Now that the Skytraversing Palace was willing to accept his' business', Miao Yi indeed had to make his preparations. He wanted to cleanse the shops of the Yao, Devil, Ghost, Immortal, and Buddhist Daos in blood. He couldn't possibly kill his wives and concubines as well, so he had to make other arrangements. The reason why he contacted the Skyair Palace first was because he didn't know if the Skyair Palace would accept the mission. Only after confirming that the mission was accepted would he be able to make the necessary arrangements.
However, he didn't intend to inform Yun Zhiqiu this time not because he didn't trust her. On the contrary, Yun Zhiqiu was definitely the person he trusted the most. He just didn't want to put Yun Zhiqiu in a difficult position. After all, there was a high chance that he might accidentally injure Yun Zhiqiu. He knew that Yun Aotian hadn't brought all of his children into the Purgatory. Some of them were still outside, and they were all Yun Zhiqiu's elders.
If Yun Zhiqiu found out about it and didn't stop it, what would Yun Zhiqiu become? First of all, he couldn't shake off the label of being unfilial.
Even though Miao Yi knew that killing Yun Zhiqiu's family would hurt Yun Zhiqiu's feelings, he still decided to do it. He knew that he had to teach the Six Paths a lesson now. He had to give them a warning.
Although it would break Yun Zhiqiu's heart, he and Yun Zhiqiu had been together for so many years, and they understood each other very well. Yun Zhiqiu's words were sharp, but her heart was soft. Although she seemed strict, she was actually very tolerant of him. Her love for him could only be sensed and not expressed in words. He believed that Yun Zhiqiu would eventually forgive him.
It was also because of this that Miao Yi hesitated when he took out the Star Bell to contact Yun Zhiqiu.
He slowly walked out of the cave he was hiding in and watched Charcoal frolicking in the lake. After a long silence, he finally closed his eyes and sighed softly.
He didn't know why he had gradually become like this. He had actually killed his own relatives. If it was in the past, he definitely wouldn't have done this. Could it be that one day, he would also become like Mu Fanjun and the others, ruthless for the sake of benefits? He even wanted to make use of Yun Zhiqiu's love for him to kill the members of the Yun Clan?
Miao Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly as he recalled Yun Zhiqiu's dejected expression after the incident, and how he had coaxed her with his beautiful promise back in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea all those years ago. He shook his head. In the end, he couldn't bear to stab Yun Zhiqiu in the heart, so he changed his mind.
He took out the Star Bell on his back and cast a spell to shake it. He contacted Yun Zhiqiu.
Yun Zhiqiu sent a message and teased, "Niu Er, are you still angry?
Miao Yi: 'Sister Qiu, let's give the one million Transcendence Piercing Bows to them. One hundred and fifty thousand each. We'll keep one hundred thousand for our own use.
Yun Zhiqiu was surprised. Why? If I don't teach them a lesson this time. Aren't they treating us like pushovers?
Miao Yi thought, 'That won't teach them a lesson anyway. They'll still do what they're supposed to do. Don't you understand your grandfather and the rest? As long as there was a need, they wouldn't even blink an eye to kill their grandson-in-law. Which one of them would be easy to deal with? We can talk about teaching him a lesson later. Just do as I say this time.
Having shared the same bed for so many years, Yun Zhiqiu immediately sensed that something was amiss. Her husband wasn't a kind soul either. No matter how easygoing he was, there was no way he would be this easygoing. Even she had to resort to both carrot and stick to deal with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to subdue him, so he asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Miao Yi: There is indeed something. Although I can give them the items, it won't be easy to take them. I have something to say.
Yun Zhiqiu: Speak. I'll listen obediently. However, let me make this clear first. If you want to play any tricks, don't come looking for me. Go look for Qian'Er and Xue'Er.
Miao Yi was taken aback. At first, he didn't understand what she meant. However, when he heard Qian'Er and Xue'Er mention, he immediately understood what Yun Zhiqiu was hinting at.
