Miao Yi was a little anxious about this arrangement. Even though he was going to spread out his net, he wasn't going to be at the front of the perimeter. He was worried that the vanguard would run into Yan Beihong first. With Yan Beihong's strength, there was no way he could withstand the combined assault of the entire army. Even if it was just a small team of several hundred, Yan Beihong still wouldn't be able to stop them.
What was more troublesome was that he was surrounded by his comrades, so it was inconvenient for him to run around.
Seeing that they were about to set off, and that Yan Beihong had fallen into a trap because of him, Miao Yi couldn't care less anymore. Just as Commander Yan Huo was about to distribute the large number of Star Bells he had received from his superiors, Miao Yi thought for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Commander Yan, the troops of the Black Tiger Banner are willing to be the vanguard!"
He had temporarily become a deputy general and was in charge of the two thousand five hundred troops he had brought with him.
Yan Huo, on the other hand, was even worse off. He was originally the vice commander of the Big Dipper Army, but for the time being, he had been promoted to a commander, commanding the 50,000 soldiers that the Big Dipper Army had transferred. They did not use the people from the various divisions as they were afraid that during the mission this time, the various divisions would shield their own. Who was afraid of who among the various divisions was? They were really afraid that something would happen, so they directly let the Vice Domain Commander take charge, and no one dared to jump around.
The twenty or so temporary Deputy Generals from the other divisions looked at Miao Yi as if they were looking at a monster.
Commander Zhuo Yinghua from the Tian Long Si was a beautiful lady, but she was the first to lose her cool. She sneered and said sarcastically, "You are indeed the famous Commander Niu Youde."
Encountering someone like Miao Yi who stuck his neck out made everyone feel very uncomfortable. He was acting as if he was very capable. It should be known that the people from the various Divisions were present here. How could they endure this? Furthermore, it was not a good idea to compete with Miao Yi for this kind of thing. Initially, Miao Yi had a lot to do with the fact that these twenty Senior Commanders were able to temporarily assume the position of Deputy General. At first, none of them were willing to come. They only wanted to arrange for a Deputy Senior Commander to lead the troops. However, the Black Dragon Division just had to send two Senior Commanders to lead the troops. This put the other divisions in a difficult position, and the higher-ups would think that they were just doing their job half-heartedly. As a result, these Senior Commanders were forced to come over. No one dared to snatch it from him. They could only pray for Miao Yi to die as soon as possible.
Zhan Ruyi was also speechless. No one in the Chaotic Star Ocean could figure out what was going on. You still want to rush to the front?
Today, Zhan Ruyi finally understood how this man was willing to risk his life. No wonder he was always at a disadvantage. This man was willing to risk his life for the sake of merit.
She clearly knew that she should be more rational and not let her emotions affect her decisions, but there were some things that she couldn't control. No matter how well she pretended to be on the surface, she was still herself deep down. Thus, she braced herself and took a step forward. She cupped her hands and said, "The troops of the Blue Tiger Banner are willing to be the vanguard to scout ahead."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When he returned, his subordinates would probably blame him.
These two fellows were both from the Black Dragon Division, which made the others look down on them.
Yan Huo's gaze paused for a moment on the faces of the two who had volunteered. There was nothing much to say. Since there were people who were willing to take the initiative, it was better than having someone who was unwilling to take the lead and cause trouble. After pondering for a moment, he said decisively, "Approved! If he could perform meritorious deeds. Later, I'll personally go to Lord Lieutenant to ask for your merits! "
"Thank you, Commander!" Zhan Ruyi thanked Miao Yi as well. His heart was filled with bitterness. He was starting to hate himself a little.
Yan Huo waved his hand and put this matter aside for the time being. He began to distribute the large number of Starbells he had received from the higher-ups. He needed to ensure that the troops could communicate in all directions once they entered the Chaotic Astral Sea. This way, he could confirm the location of the enemy from multiple angles.
Ten million troops, each with multiple Starbells. Not everyone could afford this kind of wealth. Without this kind of foundation, they wouldn't be able to enter the Chaotic Astral Sea to capture the enemy.
After all the preparations were made. The Big Dipper Army also arranged for Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi's troops to be the vanguard.
The next day, the army of ten million gathered outside the Chaotic Astral Sea. Meanwhile, there were already several million local troops stationed outside the Chaotic Astral Sea. They were spread out very loosely. As far as the eye could see, it was almost impossible to see a single person.
However, many of the scattered local troops had witnessed the shocking arrival of the ten million imperial guards.
The army of ten million was stopped by the local troops not far from the Chaotic Astral Sea. Naturally, they were there to verify their identities. It was just a formality. The chances of them impersonating so many people wasn't high.
After the two sides met and confirmed that there were no mistakes, Bai Lifeng and Huan Wubian immediately set up a central army tent on a nearby desolate planet.
Half an hour later. The army of ten million received the order and began to spread out in three dimensions. At the same time, the troops at the vanguard spread out like a huge net as they charged into the vast, glowing fog.
At the front, Zhan Ruyi tilted his head to look and realized that Miao Yi hadn't gone back on his word. He was actually charging at the very front of the Black Tiger Banner troops. It was clear that he was going to be the first to enter the Chaotic Astral Sea.
Zhan Ruyi felt like strangling Miao Yi to death. Gritting his teeth, he also charged at the very front of the Blue Tiger Banner troops and charged into the vast fog.
