Outsiders did not know what the Thousand-faced Fox meant to her. She could not let the Thousand-faced Fox fall into someone else's hands. In fact, she did not believe that Miao Yi and the others could pass the final stage of the assessment. That was why she personally went there. As long as she went, no matter who killed Miao Yi and the Thousand-faced Fox, her husband was one of the 72 Marquises of the Heavenly Court. If she personally went to ask for it, everyone would at least give her some face. Generally, no one would keep a little vixen from her.
In other words, she was not going there for Miao Yi and the others, but for the Thousand-faced Fox.
Kou Wenlan could naturally see that. As she left the harem, she was still grumbling to herself. She was a commander after all, yet the life and death of her subordinates were not as important as a pet. How ridiculous.
However, after Huangfujun? Y's request, he had already put away his arrogance in front of his superiors. Some words were just bottled up in his heart.
Speaking of Huangfujun? As soon as Kou Wenlan returned to her residence, someone came to inform her. Huangfujun? Y asked for an audience.
Inside the hall, Huangfujun walked in leisurely. After greeting Y, Kou Wenlan invited him to take a seat and asked with a smile, "Huangfujun, what brings you here?"
Huangfujun? Y smiled, "I wouldn't dare. I just know that the assessment in the lifeless land is more important to you. The assessment is almost over, so I wanted to ask you what your plans are. You don't seem to be in a bad mood. Is there some good news? "
In truth, she was here to find out if Miao Yi was alive or dead. She had also tried asking Yun Zhiqiu about it, but Yun Zhiqiu naturally pretended not to know anything. After some thought, she concluded that Kou Wenlan must have kept in touch with Miao Yi, so she decided to come and check it out.
She could not tell how she felt about Miao Yi. She often wished for Miao Yi to die, but she was also conflicted about whether he was alive or dead.
"The plans will depend on the final results. I will be leaving soon. I hope my subordinates can pass the final stage." Kou Wenlan could not help but sigh.
Huangfujun? Y's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "Your subordinates, Niu Youde, are still alive?"
Kou Wenlan chuckled, "I know you have a problem with Niu Youde, but I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time. He's still alive and well."
Huangfujun? Y secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, on the surface, he snorted coldly and said, "Then he really is lucky!"
His words made Kou Wenlan cover her mouth with a handkerchief and laugh.
As for Kou Wenlan, she still had matters to attend to. She had to leave with Lady Biyue. Huangfu Jun? Y did not want to disturb him.
After bidding farewell. As soon as he left the City Guard Palace, he entered the carriage. Huangfu Jun? Y immediately revealed a mixed expression. He was happy that Miao Yi was still alive, but he was worried that the last stage of the assessment would be difficult.
At the Cloud Beauty Restaurant, Yun Zhiqiu was no longer in the mood to take care of his business. Filled with worry, he often looked up at the starry sky alone under the moonlight.
Qian'Er, Xue'Er, the Ouyang sisters, Fu Qing, and the others were all feeling a little off. As the end of the assessment drew nearer, each and every one of them began to feel anxious. If anything were to happen to Miao Yi, then everything would change for them.
In fact, Yun Zhiqiu was already thinking about how to deal with Fu Qing and the others if anything happened.
The situation was clear. Without Miao Yi as the leader to guide the current situation, without Miao Yi's influence in name, friendship, influence, and profit, Fu Qing and the others would definitely have to pull the forces of the Sea of Constellations over to the greater world. And the prerequisite for this was that they would have to master the route between the greater world and the lesser world.
Now that Miao Yi was gone, Yun Zhiqiu's first priority was to protect Miao Yi's family. She wouldn't just leave those concubines of Miao Yi's. This could be considered as an explanation to Miao Yi. Her second priority was to avenge him.
The scholar and the others in the Cloud Beauty Restaurant were already on high alert, while the chef had gone to Celestial Planet. She was prepared to ask for help from Zhongli Kuai of Skytraversing Palace. At the crucial moment, she had to let Zhongli Kuai know the true relationship between her and Miao Yi.
The carpenter and stonemason had already arrived at the great world, while the carpenter had gone to the Phaseless Planet. He hid near the Vitality Gate, ready to ask for help from the Vitality Gate to stop the pursuers. Meanwhile, the stonemason hid with the Ouyang sisters in the crystal shop, ready to cover the sisters' retreat through the tunnel. Yun Zhiqiu had given him a death order. He could not be harmed. The Ouyang sisters could not be harmed. It was like training an army for a thousand days.
Over at the lesser world, Yan Xiu was already hiding near the Great Devil Realm, waiting for Yun Zhiqiu's notice to ask for help from the Great Devil Realm. This was to prevent the people from the Subjugation Crusade from obstructing their retreat and harming Qin Weiwei. Once something happened, Yun Zhiqiu would immediately inform Qin Weiwei to seal off the great defensive formation and wait for reinforcements from the Great Devil Realm. As for Miao Yi's unfilial little sister, she was ready to give up. Miao Yi was no longer around. Yun Zhiqiu would not risk the life and death of her family just because Yue Yao was under someone else's control.
Meanwhile, Pi Junzi was already busily working under the Heavenly Street, digging a deep tunnel that led to another city gate.
