He wasn't boasting. He was also someone who had risked his life to kill a few times. He had already deeply understood what Lao Bai's method of making him train hard meant. Now, as long as he had his spear in hand, it would be difficult to find a match for him among cultivators of the same cultivation level. Under normal circumstances, no one would be able to dodge three strikes from his spear.
What's more, with the Inversed-Scales Spear in hand, not to mention the transcendent artifact's power, he could also neutralize twenty percent of the opponent's attacks. His attacks also had the explosive power, not to mention his entire body of transcendent artifacts to protect himself. A mere White Lotus Third Grade cultivator was no match for him.
"Peeking at women bathing, and stealing women's clothes..."
Before the Daoist nun could finish, Miao Yi hurriedly interrupted her, "This is all a misunderstanding. It was my mount that caused the trouble. I did not mean to offend you. It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. I will apologize to you all here. I hope you all will be magnanimous."
He cupped his fists towards the crowd, then turned around and hurriedly rode Charcoal away. He didn't want to be entangled any further, and quickly disappeared into the forest, ignoring Yao Ruoxian who was watching from the side.
Yao Ruoxian was stunned. He glanced at the women soaking in the water and coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed.
A silhouette shot out from the storage ring, immediately wrapping around Yao Ruoxian, and streaked across the sky.
The Daoist nun sucked in a breath of cold air, and cried out involuntarily, "A Red Lotus expert!"
Only now did she realize how rash she had been. Even the Sect Master of her sect was only at the Red Lotus First Grade.
Soaking in the water, the round-eyed woman bit her lip as she looked in the direction Miao Yi disappeared, her eyes filled with resentment.
Even if Miao Yi turned into ashes, she would still recognize him.
Although Miao Yi didn't know this woman, it wasn't as if he had never seen her before.
If he had any recollection of her, he would remember that when he was visiting East Arrival City in disguise, he had waved his hand to reject a silk ball that was thrown at him.
The owner of the silk ball was this woman. She came from a well-to-do family, and was the daughter of the richest man in East Arrival City.
She viewed that incident as a great humiliation, but she also knew that she couldn't do anything to the other party. Hence, she tried her best to seek immortality, hoping that one day, she would find that person and redeem herself.
He had traveled from the Celestial Nation to the Boundless Nation, traversing mountains and rivers before finally joining the Celestial Sect. It was unknown how great of a price he had paid during this period of time. It was unknown how much perseverance and willpower he had needed, all for the sake of repaying the humiliation he had suffered one day.
Who would have thought that she would once again meet the person who had rejected her embroidered ball, causing her heart to clench fiercely.
The other party had six storage rings on him alone, along with a full body of treasures. He even had a Red Lotus realm expert by his side. He was even more extraordinary than when he had first met him. To him, the other party was a lofty and unreachable figure, and he had only just stepped into the world of cultivation. He didn't even have a cultivation grade yet.
This woman finally understood just how wide the gap between her and Miao Yi was. Even her own Eldest Senior Sister couldn't withstand a single blow from him. Even the Sect Master of her sect only had a cultivation at the Red Lotus First Grade. Yet, Miao Yi's companion's cultivation had already reached the Red Lotus realm. How was she supposed to wash away this humiliation?
But to Miao Yi, the woman who threw the embroidered ball was just a passerby on his journey. He didn't care about her at all...
After catching up to Miao Yi, Yao Ruoxian wrapped himself in the protective barrier and flew alongside him. From time to time, he would glance at Charcoal and snicker, "As expected of the fat thief. Interesting, hehe..."
"Senior Yao, are you taking pleasure in my misfortune?"
"No, I just feel that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. I don't mean anything else. Looks like we can't stay here for long. I don't know which sect those women belong to either. Let's not attract trouble from their sect. We have to change locations and hide further away to avoid being disturbed. "
As he finished speaking, another bar mace artifact emerged from the storage ring. It exploded into a ball, enveloping Miao Yi and Charcoal, and then both of them flew into the sky...
Celestial Nation, Fifth Earthly Branch, Suppressing Second Hall under Traversing Moon Palace. Hall Master Huo Lingxiao had a cultivation at the Red Lotus Fifth Grade. At this moment, he was gathering his subordinates for a discussion in the grand hall.
