The three-edged spearhead of the Inversed-Scales Spear pointed towards Xiong Xiao. Miao Yi growled, "You're purposely making life difficult for me!"
With a bloody gash on his back, Yan Xiu quickly rushed over with two broad axes in his hands. The two chains that were connected to the axes were wrapped around his arms, and he assumed a stance that would fight to the death with Miao Yi.
In this battle, he could be said to have killed his enemies bravely, but if it weren't for the pair of transcendent artifacts that Miao Yi had gifted him, he might have already lost his life just now.
Even if he managed to rush over in time, compared to Xiong Xiao's forces, Miao Yi, a lone Cave Master with only one leaf, seemed a little isolated.
"Make life difficult for you?" Xiong Xiao sneered and swept his gaze over Miao Yi. His face was full of disdain, as though saying, 'Do you think you're worthy of me making things difficult for you?' "You're the one who's thinking too much. I said that I wanted to replenish my manpower, but you insisted on letting your imagination run wild. I can't do anything about it."
But in reality, he was purposely making things difficult for Miao Yi. If he hadn't seen that Miao Yi was bent on killing the three of them, he wouldn't have personally stepped forward to stop him. He just wanted to annoy Miao Yi. Thinking back to the time when Miao Yi publicly slapped him in the face and called him an 'old wretch', he felt utterly humiliated. Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted to return the favor.
The corner of Miao Yi's mouth twitched fiercely. He pointed his spear at Yuan Zhengkun and the other two, who were trembling in fear. "The three of them committed atrocities in my East Arrival Cave. They are utterly devoid of conscience. I will definitely not let them off! You'd better give them to me! "
What he meant was, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!
When a Cave Master faced a Mountain Chieftain, it could be said that he was not courteous at all.
Xiong Xiao's subordinates looked at each other in dismay. The grudge between Miao Yi and Xiong Xiao had long since spread throughout South Edict Manor; it could be said that everyone knew about it. This Cave Master Miao was probably the person in the entire South Edict Manor who held Mountain Chieftain Xiong in contempt the most.
On one side was their Mountain Chieftain, while on the other side was the Great Cave Master Miao, who was also Manor Head Yang Qing's trusted aide. If Mountain Chieftain Xiong Xiao didn't say anything, it wouldn't be good for them to help either side.
Xiong Xiao snorted coldly and said, "The three of them are already my Mount Shaotai's people. How can they be given by anyone who wants? If I don't give it to you, what do you want? "
Miao Yi was furious. He pointed his spear at Xiong Xiao. "Old thief Xiong Xiao, do you dare fight me to the death!"
A cultivator with a full set of transcendent artifact armor and below the Blue Lotus realm. Right now, he really wasn't afraid!
Xiong Xiao obviously wanted to challenge him to a duel, so how could Xiong Xiao show any signs of weakness? He raised his saber and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of you? You asked for it. This Xiong's saber doesn't have eyes, so don't blame me if anything goes wrong! "
He hadn't been able to find a suitable opportunity to strike ruthlessly. Now that the other party had delivered himself to his doorstep, he couldn't have asked for more.
The two of them rode to the side and really got into a duel stance.
However, Miao Yi's roar was too eye-catching. Yang Qing, who was galloping over, bellowed furiously, "STOP IT!"
Liu Jingtian's companions had also arrived by his side, and he looked on curiously. Could it be an internal strife?
Qin Weiwei cast a glance from afar. When she saw that it was those two enemies who were at daggers drawn, she knew that something bad was about to happen. He temporarily put aside the matter at hand and led Gongsun Yu, Li Youqian, and Zhang Yuniang over. She couldn't ignore her own subordinates and Xiong Xiao's conflict.
Yang Qing rushed over with Liu Jingtian, holding Zhang Decheng's severed head in his hand. He stopped in between Miao Yi and Xiong Xiao, and looked at the two of them. "What are you two trying to do?"