'Stupid woman!' Miao Yi rolled his eyes. She was clearly trying to seduce him. He almost let his imagination run wild. He was both angry and amused at the same time. However, he also knew that Yun Zhiqiu was afraid that he would still be angry. She was trying to find a way to comfort him.
Miao Yi: I'll deal with you when I get back! Don't try to change the topic. Listen to me. When you get back, bring your elders with you. Then, call your Yun family elders as well as Ji Meili and her sisters. Call Yue Yao as well. Let's go to the Non-Phase Planet together.
Yun Zhiqiu: Why do you need us to go to the Non-Phase Planet? Besides, that little sister of yours might not listen to me.
Miao Yi: Then contact Mu Fanjun and have her pressure her. Tell her that if she wants those Transcendence Energy Bows, she has to do as I say. I can give them the items, but there are some things I need to make clear.
Yun Zhiqiu: What is it that must be said on the Non-Phase Planet?
Miao Yi: Now is not the time to tell you. I will naturally tell you when we get to the Non-Phase Planet. Then, you will naturally understand what is going on.
Yun Zhiqiu: Why are you being so secretive? Are you trying to lay a trap to catch us all in one go?
Miao Yi: I'm not joking.
Yun Zhiqiu: Alright, I got it.
Miao Yi: Oh right, get some of the spare Transcendence Energy Bows you have. Have someone send them to the small world so that Yao Ruoxian can study them. Let's see if he can refine them.
Yun Zhiqiu: I can have someone send them over, but don't get your hopes up. Even if Yao Ruoxian can refine them, it will be pointless. The Transcendence Energy Bows won't be of much use if they can't be mass-produced. And have you thought about the resources needed to mass-produce them? This is no longer a matter of money. Aside from the two people who control the entire world, no one else in the world could afford the Core Formation required. Even the Xiahou Clan might not be able to afford it!
Miao Yi fell silent. That was indeed the case. The Transcendence Energy Bows required at least a Fifth Grade Core Formation Cultivator to be powerful, and each Transcendence Energy Bow would require several Core Formation Cultivators. It was unrealistic for most people to mass-produce Transcendence Energy Bows. Only when a dynasty changed and a large number of casualties would they be able to accumulate such resources. Even if the Celestial Court had all the resources in the world, they still wouldn't be able to equip everyone, let alone others.
Miao Yi realized that he was overthinking things, so he could only let Yun Zhiqiu do as he saw fit.
Not long after the two of them broke contact, Jin Man sent another message, informing him that the Celestial Court had mobilized a large number of troops to wipe the Misty Star Sea off the face of the universe in order to capture the White Phoenix.
Miao Yi was a little shocked when he heard the news. 'Such a big move?'
It wouldn't do him any good if the White Phoenix fell into the hands of the Celestial Court. Besides, he still hadn't gotten his hands on the Transcendence Energy Bows in the White Phoenix's possession. He immediately took out the Star Bell and contacted the White Phoenix, telling her to make preparations.
After receiving the news, the White Phoenix stood on a jade planet, gripping the Star Bell in her hand. She gritted her teeth in anger. Master Qing was trying to cut off her escape route. She could only hide in the Misty Star Sea to be free. Once she left the Misty Star Sea, she would lose her freedom. No matter how big the world was, she would still have to hide forever. What was more troublesome was that there were countless forces in the world who wanted to find her. It would be dangerous no matter where she went. Even if she handed over the Transcendence Energy Bow and said it wasn't in her possession, no one would believe her. At the very least, they had to capture her first.
She knew from the start that Master Qing couldn't afford to offend her. She didn't want to go overboard either. However, she had disarmed the Celestial Court's troops in a moment of haste. In the end, she ended up in so much trouble. Now, she was filled with regret.
However, she had no choice but to escape as soon as possible. If she fell into Master Qing's hands, even if she didn't die, she wouldn't be able to live. She had seen how terrifying Master Qing could be when he was vicious.
He gathered a group of little Jade Essence Spirits, then abandoned his home and fled …
Zhongli Kuai, who had been waiting for Miao Yi's news, finally arrived.
