"I know you're from Suppressing Second Hall," someone teased.
This person's name was Liu Tong, and he had a Blue Lotus First Grade cultivation base. He was the first person from Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor to join Xiong Xiao's side. When Xiong Xiao swiftly dealt with a few troublemakers, this person contributed a lot, and was highly regarded by Xiong Xiao. Xiong Xiao promised him that once he completely controlled Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor, he would be given a position among the ten Mountain Chieftains.
As soon as he spoke, many of them smirked, as though they were saying to Miao Yi, 'What do you think we're trying to do? Isn't it obvious?'
Miao Yi pointed his spear at Liu Tong. "Are you trying to start a war between the two halls?"
"Miao Yi, you scum. It's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you here. I'm relieved. The heavens have eyes!" A hearty laugh came from behind.
Another wave of rumbling hooves could be heard, and the surrounding crowd quickly parted to form a path. Xiong Xiao was riding in front of them, majestically approaching. Behind him, ten Mountain Chieftains lined up in a straight line, and each Mountain Chieftain was followed by several people, blocking the path that had been opened up.
"Xiong … Xiong Xiao. Why are you here?" Miao Yi looked panicked and shocked.
Beside him, Luo Shuangfei was even more shocked. He had never seen Xiong Xiao before, but he was so shocked that he almost stuffed his hand into his mouth.
Tian Qingfeng and the other two Senior Brothers who were accompanying him had solemn expressions on their faces. They weren't as good at acting as Luo Shuangfei, and almost slipped up.
Miao Yi was actually quite surprised. He wasn't surprised that Xiong Xiao was here, as he already knew. Instead, he was surprised that the ten Mountain Chieftains of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor were all here.
When Yang Qing and Liu Jingtian joined forces to eliminate Zhang Decheng, Miao Yi had also met these Mountain Chieftains once.
Now, there were more than a hundred people surrounding them, and these ten Mountain Chieftains were almost all Blue Lotus cultivators. There were also a few Blue Lotus cultivators among the troops of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. Fortunately, Xiong Xiao had personally killed off a few of them in order to maintain his authority.
Even so, Miao Yi still cursed in his heart. The twenty Blue Lotus cultivators he brought with him would probably be difficult to deal with.
The School of Blue Jade was only a small sect, and not a bottomless pit. The entire School of Blue Jade only had two Red Lotus cultivators, and the rest of the Blue Lotus cultivators were almost completely depleted under the repeated attacks of South Edict Manor. On the other hand, Miao Yi's side could easily be wiped out. He had already made the School of Blue Jade afraid. More importantly, Miao Yi's side had always been killing people without any benefits. That was why Tong Renmei had been so vague when he asked for them this time.
Now that they found out that Miao Yi had been promoted to Mountain Chieftain. On top of that, Miao Yi had promised great rewards. Other than a few top-notch Blue Lotus cultivators guarding the sect, he had practically squeezed out all of the School of Blue Jade's Blue Lotus cultivators in order to gather the twenty that Miao Yi wanted.
If they were to torture every single member of the School of Blue Jade this time, they might not even be able to get a single person from the School of Blue Jade in the future.
Why am I so unlucky? Could it be that Xiong Xiao could escape this time? Miao Yi smiled bitterly to himself. Man proposes, God disposes.
Seeing how shocked Miao Yi was, "Haha!" Xiong Xiao immediately threw his head back and laughed maniacally. It seemed like this bastard really didn't know that he had already become the Manor Head of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. No wonder he dared to barge into Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor with just four or five people. He was like a lamb walking into a tiger's den.
After Xiong Xiao finished laughing, he loudly announced, "I am the new Manor Head of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor!"
Miao Yi was once again shocked. He pointed his spear at Xiong Xiao and asked, "You are the Manor Head of Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor?"
"That's right!" Xiong Xiao shouted resolutely. There was a sinister smile on his face.
Miao Yi pointed his spear at Xiong Xiao and shouted angrily, "Xiong Xiao, you scum! How dare you betray the Manor Head?"