Miao Yi immediately pointed at Yuan Zhengkun and the other two who were hiding among Xiong Xiao's troops. "These three bastards are utterly devoid of conscience. They raped and pillaged my East Arrival Cave, smashed and destroyed, and even after humiliating a dozen handmaidens, they still refused to let them go. They actually hung their naked corpses on the broken beams of the East Arrival Grand Hall. If I don't kill these three, it will be hard to quell the hatred in my heart! "
Yan Xiu glared at Yuan Zhengkun and the others, wishing he could tear them into a thousand pieces. The grudge between him and Yuan Zhengkun wasn't just limited to East Arrival Cave.
Qin Weiwei and the others, who had stopped their steeds at the side, also stared coldly at Yuan Zhengkun and the others. She naturally knew what they had done in East Arrival Cave.
But Xiong Xiao also had his mouth wide open. "Based on what you've said, shouldn't all the surrendered soldiers be killed? Since we all serve our own masters, we naturally have our own considerations. If you had the ability to kill them before they surrendered to me, I wouldn't have said another word. "
He turned to Yang Qing and cupped his fists. "Manor Head, these three have already surrendered to me. I have already accepted their surrender. The three of them have already become Mount Shaotai's men, yet Miao Yi still wants to charge forward and kill them. What kind of logic is this? "
"Scum!" Miao Yi waved his spear and angrily rebuked. "Don't try to twist words and force logic. You clearly saw me chasing after the three of them, so you intentionally stopped me! If you have the guts, let the three of them come out and fight with me. Let's see if I have the ability to turn the three of them into minced meat! "
'Calling me a' scum 'again?' Xiong Xiao was also furious. Back then, he was in the wrong outside South Edict Manor. He could only endure the scolding. Now, not only was it in front of everyone, but there were also people from Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor present. How could he swallow this insult? He immediately brandished his saber and pointed it at Miao Yi. "You mad dog with a mouth full of shit. Watch your mouth. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The two of them were about to fight for real on the spot. It was only because Yang Qing, who was standing between them, was a little troublesome. Otherwise, the two of them would have already started fighting.
The people who rushed over later realized that the Great Cave Master Miao was too fierce. He actually dared to fight Xiong Xiao one-on-one. Some of them couldn't help but have the mentality of watching a show.
They actually dared to rebel in front of outsiders. Yang Qing glared at them and angrily said, "Both of you, shut up!"
The two of them glanced at Yang Qing. Seeing that Yang Qing was angry, they resentfully slowly lowered their weapons, not daring to act rashly again.
In the entire South Edict Manor, only Yang Qing could make Miao Yi behave. As long as Yang Qing slightly relented, Miao Yi would dare to secretly drag people away and run to the Sea of Constellations. Why would he care about Qin Weiwei? He didn't even care about his own Mountain Chieftain, Qin Weiwei, so why would he care about Xiong Xiao?
Yang Qing looked at his two trusted subordinates who were covered in blood. They were stained with fresh blood from a bloody battle. It was obvious how valiant the two of them were in battle. Furthermore, both of them had contributed greatly. If Miao Yi hadn't risked his life to rescue Qin Weiwei and ruin Zhang Decheng's plan, who knew what the current situation would be like. If Xiong Xiao hadn't risked his life to save Qin Weiwei and ruin Zhang Decheng's plans, who knew what the current situation would be like. If Xiong Xiao hadn't risked his life and bravely thought of a way to deceive Liu Jingtian's troops into cooperating with him, they wouldn't have achieved such a great victory.
Unfortunately, these two meritorious subjects were as incompatible as fire and water. There was no end to it, and they were at loggerheads again. Both of them had just contributed greatly, so it wouldn't be good to openly side with either side now.
"Aren't you going to take your men away?" Yang Qing shouted at Qin Weiwei.
Qin Weiwei was a little hesitant to speak, but when she saw the 'guest' Liu Jingtian at the side, she could only urge her dragon steed forward and call out to Miao Yi, "Let's go!"
"They …" Miao Yi was unwilling to give up. He pointed at Yuan Zhengkun and the other two, wanting to argue with them. However, when he met Yang Qing's cold glare, his expression twitched and he shut his mouth. With a face full of unwillingness, he turned his head and followed behind Qin Weiwei. He would occasionally turn his head to look at Yuan Zhengkun and the other two. His gaze made the three of them feel a chill run down their spines.
The three of them had a premonition that this bastard had no intention of letting them go. However, since even Yang Qing had spoken, it should be fine.
