'So that's how it is.' Miao Yi and Zhan Ruyi looked at each other speechlessly.
He Zhi glanced at the noisy couple again. He wanted to ask what was going on between the two of them and why they were together again after such a big fight. But thinking that it was Zhan Ruyi's embarrassing matter, he couldn't bring himself to ask. In the end, he cupped his hands and indicated that he had something to do and would take his leave first.
The two of them then returned to their respective places.
Returning to the Black Tiger Banner's encampment, Miao Yi placed his hands behind his back and lowered his head. He slowly walked into the barracks, pondering over the mission in Ding Mao Domain. He remembered that Gao Guan had mentioned about the Fox Demon. It seemed like it was discovered in Ding Mao Domain. He wondered if it had anything to do with this mission.
Not too long later, Zhang Xuan's footsteps came to a halt. Raising his head, he saw a group of people blocking his path, looking at him expectantly. They were none other than the commanders of the Ten Eagle Flags. Miao Yi was taken aback. "What for?"
Li Zhiyuan cupped his hands and said, "Commander, do you have any missions?"
Miao Yi swept a glance at their fiery gazes, then thought back to the situation in the Black Dragon Sector's conference hall. He immediately knew that the same thing was about to happen to him. There was no way he would bring up the matter of the mission being snatched away. Without another word, he waved his hand and said, "The Head Commander said that there are no more missions to be taken. We will be stationed here for the time being."
Everyone looked at each other, a little disappointed. Meanwhile, Miao Yi had already quickly passed through the crowd and left.
Dressed in a red robe, Yan Beihong's tall and burly figure floated in the starry sky. His face was full of sideburns as he stared at the Venomous Sea Star before him. Now that he had confirmed the location, he flipped the star chart in his hand and put it away. Then, he tore off the red robe he was wearing, revealing the black nocturnal clothes underneath. Then, he put on a fanged ghost mask.
He spread his arms and charged toward Venomous Starfish.
Rushing into the air shield, what came into sight was a vast ocean. There were no living creatures in the ocean here, and the seawater was poisonous, which was the origin of the name Poison Sea Star. The continent surrounded by seawater was dotted with patches of green. The vegetation that relied on rainwater to survive was mostly a desolate desert.
Hovering in midair, Yan Beihong surveyed his surroundings. Soon after, it patrolled the skies above the continent, scanning the area below with its eyes. The focus of its search was on the green vegetation below.
After searching for a long time without finding his target, he suddenly stopped in midair. He suddenly punched the ground.
Boom! The earth trembled, and smoke rose in all directions. A huge hole appeared in the ground, and the cracks around it were like a spider web.
Yan Beihong hovered in the air above the billowing smoke and dust, waiting quietly. He scanned his surroundings.
After waiting for a while, a black dot appeared in the distance, flying in their direction. It was a grey-robed, white-haired old man with a Second Grade Red Lotus mark on his forehead.
When he got closer, the grey-robed old man looked at the huge crater in the ground. He was clearly alarmed. He looked at Yan Beihong and said, "I am the land of this land. Who dares to be so impudent here?"
Yan Beihong replied, "I'm an old friend of Xiahou Longcheng's. I'm here to pay him a visit. Where is he?"
The grey-robed, white-haired old man was stunned. The Mountain God's background was not one that anyone would dare to offend. It would be troublesome if he offended the Mountain God's friend. The Mountain God's bad temper was not one to be trifled with. He would fight with his fists at every turn. He immediately took out the Star Bell and said with a smile, "May I know your name so that I can inform the Mountain God?"
Yan Beihong said, "You don't have the right to know who I am. Xiahou Longcheng will know when he sees me."
The old man was helpless. He could only shake the Star Bell to contact him.
"The sky is shaking, the earth is barren. The sky is shaking, the earth is barren. I'm wandering around alone … "
On a desolate hill, a man slowly climbed up the slope, then swung his arms and slid down the other side of the hill. Gravel clattered under his feet. It was Xiahou Longcheng. He wore a garland of flowers on his head and a large wine gourd in his hand. He was drunk and singing a self-composed song as he wandered around the mountain. It was obvious that he was very bored.
Though he was a scion of House Xiahou, he was no different from an abandoned son. Fortunately, he had a younger brother who would send him gifts from time to time, such as wine or women. Even so, it was difficult to stave off the boredom.
Xiahou Hucheng had tried to persuade him again and again that others would never think of such leisure. His big brother should cultivate in peace here. Once his cultivation increased, the family would naturally let him leave.
But Xiahou Longcheng felt bitter! The Xiahou family had deliberately suppressed him here for the family's benefit. To avoid trouble, only the heavens knew when he could leave. The Xiahou family didn't lack people with high cultivation. It didn't matter if he was here or not. He might not be able to leave for the rest of his life.
He burped and took out the Star Bell. When he heard the message, he was somewhat surprised. Someone was here to see him? Without even thinking, he immediately became alert. Whoever it was, it was good that someone could come and relieve his boredom. He happily replied, "I'm in North Mountain. Bring him here quickly."
After a full two hours, Yan Beihong, still wearing his ghost mask, flew over behind the old man. Yan Beihong also kept his composure and took his time.
"Sir, I've brought your friend." As soon as he landed, the old man bowed to Xiahou Longcheng in a fawning manner.
Xiahou Longcheng ignored him and tilted his head to look at Yan Beihong. He asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Take off your mask. "
He didn't know him? The old man immediately turned to look.
