The sound of hurried hoofbeats broke the silence of the snowy night, pulling Miao Yi back from his thoughts as he stood quietly on the observatory platform. "Have they returned?"
Yan Xiu shook his head and said, "Doesn't seem like it. From the sounds of it, there's only one."
"One steed?" Miao Yi's heart tightened. He abruptly turned around and said, "Let's go see what's going on."
Yan Xiu quickly accepted the order and left.
Outside, the sound of dragon steeds galloping came to a stop in the direction of the mountain gates. Indistinctly, a mournful cry could be heard. Standing on the observatory, Miao Yi opened his transcendence vision and saw the steed galloping towards the back of the mountain.
Not long after, Yan Xiu arrived with a group of School of Blue Jade disciples. Everyone stood below the Star Observation Platform, raising their heads to gaze at the figure standing on the Star Observation Platform amidst the falling snow.
A sorrowful and sorrowful woman cupped her fists and said, "School of Blue Jade disciple Su Yuhuan pays her respects to Milord."
Miao Yi turned around and frowned slightly. Even though the other party was in a sorry state, he could vaguely tell from her pretty face that she was one of the two women who had tried to serve him in the School of Blue Jade back then.
As he walked down the observatory, Miao Yi swept his gaze across the faces of the School of Blue Jade disciples present. He noticed that each and every one of them had a sorrowful expression on their faces. He couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Sobbing, Su Yuhuan replied, "Milord, three days ago, the School of Imperial Beasts suddenly launched a large-scale sneak attack on the School of Blue Jade. The other side was filled with experts, and they had the advantage in numbers. The School of Blue Jade was unable to defend against them. The Grand Supreme Elder and Sect Master died in battle, and the entire School of Blue Jade was massacred."
The lips of the School of Blue Jade disciples were tightly pressed together. Some of them had tears in their eyes.
Miao Yi sucked in a breath of cold air and asked in shock, "Why did the School of Imperial Beasts attack the School of Blue Jade?"
Su Yuhuan sobbed, "After that, I overheard a conversation between the disciples of the School of Imperial Beasts. They said that the disciples of the School of Blue Jade were suppressing the disciples of the School of Imperial Beasts at Mount Calming Sea. They even killed the grandson of Elder Wu of the School of Imperial Beasts, Wu Liu, who was serving Long Viridescent Cave. The one who led the attack on the School of Blue Jade was none other than that Elder Wu. Grand Supreme Elder and Sect Master were killed by that Elder Wu."
Long Viridescent Cave's Wu Liu? Miao Yi was slightly taken aback. He recalled that it was the disciple from the School of Imperial Beasts who was killed by Luo Shuangfei when Gongsun Yu was guarding Long Viridescent Cave.
The reason why he had an impression of that person was because Wu Liu had released the extremely powerful Heart-Devouring Bat. Unfortunately, he met Luo Shuangfei, who was even more evil. In the end, he died at Luo Shuangfei's hands.
After that, he heard from Yuan Fang that the person in the School of Imperial Beasts who could tame the Heart-Devouring Bat must have some background. Now that he thought about it, it seemed that Wu Liu was the grandson of an elder of the School of Imperial Beasts. However, with such a background, why was he a nobody in Long Viridescent Cave?
Let's not talk about this for now. Elder Wu personally led his men to attack, and it was likely that there was an element of using his position to avenge a personal grudge. If that was the case, wouldn't the School of Blue Jade have been harmed by him?
However, Miao Yi was still a little doubtful. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Even your Grand Elder and Sect Master couldn't escape. How did you manage to escape with your cultivation?"
"It was Senior Brother who saved me …" Su Yuhuan's tears fell like rain. She wasn't afraid of losing face, and she recounted the situation of her lucky escape.
It turned out that this woman and a senior martial brother were in love with each other. At night, they had a date under an old tree. Coincidentally, there was a tree hole under the old tree. When the School of Imperial Beasts launched a fierce attack, that senior martial brother let Su Yuhuan hide in the tree hole. Unfortunately, the tree hole could only hide one person. In order to save his lover, the affectionate senior martial brother gave her the chance to live.
