Before entering, he looked at the situation of the army and estimated the number of people. He realized that they had really come out in full force. You Huan's heart tightened.
Inside the Paradise's pavilion, Miao Yi sat behind the stone table and casually drank his wine. Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing stood behind him, while Bluemoon and Long Xin stood on either side of the stone table.
You Huan looked around the Paradise's environment. After seeing the person in the pavilion, he could roughly guess that the person sitting there was the Netherworld's Governor Niu Youde. With two Divine Manifestation realm experts guarding him, it shouldn't be wrong. Duke Yuan, who was leading the way, stood on the side of the steps outside the pavilion. It was even more likely.
“? Clan Deacon You Huan greets Lord Governor. " Standing at the bottom of the steps, You Huan lifted his veil and bowed, revealing his true appearance. It was also his first time seeing Miao Yi. He was quite curious about this legendary governor and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Miao Yi looked up and swept a cold glance at him. When their gazes met, You Huan felt a chill in his heart. He could feel the killing intent in Miao Yi's eyes and quickly looked down.
At this moment, You Huan's mouth was filled with bitterness. He sighed at why his mother had to do this. Normally, a governor wouldn't dare to provoke him. After all, the clan had relations with all the major forces. Now that things were better, he had no choice but to bow his head to him.
"You've got guts. You captured my people and still dare to come here and show off. Do you think there's no one in the Netherworld Governor's Office?" Miao Yi scoffed coldly.
You Huan immediately explained, "Lord Governor, you've misunderstood. My mother and I were forced by the Ying clan. The Ying clan wanted to capture all of Lord Governor's people. It was my mother who tried her best to mediate. Even if she killed quite a few of them. Under the circumstances of the clan's disciples, she tried her best not to offend anyone else and let them go. Lord Governor's subordinates can testify to this … "He complained for a while.
Miao Yi calmly said, "Since we were forced, it's fine. Let them go first." Even though he knew the chances of saving Xu Tangran wasn't high, he still wanted to try his best.
You Huan raised his head and said with a bitter expression, "They were taken away by the Ying clan. It's no longer up to us."
Miao Yi's expression turned cold, "Then why did you come here? Are you kidding me? "
You Huan cupped his hands and said, "Lieutenant, you might not know this, but the Ying family has secretly sent five million elites from the eastern army into the Black Dragon Swamp. They are plotting against you. My mother was shocked when she heard the news. She ordered me to avoid the Ying family's spies and come to you in secret to inform you of the situation, lest you fall into the Ying family's trap!"
Five million elites? Qing Yue, Long Xin, and the others sucked in a breath of cold air. This Ying Clan was really … actually mobilized five million elites to deal with the Netherworld Army. They were trying to exterminate every last one of them! Everyone turned to look at Miao Yi. They felt that this piece of news had come at the right time. If they were to clash head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Miao Yi remained silent. He never thought that the Ying Clan would actually go to such lengths to deal with him. It was as if they were determined to kill him. It seemed like Yang Qing was right. He had truly offended the Ying Clan last time.
You Huan could feel the change in the atmosphere, and he heaved a sigh of relief. This battle should be avoided. As long as this battle could be avoided, it didn't matter if Niu Youde thanked him or not.
"Is that all?" Miao Yi suddenly broke the silence and asked.
Inexplicably, You Huan's heart skipped a beat. "What else does Milord wish to know? I will tell you everything I know. "
Miao Yi poured himself a cup of wine and asked lightly, "I just want to know if my Vice General can come back alive."
"…" You Huan was speechless for a while. "The Ying Clan is not easy to talk to, but I and my son will do our best. I will go back and find my mother to think of a way. Take care, Milord. I will take my leave now." He sensed that something was wrong with Miao Yi's tone. He had given such a huge favor, but Miao Yi didn't even show the slightest bit of gratitude. This was out of his expectations. He decided to take his leave first to avoid any possible danger.
"There's no rush." Miao Yi stopped him and put down his cup. He looked at him calmly and asked, "Is Xu Tangran still alive?" He had been trying to contact Xu Tangran, but there had been no response. He was starting to suspect that Xu Tangran was already in danger.
Realizing that Miao Yi's state of mind was unpredictable and couldn't be understood with common sense, You Huan began to feel a little nervous. He quickly nodded and said, "He's still alive. The Ying Clan is still preparing to use Lord Xu as bait. Before Milord takes the bait, Lord Xu should be fine."
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at him. "I can't contact him from here. Do you have a way for me to contact him?"
You Huan really wanted to say that he didn't have a way, but he could clearly feel the coldness in Miao Yi's eyes. He said with difficulty, "I will try." As he said this, he took out the star bell and contacted his mother. He could only let his mother think of a way now.
Miao Yi was very patient. He continued to drink by himself and waited patiently.
You You was shocked when she received her son's message. She finally realized that her judgment of Niu Youde had been wrong one after another. He actually still had the intention of saving people in such a situation. Could it be that the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers were less important than a single Xu Tangran? 'Once you lose your men, you'll lose your military power as the Netherworld's Domain Chief. What's the use of relying on a Vice Domain Chief? You won't even be able to save people if you lose your life. Doesn't someone who has climbed to this position know how to weigh the pros and cons?'
She finally realized that Niu Youde couldn't be understood with common sense. She realized that she might have sent her son into the jaws of death.
