Hearing his words, Miao Yi agreed with him after some thought. He nodded and said, "On the other hand, if he hadn't taken over the remnants of the Six Paths to deal with Lord Qing and the others, there would have been no one else but the Xiahou clan who could have forced him to act so covertly. From the looks of it, he was still a step too slow. Xiahou Ta saw him as a threat and didn't give him the chance to prepare at all. He acted decisively and struck first! "
Yang Qing said, "It can be said that Lord Qing and the others made a bad move by eliminating that person. Otherwise, if Lord Qing and the others had allied with that person to deal with the Xiahou clan, the Xiahou clan would have been in danger. But then again, maybe the Xiahou clan was willing to work behind the scenes to make Lord Qing and the others feel that the threat wasn't that great, and that they could slowly deal with it later. But after so many years, reality has proven that Lord Qing and the others have no way to deal with the Xiahou clan. After inquiring about what happened that year, if it wasn't for this group of people holding that woman hostage and grabbing that person's weakness, this group of people might not have been able to do anything to that person. Even so, that person's clone still managed to escape under those circumstances, leaving a difficult situation in the Demon Sealing Pagoda. That group of people didn't dare to act rashly. Now that he's making a comeback, he's using you as a pawn to compete with them! I'm curious as to what kind of person that woman is, to be able to make such a talented and peerless man willing to suffer so much. I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet her. "
Miao Yi wasn't interested in that woman. He was only brooding over the fact that he was a pawn. He muttered, "I can't feel his interference at all. Does he really trust a pawn like me to act on my own?"
Seeing that Miao Yi was a little unwilling to accept reality, the situation was gradually becoming clear. Yang Qing couldn't understand why Miao Yi was so unwilling to accept reality. He said bitterly, "Milord, since he can control the overall situation, how far can you deviate from it? Besides, his actions can't be too obvious. Otherwise, it will alert those people, and your pawn will be ruined. Since he could pick you, there's a reason. Why don't you take a look at the small world and see what the situation is like there? Now, it seemed that this was a test that he had set up from start to finish. Only those who passed his test were qualified to come to the great world. Even after coming to the great world, there was reason to suspect that this was also his test from the beginning. Those who could adapt would be used, and those who could not would be abandoned. He could consider other candidates at any time. Now, it seems that it was only after Daren entered the Ghost City that he truly passed his test, and entered the overall situation that he pushed forward, and became a real chess piece in his hands. In other words, he doesn't need you to have the ability to strategize the world's big picture. He will move the big picture on his own. He only needs someone who can survive under the big picture he's pushing! "
Miao Yi remained silent, his gaze solemn.
Yang Qing continued, "There is one thing that can prove it. That spy in the Celestial Court has been helping Milord so much, yet he has been unwilling to be honest with Milord. This means that the spy is very important to him. Even if Milord is crippled, the spy cannot be exposed. Why? If we change a chess piece, that hidden stake will still be able to affect the overall situation! "
Miao Yi slowly closed his eyes as he recalled the time when he and that person were on the bamboo raft as they traveled down the river. That person told him that once he embarked on this path, there was no turning back. He told him to think thrice before he acted, but he was resolute.
"You've probably been holding back these words for a long time, haven't you? What do you mean by saying it now? "Miao Yi didn't open his eyes as he slowly asked.
Yang Qing cupped his fists and said, "Milord, I only hope that Milord knows what to do. That person is truly unfathomable, and must be guarded against! The situation has developed to this point, and the hearts of the tens of millions of elites in the Nether Hell are all yours. As long as Milord gives the order, they will be able to move like an extension of your arm. You will have the advantage that others don't have, and this is the perfect opportunity to conspire for a great cause. You mustn't work for nothing, and in the end, become an abandoned pawn and work for others! "
The date of the wedding was the next day.
Inside the boudoir, Pang Yuniang was like a puppet, at the mercy of the servants. She constantly changed into new clothes, and constantly changed her head ornaments, for fear of making a mistake. She was trying on the dress one last time, in order to confirm if there was anything wrong with it.
Cha Ruyan and Pang Xiaoxiao watched from the side. It was hard to tell if their expressions were happy or sad.
Outside, Chen Huaijiu led a group of stewards to patrol the area. They were doing a final check to see if everything was in place.
As he walked through a winding corridor, the crowd suddenly separated to the left and right, giving way to Pang Guan who was walking over.
Pang Guan walked through the crowd expressionlessly.
Among the people present, only Chen Huaijiu could understand the Master's current mood the best. If it wasn't for the fact that it was inconvenient for him to lose his temper, the Master would have definitely stopped the wedding. However, he had no choice but to brace himself and continue.
Pang Guan walked up the steps of the winding corridor and took out a Star Bell. After contacting it somewhere, he suddenly clenched the Star Bell in his hand tightly. He abruptly turned to look at Chen Huaijiu, his eyes gleaming, and then quickly left.
Chen Huaijiu understood and ordered the other Stewards to conduct a strict and detailed inspection. Soon after, he left the crowd and went on his way.
He caught up to Pang Guan and transmitted his voice to ask, "What instructions does the Master have?"
Pang Guan didn't say a word until he entered the study room, where no one was allowed to casually approach. Only then did he suddenly turn around and grit his teeth, "We've been tricked by that old thief, Hao Defang!"
