On the second day of the seventh month.
The Wei Family Army only left a team of soldiers to guard the station. The rest of the soldiers boarded the flying boat and flew towards the southeast.
According to their previous agreement, they would first meet with the Fu Family Army and then head to the appointed place together.
Zhang Yu sat in the main cabin and watched the scenery outside fly by.
This time, he was on his own white boat.
After all, the white boat could be released and withdrawn, so it was more convenient for him to go in and out. The Wei Family Army's flying boat obviously did not meet this requirement.
At this moment, a ray of light came from one of the flying boats.
Qing Shu said, "Sir, General Wei sent a message from Mangguang. He said that the rendezvous point with the Fu Family Army is just ahead."
Zhang Yu said, "Got it."
After another hundred breaths, 20 brand new flying boats could be seen flying toward them. After the two sides exchanged greetings, they converged into a team and flew toward Tanquan City together.
Qing Shu said, "Sir, Zuo Xuanxiu is here to visit."
Zhang Yu said, "Let him in."
After being allowed, Zuo Daoist walked into the white boat through the collapsed cabin door. He looked around and could not help but be amazed.
With his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this flying boat was a magic tool.
He guessed that this was probably a gift from the Xuanting, and he was very envious.
He knew very well that the daily expenses of the Xuan Court Advisor were all paid for by the Xuan Court. There was no need for him to worry about anything at all. As for him, he could only rely on the offerings of the Fu Clan Army to maintain his cultivation resources.
In fact, for Xuanxiu, unless you had an excellent inheritance, the best choice was to enter the Xuanting.
However, this was a difficult thing to do. Ordinary cultivators had to make enough contributions to attract the attention of the Xuanting.
Another thing was that they had a great reputation in the Xuanfu Academy and could be recommended.
Unfortunately, he hadn't been outstanding in the academy back then. Although he hadn't made many military achievements over the years, he was now over a hundred years old. Unless he encountered some special opportunity, it was impossible for him to enter Xuanting.
As he sighed with emotion, he had already walked into the main cabin. When he saw Zhang Yu standing there to welcome him, he hurriedly raised his hand and bowed. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yu returned the gesture and invited him to take a seat.
Daoist Zuo sat down and said, "Fellow Cultivator Zhang, I've been looking at the route that we've been taking. Most of the time, we were in the vast void, so it was easy to see the situation around us. If someone really wanted to kill us, they wouldn't do it here. Therefore, there shouldn't be any problems on the way. The most dangerous place should be on the Frost Planet.
Zhang Yu agreed. In fact, as far as he knew, it was possible to make a move on the way. However, the price to pay was not small. With the strength that they had shown on the surface, the enemy wouldn't have spent so much effort.
Daoist Zuo took out a map of the Frost Planet and spread it out on the table. He pointed at it and said, "There is a regular army stationed on the Frost Planet. Although they can't take care of the entire Earth, if someone wants to kill us, they wouldn't send too many people. Therefore, I was wondering if we could borrow the power of the regular army …"
Zhang Yu thought for a while and rejected the idea. "No, we can't trust the regular army completely. Besides, we have to be prepared."
Daoist Zuo's expression turned serious. "Regular army … Fellow Cultivator Zhang, do you think this is possible?"
Zhang Yu said, "We have to consider the worst case scenario. After all, people like Pei Yue are hiding in the host planet of Kui. It's even harder to guarantee the safety of the Frost Planet. Besides, why did they choose this place? There must be a reason for this. "
Daoist Zuo sighed. "Yes."
He thought for a moment and said with a serious expression, "Then we can only rely on me and my friend this time. Although the Fu family army has made a lot of preparations, they have always needed to go through the military department to purchase weapons. If someone observes, they will be able to find out everything about us. I'm afraid that by now, we have already been seen clearly by those people."
Zhang Yu said, "We don't expect the two armies to do much this time. We just need to hold our ground. Even if they want to attack, they will most likely target us first."
Daoist Zuo nodded.
Due to the special situation of the outer layer, cultivators were more important than armored soldiers. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the Military Department allowed cultivators to retreat when they were in a disadvantageous situation.
Everyone knew this. Therefore, in general, the enemy would not waste their energy to deal with mercenaries who were not a big threat. Instead, they would choose to attack the cultivators first.
Once the cultivators were forced to retreat or killed, the remaining soldiers would not be a problem.
Therefore, if the two of them could stop the enemy, then everything would be fine.
But could they stop the enemy?
Daoist Zuo's heart was filled with worry.
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "If this matter can be resolved, I will try to recommend you to Xuan Ting, Daoist Zuo."
When Daoist Zuo heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. But then, he smiled bitterly and sighed. "It seems that we have to go all out this time."
