It would have been better if the matter hadn't been brought up. The moment it was brought up, Xiong Xiao's intestines turned green with regret.
The last time Miao Yi had sent someone to his Changfeng Cave to do something, he had already tolerated it for Yang Qing's sake. In the end, Miao Yi had become even more aggressive, and had almost taken his life.
It was because of his tolerance that two of his personal handmaidens were killed.
This time, Miao Yi had brazenly attacked his Mount Shaotai and killed two of his personal handmaidens. If he continued to endure and be a coward, he was afraid that he would become the laughing stock of the two Manors. Being forced into such a state by a Cave Master, he would no longer be able to stay in the two Manors anymore.
"If the Manor Head blames me, I will take responsibility. You were only following orders. The punishment will not be on your heads!"
Xiong Xiao took it all on himself. He would take responsibility if there was a problem.
Since he had already said this much, Tu Sanliang and the others, as newcomers, had nothing else to say. They could only comply.
Chen Fei, who was among the crowd, couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this scene. When he first met Miao Yi, he didn't realize that Miao Yi was such a daring person. But this time, he seemed to have completely angered Xiong Xiao. Miao Yi was probably in deep trouble.
The troops retreated and the dragon steeds galloped away. Chun Xue and Dong Xue's corpses were brought back to Mount Shaotai and placed in the Mount Shaotai Grand Hall.
"Chun Xue, Dong Xue. Don't worry. I won't let you die in vain. I will definitely flatten East Arrival Cave and take that bastard Miao Yi's head to accompany you in death!"
Facing the two corpses, Xiong Xiao's face was filled with grief as he swore a heavy oath in front of his subordinates.
At this moment, a spirit eagle landed on Mount Shaotai. One of his subordinates took the transmission jade archive and quickly rushed into the grand hall to hand it over to Xiong Xiao.
The jade archive was a transfer order from Yang Qing. He said that he had discovered some unusual movements in Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor and ordered Xiong Xiao to gather his troops and rush to the designated location.
After reading the contents, Xiong Xiao held the jade archive in his hand. Yang Qing's decree came at the right time. He had originally planned to lead a hundred men to deal with Miao Yi. Now that he had Yang Qing's decree, he could take the opportunity to gather all his troops and head to Mount Calming Sea to settle the matter.
But what worried him was that Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor had some unusual movements. Yang Qing would definitely inform Qin Weiwei as well. He didn't know if Qin Weiwei would also gather her forces. If she gathered Miao Yi as well, then it would be inconvenient for him to make his move.
He turned around and shouted, "Wu Zhanglin!"
"Present!" The cave masters under him stepped forward and cupped their fists.
"First, send someone to East Arrival Cave to scout out the situation. Let's see if Miao Yi and the rest have returned to East Arrival Cave. "
"Yes!" Wu Zhanglin quickly left the hall.
Meanwhile, Xiong Xiao immediately wrote a jade archive, accusing Miao Yi of his atrocities, and ordered someone to send it to Yang Qing.
There was no way he could conceal such a big matter. He had to report it to Yang Qing first. Otherwise, if he waited until the incident happened to explain, Yang Qing would think that he, Xiong Xiao, was not putting the Manor Head in his eyes.
He had estimated it. By the time Yang Qing received the news, he would have already rushed to East Arrival Cave to finish off Miao Yi, even if Yang Qing sent another decree back to him. When that time came, he would have a good reason to attack Miao Yi.
Wu Zhanglin walked out of the hall. His gaze swept across his subordinates, before landing on Chen Fei's face. With a wave of his hand, he beckoned him over and asked, "You've stayed in East Arrival Cave before, so I'm sure you're familiar with it."
Chen Fei was taken aback, not knowing what he meant. He cupped his fists and said, "Cave Master, yes!"
"Good! I'll give you two men. Immediately rush to East Arrival Cave … "Wu Zhanglin relayed Xiong Xiao's mission to Chen Fei.
