As soon as Kou Zheng arrived, he saw Mei Ji and Miao Yi facing off against each other. It felt like a fight could break out at any moment. He didn't know why the two of them were so tense.
Regardless, he was more or less relieved to see Miao Yi safe and sound. Kou Zheng tilted his head slightly and replied, "Mm." Next to him, a red-armored general waved his hand. Aside from a dozen red-armored generals who stayed by Kou Zheng's side, the rest of the hundred-thousand-strong army rushed down and formed a formation, surrounding everyone present.
Although there weren't many Mage Breaker Bows, they were still brought out. One by one, they drew their bows and aimed at the people who were surrounded.
Lan Ye and Mei Ji grimaced as they looked around.
Among the hundred-thousand-strong army, there was an old acquaintance of Miao Yi. Madam Biyue's husband, Tian Yuan, was also among them. Although he was still wearing purple armor, he had come as a retainer of the heavenly king's residence.
Seeing Miao Yi, Tian Yuan secretly shook his head. He had to hand it to Miao Yi. No matter where he went, he could still cause trouble even after coming to the Western Paradise.
But then again, Tian Yuan couldn't help but sigh at fate. When he was Marquis Tian Yuan, he had to be careful and tread on thin ice. In the end, he ended up like this. On the other hand, Niu Youde was doing better than him. Although he was stronger than Miao Yi, their positions had swapped. Miao Yi was now the son-in-law of the heavenly king's residence, while he was only a retainer. In the future, he would have to bow to Miao Yi instead.
After setting up the encirclement, Kou Zheng led his men into the formation.
"Big Brother Kou." Miao Yi cupped his fists in greeting.
Ignoring Lan Ye and Mei Ji, Kou Zheng nodded to Miao Yi and asked, "Are you alright?"
Miao Yi smiled. "I can't say for sure yet. I'll have to ask Bodhisattva Mei Ji for her opinion."
"Oh!" Kou Zheng placed his hands behind his back and looked at Mei Ji coldly. "Is there anyone who dares to commit murder in public? I'd like to see who has the guts to do so! "
At this moment, the aura of a rich young master was on full display. He looked at the Star Sovereign Bodhisattva Mei Ji with disdain.
In reality, that was indeed the case. He didn't put on airs, but if he did, even a Marshal would have to be polite to him. How could he care about a Star Venerate?
His attitude made Mei Ji feel a little uncomfortable. After all, there were still many disciples around. How could she endure this? She said in a low voice, "Kou Zheng. What do you mean? "
Just like Mei Ji did to Miao Yi, Kou Zheng walked towards her step by step with his hands behind his back. The arrogance on his face was unmistakable, and he only stopped when his chest was almost pressed against Mei Ji's perky breasts. He moved his face closer to Mei Ji's. "Nothing much! If you have any intentions, this Kou will accompany you anytime! "
Mei Ji's disciples were enraged. Just as a group of people moved, a row of red-armored generals moved to Kou Zheng's left and right. A bunch of magic breaking bows quickly aimed at Kou Zheng's side.
Miao Yi watched as Mei Ji clenched and unclenched her fists, and was secretly amused. In terms of individual strength, Kou Zheng was definitely no match for Mei Ji. Unfortunately, the experts that Kou Zheng brought with him were not to be trifled with.
Mei Ji waved her hand to stop her disciples from being impulsive. She twisted her body and avoided Kou Zheng. A bright smile appeared on her face. "Kou Zheng, your temper has grown! You've come to the Western Paradise to behave atrociously. "
Kou Zheng sneered. "I have no choice. The knife is already on my Kou Clan's neck. If I don't have a temper, I'm afraid I won't even know when the Kou Clan members will be wiped out."
Mei Ji sneered. "I'm not going to bicker with you. Let's get down to business. Niu Youde is suspected of stealing the Dream Dala. You know the rules of the Western Paradise."
Kou Zheng turned to Miao Yi and asked, "You stole the Dream Dala?"
Miao Yi replied, "I don't even know what the Dream Dala looks like. Besides, the Poison Star isn't the only place with Dream Dala. If I really wanted it, why would I need to come here? There's nothing the Phantom City doesn't have. As the head of the Phantom City, do you think I can't get my hands on the Dream Dala? Are there really people who are naive enough to think that the Dream Dala is really being controlled to the point where not even a drop of water can leak out? At most, it's a little more expensive. Why would I take the risk to come here and collect the Dream Dala? "
Kou Zheng nodded inwardly. To be honest, he was a little suspicious before. He felt that the Killing Rakshasa Sect wouldn't do something without a reason. But after hearing Miao Yi's words, it was indeed unnecessary. He turned to Mei Ji and said, "It's best not to speak carelessly without evidence."
Mei Ji also fell silent. She originally thought that Miao Yi wouldn't be in the mood to collect the Dream Dala from the Poison Star Pirates when he was being hunted. Now that she heard Miao Yi's words, she felt that it was the truth. However, she naturally couldn't just admit to it. She pouted at Miao Yi and said, "It's easy to prove my innocence. Just search him and you'll know."
Kou Zheng said, "Search? It's not that it's impossible, but if we can't find anything, someone will have to give us an explanation. The Kou Clan isn't a place that just anyone can frame. "
It wasn't easy to make such a promise. Mei Ji smiled at him …
In the end, the Killing Rakshasa Sect didn't search Miao Yi, and Kou Zheng also tacitly admitted that the Killing Rakshasa Sect didn't participate in the assassination of Miao Yi. This was the best outcome. Unless they had no other choice, Kou Lingxu and Jade Faced Buddha didn't want to cause a commotion between themselves.
