He hurriedly stopped in midair, clutching his chest as he asked in shock, "Senior, what happened?"
Of course, he could sense that this change had nothing to do with him. His body was affected by the demonic monk Nan Bo.
The demonic monk Nan Bo's voice was cold, "The restriction I placed on Bi Yue has been broken by someone. It should be the guy who cultivates the Yin Soul Yang Art."
This was actually the reason why he didn't want to let Yan Xiu go in the beginning. He wanted to use Bi Yue to obtain the divine herb. When he saw that Yan Xiu could break his restriction, he naturally wanted to kill him. That was why he didn't want to leave. However, God disposes.
Xiong Qi was silent. It seemed like the restriction was broken, and the person who placed the restriction suffered a backlash. He couldn't point it out, so he only sighed, "It seems like I worked for nothing!" There was one more thing he didn't say, and he even lost so many people.
The demonic monk Nan Bo sneered, "It's not like I didn't come out empty-handed!"
"Senior, are you alright?" Xiong Qi asked in concern.
"I'm fine. Continue on your way."
In the side hall, Yang Zhaoqing rushed over to support the swaying Yan Xiu, asking, "What happened to you?"
Yan Xiu shook his head, "This demonic monk is indeed powerful. I had to use all my strength to break his restriction."
Miao Yi crouched down beside Bi Yue and checked her condition. After confirming that she was only unconscious, he relaxed and raised his head, asking, "Why did you vomit blood? Are you alright?"
Yan Xiu replied, "It's not a big problem. My mind is just damaged. I'll recover with some time." His gaze fell on the unconscious Bi Yue, "Fortunately, I didn't let her down. Her brain wasn't damaged. She should be fine now."
He stood up and looked at the Soul Summoning Banner, "What are those glowing golden threads?"
Yan Xiu replied, "It's my first time seeing this thing, so I'm not too sure either. But it should be something spiritual that has taken physical form. It attaches itself to a person's brain and has a strong control over them. It can't be dispelled by cultivation or transcendence energy. However, once it enters my Soul Summoning Banner, it can no longer cause harm. The banner will refine it." He put away the banner.
"That's good." Miao Yi nodded, saying, "Rest for now! Let's go back and see if we can get some information from the mouths of those people we've captured. It would be best if we can destroy the nest of the demonic monks! "As he said this, his eyes revealed a hint of killing intent.
Yan Xiu didn't argue. He went to a side room, consumed the Glorious Star immortal herb, and sat down cross-legged.
Yang Qing went out to summon the maidservant who usually served Bi Yue and carried the unconscious Bi Yue back to her own courtyard.
After leaving the side hall, Miao Yi furrowed his brows in silence.
Yang Zhaoqing, who was accompanying him, comforted him, "Don't worry, Sir. Since Yan Xiu said it's been lifted, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Zhaoqing, there are some things you don't know. Biyue isn't just Tian Yuan's wife. The reason why she took care of me so much back in Heaven's Avenue was because she had another identity. She had a husband named Haiyuan Ke …" There were some things that he couldn't tell Yang Zhaoqing back then, but now that things had come to this, he didn't plan on hiding the truth about Purgatory from Yang Zhaoqing. After all, with Yang Zhaoqing's current identity, he would need to know some things in order to be more thorough in his work. Thus, Miao Yi briefly explained everything to Yang Zhaoqing.
Yang Zhaoqing was dumbfounded. The Boundless Path's general, Haiyuan Ke, was also Biyue's husband? Hai Pingxin was actually Biyue and Haiyuan Ke's daughter? His Excellency was actually the Six Paths Divine King? This string of confidential information was a little hard for him to digest. He didn't expect his Excellency to have already subdued the Six Paths, and still have an elite force in the dark.
He didn't know if he should be worried for Miao Yi or happy for him. He was happy because Miao Yi's influence was much greater than what he saw. As Miao Yi's trusted aide and steward, his status would naturally rise as well.
He vaguely realized that Yan Xiu probably knew this secret. That was why Yan Xiu had pursued the Demonic Monk Nan Bo at all costs.
After regaining his composure, Yang Zhaoqing asked with a serious expression, "Is my Excellency worried that the Demonic Monk Nan Bo has already found out about this secret from Biyue?"
Miao Yi said solemnly, "Actually, Biyue's knowledge is limited. She only knows that I am from the Six Paths, but she doesn't know that I am the Six Paths Divine King."
Yang Zhaoqing said, "Even so, based on what Biyue knows, if this secret really falls into the hands of the Demonic Monk Nan Bo, it will be a huge threat to my Excellency."
Miao Yi nodded, "That is what I am worried about. Have someone keep an eye on Biyue. When she wakes up, inform me immediately."
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing nodded. He knew that he had to confirm whether Biyue had leaked the secret or not.
After Yang Zhaoqing left, Fei Hong came over in shock. "My Excellency, how did Sister Biyue get carried out?" She had just witnessed it.
Miao Yi grabbed her hand and patted it gently. He didn't try to fool her and said honestly, "Fei Hong, there are many things that you don't understand. Some things are not convenient to tell you now. You will slowly understand in the future."
Fei Hong didn't feel bad when she heard this. At least he wasn't lying to her. She nodded, "I understand."
