It wasn't that Miao Yi was overly protective of his own people. Back then, when he caused Wang Zifa and the others to perish in the Sea of Constellations, he didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. That was because those bastards didn't have any good intentions in the first place. If he hadn't used some methods to forcefully control them, and then tempted them with benefits, they wouldn't have listened to his commands at all. They would definitely end up like Song Fu.
However, these maids were innocent. If Yuan Zhengkun only killed them, then that was their misfortune.
But Yuan Zhengkun shouldn't have insulted them when they were alive, and then hung them here after they were dead.
This act was utterly devoid of conscience and could not be tolerated by the heavens and earth! Only a beast would do such a thing! This was an insult to East Arrival Cave, and even more so to him, the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave. He, Miao Yi, had never been so angry before. He swore to avenge this grudge!
Perhaps the heavens truly had a spirit. As soon as he said this, a gust of cold wind blew past. The dozen corpses swayed together, as though they had heard Miao Yi's vow and were waiting to see what would happen!
Miao Yi swept his gaze across the faces of the corpses above him. He abruptly turned around and spread his arms wide.
Clumps of silver mist burst out of the storage ring and surged towards him. An extraordinary and domineering silver armor instantly covered his body, and the Inversed-Scales Spear appeared in his hand.
Beneath him, Charcoal let out two rumbling sounds. His body was also covered in a set of ferocious battle armor, like a monster that had come from the ancient times.
Yan Xiu instantly forgot his sorrow, and stared at Miao Yi with widened eyes. He was a little dumbfounded. 'A body full of transcendent artifacts, even Charcoal has one?' This …
With a flick of the Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand, the roar of a dragon reverberated throughout the ruins. He turned his steed around, and swept his gaze across the dozens of unsightly corpses hanging on the ground. He bellowed, "Not everyone from East Arrival Cave is dead yet! Yan Xiu! Follow this Cave Master to battle … and kill! "
Charcoal's monstrous hooves trampled on the ruins, carrying Miao Yi as he charged forward. The obstacles that had yet to completely collapse in front of him were smashed into and sent flying. His momentum was unstoppable, and his aura was astonishing!
Yan Xiu shuddered and replied loudly, "Yes!"
He quickly flew up and landed on his own mount. His dragon steed also leapt onto the ruins. Carrying him, it quickly chased after Miao Yi.
The rumbling hooves of the two dragon steeds gradually faded into the distance.
Standing where he was, Yao Ruoxian looked around and scratched his head. 'Isn't it a little boring to be here alone?'
In particular, there were more than a dozen unsightly female corpses hanging above. From time to time, she would turn around and stare at him with her long tongue out and eyes wide open, making him feel uncomfortable.
"Damn it. Did I take the wrong medicine? How did I end up being dragged here by that brat to watch over his house …?" Yao Ruoxian muttered as he tugged at his beard. He looked as though he couldn't understand what was going on...
Within the Emerald Forest Cave. In the Bloody Battlefield.
Trapped in a tight encirclement, Qin Weiwei's newly refined helmet with folded wings had already been sent flying. Her jet-black hair was a mess on her shoulders, and her face was deathly pale. Her mount had been beheaded, and her white dress was dyed red. Blood hung from the corner of her mouth, and she was heavily injured. Limping, she brandished the Serpent Lance in her hand in a circle to defend herself. She was already an arrow at the end of its flight, and she could only grit her teeth and hold on.
Out of the ten Cave Masters surrounding her, two had been killed by her. However, she was already powerless against the remaining eight. Each of the eight Cave Masters had a mocking expression on their faces as they circled around Qin Weiwei. From time to time, they would interfere with her. They obviously could have killed her, but they didn't, like a cat toying with a mouse.
She didn't know if Transient Light Cave was a place where traitors were born. Once the battle began, the Transient Light Cave Master under Qin Weiwei's command saw that the situation wasn't good, and immediately shouted for surrender.
However, the enemy couldn't be bothered. They directly beheaded the Transient Light Cave Master who had laid down his weapon and surrendered.
And because of this, the remaining people had no choice but to fight with their lives on the line.
However, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. The two Mountain Chieftains with a Blue Lotus First Grade cultivation, Duan Jirui and Luo Wuqing, who were watching the battle from the mountainside, had yet to make a move. The five Cave Masters that Qin Weiwei had brought with her were beheaded one by one. Not a single one of her seventy subordinates survived. Only Qin Weiwei was left alive to be toyed with, as they continued to use her to attract reinforcements.
Duan Jirui and Luo Wuqing also lost close to twenty subordinates.
As soon as Qin Weiwei's subordinates were eliminated, the two Mountain Chieftains watching the battle waved their hands. Apart from the eight Cave Masters surrounding Qin Weiwei, who continued to toy with her, the others immediately withdrew their troops. They hid in the mountain forests to the left and right.
When Gongsun Yu arrived first, he saw Qin Weiwei in such a miserable state. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Without hesitation, he waved his hand and bellowed, "Kill!"
Leading his subordinates, he quickly rushed over from afar.
Seeing this, Qin Weiwei cried out sorrowfully, "Gongsun Yu, retreat quickly! There's an ambush!"
Gongsun Yu was startled, but he still led his men and continued to rush over, hoping to snatch Qin Weiwei away and escape.
The result was as expected. Over a hundred people immediately rushed out from the mountain forests on both sides, once again trapping Gongsun Yu within.
Seeing the results of waiting by a tree stump for a hare to come to him, as the enemy troops fell one by one, the Manor Head of Ever Peace Manor, Zhang Decheng, couldn't help but chuckle.
However, at this moment, Qin Weiwei's subordinates — the Cave Master of Myriad Spirit Cave Wang Hai, the Cave Master of Sun Creed Cave Li Youqian, and the Cave Master of Coiling Cloud Cave Zhang Yuniang — had already arrived with their forces.
Trapped in a dangerous situation, Gongsun Yu cried out in pleasant surprise, "Quickly come and help us break out of the encirclement!"
These three Cave Masters had been by Yang Qing's side for a long time, so it could be said that they were Yang Qing's trusted aides. They were sent to serve under Qin Weiwei so that they could lend Qin Weiwei a helping hand at a critical moment.
Seeing that Qin Weiwei was in danger, the three of them naturally couldn't sit idly by. They immediately joined forces and formed a triangular formation, leading their subordinates like a sharp blade as they charged in.
Duan Jirui raised his hand and waved. The hundred cultivators trapping Qin Weiwei immediately opened up a path, allowing Wang Hai and the others to enter.
Once the three Cave Masters led their men in, the opening was immediately closed again.
Beside them, Luo Wuqing waved his hand and shouted, "Kill!"
Over a hundred people rushed out from the mountain forests on both sides. Once again, the troops of the two mountains joined forces to besiege them. In an instant, the cultivators of Mount Calming Sea were thrown off their feet.
Qin Weiwei was filled with grief and indignation. She knew that Mount Calming Sea was going to be completely wiped out.
Gongsun Yu lived up to his reputation as the number one expert of Mount Calming Sea. Protecting Qin Weiwei, he circled around her, brandishing his spear and attacking furiously, forcing the others to stay away.
Wang Hai, Li Youqian, and Zhang Yuniang quickly rushed over as well. Together with Gongsun Yu, they surrounded Qin Weiwei to protect her.
They were worthy of being Yang Qing's old subordinates. Even at this point, they still wanted to protect Qin Weiwei and force their way out. However, there were simply too many people surrounding them. It was easy to enter, but impossible to leave.
However, this created an opportunity for Qin Weiwei. She managed to find some time to spare, and immediately summoned her bow and arrows from her storage ring. Standing alone in the middle, she quickly pulled the bowstring. Whooshing sounds continuously rang out from her hands as she shot out arrows in rapid succession. She helped her subordinates resolve the danger. Working together from both inside and outside, she actually managed to force the surrounding enemies to stay away from her for a moment.
However, she was already heavily injured, and on top of that, she had expended a large amount of transcendence energy. Every time she injected transcendence energy to release the bowstring, a trickle of blood would seep out from the corner of her mouth. Her figure could be said to be on the verge of collapse. She clenched her teeth and held on with all her might. She reckoned that she could collapse at any moment...