"This is a witness. Why did you kill him?" Standing in front of Yun Ming's corpse, Kou Zheng transmitted his voice to Miao Yi, blaming him.
Miao Yi replied, "I promised him in front of everyone. As long as he confesses the truth, I will grant him a quick death. How can I go back on my word? Also, so what if he's a witness? I'm afraid it won't change anything in the end. "
Kou Zheng furrowed his brows, but didn't say anything else.
The rest of the matter was simple. As for Miao Cun, Kou Zheng wouldn't let him go. He wanted to bring him back to the Heavenly Court. For the sake of fairness, the Pure Realm had to send someone as well. The Blue Night Bodhisattva would personally accompany them.
Kou Zheng came and left in a hurry, bringing Miao Yi back with him. As for the matter of tracking down that Arhat Duo Li, the Buddha Realm wouldn't let the Heavenly Court do it for them.
Actually, everyone already knew what was going on. They all knew that the Ying Clan was behind this, but no one had any evidence to prove it. Without solid evidence, the Ying Clan wouldn't admit to interfering with the Pure Realm, and the Ying Clan wouldn't leave behind any evidence either.
However, to the Kou Clan, there were some things that didn't require evidence. As long as it was confirmed, it would depend on what kind of explanation the Ying Clan would give the Kou Clan in secret. Otherwise, if they could do what they did, others would do the same.
Miao Yi couldn't help but feel that it was a pity. If this incident hadn't happened, he would have had the chance to visit the spiritual mountain. Now, he could only send Lay Practitioner Pu Lan a message to apologize.
As she watched the group leave, Mei Ji scoffed. She then turned around, and her gaze inadvertently fell on Cang Hong, who was still tied up. She waved her hand and said, "Let her go."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Cang Hong was freed, she immediately knelt before Mei Ji and said loudly, "Bodhisattva, your disciple is certain that the person who trespassed on the Poison Star was Niu Youde."
Mei Ji frowned as she looked at her. She didn't know if this disciple was really stupid or just pretending to be. 'I'm not going to pursue your responsibility anymore, so why are you still holding on to it? Even if she could confirm that Niu Youde had stolen the Dream Dala, so what? With the Kou Clan's background, she couldn't possibly sentence him to death like a normal person. At most, he would be demoted by two ranks. He would be able to climb back up again, and he would still be able to rise faster than the average person. And offending the Kou Clan wouldn't do them any good at all. There were so many temples and so many disciples in their territory. They had plenty of ways to make things difficult for them. Was it worth it to pay such a huge price just to demote Niu Youde by two ranks?
"Did you see him steal the Dream Dala with your own eyes?" Mei Ji's tone darkened. This was already a warning. She couldn't say in front of everyone that Niu Youde had a background, and they couldn't afford to offend him.
"No!" Cang Hong lowered her head.
"Alright. This matter is over." Mei Ji waved her hand and turned around, walking towards the bed of the fragrant concubine.
Cang Hong abruptly raised her head and suddenly shouted, "Even if he didn't steal the Dream Dala, your disciple still thinks that there's something fishy about this. If he didn't steal the Dream Dala, then why would he trespass on the Poison Star? Bodhisattva, don't you think there's something fishy about this? "
She was truly hurt by Miao Yi's disdainful gaze. But the truth was just as Miao Yi's disdainful gaze said. In the end, Miao Yi was completely fine, and she was the one who was humiliated and tied up in front of everyone. She clearly wasn't in the wrong. She was clearly just being impartial. Why did things turn out like this? Was it because he had a powerful background that he could do whatever he wanted? She couldn't accept it. She didn't believe that she couldn't topple Miao Yi!
Sometimes, even a small fry could have a huge impact, especially those who were unwilling to compromise.
Cang Luo and Cang Yu were secretly worried for Cang Hong. They realized that Senior Sister Hong's stubborn temper was unrepentant. Did she really have to injure herself all over?
Mei Ji's footsteps abruptly stopped. Her words had indeed struck a chord in her heart. She slowly turned around and looked at the little disciple kneeling on the ground. She stared at her for a long while …
Not long after, Cang Hong was fortunate enough to accompany Mei Ji to the Poison Star after donning the Black Silkworm Spider Silk Robe once more. Mei Ji also donned the same black suit.
The two of them hovered in the air above the ruins of the Nameless Gate. Cang Hong pointed at the cleaned up ruins below and said, "Bodhisattva, look. This is the ruins of the Nameless Gate. Why did he spend so much effort to clean up the ruins? No matter how I think about it, I still feel that something is amiss. "
It wasn't like Mei Ji had never been here before. She naturally knew what it looked like when it was covered in dust. What's more, the newly cleaned up traces were so obvious.
She furrowed her brows, her eyes filled with confusion. She couldn't understand why Miao Yi would clean up this place. Was he here to commemorate the fallen Nameless Gate? That was too ridiculous! Was he a direct disciple of the Nameless Gate? Was that even possible?
"Are you sure that Niu Youde cleaned up this place?" Mei Ji asked doubtfully.
"Even though he was covered with a black cloth at the time, I am still very confident that it was him." Even though Cang Hong couldn't be sure that Miao Yi was the culprit, because she didn't see who cleaned up the place, she still threw caution to the wind.
"Oh!" Mei Ji turned her head and stared at the ruins below, but she couldn't figure out what was going on. She still couldn't understand why Miao Yi would do such a thing. After a while, she suddenly chuckled and said, "It looks like there really is something strange going on. This Niu Youde is quite interesting … Cang Hong!"
"I'm here," Cang Hong replied.
"You're quite interesting as well, little girl." Mei Ji turned her head and looked her up and down. She smiled and said, "Come over to my side. If you have no objections, I will let your master know later."
