Within the restrictions stood row upon row of enormous, flat, pale-blue Supreme Flying Boats, each nearly a hundred zhang long and over ten zhang wide. They filled a vast stretch of level ground, a grand fleet numbering in the hundreds.
Amid the countless flying boats stood a circular platform several dozen zhang across, with a three-story building at its center. The building was pitch-black, covered in countless golden-thread runes that shimmered with faint golden light. This was the command formation of the Second Army's encampment, and a lone figure stood on its rooftop.
The cultivator was exceptionally handsome and appeared to be only in his twenties. His brows were furrowed as his star-bright eyes watched the sky. He was none other than Li Xiaoya, the commanding elder of the Second Army.
Li Xiaoya had been with the Second Army for almost half a year. Naturally, he had finished "testing" the spirit cannons before coming here, and had taught the Golden Core Stage cultivators responsible for delivering them to the other sects how to operate them. Before he departed, Zhang Hong and Liu Xian'er had showered him with countless reminders, reluctant to let him go, and their concern had warmed his heart. Mother Li and Li Muzhi had wanted to accompany him too, but after much persuasion, he had convinced them to remain at the Heavenly Dao Sect. Only then had he come to the border.
By the time he reached the border, Murong Qi had already put the entire fortress in excellent order. Most of it had been completed, and Murong Qi had directed the installation of the restriction towers as well. That had been an enormous help to Li Xiaoya, who really knew nothing about such meticulous work. Fortunately, High Person Qianshan had sent Murong Qi to assist him.