"That's not right! A fine bird chooses a good tree to nest in. Yang Qing can't tolerate me, so I naturally have to submit to another master. " Xiong Xiao wasn't ashamed. Instead, he smiled and said, "Yang Qing is the Manor Head, and now I am also the Manor Head. We are both Manor Heads. How can there be any talk of betraying the Manor Head?"
"The Manor Head will definitely not forgive you!" Miao Yi said righteously.
"You don't have to worry about that. You should worry about yourself instead." Xiong Xiao mocked, "Miao Yi. If you are willing to surrender to me, I can spare your life. "
This was a lie. He wanted to force Miao Yi to write a letter of surrender, and then send someone to South Edict Manor to anger Yang Qing. He wanted to play with Yang Qing. Didn't Wu Menglan put him here to see this? As long as Wu Menglan was happy, Xiong Xiao didn't mind sparing Miao Yi for now.
However, once Miao Yi wrote the letter of surrender, he would still kill him without hesitation. The hatred between the two of them had been entangled for many years. How could it be resolved with just a simple 'surrender'? Otherwise, Miao Yi wouldn't have come all the way here.
But then again. Miao Yi also played a part in pushing Xiong Xiao to become Manor Head so quickly with his current cultivation base. Their fates of life and death were influenced by each other.
"Manor Head has treated me well. I would rather die than surrender!" Miao Yi flatly refused, but his tone softened. "I am a member of Suppressing Second Hall. If you dare to touch me today, have you thought of the consequences?"
Xiong Xiao shook his head and clicked his tongue. "Who saw me touch you? You were the one who came knocking on my door. This Manor Head was forced to retaliate. Don't tell me that your Suppressing Second Hall members can bully my Suppressing Third Hall members as they please, and make them unable to retaliate? "
These words clearly showed that Miao Yi and the others couldn't escape. No one would be able to report back to Suppressing Second Hall. Killing Miao Yi and the others would be equivalent to silencing them. If Miao Yi and the others died in Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor, wouldn't they be able to come up with an excuse?
Xiong Xiao was completely fearless. Even if the other subordinates before him weren't on his side, they wouldn't go to Suppressing Second Hall to complain and say that he was the one who made the first move. If someone really did that, Hall Master Wu Menglan would be the first to deal with this kind of traitor.
"I won't argue with you and confuse right and wrong." Miao Yi took a deep breath, seemingly nervous. "I have other matters to attend to. More than ten years ago, your Mount Returning Loyalty ambushed my East Arrival Cave. Every year, I would submit a list of compensation, but you all would ignore it. I had no choice but to personally come and demand it. As long as I make the compensation according to the list, I will leave immediately. "
"Is there something wrong with this brat's head?" Liu Tong sneered from the side, causing many to burst into laughter.
However, Xiong Xiao raised his brows and said, "Could it be that after your East Arrival Cave was massacred, you are in a hurry to demand the items to reorganize your forces? Is that why you have personally come to collect the debt?"
Miao Yi looked as if his thoughts had been exposed. He paused for a moment, but he didn't admit it. He didn't dare to mention who had massacred his East Arrival Cave either. He only asked, "Are you going to pay or not?"
"If I don't, what can you do to me?" Xiong Xiao sneered.
Even if he could, he wouldn't. He hadn't made any compensation for so many years. He had just taken office, so how could he embarrass himself like this? Not to mention, there was no need to pay in the first place. Only a weirdo could come up with such a list of compensation for more than ten years.
"Then we'll talk again when you're willing to pay." Miao Yi turned his dragon steed around. "Let's go!"
In the eyes of the crowd, Miao Yi was clearly afraid. "You want to leave?"
Xiong Xiao laughed heartily. He waved his hand and said, "Take him down!"
As soon as he gave the order, a dozen men immediately rushed over.
"Wuuu …." Tian Qingfeng immediately let out a long howl towards the sky. His voice shook the surroundings, and the Blue Lotus Fourth Grade on his forehead made Xiong Xiao's eyelids twitch.
