With Nan Bo's warning, Xiong Qi naturally knew he couldn't touch the black light. He quickly dodged and covered his body with a shield, blocking the black light that he couldn't dodge in time.
The black light smashed into the shield like a blooming black rose.
"Go!" Yao Monk Nan Bo's voice rang out from within Xiong Qi's body again.
The black light from Yan Xiu's Soul Summoning Streamer continued to shoot out. The mantis that had been sent flying once again charged forward fearlessly. Yan Beihong, who had been sent flying, once again charged back down. His subordinates were clearly frozen in place. Xiong Qi gritted his teeth. He knew that he had no choice but to leave.
Xiong Qi wasn't afraid of fighting force with force, but he was afraid of these unorthodox methods. If he wasn't careful, he could fall into their trap. He could only quickly flee, using his shield to cover his back to avoid being hit by the black light.
The mantis and Yan Beihong were in hot pursuit. Yan Xiu couldn't keep up with the Hell Mantis he was riding, so he took out a Sixth Grade Transcendence Bow and pulled back the bowstring to fire three arrows.
Xiong Qi used his shield to block the incoming light. Three explosions rang out, but not only did it not do anything to Xiong Qi, it even used the momentum to speed up his escape.
The number of attacks from the Transcendence Bow was still a little low. It would be difficult for a Sixth Grade Transcendence Bow to harm the Commander of the Right of the Ying family's personal army.
Although the Hell Mantis was fast, its current strength was limited. It could take a beating, but it was still a little lacking to catch up to Xiong Qi, who had a higher cultivation.
As the distance between the two sides grew further and further, Yan Xiu and Yan Beihong had no choice but to stop. They could only watch helplessly as Xiong Qi shot through the air.
Xiong Qi gritted his teeth hatefully as he turned around to look at Niu Youde. He didn't have many subordinates left. He hadn't even managed to bring a single one of the two thousand men he had brought with him back. All of them had died here. He really didn't expect Niu Youde to have such a crooked character like Yan Xiu under his command. He also didn't know what was going on with this Shadow Guard. He was a little worried that the experts of the Shadow Guard would arrive.
Yan Xiu and Yan Beihong didn't hesitate. They knew they couldn't stay here any longer, so they quickly returned to the battlefield.
As soon as they landed, they waved their Soul Summoning Banners. Almost two thousand men from both sides gathered around Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu swept a glance at the number of masked men and realized that there were only about a thousand of them left. He furrowed his brows slightly. He had brought three thousand men with him, but over two thousand had died. He was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to answer to Miao Yi when he returned. However, he couldn't care less at this moment. All 2,000 people had been subdued by him.
Seeing how obedient these people were, Yan Beihong was secretly amazed. Adding on the fact that he had personally witnessed Yan Xiu coming out unscathed despite being surrounded by several thousand people, if it was him, he wouldn't be able to handle it either. This was because there was a Vision Domain expert among these several thousand people. He never thought that this eccentric old man would have this kind of ability. No wonder Brother Miao kept him by his side as a bodyguard. So he was a hidden expert.
Yan Xiu put away his Spirit Summoning Banner, took out his Magic Breaking Bow and shot an arrow.
A ray of light flashed by, and the surface of the lake not far away rippled as if it had been sliced open by a knife. A person hiding in the lake was killed on the spot by an arrow. Judging from his attire, he did not seem to be from either side of the battle just now.
Yan Beihong quickly went to search, and when he returned, he brought back an official jade archive. He tossed it to Yan Xiu and said, "This is the mountain god of this place."
Yan Xiu took a look at the jade archive, then said in a hoarse voice, "Search the surroundings. Leave no one alive."
The two of them quickly split up to search, and also cleaned up the battlefield...
In the starry sky, Xiong Qi was flying alone. The demonic monk Nan Bo's voice resounded in his mind, "Tian Yuan is dead, Hu Lin is also dead. Although I have placed a restriction on Bi Yue, I can't contact her. See if anyone can contact her. I have already been exposed. After Niu Youde knows about this, he will definitely react. Bi Yue should not have returned to the Netherworld yet.
He had used Hu Lin's physical body to cast his arts, and Bi Yue had left behind the Star Bell. Now that Hu Lin was dead, even if he had the Star Bell, he wouldn't be able to contact the transcendence seal on the Star Bell.
Xiong Qi was stunned. He really didn't know how to contact Bi Yue. "Senior, I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome. If the Ying Clan was still around, it might be easier. Even if we can find some connections to contact her now, I'm afraid it's not good to let the person who relays the message know! I wonder if she can understand the hint. If she can, I'll contact Zuo 'er and ask her to think of a way. She should know more about the situation … But Senior has already been exposed. I'm afraid Bi Yue won't be of much use anymore. "
Nan Bo said, "This woman isn't as simple as Tian Yuan's wife. She has another background. Keeping her alive is still useful. Ask Zuo 'er to contact her as soon as possible."
Xiong Qi had no choice but to take out the Star Bell and contact Zuo 'er...
Bi Yue, who was speeding through the starry sky, took out the Star Bell. After contacting someone, her expression changed slightly.
She put away the Star Bell and pretended as if nothing had happened. Suddenly, she said to her left and right, "There seems to be a celestial street nearby. I'm going there to buy something."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the four people behind her suddenly appeared and forced her to stop, trapping her in the middle.
Without any warning, the four of them attacked at almost the same time.
At such a close distance, and with their cultivation far exceeding Bi Yue's, Bi Yue didn't even have the strength to fight back. She was captured on the spot.
