The delay along the way was also to give Purgatory time to prepare. By the time he reached Purgatory, everything would be ready.
After a discussion with Jin Man and the other higher-ups of the Six Paths, everyone flew out of Boundless Star and arrived at a nearby planet.
The group landed on a cliff and looked down. The million-strong army had already assembled at the foot of the mountain.
Miao Yi tilted his head to look at Yang Qing. The latter nodded slightly, indicating that there would be no problem.
Miao Yi took out a storage bracelet and handed it to Yang Qing.
Yang Qing immediately arranged the items in the storage bracelet and summoned the Six Paths' men to distribute them.
Soon, the million-strong army below was restless as they changed into their armors.
Two hours later, the restlessness died down. Red, purple, and gold armors — the million-strong army had all changed into the Heavenly Court's standard armor. They shone brightly under the sun, and the atmosphere was solemn.
What made everyone's eyelids twitch was that every one of the million-strong army was holding an Transcendence Bow. Everyone's eyes lit up.
"With these Transcendence Bows, the rebels won't be able to easily suppress us in Purgatory!" Lu Ge tilted his head and transmitted his voice to Jin Man.
This was not a lie. In terms of strength, they were no match for the Heavenly Court. However, in terms of strength, the Purgatory army was no weaker than the Heavenly Court's. In fact, they might even be stronger. These were the elites of the Six Paths who had survived hundreds of battles. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Court had a powerful area-of-effect weapon. They were easily suppressed by the Heavenly Court. If it weren't for their geographical advantage, they would have been wiped out by the Heavenly Court long ago.
Now that they had these Transcendence Bows, if they were to encounter the Heavenly Court's army again, they wouldn't be able to gain an advantage. They could fight them head-on.
Jin Man glanced at him and transmitted her voice back, "If we can avoid a war, we should avoid it as much as possible. The Grand Deacon is right. Once the rebels know that we have so many Transcendence Bows, they will know that we have other means of entry and exit. They won't sit back and watch us grow. That will force the rebel factions to unite against a common enemy. It will force them to concentrate their strength to eliminate us at all costs. So now is not the time to counterattack. We need to be patient. "
Lu Ge said with some dissatisfaction, "I don't know how long we'll have to endure this. Even if we manage to get out, what can we do with our current strength? The rebels have already matured a long time ago, and they're already a colossus that we can't fight against! "Some things were clear in his heart. He just didn't dare to tell his subordinates.
Jin Man said, "I believe that day will come. It's not like you don't know how much that person loves that woman. He won't let go of Lord Qing and Lord Buddha. Sooner or later, he'll get even with them."
Lu Ge sighed softly, "I don't doubt that person's ability. However, even though he is shockingly talented, the situation is already over. The Green Buddha will sit firmly under the heavens. I'm just afraid that it's easier said than done!"
Jin Man: "If it were easy, we would've done it a long time ago. All of your strongholds were destroyed at the same time. Isn't that enough to prove that he has a strong backup plan? Look at what's in front of you. Do you think it'll be easy to get his hands on so many Transcendence Bows? The opening of a new passageway to and from Purgatory … Everything that has happened since we escaped proves that things are progressing in an orderly fashion. Everything proves that the curtains are slowly being drawn on that person's comeback … Lu Ge, just you wait and see. That person will definitely get back what he lost. A great war that will sweep through the heavens and decide who will rise or fall is inevitable. The grudge between him and the Green Buddha will eventually come to an end. We will finally be able to leave Purgatory and see the light again! "
Lu Ge chuckled, "You still have so much confidence in him … Jin Man, after so many years, do you still love him?"
"Is there any point in saying this? He would rather let down all the women in the world. He only loves that woman. For that woman, he is willing to give up the entire world. Let me ask you, who else would he care about other than that woman? "Jin Man's voice was close to a whisper. Her eyes were filled with a hint of confusion as she slowly regained her senses. She glanced at Yang Qing, who was standing beside Miao Yi, and exhaled. "Lu Ge, you know it. Ever since he forced the Holy Master to her death, it was impossible for me and him to be together."
Lu Ge let out a quiet sigh. He didn't say anything else. Which woman wouldn't like a man like that? It was just that some women would bravely express their feelings to fight for him, while others would be ashamed of their inferiority and bury their feelings deep in their hearts.
The two women communicated in secret. Perhaps women were born different from men. Ye Xingkong and the others felt a different kind of emotion after witnessing the millions of Transcendence Bows and the Celestial Court's standard armor. Their blood was boiling, and they were a little emotional.
When everything was ready, the people on the cliff looked at Miao Yi. Miao Yi's gaze swept back and forth, and finally said calmly, "Prepare to depart."
"Yes!" Six Paths Divine Lord rose into the sky from behind Miao Yi and gave out orders. The million-strong army at the foot of the mountain immediately turned into six torrents and flew up like flying dragons. One by one, they entered the storage bangle in Six Paths Divine Lord's hand.
In the blink of an eye, the million-strong army disappeared. Six Paths Divine Lord returned to Miao Yi and presented the six storage bangle to him.
Miao Yi waved his hand and kept them all. Without another word, he flicked his sleeves and flew up into the sky. Everyone on the cliff cupped their fists to send him off.
