Everyone was wondering if they had heard wrongly. In the end, the battle between South Edict Manor and Ever Peace Manor was still an internal affair of Suppressing Second Hall. Anything could be resolved internally, but attacking Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor was a different matter altogether. It was tantamount to provoking Suppressing Third Hall, or perhaps attacking Suppressing Third Hall. One could well imagine the consequences of provoking the Hall Master of Suppressing Third Hall.
Yang Qing's subordinate, Mountain Chieftain Pei Jingxiu, quickly said, "Manor Head, our forces are not fully assembled yet. It is already dangerous to deal with Zhang Decheng's forces. Why do we need to stir up more trouble?"
Yang Qing sneered, "Even if our forces are fully assembled, we won't be able to gain any advantage in a direct confrontation with Zhang Decheng. Even if we win, both sides will suffer."
Qing Mei couldn't help but remind him, "Manor Head, Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor is under Suppressing Third Hall's jurisdiction. If we attack Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor, we will definitely incur the wrath of Suppressing Third Hall. I'm afraid we won't be able to bear the consequences."
Leading his troops, Yang Qing sneered, "The wrath of Suppressing Third Hall? What does it have to do with me? Our Hall Master will bear the consequences. How can a mere Manor Head like me bear such a huge responsibility? "
Everyone was speechless, completely confused by him. They only felt that the Manor Head was too crazy. This wasn't something the usually calm and resourceful Manor Head would do. Was it because his adopted daughter was injured?
The Great Cave Master Miao lowered his head and heard her softly spit out the words' Manor Head '. Miao Yi understood what she meant.
Miao Yi understood what she meant. She wanted to step forward and speak with the Manor Head.
Charcoal immediately sped up and galloped to Yang Qing's side.
Yang Qing turned his head to look, only to see Qin Weiwei weakly saying, "Manor Head, don't let your emotions affect your decisions. Please reconsider!"
"Weiwei, you think too much." Yang Qing shook his head. "I thought this matter would be over if I lowered my head and endured it. After this incident, I finally understand. If you don't show your strength, others will think you're easy to bully. No matter how much you swallow your anger, it won't change. Hmph! Some people think we're pushovers and think we're easy to bully. So if we don't make a name for South Edict Manor in this battle, even if we win, there will still be endless troubles. We have to let some people understand that it's not that easy to defeat me, Yang Qing. Only then will they change their target. Didn't Zhang Decheng want to fight? I'll bring him along and turn the world upside down. Since he's provoked me, Yang Qing, I want to see if he has the ability to return alive! "
Qin Weiwei did not know what was going on behind the scenes and still had some doubts. However, there were too many people at the moment, and Yang Qing did not want to reveal his plan in detail for the time being. He raised his hand to stop her. "There's no need to say anything more. I've made up my mind!"
He immediately gestured to Qing Mei to treat Qin Weiwei's injuries, causing her to shut up. He then turned around and shouted loudly, "Everyone, do not panic. I know what I'm doing. All of you only need to be of one mind and listen to my commands. The more beautiful this battle is, the safer we will be!"
What else could they say? The leaders could only respond loudly, "We're willing to die for you!"
Qing Mei took out a small stalk of Glorious Star immortal herb from her storage ring. As they ran side by side, Qing Mei took Qin Weiwei and helped her heal.
With one less burden, Miao Yi felt much more at ease. Now that Yang Qing and the others were here, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his storage ring to his nose and inhaled wisps of nebula into his lungs, dispelling the transcendence energy defense in his body. He relaxed his body, allowing the medicinal effects to smoothly heal his injuries.
After his injuries were more or less healed, he let Charcoal run with Yang Qing and the others, while he threw an Orb of Will into his mouth. He closed his eyes and silently refined it to recover the transcendence energy he had expended.
The sky gradually darkened, and the party was unhindered by the wind and snow. Yang Qing had already called his former trusted aide, Gongsun Yu, to the side, and transmitted his voice over to inquire about what had happened.
Gongsun Yu was his trusted aide, and he wasn't the only one who had witnessed it. Naturally, he didn't hide anything and told him everything that had happened.
Once he found out that the situation was as he had predicted, and that Qin Weiwei had indeed fallen into an ambush, Yang Qing once again blamed the girl for being so muddle-headed.
However, what surprised Yang Qing was Miao Yi's sudden appearance. He single-handedly killed his way in and out of the encirclement of one to two hundred people, and forcefully snatched Qin Weiwei away.
Yang Qing was shocked to find out if this was true. With Miao Yi's cultivation, how could he single-handedly turn the tide when surrounded by so many people? He confirmed it with Gongsun Yu again and again.
Gongsun Yu's words were filled with admiration for Miao Yi. He described in detail how Miao Yi had killed his way in and out of the encirclement with his spear in hand, making his blood boil. He still had a lingering fear of the soul-stirring scene at that time.
Yang Qing was greatly gratified after listening to Miao Yi. He thought to himself that he hadn't misjudged Miao Yi all those years ago at Transient Light Cave. This time, it was the same as what he had seen in Transient Light Cave all those years ago. This brat Miao Yi had risked his life to save his own daughter.
Of course he knew that Miao Yi and Qin Weiwei didn't have a good relationship, but it was precisely because of this that it was rare. It was obvious that Miao Yi wasn't risking his life for Qin Weiwei, but for him, Yang Qing! As expected, he hadn't misjudged Miao Yi. He hadn't treated Miao Yi kindly in vain.
After dismissing Gongsun Yu, Yang Qing turned to look at Miao Yi carefully. He realized that the refined armor on Miao Yi's body was much better looking than his own. The most ridiculous thing was that even that fat dragon steed was covered in armor from head to toe. He had never heard of such a thing before. It was truly extravagant.