'This bastard actually has a Blue Lotus Fourth Grade expert by his side?' Xiong Xiao was shocked.
However, the shock was yet to come. Aside from Luo Shuangfei and Miao Yi, the others were all Blue Lotus cultivators. How could the dozen men who rushed over be a match for these five?
Miao Yi's spear struck out like a dragon, sending a few flying in a single move. Luo Shuangfei's strange and vicious spear art was also deadly. Tian Qingfeng and the other two relied on their profound cultivation to suppress their enemies, and struck with their spears.
In just a few moves, the dozen men had all been cut down from their steeds. Blood flowed all over the ground. It was a shocking sight.
At the same time, the rumbling of galloping horses came from the forest on both sides, causing everyone to look to their left and right in shock.
"Who dares to harm my lord!"
Seventeen voices shouted in unison, their voices shaking the mountains. Seventeen riders soared into the sky from the forest, forming groups of nine and eight. All of them were Blue Lotus experts. They were already full of courage, daring to barge into any Immortal's Cave. Like wolves and tigers, they dashed over from both sides.
At this moment, Miao Yi revealed a ferocious expression. He turned around and pointed his spear at Xiong Xiao, "Xiong Xiao, you bastard. How dare you bully my Suppressing Second Hall? Today will be the day you die. Kill!"
According to their previous plan, this battle should not be dragged out. Taking Xiong Xiao's life was their top priority. Tian Qingfeng, who had the highest cultivation, immediately charged towards Xiong Xiao. Miao Yi and the others also turned their spears around to protect Tian Qingfeng. With Tian Qingfeng as the vanguard, the three Blue Lotus experts stabbed towards Xiong Xiao like a sharp knife.
The Blue Lotus Fourth Grade expert was the first to pounce on Xiong Xiao. Xiong Xiao turned pale with fright, and bellowed, "Stop them! Kill them! "
Unexpectedly, one of the Mountain Chieftains behind Xiong Xiao exchanged glances. They actually led their own people and ran away. This kind of person was eager for Xiong Xiao to die. It wasn't appropriate for them to make a move themselves, but now that someone else was making a move, why would they stop them? It would be best if they didn't lend a hand.
With someone taking the lead, the other Mountain Chieftains hesitated for a moment. They looked to their left and right, and were shocked. 'Bloody hell, all of them are Blue Lotus experts. I'm not related to you, Xiong Xiao, nor do I have any feelings for you. Why should I risk my life for you?'
None of the ten Mountain Chieftains were willing to help Xiong Xiao. However, they weren't stupid. They didn't run away, because they wouldn't be able to report to their superiors if they did. Each of them cheered loudly, and galloped their steeds around, refusing to engage in battle.
On Xiong Xiao's side, there were a few Blue Lotus experts among his troops. With their advantage in numbers, they were able to block Tian Qingfeng and the others' attacks.
Being surrounded by so many troops and unable to move was a huge taboo. Miao Yi and the others were bathed in blood, and immediately fell into a dangerous situation.
Fortunately, the reinforcements on both sides were like tigers that had entered a flock of sheep. They slaughtered their way through, and the dragon steeds neighed as blood and flesh flew everywhere. Wherever they went, screams of agony could be heard.
Seventeen Blue Lotus experts easily broke through the encirclement, and joined forces with Miao Yi and the others. Together, they charged forward in a frenzy.
Among them, there were three Blue Lotus Third Grade cultivators who rushed to the front to assist Tian Qingfeng. Together with Tian Qingfeng, they immediately killed two Blue Lotus cultivators from Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor. One of them was Liu Tong, whose head was sent flying with a single strike of his spear.
Without the experts to stop them, the others couldn't stop them at all. With Tian Qingfeng in the lead, twenty-two riders immediately broke through the encirclement. They slaughtered their way through, and their steeds were thrown off their feet. With an unstoppable momentum, they charged straight at Xiong Xiao, who was at the back.
