Ren Yun Du led the group through Saint Royal City. Not long after, they arrived in front of a majestic building.
This building was like a huge castle, taking up a radius of a few dozen meters and looking majestic.
Above the castle's main gate, there was a golden horizontal board with two ancient words on it – Army Quarters.
In front of the main gate of the Army Quarters stood a few dozen armored soldiers, each of them holding a war saber in their hands and exuding a strong aura.
These soldiers were all Martial Royal Realm Cultivators. This made Su Mo's heart jump. Even the soldiers guarding the gate were Martial Royal Realm Cultivators. How powerful!
Arriving at the main gate of the Army Quarters, Ren Yun Du instructed the group to wait outside while he entered the Army Quarters alone.
"Xie Bin, what is this Army Quarters?" Su Mo asked Xie Bin as he waited.
"Brother Su, this Army Quarters is where the Holy Dynasty mobilizes their troops. However, they can only mobilize a portion of the troops!" Xie Bin explained.
"I see!" Su Mo nodded his head.
"However, the person in charge of the Army Quarters is a member of the Zhu Family of the Holy Dynasty. He is the Third Prince's man and he has never been on good terms with the Holy Son!" Xie Bin said.
"How many princes are there in the Holy Dynasty?" Su Mo asked. He already knew that Gu Tian Yi was the Eighth Prince of the Holy Dynasty.
"There are more than ten princes in the Holy Dynasty. However, there are only three princes with high talents who can inherit the throne in the future. They are the First Prince, the Third Prince, and the Holy Son!" Xie Bin said.
Su Mo nodded his head as he somewhat understood. It seemed that Gu Tian Yi also coveted the position of the Holy King. Otherwise, he would not have recruited so many talents.
"What are the cultivation ranks of the First Prince and the Third Prince?" Su Mo asked again.
"The First Prince and the Third Prince have higher cultivation ranks. One is a Rank 6 Martial Honorable while the other is a Rank 5 Martial Honorable. They have great power in the Holy Dynasty. Compared to the two of them, the Holy Son is younger and is only a Rank 3 Martial Honorable. His power in the Holy Dynasty is also smaller!"
Xie Bin sighed slowly. After a sigh, he continued, "However, in terms of talent, our Holy Son is still better!"
Su Mo nodded silently and pondered. This kind of battle for the throne was the cruelest. Would he be involved in it in the future?
However, after pondering for a while, he stopped thinking about it. Thirty years would pass in the blink of an eye. By the time he had spent thirty years in Shen Wu Academy, his cultivation would have probably reached the Martial Honourable Realm.
At that time, he could go anywhere in the world.
Moreover, at that time, he would have to leave the Ancientspirit Galaxy and head to the Ming Xu Galaxy to look for Qing Xuan. He would not stay in the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction to help Gu Tian Yi fight for the throne.
After waiting for a while, Ren Yun Du walked out of the military headquarters.
"Come, let's go to Black Mountain Stronghold!" Ren Yun Du said in a clear voice.
With that, the group left the Saint Royal City and headed west.
Along the way, Su Mo and Xie Bin chatted for a long time and they had a rough idea of the situation in Red Millet Star.
Xie Bin had come to Red Millet Planet many times and had participated in many large and small battles. He knew the situation of Red Millet Planet like the back of his hand.
The Imperial Ancestor Court Faction was the most powerful force in Red Millet Star. Other than the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, there were also the Four Great Ancient Countries and the Three Great Foreign Tribes.
The Four Great Ancient Countries and the Three Great Foreign Tribes were no match for the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction. In the past, they did not dare to become enemies with the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.
However, in the past hundred years, the Four Great Ancient Countries and the Three Great Foreign Tribes had actually joined forces and continuously invaded the territory of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction.
It could be said that if it wasn't for the King of the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, the Four Great Ancient Countries and the Three Great Foreign Tribes would have invaded the Red Millet Star.
Black Mountain Stronghold was the border between the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction, Tuo Luo Ancient Country and the Blood Pupil Clan.
This place was very important as it was surrounded by the Dragon Vein and Spiritual Qi. There were many Spiritual Crystals and Spiritual Stones mines.
As such, the experts of Tuo Luo Ancient Country and the Blood Pupil Clan often attacked this place to steal resources.
Su Mo and the group flew for a full eight days and finally arrived at Black Mountain Stronghold in the afternoon.
They saw a stretch of black mountain range that stretched for tens of thousands of miles. It was as though there was a huge black dragon circling the area.
At the edge of the mountain range, there was a huge stronghold that protected the black mountain range.
This stronghold covered a few hundred miles and it was shaped like a city. The four sides of the stronghold were a few hundred feet tall. Most importantly, the sky above the stronghold shone brightly as a strong defensive array was set up.
Shoosh shoosh shoosh!
Su Mo and the group landed in front of the main gate of Black Mountain Stronghold.
"We are disciples of the Shenwu Academy and we are under the orders of the Eighth Prince to guard the stronghold. Please open the array quickly!" Ren Yun Du looked at the top of the stronghold and shouted loudly.
On the top of the stronghold, there were many soldiers dressed in black armor and they looked coldly at Su Mo and the group.
"Without General Zhu Long's orders, no one is allowed to open the stronghold!" A cold voice came from the top of the stronghold.
"Then quickly go and report!" Ren Yun Du frowned and shouted. He had not expected that the troops here would be led by the Zhu Family.
The Zhu Family was the Third Prince's men and he guessed that they would not be given a good job.
Immediately after, the group waited at the city gate.
However, this wait lasted from noon to evening.
"What is going on?"
"Why are they not letting us in!"
"Damn it, they are playing with us. If the people from Tuo Luo Ancient Country and Blood Pupil Clan come, we will be in trouble!"
The group was anxious and their faces were dark. It took so long to report to them. If they were not playing with them, what was it?
If the experts from Tuo Luo Ancient Country and Blood Pupil Clan came to kill them, they would be in danger.
Su Mo's face also darkened. He had thought that he would be able to easily obtain a large amount of resources from this training trip. He did not expect that the Imperial Ancestor Court Faction would be in such a mess.
"What is going on, why are they not opening the stronghold?" Ren Yun Du looked at the top of the stronghold and asked with a dark face.
"Without General Zhu Long's orders, no one is allowed to open the stronghold!" A cold voice came from the top of the stronghold again.
"Damn it!"
Ren Yun Du was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Immediately after, he shouted angrily, "Do you need half a day to report to them? What you are doing is obviously attacking the dissidents. We will leave now and report this matter to the Eighth Prince! "
Ren Yun Du was really angry. In the past, although the Third Prince and the Eighth Prince fought openly and secretly, they would not attack each other so openly on such a national matter.
However, this General Zhu Long was obviously giving them a hard time.
As such, he was not prepared to carry out this mission and was prepared to bring the group back to Shenwu Academy.
"Hehe! Why are you guys so anxious! "
Right at that moment, a light laugh sounded from the top of the stronghold. A young general appeared on the top of the stronghold.
This person's face was handsome and angular, and he wore silver armor. He seemed to be majestic and had an extraordinary bearing.
