“Are all Ice Heart Valley’s disciples in the Bing Chen Army?” Yang Kai asked.
“That’s right,” Fan Xin nodded before suddenly smiling and whispering, “Senior Sister Ji Yao is now the Third Garrison's Chief of the Bing Chen Army.”
Yang Kai smiled awkwardly, “Good, good.”
Fan Xin continued, “Senior Sister Ji Yao is now a Third-Order Emperor Realm master.”
Ji Yao’s situation was similar to Bing Yun’s. After Bing Yun had disappeared for no reason, Ji Yao had gone out to search for her. In the end, after breaking into the Eastern Domain’s Wild Ancient Land, she had been struck by the aura of the Primordial World, causing her to lose consciousness and remain in the Wild Ancient Land for countless years. If Yang Kai hadn’t found her by chance and brought her out, she would likely still be in chaos.
Inside the Wild Ancient Land, she was in a daze and didn’t know how to cultivate. Her cultivation had stagnated, but the aura of the Primordial World was constantly tempering her foundation. After breaking free from the Ancient Land and regaining her consciousness, her spirit and physical body had undergone a sublimation, allowing her to break through after many bloody battles.
Bing Yun and Ji Yao were not the only ones whose cultivation had improved.
Fighting in battle was the best way to temper one’s temperament and stimulate one’s potential, allowing one to break through the barrier between life and death, allowing one to survive in desperate times. A battle between two worlds had caused countless Star Boundary cultivators to die, but under the great waves, those with extraordinary aptitude and luck had all benefited. Not only had the Martial Dao of this Great World not declined, but it had instead become even more prosperous.
Since when had Yang Kai’s cultivation come from painstaking cultivation? Since he had started cultivating, he had survived many dangerous situations, turned bad luck into good luck, and struggled on the edge of life and death again and again, undergoing baptism and rebirth. If he had truly focused on cultivating behind closed doors, it was likely he wouldn’t even be able to touch the threshold of the Emperor Realm.
“How will the Star Boundary’s army be established? Tell me about it.” Since they were just traveling and had nothing to do, Yang Kai naturally want to understand more about the Star Boundary.
Fan Xin naturally told Yang Kai everything she knew. Others didn’t dare to trust Yang Kai because he had a history of turning into a traitor, but how could Ice Heart Valley’s disciples be on guard against him?
In the past, when the Asking Passion Sect in the North Region attacked Ice Heart Valley, if it weren’t for Yang Kai’s efforts to turn the tide, it was likely that Ice Heart Valley would have long since disappeared.
The Star Boundary’s army was built in the same way as the Demon Territory’s, so the establishment was naturally similar.
Each of the fifty-four legions had more than a million people, and the largest one had five million people, almost five times the size of an ordinary establishment.
Under the command of the Army Commander, there were a hundred thousand people in each garrison, each of which was led by the Garrison's Chief, the Third Order Emperor Realm, or Second Order. Below the Garrison's Chief was the Guard. Each Guard had around ten thousand people, and below them was the team.
Basically, those who could become Left Guards were all at the Emperor Realm.
This was the case for Han Zheng Qing. The team in front of him was the Bing Chen Army Ninth Garrison's Third Guard, and Han Zheng Qing’s identity was the Left Guard Chief of the Third Guard. His cultivation was at the First Order Emperor Realm, so he was qualified to assume this position.
Fan Xin, on the other hand, was only a Third-Order Principle Source Stage cultivator. As the Right Guard Chief, she was equivalent to Han Zheng Qing’s assistant, and her status in the Bing Chen Army was equal to Liu Youwei’s.
As for the team leaders below, they were all at the Principle Source Stage.
“What about Senior Li Wuyi?” Yang Kai suddenly thought of someone. He remembered that when he had left the Star Boundary, Li Wuyi had been the one in charge of the Star Boundary’s battle. Firstly, he was publicly recognized as the strongest person under the Great Emperor Realm, and secondly, he was from Spirit Beast Island and had an extraordinary background.
Fan Xin smiled and said, “Senior Li is the Commander of the 1st Army, but he also manages the other Commanders.”
Yang Kai nodded and understood that Li Wuyi was still the same Li Wuyi, and the Star Boundary’s battle was still under his control.
At this moment, Yang Kai suddenly raised his brow and stretched out his hand. When he opened his palm again, there was a jade slip in his hand. After scanning it with his Divine Sense, he smiled at Fan Xin, 'Whatever you say.'
It was impossible for a jade slip to appear in front of him for no reason. Before the jade slip appeared, the Space Spirit Bead on Yang Kai’s hand had reacted. It was Li Wuyi who had used some kind of method to teleport the jade slip through space.
There was only one sentence in the jade slip: Come and see me.
He didn’t say where he was going, because there was no need to say. Both of them had their own Space Spirit Beads, so as long as the other party was still in the Star Boundary, they could reach each other with just a thought.
It was just that Li Wuyi was occupied with military affairs and couldn’t leave his station, so he had Yang Kai meet him.
He had only returned to the Star Boundary for a short time, yet Li Wuyi already knew. Yang Kai looked up at Han Zheng Qing thoughtfully.
Fan Xin seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and explained, “Every Left Guard Commander has a Space Spirit Bead that connects to the Seven Mist Sea. It was given to them by Sir Li. Oh, the Seven Mist Sea is a very special place in the Western Regions and is now where the Army is stationed.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
Since Han Zheng Qing had the Space Spirit Bead, he could naturally contact Li Wuyi and report his situation to him. Otherwise, Li Wuyi would not have sent him a message at this time.
