Miao Yi rushed into the stronghold and found Charcoal. He immediately mounted his horse, ignoring the boorish man's send-off. On the surface, he looked like he was in a hurry to find his cousin, but in reality, he was anxious to escape. He rode Charcoal and rushed out of the stronghold, all the way down the mountain and into the forest, galloping away...
The boorish man looked at the disappearing figure in the night, and chuckled, "What a fool!"
He turned around and strode back to the high platform to await his orders.
However, after waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement from the high platform. There wasn't even a trace of sound, and he could even smell the stench of blood. The boorish man really wanted to go up and see what was going on.
However, the Fort Master had previously instructed that he couldn't go up without being summoned.
The other Fort Master's subordinates also felt that something was amiss. They walked over and asked, "What treasure did that brat take out?"
The boorish man shook his head, "He kept it a secret and refused to say. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased us down."
Everyone could only continue to wait patiently. However, as the stench of blood grew thicker and thicker, the group looked at each other, not knowing what was going on up there. What treasure could produce such a strong stench of blood?
Some people even suspected that something had happened up there, but they couldn't explain it. If something had really happened, wouldn't there have been some noise from a fight?
In the night sky, a Night Owl followed the stench of blood and flew over, landing on the high platform with a flap of its wings.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at each other. They didn't see the Night Owl leave, and only heard the sound of it pecking. Their expressions gradually changed as they realized something was wrong.
The boorish man was the first to fly up to the high platform, and the scene before him left him dumbstruck...
The others also flew up one after another, each and every one of them stunned. They stood rooted to the ground for a long time, thinking that they were seeing things...
"Men! Mobilize the entire stronghold! Capture Niu Youde, dead or alive! "
An angry roar shook the heavens.
Not only the troops of Brass Gong Fort, but the troops brought by the Fort Masters also split into half and chased after Miao Yi.
The boorish man rushed into the stronghold and grabbed a Bat Spirit, saying sternly, "Quickly report to Commander Yuan..."
The seventy-two Stronghold Masters had all been beheaded, skinned, and had their cores dug out. This time, they had really poked a hole in the sky. They had to report this as soon as possible. No one could bear this responsibility.
The bat spirit took a few steps back and jumped into the air. A white light flashed on its body, and it immediately turned into a big bat. It flapped its wings and flew away under the moonlight …
The culprit knew that he couldn't hide this matter for long, so when Miao Yi was descending the mountain, he purposely ran in the opposite direction to confuse the culprit.
After running far away, he quickly changed his direction and fled.
He flew to the entrance of Pi Junzi's cave, jumped down, and barged straight into the cave. Pi Junzi was still unconscious on the ground.
Miao Yi reached out his hand and beckoned the little one to keep watch over him into his storage ring. Initially, he wanted to kill Pi Junzi while he was at it, but then he remembered that he had promised not to kill Pi Junzi after the matter was over.
Miao Yi was a man of his word and kept his promises. Even though he was not an old-fashioned gentleman, he was still a righteous man. As long as it was within his power to do so, he would never go back on his word.
So in the end, he decided to walk away and be merciful, letting Pi Junzi off the hook!
As soon as he exited the cave, he quickly jumped onto Charcoal's back, and one man and one dragon steed fled at top speed.
Miao Yi knew that he had gotten himself into big trouble this time. He had killed all seventy-two trusted Fort Masters under Commander Yuan. The consequences of a Third Grade Yao cultivator's wrath could be imagined. If he didn't escape now, then when would he?
However, not long after he escaped from Pi Junzi's cave, a flock of birds flew in all directions, circling and searching in the night sky. The tranquil night's atmosphere abruptly became tense.
To Miao Yi now, the biggest problem was how to cross the sea and return. It was easy for him to do it alone. With a piece of wood, he could ride the wind and break the waves. If someone chased after him, he could just dive into the sea to hide.
However, he still had Charcoal with him. The large ship from before had been destroyed by Madame Wu Hua, so he didn't know how Charcoal's ability to cross the vast ocean was.
Even though he could beat and scold Charcoal, he couldn't possibly abandon Charcoal just to escape for his own life. That bastard had saved his life at a crucial moment. Even if it wasn't as serious as sharing life and death, he should at least try to share weal and woe together, right?
However, even if he had a large ship, he wouldn't dare to use it. A large ship on the sea was too obvious a target.
Miao Yi knew very well that it wouldn't be that easy to escape. He was afraid that a great escape with a slim chance of survival was about to begin.
There was one thing that wasn't good about escaping in the mountain forest. There were always large trees blocking the way, and Charcoal had to constantly turn left and right to avoid them, which greatly affected his speed.
However, right at this moment, Miao Yi suddenly turned his head to look in horror. An abnormal flapping sound of wings suddenly came from afar.
Miao Yi was startled. He quickly turned his head left and right to find a place to hide. Aiming at a hole, he quickly jumped in with Charcoal.
As soon as he fell into the hole, Miao Yi quickly rotated both his arms, gently invoking his arts like Taiji. The thick layer of withered leaves on the surrounding ground immediately fluttered over, like a blanket covering the hole, concealing his and Charcoal's figures.
Opening his transcendence vision, he peered through the gaps between the withered leaves, only to see a flock of unknown birds flying across the sky. There were even quite a few circling in the air, even shuttling through the forest to search every nook and cranny.
Miao Yi was extremely shocked. He didn't need to guess to know that they were looking for him. He didn't expect the other party to react so quickly, to actually be able to control so many birds to search.
Now he vaguely understood why Blue Lotus experts didn't dare to come to the Sea of Constellations on their own. It would be troublesome if they caused trouble. Cultivators who couldn't fly would have a hard time avoiding the search of so many birds.
Miao Yi was now a little regretful for his rash actions. He had really poked a hornet's nest. Perhaps even if he escaped into the sea, those demons could still mobilize the fish in the sea to search for him. This was completely possible. He was afraid that it would be very difficult for him to escape.
"Wuu … wuu …"
A sharp bird cry suddenly came from afar. No one knew what was happening, but they saw the birds that were circling in the air, shuttling through the forest, and the birds that had just flown past seemed to have received some sort of summons. They quickly swept through the sky and returned.
In just a short while, they were all gone. The surroundings were once again peaceful, and the moonlight was dreary.
"Strange …" Miao Yi muttered. He cocked his head and listened for a while. With a wave of his hands, the withered leaves covering the ground scattered in all directions.
He patted Charcoal, gesturing for it to wait in the pit. He himself quickly scuttled towards the mountaintop at the side, wanting to observe the situation.
Arriving at the mountaintop, he burrowed into the crown of a large tree. He poked his head out from the top of the tree and looked around, but he didn't see anything.
He couldn't understand what was going on. Why did those birds that could clearly cause him a lot of trouble while he was escaping suddenly retreat?
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly saw two streaks of red light shooting towards him from the horizon. One was in front, and the other was behind. The latter seemed to be chasing after the former.
"Niu Youde! Where do you think you're going?! "A furious roar shook the heavens.
'Niu Youde?' Miao Yi was instantly shocked. Had this expert that could fly and tunnel through the ground already discovered him?
"Yuan Kaishan, there's something wrong with your goddamn brain. I already said that I'm not Niu Youde. Don't keep chasing me!"
