"Eh? They've already started over there! "
Yun Guang, who was sweeping his gaze across the astrolabe, suddenly pointed in front of Tang Jun. Everyone followed his gaze and saw a cluster of blinking lights in front of Tang Jun. This was a sign that a battle had already begun.
Yun Guang asked, "Tang Jun, which branch of the Celestial Nation are they from?"
Tang Jun invoked his arts and scanned the astrolabe. The other regions of the Western Star Sea were hidden, and the blinking spots were immediately magnified to cover the entire astrolabe. The cluster of blinking lights immediately expanded to two thousand, and he could clearly see how many of them were moving.
The alluring Ji Meimei giggled. "That should be the spot where the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch has landed. It looks like there are quite a few people fighting there."
Yun Guang chuckled. "Interesting. This is what they call striking first to gain the upper hand!"
Behind him, Zuo Nanchun stared at the astrolabe anxiously.
Tang Jun's expression darkened slightly. He didn't look too good. They had only just landed in the Western Star Sea. They wouldn't be able to meet the cultivators of the other five nations for the time being, yet the Celestial Nation's own forces were already killing each other. If they were to lose all of their own, what would they do if they encountered the cultivators of the other five nations later on?
Everyone stared at the astrolabe for a while, watching the white dots disappear one after another. Not long after, over two hundred of them had disappeared.
The eerie Hei Yun snickered. "How efficient. Over two hundred of them have already died."
"Amitabha!" Grandmaster Qi Jie clasped his palms together and said.
Tang Jun's expression was grim, and he didn't say a word.
In order to ensure fairness, the forces of the six nations had all set off at the same time. They arrived at roughly the same time as well. Half a day later, the personnel sent to inspect the Fifth Earthly Branch returned one by one and handed over the documents.
These personnel were all from the Western Constellations Palace. When the personnel responsible for escorting the Celestial Nation's Fifth Earthly Branch returned, the man who handed over the documents to Wu Menglan was about to leave. Suddenly, Tang Jun said, "Wait. What happened to the Fifth Earthly Branch participants? Why did they start fighting as soon as they landed?"
The man was taken aback, but quickly smiled. As a member of the Western Constellations Palace, he wasn't afraid of the people sent by the Six Sages. In a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, he said, "I'll have to start with the three major sects of the Fifth Earthly Branch. As soon as the forces from the Fifth Earthly Branch came ashore, the disciples of the three major sects in Traversing Moon Palace's territory immediately surrounded a person called Miao Yi …"
"Miao Yi?" The eyes of Fairy Hong Chen, who had been standing silently behind Tang Jun, suddenly flashed. A surprised voice interrupted the man's words, causing many people to look over.
Tang Jun turned around. "Junior-apprentice sister knows this person?"
Fairy Hong Chen regained her composure. She shook her head and said, "I don't know him. I'm just curious that he dares to go against the three major sects on his own."
Tang Jun scrutinized her. Thinking about it, this junior-apprentice sister of his had a cold personality and wasn't someone who liked to make friends, let alone a nameless nobody. He turned around and said, "Continue."
The man continued to smile and said, "That Miao Yi is also quite impressive. Among all the Blue Lotus cultivators, this is the first time I've seen someone with such a formidable strength. Even under the joint attack of over twenty people from the three major sects, Miao Yi single-handedly defeated them all. No one could withstand a single blow from him. Even a dragon steed that was indirectly affected by his attack was knocked to the ground. After that, the disciples of the three major sects of the Twelve Palaces of the Fifth Earthly Branch banded together to deal with a common enemy. Over two hundred of them joined forces to deal with him. Who would've thought that Miao Yi would raise his arm and call out the Red Scarves Alliance … "
After everyone listened to his story, Yun Guang clicked his tongue and said, "A Blue Lotus cultivator who can match the leg strength of a dragon steed is quite rare. He must be quite capable to be able to gather so many people with no background. I wonder how long this person can live."
Behind him, Zuo Nanchun had a deep frown on his face.
'Miao Yi?' When he heard this name, Grandmaster Qi Jie's white brows twitched. That was because that unfilial disciple of his who always wanted to betray his sect would often mention this name to him. His ears had almost grown calluses from hearing it. However, after thinking about it, he gently shook his head. It shouldn't be the person he knew. That was because that person had mediocre aptitude and couldn't cultivate. It was even more impossible for him to have such strength. There were many people in the world with the same name. It was probably just a coincidence.
Fairy Hong Chen's devastatingly beautiful face had a calm expression on it, but her fingers, which were intertwined around her abdomen, were secretly clenching tightly.
After the man finished speaking and left, Tang Jun invoked his transcendence energy to scan the astrolabe again. The astrolabe flashed. The previous image was shrunk to a corner, and the entire map of the Western Star Sea appeared before everyone's eyes once more.
Miao Yi, who had just been mentioned, was instantly forgotten by most of the people present. This was because such a small fry wasn't worthy of their attention. Even if he was a Hall Master, they wouldn't necessarily pay much attention to him. Tang Jun had only asked this question because he wanted to understand the situation...
Leading the troops through the wastelands, they made their way out of the primordial forest that was filled with towering ancient trees, and climbed up the snowy peaks of the towering mountains. The sky was already dark, but Miao Yi and the others had stopped. Hearing the commotion, everyone opened their transcendence vision and looked down the mountain. They could vaguely see groups of troops following behind them.