Snowflakes fluttered down, but the snow wasn't heavy.
Miao Yi and Yan Xiu, who had rushed up the slope one after the other, quickly came to a stop. The situation in front of them shocked them.
It didn't take a high level of intelligence to know that the truth was right before their eyes. Both of them could see that Qin Weiwei and the others had fallen into a trap. It wasn't as simple as Yuan Zhengkun leading a small group of men to attack East Arrival Cave. It was obvious that there were forces from two Mountains surrounding them.
"Yan Xiu. Stay here and prepare to provide support. If I don't make it back, immediately leave this place and run for your life!" Miao Yi slowly raised the Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand.
Yan Xiu was shocked. He quickly advised, "Cave Master, the other party has the advantage in numbers. You won't be able to help even if you go. What's more, Qin Weiwei has always been at odds with you. Why should you throw your life away for nothing? Let's go back and look for the Manor Head!"
Miao Yi pursed his lips and shook his head. "Even though I can't wait for that bitch Qin Weiwei to die, Yang Qing has always treated me well. I can't just stand by and watch as his daughter's life is in danger."
"Cave Master …" Yan Xiu was anxious. He still wanted to advise Miao Yi.
But Miao Yi had already waved his hand to stop him. "Even though I, Miao Yi, was born a butcher in the marketplace, I still understand one principle. There are things a man can do and things a man can't. Yang Qing has always treated me well. A gentleman will die for his bosom friend. Today is the day to repay his kindness!"
Not far away, Yao Ruoxian had somehow appeared hiding under a large tree. He seemed to have heard something, as he slowly turned his head to stare at Miao Yi.
"Cave Master!" Yan Xiu called out with difficulty. He could only feel his blood boiling after hearing Miao Yi's words. His chest heaved up and down rapidly as he said excitedly, "Your subordinate is willing to follow Cave Master through fire and water!"
He was going to throw his life away with Miao Yi.
"Yan Xiu! Don't tell me I can't command you? "Miao Yi swept a cold glance at him.
Yan Xiu gritted his teeth and cupped his fists. "Your subordinate obeys!"
The Inversed-Scales Spear in Miao Yi's hand waved and pointed to the front. Charcoal immediately shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
The ferocious armor on Charcoal's body gradually emitted a white radiance, merging with the radiance on Miao Yi's body. Charcoal's speed became faster and faster.
A lone steed rushed over at high speed, causing Duan Jirui and Luo Wuqing, who were commanding the battle from halfway up the mountain, to simultaneously turn their heads to look.
The two of them were a little startled. They thought they were seeing things. Whose steed was that? It was actually wearing a transcendent armor as well.
The appearance of such a luxurious outfit made the two of them initially think that Yang Qing had arrived. Only when they opened their transcendence vision to take a closer look did they realize it wasn't him.
But the aura of this lone steed was truly astonishing, causing the two of them to worry that some expert had suddenly arrived. They didn't dare to rashly intercept him.
Duan Jirui shouted loudly, "Who goes there?"
Many of the cultivators surrounding Qin Weiwei also turned their heads in shock.
"The Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, Miao Yi, is here. Who dares to challenge me!?" Miao Yi angrily replied, his voice echoing throughout the mountain range.
As soon as he said this, many of them heaved a sigh of relief. So this was the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave. They thought it was some expert that had arrived.
But the encircled Mount Calming Sea troops were inexplicably invigorated. It was the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave who had single-handedly killed Fan Renfang and Fang Ziyu. Especially when Miao Yi said 'Miao Yi, is here. Who dares to challenge me', it actually gave everyone a glimmer of hope to break out of the encirclement.
Brandishing his spear, Gongsun Yu immediately shouted in delight, "Cave Master Miao, the Mountain Chieftain is here. Quickly come and help us break out of the encirclement!"
Duan Jirui raised his hand and waved his hand. Twenty men immediately separated from the troops surrounding Qin Weiwei and the others and rushed towards Miao Yi.
He was a little confused about Miao Yi's strength, and wanted to first send someone to test Miao Yi's limits.