“Sir Li… what did he say?” Fan Xin asked somewhat nervously. Although the disciples of Ice Heart Valley all believed in Yang Kai’s character and temperament, the incident back then had been too big. From the way Han Zheng Qing and the others treated Yang Kai, even though they had saved his life, they still remained vigilant. If even Han Zheng Qing was like this, how could others not?
Li Wuyi had once chased after Yang Kai.
Fan Xin was naturally a bit worried that Yang Kai would be caught red-handed by Li Wuyi the moment he returned.
How could she have known that what had happened all those years ago was nothing more than a show, a show that Yang Kai had not hesitated to ruin his own reputation for Yu Rumeng!
“Senior asked me to make a trip to the Seven Mist Sea,” Yang Kai smiled lightly, his attitude relaxed.
Seeing him like this, Fan Xin also felt relieved. Thinking about it carefully, if Li Wuyi really wanted to capture Yang Kai, he would probably be able to reach this place immediately. After all, with something like the Space Spirit Bead, its mobility was incomparable.
Since Li Wuyi hadn’t come and had only sent him a jade slip, that was enough to explain his attitude.
While talking to Fan Xin, Yang Kai took out a blank jade slip and poured his Divine Sense into it, sending it into the void.
At the same time, hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, in a certain hall, several hundred people were sitting on the ground, some male and some female. Although their cultivation wasn’t very high, each of them had dozens or even hundreds of Space Spirit Beads placed in front of them. From time to time, faint spatial fluctuations would appear, followed by jade slips flying through the air.
The men and women stretched out their hands to grab the jade slips, and immediately, someone came over with a jade plate and took back the jade slips before rushing to a secret room directly above the main hall. There were also people waiting inside the secret room, who took the jade slips and deciphered them, engraving the information inside before sending them away.
As such, all the information gathered from all directions was gathered in one place; where Li Wuyi was.
This hall was almost equivalent to the headquarter of the Star Boundary’s army, responsible for gathering intelligence on the various battlefields. As long as Li Wuyi stayed here, he would be able to understand the situation of the entire Two Worlds Battlefield at any time and coordinate with the Demon Race’s armies.
Inside the room, there was a huge sand table that almost encompassed the entire Two Worlds Battlefield, from mountains to rivers to small streams and small rivers.
In front of the sand table, there was a handsome man and a charming woman. Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng were quietly waiting.
Faint spatial fluctuations spread out as a jade slip appeared out of thin air. Before Li Wuyi could reach out to grab it, Jiu Feng had already taken the initiative to grab it.
Li Wuyi stared at her helplessly for a long time before Jiu Feng pursed her lips and smiled, “This little brat…”
“What do you mean?” Li Wuyi asked.
“He’s with the people from Bing Chen Army’s Ninth Garrison. He need to send them back to the headquarter.”
“The Ninth Garrison…” Li Wuyi thought about it for a moment before quickly remembering who the Ninth Garrison belonged to and couldn’t help laughing, “What a coincidence, he ran into someone from Bing Yun upon his return.”
Jiu Feng reached out and tapped the sand table, “They should be here.”
Li Wuyi glanced at the sand table and also pointed forward, “A thousand kilometers away, there are more than ten thousand demons blocking their way.”
“I can help,” Jiu Feng said excitedly.
“Enough!” Li Wuyi coldly snorted, “Stay here and don’t go anywhere.”
Jiu Feng asked curiously, “Aren’t you afraid that something will happen to him? If something really happens to him, I want to see how you’ll explain it to the Little Princess, or… you’ll use the Beast Military Guard?”
Li Wuyi immediately curled his lips and said, “What could happen to him? He’s very lucky. As for the Beast Military Guards… they’ve all been sent out. In the previous battle, the Bing Chen Army was scattered and many people needed to be rescued, so how could there be anyone to sent out? Don’t worry, it’s just ten thousand people.”
How could Jiu Feng not know that a mere ten thousand people wouldn’t pose any threat to Yang Kai? She was just bored here and wanted to take this opportunity to go out for a walk… but who knew that Li Wuyi wouldn’t even give her this opportunity.
After all, every now and then, Li Wuyi would have to make an emergency move. If he were to leave, someone would have to guard this place. This was the core of the entire Star Boundary, and if someone were to launch a surprise attack, the entire Star Boundary would become blind and deaf.
…
“Beast Military Guards?” Yang Kai raised his brow. He had just heard from Fan Xin about the candidates for the various Army Commanders and knew that the three from the Wild Ancient Land, as well as Wen Zishan, Ma Qing, and even Li Jiao had all become Commanders. Hearing about Beast Military Guards, he couldn’t help feeling surprised.
“It’s the people from Spirit Beast Island. Each of them is at least a Second-Order Emperor Realm master. There aren’t many of them, only about thirty of them, and they are mainly responsible for rescuing us. For example, in our current situation, Sir Li Wuyi would normally send a Beast Military Guard to meet up with us and then lead us back to the base.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly in understanding.
With the Space Spirit Bead, the Beast Military Guard could easily reach this place. A Second-Order Emperor Realm or Third-Order Emperor Realm master would be of great help to this team. With such a master leading them, their chances of breaking through would greatly increase.
