In the blink of an eye, Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan had already charged past the two handmaidens. Although Chun Xue and Dong Xue were fine, the dragon steeds they were riding on let out a miserable neigh and fell to the ground. They were instantly slaughtered by the two Blue Lotus experts.
When Xiong Xiao's two personal attendants saw that the situation couldn't be salvaged, they turned around with the intention of fleeing, but it was already too late. They were intercepted by Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan, and after a brief exchange of blows, they were killed as well, causing them to spray blood as they fell to the ground.
Having lost their steeds, Chun Xue and Dong Xue cut a sorry figure. Knowing that they could not escape, they held their long sabers in their hands and stood back to back against each other. They were surrounded in the middle by the dozens of riders who were eyeing them like tigers watching their prey, unable to escape.
Miao Yi jumped down from Charcoal's back. His pair of Vicious Wolf War Boots landed on the ground, crunching noises could be heard as he stepped on the snow. His entire body of silver armor gleamed under the setting sun as he pressed forward with the Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand.
He stopped in front of her and raised his hand to lift the mask. Staring at Chun Xue, he sneered, "Huang Yue, long time no see! I don't want to make things difficult for you. As long as you tell me where Xiong Xiao is hiding and find a way to bring me to him, I promise to spare your lives! "
With the current situation, it would be troublesome to find Xiong Xiao again. Only two maids who knew him well could lead him to Xiong Xiao.
"Pei!" Chun Xue spat.
Miao Yi casually waved his hand, and a surge of transcendence energy forced the spit away. "Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! I'll give you one more chance! "
Chun Xue's pretty face instantly turned malevolent as she angrily cursed, "A butcher who sells meat on the street, a piece of trash who wags his tail and begs for pity in front of my Huang family's door. You're not worthy!"
Miao Yi was unmoved. He pointed his spear at Dong Xue and said, "She doesn't want this chance. I'll leave the last one to you."
"Little Sister, we can't escape death either way. Follow me and fight him to the death!" Chun Xue turned her head and said.
Dong Xue, whose face was pale, nodded. The two of them immediately rushed forward, brandishing their long sabers. They would rather die than betray Xiong Xiao.
Even those with a higher cultivation than Miao Yi were no match for him. Not to mention the fact that their cultivation was even lower than Miao Yi's. How could they possibly be a match for him? A cold glint flashed across Miao Yi's eyes, and the Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand struck out. Shining in the setting sun.
Bang! Bang!
Two long sabers came slashing towards him. The one in Dong Xue's hand was lifted into the air, while the one in Chun Xue's hand fell to the ground beside Miao Yi. Miao Yi stepped on the back of the saber, causing it to fall to the ground. It couldn't be shaken.
With an explosive sound, Dong Xue loosened her grip on the long saber. She lowered her head and looked at the bloody hole in her chest. The tip of the triangular spear, stained with blood, lightly touched her shoulder, and then she fell down powerlessly. He couldn't even block a single strike!
"Little sister!" Chun Xue, who had turned her head to look at the side, instantly cried out in grief with tears streaming down her face.
Once again, Miao Yi invoked his arts and stomped on the ground forcefully, tightly gripping the saber shaft in Chun Xue's hand and smashing it to the ground with a 'bang'.
Before she could react, the sharp triangular spearhead had moved from Dong Xue's side and hit her shoulder.
As soon as Miao Yi pulled his hand back, the sharp barbs on the spearhead had already hooked onto the back of her shoulder. Blood immediately gushed out, almost snapping the bones in her shoulder. He immediately hooked her over and exerted his strength to press down, immediately forcing Chun Xue to kneel before him. He was unable to stand up as he struggled.
"Bastard! Lowly scum, lowly commoner … "
Chun Xue, who had her shoulder hooked by the sharp barbs on the spearhead, couldn't move at all. She opened her mouth and cursed angrily, her eyes glaring at Miao Yi as if they were about to spit fire.
