Hao Defang was taken aback. This bastard actually had the same intentions as Pang Guan, wanting to swallow his southern army's territory?
Pang Guan choked, his eyes widening in disbelief. He thought Miao Yi was on Lord Qing's side. Who would've thought he had such a huge appetite, wanting to swallow the entire southern army's territory with his tiny mouth? In that instant, he seemed to have understood something. Whatever brilliant plan of obeying Lord Qing's will was pure nonsense. Miao Yi had fooled Hao Defang with one hand, and fooled him with the other. Miao Yi had allowed this bastard to take advantage of the entire southern army's territory without taking any risks. Pang Guan had actually helped this bastard destroy himself. Even after being betrayed, he was still helping him count the money!
He understood now. From the very beginning, he had been tricked. From the very beginning, he had been used as a pawn.
Pang Guan trembled in anger when he thought about how he had voluntarily offered his daughter to this bastard. He pointed at Miao Yi and bellowed, "You … Pfft!" His anger overwhelmed him, and he lost control of his mind. He spat out a mouthful of blood in front of everyone, his eyes rolling back!
"Marshal!" His subordinates cried out in alarm, rushing to support him.
"Master, Master …" Cha Ruyan and the other wives and concubines were also frightened out of their wits.
"Father!" Pang Xiaoxiao cried out in grief as she watched her father vomit blood in anger. However, Miao Yi held onto her tightly, refusing to let her go.
"Wahaha …" Hao Defang, who was standing guard in the middle of the army, suddenly threw his head back and laughed maniacally. He finally understood something. He pointed at Pang Guan and laughed mockingly, "Oh Pang Guan, oh Pang Guan. This prince has nurtured a tiger only to invite calamity. Yet, you have invited the wolf into the house, and are now working for someone else. Don't you feel sad? You are even more laughable than this prince! "
The troops of the Hao faction and the Pang faction looked at each other in dismay. They had fought with their lives on the line for so long, and now it was someone else who had the advantage.
"Niu Youde!" After laughing for a while, Hao Defang suddenly shouted at Miao Yi, "Let us go! I will give you the territory of the Southern Army, and I will support you with all my might!" This was his last chance at survival. Naturally, he had to fight for it.
Miao Yi tilted his head and stared at him coldly, not saying a word.
Bluemoon gazed at Hao Defang with a complicated expression and shouted, "Your Highness, all of your family members have died in battle and hundreds of your wives have surrendered. Lu Long wanted to bestow your wives to his subordinates for fun, but Governor Niu said that these are Heavenly Monarch Hao's wives and concubines. How can they be profaned at will? He urged Lu Long to leave some face for Your Highness. It was the Governor who forcefully ordered all of your wives and concubines to be shot to death so that they wouldn't be humiliated! "
Hao Defang understood. Niu Youde would not let him go after killing his entire family. With such a great hatred, Niu Youde would not let him go. If he really wanted to give him a chance to live, he would protect his wives and concubines and not kill them.
"Alright! That group of bitches did a good job. They did leave this king some face. This king appreciates this favor! " Hao Defang slowly nodded his head. He met Miao Yi's gaze for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and pointed to his subordinates around him, loudly declaring, "These brothers have followed this Prince for their entire lives. They have gone through thick and thin with this Prince. They are loyal and devoted, and even till now, they have fought to the death without surrendering! You also need people to work for you. I will have them surrender to you and serve you. As long as you let them go, this Prince's life is yours! "
"Your Highness!" A group of subordinates were agitated. They said all sorts of things and expressed that they were willing to go through fire and water with him.
Hao Defang raised his hand to stop them. He then reached out to grab Su Yun's wrist and raised it up, emphasizing, "I still have some influence in the outside world. Su Yun is in charge of this Prince's business in the open and in the dark. You can use it as well. Let her go. Let them go. Everything behind this Prince's back will be yours!"
"Your Highness!" Su Yun grabbed his hand and shook her head forcefully, tears streaming down her face.
What he said made Miao Yi feel a little excited. He didn't think that Hao Defang would be able to hold on until now. Before this, he didn't think that he would be able to obtain such benefits from Hao Defang either. If he could obtain Hao Defang's influence in the open and in the dark, it would be of great help to him.
Miao Yi coldly said, "Why should I believe that they will listen to me?"
Hao Defang immediately looked around and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, listen up. You don't owe this Prince anything. This Prince is the one who owes you. This Prince has wronged you. You all still have children. Live on. Live well. Only then will this Prince have a clear conscience! Generals, listen up! Convey this Prince's order to the four corners. Let the past go with the wind. There is no enmity between this Prince and Niu Youde. From now on, Niu Youde will represent this Prince. The rest of this Prince's subordinates will listen to his orders! "
"Your Highness …" Su Yun was unwilling.
Hao Defang glared at her angrily, "This Prince has dominated the world for his entire life. How can I die in the hands of an enemy?!"
Su Yun's beautiful eyes stared blankly at him. Her emotions slowly calmed down and she slowly let go of her hands. Silent tears flowed down her cheeks. She was the person who understood him the most. She was his confidante in this life. She knew that it was useless to say anything more.
The surrounding troops lowered their heads in dejection.
Hao Defang suddenly turned to look at Miao Yi, "Are you satisfied now, Little Brother?"
Miao Yi calmly said, "As long as they don't betray me and obey Your Highness's orders, I will let them go. I will let bygones be bygones!"
