"Yes!"
"Remember, surround Qin Weiwei but don't kill her. Otherwise, a dead person won't be able to lure reinforcements to their deaths. Her troops will be killed without mercy! Once Yang Qing breaks in, Qin Weiwei will no longer be of any use to us. If you can capture her, then capture her. If you can't, then immediately kill her. Afterwards, you will join forces with me and the other divisions to attack Yang Qing. After Yang Qing is killed, we will immediately join forces and directly attack South Edict. Along the way, we will cut off all of Yang Qing's reinforcements. We must completely pacify South Edict in one battle! "
"Yes!" The Mountain Chieftains acknowledged the order, and each turned around to lead their troops to make preparations.
Not long after the few Mountain Chieftains here left with their men, the other Mountain Chieftains of Ever Peace Manor had already rushed over with their men. They gathered by Zhang Decheng's side, awaiting orders.
The war was imminent …
On the other side, Yang Qing, who was hurrying along, could be said to be burning with anxiety. However, Qin Weiwei was still filled with rage as she chased after Yuan Zhengkun and the others. She had already barged into the territory of Emerald Forest Cave.
"Bastard, don't run!"
Qin Weiwei, who had gradually caught up to the fleeing enemy, let out an angry roar. She held her longbow in her hand and nocked three silver arrows on the bowstring.
Imbued with transcendence energy, the silver arrows shot out with a whizzing sound. A White Lotus Third Grade cultivator in front swiftly twisted his body to deflect an arrow with his spear. However, when faced with the attack of a White Lotus Sixth Grade cultivator, he deflected an arrow, but the jolt almost caused the spear in his hand to fall out of his hand.
Qin Weiwei, on the other hand, executed an exquisite series of rapid shots. She managed to block one of the arrows, but failed to block the other two. Soon after, one of the two arrows pierced through her waist, while the other pierced through her skull. With a blood-curdling screech, she fell off her mount and lost her life.
Qin Weiwei seemed to be able to tell that Yuan Zhengkun was the leader of this group of people. Another five arrows flashed out from her storage ring and appeared in her hand. Aiming at Yuan Zhengkun, the five arrows shot out in rapid succession.
With a 'sou sou' sound, Yuan Zhengkun hastily twisted his body and swung his halberd wildly. With a 'dang dang' sound, he parried three arrows, but one of them still hit his shoulder. Fortunately, Li Xin, who was at the side, blocked the last arrow in time. Otherwise, this arrow would have hit his chest.
Yuan Zhengkun didn't expect Qin Weiwei's archery to be so formidable. He was almost scared out of his wits.
But right at this moment, a large group of dragon steeds and flying mounts suddenly leapt out from the forest on both sides. More than two hundred cultivators swiftly surrounded Qin Weiwei and her men.
Qin Weiwei and the others quickly came to an emergency stop. They hurriedly stood back to back and formed a circle, assuming a defensive formation. However, they all seemed a little flustered.
Yuan Zhengkun, who had barged into the midst of his reinforcements, heaved a sigh of relief. Raising his hand, he plucked out the arrow stuck in his shoulder and tossed it aside. Quickly turning around, he pointed the Square Sky Halberd in his hand at Qin Weiwei, laughing malevolently. "Slut! Today is the day you die! "
He thought of all the things that had happened. Combined with the situation before her, Qin Weiwei's expression changed drastically in an instant. She would be a fool if she still did not know that she had fallen into a trap.
Only then did she realize how stupid she was!
Halfway up the mountain, Duan Jirui and Luo Wuqing, who were riding their dragon steeds side by side, waved their hands and gave the order at the same time. Without any unnecessary words, they only gave a single word, "Kill!"
Over two hundred cultivators immediately rode on their dragon steeds and surrounded them. Biting her lips, Qin Weiwei brandished her Serpent Spear and shouted, "Gather together. Maintain the formation and follow me to break out of the encirclement! "
Everyone quickly turned back the way they came. Qin Weiwei took the lead, leading the group in a desperate charge, intending to break out of the encirclement and kill their way out!
