Fear was one thing, but it also gave Miao Yi some confidence. If the Minister of Ban Yue had some kind of power to make a Cailian expert stay, then that would be truly terrifying. Such a deceptive trick was nothing to worry about.
Seeing that there were no more movements around, Miao Yi decided to let go. As the shuttle searched the forest, he invoked his arts and shouted, "Minister of Ban Yue … Minister of Ban Yue … Minister of Ban Yue …" His voice reverberated everywhere he went.
Soon, there was a response. An ethereal voice came from the forest, "Who is it?"
Miao Yi didn't know where the voice came from. He landed and stopped, "Someone from the Heavenly Court."
After a moment of silence, the other party replied, "I have no contact with anyone from the Heavenly Court. Why are you looking for me?"
He found the person! Miao Yi replied, "I have something to discuss with you."
The other party rejected, "I think we should pass. I have never provoked anyone from the Heavenly Court."
"You really have never provoked anyone?" Miao Yi sneered, "Don't tell me you're avoiding me because you don't know about your wife's past."
This time, the other party really fell silent and didn't reply.
Miao Yi believed that the other party could hear him, so he said again, "If it's a blessing, it won't be a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Some things have to be resolved sooner or later. I'm here to give you a chance. I hope this matter will be resolved peacefully."
"Resolved peacefully?" The other party's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of mockery, "Do you think you can bargain with me when you come knocking on my door?"
"If I didn't want to resolve peacefully, I wouldn't have come looking for you like this. Can't I show my sincerity by coming alone?" Miao Yi raised his hand to his forehead and wiped away the Soul Concealing Paste, revealing the First Grade Golden Lotus on his forehead. He looked around and said, "This is my sincerity. It's up to you whether you want to negotiate or not. If you're not willing, I'll leave immediately without a second word!" There was another meaning behind his words, telling him to bear the consequences!
The forest was silent for a moment again. The other party's voice rang out again, "Bring him here!"
With a whoosh, an old tree a few dozen feet away swayed its leaves and flashed with a white light. It transformed into a small old man and walked over, saying respectfully, "Heavenly Official, please follow me!"
Miao Yi nodded and followed him, flying through the forest together. Along the way, Miao Yi wanted to memorize the route. However, the mist in the forest seemed to be controlled by someone. It became thicker and thicker, making it impossible to see far and make out the surrounding terrain.
Soon, the two of them landed under a large tree. The hollow of the tree was wide open, revealing a passageway. Miao Yi walked in, and after taking a few steps down the stairs, he realized that it was dark. When he turned around, he found that the tree hole behind him was already closed.
Even though he was on high alert, his footsteps did not slow down at all. His expression did not change at all as he walked forward with large and steady steps.
The underground was like a maze. From time to time, the roots of plants could be seen above the passageways. It was obvious that there was someone who cultivated in the Earth Attribute Cultivation Method controlling them. The passageway at the back would close up from time to time, and the layer of soil at the front would melt from time to time. One could sense that they were already very deep underground.
They walked for a while. Light appeared in front of them, and an underground garden appeared. All kinds of exotic flowers and plants grew underground, and their fragrance wafted out, mixed with some glowing plants. It gave this place a different kind of charm, and it was really not inferior to the spring scenery on the land.
Silence! He did not know if this underground garden was originally quiet, or if it had only become quiet after Miao Yi came.
Miao Yi looked around coldly, and his gaze fixed on the steps of the main hall in front of him. There was a tall and thin man in a white robe, with an average appearance. Standing next to him was a woman with a seductive figure in a green muslin dress. Her skin was very fair and clean, and she looked very elegant.
After the small demon brought the person over, the man in the white robe slightly tilted his head, and the small demon bowed and retreated.
Miao Yi went up without being invited, and directly walked up the steps, towards the two people on the steps, with a rather open and open manner.
The two people on the steps looked at each other, and their hearts were a little heavy. Miao Yi gave them a lot of pressure, because for so many years, no one had ever been able to enter the Carefree Forest without falling for it. But this person could run around in the Carefree Forest as if nothing had happened. With a mere Golden Lotus First Grade cultivation, he actually dared to come alone and risk his life. If he was not bold, then he must have something to rely on!
The two people moved to the left and right to make way, and the man stretched out his hand to invite him in, "Please!"
Miao Yi looked straight ahead, dressed in golden armor, and had a rather dignified and imposing manner.
As soon as they entered the main hall, the host and guests took their seats, and the small demons naturally served tea. Miao Yi looked up at the woman sitting in the hostess seat, and asked calmly, "You are Su Lu Er?"
The woman gently nodded, "That's me! Su Lu Er is already in the past, and the past is unbearable to look back on. Now it is Qing Mei. "She looked at Miao Yi with a gaze that was difficult to conceal.
"Reverend Father?" Miao Yi's gaze fell on the male host as he asked.
Reverend Father grunted in acknowledgement. He was also unwilling to follow Miao Yi?? Gather? Ben You Gu Ao Lang Qu Yuan Chao Ping Shuo Jun
Miao Yi's gaze fell on Qing Mei again, "Your ex-husband was a general of the Celestial Court. You murdered him for his wealth, didn't you?"
