"You …" Murong Xing Hua was enraged as well. Right now, she was rather sensitive to the word 'slut'. However, after considering the reality, she did not flare up. She angrily replied, "If we conspired to harm you, how could we remain indifferent? Why don't we deal with you together? If the three of us were to ride on the Tempest Beast and assist us, how could Zheng Rulong allow you to kill so easily?!"
Miao Yi had to admit that what they said made sense, but he couldn't quell the rage in his heart. Naturally, he had to question them, "You've tried time and again to ignore my secret plans. You have ulterior motives, and yet you still dare to quibble!?"
Yang Tai cupped his hands and said, "Brother Niu, now that things have come to this, there's no harm in us making things clear. Yes! We did conspire behind your back several times, but that wasn't our intention. It was Zheng Rulong who pulled us over to discuss it. He wanted to obtain the equipment that the Great Commander gave you to protect himself, but we repeatedly refused. With the thought that one more person means more strength, we refused to make a move against you. Who would have thought that this despicable person would first find an excuse to leave you alone, and when we arrived at the edge of the Forgetful Forest, he said that he wanted to scout first, once again leaving the three of us behind. Now that the two of you are fighting, we know that he was afraid that the three of us would stop him, so he deliberately diverted the three of us away from you, so that he could turn back and make a move against you. Just like what Murong said, if we really wanted to harm you, we would definitely do it together with Zheng Rulong. At the very least, when Zheng Rulong was escaping just now, he should have asked the three of us for help. Brother Niu, why don't you calm down and think about it? Don't be blinded by your anger. "
After hearing these words, the rage in Miao Yi's heart subsided a little because the other party's words weren't baseless. However, he still said hatefully, "Since you knew he wanted to harm me, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Murong Xinghua, "Inform? Tell what? So that the two of you can fight and break up our team? We don't want him to kill you, but we also don't want you to fall out with him. It's not good for any of us if the two of you fall out! "
Xu Tangran also sighed, "Brother Niu, the three of us really didn't want to harm you. If we really wanted to harm you, the four of us would have plenty of opportunities to do so. Brother Ox, one of our people has already died, and the strongest one has already died in your hands. Stop causing trouble. The hundred-year period has just begun. If you continue to cause trouble, none of us will be able to return alive. Even if you have a problem with us, you should think about it for yourself. "
None of the people present were good people. Miao Yi wanted nothing more than to kill the three of them to prevent any future troubles, so that he wouldn't have to worry all day about someone plotting against him from behind. However, he was alone without any help, and he was unfamiliar with this place as well. The situation was worrying. Moreover, he didn't want to go against Cao Wanxiang unless he had no other choice. Otherwise, even if he returned, he would not have a good life.
Most importantly, the three of them also had the support of the Tempest Beast. Even if he wanted to kill them, he might not be able to catch up to them. He could only suppress the rage in his heart and snort coldly, "I'll trust you for now. If you dare to carry me again, I'll take your dog lives even if it means I have to fight to the death!" He raised the spear in his hand.
The few of them looked at the armor he was wearing. It was obvious that it was not the one Kou Wenlan had given him. They all wondered where he got it from.
"Alright, alright!" Yang Tai clapped his hands and smiled. "It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Zheng Rulong asked for it. He didn't listen to our advice and insisted on killing one another. If he dies, then so be it. It's not worth arguing over him. What's the point of making ourselves at odds with each other? "
"What should we do now?" Xu Tangran gestured towards the misty forest below with his lips, indicating that the Forest of Forgetfulness was right below.
The few of them looked down, instantly throwing their earlier unhappiness to the back of their minds. They were indeed in a difficult situation now. Putting aside the fact that the Reverend Reverend's cultivation was at the Golden Lotus Ninth Grade, it was rumored that even Colorful Lotus cultivators couldn't return from this place. It was clear that the owner of this place, the Reverend Reverend Reverend, was quite capable.
Giving up on the first mission of the assessment? It didn't matter if they gave up. As long as they could keep their lives and return, that was a good thing. However, they could only keep these thoughts to themselves. No one dared to say it out loud.
Miao Yi wanted to give up as well, but he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. He had a bunch of people working for him. If things went awry here and he couldn't return with a victory, Kou Wenlan's position as Grand Commander would probably be difficult to maintain. If Kou Wenlan's position was lost, then his position would also be untenable. All these years of hard work would go to waste.
The twenty percent share of the Morality Goods Store and the position he had exchanged with his life had allowed him to finally gain a foothold in the higher realms. He couldn't even convince himself to give up so easily.
After pondering for a moment, Miao Yi said, "Let's give it a try!"
Murong Xing Hua asked, "How do we test it?"
Miao Yi's gaze swept across the Forest of Forgetfulness, and he said word by word, "Go straight to Reverend Liu Yue and ask for her. Maybe Reverend Liu Yue will take the initiative to hand her over under the pressure of the Heavenly Court."
The three of them were speechless. Xu Tangran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm afraid that's unlikely. What if he doesn't hand it over?"
Miao Yi said, "We are members of the Heavenly Court. Why do we need to sneak around and look for trouble? We just need to openly reveal our identities. Even if he doesn't want to hand it over, as long as we don't do anything, it's unlikely that he'll do anything to us. After all, he doesn't know how many of us are here and how strong we are. He probably won't dare to act rashly. If we really can't handle it, we can just give up. There's no need for us to risk our lives by going after his entire family."
