At first, he only suspected that the underground treasure was related to the Nameless Gate. After all, the Buddhist style of the underground space was too obvious. Who would have thought that the connection would be so obvious? After circling around for so long, the treasure was buried deep beneath the Nameless Gate ruins.
Miao Yi was now almost certain that the underground space was the Nameless Gate's inheritance.
From this, he could also confirm that the person who hid the treasure had some sort of relationship with the Nameless Gate. Otherwise, why wouldn't they let him take the treasure? The Nameless Gate had been destroyed for so many years, so how could they still have a master? Yet, they had to get the master's permission to take the treasure. The person who hid the treasure clearly respected the Nameless Gate. However, it was hard to understand the relationship between the two. Perhaps only the person himself would know.
Now that he thought back to the words' Nameless Stillness', he realized that there was a deeper meaning to it.
"Who's there?"
A shout rang out, and three silhouettes flew over. It was Hong, Luo, and Yu.
Previously, the three of them had been searching for Miao Yi, but they couldn't find him. Who would have thought that they would run into him again after searching everywhere?
Miao Yi snapped out of his daze. One look at their attire and he knew that they were the people who collected the Dream Dala Nectar. He couldn't figure out their background, and didn't want to get into a conflict with them. Plus, he had already obtained the treasure. Without another word, he shot up into the sky and broke through the sky.
"Stop!"
The three of them shouted. Not only did they chase after him, they also quickly took out their Star Bells to contact their fellow disciples.
Soon, another twenty people appeared from all over the Venomous Star, rushing over and breaking through the sky.
As he sped through the stars, Miao Yi looked back from time to time. He was a little angry. He didn't provoke these people, so why were they chasing after him for no reason?
There was one thing he was sure of. These people's cultivation seemed to be about the same as his, and their speed was almost the same. He had the urge to attack.
However, after some thought, he decided against it. Instead, he flew towards Yan Xiu's hiding place. At the same time, he took out his Star Bells to contact Yan Xiu.
As soon as he entered the mountain range where Yan Xiu was hiding, Miao Yi quickly disappeared within.
Hong, Luo, and Yu chased after him relentlessly. Just as they were about to search where Miao Yi disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared from below. Leaping into the air, he blocked the three people and shouted, "Who are you?" It was Yan Xiu.
The three of them hurriedly hovered in the air, sizing up Yan Xiu. Yan Xiu's appearance was naturally unappealing, but he was actually dressed like a commoner. Senior-apprentice Sister Hong said solemnly, "The two of you, quickly go and search."
Junior Sister Luo and Junior Sister Yu were about to leave in a flash, but Miao Yi had already taken the initiative to appear and shouted, "Who are you?"
Of course, the black cloth wrapped around his body had already been removed, revealing his true appearance.
Yan Xiu revealed a respectful expression as he retreated to Miao Yi's side and replied, "Milord, it looks like we can't avoid this. I'm afraid these people won't stop until they kill us."
Hong, Luo, and Yu looked towards the direction Miao Yi had come from, and heard him address them as' Milord '. Just as he was about to berate Miao Yi angrily, Miao Yi shouted, "Fine! Since I can't shake them off, then I'll just have to fight to the death. The phantom market's Head Mayor, Niu Youde, is here. Who dares to fight me to the death?! "With a wave of his hand, he fished out the Inversed-Scales Spear and pointed it at the trio.
Niu Youde, the Head of the Ghost City? This person was Niu Youde? Hong, Luo, and Yu were momentarily stunned. They couldn't quite process what was going on.
Senior-apprentice Sister Hong was a little taken aback as she asked, "You're the Head Mayor of the Celestial Court's phantom market, Niu Youde?"
Miao Yi pointed his spear at her and sneered, "Why ask when you already know the answer? Didn't you chase me all the way from Planet Huilin just to take my life? Bring it on! "
'What chase me all the way from Planet Huilin?' The trio looked at each other in confusion.
At that moment, more of their fellow disciples rushed over from behind. They helped the trio surround Miao Yi and Yan Xiu in the middle, each with a trident in their hands.
Senior Sister Hong said solemnly, "I don't care who you are. Were you the one who came out of the Venomous Star just now?"
Miao Yi laughed coldly, "What Venomous Star? Stop trying to act mysterious here! Are all of you hiding your heads and tails? Who exactly are you people? "
Senior-apprentice Sister Hong tore off the hood of her black suit. Her hair fell to the side, revealing a beautiful face. "Cang Hong, a disciple of the Jade-Faced Buddha, came to the Venomous Star to gather herbs in accordance with the Buddha's orders. I will ask one more time. Were you the one who came out of the Venomous Star just now?"
The group of senior and junior sisters took off their hoods one after another. After removing their black suits, their true appearances were revealed. Every single one of them was beautiful, especially their attire. It was extremely sexy and revealing. Almost every single one of them revealed half of their snow-white breasts and fair thighs. It was enough to make one's blood boil just by looking at them. Even Miao Yi was taken aback by their attire. This group of people was dressed even better than Zhang Tianxiao.
Miao Yi and Yan Xiu couldn't help but look at each other. They were a little doubtful. Were these women really Buddhists?
"Jade-Faced Buddha? No wonder they're so daring! "Miao Yi scoffed. He took out the Star Bell and immediately contacted Kou Zheng. Ask for help!
Kou Manor. Kou Zheng was cultivating in his silent quarters. When he received Miao Yi's call for help, he was shocked. He immediately rushed out of his silent quarters and barged into the Kou Manor's inner quarters.
Kou Lingxu was also in the midst of cultivating. When Tang Henian, who was blocking Kou Zheng's way outside, heard about this matter, he was also shocked. Without hesitation, he immediately turned around to report the matter.
