In the air, Qin Weiwei carried Miao Yi and asked anxiously, "Do you want to return to Jade Capital Peak and recuperate in peace?"
Miao Yi replied weakly, "Mu Fanjun might be keeping an eye on Jade Capital Peak. It's not a good idea to go back now. Let's wait for me to recover first. The ancient city is damaged, and I'm afraid it will attract cultivators to search everywhere. It's not a good place to hide. That ship shouldn't have drifted too far away. Go to the ship. "
Qin Weiwei nodded, understanding his meaning.
Just as they left the ancient city of Changfeng, a man and a woman appeared from a corner of the city. The man had average looks, but the woman had exquisite curves. She had bright, almond-shaped eyes and a delicate face.
"Your cultivation base isn't high enough. Stay here for now. I'll go take a look." The man threw down a sentence and was about to follow.
Unexpectedly, the woman reached out and grabbed his arm. "I'll go too!"
The man didn't seem to have the heart to reject her. After a moment of hesitation, he grabbed her wrist. A Red Lotus of the Sixth Grade appeared between his brows and dragged her out of the city. Using the cover of the night and the terrain, he followed far behind Qin Weiwei and the others …
Qin Weiwei and the others found the river they came from. Using the mountains on both sides of the river as cover, they followed the flow of the river. It didn't take them long to find the ship they had abandoned earlier.
It had only been less than half a day since they left the ship. After the ship was abandoned, it drifted with the current. Without anyone steering it, it couldn't have drifted far. In fact, it was even closer than they had imagined. The ship was stranded on a backwater riverbank, motionless.
Hong Mian and Lu Liu first boarded the ship and inspected it. After confirming that there was no one around, only then did Qin Weiwei carry Miao Yi into the cabin. She placed him on the bed, and continued to use the Glorious Star immortal herb to treat Miao Yi's injuries. Meanwhile, Hong Mian and Lu Liu invoked their arts to steer the boat once more, swiftly following the flow of the river.
No matter how fast the boat was, it couldn't be faster than the speed of flying. Furthermore, they were traveling along the river, and the path was clear. There was no need to worry about losing them. On the other hand, the man and woman following in the nearby mountains were much more relaxed. They didn't have to worry about being discovered. It could be said that they could easily follow on both sides of the mountain range.
"Big Brother Gan, what are you doing?" The woman noticed that the man had taken out a jade disk and was writing something, so she could not help but ask.
The man chuckled. He asked, "SuSu, do you know who was injured by the Hell Mantis?"
The woman's eyes flickered as she asked, "Does Big Brother Gan know him?"
She actually knew Miao Yi as well, but she had only met him a few times. He didn't know Miao Yi's true identity.
She was from East Arrival City, and her name was Fang Susu. Speaking of which, her entry into the cultivation realm was related to Miao Yi. Back then, when Miao Yi was still the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, he had unintentionally caught the embroidered ball she tossed out while he was playing in East Arrival City. Yet she had casually discarded it. This incident had made her the laughingstock of East Arrival City.
A young girl tossing an embroidered ball in search of a husband, yet she was rejected. How embarrassing was that? So she chased after Miao Yi, hoping to find an explanation. Who would have thought that Miao Yi was actually a cultivator? She finally understood the reason why he didn't like her. He was an Immortal, how could he take a liking to a mere mortal like her? She had a strong personality, so she was determined to become an Immortal. He wanted to seek justice in the future.
Later on, when Miao Yi was demoted to the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, he once again went sightseeing in East Arrival City and met her again. However, Miao Yi no longer recognized her. Even though she was acquainted with Miao Yi and had taken the initiative to get to know him, traveling together with him, she was still unable to find out his true identity. She only realized that even though her cultivation progress wasn't slow, there was still a huge gap between her and Miao Yi's. After that, Miao Yi abandoned her and left without saying goodbye. It had been many years since they last met.
It was pure luck that she was able to see Miao Yi again. There would be no stories without coincidences, nothing more than that.
When she was young, she didn't listen to her parents' advice and left her hometown in search of immortal fate. By the time she obtained it, her parents had already passed away. She hated herself for not being filial when she was alive, so every few years, she would return to her hometown and kowtow in front of her parents' graves. It had been like this for so many years.
The man traveling with her was called Gan Zeguang, a disciple of the Boundless Nation's Exquisite Refinement Sect.
The reason why Fang Susu knew him was related to Miao Yi. The last time she met Miao Yi, she realized how hard she had worked for so many years. She still couldn't close the gap between them, and the Boundless Imperial Advisor's School was truly too small. Even the Sect Master's cultivation was only slightly above that of the Red Lotus Sect. What else could she do? A small school was not enough to support her greater ambitions, so she set her sights on a higher place.
The highest place in the Boundless Nation was naturally the Boundless Heaven. However, the Boundless Heaven wasn't something she could get close to. She settled for the next best thing, and set her sights on the Exquisite Refinement Sect, which was related to the Boundless Heaven. After a few attempts, she finally got to know this Gan Zeguang.
To Fang Susu, Gan Zeguang's background wasn't simple. His master was Yao Ruoxian's Senior Brother, Xiang Baiting.
Her original intention was that Gan Zeguang would recommend her to join the Exquisite Refinement Sect, but it wasn't that easy. Not just the Exquisite Refinement Sect, no other sect would accept people so easily. However, Gan Zeguang had taken a liking to her beauty and had always been pursuing her. Even when Fang Susu returned to visit her parents' graves this time, he accompanied her.
To cultivators, East Arrival City wasn't far from Changfeng City. They were both within the borders of South Edict Manor. On their way back from visiting the graves, they passed by this place. A loud noise startled the two of them. They arrived before Qin Weiwei, and could be said to have personally witnessed the scene of Miao Yi being heavily injured by the Hell Mantis.
