He didn't expect that Qiao Yongjun, as a general of the palace guards, would still be so careful when facing the nobles of the dynasty. It could be imagined how strong the nobles who had been left behind were and how deeply rooted they were in the dynasty. It was impossible to shake them easily.
Moreover, most of them were loyal to the emperor. As long as they didn't do anything out of line and weren't caught, Qiao Yongjun couldn't do anything to them.
In addition, these nobles were all cunning. When they fought, most of them would sail according to the wind. If they were in a disadvantageous situation, they would run faster than anyone else. In contrast, the Tiger Legion was much better. Cai Chaoqiong was a newly promoted nobleman and was worried that there was no place for him to show off. This was a heaven-sent opportunity. The auxiliary division led by him would definitely do their best to fight for merits.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Qiao Yongjun had such doubts. He just wanted to see if there was a way to intimidate the Phoenix Legion. As long as they didn't cause trouble, he would be thankful.
As for Yi Tian's main purpose this time was to get his reward. Since Luo Yilan said that she would give him the treasure trove of Mingjing Lake, it would be a waste if he didn't take it. However, he also knew that the treasure trove under Mingjing Lake was not that simple. Although he was bold, he might not be able to get it out. At this time, it was very necessary to be on good terms with Qiao Yongjun. In the entire army, only he had reached the middle stage of Spirit Severing stage and could help.
The palace guards' transport ship sped through the air for a few days before arriving at the destination. After the ship landed, Qiao Yongjun was busy commanding the military affairs. He asked the palace guards to quickly start building the camp and structure. Yi Tian's logistics department naturally wouldn't be assigned to anything. During this time, he stayed on the ship according to Qiao Yongjun's order.
As for Yi Tian, he didn't care about this order. After simply reporting that he was going to cultivate in seclusion, he set up a restriction enchantment in the cabin door. After that, he used a concealment skill and quietly slipped out. With his cultivation, no one in the palace guards would be able to detect his whereabouts.
After leaving the Asura camp, Yi Tian flew to the sky and looked down. After a while, he found that the ship stopped in a valley south of Mingjing Lake. The Bright Mirror Lake in front of him stretched for thousands of miles, and there were hundreds of islands of various sizes in it. In such a situation, if he were to continue searching one by one, who knew when he would be able to find the entrance to the treasury.
After slowly flying above the Mirror Lake, he spread out his Divine Perception and scanned the lake's surface. He discovered that his Divine Perception could only penetrate a few hundred feet into the lake's surface before it was difficult to investigate the situation at the bottom.
As they continued to fly forward, they discovered that two barbarian troops with different banners had already set up camp in the mountains on the northern shore of the Mirror Lake.
It seemed that Qiao Yongjun had done a thorough investigation of the barbarian forces before the war and knew that this place might become the battlefield of the war against the barbarians.
Extending his divine will further to the north, Yi Tian saw a boundless mountainous region. Stealthily, he covered an area of over five thousand miles with his divine will, and found dozens of barbarian gathering points scattered in the mountains. Needless to say, those were the locations of the scattered barbarian tribes. If the army wanted to quell the northern barbarian rebellion in one fell swoop, they would have to eliminate these gathering points one by one. The first step was to wipe out the barbarian camp on the northern shore of the Mirror Lake in one fell swoop.
Without knowing the situation, Yi Tian didn't dare to directly send his Divine Perception into the barbarian camp to investigate the situation. According to Qiao Yongjun, the barbarian allied army's actions were very strange this time. One of them was stationed at the Mirror Lake. At the same time, the other army went deep into the Dragon Mountain's territory. It seemed that they wanted to attack North Peace City from both land and water.
However, to Yi Tian, this information seemed to be just speculation. It was obvious that the barbarian camp below wasn't built in a day or two. Moreover, they were only stationed at the northern shore. It was obvious that they didn't want to cross the border. As for what kind of information the imperial court had received, he didn't know.
However, after scanning the area with his Divine Perception, he found that there were many low-level barbarian cultivators hovering at a low altitude on the many islands near the northern shore of the Mirror Lake. They seemed to be searching for something.
Faintly, a bad feeling came to his mind. Yi Tian was startled and thought to himself, "Could it be that these barbarian cultivators have found some clues? Otherwise, they wouldn't have carried out such a thorough search."
After slowly descending on the cloud, Yi Tian stretched out his hand and made a gesture to hide his body. Then, he quietly followed behind a pair of barbarian cultivators and went deep into the small island in the middle of the lake.
After an hour, he heard from their conversation that the barbarian army seemed to have set out here to search for the ancient ruins of the Ashura Tribe.
After pondering for a while, Yi Tian felt that there was a big change in the situation. Putting aside how these barbarian cultivators found the clues, he didn't know. Based on their thorough search, even if they found the location of Luo Yilan's treasure house, they might not be able to break the restriction and enter. However, what he was most worried about was alerting the enemy. If these barbarians made the situation here public, it would attract more foreign cultivators, which would be a big problem.
However, he couldn't directly kill this team of barbarians. If he said that there was one less person, it might not attract the attention of the other party's high-level cultivators. However, once there was one less person in the organization, it would inevitably arouse the other party's vigilance.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian slowly withdrew his Divine Perception and retreated. Now, with his disorganized search, it would naturally be half the result with twice the effort. The only thing he could do now was to endure temporarily and return to the Ashura Tribe's camp to discuss countermeasures with Qiao Yongjun.
Sometimes, it was a good thing to want to eat alone, but he also had to consider whether he had such a big appetite. It might be a good idea to cooperate with others. Then, he directly turned and flew toward the southern shore of the Mirror Lake.
The distance of a few thousand miles was covered in an instant. When Yi Tian returned to the vicinity of the camp, he found that the imperial guards' encampment had been set up. The fence of the encampment was erected, and the defense base of each node had been set up. Later, it could be activated to cover the area where the encampment was located within a radius of five miles.
Looking to the side, he found that a simple airport was built a hundred miles behind the imperial guards' encampment. At this time, there were two warships docked in the airport. It seemed that the Phoenix Legion that came to help had also arrived. Although Qiao Yongjun didn't have much hope for them, these people were still under his control. On the other hand, the force behind them couldn't be underestimated.
Slowly landing in the main camp, Yi Tian didn't alarm anyone. After quietly finding the location of the logistics department, he showed the appearance of Viscount Hongshan and swaggered in.
The other people in the logistics department were not familiar with him, but they all knew the identity of Viscount Hongshan. Of course, they wouldn't offend him casually. Soon, Yi Tian asked for a separate barracks from the supervisor's office and prepared to return to the camp to rest for a while.
Suddenly, a herald hurriedly ran in and shouted, "General orders all members of the logistics department to enter the tent to participate in the military meeting. After three rounds of drumming, those who don't show up will be punished according to military law."