Yang Tai frowned. "That's true, but what if he's so protective of his wife that he decides to go all out?"
Miao Yi turned around and asked, "What do you guys think?"
Xu Tangran: "Why don't we find the next one first?"
Murong Xinghua: "I also think it's better to think this over. There's no need to rush things."
Yang Tai nodded in agreement.
Miao Yi fell silent. If he couldn't see any hope, then he wouldn't have persisted. There was clearly hope, but to give up and retreat at the slightest provocation wasn't his style.
Seeing that the three of them weren't willing to take the risk, Miao Yi said, "If that's the case, you guys can wait outside. I'll go meet Reverend Liu Yue and scout out the situation first."
'This lunatic actually wants to go alone!' The three of them exchanged glances. Murong Xinghua said, "You better think this through." What he meant was that no one was forcing him.
Miao Yi couldn't be bothered to waste his breath on them. Unlike them, he still had a huge family to feed. He had no choice but to give it his all. It was just as Yun Zhiqiu had said. He didn't marry a bunch of women just to sleep with him. Since they had already given themselves to him, he had to give them a future.
He put away the Tempest Beast and the Battle Armor on his body. Golden mist covered his body as he changed into the Five Segment Golden Armor of the Heavenly Court. With a flash, he descended into the forest below. In the blink of an eye, he entered the dense forest mist.
In the air, Yang Tai muttered, "What did Kou Wenlan give him to make him work so hard?!"
Murong Xinghua said, "He's like a man. If the Lady Boss of the Cloud Beauty Restaurant follows him, she wouldn't feel bad!"
Yang Tai and Xu Tangran looked at each other speechlessly. 'His words make it sound like we're not like men.'
Within the dense fog, the oddly shaped trees in the surroundings were faintly discernible like ghosts. According to the information given by Butterfly Flower, there was an underground palace in the Carefree Forest. That was where the Reverend Liu Yue and his wife stayed. No one knew its exact location.
Miao Yi muttered to himself. Trying to find them in this vast forest was like looking for a needle in a haystack. More importantly, the fog was sealing the area. He had no idea how long it would take to use his transcendence energy to search.
As he flew through the forest and invoked his transcendence energy, Miao Yi suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. He sensed that something was wrong. There was something strange about this fog. He quickly landed and used the Fiery Star Technique to defend himself.
"Niu Er!"
A familiar voice called out. Miao Yi looked up and saw Yun Zhiqiu leisurely walking out of the fog. She reached out to him with a worried expression and asked, "Are you alright?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. How could Yun Zhiqiu be here?
"Don't come any closer!" Miao Yi quickly raised his spear and slowly backed away. He instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but who here would know about his relationship with Yun Zhiqiu and impersonate him?
"Niu Er, what's wrong? It's me! Why aren't you wearing the armor that Yao Ruoxian refined for you? "
Miao Yi was shocked by Yun Zhiqiu's words. There was no way an outsider would know about this. Besides, he could smell the familiar scent on Yun Zhiqiu's body. How could an outsider impersonate him?
At first, he thought it was an impersonator and wanted to kill him with his spear. However, he didn't dare to act recklessly now. What if he accidentally killed Yun Zhiqiu? He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"
"I was worried about you! That's why I put aside my business and came looking for you. I even asked Kou Wenlan to help me out and … "
Under the effects of the Fiery Star Technique, the scene in front of Miao Yi suddenly changed. Yun Zhiqiu's voice also came to an abrupt halt.
The scene before him was horrifying. Yun Zhiqiu's outstretched hand had actually transformed into a sharp knife. The branch of an old tree had coiled around a knife, and it was slowly reaching for his neck. It was clear that Yun Zhiqiu was going to slit his throat.
"Demon!" Miao Yi suddenly shouted. He thrust his spear out and instantly cut off the knife-wielding branch with a loud crack.
However, the old tree shook its body and extended a few more branches, each with a knife wrapped around it. The branches slowly extended towards Miao Yi, showing no signs of a rapid attack.
Miao Yi immediately understood. Yun Zhiqiu probably thought he was still trapped in an illusion. If he was still immersed in the illusion, then who knew what illusion was bewitching him?
"You dare to show off your petty tricks? You're courting death!"
Miao Yi flicked his spear a few times and cut down all the branches that came his way. He then dashed forward and stabbed the old tree with his spear. At the same time, he sent an invisible flame into the tree. The old tree immediately let out a blood-curdling screech as it trembled in fear.
The ground trembled, and the old tree's branches shrank back. With a loud boom, the huge tree actually burrowed its entire body into the ground.
After a brief test, Miao Yi knew that it was only a low-grade tree demon. If he hadn't killed it, it probably wouldn't have survived.
Turning back, Miao Yi scanned his surroundings with lingering fear. He didn't know if it had any more tricks up its sleeves. His back was drenched in cold sweat. Just thinking about the situation just now made him shudder. Now he finally understood why even the Cailian experts couldn't escape after entering this place.
This illusion was simply too terrifying. If it weren't for the Fiery Star Technique restoring his clarity and allowing him to see the truth with his own eyes, his life would probably have been taken by that little demon just now. It was also because he saw the truth with his own eyes that he understood that it wasn't someone else using some sort of disguise to confuse him. Instead, he was deceiving himself. He knew all of his secrets, so it was naturally easy to deceive him.
