What he said didn't make sense, but it sounded reasonable. When it came to being reasonable, it always depended on how it was said. What was important was the standpoint of the person listening to it.
Miao Yi remained calm and expressionless as he asked, "You want the Mystic Yin Mirror?"
"I'm not the one who wants the Mystic Yin Mirror." Naturally, Zhao Lingtu had prepared a dignified speech. He waved his hand and pointed at the large group behind him, "Everyone here needs the Mystic Yin Mirror to protect themselves! I once heard from Junior Brother Lu that when we obtained the Mystic Yin Mirror, everyone wanted to draw lots to decide the ownership of it fairly, but the Alliance Master refused. Let me repeat myself. If the Alliance Master was still in the Red Scarves Alliance, leaving the transcendent artifact in the Alliance Master's hands would have been beneficial to the Red Scarves Alliance. But now that the Alliance Master has left, the Mystic Yin Mirror naturally has to be left behind for everyone to draw lots to determine its ownership! "
Initially, everyone remained silent. After all, Miao Yi had single-handedly raised the Red Scarves Alliance, and he was the Alliance Master no less. In the end, the Alliance Master had offended a powerful enemy, and no one wanted to be dragged into this mess. It would be a lie to say that they didn't feel guilty at all.
What's more, it was obvious that Zhao Lingtu had intentions of taking over the Red Scarves Alliance. Everyone had witnessed Zhao Lingtu's prowess earlier, and it seemed like he was even stronger than Miao Yi. It didn't matter who became the Alliance Master. As long as they could survive, there was nothing wrong with following Zhao Lingtu.
Initially, they had kept their thoughts to themselves, so they didn't say a word. They would just let Zhao Lingtu be the bad guy. However, Zhao Lingtu's final words jolted Dong Quan and the others to their spirits. He was going to leave the Mystic Yin Mirror behind for everyone to continue drawing lots?
"Alliance Master, we won't stop you if you want to leave, but you should leave the Mystic Yin Mirror behind!" Dong Quan responded.
"Yeah! We don't want to hurt the last bit of our friendship, "Yu Baixing and the others echoed.
Zhao Lingtu was overjoyed to see that even those who had remained silent had spoken up. As expected, the word 'profit' was the most alluring.
Earlier on, he noticed that no one was saying anything, so he wasn't very confident. After all, Miao Yi was still the Alliance Master of the Red Scarves Alliance. If he were to make a move and these people turned on him, he would be in deep trouble. At such a close distance, the Mountain Suppressing Hammer wouldn't be able to handle the combined attacks of so many people. He couldn't use the Spirit Illusion Greatsword for now. He didn't want to lose his life before he got what he wanted. He had to play it safe.
Now, these people were standing on his side.
Sikong Wuwei's eyes were glowing fiercely. He glared fiercely at the crowd, but the situation was against him, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
Miao Yi's gaze instantly turned cold. He slowly swept his gaze across the crowd and casually flipped his hand over. Grabbing the Mystic Yin Mirror in his hand, he slowly said, "What if I don't give it to you?"
On top of that, when the Mystic Yin Mirror appeared, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Dong Quan and the others quickly retreated, as they had all witnessed the terrifying might of the Mystic Yin Mirror before. Only Lu Siping and the others remained behind to protect Zhao Lingtu.
Aside from Lu Siping, Zhao Lingtu and his fellow disciples had never witnessed the might of the Mystic Yin Mirror before. They had only heard of it. This made Zhao Lingtu and the others extremely nervous. They suddenly felt an immense pressure.
The Mountain Suppressing Hammer in Zhao Lingtu's hand flashed with a green light, instantly expanding in size. Even though it wasn't as large as it was when he killed Ba Wenjing, it was still big enough to block Zhao Lingtu's body.