Yang Qing understood at a glance that if it weren't for that, that fat dragon steed would have been killed long ago in the midst of the chaos. Without the assistance of a dragon steed's leg strength, Miao Yi wouldn't have been able to kill his way in and out of the encirclement to save his own daughter. It could be said that he had run into trouble.
His gaze fell upon the six storage rings on Miao Yi's hands. He then looked at the domineering armor on Miao Yi's dragon steed from head to toe, as well as that murderous long spear. His expression couldn't help but twitch, thinking that this brat must have struck it rich on this trip. Otherwise, how could a normal Cave Master afford such exaggerated and luxurious equipment?
"You just came back today?"
Yang Qing's voice transmission suddenly rang in Miao Yi's ears. He quickly stopped his cultivation and stopped refining the Orbs of Will to recover his transcendence energy. He replied weakly, "This subordinate has sinned. This subordinate has returned late."
Yang Qing coldly snorted, "You really went to the Sea of Constellations?"
Miao Yi weakly replied, "Yes."
He really didn't have any confidence in his heart. The subordinates he brought along were all dead, and East Arrival Cave was also destroyed by the enemy. He still didn't know if he could keep his position as Cave Master.
"With your cultivation, you can still come back alive after going to the Sea of Constellations?" Yang Qing ridiculed him, but he was secretly amazed. This bastard really never let him down. He really came back alive from the Sea of Constellations.
"It was extremely dangerous. I barely made it out alive. This subordinate was lucky enough to come back alive."
"How was your harvest this time?"
Miao Yi muttered in his heart. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to his belongings? As a superior, you wouldn't go so far as to forcefully snatch your subordinates' belongings. If word got out, who would dare to work for you anymore … He immediately replied humbly, "Not much, not much. Just a small harvest."
"A small harvest? I see that your harvest isn't small! Why? Are you afraid that I'll snatch your belongings? "
"No, no. These few items of mine are not worthy of Manor Head's discerning eyes."
Yang Qing snorted, "What about the subordinates you brought with you?"
Miao Yi was immediately speechless. What was to come had indeed come. He hesitated for a moment. Since he couldn't avoid it either way, he simply replied, "Manor Head, the Sea of Constellations is really too dangerous. We had just entered the Sea of Constellations and hadn't even set foot on land when we were ambushed by demons. Nine of my subordinates couldn't escape and were all killed on the spot!"
"Now you know how dangerous the Sea of Constellations is?" Yang Qing snorted again. After a moment of silence, he transmitted his voice again, "The people from the School of Blue Jade only know that you took them away. They still don't know that you brought them to the Sea of Constellations. If the School of Blue Jade asks later, you can push their deaths onto Ever Peace Manor. You can say that they all died in this battle. Understand?"
Miao Yi was stunned. When he regained his senses, he was overjoyed. Yang Qing was protecting him. It looked like he would be able to muddle through this crisis just like that. It wasn't in vain that he had risked his life to save Yang Qing's goddaughter. He immediately replied, "Thank you, Manor Head, for your help!"
Yang Qing snorted and didn't say a word. However, he was secretly amused, thinking about what kind of expression Zhang Decheng would have on his face right now.
He was very clear that regardless of whether Miao Yi was in East Arrival Cave or not, it wouldn't affect Ever Peace Manor's decision. What was to happen would still happen. It had nothing to do with whether this kid was there or not. On the contrary, it was this kid's sudden appearance that ruined Zhang Decheng's entire plan. Zhang Decheng would probably vomit blood from anger, wouldn't he?
He also knew that if Miao Yi hadn't gone out and returned with a body full of treasures, and had stayed in East Arrival Cave, Miao Yi wouldn't have been able to change anything with his current strength. He might have even lost his life in vain this time. Looking at it this way, it seemed that this kid sneaking off to the Sea of Constellations was actually a good thing. He had truly inadvertently helped him resolve this dangerous situation.
It was nighttime, and the snow was getting heavier. The slippery ground was gradually covered in snow.
The large group galloped continuously in the snowy night. Only the legs of dragon steeds had this kind of endurance. If it had been a normal horse, it would probably have collapsed long ago.
Qin Weiwei's injuries had already healed, and her depleted transcendence energy had also recovered by about fifty to sixty percent. Naturally, there wouldn't be any problems riding her. This was a good thing, but Miao Yi was a little speechless.
This was because Elder Auntie Qing Mei had insisted on switching mounts with him. There was no other reason other than Charcoal's superior leg strength. Qing Mei's mount, which was carrying both her and Qin Weiwei, couldn't keep up with the group's speed.
Previously, when Qin Weiwei was injured, Miao Yi had no choice but to carry her. Now, it was naturally inappropriate for a man and a woman to share the same mount. Elder Auntie had spoken, so Miao Yi had no choice but to switch with Qing Mei.
Charcoal wasn't as obedient as Qing Mei's mount, who would obey whatever its master said. It was extremely displeased to have a stranger sit on its back, and only after Miao Yi had forcefully forced it did it comply.
Charcoal's leg strength was unquestionable. Carrying Qing Mei and Qin Weiwei on its back, it didn't slow down at all. It had no problem keeping up with the group.
On the other hand, Miao Yi, who was used to riding on the plump Charcoal, was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly sat on a 'skinny' dragon steed.
This wasn't the main point. Miao Yi was a little confused as to what Yang Qing was trying to do. He had clearly said that he wanted to attack Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor, but he had gone around the various abodes of Immortals in Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. It seemed as though he had no intention of attacking at all. Along the way, he had led Zhang Decheng's troops in circles around Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor's territory.
Not only Miao Yi, but the others were also confused.