However, she still didn't understand Miao Yi's true intentions. She wanted to help her son as much as possible, so she quickly went to the guest courtyard to find Zhe Chunqiu.
Zhe Chunqiu was not surprised to hear that Miao Yi had already sent someone to contact You You to confirm whether Xu Tangran was dead or alive. This was something he had already expected. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spared Xu Tangran's life.
Xu Tangran was brought out, covered in blood. He was thrown to the ground and let out a muffled groan.
Zhe Chunqiu flicked his chin. Immediately, someone released the seal on Xu Tangran's body. However, a blade was pressed against his neck.
Xu Tangran was now very obedient. He lowered his head and didn't make a sound. He didn't dare to show any unpleasant expression. His entire body shriveled up, looking very pitiful. His thoughts were very simple. If he could preserve his life, then he would at least suffer less physical pain.
You You felt a little sick of Xu Tangran's wretched reaction. With a subordinate like this, was Niu Youde really not afraid of death?
Zhe Chunqiu stroked the sparse beard on his chin and chuckled, "Lord Xu, Niu Youde is looking for you. I'll give you a chance to contact your lord now. Do it quickly."
In that instant, Xu Tangran's spirits lifted and his eyes brightened. He had been living in a state of anxiety and fear all this time. He didn't know when he would lose his life. It had been so long, and there had been no news from the Netherworld Presidential Manor. He was a little suspicious that he had been abandoned. Now that he realized that his lord hadn't given up on him, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope for survival.
Looking at the reactions of the people around him, Xu Tangran carefully took out the Star Bell to contact Miao Yi.
Inside the Blessed Paradise, there was a loud clap. They turned around and saw Miao Yi smack the wine cup in his hand and take out a Star Bell.
Both sides communicated. Miao Yi immediately asked, "Xu Tangran, are you alright?"
Xu Tangran was a little excited, "Lord, I'm still alive."
Miao Yi was silent for a moment, then replied, "I've personally led a hundred thousand Netherworld soldiers here!"
Inexplicably, Xu Tangran felt a little sour in his nose. He almost wanted to cry. He also realized that something was wrong this time. Did he feel a large hand? Could the human race control him? The power of the Clan Elder was imaginable. After weighing the pros and cons, he was a little suspicious that he had been abandoned. After all, there was no lack of bootlickers in this world. There would be someone who could replace him at any time. He felt that his lord would at most try his best. Who would have thought that his lord would personally lead the Netherworld army to save him? At this moment, he almost wanted to ask himself what he had done to deserve this!
A feeling that had been forgotten in his heart surged, making Xu Tangran really want to cry. He suppressed his excitement and replied, "Lord, be careful. There's something wrong this time."
They didn't let him know that it was the Ying Clan who took action, and Miao Yi didn't intend to tell him either. He was worried that this guy's mouth wouldn't be reliable. Xu Tangran didn't look like a person with a backbone. Once the Ying Clan knew that Miao Yi already knew, it might harm Xu Tangran instead.
Miao Yi: "I know … I might not be able to bring you back alive this time, but … I will avenge you!"
'Am I really going to die here?' Xu Tangran felt sad. He thought back to the hardships he had gone through to climb to his current position. Only then did he realize that those insignificant people had their own happiness. What about his current position? Dejectedly, he replied, "I understand!"
Miao Yi: "Try your best to protect yourself. If necessary, you can reveal some secrets. Try your best to stay alive. Only by staying alive will there be hope. Xue Linglong is waiting for you to return. Nothing else matters!"
Xu Tangran's small eyes were filled with tears. He wanted to say something, but Zhe Chunqiu, who was beside him, calmly said, "Just a gesture will do."
Slap! Suddenly, there was a slap on the face, making Xu Tangran dizzy. The Star Bell in his hand was snatched away, and he was restrained again.
Miao Yi contacted Xu Tangran several times and realized that there was no response from him. He could roughly guess what was going on and silently put away the Star Bell.
Outside the pavilion, You Huan observed for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "If Lord has no other instructions, I will go back and discuss with Madam first to see if there is any way to save Lord Xu."
Miao Yi lowered his eyes. "My place isn't a place where anyone can come and go as they please …"
"Lord Niu …" You Huan was shocked.
Miao Yi remained unmoved and continued calmly, "Stay here with peace of mind. Also, contact your mother and ask her to do her best to protect Xu Tangran's life. If anything happens to Xu Tangran, I will use his son's life as a cushion for his coffin!"
You Huan was shocked. "Lord, if I can't return, the Ying Family will surely be suspicious. Lord Xu's life will be in danger!"
"Take him down!" Miao Yi calmly said.
Long Xin's figure suddenly flashed out, and he immediately kicked You Huan.
"Pfft!" You Huan couldn't dodge in time and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was sent flying, then crashed to the ground, groaning in pain.
Long Xin lifted him up, grabbed his hair, and shouted, "Contact your mother!"
He was also angry. He was a Marquis in the past, but now? Since when had the clan dared to provoke him? Now, he didn't show any mercy.
Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. You Huan tilted his head and took out the Star Bell with a pained expression.
After You Huan was dealt with, Miao Yi sat in the pavilion and asked, "Based on our current speed, how long will it take for us to reach the Black Dragon Swamp?"
Beside him, Yang Zhaoqing replied, "It won't take more than four hours!"
