Yan Xiu summoned Xiahou Ta to question him on the spot. He didn't avoid the others, since they all knew of his divine ability.
Xiahou Ta replied in a daze, "It's a strange poison refined by the demonic monk in the past. Those poisoned will undergo a mutation. Their limbs will undergo a horrifying mutation, and they will turn into demons beyond recognition. It's extremely disgusting, and the victim will be in great pain. However, the refinement of this poison was not successful. Those who turn into demons will have an uncontrollable mental state, and will quickly die from exhaustion. The demonic monk has never been able to solve this flaw. "
Even though Xiahou Ta's tone was dull, the contents of his words still sent chills down their spines.
"Is there an antidote?"
"This item was created by the demonic monk. Outsiders have no idea what it is. Only the demonic monk can refine the antidote, but it must be consumed before the mutation occurs. Once the mutation occurs, even the demonic monk himself will not be able to cure it."
Er Yang looked at each other. They didn't expect the demonic monk to have created something like this. It seemed that calling him a demonic monk wasn't wrong at all. How perverted must he be to come up with something like this? Could it be because of his own past that he wanted to turn others into demons as well?
Poison? Miao Yi was silent for a moment. If it really was poison, then he could give it a try. Now he roughly understood why the demonic monk wanted Fei Hong to personally go. If Fei Hong were to personally witness his mother's transformation, it would be hard for her to accept it. This was a form of pressure!
After gesturing for Yan Xiu to take Xiahou Ta away, he said, "I will go personally for this transaction!"
Yang Qing hurriedly dissuaded, "We still don't know if the demonic monk will do something else. The demonic monk's methods are strange, and Your Highness shouldn't take the risk. There is no need for Your Highness to personally deal with this transaction. If Your Highness is still worried, you can send more experts and troops."
Yang Zhaoqing also said, "Sir is right. There is no need for Your Highness to personally deal with this. The southern army isn't without people."
If anything happened to Miao Yi, the entire southern army would be in chaos. It would affect the interests of too many people. No one dared to let Miao Yi take the risk, so they all dissuaded him.
Miao Yi didn't want to tell them that the Fiery Star Art could cure the poison. He could only raise his hand and say, "I've made up my mind. It's decided then. Prepare to depart!" As he said this, he walked to the star chart compass in the study and checked the demonic monk's designated location for the transaction.
"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing nodded helplessly and slowly retreated to inform his subordinates to make preparations.
"It's near the Astral Wilderness." Miao Yi pointed at the star chart, gesturing for Yang Qing to come over and take a look.
After Yang Qing came closer to take a look, he nodded slightly and said, "It seems like the demonic monk is afraid that Your Highness will go back on his word after the transaction is completed. He is preparing to immediately flee into the Astral Wilderness to hide once the transaction is completed. Judging from the distance and time, His Royal Highness didn't have time to send people over to make arrangements in this place. It seems that the demonic monk's people have already arrived and discovered the abnormality in time. They shouldn't give us a chance to play any tricks. "
His guess was right. However, it wasn't just the Demonic Monk's people who had arrived. The Demonic Monk Nan Bo himself had also arrived at the trading location. Together with Zuo 'er, they landed on a desolate planet and looked around.
Zuo 'er said, "The people have been arranged, and the surroundings have been checked. Actually, Senior doesn't need to come here personally."
Nan Bo smiled faintly and said, "If I want to participate in the transaction, how can I not come personally? I will not feel at ease leaving the item in the hands of others."
Zuo 'er was shocked. "Senior, you want to trade in person? No! To Niu Youde, Senior is much more important than Lin Aoxue. When the time comes, I'm afraid he will risk Lin Aoxue's life to kill Senior! "
Nan Bo shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. I naturally won't appear personally to conduct the transaction. I'll just hide far away and be able to retreat at any time."
Zuo Er said cautiously, "That's not safe either. Once the transaction is completed, I don't know if Niu Youde has any other tricks up his sleeves. After all, this is Niu Youde's territory. Niu Youde's power here is monstrous. It's not safe for Senior to be too close. We need to leave as soon as possible. Senior, you can rest assured about the people you arranged this time. There won't be any problems. "
Nambo laughed and said, "This world used to be my world. There are some things that I know that you might not know. Do you know why I chose to do business here? There's a Stargate in the depths of the Astral Wilderness that leads to the Northern Army's territory. I can take you to see it later. As long as we can get our hands on the item, we don't care what he's planning. We just need to go on our way and let him do as he pleases. "
He was currently filled with anticipation. The information he received from the Blood Demon shouldn't be wrong. Once he obtained the Blood Lotus, he would be able to reforge his body in one go. He wouldn't have to choose a new physical body and go through the inhumane process of reforging it. The success rate was too low. As long as he succeeded in reforging his body, he would have a secret art that would allow him to regain his peak strength in the shortest time possible. At that time, he would no longer have to be afraid and sneak around. He would be able to settle all his debts.
Zuo 'er stared at the depths of the starry sky in shock.' There's still an unknown Stargate there? '
Inside the study, Yang Zhaoqing came in and reported, "Your Highness, everyone is here. We can depart at any time. The Consort and Madam Fei Hong are here as well."
Miao Yi nodded and shifted his gaze away from the star compass. He pointed to the target and said, "Send my order to Heng Wudao. Order him to seal off all the Stargates in this area. No one is to enter or leave!"
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing acknowledged.
Outside the room, Yun Zhiqiu and Fei Hong were waiting. When she saw Miao Yi come out, Fei Hong wanted to say something, but stopped herself.
Miao Yi walked up to her and nodded. "The transaction is about to begin. Don't be nervous. I will personally accompany you. Everything will be fine."
