Needless to say, Xu Tangran nodded repeatedly to show that he understood. His injuries hadn't fully healed yet, so his speed was affected. He took the initiative to let Yang Zhaoqing bring him and Ying Wuman into his pocket again.
Yang Zhaoqing quickly leaped out from behind the astral body and rushed forward. At the same time, he contacted Miao Yi.
Inside the hall, Miao Yi took out the Star Bell and made some calls. Then, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed heartily. Yang Zhaoqing had really given him a big surprise. Not only did he save Xu Tangran during the 'negotiation', he even kidnapped Ying Wuman along with him. It was truly a pleasant surprise. Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a big surprise.
Ao Tie and the others, as well as Mo You and the others, looked at him in shock. They exchanged glances from time to time, not knowing why he was so happy.
"Why are you laughing, Milord?" Ao Tie asked cautiously.
Miao Yi placed his hands on the compass and shook his head. After calming himself down, his face was glowing and full of energy. He pointed at Dan Qing and Meng Ru and said, "Yang Zhaoqing has returned from his negotiations. Yun, Mu, the two of you will go and receive him. Remember, you must bring Yang Zhaoqing back no matter the cost!"
The reason why he called them Yun and Mu was because it was inconvenient to reveal their true identities. He simply used the surnames of the six Divine Masters behind them.
The two of them looked at each other. From Miao Yi's attitude, they could tell that something had happened. They cupped their fists and said, "Understood!"
After a while, seeing that Miao Yi was still smiling, Mo You couldn't help but ask, "General Niu, what happened?"
Miao Yi waved his hand, unwilling to explain. "You will understand later."
Yang Zhaoqing said that Ying Wuman might still be in his hands. It wouldn't be good for him to reveal it now. After all, he couldn't guarantee that no one here would leak the secret. If they did, Ying Wuman might not be able to display his full potential.
Everyone present exchanged glances with each other, their hearts filled with doubt. However, judging from Miao Yi's reaction, it probably wasn't a bad thing.
Under the moonlight, a group of about a dozen people descended from the sky and landed on the roof of the main hall.
It was a peerless beauty in a silver muslin dress. Her bright eyes surveyed the surroundings, and she had a cold and noble air about her. She had a beautiful face, a graceful figure, and an extraordinary bearing. It was none other than the Traversing Moon Palace's Palace Master, Li Hua. For a long time, the people of the Netherworld Commander Manor had been asking for an audience every year, but they had not been able to. Now that they were here personally, the Netherworld Commander Manor was deserted. Birds flew in and out of the rooms, but not a single person could be seen.
The accompanying people suddenly flashed and flew inside and outside the presidential palace to patrol. When they landed on the roof, they all shook their heads at Li Hua.
A beautiful woman standing on Li Hua's right said, "Palace Lord, it seems like he really is hiding to avoid trouble."
The beautiful woman on the left said, "I heard that the Fourth Army is capturing the people of Juxian Hall everywhere. Some of them were captured, and some were killed. The number of casualties is uncountable. I wonder what Niu Youde is doing. He is simply audacious."
Li Huayuan raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the starry sky. She said softly, "A general's success is built on the bones of ten thousand people …"
"His Highness has given us ten hours to solve the problem in the Black Dragon Pond."
In the cave hall, Ao Fei, who was standing in front of the compass, kept the star bell in his hand and said in a solemn tone.
Wang Yuanqiao and Kong Han also looked solemn. Both of them had star bells in their hands, and they had subordinates in the outside world. It was impossible for them not to know that such a big thing had happened outside. Someone sent them a message, and the three of them had been dealing with this matter.
"There is naturally no problem in ending the battle. If Niu Youde is hiding, I'm afraid ten hours …" Wang Yuanqiao shook his head slowly.
Ao Fei sighed softly. "The Imperial Guards have mobilized so many people, and His Highness is also under a lot of pressure. I think everyone is clear about the consequences if this matter is not solved. Five million elites can't even deal with a mere Niu Youde. We also have no face to see His Highness again. Let's think of a way to force Niu Youde to fight!"
Kong Han smiled bitterly. "If he doesn't come out and we can't find him, how are we going to end the battle?"
Ao Fei lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. He then lifted his head and said, "Bring that Yang Zhaoqing over. Let's try it on him first."
Outside the cave, someone immediately went to carry out the order. However, when they came back, Jiang Yi had disappeared.
Wang Yuanqiao and Kong Han looked at each other. Ao Fei was stunned for a moment. Then, he shouted angrily at the messenger, "Could it be that he disappeared into thin air? Bring the guards here! "
Soon, two guards were pushed in. Ao Fei walked over to the two with his hands behind his back. He stared at them coldly. The fear on their faces was hard to conceal. Ao Fei knew something was wrong with one look. He said in a low voice, "Where did he go?"
At this point, the two guards didn't dare to hide anything. They both knelt on one knee. One of them said fearfully, "He was taken away by Commander Wu."
They had to say it. It was Wu Xianqi who didn't keep his promise. They had agreed to contact Wu Xianqi to send him back when they came to pick him up. Who knew that Wu Xianqi couldn't be contacted? How could the two of them bear this responsibility?
Ao Fei looked at the two of them. "Which Commander Wu?"
That person said, "Wu Xianqi, Commander Wu."
Ao Fei frowned. "Where did he go?"
The two of them shook their heads. They didn't know.
Wang Yuanqiao and Kong Han looked at each other. They both walked to Ao Fei's side. Wang Yuanqiao said, "Wu Xianqi is one of the commanders of Marquis Ying's new army. This matter might be related to the Marquis."
Kong Han also nodded. He was hinting that besides the Marquis, who else would have such guts?