Kou Lingxu quickly came out of the grand hall. As he walked down the stairs, he asked Kou Zheng, who was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, "What happened?"
Kou Zheng cupped his fists and said, "According to Niu Youde, he traveled to Planet Huilin from the Western Paradise Realm. There, he was lured to a secluded area by a disciple called Bai Liu, who set up a trap to kill him. He almost lost his life. After he fought his way out, he immediately fled Planet Huilin. However, when he reached the Venomous Star, he was once again surrounded by the Jade-Faced Buddha's disciples. They outnumbered him, and he was in a precarious situation. Hence, he urgently asked for help from his family!"
Kou Lingxu turned to Tang Henian and asked, "What do you think?"
Tang Henian furrowed his brows and said, "There seems to be quite a distance between Planet Huilin and the Venomous Star. Why didn't he inform his family when he fled Planet Huilin? Why did he have to wait until now?" He then asked Kou Zheng, "Did Niu Youde not reveal his identity?"
Kou Zheng replied, "He said he did, but the other party refused to give up."
"Hehe! What is Yu Luocha trying to do? Does she think I'm just a decoration? " Kou Lingxu was so angry that he laughed. He immediately took out the Star Bell and contacted Yu Luocha to confirm. Yu Luocha was the Jade-Faced Buddha. He wanted to personally confirm if this was true.
Meanwhile, over at the Western Paradise Realm, Yu Luocha was also shocked when she received Kou Lingxu's message. Why would her subordinates do such a thing? However, she was a little unsure when she heard that Niu Youde was near the Venomous Star. It just so happened that it was her turn to harvest the Dream Dala on the Venomous Star, so she told Kou Lingxu to calm down while she confirmed it herself.
And so, Cang Hong, who had been surrounding Miao Yi, quickly received an inquiry from her master. She asked Kou Lingxu if she had encountered Niu Youde.
'What a quick reaction!' Cang Hong bit her lip as she stared at Miao Yi. Not long after Miao Yi put down the Star Bell, her master had already alerted her. It seemed like this person really was Niu Youde from the Celestial Court. It was good to have connections and a strong background.
She felt a little wronged. After she seriously surrounded Niu Youde, not only did her master reprimand her, he even told her not to act recklessly.
"Senior Sister Cang Hong …" Cang Luo and Cang Yu awkwardly restrained Cang Hong in the middle. Their master had ordered them to restrain Cang Hong. Being involved in the murder of Heavenly King Kou's son-in-law was no small matter. Before the matter was thoroughly investigated and whether Cang Hong had done anything fishy, Cang Hong could forget about having any freedom.
Cang Hong silently gritted her teeth and lowered her head, allowing her two junior sisters to restrain her and tie her up.
However, she felt a little wronged and wanted to cry. She had clearly been acting in the interests of the public, but because she had offended someone with a powerful background, she was humiliated in public.
Of course, mentioning that Niu Youde might have broken into the Venomous Star Pirate's Dream Dala was no small matter either. The people surrounding Miao Yi had no intention of letting him go before the matter was thoroughly investigated.
When Jade Face Buddha received the feedback from his subordinates, he quickly gave Kou Lingxu a reply.
Kou Lingxu simply replied, 'Do as you see fit!'
At the bottom of the stairs, Tang Henian watched as Kou Lingxu put away the Star Bell. He asked, "Master, what's the situation like?"
"Hmph!" Kou Lingxu sneered, "Yu Luocha said that it might be a misunderstanding. Her subordinates suspect that Niu Youde ran into the Venomous Star Pirate's Dream Dala and coincidentally ran into him. What a good excuse. It's obvious that things aren't that simple. Someone set up a trap on Planet Huilin, and Niu Youde didn't even have time to escape. How could he have coincidentally run into her people? How could there be such a coincidence? I wonder who on the Celestial Court's side colluded with the other side to do this! "
Tang Henian and Kou Zheng exchanged glances. These words undoubtedly confirmed that Niu Youde was indeed in danger.
Kou Zheng said, "Looks like this brother-in-law isn't as simple as he seems. If the other side was able to set up a trap, they must have been certain that they could kill him. Who would've thought that brother-in-law would still be able to escape? Father, what should we do now? We can't get there in time. Will something happen to Niu Youde? "
"The Realm of Pure Bliss has actually gotten involved here. Who are they trying to help suppress me? If Yu Luocha is so capable, she can try and do something. I'll make sure that she won't be able to recover for a hundred thousand years! " Kou Lingxu sneered. He cast a sidelong glance at Tang Henian and said in a deep voice, "Pass down my orders. Immediately dispatch troops to take control of all monasteries within the Northern Army's jurisdiction that are related to Yu Luocha. Arrest all monks without exception. Anyone who dares to resist arrest will be executed!"
Tang Henian asked, "Master, what reason should we use to dispatch the troops?"
"Just find a few people who have been involved with the traitors. Tell them that someone accused them of colluding with the traitors!" Kou Lingxu casually said, but it was enough to decide the fate of countless people. This was the power of authority.
Tang Henian nodded and immediately took out the Star Bell to carry out the order.
Kou Lingxu then said, "Boss, gather enough men. You will personally make a trip to the Realm of Pure Bliss. If they are truly determined to bully our Kou family, don't give them any face."
"Understood!" Kou Zheng acknowledged the order and left.
At this moment, Miao Yi and the others had all landed on the ground. The people surrounding them had yet to disperse.
Even though she was tightly bound, Cang Hong was still unwilling to give up. She still secretly ordered her fellow disciples to search the area.
Her fellow disciples came back to report that they didn't find anyone nearby. They didn't know if Miao Yi had run away due to the delay. Even Cang Luo and Cang Yu suspected that it was a coincidence and a misunderstanding.