Qing Mei calmly replied, "I did indeed kill him, but I did not say that I murdered him for his wealth. Back then, I gave myself to him with the intention of growing old together, but who would have thought that he was a beast in human form. In order to curry favor with his superior, he actually asked me to serve him in bed. Even though I am a demon, I still have my dignity. How could I endure such a great humiliation? In my grief and indignation, I killed him while he was unprepared, and then fled afterwards. However, when I fled, I did not touch any of his belongings.
If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. "Murong Xinghua should have heard these words, Miao Yi muttered in his heart," If what you said is true, then I sympathize with you. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being blind and having met a bad person. As for whether your words are true or false, it's not important, and it's also not important whether I believe you or not. What's important is that you killed him. How can the officials of the Celestial Court recklessly punish you! More importantly, you are now on the wanted list. The Celestial Court's crackdown on the accumulated cases has begun, and this time, they will definitely bring you to justice! "
Qing Mei was silent. She also understood that what happened to her was only her personal misfortune. At most, outsiders would sympathize with her, but they would not care whether she lived or died. To the Celestial Court, she was just an ant. There were too many unfortunate ants in the world, and it was impossible to count them all. What the Celestial Court cared about was whether or not she had violated the laws of heaven!
After hiding for so many years, she thought that the matter was already over. Previously, she also heard rumors that the Celestial Court was going to capture a fugitive, but she didn't think that they would be able to catch her. As she thought of this, she couldn't help but reveal an indignant expression, "There are so many people who have committed heinous crimes in this world. Why do they have to target an insignificant person like me?"
Miao Yi calmly said, "To the Celestial Court, you are indeed an insignificant person. When no one cares about you, you are an insignificant person, and no one will even think of you. But when someone does, you will be a name on the fugitive list. I don't think I need to explain this to you."
The Reverend Duke said, "We are not here to listen to your reasoning. Tell me, how can we resolve this peacefully?"
Miao Yi calmly said, "Hand her over and let me take her back to settle this. I promise that your wife's matter will not implicate you. What do you think?"
Bang! The Reverend Duke slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "What kind of bullshit is this?! How dare you trick me! Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're from the Celestial Court. You're just a Golden Lotus cultivator, and yet you dare to act so arrogantly here? I think you must be tired of living! "
Without another word, the Reverend Duke was about to make a move, but his wife, Qing Mei, quickly pulled him back.
Glancing at Miao Yi, who was silently sipping on his tea, Qing Mei bitterly advised, "Husband, since you're sitting down, why don't you explain things clearly?"
It wasn't that she had never interacted with people from the Celestial Court before. In fact, back when she was still the Governor's concubine, she had interacted with them quite a bit. However, she had never seen someone like Miao Yi, especially someone with a Golden Lotus First Grade cultivation who could charge into the Carefree Forest unscathed. Not to mention, someone who dared to act so calmly in the face of danger was even rarer. She suddenly felt the pressure of being unable to escape from this calamity!
The Reverend Duke grabbed her arm and said in an unusually agitated tone, "Sending you out to die is absolutely impossible. Step aside, let me kill this dog of a official!"
Miao Yi glanced at Qing Mei's reaction and thought to himself, 'It seems like the breakthrough point still lies with this woman.' He calmly said, "Killing me might be easy, but you won't be able to bear the consequences. If I don't return by the deadline, the Celestial Court's forces will immediately surround me!"
With Qing Mei desperately trying to stop him, the Reverend Duke pointed at Miao Yi and shouted, "Dog of a official! Don't try to scare me. Don't think I don't know that you've only sent a thousand Captains here, and they've spread out to capture a hundred people. Just a few useless soldiers and crab generals dare to talk about surrounding and attacking me? We don't even know who will be attacking who! "
'Damn it! ' Miao Yi cursed in his heart. They hadn't even arrived yet, and the news had already been leaked out. Wasn't this a trap?
But he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it. With so many clans and so many people involved, it was inevitable that the news would leak out.
Miao Yi stood up and said, "You only know that a thousand Captains have arrived, but you don't know that this is just the beginning. I've already said that the Celestial Court's purge of the accumulated cases has already begun. Otherwise, there wouldn't be this capture. You might be able to escape from the hands of a thousand Captains, but when the official purge begins, where can you run to?"
The Reverend Duke laughed sinisterly and said, "Dog of a official, don't think that you can do anything just because the Celestial Court has sealed off all the entrances and exits. The universe is so vast. If I kill a dog of a official like you, I don't believe that you'll be able to find us in the vast universe!" He turned around and said, "Madam, since the Celestial Court has already come knocking on our door, we can't stay here any longer. Let's kill him and leave immediately. The universe is vast. I don't believe that we can't find a place to settle down."
Miao Yi said, "The universe is vast. If we can't find a place to settle down, it'll be quite tragic. It's normal to die while drifting endlessly. It's actually quite troublesome to find a place to settle down so easily. If you can find it easily, the Celestial Court will be able to find it sooner or later. If you slip through the net this time, you'll definitely become the Celestial Court's main target. The Celestial Court's pursuit of you will never end, until they execute you! "
