It wasn't that they wanted to disobey. It was just that it was too dangerous to recklessly dive into a hole like this. However, Dong Quan and the others couldn't refuse. Unlike when Miao Yi was the Alliance Master, there was still room for negotiation. Gu Sanzheng didn't give them any leeway to negotiate at all.
They had no choice but to jump off their dragon steeds and brace themselves as they made their way inside. Even though the passageway inside the cave wasn't narrow, it wasn't wide enough for dragon steeds to gallop inside. It would be inconvenient for them to bring their dragon steeds through the winding passageway.
The black fox on Tan Lao's shoulder leaped down and led the way as it sniffed around. Dong Quan and the others followed behind the fox, while Gu Sanzheng and Tan Lao followed behind. Yu Baixing and Jia Zifeng were at the very back, protecting them.
Sixteen miniature sawtooth shields hovered silently around Tan Lao.
The faintly discernible Demonic Qi drifting within the cave caused Dong Quan and the rest to feel their scalps prickle. This was the price of relying on the strong. Although they could live longer by relying on the other party's strength, they had to be obedient.
As he sensed the demonic aura within the cave, Gu Sanzheng couldn't help but wonder why Miao Yi and the others would go to a place like this. Even he himself was starting to wonder if Tan Lao's fox had made a mistake...
With disheveled hair, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei were also grumbling to themselves. The two of them followed behind Miao Yi, and Miao Yi followed behind Pi Junzi.
Along the way, they occasionally ran into Yao cultivators who were rushing back and forth. Because the Red Scarves Alliance had suddenly invaded the Yao's nest, the Alliance Master, Hei Langjun, had already gathered the Yao cultivators and was preparing to attack.
"Pi Junzi, who are these two? Why haven't I seen him before? "A Yao cultivator who was walking towards them suddenly stopped and asked Pi Junzi.
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei were groaning inwardly. They had never done something so exciting before. Initially, the two of them wanted to leave through Pi Junzi's secret tunnel, but Miao Yi's words made sense as well. They didn't know what other unknown methods the three major sects had to keep track of their whereabouts. The three of them had silently snuck into the demons' nest, yet Gu Sanzheng and the others were still able to chase after them. If this continued, they didn't know how long they would have to run. Not to mention, they didn't even know if they could escape. Thus, they had to think of a way to eliminate them.
As such, Miao Yi forced Pi Junzi to meet Hei Langjun to report the important situation.
If Pi Junzi were to report, then so be it. However, Miao Yi was afraid that Pi Junzi would play some tricks behind his back, so he actually wanted to tag along. This was the first time in their lives that the two of them had encountered a demon in their lair, even though they weren't afraid. But it was also enough to be on edge.
"He's a newcomer, and he's also good at digging holes. The Alliance Master gave him to this lowly one to be his follower." Pi Junzi nodded and bowed as he replied.
Miao Yi immediately followed Pi Junzi's lead and bowed. Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei were speechless, and could only follow suit.
I heard that it was arranged by the Alliance Master. That person didn't suspect anything either. With a grunt of agreement, he strode away. This was because Pi Junzi had always been a coward. There was no way he would lie about the Alliance Master, unless he was tired of living.
As soon as that person left, Pi Junzi couldn't help but wipe his forehead, worried that someone would notice if he broke out in a cold sweat.
He was genuinely afraid whenever he saw Miao Yi. Miao Yi really made him feel like he was on tenterhooks the moment he saw him.
The few of them continued forward, and Sikong Wuwei couldn't help but send a voice transmission from behind, "Brother, it's easy to make mistakes like this. That Hei Langjun hasn't even seen us before. "
"It's not a big deal if we make a mistake. If that Hei Langjun notices it, I'll just use the Mystic Yin Mirror to freeze him. Even if we take a step back, with the three of us using our transcendent artifacts, we'll definitely be able to kill him. We might even be able to snatch that Seamless Net for ourselves," Miao Yi replied fearlessly.
Sikong Wuwei was speechless. He realized that this guy's way of thinking was different from his own. However, after hearing Miao Yi's words, he agreed with him. With the three of them working together, why would they need to be afraid of that demon? He immediately felt confident, but he still felt that something was off.
As they walked through the winding tunnels, they still hadn't reached Hei Langjun's cave. Pi Junzi suddenly turned around and transmitted his voice to the other three, "Hei Langjun is here."
Pi Junzi was the first to lean against the cave wall. Miao Yi and the other two immediately followed suit, suppressing their human auras and activating the Yao Cores in their robes to emit a demonic aura to conceal themselves. From the corner of their eyes, they peeked through the gaps in their hair and saw a tall and sturdy man dressed in black robes leading two enchanting beauties towards them. The three of them bowed together with Pi Junzi.
When Hei Langjun saw the four of them, he stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice, "Why aren't you all going to fight? Are you disregarding this Alliance Master's decree?"
Pi Junzi hurriedly stepped forward and answered, "Alliance Master, I have something to report."
Hei Langjun was currently examining Miao Yi and the others, whose faces were covered by their long hair. He asked, "What is it?"
Pi Junzi was afraid that he would see through them, so he quickly cut to the chase. "It's about Madame Wu Hua."
"Madame Wu Hua?" Hei Langjun was taken aback. His gaze suddenly shifted from Miao Yi and the others to Pi Junzi's face. He asked suspiciously, "Madame Wu Hua has been dead for so many years. Why are you mentioning her?"
Pi Junzi replied weakly, "When I was patrolling the mountain just now, I think I saw that Niu Youde who killed Madame Wu Hua all those years ago."
