Of course, if it was according to the normal development, the war would not have started so quickly. The reason why they started the battle so quickly. There was no lack of help to encourage the Imperial Domain.
After telling everyone the exact time of the operation, Xiang Zizhen continued to make operational arrangements.
“According to my previous investigation, there are a total of two prisons in the Xingluo Province. One of the locations will be rescued by Howling Tiger and me. The rest of you are in charge of rescuing them at another location.”
Xiang Zizhen told everyone about the other rescue location.
“Why is Howling Tiger with you?”
Everyone was a little surprised. In terms of strength, Xiao Shi was considered below the medial-class among them. In terms of qualifications, Xiao Shi was the last to join them. Now, he was on such an important mission.
This puzzled them.
Xiao Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He vaguely guessed the purpose of Xiang Zizhen’s arrangement.
“Because only Howling Tiger and 1 can enter this rescue location. None of you can enter.” After Xiang Zizhen explained, he quickly formulated a rough rescue plan for everyone. Of course, when the time came, the specific arrangements would still depend on themselves.
After a simple explanation, Xiang Zizhen pulled Xiao Shi to a dream world alone and chatted privately. “I think you should have already guessed the location of the place we’re going to rescue.”
Xiao Shi nodded.
“In the entire Xingluo Province, only you and 1 can enter. The only place that others can’t enter is the prison we’re in.”
Xiao Shi was still a little surprised by this. He did not expect the lord of Xingluo Territory to imprison the members of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect in prison. However, with his familiarity and understanding of the entire prison, he knew that the lord of Xingluo Territory definitely did not imprison these disciples in a prison cell.
From the current situation, Xiang Zizhen had a plan when he was transferred from the commander of the Xingluo Army to the prison as a warden. The reason why he had spent so much effort to be transferred over was obviously to prepare for today’s operation!
“That’s right.” Xiang Zizhen nodded. “This rescue location is indeed in the prison, but it’s the lowest level hidden in the prison. Normally, no one can approach that place. Even us wardens can’t approach it without the permission of the lord of Xingluo.
“It’s a pity that although 1 can find out the location of this prison, 1 can’t find out the situation inside. We’ll just have to improvise.”
Xiao Shi nodded slightly. “Actually, I have a question. What cultivation level are the disciples imprisoned by the lord of Xingluo? They shouldn’t be ordinary disciples, right?”
Xiao Shi felt that if these imprisoned disciples were only disciples of the lower three realms of martial arts, they should not be so secretive as to make the lord of Xingluo spend so much effort to imprison them.
Even if they were detained in one of the prison cells, with the strength and cultivation of these disciples, they could not escape.
“This… I’m not too sure either.” Xiang Zizhen shook his head. “Like you, I’m just following orders. However, I once heard that the lord of Xingluo has some connections with our Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect. 1 don’t know the details.”
Xiao Shi was a little surprised. Even Xiang Zizhen did not know the strength of these imprisoned disciples. It seemed that the situation here was not as simple as it seemed.
This also made Xiao Shi vigilant.
As the Xingluo Territory and Seven Stars Territory were not far apart, there were frictions between the two territories. In addition, the two lords had always been at odds. Now, with the help and encouragement from the Imperial Domain, the conflict between the two lords had intensified.
Hence, the battle began.
At this moment, in the sky above Xingluo Territory and Seven Stars Territory. The two lords floated in the air and faced each other from afar.
The Lord of Seven Star’s body was red, as if it was made of lava. Even the sky he was in turned red.
The Lord of Xingluo was a middle-aged man with a long face and white sideburns. He looked to be in his forties. There was a star on his glabella, as if it was embedded with a shining star. The sky where the Lord of Xingluo was had also turned into a stretch of starlight. The two lords were still floating in the air and staring at each other. They did not attack.
However, the sky above their heads had already begun to collide violently.
“Xingluo, I’ve tolerated you for a long time. You’ve interfered in my Seven Stars Territory’s matters several times, publicly protected the criminals in my Seven Stars Territory, and even snatched my Seven Stars Territory’s treasures countless times.” The Lord of Seven Stars began to recount the Lord of Xingluo’s crimes. His voice was loud, resounding through the world like a god.
“Cut the crap. You just want to snatch my star and transcend the Sage. Since you and I are both on the Dao of Stars, it’s destined that only one person can transcend. In that case… let’s fight!” The Lord of Xingluo said calmly.
The Lord of Seven Stars’ expression darkened. “What I hate the most is your calm appearance. You act as if everything is within your expectations.” He sneered. “You’re so predictable. 1 wonder if you’ve expected that I’m not the only one who wants to deal with you this time!”
As soon as he finished speaking, fine array patterns suddenly appeared under the Lord of Xingluo’s feet. These array patterns quickly interweaved and formed an incomparably huge array formation..
