Seeing that it was willing to accept the punishment, Miao Yi turned around and said, "Since it was in the wrong, I will give Senior an explanation today. I wonder how Senior would like to punish it?"
The Inferno Dragon Head snorted coldly and said, "The two of them have already decided not to pursue the matter. Just remember to keep it in check. If there's a next time, I won't let it off so easily!"
"No need!" Miao Yi raised his hand and said, "This is a separate matter. Later, if Senior feels that you have vented enough of your anger, just let me know." As soon as he finished speaking, his' staff 'stirred up the sound of wind and thunder. With a loud bang, it smashed fiercely onto Charcoal's body. It was a real hit, without a hint of feints.
Following that, the staff's afterimages did not stop, and Charcoal howled in pain. With Miao Yi's current cultivation, it was much more painful to hit Charcoal's body than before. Fortunately, Charcoal had not been a herbivore for nearly a thousand years, and was able to endure a lot more.
After a while, Miao Yi still didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. It was as though he was really going to wait until the other side shouted for him to stop. He really was a man of his word, and his attacks were merciless. The Inferno Dragon Head and the two young phoenixes were terrified as they watched. Afterwards, the two fledgling phoenixes chirped a few times. The Inferno Dragon Head couldn't bear to watch any longer. Seeing that Miao Yi had given such a sincere explanation, it opened its mouth to stop him. "Forget it. Since you've already been punished, then let this matter pass."
Hu! This was exactly what Miao Yi had been waiting for. The Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand stopped in its tracks, and he gave Charcoal a kick, as though he had expected better from Charcoal. Only then did he lean on the spear, and with a cold expression, he said, "He was wrong. I have already given you an explanation. This is what I should do. Now, let's talk about what we shouldn't do. After all, it's one of my people. Next time, if anyone wants to make a move on it, please inform me first. If anyone wants to punish it, it's not up to others to do it. I'll take care of it myself. Just like what Senior said, it's best not to let today's incident happen a second time. Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face! "
At the very least, he knew the severity of his actions. If he were to wait for someone else to make a move, who knew what kind of accident would happen.
"…" The Inferno Dragon Head was speechless. This punishment was really good.
"Stop pretending to be dead!" Miao Yi turned around and gave Charcoal another kick, then turned around and left.
Charcoal bounced up and turned around to follow after them. It was only limping. This time, it had really been beaten up quite badly. It would be enough for it to remember for a long time.
After watching the man and the steed leave the main hall, the Fiery Dragon Head seemed to mutter to himself, "How protective!"
As Miao Yi walked out of the grand hall and down the mountain, he turned his head to look at the dejected Charcoal. "What, you're not convinced?"
Charcoal lifted his head abruptly and uttered a single word, "Ouch!"
"You can still feel pain? Count yourself lucky I didn't break your leg! If you really kill those two Phoenixes, I won't be able to save you. "
"What's so great about those two chickens?"
"What's so great about it? If something happens to those two phoenixes, Old Dragon will fight you to the death! I warn you again. If you don't want to die, don't provoke those two phoenixes. They are the lifeblood of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans! "
A warning was a warning, but Miao Yi was still worried about Charcoal's character. He had warned him before, but in the end, Charcoal still provoked the two fledgling phoenixes. Hence, from today onwards, Miao Yi forbade Charcoal from going to the underground palace. He could absorb the demonic aura, but he had to go to the smoking mountain top and stay there, completely separating him from the two fledgling phoenixes.
After that, Charcoal secretly peed into the chimney. Who knew that the wind was a little strong, and he peed back on himself …
After the storm, everything was peaceful until the end of his thousand-year sentence.
Wen Ze, who was temporarily in charge of the Black Dragon Division, contacted Miao Yi a year in advance. He wanted Miao Yi to make preparations beforehand so that he could return to the exit in time. He said that the Black Dragon Division would send someone to pick him up on time. Obviously, unlike when he came here, he didn't have high-level personnel 'escorting' him here. He wouldn't have such treatment when he went back.
He didn't know what would happen on the way back. He estimated that it would take at least half a year, so Miao Yi decided to leave earlier.
He put away the Star Bell. Miao Yi, who was sitting cross-legged by the lava lake at the foot of the mountain, stood up and slowly looked around.
After a thousand years of cultivation in the Primordial Wastelands, his current rate of refining Basic Immortal Pills had reached about three thousand and three hundred per day. He estimated that it would take him more than seven hundred years to break through to Colored Lotus Second Grade.
Suddenly, he flipped his palm and pointed it towards the sky. The ethereal flames flickered in his palm and quickly solidified into a crystalline longsword. Its form was translucent, and it floated above his palm, gently rotating. The degree of solidification of the heart flame was no longer the same as before. It was thousands of times stronger than when he first came to the Primordial Wastelands.
With a flick of his sleeve, the crystalline longsword shot out. 'Boom!' A sturdy boulder standing in the middle of the lava lake was blasted into pieces. Amidst the rain of flying rocks, the shattered crystalline longsword turned into hundreds of small heart flame swords and returned to Miao Yi.
With a light flick of his sleeve, the swords returned to his body and disappeared without a trace. Miao Yi calmly turned around and leisurely walked up the mountain.
He entered the Dragon Cave Grand Hall and met with the Inferno Dragon Head to bid farewell. He also asked if there was a safe way to leave.
The Inferno Dragon Head wasn't worried at all. "Send a hundred Fire Spirits to escort you here. The Evil Spirits will naturally avoid you. There shouldn't be any intruders."
It would be best if that was the case. Miao Yi thanked him, and at the same time, suggested that Charcoal stay here for his own good.
