Transient Light Cave was now one of the ten caves under the command of Mount Calming Sea's Mountain Chieftain, Du Zhangxing. A few days ago, Mount Calming Sea sent out a message to each Cave Master, saying that Mount Shaotai's Mountain Chieftain Yang Qing's cultivation had broken through to Blue Lotus Fifth Grade, and that he might have the ambition to become a Manor Head. Thus, each Cave Master was asked to pay close attention to his movements.
Thus, Yuan Zhengkun sent two of his capable subordinates, Li Xin and Sun Jiaojiao, to scout for information.
Now that he saw the two of them barging in so rudely, he guessed that something must have happened. His heart sank and he asked, "What's the situation? Did Yang Qing answer the summons? "
Whether it was the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Calming Sea, Du Zhangxing, or the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Shaotai, Yang Qing, they were both under the command of the Manor Head of South Edict Manor, Lu Yu.
The moment Yang Qing's cultivation broke through to Blue Lotus Fifth Grade, Manor Head Lu Yu immediately felt threatened. Thus, he issued a decree to transfer Yang Qing to his side. His intention was to make Yang Qing a mere figurehead and separate him from the troops under his command.
The various Mountain Chieftains of South Edict Manor were all eagerly waiting to see if Yang Qing would accept the decree. If he did, it would prove that Yang Qing had no ambitions, and everyone would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Li Xin cupped his fists and hastily said, "Cave Master, when Manor Head's decree arrived at Mount Shaotai, Yang Qing was enraged. He said that Manor Head Lu Yu had gone too far in bullying others, and that this was intolerable. He killed the Law Imparter in front of everyone, and immediately gathered the troops of his ten caves to launch an attack on the borders of Mount Calming Sea. Myriad Spirit Cave and Sun Creed Cave have already been breached, and Yang Qing's troops are currently rushing towards our Transient Light Cave at top speed."
Yuan Zhengkun sucked in a breath of cold air and said in shock, "Is Yang Qing crazy? He only has one mountain's army, yet he dares to go against Manor Head's army of nine mountains? "
Sun Jiaojiao cupped her fists and said, "Yang Qing has already obtained the support of the School of Blue Jade. The School of Blue Jade has dispatched a group of their disciples to accompany Yang Qing's army. This is definitely not a coincidence. Yang Qing has obviously been colluding with the School of Blue Jade since a long time ago, and has been planning this for a long time!"
Li Xin earnestly requested, "Cave Master, Transient Light Cave can no longer be defended. Let's retreat!"
"Bastard!" Yuan Zhengkun flew into a rage and said, "The Mountain Chieftain has treated me well and trusted me enough to let me guard Transient Light Cave. How can I flee without a fight! Who would be the vanguard under Yang Qing? Wait for me to reorganize the entire Transient Light Cave, then I'll severely break that dog Yang Qing's spirit! "
Sun Jiaojiao replied, "The Cave Master of Hundred Flowers Cave, Qin Weiwei, will be the vanguard."
Yuan Zhengkun sneered and said, "Qin Weiwei, that b * tch, also dares to attack my Transient Light Cave. Watch how I take care of her!"
Sun Jiaojiao immediately added, "Yang Qing has personally led his troops and is right behind Qin Weiwei. The moment the two of us received the news, we rushed back at top speed. We hope that Cave Master will make a decision soon."
"…" Yuan Zhengkun's expression stiffened and he was rendered speechless.
He wasn't afraid of Qin Weiwei, but if he were to exchange blows with Qin Weiwei and Yang Qing were to arrive soon after, then the joke would be on him. Putting aside the fact that Yang Qing had so many subordinates, just based on Yang Qing's Blue Lotus Fifth Grade cultivation alone, there was no way he could stop him.
Li Xin pleaded once again, "Cave Master, we can't stop Yang Qing with our strength alone. Where there's life, there's hope. What's most important now is that we hurry to the Mountain Chieftain's side as soon as possible and preserve his strength for the Mountain Chieftain. It won't be too late for us to kill our way back when the Manor Head mobilizes his troops to counterattack!"
Yuan Zhengkun hesitated. It wasn't easy for him to become the Cave Master of Transient Light Cave and enjoy a year's worth of incense and power of will from a hundred thousand devotees in Transient Light City. He really wasn't willing to give up the meat that was already in his mouth.
