Regardless of whether he was willing or not, Miao Yi didn't reject Grandmaster Qi Jie in the end. Most importantly, Grandmaster Qi Jie was the Sorcerer's friend. Even if Miao Yi didn't agree to his request, Grandmaster Qi Jie would still follow the Sorcerer over there sooner or later.
Just as Miao Yi had someone bring Grandmaster Qi Jie to settle down, Miao Yi was pacing back and forth under the shade of a tree with his hands behind his back when Yan Xiu sneakily came over and asked, "Milord, after I head to the outside world, what about Zhuge Qing in the Middle Constellations Palace?"
Miao Yi was taken aback. If Yan Xiu hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about the woman he had spent a night with. Her beauty after removing her veil was truly a sight rarely seen in this world. She was even more beautiful than Qin Xi, so one could only imagine how beautiful she was. In short, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in terms of appearance.
Now that Zhuge Qing had been placed under house arrest by Yun Zhiqiu in the Middle Constellation Palace, without Yun Zhiqiu's permission, Miao Yi wouldn't be able to release her. This matter involved the trust between husband and wife, and he couldn't allow Zhuge Qing to ruin their relationship. Actually, Yun Zhiqiu's side was still easier to deal with. At the very least, he wouldn't take Zhuge Qing's life. However, it was hard to say for the others. After all, they had already been poisoned once!
The cause of this incident was that Zhuge Qing hadn't been keeping a low profile in the Middle Constellations Palace for too long. Eventually, she found a way to get the guards to help her pass a message to Miao Yi.
Soon, someone poisoned the food given to Zhuge Qing. Fortunately, one of the demon cultivators guarding the place had been eating Zhuge Qing's food for a long time. He would steal some of the food that was given to him. As a result, the little demon who stole the food was poisoned to death first.
Because of this, Zhuge Qing was frightened and finally became obedient.
When Yun Zhiqiu received the news from the Great World, he ordered his men to investigate the matter thoroughly, but to no avail. All the relevant clues had been cut off in time.
Even though Yun Zhiqiu didn't find out anything, he did give Miao Yi an answer: Zhuge Qing doesn't have a powerful background, yet she's delusional. On top of that, she's simply too beautiful. These are the reasons why someone tried to harm her!
At the time, Miao Yi was in the Purgatory Realm.
As for Zhuge Qing, Yan Xiu usually took care of her in secret and provided her with cultivation resources. Now that Yan Xiu had been sent to the higher realms, it would be even harder for the others to protect Zhuge Qing. After all, everyone knew that Yan Xiu was Miao Yi's trusted aide.
But if he mobilized a large force just for Zhuge Qing, what would his wives and concubines think? Miao Yi thought for a moment, then sighed, "You can ask Madam to make the arrangements for this."
"Yes!" Yan Xiu answered and left.
Not long after, he returned and reported, "Madam asked me to inform you that an unrelated outsider is not someone you should worry about."
Miao Yi was speechless. He immediately knew that he had done something stupid. He had asked his wife to think of a way to protect the wildflower he had seduced. He reckoned that any woman would be furious.
After waiting for a while and seeing no response from Miao Yi, Yan Xiu tried to speak up again, "Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, and some of Milord's old friends have come to visit Milord a few times, but Milord has always been absent. Now that Milord has returned, shouldn't you inform them?" Yan Xiu knew that Miao Yi valued friendship, so he reminded him.
Miao Yi snapped out of his daze and fell silent. After experiencing so many things, he couldn't help but admit that Yun Zhiqiu's words made sense.
No matter how deep his pockets were, he couldn't support everyone. For example, subordinates like Xu Tangran usually didn't need Miao Yi to pay for them, and they would still work for him loyally. The only time Miao Yi needed to fork out his own pockets was when he would reward them for their contributions. What Miao Yi needed to do was to create corresponding positions for everyone to support themselves, so as to create a virtuous cycle that would benefit everyone. He didn't need to fork out his own pockets to support everyone like he did his wives and concubines.
For example, Fu Qing, Invincible Eagle, and the others didn't need Miao Yi to fork out his own pockets to support them.
He wanted to take care of his old friends, but in the face of reality, the gap between them was already too wide. He could only give them some guidance, and he couldn't focus his energy on them now. Those who wanted to conquer the world with him had to be people who could keep up with his footsteps. If they couldn't, they would face the fate of being surpassed by others.
Right now, the gap between their statuses was too wide. Even if they met, they would just eat and drink together. More importantly, his old friends were starting to feel like they were sitting on pins and needles. If they wanted to maintain their friendship, it would be better for them to meet less. That way, they would still maintain their friendship. Otherwise, they would end up like Fu Qing and the others — sworn brothers would become subordinates.
"Forget it. Let's talk about it when we have the chance in the future." Miao Yi waved his hand helplessly …
"Big Sis! Brother-in-law!"
Yun Ruoshuang lifted her skirt and ran into the palace excitedly. She ran over to Yun Zhiqiu's side and giggled for a while, then stuck her head in front of Miao Yi. Her eyes curved into crescent moons, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks. She grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, do you mean what you said?"
The group was already preparing to depart for the higher realms, and they were telling them what to look out for when they got there. They didn't expect Luo Shuangfei to appear at this time.
As soon as Miao Yi saw her, he remembered a certain hairy guy with a mole. That guy was pretty unreliable. He also remembered what she meant by that, so he turned around and walked away. "I didn't promise you anything. Go ask your sister."
Yun Ruoshuang immediately hugged Yun Zhiqiu's arm. "Sister! You won't go back on your word, will you? "
Yun Zhiqiu was put in a difficult position. If it were in the past, she would naturally keep her word. However, after what happened to Miao Yi in Hell, she couldn't just agree to it. The Yun family was in the wrong, and she was afraid of upsetting Miao Yi.