Holding the hammer horizontally in front of him, Zhao Lingtu grabbed the Spirit Illusion Greatsword with his other hand. He glared at Miao Yi and said, "I know you have the Mystic Yin Mirror in your hand and can wipe out an entire army. However, this Mountain Suppressing Hammer of mine is enough to block the Mystic Yin Mirror's cold Yin energy. As long as you miss, I will be able to smash you into a pulp. What's more, I have the Spirit Illusion Greatsword in my hand. You will definitely lose! Miao Yi, I advise you to obediently hand over the Mystic Yin Mirror. As a member of the Red Scarves Alliance, I don't want to kill the Alliance Master either! Miao Yi, I will give you one last chance to live. As long as you leave the Mystic Yin Mirror behind, we will definitely not stop you from leaving. "
Although his words sounded nice, he was actually a little wary of the Mystic Yin Mirror in Miao Yi's hand at such a close distance. He didn't dare to fight it head-on unless he had no other choice. He placed the massive hammer in front of him like a wall, ready to defend against the Mystic Yin Mirror's cold Yin energy.
As for the Spirit Illusion Greatsword, it was only used to scare Miao Yi. Right now, the Spirit Illusion Greatsword was just for show. He hadn't had the time to replenish its energy, so he couldn't use it at all.
However, it was enough to intimidate Miao Yi, preventing him from acting recklessly. After all, Miao Yi had never used the Spirit Illusion Greatsword before, so he didn't know that there was something wrong with the Spirit Illusion Greatsword's current condition.
Then again, even without the Spirit Illusion Greatsword, Miao Yi wouldn't dare to act recklessly. He knew his own limits and knew that he couldn't control the Mystic Yin Mirror for long. If he used it for too long, he would run out of transcendence energy. If he missed in one strike, the giant hammer would come crashing down on him, and he would definitely be smashed into a pulp.
Both sides were wary of each other, but Zhao Lingtu had the upper hand.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Fei and the others exchanged glances. Miao Yi then said, "I can give you the Mystic Yin Mirror, but are you sure you'll let us go?"
Zhao Lingtu was overjoyed when he saw that the other party had relented. He thought to himself, 'As expected, they've been intimidated by me.' All he wanted was the Mystic Yin Mirror. When he saw how wary everyone was of it, his desire to obtain it grew even stronger. As for killing Miao Yi or not, he didn't care at all. It wouldn't matter even if he let Miao Yi go. He immediately swore, "I can swear to the heavens that as long as you leave the Mystic Yin Mirror behind, I will let you all go. If I go back on my word, let me die a horrible death!"
"Alright!" Miao Yi agreed.
However, Zhao Lingtu was still worried and said, "Don't act recklessly. Toss the Mystic Yin Mirror over."
Miao Yi looked at the Mystic Yin Mirror in his hand and smiled, "Actually, only Ghost cultivators can control this thing. Others can't. There's no point in me keeping it."
As he said this, he tossed the Mystic Yin Mirror over.
Zhao Lingtu caught the mirror artifact in his hand and calmed down. He kept the Spirit Illusion Greatsword in his storage ring and held the Mountain Suppressing Hammer in one hand as a precaution while flipping through the Mystic Yin Mirror with the other. He couldn't help but ask, "Only Ghost cultivators can control it?"
Miao Yi nodded.
Unexpectedly, as he held the Mystic Yin Mirror in one hand, Zhao Lingtu's gaze suddenly froze as he fell into a daze. The Mountain Suppressing Hammer in his other hand also abruptly shrunk back to its original size.
Miao Yi's eyes suddenly narrowed as an almost undetectable glint flashed across his eyes.
"Kill!" Suddenly, with a loud shout, Charcoal charged forward like an arrow released from a bow with Miao Yi on its back. The Inversed-Scales Spear in its hand let out a dragon's roar.
Sikong Wuwei, Zhao Fei, and Wang Yuetian also charged forward, while Qi Xiuhong quickly turned around on her dragon steed.
Lu Siping and the others were shocked by the sudden turn of events. They thought to themselves, 'How could Senior Brother Zhao be so careless? He actually put away the Mountain Suppressing Hammer and didn't defend himself?'
Then, when their gazes fell upon Zhao Lingtu, they realized that Zhao Lingtu was like a frozen man. His body was instantly covered in a layer of white frost, and he was frozen in place with a transcendent artifact in each hand.