If something happened to Miao Yi, or if something happened to Fu Qing and the others, Yun Zhiqiu would have to quickly leave with her people. Otherwise, if Fu Qing and the others came with a large force from the Heavenly Court, she would not be able to stop them at the Heaven Street. Madam Biyue had also left Heaven's Origin Planet. Hence, she had to return to the lesser world as soon as possible to ask for help from Devil Sage Yun Aotian. She also had to pull Devil Sage Yun Aotian and the Yun family's forces to the greater world. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to exact revenge with her current forces. Once the Yun family's forces arrived, Fu Qing and the others would not dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, not only would the Subjugation Crusade be destroyed, but their true identities in the Heavenly Court would also be exposed. Yun Zhiqiu wanted to borrow the Yun family's influence to take over the Subjugation Crusade.
However, the prerequisite was that she had to leave the East District of the Heaven Street, which was currently under Fu Qing's control. Otherwise, it would be too late if Fu Qing and the others made the first move. When that time came, Fu Qing and the others would not have to worry about exposing their identities. At most, they would no longer be working in the Heavenly Court. As long as they obtained the tunnel leading to the lesser world, there were plenty of places to live in the greater world. In any case, it would be much better than staying cooped up in the Subjugation Crusade. If things didn't work out, they could just retreat to the lesser world. Yun Zhiqiu and the others could easily imagine what would happen to them.
Regardless of whether Fu Qing and the others would make any sudden moves, Yun Zhiqiu was making all sorts of preparations just in case.
With Miao Yi's life on the line, she didn't dare to distract him. She also instructed the others not to distract him, or else they would report their worries to him. Even if Miao Yi was in a land of death, as long as he made the necessary arrangements, everything would be easily resolved. Miao Yi only needed to give Kou Wenlan a heads up, and he would be able to use the men from the City Guard Palace to control Fu Qing and the others at any time. He would immediately make them a mere figurehead, and he could even take their lives. Miao Yi could even call the Vitality Sect's men over as a precaution. With the connections the Vitality Sect had built up through managing the general store, even if they were to stop Fu Qing and the others for a while, it wouldn't be a big deal. Miao Yi also had other connections he could use. This was why Fu Qing and the others had to behave themselves as long as Miao Yi was around.
However, it wasn't just because she didn't want to distract Miao Yi. Things hadn't reached the point of falling out yet. As Miao Yi's woman, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't cause a rift between Miao Yi and Fu Qing and the others. Once Miao Yi returned, their hearts would be gone as well.
For a moment, Yun Zhiqiu and her family understood the importance of Miao Yi as their pillar of support. Miao Yi's life and death concerned everyone's interests. This was a group of people with Miao Yi at its core …
On Planet Sandstone, a skinny man with a full beard stood on a hillside with his hands behind his back. He was surrounded by four people on each side, with him in the middle.
The sand on the ground rumbled as the strong winds blew. After the group of demons and devils bid farewell to him, they scattered in all directions. In the blink of an eye, only nine people were left.
Miao Yi had seen these nine people before. They were the ones who had led over a hundred demons and devils during the capture of the fugitives. Their leader was called Qiu Danghai, and he had a cultivation at the Golden Lotus Eighth Grade. The eight people beside him were all at the Golden Lotus Fifth Grade and above as well.
"Commander Qiu, we only have eleven fugitives on hand right now. We might not be able to help Great Commander Kou take first place if we go back like this. Only by taking more than half of the fugitives will we be able to secure first place!" Commander Dong Feng said.
The so-called Great Commander Kou wasn't referring to Kou Wenlan. Even Kou Wenlan wouldn't be able to create such a huge commotion in this assessment. However, this group of people was indeed related to Kou Wenlan. They were all subordinates of his cousin, Kou Wenhuang. Kou Wenlan's group wasn't the only one participating in this assessment. To be more precise, Kou Wenlan was an unimportant side character. It was only by coincidence that the Kou Clan placed the focus of this assessment on the group led by Qiu Danghai.
It was precisely because of this that Miao Yi and the others managed to escape when they bumped into Qiu Danghai. Qiu Danghai's eyes were already filled with hostility at the time, and he had the urge to attack Miao Yi and the others the moment he saw Kou Wenqing helping to stop Xiahou Longcheng. Knowing that Miao Yi and the others were Kou Wenlan's subordinates, he decided to spare Miao Yi and the others after considering that it wouldn't be appropriate to attack the other members of the Kou Clan right from the start.
And with such a powerful background behind them, they naturally wouldn't be satisfied with just getting a good ranking or returning alive like Miao Yi and the others. What they wanted was to fight for first place!
However, when it came to the middle of the assessment, these people temporarily went into hiding, because there was no point in running around anymore. They wouldn't be able to bump into anyone even if they wanted to. Everyone was conserving their strength for the final battle!
Qiu Danghai said solemnly, "Of course we can't just go back like this. The star gate that leads to Yin Ding Domain is the final destination of the assessment. Everyone will have to gather there in the end. That is where the final battle will take place. We can just wait there. I only hope that everyone will do their best this time. As long as we can get first place, we will be able to help the Great Commander ascend to the position of Head Commander.
"We will do our best!" Everyone cupped their fists and replied.
"Let's go!" Qiu Danghai waved his hand, and the group took to the skies.
