The bridal escort army was indeed still in the Divine Martial Kingdom… due to the fact that Jiang Yi contacted the heaven and earth laws, causing the Heaven and Earth Anomaly. It was why the bridal escort army had been delayed; if not, they would already have made it into the Great Xia Kingdom's territory.
When the nine rays of divine light shot into Mt. Fire Cloud, the bridal escort army was at the southern part of Divine Martial Kingdom. They were about to detour around Mt. Thirty Thousand, advancing towards the Soul Break Valley.
With such a horrifying heaven-and-earth energy wave, it naturally alarmed the Soul Travel Realm experts in the army; and it also surprised Xia Wuhui. He immediately issued an order for the army to stop and stay vigilant while sending out scouts to investigate. These scouts quickly met with the scouts that were sent by Xia Tingwei.