After traveling for a day, the two fleets finally arrived at the Heavenly Gate under Tanquan City. The twenty flying ships of the Fu Family's army and the four flying ships of the Wei Family's army flew in one after another.
After passing through the Heavenly Gate, all the flying ships appeared in the vast void. The Kui Family Star was already behind them.
At this time, a flying ship of the Fu Family's army flew out and led the way. It led the temporarily assembled fleet towards the Frost Star.
This journey would take at least six days. All the soldiers on the flying ship took this time to make the final adjustments before the battle.
Zhang Yu ordered Qing Shu to be on guard while he sat down to meditate.
But as his aura calmed down, he gradually sensed something.
He opened his eyes and raised his hand to take out a jade box from his Purple Star Pouch.
This was something he had obtained from Pei Yue, and right now, it was trembling slightly.
His eyes flashed slightly. He raised his hand to cover the box and found that the jade talisman inside was glowing slightly.
If he was not mistaken, this should be a jade talisman used to enter and exit the lower levels.
But if it was just a jade talisman, without a Spacewalker Dial, no one knew where it would land. Moreover, if a cultivator was not careful, it was very likely that their true body would enter the lower levels. Then, it would not be easy to return. If they were unlucky, they could be trapped in the lower levels forever.
This might be the reason why Pei Yue kept this item in the jade box and did not use it after coming to the Kui Family Star.
It was just that this item did not move at all in the Kui Family Star. But in the void, it moved.
He thought about it and guessed that this was probably some kind of secret hidden in the Shangchen jade talisman.
But now was not the time to think about it. He rubbed his finger and suppressed it with his consciousness. This item instantly calmed down and the light also disappeared.
He put this item away and then entered into a meditative state again.
As the Spacewalker Dial moved slowly, six days passed quickly.
Zhang Yu suddenly felt something and woke up from his meditative state. He stood up and the jade wall around him disappeared as if it had melted. He looked out and saw an Earth Star that was covered in frost. Some parts of it were of different shades and looked like wounds.
This was the Frost Star that they were assigned to on this trip.
Most of this Earth Star was covered in frost and snow. However, there were still some living beings that were contaminated by the Evil God living here.
There was a strong barrier built on the Earth Star. There was a main army of three thousand people stationed here. There were also three middle level cultivators stationed here for a long time. The overall strength was not weak.
However, compared to the entire Earth Star, they could only control a small area. They could not take care of the other parts of the Earth Star. Often, the descendants of the Evil God and Shangchen cultivators would come here to find the entrance to the inner layer. Sometimes, they would even set up bases in hidden areas.
Therefore, every once in a while, the Kui Family Star would send conscripts here to take care of the cleanup.
As the fleet gradually approached, there was also a flying boat on the Frost Star that came to pick them up. The Fu and Wei family's flying boats followed. They tilted the bow of the boat slightly and dived down to the ground.
After half a summer, the two families' flying boats landed on the camp of the military base. After Wei Lingying and Fu Yong got off the boat, they went to the military base to hand over the documents. The rest of the people stayed behind to rest and reorganize.
Not long after, the people of the two families saw the two of them walk out of the military base. The two of them talked for a while and after cupping their fists and bowing, they returned to their respective conscripts.
After Wei Lingying returned, she immediately went to find the various captains and invited Zhang Yu over.
After everyone had arrived, she said with a serious expression, "According to the military commander here, there will be a blizzard that will cover half of the Earth Star in fifteen days at most.
According to estimates, this blizzard will last for at least a month. In other words, we have to try our best to complete the assignment and return here within half a month. "
Jin Xiaobai said, "That's too tight of time. Why didn't anyone mention this beforehand?"
Wei Lingying shook her head and said, "The military officer at the camp said that this matter was already reported to the Military Affairs Department of Heaven City ten days ago. However, the assignment was set last month. Now that all the conscripts have made arrangements, it is impossible to change it."
Sergeant Lin thought for a moment and said, "If we move faster, we might be able to complete it."
Wei Lingying looked up at Zhang Yu and said, "Xuanxiu, what do you think?"
Zhang Yu could feel that this might not be a coincidence. Once the blizzard started, it would be enough to cover up many things. He looked at Wei Lingying and said calmly, "We don't have to care about the changes in the outside world. Everything will be done according to the plan."
Wei Lingying had confidence in Zhang Yu and said decisively, "Okay, we will set off in a while." She turned to Jin Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, go on my behalf and tell the Fu Clan's army our intentions."
Jin Xiaobai immediately agreed and quickly led a group of soldiers to the Fu Clan's army.
However, after fifteen minutes, the news that Jin Xiaobai brought back disrupted the Wei Clan's army's original plan.
The Fu Clan's army said that they were unwilling to set off in the blizzard. They wanted to wait until the blizzard was over before setting off. If the Wei Clan's army insisted on setting off, they would not set off with them.