At the time, the Heart-Devouring Bats that blotted out the sky and covered the earth swept through the entire School of Blue Jade under the moonlight. They killed everyone in sight, leaving no one alive. That affectionate senior martial brother wasn't spared either. Before he died, he used his body to cover the exposed tree hole so that no one could find him, in order to save his junior martial sister.
After a bloodbath, when the disciples of the School of Imperial Beasts were searching everywhere for survivors, their conversation was heard by Su Yuhuan, who was hiding in the tree hole.
When the School of Imperial Beasts disciples retreated, Su Yuhuan climbed out of the tree hole and discovered that the entire School of Blue Jade had been reduced to rubble. The corpses of the School of Blue Jade disciples were scattered everywhere.
Alone, Su Yuhuan was shocked and terrified. She didn't know where to go. In the end, she remembered that the School of Blue Jade was more powerful here in Mount Calming Sea, so she rushed here without stopping …
"Sigh! School of Blue Jade. " Miao Yi sighed softly. He looked at Su Yuhuan for a while, thinking that there was no need for her to lie.
However, he realized that this woman was really lucky. To be able to escape like this, he could still vaguely remember that this woman had stripped herself naked in front of him. Her looks were not bad, but since you have a lover, why did you do that? That would be too unfair to that Senior Martial Brother who died for you.
Just then, the rumbling of hooves could be heard from outside. Yan Xiu quickly climbed up to check and came down. He said to Miao Yi, "Milord, Elder Auntie and Little Auntie are back."
Not long after, the sound of galloping dragon steeds stopped outside. Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were still in high spirits despite the wind and snow, quickly led a few people inside.
Suddenly seeing so many grief-stricken School of Blue Jade disciples in the courtyard, the two girls were stunned. They restrained their excitement and slowly stood by Miao Yi's side, unsure of what had happened.
Tian Qingfeng also frowned, "What are you all doing?"
"Senior Martial Brother, the School of Blue Jade is finished!" Someone cried out in grief.
"Senior Uncle!" Su Yuhuan turned around and cried out. She immediately knelt beside Tian Qingfeng, hugged his thigh and wept. Once again, she told him about the calamity that had befallen the School of Blue Jade.
Tian Qingfeng felt like he was struck by lightning when he heard this, and was stunned on the spot.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er looked at each other. They didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen. They had seen the scene of East Arrival Cave being massacred before, and were instantly filled with sympathy.
"Senior Uncle! You have to avenge the School of Blue Jade! "Su Yuhuan wailed as she shook Tian Qingfeng's thigh.
'Avenge? That's a fantasy. 'Tian Qingfeng looked at his fellow disciples blankly.' How could he avenge them? With just them? How could he fight against the School of Imperial Beasts? Even when the School of Blue Jade was still around, they weren't a match for the School of Imperial Beasts. Now that they were destroyed, it was even more impossible for them to avenge them.
Not to mention them, even Miao Yi could only sympathize with them. Against a colossus like the School of Imperial Beasts, not to mention Mount Calming Sea, even Suppressing Second Hall wouldn't be able to do it. Unless Traversing Moon Palace intervened.
Furthermore, Traversing Moon Palace wouldn't interfere in such matters. They didn't offend the officials, and it was only a battle between cultivation sects. Traversing Moon Palace wouldn't care about their survival.
"Milord, I would like to bring a few people back to the School of Blue Jade to take a look." Tian Qingfeng cupped his fists and said with a sorrowful expression.
Miao Yi wouldn't reject him no matter what. He nodded and said, "Go!" His gaze fell on Su Yuhuan, and he added, "She can stay in Mount Calming Sea. When I report this to Manor Head later, I'll help her settle her official status."
The School of Blue Jade had suffered such a calamity. This was all he could do for now. It wasn't realistic to help the School of Blue Jade seek revenge from the School of Imperial Beasts.
Moreover, even if he didn't say anything now, Tian Qingfeng and the others would probably ask him to take Su Yuhuan in. When that happened, he wouldn't be able to refuse, so he might as well take the initiative to do them a favor.