After the Hell Mantis retreated, Gan Zeguang originally wanted to take down the heavily injured Miao Yi. However, he was very wary of the five mantises. In addition, Qin Weiwei also arrived later on, so he decided to stay hidden and followed them.
At this moment, the two of them were traversing through the mountain forest by the riverside. Upon hearing Fang Susu's question, Gan Zeguang chuckled and said, "Of course I know him! Susu, you are truly my lucky star. If I hadn't followed you back to your hometown to pay my respects to our ancestors, how could I have accomplished such a great deed! That injured fellow is none other than that Miao traitor! "
Fang Susu was taken aback. She couldn't react for a moment and asked, "Which Miao traitor?"
Gan Zeguang laughed, "How many Miao traitors can there be? The infamous Miao traitor in the cultivation realm, the one who resides in the Sea of Constellations, the one who married the Lady Boss of Tempest Tavern. Have you never heard of him? "
Fang Susu exclaimed, "He is Miao Yi? Big Brother Gan, are you sure it's him? "
Gan Zeguang replied, "I can't be wrong! When he was causing trouble at the Exquisite Refinement Sect, I was there with my own eyes. How could I be wrong? Also, I saw that woman carrying him back then at the Exquisite Refinement Sect as well. She's his current concubine, Qin Weiwei. With her as a witness, I can't be wrong. This Miao traitor wreaked havoc in the Exquisite Refinement Sect and even killed a Dao Saint's disciple. Now that he's heavily injured and alone, I bumped into him. Tell me, once I send word of this and send someone to capture him in time, how could that not be a great deed? "
Fang Susu was silent. She was even gnashing her teeth in hatred. So the person she had been searching for all these years was actually the infamous Miao traitor in the cultivation realm. He already had a wife and a concubine, and she had even let down her parents for bringing her up. All these years, she had suffered so much just to close the gap between them.
She suddenly realized why she had bothered. So what if she joined the Exquisite Refinement Sect? He was someone who dared to wreak havoc in the Exquisite Refinement Sect right in front of Dao Saint Feng Beichen. He even dared to kill a Dao Saint's disciple. She would probably never be able to close the gap between them in this lifetime.
Jia Xian! This name flashed through Fang Susu's mind. This was the last time she met him, and he had casually given her a fake name to fool her. For some reason, a wave of hatred welled up in her heart!
When a woman couldn't get her hands on something, she would often feel resentment for no reason!
"Susu, continue to follow him. I'll be back soon!" Gan Zeguang instructed after he finished writing on the jade disk and grabbed a spirit eagle in his hand.
Fang Susu nodded in agreement. Gan Zeguang immediately carried the spirit eagle and left. He didn't dare to release the spirit eagle too close to the target, afraid that he would attract the target's attention. If he alerted the target and ran away, then he would lose all the merit …
After traveling for several days, they had already left the mountain gorge and arrived at a wide river. From time to time, fishing boats and merchant ships would come and go along the river. There were also people at the docks on both sides of the river. Once the land was wide open, Gan Zeguang and Fang Susu found it slightly troublesome to follow him. They didn't dare to get too close for fear of being discovered, so they could only follow him from afar.
Miao Yi, who was hanging on to his last breath, had also suffered greatly. His injuries had stabilized, but his arms, which had withstood the brunt of the attack, were now crippled. His bones and flesh were almost shattered from the impact, and couldn't be directly healed. He had no choice but to cut off his arms and regenerate them.
The pain brought about by rebirth was unimaginable to outsiders. This was already the second time Miao Yi had experienced something like this. Fortunately, he had enough Glorious Star immortal herbs on him now, so he could afford to use them.
Qin Weiwei and the others were heartbroken, and cried many times along the way.
When he could finally get down and walk, Miao Yi walked out of the cabin with his sleeves swinging. He went to the deck to get some fresh air, but the cold sweat on his forehead didn't stop flowing. His clothes were repeatedly drenched, and he leaned against the railing to enjoy the cool breeze. He felt much more comfortable, and asked for a recliner to lie down. He didn't want to be cooped up in the cabin any longer.
Beside him, Qin Weiwei gritted her teeth and asked, "Who hurt you to this extent?"
With a pale face, Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "It wasn't a human! I was the one who had nothing better to do, so I summoned the Hell Mantis from the Boundless Secular World. Weiwei, remember this from now on. The larger Hell Mantis in the Boundless Secular World is far stronger than you can imagine. I couldn't even block one of its attacks, and I'm sure that even the Six Sages aren't their match. Don't ever provoke them … "
Exquisite Refinement Sect. Upon receiving disciple Gan Zeguang's message, Xiang Baiting's first thought was to inform his Master, Mo Ming.
However, when he arrived at the sect's artifact refinement area, his footsteps paused. Considering Mo Ming's relationship with Yao Ruoxian, and the fact that Yao Ruoxian had a close relationship with Miao Yi … Xiang Baiting turned around and changed his path, heading towards a courtyard in the inner residence that was filled with flowers. It was the place where his Master's wife, Miao Junyi, cultivated.
Coincidentally, Miao Junyi, dressed in a long flowery dress, was playing with a rainbow-feathered sparrow that was locked in a cage under the eaves. It wasn't much trouble to request an audience.
After seeing the jade disk that Xiang Baiting handed over, Miao Junyi immediately raised her head and asked, "Your Master doesn't know about this, right?"
Xiang Baiting replied, "I was about to inform Master, but I didn't expect Master to not be here."
Miao Junyi immediately warned him, "Don't tell your Master about this for now. I'm going to see the Venerable Lord now …"
Miao Junyi immediately warned him, "Don't tell your Master about this for now. I'm going to see the Venerable Lord now …"
