Miao Yi was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yan Beihong answered with action. He immediately summoned two people from his beast sack and placed them on the stone couch. Who else could it be other than Hong Xiu and Hong Fu?
However, both of them were unconscious and bound tightly by chains forged from amethyst. Their faces and exposed skin were covered in a myriad of colors. Miao Yi stepped forward to take a look and was speechless. He understood that these two handmaidens of Yan Beihong's were suffering from the backlash of their seven emotions and six sensory pleasures because of the cultivation art they were cultivating. They had come here to ask for his help to neutralize it.
"I don't think I need to explain further. Do you understand now, Little Brother?" Yan Beihong asked.
Miao Yi nodded slightly, but couldn't help but furrow his brows. "Big Brother Yan, forgive me for being blunt, but the higher realms are not like the lesser realms. The cultivation speed of Basic Immortal Pills is quite fast. Why should they suffer because of that demonic art? Little Brother is still here. If something happens to Little Brother and I can't help you, wouldn't that be asking for trouble? "
Yan Beihong waved his hand and said, "Ever since we arrived in the higher realms, I've never allowed them to devour anyone else's cultivation. I've always had them use Basic Immortal Pills. Now that they've broken through to the Sky Realm, it's acting up again. I'm afraid it's because they devoured quite a lot of cultivation in the lesser realms."
"Oh!" Miao Yi understood. He then asked, "What about you?"
Yan Beihong was silent for a moment, then answered honestly, "Even though Basic Immortal Pills can raise one's cultivation quickly, it's still a little slow compared to the devouring speed of my demonic art. There are many experts in the higher realms. If I don't quickly raise my cultivation, how will the three of us protect ourselves? How will we be able to obtain enough Basic Immortal Pills for the two of them? "
Miao Yi tilted his head to the side, closed his eyes and sighed. He then turned back and said, "Since you know that you shouldn't let them touch that demonic art, why do you still want to harm yourself? I don't mind paying for your expenses. Even if you don't want the items, I can still arrange a place for you in the Celestial Avenue. I can guarantee that you'll be self-sufficient. Why do you need to touch that demonic art that's only getting worse? "
Yan Beihong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Brother, our friendship is pretty good right now. If I were to keep asking for help from you or become your subordinate, our friendship would change sooner or later. Besides, I've already said that if I were to stay by your side, I would drag you down sooner or later. It's better for us to maintain some distance. If there's any trouble, we can communicate and lend each other a hand."
Seeing that he couldn't dissuade her, Miao Yi smiled bitterly and asked, "Then how's your cultivation now?"
Yan Beihong raised his hand and wiped off the Soul Concealing Paste between his brows, revealing his Golden Lotus Ninth Grade avatar.
Miao Yi was speechless. When Yan Beihong first came to the outside world, his cultivation was only at the First Grade of Golden Lotus. Not only did he surpass Miao Yi in just a few hundred years, but he had also reached the Ninth Grade of Golden Lotus. It wouldn't be long before he broke through to the Colored Lotus realm. Miao Yi had once again experienced the monstrous might of that devil art.
Yan Beihong said, "I know what you're worried about, Little Brother. I'm still a long way from the Infinite Transcendence Energy realm. I'll be fine for the time being. First, help me save the two of them. I've been suppressing them with my arts all this time, preventing the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures from growing too quickly in their bodies. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for too long."
Miao Yi sighed and said, "Allow me to settle things outside first, then I'll come back and make my move."
Yan Beihong nodded, and Miao Yi turned around and left.
The conversation between the two of them was frank and straightforward. They spoke their mind, and there was no scheming or scheming involved.
After settling things outside, Miao Yi temporarily went into closed-door cultivation. First, he started with Hong Xiu.
