The sound of galloping hooves from behind made everyone turn their heads to look.
Its mane fluttered as it pierced through the flying dust, like a prodigal son in the wind. Even though it was a fat prodigal son, it still quickly caught up to Yan Xiu's mount.
With a neigh, it ran side by side with Yan Xiu's mount.
Miao Yi was a little surprised. He thought this guy was angry and wouldn't come anymore. Holding the silver spear in his hand, he shot up from behind Yan Xiu and landed on Charcoal's back.
Two fleshy feelers quickly shot out from Charcoal's fluttering mane, latching onto Miao Yi's thigh.
Miao Yi's gaze met with Qin Weiwei's as she turned her head to look. The former chuckled, as though saying, 'My mount has returned on its own. You want to embarrass me? No way!'
Qin Weiwei coldly snorted. She turned her head to the front, and continued to lead the troops as they rapidly traversed the mountains.
'Charge to the front. Let that bitch eat the dust behind us!'
Miao Yi transmitted his thoughts to Charcoal. Even though they wouldn't actually eat the dust with their cultivation, the dust that was kicked up in the front still came crashing down on their heads and faces. This made him very unhappy.
Neigh! Charcoal's eyes shone as it let out a long whistle. This guy seemed to be very interested in doing such things, especially against Qin Weiwei who had poked its butt with a spear.
In a flash, its four hooves moved like a phantom. It was as fast as a black elf in the wind. Even though it was a fat elf, its speed wasn't just for show. It traversed the mountains as though it was flat ground, and crossed the mountain streams in a flash as well. It quickly left Yan Xiu, who was running neck and neck with it, behind.
A normal person wouldn't be able to withstand the speed of a dragon steed. Not only would they be unable to open their eyes, it would be normal for them to be directly blown away by the wind resistance.
Very quickly, Miao Yi rushed to the front, and rode side by side with Qin Weiwei who was leading the charge. The two of them turned their heads to look at each other, sparks flying from their gazes.
Miao Yi turned his head to look ahead, and the corner of his lips curled into a sly smile. He bent down slightly, and reached out his hand to pat Charcoal's neck.
Charcoal understood tacitly, and increased its speed again, slowly overtaking Qin Weiwei's mount by half.
Qin Weiwei suppressed the anger in her heart and secretly transmitted a thought to her mount to overtake it. The dragon steed she sat on immediately unleashed its full speed and chased after it in a frenzy, causing the riders behind to also increase their speed to catch up to their leaders.
However, what made Qin Weiwei gnash her teeth in hatred was the fact that the pig-like dragon steed in front of her was running abnormally fast. Her dragon steed had already thrown caution to the wind, but the distance between her and the fatty was only growing wider and wider. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up.
Not long after, Charcoal had already surpassed Qin Weiwei by more than a hundred meters with his fat body swaying. And this was under the condition that he had two scars on his buttocks.
What was even more outrageous was that Charcoal seemed to feel that competing in speed wasn't enough to vent his anger. He actually slowed down a little, shortening the distance between him and Miao Yi. Then, his two hind hooves purposely threw up a pile of dust, sand, and weeds in front of him.
A pile of messy things came crashing down on Qin Weiwei's face, although they were all forced away by Qin Weiwei's exorcism.
Up ahead, Miao Yi was trying his best to stifle his laughter. He felt so good. He had finally gotten his revenge.
Behind him, Yan Xiu was sweating profusely. It was obvious that he was deliberately messing with Qin Weiwei! He hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Little Brother, stop fooling around. I heard that the Cave Master of Hundred Blossoms Cave, Qin Weiwei, seems to be the adopted daughter of Mountain Chieftain Yang Qing. Before your position as Cave Master is confirmed, I think it's best that you don't offend her."
"..." Miao Yi's smile froze, and in an instant, he couldn't smile anymore. He cursed furiously in his heart, 'Why didn't you say so earlier?'
Qin Weiwei couldn't hold back her anger either. She pointed her spear at Miao Yi and shouted coldly, "Heed my command! Your position is behind me. On the battlefield, anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy! "
Miao Yi obediently made Charcoal slow down, allowing Qin Weiwei to surpass him.
