"Hold on, General, I don't think Han Xiao has the qualifications to become a marshal." Jiang Yao was the first to speak.

"Rulers, I think so too. Han Xiao is the Crown Prince who might be able to play in the palace, but if he wants to march and fight, I think we should forget about it." The commander of the Black Tortoise Army, Zhuo Junyang, said.

"I think we should forget about the general army. Even if Han Xiao is half your Xiao family's descendant, you shouldn't come up with this method to protect your Xiao family's position in the Xiao family's army." Dan Xun said.

Hearing the three people's words, Xiao Wei's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Han Xiao step forward and indifferently look at the three of them, "The three of you are all capable people, not to mention I didn't say that I want to compete with you."

"If you don't want to compete with us, don't tell me you want to be the great marshal yourself. Han Xiao, from what I see, you are getting more and more arrogant." Jiang Yao said in disdain.

"As a defeated general, Jiang You Jun has no right to call me arrogant, right?" Han Xiao indifferently looked at Jiang Yao and continued, "I just said that the position of commander-in-chief is held by those who are capable. I heard that grandfather was able to gain the approval of the entire Xiao family's army because he created the Heavenly Dipper Killing Array. Relying on the might of the Heavenly Dipper Killing Array, I wonder if I'm right?"

"Yes, could it be that His Highness wants to break the Heavenly Dipper Killing Array?" Benin asked.

"That's right, since Jiang You Jun wants to compete with me, let's see who can break through the formation. I believe that even if we can break through the formation, it would be enough to convince the entire Xiao family." Han Xiao looked around and said.

"What a joke, you can't break through the formation just because you want to. In addition, with your twenty men from the Cloud Army, even if you fight it head-on, it would still be enough to break through the formation. This suggestion of yours is not feasible at all." Jiang Yao said coldly.

Hearing Jiang Yao say this, Han Xiao's lips curved up in a mocking smile, "Who said we have to rely on the Cloud Army? My meaning is that I have broken through the Heavenly Dipper Killing Array myself."

"That's impossible. You don't understand the power of His Highness the Crown Prince's [Heavenly Dipper] killing array, but don't talk about the fact that you're only at the initial stage of the Spirit Severing Stage. Even Immortal Transcendents would be seriously injured if they enter the [Heavenly Battle Array]." Benin said hastily.

"I only said that because I know the power of the Heavenly Dipper Killing Array. Moreover, I've already made up my mind. You don't need to try and persuade me." Han Xiao said.

"Han Xiao, if you want to die, go by yourself. Don't drag us in, I definitely wouldn't want to go to the Heaven Breaking Astral Killing Array like you." Dan Xun directly expressed his attitude.

"I haven't gone crazy to seek death myself." Zhuo Junyang said coldly.

"Does this mean that everyone believes that I will die without a doubt once I enter the Heavenly Dipper Formation?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That's not nonsense. Since ancient times, there has never been a single person who managed to walk out of the formation unscathed." Jiang Yao said as he hugged his shoulder.

Hearing Jiang Yao say this, Han Xiao's lips curved into a smile of unknown meaning as he said, "Since that's the case, let's make a bet. If I can safely walk out of the formation then I'll win, the position of marshal will be handed over to the general, and all of you will obediently listen to the general's commands. If I'm not able to walk out or come out with even a little injury on my body, that'll be my loss, and I'll represent the general's retreat from the marshal's competition with Xiao Benin."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Hearing Han Xiao's words, Xiao Wei could no longer stay calm, but just as he opened his mouth, he saw Han Xiao shaking his head at him, and could only look at Han Xiao in regret.

Noticing that Xiao Wei wasn't willing to give Han Xiao another look, Jiang Yao and the other two thought for a moment before nodding their heads, "Alright, I agree. All soldiers heed my orders and assemble into the Astral Killing Array."

To the side, Benin saw that Jiang Yao and the other two had agreed to start the formation. Although he was unwilling, he could only give the order in his heart, "Green Dragon Army, listen up. The formation is called the formation."

Following the order, the three hundred thousand soldiers quickly began to move. In order to give the Xiao family's army a seat, Xuanyuan Fen and the men retreated a few thousand meters back. It wasn't until they were sure that the Xiao family's troops wouldn't be affected, that they stopped moving.

The men from the Xiao family's four armies, the 36 stars, had all put down their premonitions and moved according to their original positions. If one were to look from up in the sky, it would be a magnificent sight to behold.

As for Han Xiao, he stood beside Xiao Wei and the rest, calmly watching the soldiers' movements. There was a faint smile on his face, making it hard for others to guess just what he was thinking about.

Roughly two hours later, the great army stood there, waiting for the order to activate the formation.

"Han Xiao, the Heavenly Dipper Death Formation has already been set up. You can go in now." Jiang Yao said with a sneer. In his opinion, Han Xiao was simply throwing himself onto a road of death. He didn't mind giving Han Xiao a push.

