Yi Tian had only made this decision after much consideration. Qiao Yongjun was the commander in chief, and if he didn't do anything, he would definitely be criticized by the imperial court. As for Dong Kou, he could represent Lou Zhenqiang's faction of the imperial court's nobles. As for himself, he could wait for an opportunity to strike. There was no need for him to worry too much.
It was understandable for Lou Zhenqiang to be stationed in the main camp. His experience made him suitable to guard the main camp.
After the light warship flew out, it carried the hundred or so cultivators toward Azure Lake Island. A few thousand kilometers was only a matter of time for Deity Transformation cultivators.
Before they arrived, Yi Tian released his Divine Sense from the cabin to investigate the situation. At this time, the cultivators on both sides were still in a stalemate. Neither side was willing to give way to the other, but the Asura cultivators were at a slight disadvantage. Fortunately, they had set up a temporary defensive formation, so the barbarians weren't in a hurry to take down the island.
As more and more dots of light appeared in the sky, the stalemate over Azure Lake Island gradually came to a halt. Many barbarian cultivators hastily returned to the northern side and gathered about fifteen kilometers away from Azure Lake Island.
It was clear that they weren't going to give up just like that. They were waiting for reinforcements, especially high-grade cultivators.
At the same time, three dazzling streaks of light flew out from two barbarian tribes in the north, followed by a few dozen cultivators who flew toward the battlefield.
Yi Tian's spiritual sense immediately detected that the barbarians had only sent three Severed Divinity cultivators, and that there were at least two late-stage Severed Divinity cultivators among them. It seemed that the barbarians had made up their mind to use force to suppress the enemy.
A short while later, the two sides were in a stalemate in the air above Azure Lake Island. The imperial guards on the ground had already been notified to reinforce the temporary formation. Another few dozen cultivators hastily flew down and replaced the cultivators operating the formation. Everyone was waiting to see how the situation would develop.
Shortly after, a streak of light flew out from the enemy camp and landed in front of the formation. A powerful wave of spiritual pressure swept toward the Asura Tribe. Many of the soldiers present couldn't help but sway in the air after being blown by the strong wind. Those with weaker cultivation bases had no choice but to retreat several miles away to avoid the wind.
With a cracking sound, the cabin door of the small flying ship in the middle opened. A beam of light flew out and stopped not far from the front of the formation. It only stopped when it was three hundred feet away from the enemy. After the beam of light faded away, the figure of Commander-in-chief Qiao Yongjun was revealed.
At the same time, the barbarian cultivator revealed his true appearance. He was a burly man, and the spiritual pressure fluctuations coming from his body indicated that he was a late Doppelganger Realm cultivator. Furthermore, he was extremely powerful. He sized them up and shouted in a tearing voice, "I, Zai Fu Hong, little brat, you've crossed the line. The ruins below were left behind by my barbarian ancestors. If you know what's good for you, you should retreat early, lest you suffer a loss in the end."
Qiao Yongjun smiled and said, "This King is the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Army. Everything in this Asura Realm belongs to my Asura Tribe. Since when did you barbarians have the right to make irresponsible remarks?"
"What are you talking about? The Barbarians are the natives of this world. The Asura Tribe is just an outsider from sixty thousand years ago. Now, you're just occupying most of the resources in this world," Zai Fuhong said arrogantly.
But when these words came out of his mouth, Yi Tian frowned. He didn't expect there to be some unexpected gains this time. It turned out that these barbarians were the masters of this world. They were probably suppressed by Luo Qin and Luo Yilan and driven to the barren land. He just didn't know why they came out this time.
As he was thinking, Zai Fu Hong suddenly shouted, "Don't talk nonsense. My barbarian race wants the things below. If you know what's good for you, leave."
"You're too full of yourself. Do you think I'm afraid of you when I brought so many people here? Besides, we have the geographical advantage and have set up a formation. If you want to go down, you'll have to ask for my permission," Qiao Yongjun said coldly.
"Your defensive formation is nothing in my eyes." As soon as Zai Fuhong finished speaking, he stretched out his hands and two dark light waves shot towards the defensive formation below.
After two loud booms, the defensive barrier began to tremble violently. Although it was not broken after three breaths of time, the defensive barrier was greatly weakened. It seemed that it would not be able to withstand the next attack.
At the same time, the Spirit Severing cultivators in charge of the formation were also shaken by the two spells. Those with weaker cultivation couldn't help but spit out blood.
Qiao Yongjun turned around and took out a long spear. He condensed his spiritual power and stabbed towards Zai Fu Hong. The two Deity Transformation cultivators clashed in the air before returning to their respective camps. However, when the shockwaves from their exchange spread out, the cultivators on both sides were blown away and hurriedly retreated.
Zai Fu Hong calmed himself down and looked at his opponent seriously. "You're strong, but you still have the support of a spirit artifact."
"You barbarians are just relying on your natural instincts. How can you compare to us Asura cultivators who are proficient in Cultivation Methods and Divine Abilities?" Qiao Yongjun replied coldly.
"However, we have the absolute advantage in numbers. That alone is enough to suppress you," Zai Fu Hong said.
"I'm not here to argue with you. How are you going to deal with the matter below?" Qiao Yongjun said domineeringly.
Zai Fuhong glanced at the warships and said, "It seems like you've brought everyone who can fight. Why don't we have a bet? I have 3 Severed Soul Stage cultivators here. If we win, 10 of them will go in. How about it?"
"What if we lose?" Qiao Yongjun asked.
"Ten of you will go in." Zai Fu Hong immediately replied.
"That seems a bit unfair to us. Right now, the initiative is in my hands. You want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?" Qiao Yongjun said disdainfully.
"If we keep harassing you, you'll be too tired to deal with us. How will you have time to investigate the situation below?" Zai Fu Hong threatened.
It seemed like it was impossible for one side to dominate the situation. Zai Fu Hong was right. With their strength, if they wanted to harass the Asura army, they would be too tired to deal with them. If that was the case, then even if they sent more people to investigate, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
The only thing they could do now was take a step back. However, the Spirit Severing cultivators of the Spirit Severing stage were much stronger than the Asura army. If they had the same number of people, they would be at a disadvantage.
Just as Qiao Yongjun was in a dilemma, he heard a voice transmission, "Both sides will send ten people. If the Spirit Severing cultivators win, five more will go in. This way, the difference in strength won't be too great."
