Miao Yi: It's not that I'm up to no good, but I'm extremely worried that Albatross will burn the bridge after crossing it. At this point, Albatross has basically achieved his goal. Albatross can withdraw at any time. Once Albatross orders his subordinates to stop, my brothers won't even have anyone to run errands for him. It's very dangerous to rely on just a few people to control the entire Heaven Street. If we're not careful, the enemy will seize the opportunity to incite the people of Heaven Street to retaliate. My Netherworld Army will immediately be wiped out!
Xia Hou Ling: Don't worry. This isn't over yet. My men will still cooperate with your men.
Miao Yi asked in return: Albatross, put yourself in my shoes. If I said this, would you feel at ease?
Xia Hou Ling: I don't believe you didn't expect this situation before. Now that you've suddenly brought it up … Don't beat around the bush. Just say what you have to say.
Miao Yi thought, 'I did expect this, but I had no choice. I really couldn't find anyone to help me, so I could only hope that the Albatross would keep his promise. Now, I do have some ideas, and I hope the Albatross will grant me my wish.'
Xia Hou Ling: What ideas? I'd advise you not to play any tricks.
Miao Yi: Not really. I just met with the Vitality Sect's Sect Master Yuling. Coincidentally, the Vitality Sect has people all over Heaven Street, so I tried to persuade them to help me. I won't hide it from Albatross. The Vitality Sect has always been on good terms with me. The founder of the Vitality Sect is now working under me. So I don't have to worry about using people from the Vitality Sect. The only problem now is that the Vitality Sect has some concerns. After all, the Ying Clan is one of the owners of the Vitality Sundry Goods Store. They won't be able to help an outsider. Also, I can't tell them that the Ying Clan is about to fall, so I'm asking Albatross for help.
Xia Hou Ling was a little confused. He didn't quite understand what Miao Yi meant. He asked curiously, 'You mean you want me to persuade the Vitality Sect to dispel their concerns?'
Miao Yi thought, 'Persuasion alone is useless. Otherwise, to put it bluntly, based on my relationship with the Vitality Sect, my persuasion would be more effective than the Albatross'. Right now, the only way for the Vitality Sect to help me legitimately was to temporarily separate themselves from the Morality Goods Store. However, they couldn't just abandon the store and leave it alone. However, if I were to look for other owners to sell the store, the Kou family, the Guang family, or the Hao family wouldn't agree to it. After much thought, I could only ask the Albatross for help. Coincidentally, the Xiahou family had connections all over the Heavenly Street, and they were all people who were used to doing business. It would be convenient for them to sell the store. Once the situation had died down and the Ying family had fallen, it wouldn't be too late for the Vitality Sect to return.
Xia Hou Ling: This is impossible.
Miao Yi thought, 'It looks like I was right. Tian Weng is indeed planning to burn the bridge after crossing it!' I have no way out now. Since the heavens were heartless first, then don't blame me for being unjust!
Xiahou Ling was infuriated. At this juncture, this fellow was showing signs of shirking his responsibilities. That person from the Heavenly Palace hadn't even made a move yet!
Xia Hou Ling had no choice but to console him, 'It's not that I don't want to help you, but the store can't leave the Vitality Sect. If they leave and don't return, how am I going to explain it to the other owners of the store?'
Miao Yi thought, 'Where else can they go if they don't return to the store? They still have a share of the store's profits. That's not a small sum of money. ' The Vitality Sect has so many disciples now. If they don't have the store's source of income to support them, how are they going to feed themselves? I can't possibly incorporate the entire Vitality Sect into the Netherworld Command Manor. If I agree to it, regardless of whether the Vitality Sect agrees to it or not, I won't be able to get past the Imperial Court. As long as the Albatross burns the bridge after crossing it, the Vitality Sect will have no reason not to return.
Xiahou Ling began to curse in his heart. Miao Yi was using this as a test to see if he would burn the bridge after crossing it. At this time, the overall situation had yet to be decided, so he had no choice but to calm Miao Yi down first. It was a little difficult for him to refuse. The key was that threats were useless against Niu Youde. This lunatic was capable of anything. Moreover, he had already gambled all of his assets. He was no different from a cornered mad dog …
In the loft, Miao Yi kept the Star Bell and smiled at the three Senior and Junior Brothers. "Alright. Immediately inform the people in the store to get ready. The Xiahou Clan will immediately send someone to take over the store's affairs. You must settle the transaction as soon as possible."
'It's settled so quickly?' The three Senior and Junior Brothers looked at each other again. 'Isn't this a little too fast? Such a huge matter is settled just like that?'
The three Senior and Junior Brothers exchanged their opinions. In the end, Sect Leader Yuling nodded and said, "Alright. We will listen to the Governor's arrangements."
Miao Yi reminded, "At this time, everything must be done quickly. The Xiahou Clan won't be able to settle the accounts of the store in such a short time. There's no harm in the Vitality Sect taking away everything that can be taken away. As long as the transaction documents are written clearly, the Xiahou Clan can only pinch their noses and bear the consequences."
"…" The three Senior and Junior Brothers were completely speechless. They realized that this person was really different. Not only did he openly go against the Ying Clan, but he also openly provoked the Guang Clan. He even dared to trick the Xiahou Clan. He was a little too daring.
