After painstakingly leading his men to Mount Calming Sea, Miao Yi was once again ignored by Qin Weiwei.
Miao Yi was already used to this, but this was good. There was nothing for him to do, and he had more personal space to do his own things.
Leading his men and galloping out of Mount Calming Sea, Miao Yi turned to look at Zheng Jinlong. The latter understood, and rode his dragon steed alongside the Cave Master.
"Are there any movements from Xiong Xiao's side?" Miao Yi transmitted his voice over.
He had already ordered Zheng Jinlong to get in touch with the School of Blue Jade, and pay attention to the movements of Xiong Xiao and his subordinates.
The School of Blue Jade's disciples were spread throughout every abode of Cave in South Edict Manor. The School of Blue Jade would be able to grasp the movements of Xiong Xiao and his subordinates.
This time, he brought Zheng Jinlong to Mount Calming Sea so that he could communicate with the person in charge of Mount Calming Sea.
Zheng Jinlong knew that he was worried that Xiong Xiao would secretly make a move, and replied, "Cave Master, don't worry. I have already asked for the assistance of the school. We can monitor the movements of anyone in Mount Shaotai. If anyone's whereabouts are unknown, someone will alert us. So far, Xiong Xiao hasn't made any unusual movements."
These words were a little too much for him. He still didn't have the qualifications to ask for the assistance of the entire School of Blue Jade. He was only willing to go along with the flow because the School of Blue Jade wanted to use Miao Yi.
"Very well." Miao Yi was relieved. At first, he was a little worried that Zheng Jinlong's reputation wouldn't be enough to convince the School of Blue Jade to help. Now that he had the School of Blue Jade's help, as long as he could grasp the movements of Xiong Xiao and his subordinates, he didn't have to worry about Xiong Xiao causing any trouble. Otherwise, he would be on tenterhooks whenever he went to Mount Calming Sea.
The group quickly returned to East Arrival Cave. Miao Yi quickly returned to his silent quarters for cultivation. After making some preparations, he called for Xue'Er and said, "Invite Yan Xiu over."
"Yes!" Xue'Er answered and left.
Not long after, Yan Xiu quickly came over and cupped his fists, "Cave Master, what are your orders?"
Miao Yi waved his hand, dismissing Qian'Er and Xue'Er from the silent quarters, then beckoned Yan Xiu to come closer. He stared at Yan Xiu with a calm gaze, and said decisively, "I am preparing to lead the troops of East Arrival Cave to the Sea of Constellations to hunt. What do you think?"
"Ah …." Yan Xiu cried out involuntarily, a bitter smile on his face. He had long since guessed that the Cave Master had such an intention, but the Cave Master had always refused to admit it. Yan Xiu had no choice but to earnestly persuade him, "Cave Master, the Sea of Constellations is an extremely dangerous place. Every time the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade takes place, who knows how many people will die. With the strength of our East Arrival Cave, I'm afraid we will not be able to return. Please reconsider, Cave Master."
To put it bluntly, our cultivation levels are too low. Going there would be courting death.
"I've already made up my mind. You don't have to persuade me anymore." Miao Yi waved his hand, his attitude resolute as he said, "The reason why I'm telling you in advance is because I trust you, and I have no intention of bringing you to the Sea of Constellations to risk your life. When I'm not around, I want to entrust East Arrival Cave to you."
"..." Yan Xiu didn't know if he should be grateful for his trust or what to do. He just couldn't figure it out. "Cave Master, there's something I don't know if I should ask."
Miao Yi nodded and said, "Speak your mind!"
Yan Xiu said, "Cave Master, even though your position as a Cave Master is low, it's still a starting point that most of the cultivators in the world would envy. In addition to that, you have Manor Head Yang Qing's trust. You only need to continue cultivating in peace. After one or two hundred years, when your cultivation has improved, the position of Mountain Chieftain will be yours. Why don't you be patient and slowly climb your way up? Your future is promising. Why must you risk your life like this? I don't think you have the ambition to compete with the heroes of the realm. Even if you do have this ambition, to put it bluntly, there have been many outstanding geniuses appearing among the cultivators of the realm, but in the end, those who can dominate a region are few and far between. It's better to advance steadily and step by step. "
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with ambition. Do you still remember when we were in Transient Light Cave, I told you about my younger brother and sister?"
Yan Xiu nodded, "I remember!"
"I still remember Luo Zhen's warning. Before your cultivation reaches a certain realm and you have the ability to protect yourself, it's best not to mention your younger brother and sister's matters to outsiders. Once something happens, it'll be easy for others to use it against you, and it'll become a weakness for your siblings to be threatened by others." Miao Yi pursed his lips, "I've always remembered these words. But I really want to find them and bring them to East Arrival Cave. It's just that my own situation isn't any better. It's difficult for me to even protect myself. Even if I find them now, I won't be able to take care of them. I can only continue to endure."
At the mention of Luo Zhen, Yan Xiu fell into a gloomy silence. He didn't say anything else and only nodded slightly, "I understand. I wonder when Cave Master plans to return? If the higher-ups discover something and ask where you went, how should I answer?"
"The date of my return is uncertain, but I hope to return alive. If the higher-ups discover that I'm not around, feel free to say that I went to the Sea of Constellations to hunt. As long as I can return alive, with Yang Qing backing me up, Qin Weiwei won't be able to do anything to me. "
Yan Xiu didn't know what to say to him. As long as this Cave Master wanted to do something, he would never hesitate to risk his life.
"Cave Master, have you thought about it? Once Zheng Jinlong and the rest find out that you're bringing them to the Sea of Constellations to hunt, they may not follow you. When that time comes, you may not be able to suppress them alone."
"Is that so?" Miao Yi raised his hand and invoked his arts, wiping away the Soul Concealing Paste between his brows. A vivid illusion of a three-petaled white lotus appeared between his brows. He coldly snorted, "Those who disobey will be killed! Now, even if they join forces, they may not be a match for me. I can kill Fan Renfang and Fang Ziyu. Do you think I can't kill them? If they have the guts, why don't they give it a try? I will definitely let them know how sharp the spear in my hand is! Those in East Arrival Cave who don't obey my orders are my enemies. I have never been merciful to my enemies! "
He had long wanted to go to the Sea of Constellations to hunt. However, he knew that his transcendence energy back then was miniscule, and it was difficult to convince the masses, so he had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
Now that his cultivation had broken through to White Lotus Third Grade, he didn't need any help. With just the spear in his hand, he was confident that he could convince the entire East Arrival Cave's subordinates!
Yan Xiu stared dumbfoundedly at the illusion of the lotus between his brows. It could be said that he was quite shocked!
How many years had it been? Yan Xiu really didn't think that Miao Yi's cultivation had already broken through to White Lotus Third Grade!
According to common sense, the higher the cultivation, the faster the Orb of Will would be refined. A normal White Lotus First Grade cultivator would need at least a year's time to refine a low-grade Orb of Will. However, the Cave Master's refining speed was clearly faster than normal.
This required the help of a good cultivation technique. The biggest difference between a good and bad cultivation technique was the speed at which the Orb of Will was refined. The new talents that emerged time and again in the cultivation world were all like this. He didn't know what grade the Cave Master's cultivation technique was.
