The sky was overcast, and a cold wind blew.
With a few thuds, the battered and dying Yuan Zhengkun, Li Xin, and Sun Jiaojiao were thrown to the ground.
If it were a normal person, they would have lost their lives long ago. The three of them used their transcendence energy to protect their heart veins, and barely managed to stay alive.
Most importantly, the person who captured them didn't kill them. Otherwise, they wouldn't be alive.
The cold snow on the ground hit their faces, and the three of them shuddered, waking them up from their daze. One by one, they slowly raised their heads.
The three of them were lying at the bottom of the ruined steps of the East Arrival Grand Hall. As soon as they raised their heads, they saw dozens of frozen female corpses hanging from the broken beams of the East Arrival Grand Hall.
Why were these corpses still hanging here? The three of them narrowed their eyes, and their heartbeats quickened.
This was their handiwork. How could they not know where they had arrived?
In front of them, other than the dozens of corpses hanging there, there was no one else. The three of them desperately turned their heads to look, and saw the nine masked men with disheveled hair behind them. At this moment, all of them had taken off their masks, revealing their true faces, and were surrounding them in a semi-circle.
Rustling sounds could be heard from afar.
The Inversed-Scales Spear was dragged in Miao Yi's hand. The spearhead was dragged along the ground, and a line was drawn on the snowy ground. The sound of metal scraping against the stone floor sounded a little … Human.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er followed behind him on his left and right. Lai Yuhan and Yan Xiu also followed behind them with disheveled hair. At the very back were Yuan Fang and the others. Almost everyone in East Arrival Cave was walking towards the ruined East Arrival Grand Hall.
Yao Ruoxian sat on the trunk of a cedar tree in the nearby mountain range with one of his legs dangling over it. He held up his wide sleeve, and opened it to look at the eighty-five tiny mantids crawling inside.
He tossed in a handful of gold crystals, and a scalp-numbing crunching sound could be heard.
Yao Ruoxian, who was serving the tiny mantids like they were his ancestors, tilted his head to look in the direction of the East Arrival Grand Hall. He chuckled, and muttered, "This brat is really persistent. He actually managed to capture them."
Seeing Miao Yi and the others walk over, the nine people surrounding Yuan Zhengkun and the others immediately parted to make way.
Yuan Zhengkun and the others' blood-stained chests heaved rapidly. They widened their eyes as they watched Miao Yi slowly walk over with his spear.
Miao Yi's lips curled into a knowing smile as he confirmed the identities of the three with his own eyes. He chuckled and said, "I trust the three of you have been well!"
When Qian'Er and Xue'Er saw the three of them again, they gritted their teeth in hatred. When they saw the hanging corpses of their sisters, they recalled how they had watched helplessly as their sisters were humiliated, and their eyes reddened again.
Yan Xiu widened his eyes so much that they were about to spit fire. He clenched his fists so hard that cracking sounds could be heard.
Their bodies were extremely weak. They struggled to get up, but they really didn't have the strength to do so. Facing Miao Yi, who was approaching them step by step with his spear in hand, they could only inch backwards. They could already imagine what would happen next. It could be said that his face was filled with terror.
As the saying goes, death is not scary. What is scary is the moment before death.
Miao Yi suddenly stopped when he arrived in front of the three of them. Thump! The long spear in his hand was abruptly thrust into the ground.
The three of them jumped in fright. Yuan Zhengkun, who had been groaning in pain all night and had a hoarse voice, hissed, "Surrender! I surrender! Don't kill us! I surrender … "
Li Xin and Sun Jiaojiao anxiously begged for mercy, "Surrender! Surrender … "
"Haha!" Miao Yi stood up with his spear in hand. He looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh. Suddenly, he stared at the three of them and sneered, "Do you think I'm an idiot? I'll capture you guys from Xiong Xiao's hands, then I'll take you guys in. Are you afraid that others won't be able to use me against you? "
The three of them were taken aback. That's right. If they fell into someone else's hands, perhaps they could surrender. But Miao Yi and Xiong Xiao belonged to the same faction. If he really took the three of them in, wouldn't that prove that Miao Yi had sent people to attack Changfeng Cave at night?
In other words, out of the three of them, only one of them would die … The three of them immediately panicked!
Miao Yi had already raised his hand and pointed at the dozen or so corpses hanging on the broken beam. "They have been waiting for you all this time!"
"No!" Sun Jiaojiao suddenly screamed. She crawled over with all her might to Qian'Er's feet. She hugged her thigh and begged Miao Yi, "Don't kill me. Don't kill me. She can testify that I wasn't the one who killed them. I didn't do anything to them. It was all done by the two of them. "She pointed at Yuan Zhengkun and Li Xin.
This accusation scared Yuan Zhengkun and Li Xin so much that their faces turned deathly pale. Unfortunately, they were powerless to defend themselves.
"Is that so?" Miao Yi looked at Qian'Er and Xue'Er and asked.
The two girls were a little troubled. When they were humiliating the handmaidens, Sun Jiaojiao couldn't do it because she was also a woman. As for whether Sun Jiaojiao had a part in it, the two of them had already been taken away by Chen Fei at the time, so they didn't see it. For a moment, they didn't know how to answer.
Miao Yi understood the dilemma from the two girls' expressions. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, then I'll give you a quick death!"
'Swish!' Without another word, he suddenly pulled out the spear in his hand. The sharp spearhead pierced into Sun Jiaojiao's heart from the back. Three streams of blood gushed out from the three grooves on the triangular spearhead, frightening Qian'Er so much that she quickly retreated.
"You …" Sun Jiaojiao lowered her head to look at the sharp spearhead protruding out of her chest. She spat out a mouthful of blood as she struggled to turn her head to look at Miao Yi.