The three Advisors, six Deacons, and ten Manor Heads were all present. South Edict Manor Head Yang Qing was among them, but his expression was not too pleasant.
The three Advisors, Feng Zhihuan, Han Liuping, and He Yunye, all had a cultivation at the Red Lotus First Grade. Their position in Suppressing Second Hall was second only to Hall Master Huo Lingxiao.
However, at this moment, Feng Zhihuan and He Yunye were arguing with each other in front of Hall Master Huo Lingxiao. The topic of their argument was none other than the fact that He Yunye was still harping on the matter of Yang Qing taking down South Edict Manor.
He Yunye's reason was that Yang Qing was not suitable to be in charge of South Edict Manor. The reason was simple. He only said that Yang Qing was still unable to deal with the School of Blue Jade, causing the people of South Edict Manor to be in a state of panic.
He Yunye suggested to the Hall Master to send a more powerful person to take charge of South Edict Manor.
Now that Yang Qing had pledged his allegiance to Feng Zhihuan, he would always take out a portion of the Orbs of Will collected by South Edict Manor to show his respect to Feng Zhihuan.
Now that he had encountered such a situation, Yang Qing was in no position to argue with He Yunye. Feng Zhihuan, who had received the benefits, naturally had to stand up for Yang Qing. He argued in the grand hall, saying that Yang Qing had only been in charge of South Edict Manor for a few years, and that he needed to give Yang Qing time to solve his problems.
He had no choice but to fight for it. If he couldn't protect Yang Qing, then He Yunye's men would be in charge of South Edict Manor. The benefits that South Edict Manor gave out every year would definitely be given to He Yunye. It would have nothing to do with Feng Zhihuan, so he naturally had to protect Yang Qing.
However, what made Feng Zhihuan wary was that the original Manor Head of South Edict Manor, Lu Yu, was Han Liuping's man. Logically speaking, Han Liuping should be the one who had the most opinions about Yang Qing. Now that Han Liuping was standing silently at the side, what was He Yunye doing here?
"Stop bickering." Hall Master Huo Lingxiao, who had been sitting high above with his eyes slightly lowered, slowly opened his eyes and swept his gaze across the crowd. His gaze fell on Yang Qing. "Yang Qing!"
"Your subordinate is here!" Yang Qing quickly stepped out of the ranks and cupped his fists to receive his orders.
He was feeling a little apprehensive in his heart. He didn't know what was going on with the sudden appearance of this drama today, nor did he know what the Hall Master's opinion was. If the Hall Master really wanted to remove his position as South Edict Manor's Manor Head, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
Huo Lingxiao wasn't the same as Lu Yu all those years ago, someone who could be killed on a whim. He, Yang Qing, didn't have the ability to do so, so he could only bow his head and obey orders.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he could kill Huo Lingxiao, so what? Did he want to become the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall? That was impossible. The cultivation of the other nine Manor Heads were all higher than Yang Qing's. No one would obey him, and would immediately join forces to eliminate him. Moreover, he had no connections in Traversing Moon Palace. The Palace Lord of Traversing Moon Palace would never appoint him as the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall.
Even if he could become the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall, the forces under him were still insufficient. He didn't have enough manpower. Even taking care of South Edict Manor was difficult enough, and he still had to rely on the help of the School of Blue Jade, not to mention taking care of such a vast territory like Suppressing Second Hall. No matter how high Yang Qing's cultivation was, there was no way he could take care of everything, big or small, in such a large territory all by himself. He still needed someone to help him manage it.
However, he felt that although South Edict Manor was conquered by him during his rebellion, it was with Feng Zhihuan's help that he obtained the Hall Master's decree of appointment. He believed that the Hall Master wouldn't go back on his word and slap his own face in public.
"Take good care of South Edict Manor. If there is any delay in the handing over of the Orbs of Will, I will hold you accountable!" Huo Lingxiao said in a dignified manner.
As soon as he said this, Yang Qing heaved a huge sigh of relief. He respectfully replied, "Yes! Your subordinate will not disappoint the Hall Master's expectations! "
As soon as Huo Lingxiao spoke, the matter was settled. Finally, no one dared to utter another word.
After the meeting was over, a group of people walked out of the Suppressing Second Hall's Grand Hall. Feng Zhihuan and He Yunye looked at each other and snorted coldly.
Yang Qing naturally followed behind Feng Zhihuan and left.
