In the depths of Purgatory, Jin Man, who was flying away in a hurry, suddenly stopped and said, "It's about time."
Shi Yunbian, Ao Tie, and Gongsun Lidao also stopped and looked around cautiously. Jin Man quickly formed a seal with her ten fingers and placed it between her brows. Suddenly, she pointed to the void and shouted, "Withdraw!"
On a desolate planet far away from the exit of Purgatory, Miao Yi put away the Starbell in his hand after receiving the news. He opened his transcendence vision and looked around. Occasionally, he would take out a star chart and compare it. Occasionally, he would raise his head to look in the direction of the exit of Purgatory. In front of him, a quiver with simple patterns was half-inserted into the ground.
Suddenly, the surface of the quiver glowed with brilliant colors. Miao Yi was taken aback. He seemed to have realized something and raised his head to look in the direction of the exit of Purgatory.
As expected, Miao Yi could vaguely see something in the distance. Before he could get a clear look, a black silhouette suddenly streaked across the sky with a whoosh. Suddenly, the black silhouette in the distance quickly turned around and circled around the celestial body beneath Miao Yi's feet in a large arc. Then, it quickly circled around the celestial body beneath Miao Yi's feet. Then, it circled around again and again, from high altitude to low altitude.
Only then did Miao Yi get a clear look at the true appearance of the object. It was a sinister-looking black arrow about ten feet long. After the spiderweb-like patterns that tore through the void around the body of the arrow gradually disappeared, the arrow once again turned to the sky and suddenly stood erect. Then, like rain, it began to break down into even smaller black arrows.
Whoosh! One after another, the arrows accurately fell into the quiver below. They were as fast as shadows.
A strong gust of wind blew down from the sky, stirring up large ripples of dust. Miao Yi invoked his arts to withstand it and covered his face with his sleeves.
After the sound of the rapid fall stopped, Miao Yi swept away the dust with his sleeves and looked up to the sky. He saw a storage ring falling from the sky due to inertia.
Miao Yi made a grabbing motion with his five fingers, and the storage ring flew over to him, immediately falling into his palm. He quickly invoked his arts to take a look, and found that the storage ring was completely empty. There was only a beautiful woman in a light yellow dress lying quietly inside, her chest rising and falling as she breathed.
It was obvious that a large amount of air had been injected into the storage ring in advance to maintain the woman's normal needs.
Miao Yi didn't dare to delay any longer. He was afraid that the air inside would soon run out and endanger the woman's life. Jin Man had already reminded him again and again that no matter what kind of grudge he had with Madam Biyue, this woman was still the daughter of Haiabyssal Ke. Haiabyssal Ke had made a huge sacrifice, so she asked him to ensure her safety.
Even if she didn't say it, Miao Yi still didn't dare to treat her lightly. For his matter, to send this woman out, they had mobilized five Divine Manifestation realm experts at once. To him, this was a little unimaginable. This was the first time in his life that he had played such a big game.
He quickly took out a storage bracelet. In order to receive this woman, he had stored a moderate concentration of air in the storage bracelet. After summoning the unconscious woman, he quickly sent her into the storage bracelet.
When he turned around and swept the dust away, he saw that the quiver had already sunk deep into the ground. Miao Yi went forward and invoked his arts to lift the quiver, along with the full quiver of arrows. He quickly put it away. He still had to return this thing to Jin Man later.
He flew into the air and invoked his arts to sweep the previous location. After erasing all traces, he quickly summoned Charcoal and urged him to quickly flee into the starry sky. He didn't dare to stay a moment longer. He had to get as far away as possible. He still didn't dare to take the shortcut to the Stargate at the exit of Purgatory. He was afraid that he would be blocked. If he wanted to take the nearest Stargate, he would have to take a long detour before he could return.
While on Charcoal's body, he constantly observed his surroundings. At the same time, he took out the Star Bell and contacted Jin Man, "General Lord, she has been safely received."
Jin Man, "Divine Lord, please ensure the child's safety. If you encounter any trouble, please inform me immediately. I will be able to contact people for assistance."
Miao Yi, "Don't worry. Unless I can't even protect myself, I won't let anything happen to her."
On the other side of Purgatory, Jin Man breathed a sigh of relief as she hovered in the void. She said to the three beside her, "She is safely in the hands of the Divine Lord."
The three of them heaved a sigh of relief as well. Ao Tie sighed, "It's fortunate that nothing happened. Otherwise, who knows what Haiyuan Ke would think. General, please let Haiyuan Ke be at ease."
Jin Man nodded. She took out the Star Bell and contacted Haiyuan Ke.
As Haiyuan Ke flew alone through the starry sky, he finally relaxed when he received news that his daughter was safe. He also took out the Star Bell and contacted Madam Biyue, "Biyue, Xin 'er has been sent out. Once everything is settled, I will have someone send her to you. Take good care of her. I have already told her not to reveal her relationship with you."
As expected, Madam Biyue had mixed feelings. Even though Haiyuan Ke had said so, she didn't think he could really send her daughter out. Never in her wildest dreams did she think he would use such a risky method to send her daughter out. She could only watch helplessly as the dangerous scene unfolded before her eyes. Breaking through the Archery Array alone was too valiant. No wonder they were a group of people who could compete with Lord Qing.
However, there was one thing she knew very well. She couldn't avoid Marquis Tianyuan when she returned. If her daughter found out that she was with a man other than her father, she wouldn't know how to face her daughter. How could she endure it?