Chen Huaijiu said in surprise, "Why do you say so, Master?"
Pang Guan said, "Cao Man has just received the news that Hao Defang has stopped the journey on the surface, but in fact, his personal army is still secretly preparing."
"How could Cao Man know the secret movements of Hao Defang's personal army … Alas!" Chen Huaijiu patted his head fiercely. Needless to say, the Xiahou Family must have spies in Hao Defang's personal army. Chen Huaijiu immediately said with a face of annoyance, "The old thief is really treacherous. That's right. The so-called cancellation of the journey is entirely possible to prevent any possible danger from happening!"
Pang Guan grabbed his arm and said fiercely, "Fortunately, I got the news from Cao Man in advance, otherwise, it would be too late! God really didn't let me down. Tomorrow is destined to be the day of the old thief's death! Now quickly inform the brothers below to carry out the plan as usual. Pick up all the things that have been put down. We must be in place before the old thief arrives. Remember, tell them to be extremely careful and not to leak any information! "His eyes were shining with excitement. It could be said that he had completely pulled himself together from the blow.
"Yes!" Chen Huaijiu responded and reminded, "Master, if we hurry now, Niu Youde's people can still arrive."
"That's right!" Pang Guan nodded.
The master and servant immediately took out their respective Star Bells in the study and contacted the people they wanted to contact.
When Chen Huaijiu finished informing the two of them, he noticed that Pang Guan's expression had calmed down and was slightly frowning. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, did Niu Youde go back on his word?"
Pang Guan muttered, "It's not that he went back on his word, but he thought that Hao Defang wouldn't attend the wedding. Those who went back have already dispersed and returned to their positions. If we suddenly inform him and gather an army in such a short time, it would be too abnormal. He's afraid that the old thief will be alerted … His worries aren't unfounded. At this time, we must not let the old thief suspect anything. The army of the Netherworld won't be able to come again, but he will make preparations to cooperate with us. Once we make our move, their army will also come out and join us!"
Chen Huaijiu said, "Anyone can say such things. It's better to be careful. Send Duan Chun 'er over to supervise the army immediately."
"Mn!" Pang Guan nodded and contacted Miao Yi with the Star Bell in his hand again.
Inside the Netherworld Governor's Manor, Miao Yi sat in the main hall and put away the Star Bell. He gritted his teeth and said, "That damned bastard. He's really cautious. He's afraid that I'll be too relaxed. He won't rest until he finds some trouble for me!"
Yang Zhaoqing and Yang Qing looked over at the same time. Yang Zhaoqing asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Miao Yi scoffed, "That old bastard Pang Guan still hasn't given up on his evil intentions. At this time, he still sent Duan Chun 'er back to monitor our movements. If we don't make any moves when the time comes, I'm afraid Pang Guan will suspect that we're up to no good! It looks like I informed him a little too early. If I wasn't worried that he wouldn't be prepared, I would've let him know later! "
Yang Qing smiled faintly and raised his palm, "There's nothing to worry about. I've already prepared for this. I'm just afraid I'll have to trouble Brother Yan to help out!"
Yang Zhaoqing looked at Yan Xiu, who was standing behind Miao Yi. Miao Yi also looked back and revealed a strange smile. He could roughly guess Yang Qing's intentions.
Yang Qing continued, "It's fine if Duan Chun 'er doesn't come. If she does, I have a plan that I can use to increase her chances of success in protecting Milord by thirty percent!"
"Oh!" Miao Yi's eyes lit up. "I'd like to hear the details!"
Yang Qing stepped forward and whispered, "All is fair in war …"
Yang Zhaoqing nodded and smiled. Yan Xiu looked at Yang Qing with a complicated expression, as if he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"Mister, if you have such a good plan, why didn't you reveal it earlier?" Miao Yi exclaimed. He slammed the table and stood up, exclaiming excitedly, "Good! What a brilliant plan! All is fair in war indeed. With such a brilliant plan, why would I have to worry about the southern army's territory? Even if Duan Chun 'er doesn't come, I must find a way to invite her here! "
Early the next morning, Duan Chun 'er came as expected. Miao Yi was extremely excited, but he had been waiting for her for a long time, afraid that she wouldn't come!
After meeting her once, Miao Yi made the necessary arrangements and handed Duan Chun 'er over to Yan Xiu to deal with.
Inside Vast Heaven King's manor, Hao Defang and the others came out from the side door after changing their appearances. They quickly took to the skies and pierced through the clouds, followed by the hundreds of guards hidden in the clouds. Together, they charged towards the stars.
Outside the heavily guarded Vast King Star, their journey was unimpeded.
Even though there weren't many guards accompanying them, there was actually a huge army hidden in the shadows. Along the way, they had already set up a vanguard to clear the obstacles in front of them.
Under normal circumstances, when Hao Defang was about to set out, there would already be people lying in ambush inside and outside the stargate. Just as Hao Defang was about to arrive, more troops would immediately appear and clear the area around the stargate. Once Hao Defang had successfully passed through, the troops that had appeared would quickly disappear again.
But now, because of the demonic monk Nan Bo's incident, even though it wasn't a normal situation, the guards of the stargate along the way would suddenly notice that there were quite a few troops suddenly appearing and temporarily taking over the stargate. They wouldn't even bother to investigate before quickly returning control of the stargate.