At such a close distance, Miao Yi thrust his spear as fast as a shooting star, ruthlessly piercing into the area below Zhao Lingtu's throat, close to his chest. However, it was as if he had stabbed into a piece of rotten wood. There wasn't even a splash of blood. He had indeed been frozen solid.
Caught off guard, Lu Siping and the others hurriedly tried to attack. Sikong Wuwei and Zhao Fei, who had rushed over from the left and right, quickly stepped in to help. Together with Wang Yuetian, they blocked the attacks from Lu Siping and the others. The three Blue Lotus Ninth Grade experts had no problem holding off these people.
Zhao Lingtu was already crippled. Lu Siping, a Blue Lotus Ninth Grade cultivator, was the only one left. He was being held back by Zhao Fei, while Sikong Wuwei and Wang Yuetian were holding off the others.
Miao Yi had succeeded in his first strike. He twisted his spear and dragged Zhao Lingtu over. Then, he turned around and ran.
Behind him, Dong Quan and the others were dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. They couldn't even figure out what was going on. How did Zhao Lingtu, who had such a powerful artifact in his possession, fall to Miao Yi in just a single exchange? Wasn't this turn of events a little too fast? It was so fast that no one could react in time.
Seeing Miao Yi run off with Zhao Lingtu's corpse and the artifacts, Dong Quan and the others finally snapped out of their daze and rushed over to help. They wanted to snatch the artifacts back.
"Attack!" A few Blue Lotus Ninth Grade experts immediately led a large group of troops and charged over.
"Harrumph …" Charcoal, who had escaped from the battle formation, stopped running a short distance away. With his spear in hand, Miao Yi turned his horse around and shouted, "Don't get tangled up. Retreat! I will hold off the pursuers myself! "
With so many troops charging at them, Zhao Fei and the others knew that they couldn't hold them off. It would be troublesome if they got tangled up. They immediately used all their strength to force their opponents away, then turned around and ran.
When they turned around, they saw Miao Yi holding his spear in one hand and the Mystic Yin Mirror in the other.
As the three of them ran past Miao Yi, they heard a hissing sound behind them. When Sikong Wuwei heard this sound, he subconsciously shivered. An unforgettable feeling welled up in his heart.
The three of them quickly stopped their steeds and turned around. They saw the Mystic Yin Mirror in Miao Yi's hand violently spewing out a cold Yin aura, sweeping towards Lu Siping and the others who were charging towards them. The bone-chilling cold spread out in all directions.
As the cold Yin aura swept towards them, Lu Siping and the others were horrified. It was as though they were saying, 'Didn't you say that only Ghost Cultivators can wield the Mystic Yin Mirror?'
The reason they dared to chase after Zhao Lingtu was because they saw him fall for the Mystic Yin Mirror's trick and believed Miao Yi's words. Not to mention, Miao Yi had only just obtained the other two artifacts and hadn't figured out how to use them yet. Naturally, they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to snatch the artifacts back.
Dong Quan and the others, who were charging towards Miao Yi like they were on steroids, had the same thought as well. Currently, all sorts of artifacts couldn't be used. This was the perfect time to snatch them. How could they miss this opportunity?
However, the scene before them once again showed them the terrifying might of the Mystic Yin Mirror.
The cold Yin aura within the Mystic Yin Mirror had already been retracted back into the mirror artifact. Lu Siping and the others, who were already frozen stiff, fell to the ground due to the inertia. Their bodies were covered in frost, and they couldn't move a single inch. They were still in the same position as before they fell.
"If you dare take another step forward, don't blame me for being merciless and killing without mercy!" Miao Yi waved the Mystic Yin Mirror in his hand and shouted at the troops charging towards him.
The clattering of hooves came to an abrupt halt. Dong Quan and the others widened their eyes as they looked at Miao Yi, then at Lu Siping and the others on the ground. Facing Miao Yi with the Mystic Yin Mirror in his hand, no one dared to act recklessly. They stood in place, filled with fear.
Qi Xiuhong, who was waiting a distance away, felt a weight lift off her shoulders when she saw that the situation had been settled. She bit her lip as she watched Miao Yi single-handedly scare off nearly a thousand troops!