He didn't go into closed-door cultivation for too long, only a few months. It wasn't as troublesome as Yan Beihong's last time. The main reason was that the two girls hadn't absorbed too much of the cultivation of others after breaking through to the Golden Lotus realm this time, so the backlash wasn't too severe. Moreover, Yan Beihong was helping to suppress it. More importantly, Miao Yi's cultivation was much higher than the two girls'. Now that he had the help of the Heart Flame, it was even easier for him to cleanse them.
After dealing with the two girls, Yan Beihong didn't stay any longer. He brought his men and left. Miao Yi asked him where he was going, but he didn't tell him. He came suddenly, and when he left, he didn't leave behind any worries …
In the blink of an eye, another thousand years had passed.
Outside the headquarters of Donghua County, a burly man hugged a big tree and wailed. His wails were heart-wrenching. The person crying was none other than Xiahou Longcheng.
Beside the tree, with Biyue of the East Flower Headquarters in the lead, Miao Yi, Zhan Ruyi, Yan Su, Yao Xing, Ding Zequan, Sang Ruyue, Gao You, Lian Fangyu, and Rui Fan, the nine Great Commanders of Heaven's Avenue were also present.
Seeing Xiahou Longcheng crying so sorrowfully, everyone around him had a strange expression on their faces.
There was no other reason than that Xiahou Longcheng had been demoted to become a mountain god in the middle of nowhere.
It wasn't that he had made some unforgivable mistake, but that he had made too many small mistakes. If Jade Luo Planet still had a headquarters like it had in the past, he wouldn't have ended up in this state. It was precisely because there was no one on Jade Luo Planet to keep an eye on him, coupled with his background and bad temper … At first, he was still able to control himself. But later on, he really started to do whatever he wanted. He had already caused so much trouble in Jade Luo Planet's Celestial Street.
The strange thing was that no one reported him. Or rather, even if someone did report him, it was suppressed by someone with ulterior motives. The shops of so many influential families didn't say a word about his misdeeds. It could even be said that Xiahou Longcheng had ended up in this state because someone had instigated and condoned him.
However, the Xiahou Clan wasn't deaf or blind. They realized that something was wrong and that someone was plotting against them. As a result, the Heavenly Empress, Xiahou Chengyu, issued a decree to punish Xiahou Longcheng severely. Xiahou Longcheng was immediately demoted to become a mountain god in the middle of nowhere, keeping him away from trouble.
Jade Luo Planet almost celebrated with gongs and drums.
In fact, from a certain point of view, this was the Xiahou Clan's intention to protect Xiahou Longcheng, but the key was that Xiahou Longcheng didn't think so.
"Xiahou Longcheng, go there and start over. There will still be opportunities in the future." Bi Yue sighed.
Xiahou Longcheng immediately stomped his feet and beat his chest. He roared at the sky, "I can't accept this!"
"Commander, it's getting late. They set the time for you to take up your post." The escort arranged by Bi Yue reminded him in a low voice.
"My a * * * *!" Xiahou Longcheng turned back and roared. He raised his sleeve to wipe his tears and walked up to Miao Yi. Suddenly, he opened his arms and gave Miao Yi a bear hug. He choked with sorrow and said, "Brother Niu, I feel so wronged!"
Miao Yi rolled his eyes. He thought to himself, 'You still feel wronged? Someone else would have died a hundred times over with your actions.' Of course, he still pushed him away and comforted him, "Brother Xiahou, where there's life, there's hope."
Xiahou Longcheng moved to the next Zhan Ruyi and opened his arms to hug him again.
Zhan Ruyi reacted quickly. He flipped his hand and pressed a dagger against Xiahou Longcheng's chest. He said in a low voice, "What do you want?"
Xiahou Longcheng didn't know if it was intentional or not, but he didn't say anything and turned to leave. At the same time, he sighed at the sky. "I regret being born in a noble family!"
His tone was full of heartfelt sorrow and desolation, but it made everyone roll their eyes. Bi Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She muttered to herself, 'He probably hates being born in a noble family.' Otherwise, he would have killed him a long time ago.