The restrained Bi Yue struggled and shouted, "What are you trying to do?"
"I'm sorry. This is the Governor's order. Sorry for the offense!" One of them said and immediately captured her.
The four of them continued on their way. At the same time, the person who captured Bi Yue contacted the Governor's Manor and informed them that Bi Yue had been captured.
This was indeed Miao Yi's order. When Miao Yi received Yan Xiu's report, he was also shocked. He immediately informed the four of them to keep an eye on Bi Yue. It would be fine if Bi Yue returned obediently. However, if there were any abnormalities, they were to capture her immediately. He specifically requested to capture her alive.
Miao Yi didn't know if there was something wrong with Bi Yue. It was purely a precaution. If there was nothing wrong, he would naturally be able to explain it to Bi Yue when he returned. There wouldn't be any misunderstandings. It could be said that it was better to be prepared than not.
At the same time, Miao Yi also urgently notified Hao Defang and asked her to send troops to strictly investigate the star gates in that galaxy. Even though he knew that this kind of investigation might not be effective against people at the level of Xiong Qi and Demonic Monk Nan Bo, he still had to do it.
When Hao Defang heard about Demonic Monk Nan Bo, she was shocked and asked him how he knew?
Miao Yi could only say that he had received a report. However, he was vague and didn't explain it clearly.
However, Hao Defang didn't dare to be careless. She knew that Miao Yi had no reason to joke around with her, so she immediately sent more troops.
Not long after, Yan Xiu and Yan Beihong rushed over from the starry sky and caught up to the four of them.
Seeing that the four of them were fine, Yan Xiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He and Miao Yi were also worried that there might be something wrong with the four of them as well. They had no choice but to order them to capture Bi Yue. After all, there was no one else around her.
Even though the four of them were fine, Yan Xiu still kept an eye on them along the way.
At almost the same time, on a certain planet, Xiong Qi's hidden subordinates were also quickly moving away. They had no choice. So many of their subordinates had fallen into Niu Youde's hands. They were worried that Niu Youde would pry open their mouths and capture them all in one fell swoop. They had no choice but to move and find another hiding place.
In the Netherworld Governor's Manor, Miao Yi stood on the steps outside the Assembly Hall with his hands behind his back. Yang Zhaoqing stood beside him with his hands by his side.
When Murong Xinghua passed by the plaza, she saw them and couldn't just ignore them.
After greeting Miao Yi, Murong Xinghua casually asked, "Milord, may I know when Madam will return?"
Miao Yi chuckled condescendingly. He didn't want to talk about Yun Zhiqiu's whereabouts or when she would return, so he changed the topic and said, "Are you bored now that Madam isn't here? Murong, I don't want to criticize you, but cultivators are humans too. They have emotions and desires. It's not a good idea for you to stay single forever. Have you ever considered finding someone more suitable? "
Murong Xinghua's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Yun Zhiqiu had joked with her about this before, saying that since he didn't treat her as an outsider, he could just let her be his concubine. Now that Miao Yi brought this up, she thought that Miao Yi was thinking of taking her as a concubine. Her ears heated up a little.
"I'm just a withered flower. Who would want me?" Murong Xinghua tried her best to remain calm and smiled.
"What are you saying?" Miao Yi shook his head. He turned to Yang Zhaoqing and asked, "Be reasonable. How can Murong say that she's a withered flower?"
Yang Zhaoqing couldn't help but laugh and said, "That's not true. You're a pure, noble, and untainted lotus. There are so many people who want to be friends with Lord Murong, but they can't. As far as I know, there are quite a few generals in the Heavenly Plan Manor who are in love with Lord Murong. It's just that Lord Murong doesn't appreciate their affection."
Murong Xinghua smiled but didn't say anything. Indeed, there were quite a few people who were pursuing her. However, she was well aware that even though she was quite pretty, she was still divorced by Cao Wanxiang. With that kind of past, how many men would truly want to marry her? It wasn't like they couldn't find beautiful women. To put it bluntly, it was because of her relationship with the Governor and the Governor's wife in the Governor's Office that they wanted to use to further their own careers.
Deep down, she knew that as long as she married out of the Governor's Office, she would be taken. If the person she married was of an unsuitable status, it would be inconvenient for her to continue living in the Governor's Office. It wasn't like some of the things that happened in the Governor's Office could be leaked to the outside world.
"That's right!" Miao Yi chuckled and said, "Murong, just tell me who you like. I will personally act as a matchmaker for you. I will definitely make things happen for you!"
Only then did Murong Xinghua realize that she was overthinking things. It seemed like Miao Yi was going to act as a matchmaker for her. She quickly raised her eyes to look at Miao Yi. She couldn't hide the complicated emotions in her heart. She smiled and said, "I appreciate Lord Murong's good intentions. Actually, it's quite good to be alone … If Lord Murong feels that it's not suitable for me to stay in the Governor's Office, then I will move out." Her last sentence sounded like a joke.
Miao Yi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Murong, don't talk nonsense. I have no intention of chasing you away. I just hope that you can find a good partner. The path of cultivation is long. Wouldn't it be lonely without someone to accompany you?"
At this moment, Yang Zhaoqing reminded him from the side, "Lord, you're back."
Miao Yi raised his eyes to look in the direction of the palace gates. He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Yan Xiu and Bi Yue, who had been inspected by the gate guards, walking side by side. Behind them, there were four people walking towards him together.