Unlike Yun Aotian and Mu Fanjun, Ji Huan, Cang Lei, and Situ Xiao seemed to be a little more respectful this time. This was because the three of them had received the Earth Division cultivation technique from their daughters or disciples. This was a little out of their expectations. They didn't think that they would be able to obtain the Earth Division cultivation technique without resorting to any tricks. They deeply felt that they hadn't made the wrong decision to ally with the Heaven Division cultivation technique back then. It had finally played a huge role, and this made them look forward to the Heaven Division cultivation technique. They repeatedly reminded their daughters or disciples to follow their roles as concubines and serve Miao Yi well.
For example, Yu Nujiao grumbled a little to Situ Xiao, saying that Miao Yi had rarely gotten close to her all these years and that it was rare for them to even see each other.
In the end, Situ Xiao was furious and scolded her for being insensible. She said that a man should take responsibility for the world and that love shouldn't be wasted every day. The fact that Miao Yi had given her the Earth Division cultivation technique meant that he had feelings for her. Besides, he was in a difficult situation now. As his concubine, she should consider the bigger picture and not throw a tantrum.
As he watched him leave, Yang Qing sighed inwardly. He had once again obtained the Heaven Division of the Boundless Great Arts. Miao Yi's generosity had actually given him a huge amount of pressure, making it difficult for him to voice out his objections when they met again. He could only do his best and do his best to obey!
"Is the Grand Deacon returning?" Jin Man walked up to him and asked.
Yang Qing nodded slightly.
"Let's go together!" Jin Man gestured.
The two of them then cupped their fists towards the crowd and flew off together.
Watching the two of them leave, Ye Xingkong clasped his hands behind his back and chuckled, "That woman Jin Man has been quite close to this Yang Qing lately. I heard that she's always with him. Do you guys think she's fallen for him?"
The crowd looked at him in disdain. Dressed in white like snow, Zhangsun Ju chuckled and said, "Jin Man has high standards. With that peerless beauty as her standard, how could an ordinary man possibly catch her eye? The gap between Yang Qing and him seems to be a little too big. He's not even on the same level as that woman."
Li Sheng cackled, "Zhangsun Ju, you're talking about yourself, right? Put away that self-proclaimed elegance of yours. I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to sleep with Jin Man!"
Zhangsun Ju casually pointed at Li Sheng and said, "You can't even speak properly. You're filthy!"
"Haha!" The men burst into laughter.
Mu Fanjun didn't seem to like listening to this kind of nonsense about women. She was the first to break away from the crowd and fly away …
In the main hall of Ying Tian Palace, Ying Wuman's residence, the servants were dismissed. The chief steward, Zuo 'er, arrived.
In the hall, there were only Ying Wuman, Ying Yang, and Zuo 'er.
After the three of them greeted each other, Ying Wuman said with a smile, "Aunt Zuo, has the hunting in the Quiet Spring been arranged?"
"Master is wise!" Zuo 'er nodded and smiled. She looked at Ying Yang and said, "How many friends did Eldest Young Master invite?"
Ying Yang frowned and said, "Grandma Zuo, it's a little strange this time. In the past, people from Kou Clan, Hao Clan, and Guang Clan would go together. But this time, they all said they had something to do. Only Xiahou Clan agreed to go together."
Zuo 'er and Ying Wuman looked at each other. They didn't seem to find it strange at all. Zuo' er asked, "Eldest Young Master, how many people from Xiahou Clan are going?"
"Same as us, only one thousand people." Ying Yang replied, then continued, "Grandma Zuo, don't you think it's strange that Kou Clan, Hao Clan, and Guang Clan aren't going?"
Ying Wuman and Zuo 'er looked at each other again. There were some things that outsiders didn't know, but the two of them did. Kou Lingxu had personally told the other clans that Niu Youde had sworn to take Ying Yang's life. Now that he had organized the Quiet Spring Hunt, the other three clans had probably already guessed Ying Clan's intentions. The only reason why Xiahou Clan accepted the invitation as usual was because they didn't know the inside story.
Zuo 'er avoided the truth and answered, "It's fine if they don't want to go. Don't worry about it. You'll have to shake them off after you go anyway. Otherwise, it'll be harder to lure them in with a bunch of people gathered together."
Ying Yang nodded in agreement, then probed, "How strong are the one thousand men I've brought this time?" If he really had to fight Miao Yi head-on, he would be a little afraid. He was only at the Colorful Lotus realm, while Miao Yi's reputation on the battlefield was still there.
Ying Wuman furrowed his brows. He was dissatisfied with the timidity in his son's words, especially in front of Zuo 'er. She was the person the Old Master trusted the most. Sometimes, just a few words from her could decide the fate of the Ying Clan's disciples.
Zuo 'er smiled, "Eldest Young Master, don't worry. We've already sent ten thousand men to investigate the Quiet Spring to prevent any ambushes. In order to prevent anyone from secretly aiding that thief, these one thousand men are only for show. There are forty thousand hidden among them, and most of them are at the Colorful Lotus realm and above. There are also fifty Lotus Transformation realm experts, and two Vision Manifestation realm experts to protect Eldest Young Master. The Eastern Army has also mobilized ten thousand Transcendence Bows. As long as that thief dares to show himself, he won't be able to escape!"
'Fifty thousand men, fifty Lotus Transformation realm experts, two Vision Manifestation realm experts, and ten thousand Transcendence Bows?' Ying Wuman was secretly shocked when he heard this. To mobilize such a huge force just to deal with a mere Niu Youde, it seemed like the Great Steward Zuo had put in a lot of effort this time. However, it was understandable when he thought about it. The Great Steward Zuo's arrangements to deal with Niu Youde had failed several times. If he failed again this time, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the Old Master.