"Good! Based on the fact that you killed my wives and concubines to protect my reputation, this Prince will believe you! Take it! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Defang abruptly slid his blade across his neck. He then raised his hand and removed his own head, throwing it towards Miao Yi. It was a clean and efficient move that exceeded everyone's expectations!
Blood sprayed out, and his limbs trembled slightly. He still stood upright in the starry sky, but his limbs gradually weakened. He slowly loosened his grip on his blade.
Chopping off a Heavenly King's head was very easy.
He knew that there was no way out for him. He had lost the upper hand, so he decisively used his own life to fight for a way out for his subordinates!
The starry sky where the two armies were locked in a standoff instantly fell silent. Everyone was dumbfounded. Su Yun's beautiful eyes widened, and Hao Defang's subordinates stared blankly at the mutilated body.
Even Pang Guan, who had just regained his senses, was staring at the scene in a daze. As the saying goes, it's better to live than to die. He asked himself honestly, and knew that he didn't have the courage to do so. He was shocked, and understood the difference between him and Hao Defang!
A head flew out, dripping with blood. It wasn't thrown with much force, and it floated towards Miao Yi due to inertia.
None of the surrounding Pang Family troops dared to stop it. They all took the initiative to step aside, opening a path for the head to pass through.
Everyone saw from Hao Defang what it meant to be a king if you won, and a bandit if you lost. Hao Defang had displayed it to the fullest. The winner would be king, and the loser would simply slit their own throats!
As he watched the head slowly fly towards him, the shock in Miao Yi's heart was indescribable. He didn't expect Hao Defang to be so decisive.
He couldn't help but think of Ying Jiuguang. He clearly had a chance to escape, but he didn't want to. And now, Hao Defang wasn't willing to let him go either!
A surge of transcendence energy surged out from Miao Yi's body, stopping the floating head about ten feet in front of him. He didn't take it, nor did he let anyone take it.
Beside him, Pang Xiaoxiao was flustered. She temporarily forgot about the danger on her father's side. She lowered her head, not daring to meet Hao Defang's glare.
Everyone was staring at Miao Yi and Hao Defang's heads.
Miao Yi's cheeks tightened. Suddenly, he waved his hand, and the transcendence energy he released bounced the head back. He shouted, "Bury her!"
All the emotions that should and shouldn't be felt were contained in these two words.
She returned very quickly. Su Yun received the severed head in her arms and hugged it tightly. Finally, she burst into heart-wrenching cries.
She was filled with regret. She regretted not giving in to him. She regretted not agreeing to marry him. Now she no longer had the chance to accompany him. Tears blurred her vision, but the past was still vivid in her mind.
Left Governor Yan Xiao's lips trembled. Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee in the air. The remaining Hao Family troops also knelt down on one knee, silently kneeling before Hao Defang's body. Only Su Yun was covered in tears. She hugged the head and sobbed bitterly.
Miao Yi didn't look at Hao Defang anymore. He turned around, grabbed Pang Xiaoxiao's hand, and floated towards Pang Guan's side. A large number of experts followed to protect them, and they were on high alert.
In the current situation, Miao Yi's position in the Netherworld Army was irreplaceable. No one dared to let anything happen to Miao Yi. It had nothing to do with Miao Yi's cultivation, but if something were to happen to him, everything that everyone had been waiting for would be lost. Everything they had now would also be finished. This was what a commander was!
Pang Xiaoxiao didn't know what he wanted to do, but she couldn't refuse Miao Yi's cultivation. She could only be dragged over.
As he confronted Pang Guan, Miao Yi gestured for the people in front of him to step aside. He pulled Pang Xiaoxiao to stand at the front, and looked at Pang Guan through the heavy troops on his side.
Soon, Pang Guan also came out from the crowd. He stared coldly at Miao Yi. The distance between them was less than three zhang.
Cha Ruyan, who followed him out, pleaded, "Niu Youde, Xiaoxiao is your woman. Don't hurt her!"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. I promise I won't hurt her. As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone hurt her so easily! As long as she doesn't turn her back on me, she will always be my beloved concubine! " Miao Yi promised. He tightened his grip on Pang Xiaoxiao's hand a little, as though he was transmitting his strength to Pang Xiaoxiao, telling her not to worry.
Pang Xiaoxiao lifted her head to look at him. She was a little confused. She couldn't understand him.
Miao Yi then looked at Pang Guan, whose lips were stained with blood. He calmly said, "Not only can I guarantee Xiaoxiao's safety, as long as father-in-law is willing, I can guarantee your safety as well. I can guarantee the safety of everyone in the Pang family!"
Pang Guan had already guessed his intentions. He pushed the trembling Cha Ruyan back to the back and bellowed, "Dream on!"
Miao Yi pulled Pang Xiaoxiao's hand and looked at her. "Xiaoxiao, do you wish for your father and I to meet on the battlefield?"
Pang Xiaoxiao shook her head in fear. "No! No!"
Even if she didn't know much about military affairs, she knew that her father was at a disadvantage right now. If they fought, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Miao Yi said, "As long as your father agrees to let his subordinates surrender to me, we will still be a family. I will guarantee the safety of everyone in the Pang family. I will guarantee that everyone in the Pang family will not have to worry about food or clothing!"
Pang Guan angrily said, "Niu Youde, you're using a woman as an excuse. What kind of person are you? Xiaoxiao, ignore this bastard. I won't let his evil scheme succeed even if I have to die! "