"I know, but before I go to break the formation, I want to sign a guarantee with all of you. If I really come out safely, if you don't admit it, then I won't even have a place to cry." Han Xiao said.

"Hmph, can we still bully you?" Dan Xun said in dissatisfaction.

"I was just afraid of what might happen, so I still need you all to sign your names here." As Han Xiao said this, he took out a written guarantee from his storage ring and passed it to the three of them. Although he felt dissatisfied in his heart, because he was sure Han Xiao would lose, the three Jiang Yao's group signed their names on the guarantee.

On the other hand, Han Xiao kept the guarantee and passed it to Xi Yun.

"Xi Yun, it would be better if I gave you this guarantee. You could also be a witness." Han Xiao said.

"Han Xiao, don't worry. If someone is really going to deny it, he'll have to ask my Yun Jun if he agrees." As he spoke, Xi Yun placed the guarantee into his own storage ring.

Seeing that Xi Yun had put away the certificate, Han Xiao no longer hesitated and flew to the center of the formation. At the same time, Xiao Wei also waved his hand and shouted, "Activate the formation."

"Haaargh!" As the soldiers shouted, Han Xiao felt a white mist slowly rise up, and then quickly enveloping the entire Heavenly Dipper Death Formation, because of the fog, he was unable to see the path clearly, but he did not panic, instead, he raised his foot and followed the route that he remembered, and took the lead as he walked towards the Heavenly Brave Star's Azure Dragon. As he did so, Han Xiao felt the surrounding wind started to become stronger, and the fluttering wind made his ears hurt, but he did not care about it.

The people outside could only see that the situation within the formation was unclear. However, because of their confidence in the formation, the three of them were looking at the formation complacently. As for Xiao Ya and Xiao Benin, the two of them were looking worriedly at the formation as time passed, but currently, no one was paying attention to the passage of time, not even noticing the white light that was flashing within the formation.

"The Black Tortoise position of the planet, the White Tiger position of the planet, and the Vermillion Bird position of the planet!" While silently thinking about his route, he quickly went through the array, every step he took was perfect, and he was also able to avoid the attacks from the array. Han Xiao's pace did not change as he calculated how many steps he had taken, and how many steps he had to continue moving forward.

Compared to the bustling scene outside the array, the outside was a sea of silence. As time passed, the expressions on Xiao Benin and Xiao Xianxia's faces became uglier and uglier. On the other hand, Jiang Yao and the others had very happy expressions, as if they were already on the verge of victory and could even see the scene of them becoming marshal.

Compared to the different thoughts of Xiao Wei and Jiang Yao, Xi Yun's expression was very calm, as if he didn't care about the outcome of the bet at all, and he didn't care about Han Xiao's life at all.

"Heavenly Kui Star, Azure Dragon, final." The Qi that was connected to each other seemed to have been cut off from the middle. If one were to look from the air, they would see that there was a white source energy ball left behind where Han Xiao walked past, and this source energy ball happened to be at the point where every astral star was connected, and the 36 source energy balls directly destroyed the Heavenly Dipper Death Formation from the inside.

BOOM! Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the array formation, and the white mist that had enveloped the array formation slowly dispersed. Seeing the white mist suddenly dissipate, Jiang Yao felt a trace of unease in his heart, and he and Zhuo Junyang also stopped being as relaxed as before. They couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction of the Heavenly Dipper Death Formation with great effort, as if wanting to see what exactly had happened inside.

"Swish." With a loud piercing sound, a blue figure flew out from the formation and landed in front of the three people. Although he found it hard to believe, Han Xiao still appeared in front of the three people, and without any injuries at all.

BOOM! Another loud sound came from within the formation, and the white mist completely dispersed to reveal the soldiers inside. The soldiers had looks of astonishment on their faces, clearly not knowing what had happened.

"You three, I've broken through the Heavenly Dipper Death Formation as per my words. I wonder if you three can fulfill my promise?" Han Xiao asked with a faint smile.

"How could it be that I don't believe it, you must have used some underhanded method to trick us. Just Zhuo Junyang, don't be fooled by this brat." Jiang Yao was the first to shout out loud.

"Jiang Yao, don't spout nonsense. You guys have been watching the crown prince's useless methods the entire time. You know very well that now you're saying this, don't you want to admit it?" Benin took a step forward.

"Jiang Yao, Dan Xun, and Zhuo Junyang, are you two? You've all signed the guarantee. If you really want to go back on your word, you can ask me and my Yun Jun first." Xi Yun said with a smile, but his smile was filled with coldness.

Looking at the guarantee in Xi Yun's hands and then looking at Yun Jun who was glaring at him like a tiger, although Jiang Yao and the other two were unwilling, they could only swallow their bitterness and slowly turn to face Xiao Xianxuan on one knee, saying, "We pay our respects to the marshal."
