It should be noted that the forces of the Four Heavenly Kings and Killing Rakshasa Sect were not the only ones killed this time. Although the forces of the twelve Marshals and thirty-six Celestial Sovereigns were not many and were only here to join in the fun, they still sent their sons and daughters. In the end, they were all killed by Miao Yi.
Even Celestial Sovereign Heavenly Roar's second son died.
Even though Miao Yi didn't know who Celestial Sovereign Heavenly Roar's second son was, judging from the number of people involved, he could roughly guess that he was among them. However, he didn't pull him out and mercilessly killed him as well.
Almost all the sons and daughters of the Celestial Court's higher-ups were killed. Thinking about it, wouldn't it be a good show if such a big event were to happen?
This was really unexpected. Even Yang Qing didn't expect that the Killing Rakshasa Sect's attack on the Ying family would cause the Four Heavenly Kings to join forces.
Things had really gotten out of hand. It wasn't safe to stay here for long. After the preparations were complete, the group quickly left the Quiet Spring.
Phantom City, Tavern. Someone knocked on the door.
Ru Shuang opened the door in surprise. She didn't expect Xu Tangran to come again.
Xu Tangran squeezed in. As soon as the door closed, he immediately hugged her and kissed her. He pulled off her dress and pushed her onto the bed, looking like a monkey in a hurry.
Ru Shuang, who had been pushed onto the bed, pushed him away with both hands. She was finally able to speak. She said in surprise, "Milord, why are you here again?" He usually came every three days. This time, he had come earlier.
Xu Tangran pretended to be angry. "What? Can't I come? "
Ru Shuang hurriedly said, "No, no. I just feel a little strange. Why did Milord come earlier today?"
"Hehe! Chief Commander isn't here, so I took advantage of the opportunity to slack off … "He didn't care about anything else and quickly stripped Ru Shuang naked. Whoosh!
After a long round of passionate lovemaking, Xu Tangran got up. With his back to the person on the bed, he slowly put on his clothes.
Ru Shuang was naked on the bed. She held her chest breathlessly. She wanted to get up but couldn't, until her nose started to bleed. Her face gradually turned blue. Her movements became smaller and smaller. She pointed at Xu Tangran with a trembling arm. "You … You …"
"Sigh. Your cultivation is higher than mine, so for the sake of safety, I have no choice but to do this. " Xu Tangran sighed as he straightened his clothes. He made it seem as if he had never done anything despicable and shameless.
After putting it on, he took out a small jade gourd and poured some clear and fragrant liquid onto the handkerchief. After wetting his lips, he walked to the dressing table and carefully wiped his lips. From the corner of his eyes, he looked at the woman pointing at him on the couch in the mirror. "What a stunner! I can't bear to part with you, but I have no choice. Daren wants you dead by the third watch, so I don't dare to keep you until the fifth watch. I have to take your head back to report. You were originally in this line of work, so this can be considered a worthy death. The tenderness of your last sleep, this Xu can also be considered to be affectionate and righteous, not betraying you. Don't you think so? "
After wiping his lips, he turned around and walked back to the bed. Staring at the naked person, he clicked his tongue and shook his head. He took out a dagger and mercilessly stabbed it into Ru Shuang's heart. He drew the dagger, and with a cold flash, he cut off Ru Shuang's head.
He cleaned up the scene and took the corpse with him. Only then did he quickly leave the tavern and settle the matter.
While he was on his way, Miao Yi received a call from Yang Qing. Although Yang Qing hadn't contacted him before, he could already guess that there was a flaw in the plan, and that the Kou family had made their move.
The reason was simple. Miao Yi had told Yun Zhiqiu in an ambiguous manner. Yun Zhiqiu immediately guessed that something must have happened to the plan, and couldn't help but ask Yang Qing for confirmation. When Yang Qing learned of Miao Yi's instructions to Yun Zhiqiu, he immediately guessed that the Kou family had made their move. This meant that the Kou family had fallen into their trap, and their intentions had most likely angered Miao Yi. And Miao Yi planned to eliminate the Kou family's forces as well, which was why he had said those words to Yun Zhiqiu.
Not interfering with Miao Yi during the battle was a great taboo for a military strategist. He also believed in Miao Yi's adaptability in battle. He knew that Miao Yi was stronger than him in this regard, so he only contacted Miao Yi to confirm the situation after Jin Man received a message from Ao Tie that the matter had been settled.
Inside the elegant loft, Yang Qing stood by the window, not in the mood to admire the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky. He had a worried look on his face as he put away the Starbell and shook his head with a sigh.
"Why is the Grand Deacon sighing?" Jin Man walked up behind him, standing so close that they could smell each other's scent. "Are you worried that the other families will be dragged into this as well?"
"Things have gotten out of hand … It's all my fault!" Yang Qing sighed guiltily.
Through this incident, he had seen the balance between the Four Heavenly Kings, Lord Qing, and the Buddhist Lord. He had to admit that his perspective was limited, and that he didn't have a good grasp of the relationship between the upper echelons of the Celestial Court. At the same time, he had to admit that Miao Yi's swift and decisive approach might not be the best choice. If he hadn't dragged the Killing Rakshasa Sect into this, it wouldn't have dragged on until the other three families showed up. If Miao Yi had decisively eliminated the Ying Family, things wouldn't have gotten out of hand. Instead, it was his overcautious attitude that ruined the situation.