Chen Fei was rather speechless. Why was he being made a spy again? It seemed like his experience in East Arrival Cave would always come in handy. He didn't know when East Arrival Cave would be able to calm down.
However, he still cupped his fists and accepted the order. Bringing along the two assistants that the Cave Master had assigned, they quickly galloped away under the night sky.
Not long after, Xiong Xiao, who had made some arrangements, led two rows of his core subordinates out of the hall. One by one, they leapt onto their dragon steeds, and galloped away with rumbling sounds …
Mount Calming Sea. After Qin Weiwei received Yang Qing's reminder, she was also shocked. She finally understood that the ones who attacked East Arrival Cave were most likely from Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. She didn't know if Miao Yi truly didn't know, or if he was just pretending. However, Miao Yi, who had a deep grudge against Xiong Xiao, could very well take the opportunity to exact his revenge.
Qin Weiwei immediately issued a stern warning, ordering Miao Yi to not cause trouble for Xiong Xiao, and to strictly investigate the situation at Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. Otherwise, she would replace him as the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave.
When he received Qin Weiwei's warning, Miao Yi was leading his troops back to East Arrival Cave.
After reading the jade archive, Miao Yi scoffed. 'It's not that I don't want to listen to your orders, but isn't it a little too late for you to realize it now? I've already done what I did.'
The Great Cave Master Miao, who had already made preparations, didn't take this matter seriously at all. He was still regretting letting Xiong Xiao escape.
He still didn't know that Xiong Xiao's strength had increased exponentially the moment he turned back, and that Xiong Xiao was ready to settle the score with him. He still thought that with the troops under his command, Xiong Xiao wouldn't be able to do anything to him. He didn't know that he had already brought himself great trouble.
After returning to East Arrival Cave, he saw that the scene was still the same as before. It was obvious that Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor didn't attack again. Miao Yi sent someone to contact the two spies he had previously sent out.
The news he received made him secretly apprehensive. Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor had already gathered a large number of troops. He reckoned that all of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor's troops were here.
He immediately sent out a few more spies to stand guard. At the same time, he quickly transmitted the situation to Mount Calming Sea, requesting for reinforcements.
In reality, Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor was even more nervous.
The Great Cave Master Miao's name could be said to have shaken Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. Mount Returning Loyalty's Mountain Chieftain Su Biao personally led a hundred men to ambush East Arrival Cave, but they were actually defeated by twenty men from East Arrival Cave. Su Biao, who had a cultivation at Blue Lotus Second Grade, was actually killed!
When Liu Jingtian, who had rushed over with a large number of troops to make preparations, received the news, his head immediately swelled up.
It wasn't that he was distressed over Su Biao's death, but this time, he had made a huge mess of things. It would definitely alert Suppressing Second Hall and Suppressing Third Hall, and he didn't know how to clean up the mess.
Originally, he had thought that it wouldn't be a problem for Su Biao to personally take down a mere East Arrival Cave. After quickly killing or capturing Qin Weiwei, he would immediately clean up the scene and return quickly, leaving no evidence behind. Even if Yang Qing found out that he was the culprit, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him, because he wouldn't have any evidence.
Not only would he be avenging himself, but he would also be avenging Suppressing Third Hall. When the time came, Hall Master Wu Menglan would definitely praise him for his actions, and redeem his incompetent image in front of the Hall Master.
Who would have thought! He had actually hit a nail on the head. Not only did his plan fail, but he had also left behind evidence for the other party, not to mention the loss of his troops.
What should he do when the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall came knocking with the evidence?
Attack and destroy the evidence? The other party wasn't a fool. Would they wait for him to attack and destroy the evidence?
If he continued to escalate the matter, he, Liu Jingtian, would definitely have to bear the consequences.