She had started to take on some responsibilities at home. Putting aside the fact that the Heavenly Kings didn't attend court, the Sky Palace had been trying to give Miao Yi a position in the Imperial Court, but Miao Yi had politely rejected them. He didn't go to the Sky Palace at all because he knew that he might be detained if he did. Whenever Xiahou Chengyu asked him to go, he would always find an excuse to refuse. Even Yun Zhiqiu didn't go there anymore. In the early days, some of the tasks were handed over to Fei Hong, and Yun Zhiqiu would arrange for the carpenter and the others to follow and guide her.
Not only could Fei Hong avoid some danger for Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu, but it could also appease the Sky Court. At least the Sky Court would think that Fei Hong had gained Miao Yi's complete trust and would be of great use in a critical moment. Hence, the Sky Court didn't react too strongly. In short, both sides were scheming against each other, both openly and secretly.
However, Xiahou Chengyu didn't seem to like Fei Hong very much. He treated her coldly, which was completely different from how he treated Yun Zhiqiu. First of all, Xiahou Chengyu wasn't too happy with Miao Yi's display of power, and secondly, he didn't like women who were considered legal wives.
Fei Hong had suffered a little when she was with the Heavenly Empress, but she was treated with respect by the other forces. After all, with Miao Yi's current strength, Fei Hong's knowledge and outlook had been greatly improved. Her lifestyle and mentality had undergone earth-shattering changes, and she had become more confident. She had truly treated this place as her home for the rest of her life.
Back when she was under the control of the Left Department of the Overseers, she never thought she would have such a life in the future.
She knew that after she was put in an important position by Miao Yi, her mother would also have a better life in the Left Department of the Overseers. The Left Department of the Overseers would often express their goodwill to her. Every time she went to the Sky Palace, the Left Department of the Overseers would arrange for the mother and daughter to meet in the Imperial Garden. She could tell that her mother's complexion was improving. From what she heard, she didn't have to do those menial jobs anymore.
Miao Yi wrapped an arm around her slender waist, and the two of them chatted in a low voice …
The next day, Yan Xiu carried out Miao Yi's arrangements. First, he inspected the four people sent to protect Bi Yue. After confirming that there were no problems with them, Miao Yi immediately ordered for them to be released. At the same time, he rewarded the four of them to appease them. They had suffered a small scare, but nothing happened. They even received a reward. Naturally, the four of them were happy.
As for the two thousand people who had been controlled, compared to Bi Yue, it was much easier for Yan Xiu to deal with them. He easily removed the restrictions on them. Yang Zhaoqing would take care of the compensation for those who had died in battle. With Yan Xiu around, it was too easy to pry open the mouths of those who had been captured by Xiong Qi's subordinates.
After leaving the dungeon, Miao Yi ordered, "Immediately inform Kou Lingxu to send troops to encircle and annihilate them!"
Yang Zhaoqing hesitated. "Milord, with so many people captured, it would be hard for Xiong Qi not to be on guard. I'm afraid they have already moved elsewhere. Informing Kou Lingxu to encircle and annihilate them won't be of much use. I suggest we secretly report them. Even if we don't find anything, Kou Lingxu can't blame us."
Miao Yi nodded. "Let's do as you say."
"What do we do with these people?" Yang Zhaoqing turned to look at the dungeon and asked.
"Let Yan Xiu dig for a while first. Let's see how much he can dig up."
"Almost a thousand people. I'm afraid it will take quite some time."
"We'll dig slowly. Send those we dig up to South Town Planet and hand them over to Yan Beihong. He will take care of them." Miao Yi smiled bitterly.
For now, Yang Zhaoqing didn't know Yan Beihong's secret. He didn't know why he wanted Yan Beihong to deal with it, nor why Miao Yi was smiling bitterly.
The truth was that Yan Beihong's cultivation had reached such a high level that the devil art he cultivated required too many resources. There was no longer any meaning in finding a few minor cultivators to work on. However, now that he knew the origins of the devil art, he didn't dare to expose it. This also meant that he wouldn't dare to make a move on others. Giving these thousand people to Yan Beihong would save him a lot of trouble. Yan Beihong would definitely be overjoyed.
Bi Yue had been in hibernation for quite a long time this time. Even the spiritual medicine didn't work. She only woke up after sleeping for a few days.
When Miao Yi heard the news, he immediately rushed to Bi Yue's courtyard.
Yang Zhaoqing dismissed the servants and went straight into Bi Yue's room.
Bi Yue's complexion had improved a little. She was lying on the bed with her hair disheveled. When she saw Miao Yi enter, she rolled her eyes and said angrily, "A man running into a woman's room. Even if you're not afraid of being misunderstood, I'm afraid that your family will turn jealous." She still remembered how Miao Yi had captured her and tortured her.
Miao Yi immediately pulled out a chair and sat beside the bed. He smiled and said, "Holding a grudge? It seems like you still remember some things. Do you still remember how you met Tian Yuan? "
As she said this, Bi Yue fell silent. She slowly said, "I think I'm being controlled."
Miao Yi said, "That's right. You're being controlled by Demonic Monk Nan Bo."
"Demonic Monk Nan Bo?" Bi Yue was shocked. She immediately sat up on the bed.
Miao Yi nodded and said, "Don't panic. I've already dispelled it for you. What matters now is how many secrets did Demonic Monk Nan Bo learn from you, especially about Purgatory. "
