Chapter 412: Supervision and Execution by the Empty Sky Master
"Set out, immediately."
Teacher Ouyang Hui suppressed the smile on her face and said in a solemn tone: "Deal with any person or creature attempting to shake the order of the Immortal Gate's First Law, and eliminate all unstable factors in their bud!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Ding, Jin Jin Lingfeng, and everyone else stood up simultaneously, feet together, standing straight, and rendered a uniform military salute to the teacher in the center.
This was purely an instinctive reaction.
Every Foundation Establishment cultivator heard the killing intent in the words of this teacher who had always faced everyone with a smile, just like on a battlefield facing a military commander full of rage.
Beams of escape light flew out, flying straight toward the airport direction; array patterns spread out between them, quickly forming individual wholes. Although they were merely a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators, to outsiders they emitted a distinct Jin Dan-level fluctuation.
Even holding cold weapons, they could form an array possessing Jin Dan combat power!
"If I had one of these guys..."
Jiang Ding secretly envied them.
If a talent of this caliber could emerge among the maids, he could completely hand over the command of the Dao Soldiers to her; within a few decades, she would be a Jin Dan-level combat group.
Having these people serve as soldiers in the Sky Camp is actually a huge waste; it is not their primary job.
Their primary job is to command Foundation Establishment cultivators from second and third-tier academies. One person is the commander of a Sky Regiment; equipped with subordinates and Sky Fighters, they can be used as individual Jin Dan Zhong Qi-level combat forces.
Of course, obtaining them is a delusion.
Each of these people possesses the potential of an Immortal Gate top scholar; even a Heaven Spirit Root cannot compare to them, let alone having received top-tier Immortal Gate cultivation. They are not a small faction qualified to possess.
On the horizon, Sky Fighters flew toward them one by one, each landing before a Foundation Establishment cultivator and merging with them.
"Organizing the formation for this temporary brigade of ideological and moral practice..."
The voice of the Array Spirit rang out.
"Voting..."
"95.4%"
"Student Jiang Ding becomes the commander of this temporary brigade of ideological and moral practice."
"Me?"
Jiang Ding was stunned: "My military array command ability is a bit lacking..."
"Who else is there besides you?"
Jin Jin Lingfeng said sourly: "He has Soul Transformation-level military merit while still in the Foundation Establishment stage, and in the Wasteland Copper Small Realm, he allowed many classmates to share in the military merit, making their cultivation much more abundant over the decades.
Although they are each arrogant to the sky and do not say it on the surface, they are very grateful in their hearts."
"Furthermore, tactically speaking, the number of Sky Regiments has not reached several dozen; operations need to be centered around you."
An Siyan added.
She never served as a main commander, so she had no thoughts on this appointment and was happy to see it happen.
"Convene the brigade headquarters meeting."
After confirming, Jiang Ding, familiar with the entire process, quickly handled various matters: "I propose student Jin Jin Lingfeng as the temporary deputy commander of the Sky Brigade, and student An Siyan as the temporary chief of staff of the Sky Brigade."
This was based on closeness; he could not command the troops in battle and needed trusted people to cooperate.
"I propose student Huang Yan as the commander of the First Regiment, I propose..."
Next, following the Array Spirit's suggestions, appointments were made based on each student's grades and past military merit, and he no longer personally interfered with the arrangement of commanders at all levels.
Many classmates who had originally shown displeasure had their expressions ease.
"Judging by grades, the second-in-command should be me..."
Huang Yan muttered quietly; seeing someone look over, he quickly shut his mouth and stared straight ahead.
"Set out."
Jiang Ding said indifferently.
"Yes!"
Over two hundred Sky Fighters carved white trails through the sky; amidst the sharp sound of breaking the air, they rushed in a straight line toward the center of Immortal Capital, the Tianfang Floating Island of the Tianfang Group.
Along the way, various vehicles and cultivator escape lights dodged, watching the group of Sky Fighters flying straight past with solemn expressions.
"A military mission?"
"A military mission within Immortal Capital; how many years has it been since that happened?"
A Jin Dan cultivator muttered to himself, thinking of something.
Inside the Sky Brigade.
"This is the detailed intelligence for this mission."
Chief of Staff An Siyan sent a pile of data to everyone and introduced: "In short, the Tianfang Group and the Liu Family Military Industry have a direct competitive relationship regarding components for certain Sky Fighters and Sky Warships.
For nearly a thousand years, they have been evenly matched; sometimes the Liu Family Military Industry even held an overwhelming upper hand, almost forcing the Tianfang Group out of this industry."
"However, in the last few hundred years, the Tianfang Group's R&D capability suddenly saw a massive increase, instead suppressing the Liu Family Military Industry. Advantages accumulated step by step, and in recent years they have almost eliminated the Liu Family Military Industry from this industry."
"Originally, this was nothing; competition between companies is encouraged by the Immortal Gate. Superiority and elimination often occur in the market; companies with hundreds or thousands of years of history collapse, while new companies grow rapidly due to a certain technology."
"But the Liu Family Military Industry suddenly sued the Tianfang Group for unfair competition, possibly violating the Immortal Gate's First Law, and produced corresponding evidence; it was not a false accusation."
"This matter even alarmed the Immortal Gate Zuigaofa Academy, and many Nascent Soul cultivators are paying attention to it."
As for the question of deploying a student army being somewhat farcical?
No, this is not a mortal organization.
They essentially represent one of the pillar combat forces below the Immortal Gate Nascent Soul level, far stronger than the Immortal Capital Police Force. Drawing graduate and undergraduate students for various major matters is standard practice.
After all, do not look at them as students; in reality, each is dozens or even hundreds of years old. Any mortal seeing them would likely not be wrong to call them grandfather.
On the horizon, another two hundred plus Sky Fighters flew toward them; Sky Fighters with weaker auras from all directions arrived one by one, gathering here.
"Report, the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University Sky Brigade requests to rejoin the ranks!"
The figure of Liu Mei, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, appeared before the regiment-level and above officers.
Her cultivation was late-stage Foundation Establishment, and her array arts had seemingly improved dramatically, surpassing many senior students to become the commander of the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University's Sky-Heaven Brigade.
"Welcome."
Jiang Ding nodded.
According to the battle plan, a division of Sky-Heaven troops would be dispatched to supervise the investigation involving the First Law of the Immortal Sects.
"Yes!"
Liu Mei rendered a military salute, led her subordinate forces into the Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University's military formation, then dropped her stern expression and sighed: "In the past, such operations were clearly led by our Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University, the core of the core. Why has it become like this now?"
Upon hearing this, many people laughed.
Qingfeng Qingfeng Beidou University was the finest military academy among the Immortal Sects, where the most outstanding commanders were often born, yet the current situation seemed to have changed.
"What, do you disagree?"
Jin Jin Lingfeng knew her well; they were childhood playmates from elementary and middle school. He said proudly, "With us and the Great Sun Sword Disciple combined, we could easily beat all of you up."
"Don't add things arbitrarily; we could do that anyway."
Liu Mei rolled her eyes.
"Haha!"
A group of students laughed heartily, and the estrangement of many years vanished instantly.
"Purple Gold University Sky-Heaven Camp reporting, requesting to rejoin the ranks!"
"Changbai University Sky-Heaven Camp..."
"Mulan University Sky-Heaven Camp..."
"..."
One by one, Sky-Heaven Camps flew in from the distance, merging here to finally form a division-sized force comprising six brigades, eighteen regiments, and a total of fifty-four camps. They descended upon the Tianfang Group's floating island, surrounding it completely.