Fei Hong nodded vigorously. "I understand."
Miao Yi turned to look at Yun Zhiqiu. The latter forced a smile and said, "Demonic monk …" In the end, she didn't finish her sentence. Instead, she corrected herself and said, "Be careful."
"Mm. Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
"It's about time for the people in the side residence to move into the manor. How would Your Highness like them settled down?"
"I'll leave the arrangements to you."
As he said this, Miao Yi grabbed Fei Hong's hand and strode away, holding her hand.
His hand was warm and strong. With this hand that represented authority, Fei Hong felt much more at ease.
When the party of over ten thousand arrived at the star region near the transaction point, Marshal Si Lu, Heng Wudao, personally came to accompany them.
After greeting Miao Yi, Heng Wudao couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, did something happen?" Miao Yi had suddenly ordered the surrounding star region to be sealed off, and he even wanted to come personally. Naturally, he was worried that something had happened in his territory.
"Fei Hong's true identity is Taishu Aoxue, the daughter of the former Earthstar Sovereign, Taishu Wenchang. She and her mother, Lin Aoxue, are under the control of the Left Division of the Overseers. Lin Aoxue is a hostage, while Fei Hong is a spy planted by my side. After the Southern Military was launched, the Left Division of the Overseers secretly ordered Fei Hong to cooperate with the Shadow Guards to assassinate me. To prevent Fei Hong from worrying, I made a deal with the demonic monk, Nan Bo. He will be responsible for rescuing Lin Aoxue, and I will give him something in return. The Transcendence Breaker Bow is beneath the Li Palace. For a long time, the Celestial Court has secretly kept the families of many high-ranking officials who had committed crimes in the Celestial Court as laborers. Lin Aoxue is one of them … "Miao Yi didn't hide anything from him and explained the general situation.
Heng Wudao was shocked when he heard Fei Hong's words. The fact that Fei Hong was a spy wasn't enough to shock him. The Left Division of the Overseers were used to this kind of shitty business, so there was nothing strange about it. What shocked him was that His Highness actually dared to make a deal with the demonic monk. What shocked him even more was that His Highness had actually told him such a secret.
He couldn't help but sneak a glance at Miao Yi. He could feel the immense confidence that Miao Yi was exuding, and it made him feel quite pressured.
"If that's the case, then the demonic monk was behind the recent incidents in the Li Palace?" Heng Wudao probed further.
Miao Yi nodded. "It's a rescue mission. It's normal to cause a commotion."
Heng Wudao felt a little stifled. This demonic monk was indeed frightening. He actually managed to rescue someone from the Li Palace. Lord Qing was probably going to go mad with anger for something like this to happen right under his nose. Seeing that Miao Yi didn't seem to care about this at all and dared to admit to it, Heng Wudao immediately stood on Miao Yi's side and condemned him. "His Majesty has gone too far. He actually dared to assassinate a high-ranking official of the Heavenly Court. Does the Heavenly Court still have any respect for the rules?"
Miao Yi knew that Heng Wudao was just saying it for fun. Unless it was absolutely necessary, it wouldn't be good for them to openly offend each other. He calmly said, "Has Lord Qing not done enough to assassinate high-ranking officials of the Heavenly Court? Let him be! How are the preparations going on your end? Have there been any abnormalities? "
Heng Wudao replied, "As soon as I received your Highness's order, I immediately sealed off all the star gates in this area. I've already checked thoroughly and didn't allow anyone to enter or leave."
Miao Yi was silent for a moment. He hadn't received any news that the demonic monk had changed the location of the transaction. It seemed like the demonic monk's men had already arrived in advance.
Without wasting any more time, Miao Yi gave the order, and his troops immediately passed through the star gate ahead.
Heng Wudao originally wanted to bring more troops with him to escort His Highness, but Miao Yi didn't. He only allowed Heng Wudao to bring a few personal guards with him.
When they arrived at the location of the transaction, the group landed on a desolate planet. Bluemoon immediately ordered the ten thousand personal guards to make arrangements. On the surface, it looked like there were only ten thousand of them, but in reality, there were far more than that.
Beside Miao Yi, Heng Wudao was a little nervous. He didn't know if the demonic monk would appear. There were so many people in the sealed grounds, and even Lord Qing and Lord Buddha had failed to capture the demonic monk. Even the Li Palace would be able to fish him out. Just thinking about it made him feel pressured.
However, the demonic monk didn't appear. Instead, a few people quickly flew over from the depths of space. Heng Wudao recognized the person leading the group. It was the former Commander of the Right of Ying Jiuguang's personal guard, Xiong Qi!
Xiong Qi was quite daring. He immediately landed in front of the troops, ignoring Heng Wudao and staring straight at Miao Yi's face. He scoffed and said, "I didn't expect the Ox King to personally come to make a transaction. Very good. Have you brought the item?"
Miao Yi calmly asked, "Where is she?"
Xiong Qi waved his hand and grabbed a woman. It was none other than Lin Aoxue. His hand was wrapped around Lin Aoxue's neck, ready to take her life at any moment. At this moment, Lin Aoxue's eyes were tightly shut, and it was hard to tell whether she was dead or alive. Xiong Qi shouted, "She's here. Shouldn't Your Highness's item be taken out to show us?"
Miao Yi flipped his hand, and the Blood Lotus appeared. The white jade lotus root at its base glowed brilliantly. It was obvious that it was a valuable item at first glance, so there was no need for further explanation.
Heng Wudao couldn't help but take a few more glances at it. He thought to himself, 'What is this item that can order the demonic monk around? It must be an extraordinary treasure.'