In an instant, rumbling sounds rang out. The sorrowful cries of dragon steeds and the screams of humans mixed together.
Some were beheaded on the spot, while some dragon steeds were directly cleaved in half at the waist. The battle immediately reached its climax, with fresh blood spraying everywhere. Severed limbs flew in all directions.
The forces of the two mountains had joined forces, and among them, there were actually ten Cave Masters. They didn't care about anything else, and only focused on Qin Weiwei. They forced Qin Weiwei to the point where she couldn't even take a single step. Breaking out of the encirclement was simply wishful thinking.
Even though Qin Weiwei was a Mountain Chieftain, her cultivation hadn't reached the level of a Mountain Chieftain. She was only at White Lotus Sixth Grade, which was equivalent to a Cave Master's cultivation. It was purely because of her relationship with her father, Yang Qing. Half of the ten Cave Masters who had trapped her had cultivations higher than hers.
How was she supposed to fight this battle? Qin Weiwei instantly sank into a situation where she could only grit her teeth and resist...
Two silhouettes swept across the boundless sea, and landed outside the mountain range of East Arrival Cave. The two bar maces were kept into Yao Ruoxian's storage ring with a wave of his hand.
Charcoal was jumping around happily? Stretching its four limbs, its snake tail swaying in a circle. It seemed like it also knew that it was almost home.
Miao Yi stretched out his arms, and looked around happily, "I've finally returned to my own territory."
Yao Ruoxian scoffed, "A Cave Master privately brought a group of subordinates to the Sea of Constellations to risk their lives. They were gone for almost a year, and even caused a complete wipeout. I don't believe that the higher-ups would allow you to behave so atrociously. Who knows, maybe the position of whatever Cave Master has already been changed. I advise you to come with me."
Miao Yi immediately smiled bitterly, "Senior Yao, you can't go back on your word. We've already agreed. If the position of Cave Master has really been changed, I will go to the Manor Head to cancel my name, and leave this circle to follow you. If it's still mine, you have to keep your promise!"
He had spent quite a long time, and exhausted his tongue, before he managed to lure Yao Ruoxian over. It was just as he had said, the scent of a bet was very strong.
Yes! I'll go with Yao Ruoxian, no! Yao Ruoxian would join East Arrival Cave for ten years, and slowly cultivate his relationship with the tiny mantids in East Arrival Cave.
The reason why Yao Ruoxian agreed was because Miao Yi had another reason.
Miao Yi said that Lao Bai knew that he was the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, and might come to East Arrival Cave to look for him. If Lao Bai came, he would naturally be able to find out why he couldn't lure the Hell Mantis out from the Boundless Secular World. At that time, he might not even have to wait ten years. This made Yao Ruoxian a little hesitant.
When Miao Yi repeatedly failed to fulfill his promise, Yao Ruoxian actually didn't kill him. Even though it was mainly because of the tiny mantids, perhaps only Yao Ruoxian himself knew if there were any other factors involved.
Yet Miao Yi still thought in his heart, 'I'm good with words. I barely managed to keep my life with my silver tongue.'
The reason why the two of them didn't fly straight to East Arrival Cave was also very simple. Yao Ruoxian didn't want his identity to be exposed.
"Let's go!" Miao Yi jumped onto Charcoal's back, and beckoned Yao Ruoxian over.
Yao Ruoxian slapped the fat thief's butt, and also jumped onto Miao Yi's back to sit.
Charcoal's four hooves galloped. He was all too familiar with the path here, and quickly ran all the way back...
Galloping along the mountain path, Charcoal had just made a turn when his speed suddenly dropped by quite a bit. His eyes also widened quite a bit. Even though he was a beast, he knew what the original East Arrival Cave should be like.
The East Arrival Cave that he could see from afar seemed to have changed.
Sitting on Charcoal's back, Miao Yi's body instantly froze. His pupils abruptly shrank, and he narrowed his eyes as he stared at the East Arrival Cave that seemed to have already turned into ruins. His figure remained motionless.