Mei Yu, who had come up with such a rotten idea, was instantly in big trouble. Liu Jingtian angrily rebuked him, "Didn't you say that the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave would be easy to deal with? Didn't you say that you could kill him by yourself? Why don't you go and kill him for me to see! "
Mei Yu was speechless. Could it be that the Cave Master of East Arrival Cave was the bane of ambushes? Miao Yi had ruined Zhang Decheng's plans, and now he had ruined Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor's plans as well. That Yang Qing had really chosen a talented person to oversee such an important place!
Liu Jingtian was panicking. He didn't know how the Hall Master would deal with him when he returned...
Meanwhile, Miao Yi's side was also maintaining a high level of vigilance. The reconstruction of East Arrival Cave was temporarily halted.
He took some time to go to the dock, and let Yan Xiu, Qian'Er, and Xue'Er continue hiding there.
He then went to the cave near East Arrival Cave to look for Yao Ruoxian. If anything were to happen, he hoped that Yao Ruoxian would lend a helping hand at the critical moment.
Inside the cave, Yao Ruoxian sat cross-legged on the stone couch and sneered, "Don't even think about it. Even if you kneel down and call me Grandpa, it's still not enough."
Miao Yi pointed at the plump sleeve that held the tiny mantids, and earnestly advised, "Senior Yao, think about it. If I were to die, I'm afraid the little ones would no longer obediently stay by your side. Wouldn't that be a waste of your time then?"
"It's still better for you to die than for me to run off and die, right? If a Red Lotus Loose Cultivator like me dares to interfere in your affairs, both Suppressing Second Hall and Suppressing Third Hall will immediately send Red Lotus experts to investigate. Even if I can defeat the Red Lotus experts from both halls, once I alert Traversing Moon Palace, and they send out Purple Lotus experts, will I still be alive? There's still a Golden Lotus expert behind me, and then there's the Realm Beyond Heaven under Mu Fanjun's watch. How many outsiders would dare to provoke them? I still want to live for a few more years! "
Yao Ruoxian waved his hand, as though there was no room for negotiation. He asked in return, "Brat, you're not thinking of using this opportunity to kill me, are you?"
Forget it. Even with such an expert by his side, he still couldn't count on him. Miao Yi returned in disappointment.
As soon as he returned to his shack, the subordinate guarding the mountain ran over and cupped his fists to report, "Cave Master, someone is looking for you outside the mountain gates!"
Who would be looking for him at this time? Miao Yi asked curiously, "Who is it?"
The subordinate replied, "He refused to reveal it. He only asked me to inform Cave Master that an old friend who exchanged the wooden spear for a silver spear is here to pay a visit. Cave Master will naturally know who he is."
"A wooden spear for a silver spear …." Miao Yi was taken aback. He immediately guessed who it was. Yan Xiu had mentioned it before. Recalling that the other party was currently under Xiong Xiao's command, he must have come here for a reason. Miao Yi immediately waved his hand and said, "Invite him in!"
Not long after, a travel-worn Chen Fei was led over with his hat pulled down. Miao Yi stood at the door to welcome him, but Chen Fei transmitted his voice to him, signaling him not to make a scene.
Miao Yi immediately dismissed his subordinate, and led Chen Fei into the shack together.
Before he could exchange pleasantries, Chen Fei had already spoken first, "Brother Miao, leave this place quickly. Otherwise, you'll be in deep trouble!"
Miao Yi was taken aback, "What do you mean?"
Chen Fei smiled bitterly, "Do you still need me to elaborate on what you've done in Mount Shaotai? Now Xiong Xiao has led a large group of troops here, and wants to flatten East Arrival Cave and take your life. I was sent here to investigate the situation, and it wasn't easy for me to get rid of two of my followers to inform you. "
"Xiong Xiao?" Miao Yi raised his brows, and chuckled coldly, "I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to find him, and yet he still dared to come knocking on my door!"
"I knew you would be like this. I was afraid you would underestimate your enemy, so I came to inform you." Chen Fei was slightly anxious as he said, "Xiong Xiao is personally leading over two hundred troops, and there are even three Blue Lotus First Grade experts among them …."
