"Not here?" Chen Fei was taken aback. He then asked, "May I know when Brother Miao will return?"
Yan Xiu had no idea when Miao Yi would return. He had been gone for almost a year. He reckoned that the Cave Master had already gone into eternal slumber in the Sea of Constellations, and would most likely never return in this lifetime.
Running off to the Sea of Constellations after eating his fill was akin to courting death. Yan Xiu was rather resentful about this, blaming Miao Yi for being stubborn and not listening to him.
"Friend, if it's convenient, you can leave your contact details. When the Cave Master returns, I will inform him."
Yan Xiu couldn't openly say that Miao Yi had gone to the Sea of Constellations. The meaning behind his words was to tell the other party not to wait any longer, and that he could go back now. He was afraid that the Cave Master wouldn't be back for a while.
Chen Fei replied with an 'Oh', and understood. He swept his gaze across the surroundings of East Arrival Cave, and had no intention of staying any longer. He cupped his fists towards Yan Xiu and said, "Farewell!"
"Take care. Forgive me for not being able to send you off!" Yan Xiu returned the greeting and did not urge him to stay.
Chen Fei nodded slightly, then turned his dragon steed around and quickly left.
She turned around and sped away. Deep down, she heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Miao Yi wasn't around, everything was fine.
He owed Miao Yi a favor, so he didn't want to see anything happen to Miao Yi. The reason he came here this time was to trick Miao Yi into leaving so that he could avoid this crisis. He would consider it as returning the favor.
Who would've thought that Miao Yi would go out for some business and wouldn't be back for the time being. This saved her the trouble of racking her brain to come up with a lie.
As for the others in East Arrival Cave, he didn't have much of a relationship with them, so it was impossible for him to reveal anything.
He, Chen Fei, had been looking forward to the day he would make a comeback for a very long time. He couldn't possibly give up the chance to make a name for himself, and he couldn't not think about himself. The lives and deaths of the others in East Arrival Cave had nothing to do with him.
As the saying goes, good will be rewarded. Sometimes, it was not without reason. Miao Yi and Chen Fei could be considered to have formed a good relationship...
"Have there been any movements from Ever Peace Manor?"
In the pavilion at the top of the mountain, Yang Qing, who was leaning against the railing with his hands behind his back, asked without turning his head when he heard Qing Mei's footsteps approaching.
The cold wind at the peak of the mountain was even stronger than on the plains. Qing Mei draped a robe over his shoulders. It was the robe Yang Qing had taken from Miao Yi back then.
While she was carefully taking care of him, Qing Mei replied softly, "There's no movement at the moment! The School of Blue Jade has also responded. If anything happens, Sect Leader Pan will immediately send that third grade transcendent artifact over to support Mountain Chieftain. "
Yang Qing let out a sigh of relief. Nodding his head slowly, it seemed like the precious gift he had given to He Yunye wasn't in vain.
Ever Peace Manor could be said to have done an excellent job of keeping the news a secret, but Yang Qing of South Edict Manor was no pushover either. Otherwise, some people wouldn't have dared to act rashly.
Even though Yang Qing was just as Feng Zhihuan had said. Bracing himself, he prepared a generous gift for He Yunye, pledging his allegiance to He Yunye. He Yunye accepted it with a smile, even saying that they would be on the same side in the future, and that he would put in a good word for him in front of the Hall Master.
However, Yang Qing, who felt a sense of crisis, did not dare to be careless. Since he was able to get to where he was today, he would not completely entrust his success or failure to the hands of others. It was always good to be prepared.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not use the financial resources of the various mountains under his command. Instead, he forcibly expropriated a huge sum of money from South Edict City, which was directly under his jurisdiction. Then, he squeezed out what little money he had left and forcibly purchased a batch of spirit eagles that were specifically used to send messages. He then sent them down to maintain close contact with the various regions under his command.
Not only that, Ever Peace Manor, which was above South Edict Manor, but even Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor, which did not belong to Suppressing Second Hall, was sent out by Yang Qing to keep an eye on their movements.
The Manor Head of Ever Peace Manor, Zhang Decheng, suddenly summoned the various Mountain Chieftains under his command to assemble. When the news arrived, it immediately alerted Yang Qing, and he quickly ordered the various Mountain Chieftains to prepare for battle.
However, the news that came from Ever Peace Manor afterwards indicated that there was no large-scale mobilization of Ever Peace Manor's troops. The end of the year was approaching, and the time to harvest the Orbs of Will was fast approaching. Having a small number of personnel running about was a very normal thing.
Moreover, as long as Ever Peace Manor had a large-scale mobilization of troops, they would not be able to hide from Yang Qing's eyes. Fighting on their own territory, with the advantage of distance and time, he could quickly assemble his troops before the enemy's troops arrived.
If they dared to invade, he would definitely give them a heavy blow!
Ever Peace Manor's tranquility allowed Yang Qing's taut nerves to relax a little. Perhaps he was overthinking things. If He Yunye had accepted his things and accepted him, he could still deal with him. Then wouldn't his table manners be a little too unsightly?
However, he did not allow the various Mountain Chieftains under his command to relax their vigilance...
Even though there were no movements on the big picture, and no one could see any changes, a small dot on the chessboard had already begun to have undetectable movements.
Emerald Forest Cave, which had gathered more than three Caves' troops, had already set off under the cover of the night to prevent the news from leaking. They didn't take the normal route, and crossed over mountains and ravines along the way, heading straight for East Arrival Cave.
However, coincidentally, ever since Mount Calming Sea's Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei had received the warning from South Edict Manor to prepare for battle, Qin Weiwei, who had been placed in such an important position by her foster father, naturally did not dare to lower her guard. How would she face her foster father in the future?