Similarly, Haiyuan Ke had taken such a huge risk to send his daughter out. If she didn't take good care of her daughter, she couldn't imagine how angry Haiyuan Ke would be. If one of the three handmaidens were to fall into the hands of the Celestial Court, her life would be over!
The safe zone was being reorganized. A group of almighty cultivators had set up a new array on another planet. They had resumed the Six Star Array to seal the exit of the Stargate.
The sudden and short battle didn't affect the end of the assessment.
Madam Biyue, who had been silently floating in the air for a long time, gritted her teeth and flew to the gathering point where the assessment ended.
The number of people taking the assessment this time was ten times less than the previous assessment. Correspondingly, the assessment workload was also greatly reduced. However, there were more people who came back alive this time. Nearly half of the people who participated in the assessment came back alive.
Three months later, Madam Biyue saw her assessment results. She was a little speechless. It was the same as Miao Yi, ninth place!
However, her luck was clearly better than Miao Yi's. At least she didn't have to suffer any punishment. Instead, she was rewarded and her grade rose by one level.
Most of the eight hundred positions in the Sky Street's main town were in the hands of those without any background. Seven hundred positions had nothing to do with the nobles in the Celestial Court. Only a hundred or so positions were still controlled by the nobles. This was something that couldn't be helped. No one could completely prevent the nobles from getting involved.
Although many of the positions of Sky Street's commanders were still controlled by the nobles in the Celestial Court, there were people with no background controlling them. The nobles' control over Sky Street was naturally greatly reduced.
The sealed exit of Purgatory opened again. Madam Biyue saw Marquis Tianyuan as soon as she came out. Marquis Tianyuan personally came to greet her with a smile.
The above was what Marquis Tianyuan said on the way back to the Celestial Court.
In the starry sky, the couple held hands as they flew. Madam Biyue said, "So, the Celestial Court's goal has been achieved."
Marquis Tianyuan sneered, "I'm afraid not. The Celestial Court has been around for a long time. It's like a big dye vat. Those who jump into it won't be able to stay out of it. Even if the Celestial Emperor wants to change, it's not something that can be done by humans. Just wait and see. Once those with no background take the position of Sky Street's main town, there will naturally be people trying to rope them in. How many of them can resist the pressure and not choose a side? You may not know this, but your superior has already taken the initiative to resign before the end of the assessment. Not only your superior, but almost all of the Sky Street's domain chiefs have resigned. Everyone has a premonition that the next assessment for domain chiefs is coming. Rather than waiting until it is too late to avoid it, it is better to leave early. The entire Sky Street's commanders are almost all empty. It's like a joke that no one wants to take such a lucrative position. I don't think His Majesty will be happy. "
Madam Biyue was shocked, "Isn't this the same as slapping His Majesty in the face?"
Marquis Tianyuan said, "What do you think? It's those big shots who are giving him a hard time in the dark. Now that it's on their heads, how can they not fight back? Are they going to watch helplessly as they are weakened? In this world, there are only those who find ways to become officials. There is no reason to force people to become officials. If His Majesty wants to keep them, there will be people who will negotiate with them. Then, His Majesty will lose the battle. His Majesty can't afford to lose face, so he can only bear it. "
Madam Biyue said, "Aren't they afraid that His Majesty will settle the score?"
Marquis Tianyuan sneered, "Settle the score? How? The people who are pulled out from the interest groups are all from the top to the bottom. If the people who support the top fall, the people below will naturally worry that they will fall as well. This is related to the interests of too many people. If His Majesty dares to go too far, once those big bosses unite and rebel, their strength will not be weaker than His Majesty's. Eighty percent of the people in the world will turn against him. Do you believe that they can surround the Celestial Palace overnight and oust His Majesty? What kind of Celestial Emperor is Celestial Emperor without the support of the majority? No matter how high a person's cultivation is, without the help of the people below, can he control the world? If His Majesty and Lord Buddha didn't rely on each other, would he dare to do this? "
Madam Biyue said, "Will His Majesty slowly clean up and gradually replace the important positions with his trusted people?"
Marquis Tianyuan laughed and said, "Those who followed His Majesty to conquer the world in the early years are all his trusted people. So what if he changes a group of trusted people? It's like changing the soup but not changing the medicine. No matter what kind of soup it is, it will change after a long time. His Majesty's cleaning up is just a waste of time. Even if he cleans them up this time, they will go back to the old way. It is not easy to govern such a big world. He wants to control the world forever, and the people below him also want to control the power forever. "
"Ah! Right, that Ying Xinglie died in the hands of the traitors. "
"I have already received the news. It has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we have done everything. The people above can only accept our favor and not blame us."
With Marquis Tianyuan's help, they returned very quickly. The couple talked all the way back to the Marquis Mansion.
After being trapped in the Inferno Hell for so long, Madam Biyue naturally wouldn't rush back to the Donghua Headquarter Mansion.
However, just as she walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Madam Biyue was stopped by Marquis Tianyuan. Marquis Tianyuan carried her into the room and pressed her down on the bed.
Madam Biyue thought of the man in the Inferno Hell and subconsciously resisted Marquis Tianyuan.
Marquis Tianyuan looked at her with a smile. "Madam, you have been alone for a long time. I will try my best to make it up to you."
Madam Biyue bit her lips and finally let go of her arms. She tilted her head to the side, and a trace of unbearable pain and helplessness flashed in her eyes.
