Thus, the two of them came to an agreement.
Putting away the Star Bell, Teng Fei said to Miao Yi, "Your Highness, he has agreed. However, he will not be helping me stop Your Highness. Instead, he will be luring Your Highness away …" Teng Fei explained the details of the situation to Miao Yi.
Yang Qing, who was at the side, said, "He should have taken the bait!"
Miao Yi gently nodded his head. At first, he was prepared to have Teng Fei seek refuge with Kou Lingxu. However, Yang Qing felt that it was inappropriate. Taking the initiative to seek refuge would easily arouse Kou Lingxu's suspicions. It would be better to have Kou Lingxu make the decision himself, which would be more trustworthy.
"King Teng, it's all up to you now." Miao Yi smiled at Teng Fei.
"I will do my best." Teng Fei cupped his hands in response.
Miao Yi immediately said to Bluemoon, "Gather the troops for King Teng!"
"Yes, sir!" Bluemoon cupped her fists and accepted the order. Then, she invited Teng Fei to gather the troops.
Even though he had Teng Fei's family as hostages, Teng Fei himself might not be able to withstand the pressure and benefits of over a billion troops. Anything could happen, so he couldn't take that risk. As such, most of Teng Fei's troops were Teng Fei's own troops. Only a small portion of Teng Fei's troops would be sent to deal with the situation. This was the only way Teng Fei wouldn't dare to harbor any ill intentions.
His subordinates started to mobilize and allocate 1.5 billion soldiers for Teng Fei.
Miao Yi, Cheng Taize, Yang Qing, and the others gathered to discuss the details.
However, at this moment, a commotion of fighting could be heard. The few of them turned around to look.
Not long after, the commotion was quelled. Bluemoon quickly came over, knowing that Miao Yi would definitely ask what had happened.
As expected, Miao Yi immediately asked, "What's going on?"
Bluemoon reported, "Your Highness, someone tried to use the Star Bell but was discovered. It's probably a spy from some family."
In a situation like this where the usage of the Star Bell was strictly controlled, everyone was gathered together and under mutual surveillance. It was impossible for anyone to use the Star Bell without being discovered by the people around them. Once the order was given, military orders were obeyed. Anyone who used the Star Bell without permission would be executed! Those who do not report will be punished with the same punishment, beheaded!
It was obvious that someone wanted to take advantage of the slight chaos in the mobilization of troops to do something, but they were discovered.
Miao Yi's expression darkened. This was no small matter. If the news of Teng Fei's defection was leaked, a single spy could very well ruin his plans. He asked in a deep voice, "Has the news been leaked?"
Bluemoon said, "They discovered it in time, they probably didn't manage to spread the news."
Miao Yi's tone carried a hint of sternness, "Should? This King does not wish to hear such words again. "
"Yes!" Bluemoon withdrew in shame.
Once everything was ready, Teng Fei gathered his men and set off according to the astrological coordinates Miao Yi had marked out.
After putting a considerable distance between them, Miao Yi began to lead his men in hot pursuit.
The group avoided the ambushers of the Green and Buddha armies and left the Unknown Star Region without showing their faces. Instead, they traveled along the eastern army's border near the Unknown Star Region.
A Stargate that led to the Northern Army's territory appeared, and Teng Fei led his men to barge in.
He spat out from the void and immediately saw the guards of the northern army.
Teng Fei had already communicated with Kou Lingxu on the way to enter, and it was obvious that they were prepared. A guard general quickly waved his hand, and the people who were blocking the way let them pass. Teng Fei and the others quickly passed through, and the people blocking the way blocked them again. At the same time, hundreds of people mixed in with Teng Fei and the others.
"You want to search us? Who gave you the guts to do so? "Teng Fei shouted at the approaching general of the northern army.
The general apologized, "Prince Teng, the situation of the battle is constantly changing. Anything can happen. Prince Kou is just being cautious. Please forgive him."
Kou Lingxu would definitely be on guard if a group of people intruded into his territory. He wouldn't let Teng Fei say anything. What if Teng Fei had hidden other people to deal with him? He had to confirm it.
Teng Fei was furious, "What does Kou Lingxu think I am? Scram! "
The general said, "If Prince Teng does not cooperate, the Northern Army can only ask Your Highness to take care of yourself for the sake of our own safety. There is no need for the Northern Army to take the risk of getting involved in any dispute … Prince Teng, Niu Youde is already here."
Teng Fei turned around and saw Miao Yi riding on his black dragon, disregarding the guards' attempts to stop him. He charged straight through the gates and continued to chase after Kou Lingxu.
Teng Fei looked exasperated, as if he had no other choice. In the end, he turned around and ordered his subordinates to be searched.
As the group flew, they were searched closely by a few people. Their transcendence energy seeped into the storage spaces Teng Fei and his men carried on their bodies and quickly searched.
There was no way they could identify each and every one of them. How long would it take for them to do that? They could only do a quick headcount.
Even so, it took them quite some time to confirm that there were indeed around one and a half billion troops. Only then did the Northern Army stop their search and quickly report the situation. At the same time, they reported the group's general characteristics so that their superiors could make preparations as soon as possible.
After receiving the reply from their superiors, the general pointed in a direction and said, "Prince Teng, head this way. Prince Kou has already sent his men to prepare to receive you."
Teng Fei immediately led his men away from the direction they were flying.