It was obvious from this situation that he couldn't make this woman cooperate with him no matter what.
Miao Yi looked down and didn't have any other thoughts. He indifferently said, "Us three siblings originally wanted to live our lives in peace, and we had no grudges with your Huang family. But your Huang family bullied us with your power, and repeatedly pressured us, refusing to let us go. You made us siblings suffer and unable to feed ourselves. You forced us to be unable to be together in life and death. You made me let down the spirits of my adoptive parents in heaven. Do you know the hatred in my heart? The reason why your Huang family bullied us with their power was also because of you. If I let you go today, I would be letting down my poor little brother and sister. Fine! From today onwards, the grudges between our families will be resolved! "
"Bastard! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go … "
Chun Xue didn't care and only knew how to curse non-stop.
Miao Yi coldly snorted, and switched to transmitting his voice, "Today, I might as well let you understand why you died. Your little brother died by my hands. Your father, who became the City Lord of Changfeng City, didn't die by the hands of others, but by my own hands. I will be merciful and send you to reunite with them right now! "
The reason why he transmitted his voice was because he couldn't leak the news of him killing Head Guard Huang, because the rules of the game were as such. If Yuan Fang and the others heard it, they would have something to use against him.
Chun Xue finally shut up, and stared at him with wide eyes. He was the one who killed her father …
In the end, hysteria erupted from her throat, "AHH! Bastard … "
A cold glint flashed past. Miao Yi didn't let her speak any more nonsense. The sharp spearhead casually sliced off Chun Xue's fair and tender neck. Her head flew up, and a mouthful of fragrant blood spurted out from the severed neck. She fell to the ground!
Expressionless, Miao Yi flew up from the ground, and lightly landed on Charcoal's back with his spear in hand.
A few of his subordinates quickly cleaned up the items on the corpses, and brought them to Miao Yi. There were some Orbs of Will.
Miao Yi was disinterested, as though for the first time, he wasn't too interested in Orbs of Will. His gaze swept across some of his injured subordinates. Fortunately, the battle had been quick, and his subordinates had only suffered some minor injuries. With a calm tone, he said, "Divide them among you."
Everyone happily thanked him.
Miao Yi glanced at Chun Xue's corpse, and let out a small sigh. The grudge between him and the Huang family had finally been settled. The son that the tofu shop's Old Li's daughter gave birth to for Old Huang better know his place. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind exterminating the entire Huang family!
"Go! Go back! "
Miao Yi shouted, and led his subordinates to take another route back to East Arrival Cave. The sound of hooves thundered as they left.
This time, the person they truly wanted to kill had escaped. But everyone knew that with such a large area, it would be difficult to find him again once they lost him. Searching aimlessly was completely useless, so they could only return...
The sky gradually darkened, and the curtain of night fell. A wave of rumbling hooves could be heard.
Over two hundred and ten riders galloped over under Xiong Xiao's lead. Other than the thirty or so men that Miao Yi's group had quickly slaughtered along the way, the remaining ninety of his subordinates from the various caves were all present.
What made him even more overjoyed was that the forces of the Sword Deviate Sect, Jade Lady Sect, and the School of Imperial Beasts had arrived much earlier than he had expected.
Yang Qing had once again allocated one hundred and twenty men to him. Among them, there were three Blue Lotus First Grade experts, which was why there were over two hundred and ten riders before him.
With the current harvest of two mountains, he could completely afford to support these troops.
With so many troops, and three Blue Lotus First Grade experts, Xiong Xiao was no longer afraid of Miao Yi's forces.
Even if the forces of the three major sects were not fully replenished, Xiong Xiao believed that he had already found a way to deal with Miao Yi's forces. That was to gather their dragon steeds and charge, regardless of the casualties. With the might of the charge of the dragon steeds, he didn't believe that they couldn't kill Miao Yi.
What's more, now that he had a strong army, Xiong Xiao was brimming with confidence.
