into their bodies, intending to refine the captives into zombies and dissect them to extract their Yin Cores.
"Ahhh …" Knowing their fate, the captives screamed in agony. However, they were restrained and couldn't resist.
At the same time, someone else began to clean up the thousands of corpses piled up like a mountain, as well as the items on them.
Commander Guan, who was silently watching his subordinates work, suddenly raised an eyebrow. He took out a Star Bell and shook it, asking, "What is it?"
The scout replied, "Reporting! Six riders are approaching from the southeast direction. They will arrive in about two hours! "
Commander Guan, "Are you sure there are only six of them?"
The scout replied, "Yes! I don't see anyone else. "
Commander Guan put away the Star Bell. With a wave of his hand, he gathered eight hundred men and quickly left.
The six people reported by the scout were none other than the new Six Sages, led by Miao Yi.
Naturally, Miao Yi and the others didn't expect to be targeted less than half a day after leaving the hiding place they had been hiding in for decades.
As the six of them galloped through the starry sky on their mounts, they kept a close eye on their surroundings. However, they didn't notice anything amiss.
When they entered a rocky area and were about to pass through, they immediately noticed something amiss. The six of them stopped almost at the same time. They saw a hundred black-clothed men suddenly rush out from behind the floating rocks and block their path.
The six of them quickly scanned their surroundings. It wasn't just in front of them. A hundred men had appeared in every direction, cutting off their path of advance and retreat.
'We've fallen into an ambush!' The same thought flashed through the minds of the six of them at the same time.
The six of them were all veterans of the battlefield. One look and they could tell that this was a targeted ambush. They were obviously being targeted without even realizing it. These people were obviously not from the Heavenly Court either. With their transcendence vision, they could tell that they were all Ghost Cultivators.
They didn't even need to guess to know that they had encountered someone from Hell. The six of them quickly exchanged glances. Although they knew that the situation was bad, none of them showed any signs of panic. They immediately donned their red crystal armor and prepared to engage in battle.
"Old geezer Situ, you are the Ghost King. You are the best at dealing with Ghost Cultivators. The first battle will depend on you. You will be the vanguard. The five of us will cover your back and protect your four flanks. You only need to focus on charging forward. Everyone, you have to take down their morale and carve out an opening. "Mu Fanjun quickly gave instructions to her subordinates.