Miao Yi was expressionless. He pushed the spear in his hand forward again, and the sharp triangular spearhead abruptly burst out from her chest, glistening with blood.
'Pu!' The Inversed-Scales Spear was pulled out, and the sharp barbs on the spearhead brought out her bones and flesh. It was a true killing weapon.
A bloody hole immediately appeared on Sun Jiaojiao's chest. She fell to the ground, and her body twitched a few times before she stopped moving.
"Yan Xiu, I'll leave the two of them to you!" Miao Yi turned to Yan Xiu and said, invoking his arts to shake off the bloodstains on the spearhead.
He knew that Yan Xiu had always wanted to avenge Luo Zhen, but he didn't have the ability to do so, so he didn't say anything.
When Yan Xiu heard this, he immediately bared his teeth. His expression was ferocious, and a saber flashed from his storage ring. Holding it in his hand, he immediately charged forward.
"No! No … "Yuan Zhengkun and Li Xin screamed as they crawled backwards.
Yan Xiu stepped on Li Xin, and stabbed his saber into Yuan Zhengkun. He first swiftly cut off the tendons in their arms and legs, then skinned Yuan Zhengkun alive in front of everyone. He didn't hold back at all. The skin was lifted from his back, and the scene was incomparably horrifying.
"AHHH …" Yuan Zhengkun, who was in extreme fear, immediately let out a blood-curdling scream.
Li Xin's eyes were wide open, and he immediately fainted from the shock of the scene before him.
Many people looked at Yan Xiu in shock. They didn't expect the Head Chamberlain to be so ruthless, to the point of skinning someone alive. Everyone felt their scalps go numb from Yan Xiu's cruel methods.
Most people didn't know about the grudge between Yan Xiu and Yuan Zhengkun's group. They didn't know that Yan Xiu's wife had been killed by them.
Even though Qian'Er and Xue'Er wanted to avenge their sisters, such a bloody and horrifying scene made them nauseous. They couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and quickly turned their heads away.
Miao Yi had slaughtered pigs since he was young, so he had seen too many bloody scenes. It wasn't like he hadn't killed people before, but he had no interest in staying here and listening to the wails and howls.
Putting away the Inversed-Scales Spear, he looked at the dozen or so corpses swaying in the cold wind, and let out a heavy sigh. His vow had finally been fulfilled.
He turned to Yuan Fang and said, "That scum Xiong Xiao might come for revenge. Send more people to stand guard in the vicinity."
Yuan Fang cupped her fists and said, "Understood!"
After giving a few instructions, Miao Yi left with his two handmaidens.
The others weren't interested in watching such a perverse scene any longer, and turned to leave as well. Only Yan Xiu was left swinging his saber and busying himself.
The air was filled with the stench of blood. After Yan Xiu had skinned the two of them alive, he sat on the ruined steps. His hands were covered in blood, and tears streamed down his face as he sobbed, "Little Zhen …"
He finally let out the sorrow and regret he had been holding in for a long time. He regretted that his weakness and incompetence had caused his wife to live such a useless life. Now that he had mustered the courage to start anew, he could no longer enjoy the woman who had accompanied him for his entire life. The regret in his heart was indescribable.
"Master seems to be crying?"
Xue'Er, who was standing beside Miao Yi at the window of the wooden house, asked curiously.
Miao Yi stared at Yan Xiu, who was sobbing at the foot of the mountain, for a while. Without saying a word, he turned back to his bed and sat down cross-legged to cultivate …
South Edict Manor. The Mountain Chieftain of two mountains, Xiong Xiao, still used Mount Shaotai as his base.
Mount Shaotai was the birthplace of Manor Head Yang Qing, so Xiong Xiao couldn't just abandon it and move to another mountain to manage the affairs of the two mountains.
At this time, the Changfeng Cave Master had already rushed to Mount Shaotai, and was reporting to Xiong Xiao about the attack on Changfeng Cave.
When he said that the attackers had only captured Yuan Zhengkun and the other two, Xiong Xiao's expression was already twitching. He didn't need the Changfeng Cave Master to explain; he could already guess who did it. Others wouldn't be so bored as to cause trouble for themselves like this.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. A mere Cave Master actually dared to attack his territory. He was simply too arrogant!
He couldn't hold it in any longer. He slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "Miao Yi, you scum! You've gone too far! "
With a bang, the long table in front of him was immediately smashed into smithereens by his palm, and the wood splinters scattered all over the floor.
Xiong Xiao was fuming like an enraged lion, pacing back and forth in the hall with a sinister expression.
Standing on either side of the chair, Chun Xue and Dong Xue were silent. Chun Xue even secretly bit her lips. She really didn't expect that the butcher boy in Changfeng City, who had to act according to the Huang family's wishes, would actually be so arrogant that he didn't even put his own Master in his eyes.
The vengeance of her father and younger brother had always worried her, but she couldn't say anything more. Miao Yi was already showing signs of gradually growing in power. He was no longer someone that Xiong Xiao could casually send over to deal with unless he mobilized a large number of troops.
But Chun Xue also knew that it was impossible to mobilize such a large force without a valid reason. Her Master, who had been humiliated several times because of her family's vengeance, would never do something like this, unless her Master was tired of living. Even though she was the Mountain Chieftain's personal handmaiden, it wasn't to the extent where her Master would be so reckless.
But this time, Chun Xue once again saw an opportunity.
But to her disappointment, Xiong Xiao, who was pacing back and forth, gradually calmed down. His footsteps halted, and he said in a deep voice, "This matter will be reported to the Manor Head for a decision!"
The Changfeng Cave Master was stunned, "Mountain Chieftain, are we going to let him go just like that?"
