How could he remain indifferent? Miao Yi asked himself in his heart. The answer was definitely no. There were too many reasons to do so. Not to mention, there were so many newcomers here for the Dominator to raise. This was no longer a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy!
He sighed inwardly. If Yang Qing were to be released into Purgatory, the peace that the Six Realms had been trapped in for so many years would be broken. Now, the Six Realms would be in deep trouble.
"Mm!" Miao Yi nodded, agreeing to it.
The two of them continued to discuss the details, then quickly summoned the Six Paths' representatives to the conference hall. Inside, Miao Yi explained his intentions.
The higher-ups of the Six Paths looked at each other. They were both surprised and happy. They didn't know whether to agree or not, so they said that they would go back and ask for their opinions. In fact, they needed time to think about it.
Miao Yi didn't want to waste his time with them, so he gave them some pressure and said, "I will leave tomorrow. I hope everyone can give me a reply as soon as possible."
Just as Yang Qing expected, the Dominator quickly came up with a list of people to leave.
The Ghost Dao sent Leng Zhuoqun as their leader, the Buddhist Dao sent Gui Wu as their leader, the Fiend Dao sent Dan Qing as their leader, the Demon Dao sent Chang Hong as their leader, the Immortal Dao sent Meng Ru as their leader, and the Boundless Dao sent Ao Tie as their leader.
Although the list of names had been drawn up, some people were not calm. Mu Fanjun invited General Zhangsun Ju over for tea.
The two of them could not help but talk about the people going out to take over the external forces. Zhangsun Ju was still emotional. "After being trapped here for so many years, this is the first time someone in the Six Realms managed to leave this place."
Mu Fanjun smiled faintly and reminded, "Actually, as long as we're willing, we might all be able to leave."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhangsun Ju was surprised.
Mu Fanjun raised her cup to her lips and calmly said, "It's enough for Miao Yi to hand over the way in and out."
Zhangsun Ju shook his head. "Do you think he will hand it over?"
Mu Fanjun: "As long as everyone has the intention, there are plenty of ways to force him to hand it over."
"Force?" Zhangsun Ju frowned slightly. "Some things are not as simple as the Holy Lord thinks. If he could be forced, he would have done so long ago. If we really force them, I'm afraid none of us will be able to leave Purgatory. Miao Yi's background is not that simple. "
"How so?" Mu Fanjun put down her teacup and looked down. "Are you afraid of Master White?"
Zhangsun Ju was startled. "Saint Lord knows?"
A teasing smile appeared on Mu Fanjun's lips. "Looks like I was right! I just don't understand. A person who can't even show his face in public is using all of us as chess pieces. Is General Lord really willing? "
Zhangsun Ju was silent. In the end, he slowly shook his head. "Although the Holy Lord has guessed it, I'm afraid you still don't know how terrifying Master White is."
Mu Fanjun asked with interest, "How terrifying? I would like to hear the details! "
Zhangsun Ju shook his head again. "There are some things that are hard to say. This is a vow we made all those years ago. If the Sacred Lord has a good memory, you should remember what happened when the Five Sages tried to make things difficult for Miao Yi. Holy Lord, do you know why we stopped the Five Sages in time? "
Mu Fanjun said, "That's exactly what I'm confused about. It's a pity that the General was unwilling to tell me before. Could it be that you're finally willing to tell me today?"
Zhangsun Ju stared into her eyes and slowly said, "As soon as the Five Sages made things difficult for Miao Yi, Master White's men immediately issued us a warning, asking if we were seeking death!"
Mu Fanjun's eyes widened slightly. She was quite surprised.
Zhangsun Ju continued, "Holy Lord, think about the destruction of the outposts. Ten secret outposts were destroyed at the same time. They didn't even have time to send a message. I don't think I need to explain what that means. At least one thing is clear. The Six Paths are under Master White's tight control. So what if Miao Yi is forced to give up the way out? It's still a question of whether we can leave Inferno Hell alive. "
Mu Fanjun was obviously a little unwilling to give up. "We're defending ourselves from danger. Even the traitorous Heavenly Court can't do anything to us. Why should we be afraid of a mere Master White who only exists in name?!"
Zhangsun Ju said, "It's not that the traitorous Heavenly Court can't do anything to us. Do you really think we can defend Inferno Hell with just the few of us? If no one helped us, the Six Paths would have long since ceased to exist! Defending ourselves from danger is even more of a joke. Miao Yi can come and go as he pleases in Inferno Hell. Don't you understand? Someone knows Inferno Hell better than we do! "
"Heh …" Mu Fanjun laughed coldly. She held the teacup in front of her and admired it. She muttered to herself, "Pawns. Pawns. Pawns that can't leave the chessboard …"
Zhangsun Ju stood up and sighed, "Sacred Lord. "Holy Lord, there's no need to think too much about some things. There's no harm in thinking on the bright side. It's not hard to understand what Master White wants. Since there's a common interest, why not? I'm not afraid of Master White's strength. I'm just afraid that he's not strong enough. The stronger he is, the greater our chances of success. Otherwise, what can we do even if we run away? At most, we can create some chaos for the traitorous Heavenly Court. We won't be able to cause too much of an impact. Working with Master White will bring us more benefits than harm. Moreover, we can preserve the opportunity to strengthen ourselves in Inferno Hell. So … there are some things that are not necessarily necessary. If Holy Lord has no other instructions, I will take my leave! "Seeing that Mu Fanjun didn't respond, he cupped his fists and left.
