There were countless islands within the three thousand mile radius of Mirror Lake. Most of them were close to the northern shore of the lake. The barbarian army didn't immediately invade the south after setting up two temporary garrisons. Instead, they sent their troops to these islands.
The Asura Tribe's army arrived in batches. After Qiao Yongjun set up garrisons on the southern shore of Bright Mirror Lake, the Soaring Phoenix Army's reinforcements arrived not long after. They set up camp three hundred kilometers away from the main camp and began to set up fortifications.
However, something unexpected happened. Five days later, another Asura warship full of soldiers sailed over. The flag on the ship was the Black Flag Army's auxiliary division stationed in the Thousand Peaks Mountain Range to the west. After arriving at Bright Mirror Lake, they set up camp three hundred kilometers to the right of the royal army.
As a result, three armies of the Asura Dynasty were stationed on the southern shore of Bright Mirror Lake in a triangular formation.
On the day that the Black Flag Army arrived, another high-level military meeting was held in the royal army's main tent. On the second day after the meeting, the three armies each sent out fifty small teams to Bright Mirror Lake to begin a carpet search.
As a result, such a large commotion naturally couldn't be hidden from the barbarian army on the northern shore. Both sides sent out large groups of people to the areas that were being contested.
As a result, the originally peaceful Bright Mirror Lake was no longer peaceful. Whenever the Asura Tribe's small teams encountered the barbarian army, sparks would fly. Fortunately, the Asura Tribe's cultivators were well-equipped and well-trained. They were able to gain the upper hand in a short period of time.
Even if both sides suffered losses, the degree of damage was far lower than the other side's. The death rate on the battlefield was only sporadic. Ten days later, the Barbarian Race sent many more Divine Transformation Stage cultivators to the battle. As for the Asura Race, once they realized that the situation had changed, they hastily withdrew their battle line and set up defensive formations on several large islands in the Mirror Lake.
During this time, Yi Tian didn't remain idle. Apart from hurriedly producing a large batch of defensive formation disks, he also searched the islands they occupied. Unfortunately, he didn't find any useful clues in these places.
The barbarian army had already realized that the situation had escalated and would definitely strengthen their defenses. If he rashly went there, he might not be able to find any clues while the barbarian army was prepared. After some consideration, Yi Tian decided to discuss with the other three to stay put and wait for an opportunity to appear.
As expected, after waiting for half a month in the main tent, the scouts at the front suddenly sent news that a small group of people from both sides had engaged in a fierce battle on a small island in the middle of Mirror Lake. In the end, a large number of Spirit Severing cultivators led their troops there, and the situation reached a stalemate.
When the news reached the headquarters, Qiao Yongjun immediately invited the three of them over for a discussion. For something like this to happen, it was most likely that both parties had discovered something valuable on the island.
This meeting was limited to four people. After Yi Tian received the message, he hurriedly left the tent and came to the camp. After entering the room, he found that the other three had already arrived. His gaze swept over the three people present and finally stopped on Dong Kou to size him up.
This person was Dong Fei's son, the first in line to inherit the title of Marquis. He looked white and clean like a gigolo, and the spiritual pressure fluctuations on his body didn't seem to be restrained at all at the early stage of the Spirit Severing stage. This time, he had been ordered to come here because he saw that Mirror Lake was an excellent place to make a fortune. He wanted to take a gamble and open up a path for his family.
After sitting down, Qiao Yongjun opened the soundproof barrier and said, "Our people found the ruins of the Asura Tribe on the Jade Lake Island in the middle of the Mirror Lake. Unfortunately, they were discovered by the enemy's barbarian army before they could hide it. Soon after, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle. The enemy actually sent out a dozen or so Soul Formation cultivators to besiege us. Fortunately, my people were able to set up a defensive formation for the time being.
"Have our reinforcements arrived yet?" Lou Zhenqiang asked.
"Three teams have already arrived and set up the Four Symbols Formation. Later, we mobilized ten more teams as reinforcements, but most of them were intercepted by the barbarians halfway. Now, we are in a stalemate." Qiao Yongjun handed over the communication jade talisman in his hand.
Among the four people, Dong Kou was the reinforcements, and his cultivation was the lowest. Naturally, he wouldn't say much here. After glancing at Yi Tian, he stopped.
Obviously, he found that Qiao Yongjun was only the commander on the surface, and he was asking for Yi Tian's opinion on many things. In this way, the identity of everyone was self-evident.
After receiving the jade talisman, Yi Tian scanned it with his Divine Thought. It clearly stated that an underground palace was found in the depths of Mirror Lake Island. The buildings inside were all in the style of the Asura Tribe from ten thousand years ago. At the end of the underground palace, there was a place sealed by a forbidden enchantment, and there were puppet guards of the Spirit Severing stage outside.
The imperial guard cultivator who found this place knew that he couldn't open the passage, so he sealed the place first, and then hurriedly sent a message back to ask for help.
Seeing this, Yi Tian's face didn't change, but he secretly thought in his heart. It was reasonable to say that the secret treasure house mentioned by Luo Yilan was likely to be here, but there was no sealing formation to protect it. With the character of a Dacheng stage cultivator, it was absolutely impossible for this to happen. Or it was because of the passage of time that the sealing enchantment was damaged, so it was discovered so easily.
At present, it was just his own guess. If he wanted to find out, he still had to go to the scene to check it out. Then he raised his head and said, "The matter is so big that the other party's top combat power will definitely be dispatched. How are you going to deal with it?"
"Someone must stay in the main camp, otherwise the morale of the army will be unstable," Qiao Yongjun said, "It's best if Mr. Lou or I are stationed in the middle army."
Lou Zhenqiang nodded frequently after listening. Although he was also very curious about this, he had to take care of three armies behind him. He absolutely couldn't go all out at once. After thinking about it, he replied, "It's true. Brother Yi, what do you think of the arrangement?"
"Commander Lou will stay in the middle army, and the three of us will go," Yi Tian thought for a while and said.
"I will select a hundred teams from each army to go with you. Now they are all gathered and waiting outside," Qiao Yongjun said.
"There's no time to lose, then let's go quickly. I really want to teach these barbarian cultivators a lesson and let them have a taste of the strength of our Asura Tribe, "Dong Kou said excitedly.
After a while, fifty to sixty escape lights lit up from each of the three camps of the Asura Tribe. After converging with the light warships in the middle army tent, they flew toward the middle of the Mingjing Lake in a mighty manner.
This time, Qiao Yongjun sent out nearly half of the combat power at once, also wanting to fight head-on with the barbarians. Recently, the probing between the two sides had almost ended. It just so happened that they encountered this matter, so they escalated the war, hoping to rub off the other party's spirit.
