"Captain Wang, I'm just reminding you to be careful. The identities of these people have yet to be confirmed!" Facing Captain Wang's scolding, Li Ba wasn't afraid at all. Instead, he reminded Li Ba once more.
After being contradicted again and again, Captain Wang became angry. "What do you mean their identities have yet to be confirmed? Back then, you also came back to the Suzaku Star Realm from here. Why didn't we check you again and again? Hmph, don't think that just because you have Vice Commander Wei backing you up, I won't dare to teach you a lesson. If you mess with me, I'll make sure you won't be able to leave your house for ten years. "
Hearing Captain Wang get angry, Li Ba's eyes lit up. He swept his gaze past Ling Dong and company. He didn't say anything else and just continued on his way. Captain Wang, who was still angry, wanted to scold Li Ba more, but he was gently pulled back by another cultivator. "Captain Wang, we're about to reach the Patrol Camp."
As Ling Dong listened to Captain Wang's scolding, he was secretly shocked. Ling Dong also didn't expect that such a big piece of information would be revealed just by chatting with Captain Wang for a while.
This Li Ba had actually come back through the array passage that was connected to the miniature astral plane teleportation array in the He Safe Zone. Moreover, Captain Wang had said that this Li Ba had only joined the army for a dozen years.
Originally, this was very normal. However, combined with the information that Ling Dong had obtained from the Eight Sons of the United Army, the result was too shocking.
According to Mo Ziqing, since 37 years ago, not a single cultivator had been able to return to the Suzaku Star System from the small teleportation formation in the He Safe Border. Aside from the dozen or so cultivators from the western Jin Ling Star System, who had secretly come to the Suzaku Star System.
As for Li Ba, he had come from the small Astral Boundary Teleportation Array in the He Safe Zone more than a decade ago. If there were no flaws, then Li Ba was a cultivator from the western Gold Soaring Star Field.
On second thought, this Li Ba was the other insurance that the western Gold Soaring Star Area had set up for this secret passage so that Li Ba, who came from the western Gold Soaring Star Area, would always pay attention to the warriors who came out of this small teleportation formation.
Moreover, Captain Wang had just said that Li Ba's backer was Vice Commander Wei of the Military Patrol Camp. From Ling Dong's point of view, the reason why they were brought to the Military Patrol Camp was probably not that simple.
Thinking of this, Ling Dong's eyes flashed with a complicated light.
Ling Dong had already expected the situation in the Vermillion Bird Star Realm to be extremely complicated and chaotic, but Ling Dong didn't think that he would be caught up in this kind of chaos the moment his feet touched the ground.
Perhaps that Vice Commander Wei of the Military Patrol Camp had a problem with his understanding. If that Vice Commander Wei had a problem, then this series of strange situations could be explained.
Just like what Captain Wang had said, no one had come to this small and remote teleportation formation for more than a decade. He had already applied for a transfer several times, but the higher-ups had stubbornly insisted that he stay here.
It was only because of this that it made sense that Ling Dong was even more certain that some of the elites from the western Gold Soaring Star Area had infiltrated the Vermillion Bird Star Area.
Because under such circumstances, this kind of action was the safest way to prevent a mistake in the safe zone from exposing the people in the western Gold Soaring Star Zone.
Ling Dong already had a faint feeling that this trip to the Military Patrol Camp wasn't going to be a good thing.
However, from the looks of it, Ling Dong could only take one step at a time and act according to the circumstances.
The speed of Ling Dong's group was very fast. It only took them half an hour to arrive at the Military Patrol Camp where Vice Commander Wei was. At the entrance of the Military Patrol Camp, Ling Dong could already vaguely see the Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Peak. In other words, this place wasn't too far from the Vermillion Bird Star Lord's mansion under the Southern Ming Scarlet Flame Peak.
According to the organization of the Vermillion Bird Star Area, ten people formed a small squad with a captain. Five squads formed a platoon with a captain. Five platoons formed a battalion with a commander. Under normal circumstances, a battalion had 200 to 50 cultivators.
Because the combat strength of each cultivator was extremely high, a battalion of cultivators was already an organized cultivator army. However, under normal circumstances, a battalion with a special name was usually guarded by three or five battalions.
For example, this Military Patrol Camp. According to the records in the Nine Profound Tower, it specialized in patrolling the Vermillion Bird Star Area. Although it wasn't an elite force of the Vermillion Bird Star Area, the Military Patrol Camp had five battalions of cultivators under it.
Back in the Vermillion Bird Star Area, Ling Dong had also seen this Military Patrol Camp. However, at that time, the Military Patrol Camp was also like this. The management of the camp was very chaotic and the cultivations of the cultivators were uneven.
Perhaps it was because of the chaos in the Vermillion Bird Star Area, but in the past 100 years, when Ling Dong entered the Military Patrol Camp this year, he saw that everything was very strict. The originally arrogant cultivators, especially the ones patrolling in the sky, were all abnormally spirited. Their gazes were like eagles.
"Reporting to Vice Commander Wei, the person has arrived." Along with Captain Wang's loud voice, a muffled voice came from the commander's room. "Bring him in."
When Captain Wang led Ling Dong's group in, he whispered, "Brother Ling, Vice Commander Wei is actually very easy to talk to. If you answer him truthfully, you will be able to obtain a pass."
While Captain Wang was reminding him, Ling Dong noticed that Li Ba's gaze swept past his face again in an extremely obscure manner.