"Hmph …" Mu Fanjun sneered again. She slowly closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Pawns …"
Zhangsun Ju, who had just left the palace, turned his head to look at the palace gate. As he strode forward, he muttered to himself, "This tomboy was obviously sent by Lord White. Is she trying to test my reaction?"
The next day, Miao Yi left the Inferno Hell alone.
After spending so many years in the Greater Realm, he had never been as confident as he was now. The reason for that was none other than the fact that he had over sixty Infinite Transcendence Energy cultivators with him. No matter who he ran into, he could fight them head-on.
However, just a few days after he left the Inferno Hell, he received a message from Kou Zheng while he was in space. Kou Zheng said that he would personally make a trip to the Phantom City's headquarters. He had something to discuss with Miao Yi.
Miao Yi asked him what it was, but Kou Zheng said he would tell him when they met. Miao Yi was speechless. He didn't know what was so important that Kou Zheng would personally make a trip.
Once he was far away from the Inferno Hell, Miao Yi stopped at a remote and desolate planet and released the sixty Infinite Transcendence Energy cultivators.
They looked at their surroundings. Almost at the same time, they took out their star charts and compared their current positions. Soon, their expressions became excited.
"We're finally out! Hahahaha …" Dan Qing spread her arms wide and laughed maniacally.
Miao Yi waited for them to vent their excitement, then smiled and said, "Everyone, forgive me for not seeing you off. Everyone will be going their separate ways soon. Take care on your journey. I'll take my leave first."
Everyone snapped out of their daze and cupped their fists in unison. "Take care, Sage Ruler!"
Miao Yi nodded slightly, then flew into space and continued on his way.
By the time he arrived at the Phantom City's headquarters, Kou Zheng had already arrived a few days before him. Miao Yi didn't have time to talk to the others, so he went straight to Kou Zheng's temporary residence. He cupped his fists and apologized, "Big Brother Kou, please forgive me. I'm late."
Kou Zheng looked at Yun Zhiqiu, who came in with him, and frowned. "Where did you go? Even Seventh Sister doesn't know where you went."
Miao Yi laughed dryly. "I went to the various black markets."
Kou Zheng's frown deepened. He gestured for the couple to sit down, then sat down himself. Then, he said, "Brother-in-law, it's not that I want to scold you, but I'm afraid you should try not to leave the headquarters as much as possible from now on. This is also why I'm here."
Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu exchanged glances. They didn't know what he meant. Yun Zhiqiu asked cautiously, "Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Kou Zheng sighed. "Initially, the Kou Clan and the Xiahou Clan made a deal. They will guarantee your safety in the Phantom City, and we will push for the Heavenly Empress to have an heir in the imperial court. However, something unexpected happened. Unexpectedly, His Majesty relented so quickly. During the imperial court a few days ago, His Majesty agreed to let the Heavenly Empress have an heir as soon as possible. As a result, if the Heavenly Empress really becomes pregnant, the Kou Clan will no longer be of any use to us. Brother-in-law, you've offended too many people. You know the consequences! "
As soon as he said this, a great sense of danger washed over them. The couple's hearts sank. Even though no one would dare to touch the son-in-law of the Kou Clan, if someone were to play dirty in the dark, and Miao Yi had offended so many people, it would be very difficult to determine who was the culprit.
From another perspective, Yun Zhiqiu's acknowledgment of the Kou Clan's Heavenly King as his adoptive father had brought Miao Yi even greater danger. If Miao Yi still had no background like before, the Kou Clan wouldn't have to go to such great lengths to deal with him. However, things were different now. The backlash from the Kou Clan's protection was also considerable. Whatever level of influence he came into contact with, he would naturally attract the same level of attention.
All they could say was that they never expected Lord Qing to toss Miao Yi into the phantom market. If he had gone to the Kou Clan's Northern Army, he would have been heavily guarded, and anyone would have to be wary of him. And this time, they never expected Lord Qing to relent so quickly and allow the Heavenly Empress to bear an heir.
Kou Zheng's tone changed. "You don't have to worry too much. The phantom market is the Xiahou Clan's territory, after all. It's reasonable for the Pavilion of Faith to maintain order there. Furthermore, the Main Garrison Manor is nominally the Heavenly Court's protector. The Pavilion of Faith will not allow anyone to cause trouble, and those with ulterior motives will not easily let the Pavilion of Faith get hold of their weakness either. However, try not to go out so easily. If you really must go out, contact the Kou Clan first, and they will send experts to escort you. "
Miao Yi was sick of the idea. Didn't that mean he would be targeted by the Kou Clan as soon as he went out?
Yun Zhiqiu's eyes flickered, and she smiled. "Big Brother can just send a message for something like this. I wouldn't dare to trouble Big Brother to come here personally."
Kou Zheng looked at her and smiled. "It's Father's will. Just in case, Father has asked me to personally escort you back to the Heavenly Monarch's manor to stay for the time being. Don't risk your life here with the two of you. Every bit of risk you can avoid is better."
The husband and wife were taken aback. They looked at each other speechlessly. It was Kou Lingxu's will, and Kou Zheng had even come all the way here to pick them up. It was really hard to refuse.
Yun Zhiqiu could only smile and ask Miao Yi, "What does Husband think?"
Miao Yi was silent for a moment. "Big Brother is right. Why don't you return to the Heavenly Monarch's manor first?"
Yun Zhiqiu smiled and nodded. "Then I'll do as Husband says."
The two of them then bade farewell, saying that they needed to pack up and make some preparations. Kou Lingxu told them to hurry.
After the two of them returned to their rooms, Yun Zhiqiu closed the door and turned to ask, "Isn't it a little too grand for Kou Zheng to come all the way here to pick me up?"