"Why aren't you taking your men and scram?!" Yang Qing shouted at Xiong Xiao again.
It sounded as though he was giving Miao Yi more face, because he used the word 'scram' on Xiong Xiao. However, Xiong Xiao respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
He turned around and hurriedly left with his men.
However, Xiong Xiao was secretly happy. On the surface, the Manor Head was not courteous to him, but in reality, he was still biased towards him. Yuan Zhengkun and the other two were still protected by him, and Miao Yi had still lost in front of him.
"A few disappointing subordinates. I've embarrassed myself in front of Brother Liu." Yang Qing sighed at Liu Jingtian.
Liu Jingtian chuckled. His attitude towards Yang Qing seemed to be pretty good.
It was all because Liu Jingtian had received a great deal of benefits. Yang Qing was willing to part with it, and without the slightest bit of hesitation. He didn't take a single item from Zhang Decheng's body. Even the flying sword that he clearly needed was given to Liu Jingtian, treating it all as the reward he had promised Liu Jingtian to mobilize his troops.
This made Liu Jingtian greatly admire Yang Qing's forthrightness. It should be known that the savings of a Manor Head for many years were not that simple. At least, Yang Qing, who had only been a Manor Head for a few years, was far from being able to compare. Once Liu Jingtian saw the benefits he had received, he immediately felt that Yang Qing was a person worth befriending.
Of course, it wasn't as though Yang Qing didn't want anything. Even though he had won this time, Zhang Decheng's side wouldn't just sit and wait for death. A large number of troops were unavoidable, so Yang Qing only wanted one thing, and that was to take away all of Zhang Decheng's surrendered subordinates to replenish his own.
Liu Jingtian, who had received such a great benefit, wouldn't even let go of a small profit. He could slowly replenish the troops he had lost over a few years, but the items on Zhang Decheng's body couldn't be accumulated over a few years. Naturally, Liu Jingtian agreed without hesitation.
"Brother Yang, even though you and I are neighbors, there are still some things that must be made clear. Zhang Decheng deserves to die, but since he has implicated my Suppressing Third Hall, it is your Suppressing Second Hall's fault. The higher-ups will definitely investigate this matter, and your Suppressing Second Hall must give us an explanation."
Liu Jingtian, who was riding alongside Yang Qing, said.
"The matter between the two Hall Masters isn't something we can interfere with. Let our Hall Masters handle it. There's no need for us to worry." After Yang Qing replied, he suddenly tilted his head and said, "Brother Liu, speaking of the matter between the two Halls, I have a presumptuous request that I hope Brother Liu can help me with."
Liu Jingtian replied, "Tell me about it."
Yang Qing sighed and said, "Even though Zhang Decheng has already been eradicated, and I can report back to the higher-ups, I'm afraid that if word gets out that I've secretly contacted Brother Liu for help, people will accuse me of colluding with Suppressing Third Hall. Colluding with outsiders to attack one's own people is bound to be gossiped about no matter where you put it. I wonder if Brother Liu could write a complaint for me to submit to the Hall Master when I report back?"
Liu Jingtian was taken aback. Yang Qing wanted him to put in a good word for him, and clear himself of the matter of him colluding with him in secret.
However, Yang Qing's words were tantamount to a reminder to him. Suppressing Second Hall might accuse Yang Qing of colluding with outsiders, but how could Suppressing Third Hall not accuse him, Liu Jingtian, of colluding with outsiders?
He immediately asked, "Then will Brother Yang also write something for me to bring back to present to the Hall Master?"
"Since Brother Liu has spoken, it's a small matter."
Since Yang Qing had brought up this matter, he naturally knew what the other party wanted. Without another word, he immediately fished out a jade archive, imbued it with transcendence energy, and wrote something. After stamping his transcendence seal on it, he handed it over to Liu Jingtian.
Liu Jingtian received it and examined it. What Yang Qing had written first was an apology, saying that he didn't control the situation well enough, allowing Zhang Decheng to run into Suppressing Third Hall's territory and wreak havoc. However, after that, he accused Liu Jingtian, saying that this was Suppressing Second Hall's matter, and that Liu Jingtian had forcefully interfered and killed a member of Suppressing Second Hall.