"Really?" Hei Langjun's eyes instantly widened. He was Bi Youbo's subordinate, so how could he not know what Niu Youde meant to Bi Youbo? He immediately tried to scare him, "Pi Junzi, did you really see that Niu Youde?"
Pi Junzi's heart was pounding, but he still braced himself and said, "Alliance Master, you should have heard that I served Madame all those years ago, so I've seen quite a few of her things. Can you guess what the red cloth I saw wrapped around the arms of those people outside just now was?"
"Don't keep me in suspense." Hei Langjun shouted, "Just say it!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the cloth wrapped around their arms should be Madame Wu Hua's favorite cloth back then."
As soon as Pi Junzi said this, Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei immediately stole a glance at Miao Yi. They realized that Miao Yi was actually trying to get someone else to do his dirty work. However, would this method work?
The two of them were a little doubtful whether this Hei Langjun and the demons on the island were a match for Gu Sanzheng and the others.
"Just based on that? You're certain that Niu Youde is among them? "Hei Langjun furrowed his brows.
Pi Junzi cupped his fists and said, "Of course I wouldn't be so reckless. Earlier, I saw a man leading the group. He was carrying a long case with a sword on it. He was the same person who appeared in that area when Madame was in trouble all those years ago. At the time, he was riding a fat dragon steed. Combined with the red cloth wrapped around their arms, I suspect that person is most likely that Niu Youde. However …"
"However what?" Hei Langjun shouted, "Hurry up and say it!"
Pi Junzi immediately replied with a trembling voice, "However, I overheard someone beside him calling him Gu Sanzheng. That's why I can't be certain!"
"Gu Sanzheng?" Hei Langjun was taken aback. He suddenly pushed Pi Junzi into the wall and strode past him, cursing, "Idiot! He can change his name at any time. How could he dare to use his real name when he was committing murder in the Sea of Constellations back then? Someone, pass on my decree. Anyone who captures Gu Sanzheng will be handsomely rewarded, dead or alive! "
When the two scantily clad beauties behind Hei Langjun saw Pi Junzi staggering against the wall, they giggled seductively and left.
After Hei Langjun and the others left, Pi Junzi immediately pressed his ear against the cave wall to listen for any movement. He let out a sigh of relief as cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He bowed to Miao Yi and said in a low voice, "Lord Niu, this lowly one has done everything I could. Please let me go. If this continues, this lowly one will be scared to death even if you don't do anything."
Miao Yi patted him on the shoulder and smiled. "Well done."
Pi Junzi had a bitter expression on his face. 'Didn't I have no choice? You think I did it willingly?!'
Zhao Fei looked to his left and right, then furrowed his brows and whispered, "Little Brother. Why do I feel like this plan of yours is full of flaws? Besides, I don't think Hei Langjun and the others are a match for Gu Sanzheng and the others. "
Miao Yi whispered, "That's why we can't be in a hurry to leave. We have to help Hei Langjun at a crucial moment."
Sikong Wuwei exclaimed, "No way! You've done everything you could. Why aren't you leaving yet?!"
"Lower your voice!" Miao Yi raised his index finger to his lips. He looked to his left and right, then whispered, "If Hei Langjun isn't a match for Gu Sanzheng and the others, we have to help him escape. The three major sects have been hunting us for so long. I want to let them have a taste of what it's like to be hunted down. It's time for those treacherous traitors of the Red Scarves Alliance to pay the price! "
As he said the last sentence, his eyes glowed fiercely.
Pi Junzi felt a chill run down his spine when he heard this. 'If news of this were to spread, most of the Yao cultivators participating in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade might come after us … Why did the three major sects provoke this guy? I already knew he wasn't someone to be trifled with.'
Sikong Wuwei bowed to Miao Yi and said, "Can I call you 'Grandpa'? We were never a match for them to begin with. We were being chased all over the place, and yet you still want to help Hei Langjun fend them off? Aren't you just handing yourself over to Gu Sanzheng and the others? Are you tired of living?"
Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Listen to me. We are only helping Hei Langjun escape just in case. We don't have to actually fight against Gu Sanzheng and the others. If Gu Sanzheng and the others really do have other methods to catch up to us, it won't make a difference if we escape earlier or later. They'll catch up to us sooner or later, and we still won't be a match for them. We'll definitely be pestered to death by them in the future. If they don't have any special methods, we can still escape by diving into the sea when it gets dark. "
Sikong Wuwei smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just worried that it won't be that easy to escape to the sea once we show ourselves!"
"That will depend on Pi Junzi's capabilities." Miao Yi turned around and patted Pi Junzi's shoulder. He smiled and said, "You've dug so many holes underground. There's no way you didn't leave a way out for yourself. I'll say it again. If you dare to trick the three of us and make us unable to survive, even if you manage to escape, I will let everyone know that you cooperated with Yuan Kaishan and the others in their deaths all those years ago! "
Pi Junzi grimaced and said, "If Hei Langjun and the others lose, I won't be able to survive until the end of the Subjugation Crusade without anyone to rely on."
Miao Yi continued patting his shoulder and said, "We won't leave you behind. As long as you can help us escape successfully, you can follow us from now on. We can't let your abilities go to waste."
Pi Junzi asked weakly, "You won't kill me to silence me when the time comes, will you?"
Miao Yi scoffed, "Do I need to kill you to silence you? You're involved in this as well. If you're not afraid of death, feel free to tell everyone. "
Pi Junzi was speechless. He really didn't dare to speak carelessly.