Yan Beihong said, "Xiahou Hucheng asked me to deliver something to you." He had heard about Xiahou Hucheng from Miao Yi.
Xiahou Longcheng asked, "What is it?"
Yan Beihong looked Xiahou Longcheng up and down, focusing on the garland on his head. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Xiahou Longcheng's physique and appearance matched Miao Yi's description, but why would a man like him wear a garland …? He was a little worried that if he killed the wrong person, he would alert Xiahou Longcheng and cause trouble for Miao Yi. He had no choice but to be cautious. He said, "First, prove that you are Xiahou Longcheng.
Xiahou Longcheng was suspicious. His younger brother would definitely notify him before sending someone to deliver something. It had always been like this for so many years. His gaze fell on the other party's ghost mask, and he gradually grew wary. He immediately took out the Star Bell and said, "Let me confirm with my younger brother first."
How could Yan Beihong allow him to confirm that he was connected to Xiahou Hucheng? His words had undoubtedly confirmed the other party's identity. Without another word, a high-purity red crystal broadsword appeared in Yan Beihong's hand, and he swung it like a phantom. "Ahhh!" The earth blocking his way let out a blood-curdling scream as it was sliced into two.
Xiahou Longcheng was shocked. Fortunately, he had been on guard in advance. The bracelet on his wrist emitted a treasure light, and thousands of circles of shadows shot out, attacking the knife shadow that was coming at him.
Clang! This kind of Fifth Grade Transcendent Artifact couldn't stop the current Yan Beihong. Quite a few of the bracelets that were shooting towards him were sent flying by Yan Beihong's saber.
However, this saved Xiahou Longcheng's life. The bracelets that had been struck until their light had dimmed were sent flying by Yan Beihong's saber. Xiahou Longcheng spat out a mouthful of blood and was unable to dodge in time. He was sent flying by the bracelets that were sent flying back, and he barely managed to dodge the saber shadow that was coming down at him.
Dozens of bracelets were sent flying by the saber strike, but there were still thousands of bracelets circling around and attacking Yan Beihong. Yan Beihong abruptly turned around and slashed out countless saber shadows in all directions. Clang! Clang! Clang! The thousands of bracelets were all sent flying in an instant. Their glow dimmed as they lost their energy and could no longer fly back.
Yan Beihong raised his saber and chased after Xiahou Longcheng.
Xiahou Longcheng had just crashed to the ground and vomited blood. When he looked back, he was almost scared out of his wits. He waved his hand and threw a black shadow at the charging Yan Beihong.
A black sack abruptly expanded in front of him. The charging Yan Beihong couldn't stop in time and was caught off guard. He tried to dodge to the side, but countless ropes shot out of the sack and entangled him. The tornado that came out of the sack spun him around at high speed.
Yan Beihong was shocked. He realized that he had been too careless. This descendant of an aristocratic family had quite a few Transcendent Artifacts on him. With a flick of his wrist, the saber in his hand flipped and he was about to break the bindings, but the black sack didn't give him the chance. With a flash, it sucked him into the sack.
The tornado died down, and the rumbling gravel on the ground gradually stopped. There was only smoke and dust in the air. The shrunken black sack flashed back and landed in front of Xiahou Longcheng.
"Cough, cough … Pfft!" The coughing Xiahou Longcheng spat out another mouthful of blood. He flipped over and sat up, panting heavily. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. He took out a Glorious Star Immortal Herb and stuffed it into his mouth to soothe the burning sensation in his lungs. Then, he grabbed the black sack beside him, fear still lingering on his face.
Although House Xiahou had demoted him to this place, Xiahou Hucheng saw that his older brother didn't even have anyone here to protect him. His older brother's personality was too embarrassing to mention, and he had offended too many people. So, he gave his Transcendent Artifact to his older brother to protect himself. Of course, he didn't know that it had saved his older brother's life at the critical moment.
Xiahou Longcheng was also very glad that his younger brother had given him this Transcendent Artifact. At the time, he didn't want it, thinking that his younger brother needed it more. He had never been assassinated before, so he was fine. If his younger brother hadn't forced it on him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to keep his life.
He was really scared now. He looked around, worried that someone would come to kill him again. He took out a set of high-purity red crystal battle armor and put it on.
Who knew that what he was afraid of would come. Perhaps they had heard the noise of the fight. Two figures flew over quickly, floating in the air and looking down.
Xiahou Longcheng, who was shocked, was about to take out his Transcendent Artifact, but he was stunned again. He knew the two people in the air. He had seen them when he went to be the supervisor of the examination. They were the subordinates of the chief examiner, the Supervisor of the Right Gao Guan. One was called Zhang Luanshan, and the other was Pei Mo.
The two landed in front of Xiahou Longcheng. Zhang Luanshan turned his hand and showed a token of the Supervisor of the Right Division of the Heavenly Court. He said in a deep voice, "Xiahou Longcheng, we were ordered to ask you … What happened to you?"
Xiahou Longcheng hurriedly got up as if he had seen his savior. His injuries were too severe. He wailed like a ghost and howled, "Take me away, someone wants to kill me …" He quickly explained the situation to Xiao Luo.
Zhang Luanshan walked over and supported him with one arm. He said with a serious expression, "Who wants to kill you?"
"I don't know! Just then, he suddenly appeared and said … "Xiahou Longcheng was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly looked behind him with a horrified expression.