Jin Man didn't think too much about it. She comforted him, "It doesn't matter if it's just one family or four families. Since we're already at the cutting edge, there's no need to be polite. It has nothing to do with the Grand Deacon."
Yang Qing shook his head, then turned around and said, "I've just contacted the Sage King. I'm afraid there will be some changes to the follow-up plan."
Jin Man smiled. "Grand Deacon, please say it. I'm all ears."
After parting ways with the six Great Generals, Miao Yi met up with Yan Xiu, who had rushed over after receiving his notice.
Something unexpected had happened to the plan, so some things had to be changed. It wasn't convenient to send the million-strong army back to Purgatory for the time being, and it wasn't convenient for him to leave the ghost city for too long. He ordered Yan Xiu to quickly bring the million-strong army back to the small world, and temporarily settle them down there.
He had no other choice. He couldn't bring these people along with him, and they couldn't hide them in the storage space for too long. What would he do if he was discovered?
As for how to settle down the small world, Yang Qing would be the one to worry about. Yang Qing would contact Qin Weiwei and tell her what to do. Right now, he had to put all his energy into dealing with the Heavenly Court.
The thirteenth level of the Nether Spring, the Skyless Realm.
It was a world of pure darkness. There wasn't the slightest bit of light in this entire world, forever immersed in pitch-black darkness. It was truly a place where one wouldn't be able to see their own fingers if they stretched out their hands.
However, there were some things that were used to the darkness here, and were used to living in the dark. There was a type of winged person with a human-like body, with sharp fangs and claws. Their bodies were covered in hard scales, and they had bat-like wings on their backs. They moved freely in this world of darkness, and were known as devils.
Most of the time, they would either crouch on the high cliffs facing the wind, or crouch on the open plains with their eyes closed. After folding their wings, they would remain motionless like statues, and when they spread their wings, they would move like the wind. Their entire bodies were pitch-black, and they were one with this world. That was why they hated light. Once they saw fire, they would immediately rush over and attack in a frenzy.
Unfortunately, they also had the advantage of being a bat. They could move freely in the dark, and weren't afraid of crashing into mountain walls.
"Extinguish the fire!"
A pile of raging flames attracted a large group of devils to attack, and the ones who took the opportunity to hunt down were the Xiahou Family's men. Xiahou Zhengyang, who was protected in the middle, suddenly shouted.
The flames were instantly extinguished, but there were still devils charging over in the surroundings. The Xiahou Family's men could only rely on their magic power to investigate and counterattack.
Xiahou Zhengyang, who was holding the Star Bell in his hand, had a grave expression. Xiahou Family had naturally also sent scouts to pay attention to the other families. He received news from the scouts that the three families had set up camp and weren't moving. He also received news from the scouts that the Ying Family and Killing Luo Sect had been attacked. He also received news from the scouts that the other three families were rushing over to help.
At the same time, he also sent the news back to the Xiahou Family. However, the family's reply was very simple. They wanted him to act as if nothing had happened, to continue paying attention, not to interfere, and to continue doing what he was supposed to do. Hunt!
However, the scouts sent by the Xiahou Family suddenly lost contact. He quickly contacted the people from the other four families, but all of them also lost contact.
After reporting this situation, the family finally had a different reaction. They ordered him to retreat and immediately lead his men to the scene to see what exactly was going on.
After the last devil that came charging over was chopped down, the surrounding world once again fell into endless darkness and peace. It was so quiet that it could make one feel like they were going crazy.
After counting the people and gathering, they quickly soared into the sky in the darkness. Suddenly, a few flames lit up the sky, causing the devils who saw the flames to rush into the sky like a tide. However, the people who took the opportunity to see the spinning spring in the sky had already disappeared into it.
After passing through layer after layer of the spring, they finally arrived at the fifth layer of the Nether Spring. According to the scouts' information, they finally found the scene of the battle. There were bloodstains everywhere, but there wasn't a single complete person, nor were there any corpses. There were only the messy traces left behind by the battle in this steel jungle.
The bamboo pillars in this area were full of holes and holes. Standing in front of a bamboo pillar that was really bent, Xiahou Zhengyang looked around.
"Most of them are marks left behind by Spell Breaker Bows. Either a batch of Spell Breaker Bows repeatedly attacked, or many Spell Breaker Bows attacked at the same time." An old man standing beside him pointed at their surroundings and explained. Then, he pointed at the curved bamboo shoot before them. "The offensive power of a grade 7 Magic Breaker Bow!"
Very quickly, a subordinate came to report, "Young Master Yang, we didn't find anyone alive. We didn't even find a corpse. At most, we only found some broken pieces of flesh. The scene must have been cleaned up. The people from the four families are gone."
Xiahou Zhengyang once again looked around with a grave expression. He did not know why the battle had suddenly disappeared, and even the eyes and ears of the Xiahou Family had disappeared. Not even a corpse could be found; just what had happened?
He quickly took out the Star Bell and contacted his family.
The old man next to him ordered again, "Send people out and see if you can find any witnesses."
"Yes!" The subordinate received the order and left. Then, the Xiahou Family's people flew around to search.
Within the forbidden garden of Xiahou Tianweng's residence, Xiahou Ta, who was standing under a towering tree with his hands behind his back, was shocked when he received the news. He quickly turned around and asked, "They all disappeared? You can't even find a corpse? What happened? "
