As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked.
Tian Fenghao said in disbelief, "How could Niu Youde be so bold? Does he know the consequences of killing Young Master Zha?"
Zhou Ran said, "That madman cannot be judged by common sense. Is the thousands of heads that were chopped off outside the Dongcheng District Commander's Office not proof? Besides, he was forced into a corner. What else would he not do? "
Tian Fenghao did not have time to ask anything else. Huangfujun? Y hurriedly said, "Leader Zhou, you said that Niu Youde single-handedly defeated 50,000 soldiers?"
Tian Fenghao said, "Yes! How is that possible? "
Everyone was also in disbelief.
"How is that possible? There is something even more impossible. " Zhou Ran sighed and said, "Defeating 50,000 soldiers is nothing. There is more to come. Su Li, whom we treated as a joke. Guess what happened to him? In order to clean up the mess, Niu Youde single-handedly charged into the million-strong army and took his life as easily as taking something out of his pocket. He killed Su Li, and the other nine commanders of Donghua Headquarter fled in fear. "
Everyone looked at each other. Tian Fenghao said, "How could Niu Youde be so arrogant? Did no one from the million-strong army come out to take care of him?"
Zhou Ran said, "There are people who want to take care of him, but no one can. He single-handedly killed his way in and out of the million-strong army. No one was able to stop him. He challenged a million-strong army and asked who dared to fight him. In the first battle of the last assessment, Ruyi refused to accept Niu Youde's challenge. In the end, he was no match for Niu Youde. He was beaten to the brink of death by Niu Youde in just one move. If it were not for someone snatching it away, Zhan Ruyi would not have survived. Niu Youde left a sarcastic comment and left with a laugh. How brave of him! "
Hearing what Zhou Ran said, everyone knew that Zhou Ran would not use such words to mock them. They all took a deep breath. Over the years, people had mocked Niu Youde on Sky Street, and Niu Youde had kept a low profile. Everyone had forgotten about Niu Youde's bravery when he was crowned number one. Even if they knew about Niu Youde's bravery, they did not expect him to be so strong that he could single-handedly kill millions of soldiers. If what he said was true, then Niu Youde's bravery was unparalleled.
Spiritual Master Yu Xu who was present was inexplicably shocked. His face was filled with disbelief as he recalled how his Senior Brother Sect Leader wanted to take Niu Youde as his disciple back then. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
Huang Fujun, who had become silent? Y's heart was inexplicably surprised. Which woman did not want their man to be a peerless hero?
Even though she didn't dare to make her relationship with Miao Yi public due to her background, she had long regarded herself as Miao Yi's woman, and Miao Yi as her man. From what she knew, she and Miao Yi were each other's one and only. Deep down, she cherished this secret relationship. Even though Miao Yi had always been distant from her, and even lied to her like it was child's play, the thrill made her feel as if she was on the brink of death. Her long journey of cultivation was no longer dull. She looked forward to the day when the conditions were right for her and Miao Yi to consummate their relationship.
After Miao Yi lied to her, he secretly went to participate in the Hell Trial. No one else could understand her feelings. She was conflicted, anxious, and full of hatred. Now that she knew Miao Yi had successfully passed the most dangerous stage of the trial, the joy in her heart was indescribable. All the worries that had accumulated in her heart were swept away.
To her, Miao Yi was always able to give her a different kind of thrill.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Ran suddenly sighed and said, "Niu Youde has already intimidated the million-strong army. When the army gathers, no one dares to fight him. I don't think anyone will dare to cause him trouble later on. I'm afraid everyone should be prepared for him to come back alive."
Shopkeeper Hu Yuyuan laughed and said, "I was wondering what Chief Zhou was worried about. So that's what you're worried about."
Zhou Ran said, "How can I not be worried? We secretly disobeyed him and set up the Chamber of Commerce's rules behind his back. I'm afraid he will come back to settle the score with us."
Hu Yuyuan shook his head and said, "That's not true. The Hell Trial has only just begun. Unless he puts on a brave front and gets a good ranking, he won't be able to keep his position as Heaven's Avenue's Great Commander. But is Hell a place to put on a brave front? Even though I don't know how he managed to instill fear in the million-strong army, Hell is not a place to put on a brave front. The more he tries to put on a brave front, the faster he will die. That's why I hope he puts on a brave front. On the other hand, if he hides in Hell to save his own life, how can he keep his position as Heaven's Avenue's Great Commander if he can't get a good result? As long as he can't keep his position and power, even if he comes back alive, he will still be dead. There's no need to fear him. Besides, the Hundred Year Trial has only just begun. There's still a long way to go. Why should we scare ourselves? "
"That's right!"
"That's right!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. For a moment, everyone's mood relaxed. As for Huangfu Jun? Y and Spiritual Master Yu Xu's mood sank, especially Huangfu Jun. If it were not for the limitations of her background, she would have killed every single one of those bastards.
"That being said, everyone should still try to get in touch with your own people in the Hell Trial. Try to keep an eye on that bastard's movements. If he really does come back alive, we'll be able to be prepared," Zhou Ran reminded everyone.