Now that his cultivation had broken through to the Colored Lotus realm, the speed of a normal mount was no longer of much use to him. Unless he could get a divine beast as a mount, such as a dragon or phoenix, it would be more effective. He still had many concerns and matters outside that he couldn't give up. In addition, the cultivation resources he had on him were almost used up, so he had no choice but to go out. Otherwise, why would he be willing to leave such a beneficial place for cultivation?
Charcoal was different. With such a good cultivation opportunity, he naturally wanted to help Charcoal fight for it.
The Inferno Dragon Head wasn't willing. Under Miao Yi's repeated requests, he also expressed that he would interact more with the dragon and phoenix detained in the Celestial Court if the conditions allowed.
This was equivalent to a disguised reminder. There was a deeper meaning behind it, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a hidden threat. It wouldn't be wrong to think of it as keeping Charcoal here as a 'hostage'.
Of course, Miao Yi didn't make it sound so harsh. If the Dragon Cave didn't accept him, he would send Charcoal to the phoenix's nest.
In the end, the Inferno Dragon Head agreed. However, he made it clear beforehand that if Charcoal dared to cause trouble here, he would not let him off easily.
A hundred Fire Spirits were quickly prepared. Miao Yi thanked the Inferno Dragon Head and went to find Charcoal at the top of the mountain. He told Charcoal about his departure, as well as what he wanted to stay behind.
At the same time, he handed a storage bracelet to Charcoal for safekeeping. Inside were all the valuables he'd plundered from Yu Sha and the others. If such a large amount of valuables were discovered by the guards at the entrance of the Desolate Ancient Dead Lands, it would bring him great trouble.
Even though Charcoal couldn't bear to part with the evil source here, he didn't want to stay here alone. He wanted to go with Miao Yi even more.
"Stay behind!" Miao Yi made the decision for Charcoal with an unquestionable tone. He turned his back on the evil aura billowing into the sky, and looked towards the distant horizon. His clothes fluttered in the wind, and he wore an unforgettable expression on his face as he said, "Charcoal, we've gone through many life and death situations to reach this point. We've always been stuck between life and death. We can only continue moving forward. Without strength, there will be no future. I will work hard to move forward. If you still want to keep up with my footsteps and move forward, you can't slack off. You and I almost lost our lives to arrive at the Dragon Cave and the phoenix's nest. How can you let go of such a great opportunity? Listen to me. Stay behind! "
Charcoal naturally knew what it felt like to not be able to keep up with his footsteps. Back then, when Miao Yi didn't have any use for him, he could only watch from afar as Miao Yi soared through the sky. Even if he was anxious, he could only run for his life on the ground. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up.
Hearing this, he slowly lowered his head in disappointment and said, "It's not easy to enter and leave the Desolate Ancient Dead Lands."
Miao Yi tilted his head slightly and gave him a sidelong glance. "This temporary separation is only for the sake of a better reunion in the future! Don't worry. As long as I'm still alive, I will definitely come back to bring you out! " He then slowly looked towards the distant horizon with a deep gaze. "If I die and don't come back, someone will have to live to avenge me! You can't stay idle anyway, so I'll leave this matter to you! Remember, if you want to improve your strength, then stay alive here. Don't cause any more trouble. Once I leave, no one will be able to protect you anymore! "
Without another word, Miao Yi leaped down and ran down the mountain with his arms spread wide open.
On top of the mountain peak, Charcoal panted heavily. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot as he scratched the ground with his claws.
"Aooo … Aooo … Aooo …" Suddenly, a long and intense howl came from the top of the mountain.
Dozens of firebirds flew out from the lava lake. Miao Yi jumped onto the firebird's back and quickly turned his head around. He opened his transcendence vision and saw Charcoal howling endlessly at the top of the mountain.
As the firebird spread its wings and flew away, the black dot on the top of the mountain became smaller and smaller. Miao Yi expressionlessly turned his head back and looked ahead …
The auspicious aura was boundless, illuminating the starry sky.
Within the imperial harem, the Heavenly Valley Palace was the head of the imperial harem. It was also known as the Main Palace, and the Heavenly Empress, Xiahou Chengyu, was also known as the Main Palace Lady. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperor had established another East Palace, which resonated with the Main Palace from afar. They were vaguely competing for glory, and the Eastern Palace Lady was none other than the Heavenly Consort, Zhan Ruyi.
Dressed in plain green robes, Qing Zhu walked out of the East Palace's sleeping quarters with a cheerful expression on his face.
It had to be said that every time he came to the East Palace, he would always be in a good mood. Even though the woman in the East Palace was always expressionless and obedient, he had an inexplicable liking for her. Ever since the first time he saw her in the peach blossom garden, his heart had been moved. Back then, he thought it was just a momentary attraction. However, reality proved that he had fallen in love with this woman from the bottom of his heart. Ever since the establishment of the imperial harem, there had never been a woman who could make him feel this way. There were many beauties in the imperial harem, and there were countless who were more beautiful than this woman. However, he didn't know why he had fallen in love with her.
However, he could only keep this feeling in his heart. At his current position, if his preferences were too obvious, it might not be a good thing for the woman.
The Sky Palace's Head Steward Shangguan Qing, who was standing guard outside the East Palace, came over and greeted, "Your Majesty!"
Qing Zhu nodded slightly. As he walked, he asked, "Has anything happened recently?"
"Nothing much. It's just some old matters going on. Oh, right … "Shangguan Qing paused for a moment before continuing," There's news from Wen Ze, who is temporarily in charge of the Imperial Gardens Headquarters. Niu Youde is actually still alive. His thousand-year sentence in the Primordial Wastelands is about to be completed. It's very likely that he will return alive. With his cultivation, it's truly a miracle that he could survive until now in the Primordial Era! "