Xiahou Longcheng suddenly flew into the sky. A voice came from afar. "Everyone, come and see me when you have time!"
'Who the hell would go see you!' The group of people cupped their hands together and said, "Take care, Brother Xiahou."
When he disappeared from the sky, Zhan Ruyi sneered. "This guy's one year as the Great Commander of Heaven's Street is equivalent to a few years of work for us. Who knows how much he's gotten in the past one thousand years. He still has the nerve to cry here."
Gao You said, "He's finally gone. He's ruined Jade Luo Planet."
Ding Zequan said, "The Xiahou family is really ruthless. They sent him to the middle of nowhere. He won't be able to harm anyone now, right?"
Miao Yi shook his head and sighed. This Xiahou Longcheng was really useless. Otherwise, the Xiahou family wouldn't have done this. After this separation, it would be hard for them to meet again …
Flowers bloomed and withered. Spring passed and autumn came. Time was merciless. Two thousand years had passed.
"Heaven's Street of Heaven's Origin Planet …"
In the Starry Hall, Master Qing, who was handling official business, finally received the examinee's name list. He unintentionally noticed the origins of Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle's names. He thought of something and looked down at Sima Wentian. "Are there people called Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle under Niu Youde's command?"
It was time for the Great Commander of Heaven's Street's turn again. This time, it was the substitute examination. The Great Commander of Heaven's Street couldn't be held for a lifetime. There were bound to be ups and downs, like Xiahou Longcheng. How many vacancies were there? Those who were ranked higher would be filled first. Those who weren't filled would be given the position of Great Commander. In the future, if there were vacancies, they would be promoted from those who passed the examination. They would display their abilities first. It was still the same. Those who hadn't participated in the Purgatory Examination couldn't be appointed as Great Commanders of Heaven's Street.
Sima Wentian pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Yes! They are all Niu Youde's subordinates. I think they participated in the examination this time. "
"How many people did Niu Youde send to participate in the examination?"
"If I remember correctly, these two should be the ones who went."
Qing Zhu waved the jade archive in his hand. "This is the list of people who passed the examination submitted by Gao Guan. A strong general indeed has no weak soldiers. Two of them went, and both of them actually passed."
In reality, all four Constellations Masters had gone to participate in the examination. It was just that Xiong Wei and Hong Tian weren't under Miao Yi's command. They went from other places in name. With Miao Yi's secret help, it would be hard for the four of them not to pass the examination. Furthermore, their rankings were quite high this time. It wouldn't be a problem for them to fill the vacancies of Great Commanders of Heaven's Street.
Of course, the Purgatory Realm had made other arrangements. They didn't let the four of them know that Miao Yi had any relationship with the Purgatory Realm.
As for Xu Tangran and Murong Xinghua, without Miao Yi's' encouragement ', they wouldn't have risked their lives there. They didn't participate in the examination.
Sima Wentian said, "It could also be that Niu Youde imparted some experience to him."
Qing Zhu pondered for a moment, then said, "It's been more than three thousand years in the blink of an eye. He should have obtained enough cultivation resources from Heaven's Street by now. Even if he's a mule or a horse, it's about time he came out for a walk. How's the investigation going on your side? Is it useful?"
When he heard this, Sima Wentian felt a little awkward. He said, "I haven't sent anyone to infiltrate his side yet."
Qing Zhu narrowed his eyes. "It's been so many years. Your people can't even infiltrate a mere Heaven's Street Commander?" He was just short of saying what the hell were you doing?
Sima Wentian hurriedly said, "That guy has offended too many people, and he's even been assassinated before. He's very cautious of himself. After so many years, he would rather have the number of people guarding the city palace remain empty than to easily replenish his manpower. Now, he's focused on cultivation and doesn't participate in any social gatherings. The people around him are also very guarded against outsiders, and the entire Heaven's Street is under his complete control. If there's even the slightest sign of trouble, someone will immediately come to investigate. We've arranged several groups of people, but none of them can get close to him.
