"The black market is buying Transcendence Bows?" Miao Yi was shocked.
He didn't need to think too much to know that the black market was after the batch of Transcendence Bows that had been disarmed in the Astral Bewildering Seas. That was nearly nine million Transcendence Bows. Someone actually dared to target them? What were they trying to do? Didn't they know it was a taboo? He turned back and asked, "Do you know which forces are involved?"
Xu Tangran replied, "According to Huang Xiaotian, it should be from the Celestial Court to the Celestial Court's Big Shots, as well as the various forces beneath them. I'm guessing the rebels are involved as well. In any case, the black market has been quite lively lately. All sorts of people have come out and set their eyes on the Transcendence Bows."
Miao Yi shook his head. The Transcendence Bow's refinement method had always been firmly in the Celestial Court's hands. It was understandable that the rebels wanted it, but now even the Big Shots of the Celestial Court were involved. What were they thinking? Were they trying to hold back?
"Even His Majesty's seat isn't comfortable!" Miao Yi sighed. He could understand. Those who had reached the level of the Big Shots of the Celestial Court would more or less have a sense of self-preservation. They wouldn't let the Green Master do whatever he wanted. From a certain point of view, the fact that the various bigwigs could restrain Lord Qing was also maintaining the balance of power in the Heavenly Court. Otherwise, if everything was decided by one person, then everyone's life and death would really be entrusted to one person's happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. Probably no one would expect to see a second demonic monk Nan Bo appear.
He wasn't interested in the Transcendence Bows, but he was concerned about Yan Beihong and Charcoal's safety. He didn't know where White Phoenix had gone, and he couldn't even contact her if he wanted to. The only thing he could do now was to find out who was selling the Transcendence Bows on the black market.
Just as he was reminding Xu Tangran to keep an eye on the black market, a voice called out from outside, "Report!"
Miao Yi lifted his head and said, "Come in."
One of his subordinates came in to greet him, then presented a jade archive with both hands. "Commander, there's someone outside requesting an audience. He says he's an old friend of yours."
"An old friend?" Miao Yi took the jade archive and asked, "What's his name?"
The subordinate replied, "I don't know. The guard said that he refused to reveal his identity. "
Miao Yi furrowed his brows and invoked his transcendence energy to examine the jade archive in his hand. To his surprise, there was a drawing of a mantis inside. It was the Yin Yang Mantis he had been raising. Could it be that Yun Zhiqiu is here? He guessed that Yun Zhiqiu was worried that something might have happened to him because he couldn't get in touch with Yun Zhiqiu. He raised his head and said, "Please!"
Soon, a little old man came in and bowed.
Miao Yi knew it wasn't Yun Zhiqiu the moment he saw her eyes. Some things could be disguised. Some things couldn't be faked. He was all too familiar with Yun Zhiqiu's eyes.
After the little old man bowed, a playful look appeared in his eyes as he transmitted his voice, "So you are the famous Niu Youde."
As soon as he heard the voice, Miao Yi's body trembled slightly as his pupils shrank. The White Phoenix!
He would not forget White Phoenix's voice so quickly. He was sure that there was no mistake, and there was no mistake in her gaze either. He was just thinking about how to find the White Phoenix, but he didn't expect her to come looking for him.
Miao Yi turned around to look at Yan Xiu, who was standing guard behind him. Then he waved his hand at Xu Tangran. "You can leave first. No one is allowed to enter without my permission, including Madam Ru."
"Yes!" Xu Tangran acknowledged the order and left. As soon as he stepped outside, he bumped into Fei Hong, who was serving tea. He had no choice but to stop her from entering.
Inside the central tent, Miao Yi slowly stood up. He stared at the little old man in front of him.
"Hehe …" The little old man chuckled. His figure shimmered, and in the blink of an eye, he reverted to his original form. It was the White Phoenix, dressed in a white dress.
Yan Xiu, who had been quiet all this time, was finally shocked. However, Miao Yi raised his hand to calm him down.
Another Thousand-faced Fox Spirit that could change into a thousand different forms. No wonder she could avoid the lockdown and come here! Miao Yi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You're quite bold to come here. How did you know I was here? "
The other party hadn't asked for his identity back then, and he hadn't told her either. He began to suspect that Yan Beihong had leaked his identity.
The White Phoenix tossed something to him. Miao Yi caught it and glanced at it, then realized that he had misunderstood Yan Beihong. It was his official jade disk, and his identity was written on it. He had forgotten about it.
Putting the jade archive away, Miao Yi asked, "What do you want?"
The White Phoenix said, "Let's continue our deal. You take out my belongings, and I will return yours to you."
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid it's not up to you now that you're here. This isn't like the Chaotic Star Seas where you can borrow power. The moment you make a move, the surrounding star regions will immediately lock down. It won't be that easy to escape. I don't care if I don't want your belongings. As long as I can capture you, do I have to worry about not being able to take back my belongings? "
The White Phoenix scoffed, "Enough with your useless threats. I'm not one to be scared of. If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead and try! I might as well make it clear that I'm a Chalcedony Spirit. Even if you destroy my heart, I won't die so quickly. I have enough time to kill you. I don't believe there's anyone in this world who isn't afraid of death. " With a flip of his hand, he grabbed the battered and exhausted Yan Beihong. "This guy sure is stubborn. He refuses to divulge your identity no matter what. From this, it can be seen that the two of you are no ordinary people. Do you want me to kill him first to refresh your spirit?"
