Unbeknownst to him, Gu Sanzheng and the others exchanged glances with one another. Even though they didn't say anything, their admiration for Miao Yi deepened. They couldn't help but praise him inwardly, thinking, 'What a courageous and cunning fellow. To dare play such a trick in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, he must be courageous and not despicable. It's no wonder the disciples of the three major sects lost to such a person. It's no wonder so many people were tricked.'
Seeing that they still didn't believe him, Su Jinggong gritted his teeth and said, "Have any of you ever seen him use his cultivation base to fight against others?" Su Jinggong asked.
Dong Quan thought to himself, 'Didn't he fight you guys with his cultivation alone?' However, since the other party had already said that Miao Yi had tampered with their mounts, they could put it aside for now. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed suspicious. They had never seen Miao Yi fight with his true cultivation alone without any help. It was all thanks to his bravery and cunning!
"Could he really have been deceiving us all along?" Dong Quan muttered to himself, confused. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and cried out, "This is bad! We were all deceived by him. No wonder he didn't make a move against us after killing Zhao Lingtu and the others. His transcendence energy was already spent after using a top-tier Second Grade Transcendent Artifact with his cultivation alone. It was just an empty shell … and he tricked us out of three transcendent artifacts just like that! "
Dong Quan was so angry he almost vomited blood. Three top-tier Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts! They were so easily obtainable, yet they flew away just like that!
He wasn't the only one who felt sorry for Miao Yi. Yu Baixing and the others were gnashing their teeth in hatred as well.
Deceived? Gu Sanzheng and the others sneered in their hearts. 'Try deceiving him like that if you're so capable. Some things are easier said than done. You can't do it without extraordinary guts. Even those with less guts and brains wouldn't dare to do something like this!'
"Well done! This is what happens when you follow a thief and commit evil! " Su Jinggong chuckled coldly, then cupped his fists towards Gu Sanzheng and said, "Senior Brother Gu, when the Fifth Earthly Branch officials disembarked, many of you participated in the massacre of the disciples of the three major sects. I hope Senior Brother can avenge your fallen comrades!"
When he said this, many people in the Red Scarves Alliance shuddered. Unfortunately, the survivors of the Jade Lady Sect and the School of Imperial Beasts also joined in, asking Tan Lao and Ye Xin to avenge their fellow sect members.
Tan Lao and Ye Xin both turned to look at Gu Sanzheng. Gu Sanzheng lowered his gaze and said, "It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. This is a critical period. We, the Fifth Earthly people, should unite as one and let bygones be bygones. "
The eyes of those who were on tenterhooks lit up, and they immediately saw hope.
Su Jinggong widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Senior Brother. Could it be that the Sword Deviate Sect disciples died for nothing? "
"Of course they can't die in vain. Everyone here was deceived by Miao Yi. We will only pursue the culprit. As for the others, we can give them a chance to repent," Gu Sanzheng said calmly.
Dong Quan and the others immediately cupped their fists and praised, "Brother Gu is indeed a man of great righteousness."
Unbeknownst to him, Gu Sanzheng was secretly transmitting a message to Su Jinggong, "Do you think I don't want to avenge my fellow disciples? However, the Overlord has warned our Sword Deviate Sect that if I were to kill so many officials of the Fifth Earthly Branch and fail to rank within the top one hundred of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, the Overlord might blame us. How will the Sword Deviate Sect continue to stand in the Fifth Earthly Branch? These people should be killed, but we can't do it openly. With so many of them gathered together, we will all die in the end. Isn't it good for us to use this reason to recruit them to our side and become our fighters? With them leading the charge, wouldn't it be better for our Sword Deviate Sect disciples to sacrifice less, or even live a few more years? How can we let such a good opportunity slip by? "
Su Jinggong immediately understood and transmitted his voice back, "Senior Brother is wise!"
"I don't deserve to be called a man of great righteousness!" Gu Sanzheng turned to Dong Quan and the others and said, "It's just that we don't want to kill each other. However, I'll say it again. We cannot let the culprit go. I wonder if everyone here is willing to work with the three major sects to exterminate the culprit?"
The members of the Red Scarves Alliance exchanged glances. Was he asking them to work with the three major sects to hunt down the Red Scarves Alliance's Alliance Master?
Gu Sanzheng then added, "Think carefully about whether you're a friend or foe. We don't have that much patience! "
Gu Sanzheng was only saying that they didn't want to kill each other because they were on the same side. He wouldn't do the same to their enemies. This was clearly a threat! However, they didn't have the confidence to continue hiding here. There was nothing wrong with following the strong. Thus, the Red Scarves Alliance quickly came to a consensus. They cupped their fists and said, "We are willing to follow the lead of the three major sects!"
Dong Quan turned to the members of the Red Scarves Alliance and loudly said, "From today onwards, the Red Scarves Alliance will cease to exist."
"There's no need for that." Gu Sanzheng stopped him and said, "The Red Scarves Alliance is a good name. Besides, we should all have a name together. However, a snake cannot be without a head. I wonder who should be the next Alliance Master of the Red Scarves Alliance?"
Who else could it be? It had to be one of the three of them. Tan Lao rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want to be some Alliance Master. Gu Sanzheng, you do it."
Ye Xin also turned her head to the side. She didn't want to waste her energy and said, "I'm not interested either."
The result was obvious. Everyone unanimously elected Gu Sanzheng as the new Alliance Master of the Red Scarves Alliance. The members of the Red Scarves Alliance began to obey Gu Sanzheng's orders.
As soon as Gu Sanzheng assumed the position of Alliance Master, he immediately acted decisively. He issued his first decree, and there was only one: 'Those who disobey will be killed!'
