"..." Dong Quan was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Miao Yi to be so direct and not give him any face at all. His expression darkened as he said, "Why are you humiliating me, Alliance Master? Does the Alliance Master not agree to draw lots? Is the Alliance Master's promise to live and die together for nine years just a lie? Are you trying to place your own personal interests above the entire Red Scarves Alliance? "
He had used the entire Red Scarves Alliance to pressure Miao Yi. He was obviously trying to force Miao Yi to weigh the consequences. He wanted Miao Yi to know which side had the most people and not misjudge the situation.
These words infuriated everyone. Sikong Wuwei glared at Miao Yi, unable to suppress his anger. If Miao Yi hadn't spoken up earlier, he would have cursed him out loud.
Miao Yi calmly replied, "What a sharp tongue. There's no problem with drawing lots. However, you, Dong Quan, keep talking about the interests of the entire Red Scarves Alliance. You're making me out to be a villain. Since you're thinking for the sake of everyone, and to prove that you have no selfish motives, you should withdraw like Sikong Wuwei did. Let someone else do the drawing. "He swept his gaze across the crowd." What do you all think? "
Dong Quan's expression froze.
Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei exchanged glances. They didn't expect Miao Yi to actually agree to draw lots for the transcendent artifact.
"That's fine."
"Let's do as the Alliance Master says."
Fei De-an and the others quickly agreed. If Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, Lu Siping, and Dong Quan were excluded, then their chances of drawing the transcendent artifact would be even higher. Naturally, they had no objections.
Dong Quan's expression darkened. He realized that he had been the one to make a ruckus for so long, but he was just playing the villain and letting someone else take advantage of him. This was outrageous. He immediately flew into a rage and said, "I can't make this decision on my own. I was chosen by my fellow disciples to draw lots. If I don't participate, I won't be able to answer to my fellow disciples."
His fellow disciples immediately shouted in response, "Participate! Participate! We won't agree if you don't participate!"
It was good to have the support of fellow disciples. They could be used to wave the flag at any time.
Sikong Wuwei's expression was furious.
Zhao Fei swept a complicated gaze across the crowd. He knew that the hearts of the Red Scarves Alliance had fallen apart. They had said that they would live and die together for nine years, but they had only held on for a little more than three years. It was over with just one transcendent artifact. There was no need for outsiders to do anything.
Miao Yi sighed in his heart. He slightly regretted his decision back then. Back then, Zhao Fei and the others had refused to accept these people from the sects. He was the one who stood his ground against the majority and insisted on recruiting these people into the Red Scarves Alliance. Now, as expected, a dispute had arisen.
But then again, if it weren't for the help of these people … Without experts like Lu Siping joining them, the battle with the Ghost Cultivator just now would have been more than enough.
In reality, that was indeed the case. Kuang Lianqiu had taken care of most of them by himself. The rest of them might not necessarily be a match for the Ghost Cultivators who were equipped with a full set of Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts. Even if Miao Yi managed to snatch the transcendent artifacts, he would have no choice but to flee. The outcome of the rest of them was still uncertain.
"It's useless even if you shout loudly." Miao Yi's expression remained indifferent. "Actually, all of you know deep down that this transcendent artifact is rightfully mine. However, some people had selfish motives and held onto unrealistic illusions. Fine, since everyone wants it, I'll fulfill your wish. However, drawing lots is just child's play. I have a better idea. "
"What do you have in mind, Alliance Leader? I'm all ears. "Dong Quan cupped his fists.
"Even though your words are no different from a fart, there's one thing I deeply agree with. 'Those who are capable should have it!'" Miao Yi shot him a sideways glance. "Before we arrived at the Sea of Constellations, I liked to say this to my subordinates as well. Isn't this transcendent artifact what you want? "
He took out the sword artifact from his storage ring and sheathed it back into the hollowed-out scabbard at his waist. Kuang Lianqiu also took out the severed arm that was holding onto the Mystic Yin Mirror. Then, he rode Charcoal to a small mound and stood there.