Sitting behind him, Yao Ruoxian stroked his beard as he looked around, and also noticed the abnormality. After noticing the ruins in the mountain range in the distance, he asked curiously, "Brat, that run-down place is your territory?"
Miao Yi didn't utter a word. His gaze was fixated on that place, and he allowed Charcoal to bring him back as they ran.
When they reached the mountain gates, Charcoal stopped, and occasionally turned his head to look at Miao Yi behind him.
"Why does it feel like this place has been smashed by someone?" Yao Ruoxian clicked his tongue as he jumped down from Charcoal's back.
Miao Yi's gaze coldly swept across the collapsed mountain gates' memorial arch. When he left, this memorial arch was still tall and imposing, but now it had turned into this state.
He slowly lifted his gaze, and swept his gaze across the ruins of East Arrival Cave. In the entire East Arrival Cave, not a single intact building could be found; they had all been destroyed.
His gaze finally settled on the ruins of the East Arrival Grand Hall. The row of handmaidens' corpses hanging from the broken beams made his eyelids suddenly twitch.
Sitting on Charcoal, he abruptly sped up and rushed out, leaving behind Yao Ruoxian who was looking around. He rushed to the bottom of the steps of the collapsed grand hall, and lifted his head to look at the ruins of the building on top of the high platform. The hanging corpses were slightly swaying in the cold wind, and their position was right above the Cave Master's throne that he usually sat on.
The clothes of the handmaidens were disheveled, and some of their exposed skin had palm prints on it. Some of their lower bodies were naked without any cover at all. Blood flowed from the sensitive area between their legs and coagulated at the bottom of their feet. Some of the corpses hanging from the ceiling even had their abdomens sliced open, and their internal organs hung from the outside.
Miao Yi's entire body was trembling slightly, and his face was a little pale. His scalp was a little numb, and his eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. His heart was beating rapidly, and his chest was heaving up and down rapidly. He slowly clenched his fists, and cracked them.
Even if he didn't have any experience with men and women, he could vaguely guess what kind of humiliation these handmaidens had suffered before they died.
Even if he didn't have any experience, he could tell from the color of the bloodstains and the fresh marks of the collapsed building that it seemed to have happened not too long ago.
Yao Ruoxian floated to his side, and looked at the dozen or so corpses swaying in the cold wind. He seemed to feel that it was a little too much, and frowned slightly. "Who did this?"
Miao Yi didn't answer, but his expression turned ashen. Sitting on Charcoal, Charcoal brought him to the ruins of the grand hall, and walked around the broken beams, identifying the faces one by one.
He recognized all of them; they were all handmaidens of East Arrival Cave. However, he didn't see the corpses of Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who he hated to see the most.
But he still roared to the sky, "Who did this!? Get your ass out here! I will kill all eighteen generations of your family's ancestors! "
His voice was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing the surroundings to buzz, and the dust in the ruins to float lightly, as though a thin layer of fog had formed.
Soon, a response came from afar. Miao Yi and Yao Ruoxian, their faces twisted with malevolence, turned to look, and saw a rider leaping out from the mountain forest.
The rider was none other than Yan Xiu, who had been searching for Qian'Er and Xue'Er in the mountain forest. He had rushed back after hearing Miao Yi's voice.
The ash-covered Yan Xiu stared at Miao Yi in a daze. He held his broad axe in one hand, and his other injured arm was stained with blood. He cut a sorry figure, and gradually came to a stop under the ruins.
Tears gradually welled up in Yan Xiu's reddened eyes. The Cave Master was still the Cave Master, and Charcoal was still that chubby Charcoal. Everything proved that the Cave Master had indeed returned. He had really returned, but he had returned at the wrong time …
The cold wind continued to blow, and specks of grey drifted down from the gloomy sky.
Yao Ruoxian lifted his head to look, and reached out to catch the falling object. It was a snowflake melting in his palm.