On a mountain peak on a barren planet, Tang Henian put down the star bell and reported, "Your Highness, Niu Youde is following too closely. I'm afraid it will be difficult to receive Teng Fei like this. We need to think of a way to stop him and create some distance between them. Only then will we be able to do something. Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape Niu Youde's line of sight, and we'll be exposed if we do anything!"
Kou Lingxu said expressionlessly, "Niu Youde really doesn't want to let go of Teng Fei. How ruthless. No wonder Teng Fei is panicking. Pass on my order. Have the men we prepared go and stop him. "
Tang Henian agreed and did as he was told.
The situation quickly changed. An army of a million men suddenly appeared out of nowhere, cutting between the escaping Teng Fei and the pursuing Niu Youde.
The Head General shouted, "Who are you? Stop right now!"
With a wave of his hand, Miao Yi's army appeared. Over a million men immediately charged forward. They didn't care who they were, as they instantly slaughtered all who tried to stop them. Then, the army charged past them and continued to give chase. However, by the time the army regrouped and gave chase, the distance between them had indeed increased by quite a bit.
Soon, Kou Lingxu's message reached Miao Yi. He angrily scolded, 'Niu Youde, I can forgive you for being so impatient in your pursuit. Why did you have to attack my men as well?'
Miao Yi, 'Teng Fei did not stand by and watch Your Highness face the Buddhist Master's army alone. Am I wrong to avenge Your Highness?'
Kou Lingxu: Is this the reason why you attacked this King's men? Who would do something like this? '
Miao Yi, 'Old Traitor Kou, don't give me that. Your men didn't stop Teng Fei, but only mine. What do you mean by that?'
Kou Lingxu, 'This is my territory. I can stop whoever I want. I don't need anyone's permission. How dare you barge in like this!'
Miao Yi, 'Old traitor, just you wait! If Teng Fei can't escape, then so be it. But if you let him escape, I will immediately lead my army and wipe out the northern army! '
Kou Lingxu, 'Well said! I would like to see how many brains you have to speak to me so arrogantly! '
The two of them ended the conversation unhappily. They couldn't come to an agreement, and there was no need for them to continue.
However, as soon as the two of them put down the Star Bell, one stood on top of the mountain with a sinister smile, while the other stood on top of the Black Dragon with a cold smirk. They each had their own ulterior motives.
With benefits at the forefront, and the lives and benefits of countless people on both sides at stake, personal feelings were no longer important. His adoptive father had already called him 'old traitor'. Whatever adoptive father and daughter, they had all been tossed to the back of their minds. There was no longer a shred of friendship to speak of.
"Ask how it is." Kou Lingxu tilted his head and asked.
Tang Henian immediately invoked the Star Bell to contact his subordinates, then nodded and said, "I've increased the distance. It should be enough."
Kou Lingxu scoffed, "Old traitor? Once I devour Teng Fei's forces, I'd like to see how he's going to wipe out the northern army! "
Teng Fei's group continued to flee.
When they entered a rocky area in space and passed by a large celestial body, Teng Fei's group quickly descended. At the same time, another group of people quickly took off, pretending to be Teng Fei's group as they continued to flee.
"Come this way!" As soon as Teng Fei's group landed, someone immediately guided them into a large crevice.
As soon as the group hid, they saw Miao Yi's group flash past them.
Seeing Miao Yi's group chasing after the imposters, Teng Fei placed a hand on his chest, seemingly heaving a sigh of relief.
Only when the pursuers were out of sight did Teng Fei's group set off again, heading in a different direction.
Along the way, Teng Fei took out the Star Bell and contacted Miao Yi.
Once he had a plan, Miao Yi put away the Star Bell and let one person out. The other 'Miao Yi' was White Phoenix.
Miao Yi and the others entered a storage ring one after another. White Phoenix flicked the storage ring to the space behind her, then continued to give chase on the Black Dragon.
The fake Niu Youde was chasing after the fake Teng Fei. However, the fake Niu Youde dared to show his face in public, while the fake Teng Fei didn't dare to look back.
When the pursuers had all disappeared into the depths of space, the floating storage rings exploded with a bang. Miao Yi and the others reappeared, then turned around to give chase.
"Prince Teng, we've gotten rid of Niu Youde. Take care on the road ahead. I won't disturb you any further. However, can you give me the item you promised Lord Kou?"
The general beside Teng Fei bade him farewell and asked for the Transcendence Bow that the two kings had agreed upon.
Teng Fei took out a storage bangle and tossed it to him. "Make sure to count. Don't say that I'm going back on my word."
The general took the storage bangle and checked its contents, then wrote a contract and handed it over. He cupped his fists and chuckled. "That's right. I'll take my leave now! "
"I won't be seeing you out!" Teng Fei said coldly, seemingly displeased with the deal.
The general waved his hand and led the Northern Army's entourage away from Teng Fei's troops. He watched Teng Fei and the others leave with a smile on his face, then took out the Star Bell and tried to contact someone.
However, not long after they parted ways, Teng Fei and the others had just entered a few planets when a large group of troops suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their path.
Teng Fei and the others quickly stopped and scanned their surroundings. They saw a large group of troops charging towards them from all directions, clearly surrounding them.
Teng Fei and the others immediately released their 1.5 billion troops to guard their surroundings.
"Brother Teng, where are you going?"
A hearty laugh came from the sky. Everyone looked over and saw the approaching group of troops opening up a path. The Commanding Heavenly King of the Northern Army suddenly appeared with a smile on his face and an imposing aura.
Teng Fei pointed at him and bellowed, "Kou Lingxu! What is the meaning of this?"