Yan Beihong's entire body was covered in blood. It was obvious that he had been tortured. He lifted his head and looked at Miao Yi regretfully. Miao Yi pursed his lips and couldn't hide the apologetic look in his eyes.
As soon as Yan Beihong was dragged out, Miao Yi knew he had no other choice. He had been hoping that the White Phoenix wasn't aware of his relationship with Yan Beihong. Now that he had been exposed, he had lost his bargaining chip. What's more, Charcoal was still in the White Phoenix's hands. He gritted his teeth and said, "How can I trust that you won't go back on your word?"
The White Phoenix said, "It's just as you said. Even if I can escape from this place, it won't be that easy. There's no need for me to bring trouble upon myself. Besides, I've made a fortune this time. It's enough for me to live a happy life for a long time. I don't need to rely on your belongings. Niu Youde, we'll both take what we need and leave each other alone. What do you say? "
Miao Yi glared at her with a stern expression. He was furious inside. He realized that this woman was more than a little bold. She actually dared to barge into the Personal Guards' barracks and threaten him! But in the end, he still forced himself to say, "Fine! It's a deal! "
White Phoenix put Yan Beihong away with a flip of her hand, then walked up to Miao Yi and said, "Hurry up. Don't dawdle, and don't try anything funny!"
Miao Yi raised his hand and clenched his fist. Invoking his arts, he locked onto the heart flame in her heart and activated the Fiery Star Technique.
"Ugh …" White Phoenix furrowed her brows and let out a soft groan.
To her, this might have been something that had troubled her for many years. But to Miao Yi, it was as easy as lifting a finger. The invisible flame that was guarding her heart flickered for a moment, then completely disappeared. She could feel two indescribable things seeping out of her heart, then out of her chest, turning into two streaks of red and blue mist made up of countless specks of light. They converged on Miao Yi's five claws, then seeped into Miao Yi's palm and disappeared without a trace.
Soon, Miao Yi waved his hand and placed his hands behind his back. He stared at her coldly and said, "It's your turn to fulfill your promise."
White Phoenix examined herself and was overjoyed. The problem that had plagued her for so many years had finally been resolved. Even though the small formation in her heart was still there, it couldn't do anything to her anymore. She immediately invoked her arts and forcefully removed it.
The reason why she didn't dare to break this small formation before wasn't because she didn't have the ability, but because she didn't dare to. Instead, she had to use her own cultivation to maintain the small formation. Otherwise, the invisible flame that would go out of control would immediately take her life. Now that she had nothing to worry about, she naturally broke the formation in one fell swoop.
With her worries resolved, White Phoenix let out a long sigh of relief. With a wave of her hand, she tossed the storage bangle and beast sack onto the long table and said, "Take a look. I didn't take a single one of your things. They're all here. Am I trustworthy enough?"
Miao Yi didn't care about what she said. He quickly picked up the items and checked them one by one. After making sure that Yan Beihong and Charcoal were fine, he went through the rest. He wasn't sure exactly how many items he had on him, and he didn't bother to keep track of the scattered items either. However, he was certain that he didn't lose anything important. As for the rest, he didn't need to be calculative. She probably wouldn't play any tricks on him anyway.
"If there's nothing wrong, I'll be taking my leave now. From now on, we'll all go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other." White Phoenix waved her hand and transformed back into the little old man. She turned around and left, as though she couldn't wait to leave Miao Yi as soon as possible. She didn't want to have anything to do with Miao Yi anymore.
Because of this, Miao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word?"
White Phoenix stopped in her tracks. She turned around and said with a smile, "Do you really not know, or are you just pretending? I can guarantee that Master Qing still doesn't know about your cultivation technique. Otherwise, you'd be the first person he'd kill. You're really an interesting guy. Logically speaking, you should be avoiding Master Qing like the plague. How dare you stick around right under his nose? Forget it. It's none of my business. You go your own way, and I'll go mine. Let's just pretend we've never met before. "
She didn't dare to confirm some things before, but now that Miao Yi had resolved the problem in her heart, she could finally confirm it.
Miao Yi asked, "Who planted this restriction on your body?"
"Why don't you take a guess?" White Phoenix covered her mouth and smiled. She didn't say anything, and she didn't want to say anything either. She was afraid that she'd bring up some old grudge. She turned around and turned back into a serious old man. Then, she casually left, looking like she was in a good mood.
Miao Yi stared at her departing figure in silence, his eyes flickering.
Almost at the same time that White Phoenix was' forgetting about old grudges' …
Inside the Floating Clouds Palace of the Traversing Celestial Palace, an old man with silvery hair that resembled a gauze robe suddenly put away the Star Bell in his hand. His silver hair suddenly fluttered despite the lack of wind, and the tightly shut palace gates suddenly opened on their own. In an instant, the old man disappeared from the palace, and with a speed so fast that it was difficult for the naked eye to follow him, he disappeared into the depths of the starry sky in a flash …
Half a day later, a jet-black stargate slowly rotated, and a black-robed woman brazenly barged in without relying on any external objects.
In another part of the void, the black-robed woman abruptly spat out a silhouette. She surveyed her surroundings, and when she turned around to look behind her, her eyes abruptly widened as her entire body froze.