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look. " Ao Fei said this and led his people away. If he didn't show up personally, the others probably wouldn't dare to say anything in front of Ying Wuman.
The group soon arrived at the Blessed Enclave where Ying Wuman was detained. The guards at the door saluted. Ao Fei stood at the door and said in a low voice, "Report."
Although Marquis Ying was detained, he didn't dare to be impolite.
However, not long after the guard went in, he ran out in a panic. "The Marquis is missing!"
"Missing?" Ao Fei glared at him. He immediately waved his arm and pushed the guard to the side. Then, he walked in with large strides.
When the few of them entered the Blessed Enclave, they knew that something had happened. The problem was with the house that had been blown to pieces. The few of them used their arts to search the small space, but they couldn't find anyone.
What happened next wasn't hard to imagine. They immediately contacted Ying Wuman, but they couldn't get in touch with him. Then, they contacted Wu Xianqi, but they still couldn't get in touch with him. Then, they immediately checked where he had gone. The people outside didn't see Ying Wuman leave. They only saw Wu Xianqi leave with some people, but they didn't know where they went.
Ao Fei was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He realized that the new army was indeed Ying Wuman's people. Nobody reported that someone had entered and left without permission. Ao Fei knew that this group of people had higher cultivations, but he didn't dare to let Jiang Qianli use them. He was afraid that something would happen. Who would have thought that they would still cause trouble when they were cooped up in their nest?
They instinctively thought that Ying Wuman didn't want to be detained and left without permission. But if he left, then so be it. Why did he take Yang Zhaoqing with him? Did he want to deliberately drag them down?
The furious Ao Fei paced back and forth at the foot of the mountain with his hands behind his back. He had an ugly expression on his face.
The people guarding Yang Zhaoqing in the cave, the people guarding the entrance of the Blessed and Heavenly Lands, and the people from the new army who were responsible for guarding the checkpoint — a total of nearly a hundred people — were quickly brought over. All of them were tied up with Immortal-binding Ropes and forced to kneel on the ground.
After asking again and again, no one knew where Ying Wuman and Wu Xianqi had gone. Ao Fei stared at the people who were forced to kneel and spat out a ruthless word, "Kill them!"
"Great General, please spare our lives …"
Immediately, there were sounds of begging. However, as blood spurted out and heads fell to the ground one after another, there was no more sound.
Ao Fei ignored the rolling heads and immediately ordered, "Pass down my order. Immediately order the spies that were sent out to find Wu Xianqi's whereabouts!"
The Netherworld Army and? In the central hall of the human army, Dan Qing and Meng Ru strode in to report to their superiors. Behind them were Yang Zhaoqing and Xu Tangran.
"Milord, fortunately, I didn't fail you. There were indeed hundreds of thousands of people at the original ambush site," Yang Zhaoqing cupped his hands and replied.
"Milord!" Xu Tangran had lost most of his head. His hair was a mess, and his body was covered in blood. He immediately knelt down on one knee and raised his head to look at Miao Yi. His eyes were brimming with tears as he said, "I didn't think I would be able to return alive to see Milord. It is my incompetence that has caused trouble for Milord!" His voice was already a little choked up.
Miao Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw Xu Tangran. However, he was a little annoyed. 'Why is he kneeling and crying again?'
Little did he know that Xu Tangran was truly moved this time. He never thought that Miao Yi would be willing to fight against the five million elites of the Ying Clan to the bitter end for his sake. All these years, how could he not know that he was nothing more than a bootlicker in the eyes of others? He knew that many people secretly looked down on him, and that Milord probably didn't think much of him either. However, he didn't really care about it. He had his own way of dealing with the world. However, he was truly touched this time. It turned out that he held so much weight in Milord's heart.
"It's good that you're back." Miao Yi reached out and helped him up. Then, he called out to the other two, "Follow me."
Xu Tangran wiped away his tears and followed Miao Yi into a nearby cave with Yang Zhaoqing.
After avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, Miao Yi immediately transmitted his voice over to Yang Zhaoqing and asked, "Are you sure that the other side doesn't know that Ying Wuman is in our hands?"
Yang Zhaoqing quickly explained the situation to Miao Yi. In the end, he concluded, "They probably won't know for the time being, unless that Wu Xianqi decides to go back and seek his own death. From what I can see, that Wu Xianqi isn't a loyal person. He's rather selfish, so he probably won't take such a risk."
"Good!" Miao Yi clapped his hands together, then patted Yang Zhaoqing's shoulder and praised him sincerely, "Well done!"
Even though he knew that Yang Zhaoqing's words were simple, what he had gone through must have been extremely dangerous. It definitely wasn't easy. After all, Yang Zhaoqing wasn't an idiot. He would be able to find out the details later. Even so, he didn't tell Yang Zhaoqing that he should be rewarded for his great contribution. There were some things that didn't need to be said to some people.
"It's your humble servant's job." Yang Zhaoqing smiled politely, then stood to the side without saying another word, as though nothing had happened. That was because he knew his position very well. By Miao Yi's side, Yang Zhaoqing only needed to do his job and didn't need to take credit for it. Miao Yi would give him whatever he needed and wouldn't mistreat him. Accumulating contributions without a trace was the only way to keep a foothold by Miao Yi's side.
Meanwhile, Xu Tangran tossed Zhe Chunqiu out and said anxiously, "Milord, I used this guy to get my men to loot almost all of the Ying Clan's shops. Unfortunately, it's inconvenient for the Virtuous Assembly Hall to move around at the moment. Some of our men can't be mobilized, so we're really short on manpower. Otherwise, I could have looted all of the Ying Clan's shops."