Zhongli Kuai quickly went to the Falling Jade Hall and informed Wen Huanzhen of the situation.
After Zhongli Kuai left the Falling Jade Hall, Yan Ge cupped her fists towards Wen Huanzhen, who was standing quietly in the hall, and asked, "Master, can we make our move now?"
Wen Huanzhen calmly replied, "There's no rush. Let's wait a little longer."
Yan Ge was confused. She didn't know what her Master was waiting for.
After a whole month, Zhongli Kuai was summoned to the Falling Jade Hall again. Wen Huanzhen said, "Tell him. Tell him that we have secretly investigated the five shops. We found out that the five shops all have their own secret strongholds. The number of people hiding in those strongholds must be much greater than the five shops. Remind him that it would be too easy to expose our Skytraversing Palace if we were to touch the shops in Celestial Street. We might even implicate him. Can we change the plan of massacring the five shops to massacring the strongholds behind them? "
Zhongli Kuai didn't dare to doubt his Grandmaster's words. Naturally, he contacted Miao Yi immediately.
Miao Yi was speechless. The reason why he wanted to attack the five shops was because he only knew about these five strongholds. And it was because he knew where his wives and concubines were staying. As for the other five strongholds, he knew nothing about them.
All he wanted was to teach the Five Paths a lesson. It wasn't that he had to hold on to the five shops. It was better to avoid the risk and achieve his goal. Naturally, he agreed.
It was just that this was a bit of a pity. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have given up on the Transcendence Piercing Bows to lure Yun Zhiqiu and the others away.
Yun Zhiqiu and the others were still on their way and hadn't reached Planet Formless yet. He was wondering if he should make Yun Zhiqiu change his mind.
Sitting cross-legged in the cave, Miao Yi thought for a while and shook his head with a bitter smile. He had already said that he had a million Transcendence Piercing Bows. It wouldn't be easy to make the Five Paths give up on them. Even Yun Zhiqiu wouldn't be able to resist their desires. Now, he could only hope for the best. With this, the Five Paths would know that he was the one who taught them a lesson. And it wasn't a bad thing to let the remnants of the Six Paths outside of Purgatory use the Transcendence Piercing Bows to cause trouble for the Sky Court.
"Grandmaster, he agreed." Zhongli Kuai cupped his fists as he put away the Star Bell.
Wen Huanzhen stroked his beard and smiled. Gu Xing was right. That Niu Youde really agreed.
He turned to his eldest disciple, Yan Ge, and nodded. "Be quick about this. Don't leave any loose ends!"
"Understood!" Yan Ge cupped his fists and left.
The Traversing Celestial Palace was situated in the midst of the Celestial Palace's wondrous scenery.
Within the tranquil Floating Clouds Palace, the Palace Lord of the Traversing Celestial Palace, You Yi, sat cross-legged in the center of the great hall. He slowly opened his eyes and held the vibrating Star Bell in his hand. He muttered, "Gu Xing …"
This wasn't his first time dealing with this mysterious person. Last time, it was Gu Xing who informed him to personally intercept the White Phoenix.
After shaking the Star Bell for a while, he understood why Gu Xing was contacting him. With a wave of his sleeve, the doors to the hall slowly opened.
Outside, a fair-skinned boy carefully came in and greeted, "Grandmaster!"
You Yi calmly said, "Have the Grand Elder come see me."
"Understood!" The boy answered crisply and left.
In the faraway Traversing Moon Palace in the depths of the starry sky, nine bright moons lined up in the Nine Moons Palace. The moonlight pierced through the crystal dome like a crescent bed. On the ground, a beautiful woman with a graceful figure covered in silver gauze and supporting her head under the moonlight suddenly opened her eyes. Under the moonlight, she gracefully raised a slender index finger. A star bell floated on the tip of her finger, spinning from small to large, until it became the size of a normal star bell, vibrating.
She stared at the Star Bell with her cold eyes and gradually revealed a shocked expression. She cried out involuntarily, "Gu Xing! Could it be that he's back? "