He tore off the severed arm. Then, he tossed it into the sunlight and turned it into ashes. Holding the Mystic Yin Mirror in one hand and the Inversed-Scales Spear in the other, he raised the mirror artifact in his hand and shouted, "Those who are capable should have this transcendent artifact. If you don't have the ability, then don't come out here and spout nonsense. Trying to take away the transcendent artifact that I risked my life to obtain with just a few words is a joke. Things aren't that complicated. I won't be stingy with this transcendent artifact. If you want this transcendent artifact, then come at me and fight me one-on-one. Whoever can snatch this transcendent artifact away from me can have it. Don't beat around the bush! Rumble!
Miao Yi pointed his spear at Dong Quan and shouted, "I have yet to recover from my injuries. This is the perfect opportunity for you, Dong Quan, to snatch the transcendent artifact. Do you dare to fight me?!"
It would be a lie to say that Dong Quan wasn't tempted to be the first to receive such an opportunity. However, it wasn't without reason that Miao Yi was able to intimidate the Red Scarves Alliance for several years.
This wasn't the same as the administration outside the Sea of Constellations. They had to follow the rules here, and those with higher positions would often be able to suppress others. Here, one could only convince others with their strength.
Miao Yi's previous display of strength was still fresh in his mind. Even though he was injured, Dong Quan didn't dare to act rashly. His expression was uncertain. The transcendent artifact was in Miao Yi's hands. If Miao Yi was determined to settle this with force and refused to draw straws, then no matter what Dong Quan said, it would be useless.
Seeing that Dong Quan didn't dare to make a sound, Miao Yi ignored him and pointed his spear at the others. "What about you guys? You only have one chance. If you miss it, there won't be another. "
Everyone exchanged glances, but still, no one responded.
Dong Quan looked at the people around him and secretly transmitted his voice over, "Why don't we work together and kill him? After that, we'll draw straws to decide who gets the transcendent artifact. What do you think?"
Everyone was instantly tempted. They secretly transmitted their voices over to each other.
Seeing how everyone was exchanging glances, Miao Yi could already guess what was going on. He laughed coldly and said, "If you want to challenge me, then come at me. If you have any ulterior motives, I don't mind testing out the might of this Mystic Yin Mirror. When that happens, don't blame me for disregarding our friendship as fellow members of the Red Scarves Alliance and starting a massacre!"
'So that artifact is called the Mystic Yin Mirror!' As soon as he said this, all schemes were instantly shattered. Working together to steal it? Everyone had witnessed the might of the Mystic Yin Mirror. It didn't matter how many people there were.
They all quietened down! Strength was the best way to solve problems. No one dared to say another word.
After waiting for a while, Miao Yi calmly said, "That's enough. Disperse. Do what you need to do. I'll say this first. If anyone dares to neglect their duties, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"
Based on his usual temperament, he wouldn't have been so accommodating. But in reality, he was already at the end of his tether. Putting aside the fact that he hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, he had also used up all his transcendence energy to wield all his Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts. Even with his cultivation, his transcendence energy was severely depleted. There was no way he could continue fighting. He didn't have the confidence to wield the Mystic Yin Mirror either. At the very least, he didn't know how to do so.
Taking a step back, he still didn't know how the situation in the Western Star Sea would change in the future. Having someone by his side was better than having no one at all. Even if he didn't use them to scare others, it was better to use them as scouts to predict the enemy's movements and make early preparations. There were some things that couldn't be done alone.
At this point, everyone had indeed caused enough trouble. They could only pretend that they were just fooling around and daydreaming for nothing. Even though they were reluctant, they could only disperse one by one.
Sikong Wuwei was laughing heartily, while Zhao Fei had a worried look on his face. The morale of the people had already dissipated!
Once he returned to his cave, Miao Yi turned around and grabbed Qi Xiuhong's hand, whispering, "Be more careful from now on."