The army of ten million spread out in three dimensions. The frontline was advancing quickly, while the rear was closing in on them. At the very back, they stayed where they were, waiting for the troops to completely widen the distance between them.
The fog obscured their vision, reducing their visibility to only about a hundred feet. As he led his troops into the vast fog, Miao Yi was also quickly giving out orders. Almost all of the troops were holding onto the Starbell tightly, checking their positions at all times …
At the same time, Yan Beihong also received a secret message from Miao Yi. He knew that the Heavenly Court's army had arrived, and that Miao Yi was already on his way to save him. He immediately began to make his preparations. The two of them had already made an agreement.
After putting away the Starbell, Yan Beihong once again buried himself in his work. He crushed the crimson rocks he dug out from the planet he was standing on into powder, then invoked his arts and stored them in his storage bangle. Ever since he received Miao Yi's message a few days ago, he had been working on this since the amount of crimson rock dust was very high.
However, there was no way for him to continue with his preparations. The Heavenly Court's forces had already set off. After another two hours or so, Yan Beihong, who had stored over a thousand storage bracelets, finally stopped and brazenly flew towards the Foggy Starry Sky.
A short while later, the crimson rock dust he had stored up finally came in handy. Holding the storage bangle in his hand, Yan Beihong stretched out his arm, dragging a trail of crimson rock dust behind him. As he invoked his arts, the dust spread out and filled up the vast expanse of white dust, adding a hint of blood to the white.
This was what Miao Yi had instructed him to do. He didn't know how Miao Yi was going to find him with this method either. Compared to the vast Misty Starry Sky, the dust he had scattered was insignificant. Not to mention, he couldn't see anything at all.
However, after releasing a few hundred crimson rock dust from his storage bangle, he suddenly stopped in midair. He took out his saber and abruptly turned around, looking in the direction he had been scattering the red dust all along the way.
He could vaguely sense a fluctuation of transcendence energy. Invoking his arts to investigate in that direction, he immediately noticed that the red dust he had scattered along the way was moving slightly. The transcendence energy seemed to be chasing after the red dust he had scattered.
As soon as their transcendence energy came into contact, the transcendence energy immediately rushed towards him.
Yan Beihong was shocked. He could sense that the other party's transcendence energy and inner strength were far stronger than his own. This also meant that the other party's cultivation was far stronger than his.
'Who is it? Could the Heavenly Court's troops have already arrived? '
But the strange thing was, logically speaking, no matter how strong one's cultivation was, it would be difficult for them to see the dust within the mist. Yet, the other party was able to accurately track the red dust he had scattered despite being in such a state of confusion. 'What kind of transcendent power is this?'
Many thoughts flashed through Yan Beihong's mind. He hastily stopped his transcendence energy investigation and spat out all the dust from his storage bangle. A red ball of dust quickly flew into the distance. At the same time, Yan Beihong hurriedly dodged to the side and escaped into the starry sky. As he turned around, he could vaguely see the swirling red dust behind him. It almost got him caught in the crossfire. Fortunately, he was able to react quickly enough.
Sensing the other party's powerful transcendence energy, Yan Beihong even restrained his own transcendence energy and used the momentum of his escape to escape.
After leaving the area, Yan Beihong took out the Star Bell and contacted Miao Yi. He asked Miao Yi if an expert from the Heavenly Court had entered before them.
Miao Yi asked in surprise, 'What happened?'
Yan Beihong immediately told Miao Yi about what happened just now. He explained that the other party's transcendence energy waves were very strong, and that their strength was definitely extraordinary.
Miao Yi: 'I don't know if the Heavenly Court sent any experts in before us. I didn't see them either. Logically speaking, if the Heavenly Court's experts could enter the Bewildered Star Seas as they pleased, they wouldn't need small fries like us to scout ahead.'
Yan Beihong: 'What do we do now? The other party seems to be able to accurately detect the red dust I scattered. I don't think we can continue using the method you suggested. '
Miao Yi: 'You've already scattered the dust from a few hundred storage bangle?'
Yan Beihong: 'Yes. I prepared a thousand of them, and I've already scattered about a third of them.'
Miao Yi: 'Are you far away from the dust you scattered?'
Yan Beihong: 'Not close, but not too far either.'
Miao Yi: 'Don't expose yourself for now. If the situation permits, stay nearby for now. It'll be easier for me to find you. I'll think of something else.'
After communicating with Yan Beihong, Miao Yi quickly took out the Star Bell and contacted the other party.
In the command tent outside, after receiving the news from his subordinates, one of the commanders, Bai Lifeng, abruptly shouted, "Inform everyone to halt their advance immediately."
Huan Wubian abruptly turned around and asked, "What happened?"
Bai Lifeng anxiously said, "Tell them to stop first."
Huan Wubian immediately nodded to his subordinates, indicating for them to do as he said.
Soon, all the troops waiting to enter and those who had already entered the Bewildered Star Seas and beyond came to an emergency halt.
Inside the temporary command tent, Huan Wubian looked at Bai Lifeng once more with a questioning look in his eyes when he received the news that the troops had stopped advancing.
Bai Lifeng placed his hands behind his back and said, "Niu Youde, who was the first to enter the Bewildered Star Seas, sent a message saying that he vaguely saw someone passing by, and that someone was emanating a very powerful transcendence energy wave."
Huan Wubian frowned and asked, "Who?"