As soon as he said this, Su Yuhuan immediately turned her head and bowed, sobbing, "Thank you for taking me in, Milord."
The School of Blue Jade was unfortunate, but she was fortunate. Otherwise, with her White Lotus First Grade cultivation, she wouldn't have been able to join the officials so easily. She couldn't even get a chance to do so when she stripped naked. Now, she had her way.
"Thank you, Milord!" Tian Qingfeng cupped his fists, then turned to his fellow disciples and said, "Help her down to rest."
Not long after the group of School of Blue Jade disciples left, Miao Yi led Qian'Er and the others back to the house. He quickly wrote a report and sent it to South Edict Manor to let Yang Qing know.
Soon, the rumbling sounds of galloping could be heard from outside, leaving Mount Calming Sea. Tian Qingfeng and the others had probably left.
Standing at the door, Miao Yi sighed, "The School of Blue Jade has been in South Edict Manor for so long. Back then, they fought endlessly with Yang Qing, and almost took control of the entire South Edict Manor. One wrong move and the entire game was lost. Hong Changhai's foolish move allowed Yang Qing to completely break free from his shackles. You can say that he harmed others and himself, and the entire School of Blue Jade. If it weren't for this, why would the three major schools join the two manors? The School of Blue Jade is completely finished now. Come to think of it, I am somewhat responsible for this. "
The reason he could say this was because he still didn't know how the School of Blue Jade was finished. In reality, only Yang Qing, Qing Mei, and Qing Ju knew about this. It was just that Yang Qing had used some tricks and seized the opportunity to make the School of Blue Jade fall apart with a single letter. The School of Blue Jade had fought with Yang Qing before, and now they still lost to him.
Actually, the reason Yang Qing lured the three major schools into the two manors was to make preparations to deal with the School of Blue Jade. If the School of Blue Jade had behaved themselves after the incident, then it would have been fine. After all, he could still make use of them. However, the School of Blue Jade was unwilling to give up, and still wanted to make a comeback through Miao Yi.
How could he allow others to sleep by his bedside! The School of Blue Jade, a school that was not part of the administration, had repeatedly tried to meddle with Yang Qing's affairs. How could Yang Qing allow them to do so? Even if Miao Yi hadn't ordered Luo Shuangfei to kill Wu Liu, the School of Blue Jade's massive support for Miao Yi had already violated Yang Qing's taboo. Naturally, Yang Qing had to deal a heavy blow to prevent any future troubles!
Great, the School of Blue Jade had played with fire and burned themselves.
After letting out a sigh, Miao Yi turned around and asked, "Tian Qingfeng and the others are in such a hurry to go to the School of Blue Jade to see what's going on. Yan Xiu, do you think they will want to avenge the School of Blue Jade? If that's the case, then I'm afraid our Mount Calming Sea will no longer have peace from now on. I'm afraid we need to make preparations early. "
"Avenge?" Yan Xiu shook his head and said, "The destruction of the School of Blue Jade isn't necessarily a bad thing for them. At least they won't have to hand over a portion of the Orbs of Will they receive every year to the school anymore. Furthermore, how could they possibly seek revenge from the School of Imperial Beasts? They won't be so foolish as to seek their own death unless one of them can ascend to the position of Palace Lord. Once the School of Blue Jade is destroyed, it will be even more impossible for them to ascend to the position of Palace Lord, because their cultivation arts have been severed. They are in such a hurry to return to the School of Blue Jade to see what's going on. I'm afraid it's not because they want to avenge the School of Blue Jade, but because they want to see if they can still find the complete cultivation arts of the School of Blue Jade's remains. This is what they are most anxious about. "
Miao Yi was surprised and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Yan Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Milord, have you forgotten that I have also encountered a similar situation? I can understand their feelings the best. "
Miao Yi let out an 'oh' as realization dawned on him. He looked at the fluttering snow illuminated by the lantern outside and narrowed his eyes as he said, "The destruction of the School of Blue Jade may not be a good thing for me. I've lost a great ally in the outside world. Fortunately, I got rid of Xiong Xiao in advance. However, it will be difficult to find another school like the School of Blue Jade that is blinded by greed."
