Chapter 1390: We came all this way just for this?

Yun Xiantai's breakthrough also means the horn of attack has already been blown.

According to the information our scouts sent back, the Blood King Palace and Soaring Heaven Pavilion have likely joined forces again.

Not only do the Blood King Palace and Soaring Heaven Pavilion have scouts in the Bai Song Gu territory, but Bai Song Gu naturally also has its own intelligence system.

Although there is no solid evidence, it's still not hard to deduce from a few clues.

Furthermore, it's no secret that Yun Xiantai and the others are in Bai Song Gu; as long as Lie Xue and Old Ling aren't addled or senile, they will surely band together for self-defense.

So everyone gathered together, and Qiu Baiyi spoke directly.

Upon hearing that, Yun Xiantai and Dongfang Hong also weren't surprised.

Something we had long expected—this is a good chance to take care of them all at once.

Hmm, I plan to set the battlefield here.

Saying this, Qiu Baiyi pointed to an area on the Formation Light Curtain before them.

What the Formation Light Curtain displayed was a map of the entire Heavenly Martial Realm, and the direction Qiu Baiyi's finger pointed was a place called the Three Sect Plains.

From the name alone it's not hard to guess that this plain lies at the joint border of the three major sects: Bai Song Gu, Blood King Palace, and Soaring Heaven Pavilion.

It is also the sole common border of the three sects.

It is quite large, and due to its special geographic location it belongs to a no-man's-land, extremely chaotic.

Those who have committed offenses in the Heavenly Martial Realm, or for other reasons, all flee to the Three Sect Plains.

Because once one reaches the Three Sect Plains, even the three major sects—Bai Song Gu, Blood King Palace, and Soaring Heaven Pavilion—would find it troublesome to make arrests.

After all, if you send people there, the other two sects naturally won't sit idle; they will surely send people as well, and when the two sides meet, friction is bound to erupt.

Therefore, previously the Three Sect Plains had basically been tacitly accepted by the three major sects as a buffer zone.

Unless it is something extremely important, no one would casually enter.

But now we are going to destroy the Blood King Palace and Soaring Heaven Pavilion, so those considerations are no longer needed, and the Three Sect Plains is undoubtedly the best battlefield.

As for those who survive within the Three Sect Plains, Qiu Baiyi doesn't care at all about their life or death.

These people are all murderous, pillaging scoundrels who commit every evil; their deaths are no loss.

Upon hearing Qiu Baiyi's words, Yun Xiantai and the others nodded, indicating agreement.

Sure, you're more familiar with the terrain of the Heavenly Martial Realm, so you can decide the battlefield—but we need to go see it in person first.

No problem; I'll arrange people to take you there when the time comes.

That will do.

With the battlefield decided, that very night Yun Xiantai led Hong Zun, Qing Shi, and a few others, accompanied by two Bai Song Gu Elders, secretly rushing to the Three Sect Plains.

Their numbers were few, not exceeding ten, also for ease of movement.

Moreover, everyone's cultivation is at least at the Great Emperor Realm, so avoiding the notice of the Blood King Palace and Soaring Heaven Pavilion is easy.

They arrived at the Three Sect Plains silently all the way; I don't know if it's because of constant warfare over the years.

Looking far into the horizon, the plain although boundless, the ground is a patchwork of green grass and scorched earth, like a jigsaw puzzle—one piece green, one piece black—giving a rather strange feeling.

Senior, this is the Three Sect Plains; where should we go next?

One of the Bai Song Gu Elders asked Yun Xiantai; their two tasks were simply to guide the way, and all actions were to obey Yun Xiantai's commands.

First, let's look around.

The Three Sect Plains is neither big nor small; mainly, for Yun Xiantai and the others who are Emperor Sovereigns and Great Emperors, it is not large.

One's divine sense could easily cover it, but to avoid startling the snake, nobody dared to casually unleash their divine sense, for otherwise Lie Xue and Old Ling might detect it.

Within the Three Sect Plains there are not a few large and small settlements, though calling them cities, they are more like villages.

Some lack even basic walls; those that do have walls feel as if they're about to collapse.

Moreover, the scale is basically not large, and the environment inside is dirty and chaotic; the various buildings have no planning at all, just haphazardly you build one, I build one.

After leading Yun Xiantai and the others around the entire Three Sect Plains, the two Bai Song Gu Elders began to feel doubtful.

No, we've walked several rounds already; what are we still looking at here?

Unable to hold back, one of the Bai Song Gu Elders spoke up.

Senior, what are we looking for?

Yun Xiantai and the others look like they're searching for something, but there's nothing to find in the Three Sect Plains.

At that moment, Yun Xiantai suddenly saw a small earthen mound ahead.

This mound is not regular; one side is indented, forming just a place that can shelter from wind and rain, and its area is not small either.

In a single step he arrived beneath the mound, looked it over from all sides, and Yun Xiantai nodded in satisfaction.

Good, good, good—this place is fine; it's on the outskirts, so it won't go deep into the battlefield, it's not far, and it also has natural cover—good, good.

Huh???

Upon hearing that, the two Bai Song Gu Elders were dazed—what's good about it?

The two of them also examined the small mound before them, discovering they couldn't see what was special about it—why it was good.

Full of doubt, they gave Hong Zun and the others a strange look, only to see everyone also nodding repeatedly.

Or rather, Qing Shi noticed the Elders' expressions were off and laughed as he explained.

We're looking for a spot for Little Ye Zhangqing to set up a kitchen; when the battle starts we'll have Ye Zhangqing cook here so it's convenient for us to eat.

Huh???

In the midst of war, you don't do anything else—your first reaction is to look for a kitchen?

But after a moment's thought, the two Elders also recalled that Ye Zhangqing's food absolutely boosts combat power tremendously—it's completely a weapon that can turn the tide of battle.

So, first finding a kitchen doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Moreover, being able to eat such delicious food on the battlefield would also greatly boost morale.

Seeing the two gradually come around, Qing Shi also smiled and nodded.

Figured it out?

Mm.

Let's go, we're heading back.

Just going back like that?

Otherwise, the matter's already settled.

Yun Xiantai came personally just to confirm the kitchen's location; now a suitable spot has been found—why stay any longer? Let's head back and get ready to begin work.

We went all this way just to find a suitable spot for the kitchen?

The two elders had mixed feelings, opened their mouths but ultimately said nothing, just nodded and headed toward Bai Song Gu.

Everything is ready, only the final condition remains.

In Yun Xiantai's mind, as long as Ye Zhangqing has his kitchen, failure is impossible; the kitchen is the most important factor in battle, and he's quite satisfied with that little earth mound—this battle is as good as won.