It could be said that he had the Red Scarves Alliance firmly in his hands. There was no need for them to be courteous, because they had the confidence to do so. They couldn't be bothered to put in as much effort as Miao Yi did.
He then asked, "Where did Miao Yi escape to?"
"He went south. There are wooden rafts hidden among the reefs along the coast in that direction. He should be heading out to sea from there." Dong Quan pointed out the direction.
"Since this Miao Yi is still alive, we should go meet him." Gu Sanzheng looked at the other two beside him, asking for their opinion. He could directly berate the original members of the Red Scarves Alliance, but he couldn't do the same to the Jade Lady Sect and the School of Imperial Beasts. There were some things that needed to be discussed.
Tan Lao chirped twice, and the Seeker Bird immediately took to the skies and flew south to investigate. This was a clear indication of his stance.
Ye Xin nodded as well.
"We can't let Miao Yi escape. Let's go!" Gu Sanzheng waved his hand, and the Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beast beneath him took the lead, followed by the disciples of the three major sects.
The members of the Red Scarves Alliance, who had changed their leader, also followed behind. Together, they went to hunt down the previous Alliance Master. No one would ever be able to clear up a grudge between them.
The Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beast lived up to its name. It was no wonder it was called a hurricane. Its speed was clearly faster than that of an average dragon steed. As it traversed over the mountains, it was even more agile and nimble than a dragon steed. Its sharp claws could even scale trees and cliffs as though they were flat ground.
Gu Sanzheng and the other two quickly left the troops behind them in the dust.
The three of them were chasing after Miao Yi at full speed. They were determined to catch up to him and kill him.
From a certain point of view, the three of them were indeed impressed that a White Lotus cultivator could achieve this much in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. However, it was precisely because of this that they were even more determined to kill Miao Yi. The three of them were proud and arrogant. They wanted to see if Miao Yi was as strong as they thought. They wanted to see if he could escape from their clutches. They wanted to meet that bastard who had repeatedly caused the three major sects to suffer losses. How could they allow him to look down on the three major sects and think that they were weak...
As soon as Miao Yi escaped to the seaside and found the hidden wooden raft, he immediately ordered Zhao Fei and the others to destroy all the other wooden rafts they had prepared, leaving only one behind. The five of them boarded the wooden raft and immediately invoked their arts to ride the waves away.
Once they were far away from the shore, Miao Yi and the others heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that no one was chasing after them. The wooden raft changed directions and no longer headed south.
Only then did Wang Yuetian ask, "Alliance Master, there's something I don't understand. I don't understand why you killed Zhao Lingtu just now."
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei looked over as well. Both of them had the same question in their minds. When Miao Yi transmitted his voice over to ask them to cooperate with him, they were shocked. That giant hammer was not something to be trifled with. It was only because of Miao Yi's past reputation that they braced themselves and cooperated. Who would've thought that Zhao Lingtu would freeze and not move? In the end, Miao Yi killed him with a single strike.
"I am no longer the Alliance Master of the Red Scarves Alliance. You don't have to address me as Alliance Master anymore. We've been through thick and thin together, so let's just call each other brothers. As for why I did it, allow me to keep you all in suspense for now. I'll find a chance to tell you all about it later! "
They were currently on the vast sea, and Charcoal couldn't use his legs to its full potential. Against three Blue Lotus Ninth Grade cultivators, it would be difficult for him to escape if something happened. Miao Yi had no choice but to be extra careful. Right now, he was relying on the fact that the three of them didn't know about his cultivation base, as well as the threat of the Mystic Yin Mirror. If he told them about his cultivation base, Miao Yi couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't have any ulterior motives.
Actually, the reason why Zhao Lingtu fell for his trap was because of the Mystic Yin Mirror. When Miao Yi first obtained the Mystic Yin Mirror, he realized that aside from Ghost Cultivators, normal cultivators couldn't wield this transcendent artifact. At the time, he had merely invoked his arts to examine it, but he had already triggered a backlash from the massive amount of cold Yin energy within the Mystic Yin Mirror, freezing him on the spot. The reason why he was able to wield the mirror was because the cultivation art he cultivated could suppress cold Yin energy.
When he tossed the Mystic Yin Mirror to Zhao Lingtu, he purposely said that only Ghost Cultivators could wield the Mystic Yin Mirror. He knew that Zhao Lingtu wouldn't immediately keep the Mystic Yin Mirror. Anyone else would try to examine it first.
As expected, the moment Zhao Lingtu invoked his arts to examine the Mystic Yin Mirror, he immediately suffered a backlash from the cold Yin energy. In the end, Zhao Lingtu was easily dealt with.
Otherwise, Miao Yi wouldn't have given the Mystic Yin Mirror to Zhao Lingtu no matter what. He didn't believe that Zhao Lingtu would let him go, so he might as well use the Mystic Yin Mirror to fight it out with him.
Zhao Fei and the others saw that Miao Yi didn't want to talk about it, so they didn't ask any further.
The sun was setting over the sea. How many people in the world could share this moment? The sky darkened, and the moon hung high in the sky. The night sky shone with cold stars, and the waves on the surface of the sea churned as a lonely raft drifted along.
The next afternoon, the group finally arrived at an unknown island. The island wasn't big, so they kept their guard up and circled the island a few times on their dragon steeds. They didn't find a single person, but they did find a mountain fort and a cave abode. It was already deserted.
This kind of situation was very common in the Western Star Sea. All non-participating Yao cultivators would be forced to move away temporarily. They could only return after the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade was over. As such, many similar abodes were left behind in the Western Star Sea.
The environment on the island wasn't bad. The waterfalls were verdant, and the mountains were quiet and beautiful.