What did it mean to give someone a taste of their own medicine? This was the current situation. What Charcoal had done before, Qin Weiwei's mount was now doing the same.
Her mount probably wasn't as' smart 'as Charcoal, so it would be strange if she wasn't the one who ordered it.
A bunch of messy things came crashing down on Miao Yi and Charcoal, forcing Miao Yi to constantly invoke his transcendence energy to push them away. As time went by, the consumption of transcendence energy wasn't small, but he didn't dare to have any complaints. What he could do, there was no reason why others couldn't.
From time to time, Charcoal would let out an aggrieved 'neigh', but Miao Yi wouldn't allow it to retaliate.
Qin Weiwei stared ahead expressionlessly. Only she herself knew whether or not her heart was in pain.
In order to avoid being implicated, the others at the back scattered to the left and right. Each and every one of them looked at Miao Yi, who was obediently eating Qin Weiwei's dust with pitiful gazes.
Not long after, the group saw Yang Qing's troops lined up in a battle formation on a vast wasteland.
Seeing this formation, Qin Weiwei knew that they were preparing to face the enemy in a decisive battle. She quickly led the troops back into formation.
"Miao Yi!" Qin Weiwei suddenly called out softly as she kept her eyes on the front.
Miao Yi immediately urged Charcoal forward to obey his orders. Qin Weiwei raised her spear and pointed it forward. "Once we cross swords, you will be the vanguard!"
"..." She was abusing her position to avenge a personal grudge! Miao Yi braced himself and cupped his fists. "Your subordinate obeys!"
Hearing this, the pitiful gazes were once again cast towards Miao Yi.
Yan Xiu shook his head and sighed. Why was a surrendered soldier being so arrogant?
In front of them, a cultivator was riding a dragon steed in hot pursuit of another cultivator. It was obvious that it was the enemy's outpost that was chasing after the scout on this side.
Seeing the formation on this side, the enemy's outpost didn't dare to continue their pursuit, and quickly turned back.
On the other hand, the scout on their side quickly rushed in front of Yang Qing and stopped. He pointed to the back and reported, "Reporting to Mountain Chieftain. Lu Yu's troops have arrived!"
Yang Qing gave a slight nod, and waved his hand to dismiss the scout.
Soon, a rumbling sound quickly approached from the front. Even the ground could feel the tremors.
A herd of dragon steeds galloped over, and a black mass of over a thousand cultivators approached. They stopped four to five hundred meters away.
Miao Yi looked at the forces on his side, and then looked at the forces on the other side. He estimated that there were over a thousand cultivators on the other side, but there were less than five hundred on Yang Qing's side. He couldn't help but wonder if they could win this battle.
In reality, most of the manpower on Yang Qing's side came from the School of Blue Jade. Otherwise, the cultivators on a mountain wouldn't be able to gather so many people.
The enemy's formation made many of the people with lower cultivations on this side secretly cower. However, when the Cave Masters in front of them turned their heads and coldly swept a glance at them, they immediately forced themselves to perk up.
"Yang Qing, you traitor!"
A fierce roar exploded in mid-air like a sudden clap of thunder, reverberating across the wasteland.
Among the ten silver-armored cultivators on the other side, one of them wielded a Square Sky Decorated Halberd. He rode forward from his camp, pointing the halberd at Yang Qing as he shouted.
Yang Qing wasn't to be outdone. He also rode forward from his camp, pointing the silver spear in his hand at the other side as he shouted, "Lu Yu, you old traitor! How dare you bully me!"
"Yang Qing, you dog! I've treated you well, how dare you betray me!"
"Back then, I fought with my life on the line for you, and fought everywhere. Together with my brothers, I pushed you onto the Manor Head's throne. Even if I don't have any meritorious deeds, I still put in a lot of effort. But now, how are you treating me? You've been promoted on the surface but demoted in secret, you've gone too far! " Yang Qing's hair stood up in anger, and he had no other choice. He waved his spear and pointed it at the people on the other side. "Lu Yu, you old traitor, has no tolerance for others. My fate will serve as an example to all of you, brothers. Why don't you join me in exterminating this traitor? After we're done, I will forever be of one heart with all of you, brothers, and share the world's power of will!"