As such, Miao Yi suddenly chopped down on the back of Yun Ruoshuang's neck. Yun Ruoshuang's face was instantly filled with shock and anger, as though she was saying, 'You guys went back on your word …' Her eyes rolled back as she collapsed.
Yun Zhiqiu helped her up, then instructed, "Inform the Great Devil Realm to send someone to bring her back."
They hadn't arrived at Heaven's Origin Planet yet. Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu landed on a barren planet that they could see in the distance.
Miao Yi summoned Grandmaster Qi Jie from his beast sack, then pointed at Heaven's Origin Planet and said, "Grandmaster, my territory is right in front of you. Are you sure you don't want to go take a look?"
Grandmaster Qi Jie pressed his palms together and said, "I've heard about the situation here. You rarely interact with Buddhists here, so I'm afraid you'll bring trouble to the Venerable Sage. I'll go look for Ba Jie myself."
Beside him, Yun Zhiqiu asked, "Grandmaster, how are you going to look for him? If you wander around aimlessly, it'll be harder than searching for a needle in a haystack. "
"Amitabha!" Grandmaster Qi Jie said, "The Jie School is a single lineage. In order to cultivate their arts, the senior must extract a strand of his or her art source as a seed and plant it in the disciple's body. This seed will then slowly germinate, grow, and eventually blossom and bear fruit. Unlike other arts, which require the disciple to cultivate the first strand of art source. Because of this, I'll naturally be able to sense Ba Jie's presence as soon as I get close to him. However, I don't have the means to travel through the Star Gate. I'm afraid I'll need your help. "
"I see!" The couple finally understood. Without another word, Miao Yi took out a storage bangle and offered it to Grandmaster Qi Jie with both hands. "The universe is vast. Even with Grandmaster's Transcendence Prowess, I'm afraid you'll still have to wear out your iron shoes. We'll have to trouble Grandmaster for that bastard's sake. Inside the bangle is a star chart that can help you navigate to and from the higher realms. If Grandmaster finds Ba Jie, please inform me immediately. "
Grandmaster Qi Jie accepted the bangle, clasped his hands together, and thanked the couple. Without another word, he flew into the depths of the universe to look for his single disciple.
After waiting for a while, Miao Yi took out the Star Bell and contacted the Celestial Avenue. Yun Zhiqiu also summoned Xiong Wei and the others from the beast sack.
Not long after, Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle quickly flew over with a few others in tow.
"Big Brother!"
"Fourth Brother!"
As soon as they landed, they immediately patted Xiong Wei and Hong Tian's chests and shoulders. They were all excited to see their old friends again.
This time, almost all of the Subjugation Crusade Masters, Yao Kings, and the like were here. The Yao Generals and the like had also carefully selected over a hundred reliable people.
Miao Yi didn't want to worry about secrecy. If the four Subjugation Crusade Masters didn't want their foundations in the higher realms to be destroyed, they would naturally do their best to keep a tight rein on them. At this point, Miao Yi had so many subordinates under him that he couldn't keep a tight rein on everyone by himself. He could only delegate his authority to his subordinates.
After catching up for a while, Yang Qing, Yan Xiu, and Yang Zhaoqing were immediately split into several groups. Lie Huan and the other Yao Kings led them into the depths of the universe.
They were going to look for Fan Yufei, Luo Qingzi, Man Shan, Lv Dakai, Jiang Zhongshen, and Kou Wenlan.
If they wanted to join the Heavenly Court, not only would they have to fabricate a reliable background, they would also need three Great Commanders to jointly recommend them. If anything went wrong, they would be implicated. And Miao Yi alone couldn't get so many people to join the Heavenly Court. Back then, Fu Qing and the others were only able to join the Heavenly Court because of Kou Wenlan. With Kou Wenlan's connections, it wouldn't be a problem for him to find someone to recommend them. But now that so many Yao Kings had arrived, it would be hard to avoid suspicion if they went to look for Kou Wenlan all at once.
Miao Yi had already contacted Kou Wenlan, Fan Yufei, and the others beforehand. Kou Wenlan was an old friend, while Fan Yufei and the others owed him a favor, so they all agreed to help him. Everyone knew that Miao Yi had offended too many people, so it would be difficult for him to find someone else to help him.
As for Xiahou Longcheng's side, after Miao Yi had officially explained the situation to Yang Qing back in the miniature world, Yang Qing suggested that they not let Xiahou Longcheng recommend them. After everyone had obtained their Heavenly Court status, they would then send a portion of Xiahou Longcheng's subordinates over. This way, they wouldn't be able to gather everyone together. Otherwise, if there were too many Yao cultivators on Heaven's Origin Planet, it would attract suspicion sooner or later.
What Yang Qing meant was that everyone should first obtain their Heavenly Court status and stay under Kou Wenlan, Fan Yufei, and the others for the time being. It wasn't important whether they had a position or not. The most important thing was to not let the people here know that they were Miao Yi's people. Moreover, Miao Yi had offended too many nobles in the Heavenly Court. Presumably, Fan Yufei and the others wouldn't spread the word that they were helping Niu Youde.
Those who wanted to return to Heaven's Origin Planet would go to Kou Wenlan's side and go to Fan Yufei's side. As for the rest, they would use Xiahou Longcheng's relatively strong background and bastard personality to get Xiahou Longcheng to send people over to the various Heavenly Streets of Dong Hua Headquarters. With Xiahou Longcheng's reputation, it shouldn't be a problem for him to help someone get a position as a Deputy General in the various Heavenly Streets of Dong Hua Headquarters. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many positions on Heaven's Origin Planet.
First, they would set up positions in the various Heavenly Streets to grasp the internal movements of each Heavenly Street. It was very important to grasp information.