Qi Xiuhong wasn't an idiot. She knew what Miao Yi was trying to remind her of. She nodded with a worried look on her face, then turned around and went out of the cave to stand guard at the entrance.
Putting everything else aside, she was now by Miao Yi's side. If anything happened to Miao Yi, she would be implicated as well. She had no choice but to be more careful.
After removing his armor, Miao Yi quickly tossed an Orb of Will into his mouth and sat down to meditate to recover his transcendence energy.
It wasn't until the next morning that Miao Yi's injuries and transcendence energy had completely recovered.
The first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to take out the Mystic Yin Mirror and flip it over in his hand. He had to quickly understand how to use this transcendent artifact in order to deal with any possible mishaps.
As soon as he infused his transcendence energy into the Mystic Yin Mirror to examine it, he was immediately shocked. The Mystic Yin Mirror contained a large amount of cold Yin energy. He didn't know where it came from, but as soon as he invoked his transcendence energy, his divine sense was immediately overwhelmed by the cold Yin energy inside.
If Qi Xiuhong, who was at the entrance of the cave, could see Miao Yi's current state, she would definitely be shocked. Miao Yi's entire body was covered in frost, as though he was a frozen man.
However, the layer of frost quickly melted away. Now that he had fully recovered, Miao Yi became more cautious. He invoked his transcendence energy once more to carefully examine the mirror.
After an hour, he finally figured out how to use the Mystic Yin Mirror. As he held the mirror artifact in his hand, a blue light flashed, and the surface of the mirror immediately spewed out the cold Yin energy. It struck the stone walls, instantly covering them with a thick layer of frost.
However, as he invoked his transcendence energy to control the transcendent artifact, Miao Yi's expression suddenly changed. He quickly retracted the cold Yin energy back into the mirror.
As she stood guard outside the cave, Qi Xiuhong abruptly turned her head around. The cold wind gushing out from the cave caused her dress to flutter. The bone-piercing cold wind caused her expression to change drastically. It was a little hard to bear, and she didn't know what had happened inside the cave.
When the bone-piercing cold wind disappeared, Qi Xiuhong quickly entered the cave. She saw that the stone walls of the cave were already covered in a thick layer of frost. It was as though she had fallen into an icy cavern. When she saw the mirror artifact in Miao Yi's hand, she could roughly guess that Miao Yi had used it just now.
However, when she saw Miao Yi's pale complexion, she couldn't help asking, "Alliance Master, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine!" Miao Yi shook his head and continued to look at the transcendent artifact in his hand.
Qi Xiuhong pursed her lips and didn't say anything else. She turned around and stood guard outside the cave.
Inside the cave, Miao Yi sighed as he held the mirror artifact. His expression was a mixture of joy and worry. He didn't know how this transcendent artifact was refined. It didn't look big, but there was a whole other world inside it. It was similar to storage rings, but it was of a higher grade, and could be stored inside a storage ring.
On the surface, refining this transcendent artifact wouldn't require much Crystalline Obsidian. However, that wasn't the case. There was a whole other world inside the transcendent artifact. The amount of Crystalline Obsidian used to refine it was probably an astonishing figure. Perhaps more than fifty Second Grade Yao Cores were used, and all sorts of miraculous techniques were used to create this transcendent artifact.
Controlling this transcendent artifact was no different from controlling more than fifty Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts at the same time. He had only been using it for a short while, but it had already depleted almost half of the transcendence energy in his body. With his White Lotus Seventh Grade cultivation, he wouldn't be able to use it for a long period of time. If he were to use it for too long, he would probably exhaust all the transcendence energy in his body. If he were to face an enemy, he would most likely be captured in the end.
Recalling the faces of Dong Quan and the others from before, Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh. If he wasn't wrong, even if he gave them this transcendent artifact, they wouldn't be able to control it. The slightest touch would cause them to suffer the transcendent artifact's backlash. This transcendent artifact was probably only suitable for Ghost Cultivators to wield.