Sect Leader Yuling was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no. If a businessman loses this bit of credibility, how will he survive in the future?"
Yu Xu and Yu Lian silently nodded in agreement.
"…" Miao Yi really didn't know what to say to them. 'Do you think they won't criticize you if you clear the transaction? When the Xiahou Clan finds out that they've been tricked, even if they pinch their noses and bear it, they will definitely spread the news that the Vitality Sect has embezzled the goods from the store. In short, don't expect them to say anything good about it. You won't be able to defend yourself with evidence. You can't do anything to the Xiahou Clan either. Do you think they won't dare to slander you? The Xiahou Family was overflowing with wealth. It would be a waste not to take such an opportunity, yet they actually gave it up?
However, he was too familiar with the Vitality Sect's way of doing things. He knew that it would be useless no matter what he said, so he did not bother to waste his breath and just let them be.
Naturally, what happened after that was that the Xiahou Clan's shops in the various Sky Avenues quickly dispatched their men to deliver the Morality Goods Stores to the Vitality Sect. In addition to the men that the Vitality Sect had evacuated to the various Sky Avenues, there were now a few dozen more people assisting Miao Yi …
"Your Majesty, the people at Sky Street have made their move!"
Inside the Star Hall, Shangguan Qing, who had put away the Star Bell, suddenly reported to Master Qing, who was lying on the chair and pretending to sleep.
Qing Zhu's eyes flickered as he straightened his body. "Confirm whether Pojun and the others are in position or not?"
Shangguan Qing quickly took out the Star Bell to execute the order. After a while, he hurriedly reported, "The troops are in position, waiting for His Majesty's order!"
Qing Zhu pushed himself up from the table and sneered, "Have the Left Division coordinate with the army. Tell them to contact Teng Fei and Cheng Taize. Move!"
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing accepted the order and rang the Star Bell again.
Master Qing walked around the long table and paced around the Star Hall.
"What?" Sitting in the pavilion in the forest, Kou Lingxu exclaimed in shock.
Tang Henian confirmed again, "Niu Youde is using the name of the Heavenly Empress and the name of the Sky Avenue Patrol to seal off the various Sky Avenues and confiscate the Ying Clan's shops. Niu Youde's men have also surrounded the other shops and ordered everyone to only enter and not leave, including our own shops. Anyone who disobeys will be punished for defying the imperial order!"
Kou Zheng shook his head in shock, "This guy is crazy!"
"This is bad!" Kou Lingxu suddenly stood up after some thought, his expression changing. "The Sky Avenue is the biggest source of income for the various clans. How can Ying Jiuguang suffer such a loss? He will definitely send his troops when he hears the news. The Eastern Army's morale is already in chaos. Once they hear of the commotion at the Sky Avenue, what will their subordinates think? With the rumors spreading, their subordinates will think that the person from the Sky Palace has already made a move against Ying Jiuguang. The army's morale is already unstable, and with the pressure of Tian Tian declaring war against the Imperial Guards, how much will the Eastern Army have left? The biggest problem now is, will Master Qing still be able to hold back after learning of this? What a sinister and vicious Xia Houling. He has been planning this for so long, and now he wants to use someone else to do his dirty work! "
Vast Heaven King's manor.
Sitting in a pavilion, Hao Defang stood up when she heard the news. She asked in a deep voice, "Can't we command the troops at the Sky Avenue in the headquarters?"
Su Yun shook her head, "We can't contact the troops at the Sky Avenue in the lower levels. They're probably in a state of war, and the Star Bell is under their control. The most despicable thing is that Niu Youde has used the name of the Heavenly Empress to coerce a large number of merchants, suppressing our people to the point where we can't move!"
The four armies originally wanted to control the troops at the Sky Avenue in their respective territories to control the Xia Hou Clan's shops. Who knew that the opposite would happen? Instead, the Ying Clan's shops were all raided, and the other clans were controlled. This was a game where whoever had the initiative would have the right to speak. Miao Yi had already taken control of the situation and announced the Heavenly Empress' decree. Using the same logic, once the four armies took control of the Sky Avenue, the Heavenly Empress' decree would not be able to enter the Sky Avenue, nor would it be able to spread there!
"Hah!" Hao Defang punched a pillar and lamented, "This has been planned for a long time! Xia Houling has been planning this for a long time! They've already made their preparations. By the time we started to make our arrangements, it was already too late, too late! "
Su Yun said, "We have to contact the superiors at the various Sky Avenues and send people to the Sky Avenue immediately. Let's see if we can regain control."
Hao Defang said, "It's useless even if the superiors at the Sky Avenue come forward. They can suppress the troops at the Sky Avenue, but Xiahou Chengyu's decree can suppress them. Not to mention that the Sky Avenue is already under their control. Can they still attack the city? No! We still have to make preparations to attack the city. If Master Qing really has bad intentions, then we have nothing to worry about. We can immediately order the army to attack the city! "
He abruptly turned around and pointed at Su Yun, ordering, "Not only must the superiors at the various Sky Avenues hurry over, but also the nearby armies. Once they arrive, immediately surround the city. Also, have the people in the Heavenly Court's harem immediately move and collectively accuse the Heavenly Mi Palace. Ask Master Qing to punish Xiahou Chengyu. Put pressure on Master Qing, and also test his attitude. Immediately convey my orders to the clans. They must carry them out quickly! "