However, Miao Yi's figure was nowhere to be seen. All he could see were a few corpses, and two dragon steeds that were reluctant to leave their former masters.
Xiong Xiao leapt off his dragon steed and hugged Chun Xue's corpse. In front of his subordinates, he buried his head in his hands and wailed loudly. He was truly heartbroken.
For those who could oversee a region, whether it was a Cave Master, Mountain Chieftain, Manor Head, Hall Master, or Palace Lord, the handmaidens by their side were different from the handmaidens of ordinary cultivators. They were all carefully selected. Not only were their looks top-notch, but they also had the aptitude for cultivation. Usually, they would be nurtured as the most trusted of trusted aides.
To him, Chun Xue and Dong Xue were the most trusted of trusted aides. They were also the women who shared the same bed with him, and were also the disciples that he had personally passed down his teachings to. When he was in closed-door cultivation, he could trust the two of them to handle certain matters.
He had once promised the two of them that one day, when his position was high and his authority was stable, he would have children with the two of them.
Now, everything had become a bubble. He had spent over twenty years to nurture the two women, who were now adept at handling matters for him, had died just like that. It would take a lot more time to nurture them again.
Most importantly, during the period of nurturing them again, he might have to personally worry about many miscellaneous matters. Newcomers were inexperienced, and it was impossible for them to help him handle matters the moment they got started. It would definitely distract him from his cultivation.
When he was still a Cave Master, he had already lost two of his personal handmaidens. Now, two more had died. Furthermore, these two had died in order to save him. It could be said that he was extremely distressed and sorrowful.
The two hundred men sitting on their dragon steeds behind him were silent. Everyone knew the importance of having two personal handmaidens to oversee a region. In terms of trusted aides, no one could compare to the Elder Auntie and Little Auntie by the Mountain Chieftain's side.
There were three people at the front of the group. One of them had six long swords strapped to his back, while the other had beast sacks hanging from his waist. They were both rather old men. The former was Tu Sanliang from the Sword Deviate Sect, while the latter was Ma Hu from the School of Imperial Beasts.
The flowery lady in the middle looked young, but her age was actually comparable to the previous two. It was just that the Jade Lady Sect was good at retaining youthful looks. Her name was Lan Ye, and she was dressed in a silvery muslin robe.
The three of them were Blue Lotus First Grade experts from the three major sects who were now under Xiong Xiao's command.
Seeing Xiong Xiao grieving and weeping for a long time, the three of them looked at each other, then jumped off their dragon steeds and walked over. As the representatives of the three major sects, they cupped their fists towards Xiong Xiao and said, "Mountain Chieftain, please restrain your grief!"
The words of these three people still carried some weight to Xiong Xiao. Xiong Xiao let go of the corpse and stood up. He faced the three of them and said in a pained voice, "Miao Yi, that bastard. I will definitely not let him go. I wonder if the three of you are willing to help me take revenge?"
The three of them looked at each other. On their way here, the three of them had already roughly understood the situation. Nearly seventy of them actually couldn't stop a dozen people. The three of them were a little surprised.
It had to be known that this wasn't a one-on-one duel where the one with a higher cultivation would have a higher chance of winning. In a chaotic battle with a large number of people, with the might of a flock of dragon steeds mixed in, it could even pose a huge threat to a Blue Lotus cultivator. It wasn't something that could be handled just by having a slightly higher cultivation.
However, they still couldn't handle so many people. They didn't know if it was because the people of Mount Shaotai were too useless, or if the dozen people were too powerful, but they were actually beaten into a complete mess by a Cave Master with a low cultivation.
"We are willing to obey the Mountain Chieftain's orders!" The three of them cupped their fists together. They had come here for a bright future, so how could they not be obedient when they had just arrived?
However, Tu Sanliang still added with some hesitation, "Mountain Chieftain, I just don't know if it's appropriate for us to do this. I heard that East Arrival Cave is under the jurisdiction of the Manor Head's foster daughter. If we kill her subordinates, will the Manor Head …"