Sun Jiaojiao quickly reminded him, "Cave Master, Qin Weiwei is rushing over with her troops at top speed. They'll arrive in at most two hours. If we don't retreat now, once Qin Weiwei bites us, it'll be too late even if we want to escape!"
"How could I not know!" Yuan Zhengkun looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. "The Mountain Chieftain has treated me well. If I flee without a fight, not only will the Mountain Chieftain not let me off lightly, even if the Mountain Chieftain remembers our old friendship, the Manor Head will still be furious. I'm afraid he'll kill me as a warning to the others!"
Li Xin and Sun Jiaojiao looked at each other speechlessly. Yang Qing had rebelled, so the Manor Head would definitely be furious. If any of his subordinates deserted in the face of battle, the Manor Head would definitely not let them off.
Sun Jiaojiao suddenly wanted to say something but hesitated for a moment. Her red lips parted slightly as she said in a low voice, "Surrender!"
Yuan Zhengkun and Li Xin looked at her with slight trepidation. Only trusted subordinates would dare to speak such words.
However, Yuan Zhengkun quickly shook his head and rejected the idea of surrendering. "The School of Blue Jade is willing to support Yang Qing, so Yang Qing must have promised them some benefits. Once the entire South Edict Manor is conquered, not only would Yang Qing have to make room for the meritorious officials of his headquarters, he would also have to appease the disciples of the School of Blue Jade. There are too many monks, but not enough meat! Even if we surrender, we won't get any benefits. We can only stand to the side, and we'll even have a bad reputation for surrendering. Why bother!? "
Li Xin and Sun Jiaojiao were silent. They knew Yuan Zhengkun was right. Yan Xiu and Luo Zhen were examples of what had happened. Did they have any status in Transient Light Cave? They only had a cultivation base at White Lotus Third Grade, but in Transient Light Cave, they weren't even comparable to a Horse Deputy who herded the horses.
"I have a plan that can help the Cave Master escape. However, the Cave Master is a man who values friendship and righteousness. I'm afraid he won't do it." Li Xin sighed with false affection.
"At a time like this, there's no need to be secretive anymore." Yuan Zhengkun stretched out his hand and said, "There's no harm in speaking!"
Li Xin immediately approached him and whispered in his ear for a while …
Clang clang clang!
The alarm bells in Transient Light Cave rang. Cultivators from various cultivation residences rushed out upon hearing the news, rushing towards Hidden Dragon Valley. They mounted their dragon steeds and hurriedly gathered outside the Transient Light Grand Hall.
Miao Yi hadn't had his own mount all this time. Who asked his cultivation base to be too low? The Cave Master wouldn't remember to help him solve his living difficulties, so he could only ride on the chubby Charcoal and make do.
He still didn't know what had happened. He saw that everyone had picked up their weapons. Yan Xiu, riding on his dragon steed, carried a pair of broad axes in his hands. Even Luo Zhen was holding a long-handled broadsword in one arm, looking awe-inspiring.
"What happened?" Miao Yi rode on Charcoal and hurried behind Yan Xiu. He used his arts to transmit his voice and quietly inquired.
"It's not a good thing. The alarm bells are ringing, indicating that a battle is about to begin." Yan Xiu quietly reminded him, "Little Brother, do you remember what I told you before?"
The legendary battle between cultivators had finally arrived? Miao Yi's heart tightened slightly, but he nodded. He understood Yan Xiu's meaning. If he couldn't win, then he should just surrender. There was no need to risk his life.
Everyone in Transient Light Cave had gathered under the Grand Hall. The 'fat pig' under Miao Yi's crotch was very conspicuous, causing many to be unable to restrain their laughter.
After Cao Dingfeng noticed it, he secretly muttered to himself that he had been negligent. He was prepared to help Miao Yi find a decent dragon steed when he had the chance.
Cave Master Yuan Zhengkun charged out on his dragon steed, charging straight to the top of the Grand Hall's steps. He raised a long halberd, and angrily shouted in an awe-inspiring manner, "Mountain Chieftain of Mount Shaotai, Yang Qing, has the ambition of a wolf. He intends to seize the throne of South Edict Manor's Manor Head. He has already rebelled!"
Everyone was in an uproar. Miao Yi immediately transmitted his voice to ask Yan Xiu what the situation was.
"This matter is a little big. Yang Qing is the one with the highest cultivation in South Edict Manor aside from Manor Head Lu Yu. Since he dared to declare war against Lu Yu, he must have some confidence …" Yan Xiu secretly explained the stakes of this matter to Miao Yi.