"Why are they still following us? If we let them follow us like this, our mounts will tire out sooner or later. " Zhao Fei frowned as he stared at the foot of the mountain. "We've already defeated the three major sects. Could they still be thinking of avenging them?"
Sikong Wuwei chuckled. "Avenging the three major sects? As if they'd be so kind. I bet they're just eyeing the treasures we've earned and want to join forces to steal them. "
Wang Tianlun also looked at Miao Yi and reminded, "Alliance Master. No matter what they're planning, we should be prepared!"
The three of them looked at the silent Miao Yi. After the previous battle, everyone was already convinced by this Alliance Master. Not only did they admire the Alliance Master's martial prowess, they also admired his intelligence. If the Alliance Master hadn't caught the three major sects off guard, the Red Scarves Alliance wouldn't have been able to unleash the full extent of their surprise attack. If they had clashed head-on with the three major sects prepared, they might not have been able to gain much of an advantage.
After exchanging blows with the three major sects, everyone knew that the three major sects lived up to their reputations. Putting aside the Sword Deviate Sect, the School of Imperial Beasts and the Jade Lady Sect had not even used their trump cards yet. Back then, the School of Imperial Beasts and the Jade Lady Sect had only lost because they had not been able to prepare in time. Otherwise, if they had waited for the School of Imperial Beasts to unleash all their tricks, they would have been in deep trouble.
Miao Yi scanned the surrounding terrain, then pointed down and said, "They have the advantage in numbers. We're no match for them. We can only rely on the high ground to our advantage. If they have any ulterior motives, we'll stir up an avalanche and use its momentum to charge down. We won't stop along the way and don't get entangled with them. We'll kill as many as we can. "
He pointed to a hill at the foot of the mountain and continued, "Just focus on charging. We'll regroup at the foot of the mountain. If they suffer heavy casualties, we'll turn around and kill them all. We'll reap a great harvest. If we can't deal a heavy blow to them, we'll immediately head down to the foot of the mountain and find another spot to cross over. At that time, I'm sure they'll have to think twice before chasing us even if they want to experience a second avalanche. "
When the three of them heard Miao Yi's words, they looked around at the snow and ice that had accumulated for who knew how many years. They couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. If they really activated an avalanche, they would charge down with the force of a thunderbolt. Who would be able to stop them? They had to defeat them in one fell swoop.
However, the problem was that they would have to flee in panic from the avalanche's pursuit. If they were too slow, they would definitely be buried by the avalanche's powerful force. This was practically putting their lives on the line.
But then again, this was truly an ultimate move. They could see that there were at least a thousand people down there. With their four hundred men, it was impossible for them to win without using this momentum.
The three of them looked at Miao Yi with admiration. At the same time, they came to a conclusion in their hearts. This Alliance Master was a ruthless person. In order to win, he would be ruthless to his enemies and himself as well. They were confident in following such a person, but they didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
"Those who don't fight bravely and hide at the back will naturally be the first to be buried by the avalanche. If they bravely charge forward, with the leaping power of their dragon steeds, they should be able to outrun the avalanche's speed. Make the arrangements! Those who disobey will be executed! " Miao Yi seemed to have already guessed what everyone was thinking. He was determined not to change his mind, and issued the decree with an unquestionable tone.
The three of them received the order and quickly went to make the arrangements.
As the troops made their arrangements, the hundreds of them looked at Miao Yi as though they were looking at a monster. He was asking them to risk their lives! At the same time, they were also a little respectful. This Alliance Master was a ruthless person who wasn't to be trifled with.
Observing the movements of the troops below, Miao Yi suddenly turned around and said to Qi Xiuhong, "Don't panic later. Just follow closely behind me. You'll be fine."
"Understood!" Qi Xiuhong nodded. She looked at Miao Yi's back with a complicated expression. This Alliance Master was very decisive. He was truly a decisive person.
After the preparations were complete, the cavalry lined up in a few rows and got into a charging formation. The people who were several hundred meters away also seemed to notice that something was wrong. They all stopped and looked up, as if they were afraid of causing a misunderstanding, and didn't seem to be hostile.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows. He didn't understand what the other party meant. He tilted his head and said, "Sikong Wuwei. Take two men with you down there and ask around. If anything happens, let us know immediately. We will immediately charge down and rescue them."
He already had a Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talisman in his hand. If they encountered a strong enemy later, he would immediately use the talisman to open up a path.
Everyone tensed up at his words.
"You, you, you. Come with me!" Sikong Wuwei turned around and pointed his long axe at a few men before charging down.
Once the preparations were made, Sikong Wuwei brought a few men with him and met up with the troops below. After a brief exchange, they didn't turn hostile. Instead, he brought a few men up with him.
When they were about a hundred meters away, Sikong Wuwei had them stop and ordered the others to keep an eye on them. Then, he ran back alone to report to Miao Yi.
"Alliance Master, they said they want to join our Red Scarves Alliance. I'm afraid they're up to no good, so I brought a few men here first. Are they going to negotiate or kill?" Sikong Wuwei asked.
Everyone immediately exchanged glances. The disciples of the major sects who usually looked down on everyone else because they had the backing of their sects were going to join the Red Scarves Alliance?
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's naturally a good thing that they're willing to join us. Let them come up."