Everyone agreed. After the discussion, there was nothing else to do. After everyone dispersed, they quickly went back to find out what Zhou Ran was talking about. They wanted to know how a million-strong army could not stop Niu Youde. They were not worried that Zhou Ran was lying to them, but that it was too unbelievable …
It did not take long. There were too many people participating in the Hell Trial. With Xing Ling's convenient long-distance communication, some of them were able to get some information. A day later, the news of the Hell Trial gradually spread throughout Heaven Street, like a stone that caused a thousand ripples.
"… His Excellency killed Cha Renjun with a single spear, then defeated fifty thousand men on his own … After killing Dong Yinggao, His Excellency single-handedly killed his way through the million-strong army, then turned around and killed Su Li … In the first battle of the previous Celestial Emperor's Imperial Conferment Trial, Ruyi took the lead and was severely injured by His Excellency. The charge of over a hundred thousand men was also defeated … His Excellency was so brave that he single-handedly killed his way through the million-strong army three times, killing thousands of men on his own. He left with the words, 'You scoundrels, I'm ashamed to be associated with you' …"
Inside the Cloud Beauty Restaurant, the carpenter and stonemason had just returned from their investigation. They excitedly recounted the events that transpired at the entrance of the Hell Trial. The two of them were truly shocked by Miao Yi's bravery. They were so overjoyed that they could hardly contain their joy. Anyone would be more confident in their future if they followed someone like Miao Yi.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were listening to the story from the side, were in high spirits. To the two ladies, Miao Yi had never disappointed them ever since they started serving Miao Yi. In their eyes, there was nothing that could stump Miao Yi. However, the scene of Miao Yi single-handedly charging through the million-strong army still fascinated the two of them. Their eyes were filled with excitement, and they could hardly contain their excitement.
On the other hand, the mistress of the pavilion, Yun Zhiqiu, appeared to be quite calm. After listening to the story, she simply smiled and said, "I understand. Continue to ask around. If there's any news about His Excellency, report to me immediately."
"Understood!" The carpenter and stonemason excused themselves.
Inside the pavilion, Yun Zhiqiu, dressed in a sky-blue dress, stared blankly at the rippling water outside the pavilion for a long time. Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at each other, speechless. They didn't know why their mistress didn't seem happy at all when she heard the good news. Wasn't His Excellency's victory something to be happy about?
Not long after, the Starbell in Yun Zhiqiu's storage bracelet vibrated. She took it out and found out that Ji Meili and the other concubines had arrived via the underground tunnel, requesting for Yun Zhiqiu to open the Cloud Beauty Restaurant's defensive formation and let them in.
Yun Zhiqiu didn't even need to ask to know that they were here because of Miao Yi. The news had already spread throughout the Celestial Avenue, so there was no way these women wouldn't have heard about it.
Opening the defensive formation.??? Paper scythe, thin and thin? Rolling Roll? High Head? Snatching Blow Sword? Eternal Perseverance? Flying Joy? Scar Amine Fly?
"Mm!" Yun Zhiqiu stood up and said, "This isn't a place for us to gather and talk. Let's go to the Blessed Paradise."
She then led the group to the room upstairs. Before they entered the room, Yun Zhiqiu turned around and pouted to the room next door. "Xue'Er, call Hongchen along as well."
"Understood!" Xue'Er acknowledged the order and left.
Soon, they arrived at a pavilion that had been rebuilt after Charcoal destroyed it last time. Before Yun Zhiqiu took her seat at the main seat, she gestured for everyone to sit down and talk. Other than her, who was seated on the main seat, Ji Meili and the others were seated on the long chairs on either side of the railings.
After Qian'Er and Xue'Er served tea to Madams Ru and the others, Yun Zhiqiu asked, "Sisters, why have you all come here together?"
The girls looked at each other and signaled each other with their eyes. One signaled the other to speak, and the other signaled the other to speak.
Seeing their hesitation, Yun Zhiqiu stared at Qin Weiwei and asked, "Weiwei, are Hong Mian and Lu Liu's injuries alright?"
Qin Weiwei looked awkwardly at the expressionless Qian'Er and Xue'Er standing behind Yun Zhiqiu. She replied, "They're fine now. It was my fault for not teaching them well. I will definitely discipline them more strictly later."
The reason for this conversation was because Hong Mian and Lu Liu had taken advantage of the fact that they had become Miao Yi's women. Not only did they treat Fa Yin with disdain, but when they saw that Fa Yin didn't know much about worldly affairs, they even hinted that she was having an affair. At first, Yun Zhiqiu was only shocked by Fa Yin's infidelity. Then, she wondered where she had heard such nonsense from. It didn't make sense that someone would casually mention such a thing in front of a woman. She then ordered the employee she had planted in Qin Weiwei's shop to investigate in secret. If she hadn't investigated, she wouldn't have known. Once she did, she discovered that it was actually Hong Mian and Lu Liu who were behind this.
Yun Zhiqiu was furious. How could she tolerate such a dirty thing happening in the inner residence? If she left it alone, someone might suspect that she, the mistress of the house, was harboring some dirty thoughts. She originally wanted to deal with Hong Mian and Lu Liu right away, and even question Qin Weiwei. However, after considering many factors, she decided not to do anything herself.
Hence, Qian'Er and Xue'Er stepped forward to investigate. With their presence, even Qin Weiwei didn't dare to act presumptuously. To put it bluntly, even Yun Zhiqiu wouldn't dare to touch Qian'Er and Xue'Er without reason, much less Qin Weiwei. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to answer to Miao Yi.