Qin Weiwei was not worried about other places, but East Arrival Cave made her have no choice but to increase her vigilance.
Because East Arrival Cave was basically empty, and basically had no defensive capabilities. However, she did not have enough men to replenish East Arrival Cave, and Yang Qing had promised to give Miao Yi a chance, so East Arrival Cave was still left for Miao Yi. For the time being, it was not appropriate to arrange for men to occupy his nest.
However, Qin Weiwei had no choice but to be on guard, so she sent out hidden sentries to hide in the vicinity of the two abodes adjacent to East Arrival Cave, and not only Emerald Forest Cave.
As a result, it could be said that an unintentional act had brought great success. After Emerald Forest Cave's troops stealthily ascertained the direction, a spirit eagle descended from the sky and landed on Mount Calming Sea in less than half a day.
After receiving the warning from the hidden sentries, Qin Weiwei, dressed in snow-white robes, slammed the table and stood up. "Not good! Emerald Forest Cave wants to attack East Arrival Cave! "
Beside her, Hong Mian exclaimed in shock, "Cave Master Miao brought almost all of his troops with him. East Arrival Cave is just an empty shell. How can it withstand the attack?"
Qin Weiwei was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly, and angrily said, "He must know that East Arrival Cave is just an empty shell. That's why he dared to attack East Arrival Cave. This is the work of that little thief, Miao Yi! You better not return from the Sea of Constellations alive. When the time comes, even if you have the Manor Head backing you up, I will not forgive you. I will definitely kill you first and report later! "
Lu Liu furrowed her brows and said, "Mountain Chieftain. Now is not the time to be angry with Cave Master Miao. We should report the situation to the Manor Head as soon as possible."
Qin Weiwei took a deep breath and tried her best to calm her emotions. She quickly invoked her arts and wrote a jade archive. After stamping it with her transcendent seal, she handed it over to the two of them.
The two of them quickly carried a spirit eagle out of the cage, and placed the jade archive into the tube at the spirit eagle's feet. They carried it to the window and released it into the sky.
Qin Weiwei was afraid that Emerald Forest Cave would have a backup plan. At this moment, she had to gather the strength of Mount Calming Sea and make all sorts of preparations.
Beside the long table, Qin Weiwei immediately wrote a few jade archives for the mobilization of troops, and stamped each of them with a transcendent seal that could distinguish their authenticity.
One after another, spirit eagles carrying orders quickly flapped their wings and soared into the sky, flying towards the various Caves to deliver the news.
The two young ladies then urgently summoned the troops of the Mount Calming Sea Manor to assemble.
Not long after, Qin Weiwei, dressed in a dress as white as snow, led her troops and rushed towards East Arrival Cave through the night.
The other Mountains' forces wouldn't be able to gather as quickly, but the jade archive Qin Weiwei had sent out had already ordered the forces of each Cave to hurry to East Arrival Cave. Everyone was to gather as they moved. They didn't have the time to sit here and wait for everyone to arrive before setting off...
When the sky brightened, nearly forty men from Emerald Forest Cave rode their dragon steeds over the mountains and ravines. They had already barged into the territory of East Arrival Cave, and were quietly hiding in the mountain forest, waiting for news from their scouts.
It wasn't just Yuan Zhengkun's group, even the people who had come to seek refuge from South Edict Manor were exchanging glances with each other, their eyes filled with unconcealable excitement.
Now that things had progressed to this point, they were secretly marching in the dark to approach East Arrival Cave. The edge of their sabers had already been secretly drawn and was about to be pressed against East Arrival Cave's waist. If one still couldn't guess what Ever Peace Manor's mysterious actions were for, they would be fools.
Ever Peace Manor was going to make a move against South Edict Manor! It was obvious that he wanted to use East Arrival Cave as the first target!
Everyone knew that their chance to make a comeback had come, and they were very excited …
At South Edict Manor, in the pavilion on the mountaintop favored by the Manor Head, Yang Qing was currently sitting cross-legged in meditation, cultivating.
A spirit eagle flew through the air, and landed below the pavilion. A pair of sharp claws grabbed onto the railing, and with a 'gurgle,' announced its arrival.
Qing Ju quickly stepped forward and retrieved the jade archive from the tube at its feet, and presented it to Yang Qing with both hands.
Yang Qing didn't open his eyes. He closed them as he received the jade archive, and imbued his transcendence energy to examine it. His brows were already furrowed.
Soon after, he seemed to have understood something. His eyes suddenly opened, and he abruptly sucked in a breath of cold air. He immediately jumped up, and angrily said, "That girl Weiwei is so muddle-headed!"
"What's wrong?" Qing Ju asked curiously. Qing Mei also walked over, revealing an inquisitive expression.
"Take a look for yourselves!" Yang Qing threw the item to the two of them, while he himself was like an enraged lion, aggressively pacing back and forth in the pavilion.
After Qing Mei and Qing Ju read the contents of the jade archive, they were also shocked. "Nothing will happen to the Young Miss, right?"
Yang Qing's tone was gloomy as he said, "That girl is so muddle-headed. The people of East Arrival Cave have already been taken away by Miao Yi, and they're only there in name. It doesn't matter if they're saved or not. She didn't hurry up and gather her troops at South Edict Manor, and coordinate with me to gather our forces. Instead, she sent her troops to East Arrival Cave. She fell into a trap! "
Qing Mei helped to say, "It's almost time to harvest the Orbs of Will. Harvesting them at this time won't damage their quality. The Young Miss must be worried that the fruits will be taken, so she ran over to stop them."