What surprised Ling Dong was that after Captain Wang sent the four of them into the commander's tent, Vice Commander Wei didn't ask anything and directly asked Captain Wang to return to the guard station with Li Ba and the others.
There was no communication at all. Ling Dong thought that Li Ba might have a secret conversation with Vice Commander Wei, but there was no communication at all. This made Ling Dong faintly wonder if he was being too sensitive.
Vice Commander Wei's cultivation wasn't low, but it wasn't high either. He was only at the middle stage of Zhou Tianshen. His cultivation should be about the same as Bai Bai Xuan and Gui Qianshan. Moreover, Vice Commander Wei was very amiable. After Captain Wang and Li Ba left, he stood up with a smile.
He first cupped his hands towards Bai Bai Xuan and Gui Qianshan and then smiled. "Fellow Daoists, I am Wei Changhe, the Vice Commander of the patrol camp. May I ask where you are from so that I can complete my task?"
Before Bai Bai Xuan and Gui Qianshan could answer, Ling Dong said, "Vice Commander Wei, we are martial artists from the Wood Spirit Boundary. We have been cultivating outside and received the Vermilion Bird Assembly Order, so we hurried back."
Obviously, in this day and age where people were judged by their strength, Vice Commander Wei didn't have any good attitude towards Ling Dong, who was only half a step away from Zhou Tianshen. He coldly glanced at Ling Dong and directly ignored Ling Dong's words. Then he asked Bai Bai Xuan, "Is it inconvenient for you two to say?"
"Vice Commander Wei, this is my Junior Brother. What he says represents what we say!" Bai Bai Xuan replied faintly.
Vice Commander Wei didn't even bat an eyelid. "From the Wood Spirit Boundary? It is said that Heavenly Lord Di of the Wood Spirit Boundary only became a Zhou Tianshen Envoy a few decades ago. Even now, he hasn't broken through to the middle stage of Zhou Tianshen Envoy. There is no reason why the Wood Spirit Boundary doesn't have records of two people who are stronger than Heavenly Lord Di of the Wood Spirit Boundary.
However, forgive me for being blind, but I really can't figure out your origins! Please tell me your origins truthfully. The Vermilion Bird Star Field is now in a very special period. "
Helplessly, Ling Dong had no choice but to tell Captain Wang where he came from. He told Captain Wang that he was an elite warrior of the Thousand Year Elite Battle in the Vermilion Bird Galaxy, and he also gave him an identity jade token that allowed him to enjoy certain privileges in the Wood Puppet Realm, which was given to him by Di Tianjun.
"Ling Dong? An identity jade tablet personally bestowed by Heavenly Lord Di? "Vice Commander Wei fiddled with the item presented by Ling Dong with a strange expression on his face.
"Then the two of them? Your identities are clear, but the two of them can't be proven? If you can't prove it, then you can only treat them as spies. "Vice Commander Wei looked up and spoke slowly.
Bai Bai Xuan was a bit angry. "Hmph, a martial artist secludes himself from the world and goes into seclusion for hundreds of years. How can everyone know? Now that they have returned to the Mother Realm, they are being treated as spies. Isn't this chilling? Forget it, we don't have to respond to the Vermilion Bird Assembly Order. We will just return to where we came from and be happy to be free! "
Of course, Bai Bai Xuan wasn't really angry. This was just Ling Dong and Bai Bai Xuan probing.
Seeing Bai Bai Xuan's anger, Vice Commander Wei was stunned for a moment before saying, "I will ask you one last question."
Ling Dong, Bai Bai Xuan, and the others all made an inviting gesture.
"Who is the king of Vermilion Bird?" Vice Commander Wei directly asked these five words.
This question caused Ling Dong and the others to look at each other before looking at Ling Dong. Who is the king of Vermilion Bird? Perhaps only Ling Dong, a native of Vermilion Bird, would know.
However, Ling Dong knew in his heart that he didn't know the answer to this question.
He had stayed in the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's mansion for a long time and had seen almost all the strange things in the Nine Profound Tower, but he still didn't know who the king of the Vermilion Bird Star System was.
Ling Dong felt a bit strange, but he still replied, "Is there even a need to ask? Naturally, it is the Vermilion Bird Star Lord and the Vermilion Bird Ancestor."
"Hehe, that's right. The king of the Vermilion Bird Star System can only be the Vermilion Bird Ancestor!" Vice Commander Wei chuckled and said, "Although I don't know the identities of Fellow Daoist Bai and Fellow Daoist Gui, since you are here to serve the Vermilion Bird Star System, you will naturally be issued a Vermilion Bird Pass.
However, these two Fellow Daoists have very high cultivation, so I will have to report back to the Vice Commander and then come back to register and issue everyone a Vermilion Bird Pass. Please wait here for a moment. "
"Okay!"
Although the change in Vice Commander Wei's attitude was a little strange, Ling Dong could only nod his head in response. Then, he watched Vice Commander Wei leave the commander's tent.
"I didn't expect the situation here to be so serious!" After Vice Commander Wei left, Ling Dong and Bai Bai Xuan chatted casually.
"Yes, the situation is worse than I imagined …"
"Something's wrong!" Bai Bai Xuan's expression suddenly changed.
At almost the same time, Ling Dong's expression also changed. "Not good!"
It was also at this moment that an imposing aura that was like a mountain suddenly surged out from all directions of the tent. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
