Miao Yi cursed out loud. He didn't give them any face at all, because he knew that he couldn't show weakness now. He had to make the other party think that he was confident.
Although the three of them were ashamed of themselves, they were indeed speechless. Although his words were unpleasant to hear, they didn't seem to be wrong. What did he say wrong? Originally, they were proud that they were disciples of the three great sects. But now, a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. Thinking about it, it seemed that they were indeed arrogant enough.
Gu Sanzheng said with a firm tone, "No matter how much we talk about it, there's no way we can avoid this fact. If we don't resolve the grudge between us, we will never work together!"
Miao Yi asked, "Could it be that your school sent you all to the Sea of Constellations just to kill me? Isn't your most important mission to get into the top 100? Taking a step back, do you not want to leave the Sea of Constellations alive? Why do you have to harm others and yourself to end things now? "
Gu Sanzheng asked, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing much!" Miao Yi shouted, "My words are still the same. We will live and die together for nine years, and in the final year, we will turn against each other! As long as we join forces, with the eight treasures working together, there's a high chance that we'll be able to charge into the top hundred. After we achieve our goal, we'll fight to the death. What do you think? "
This was indeed a good idea. The three of them exchanged glances, feeling a little tempted. However, it was hard for them to decide whether Miao Yi was sincere or not. If the two of them were to join forces, they would definitely be together for a long time. If the other party harbored any ill intentions, it would be very easy for them to be plotted against.
Seeing that they weren't saying anything, Miao Yi continued, "You don't have to worry about me playing any tricks. To put it bluntly, we have five powerful artifacts on our side, and we believe that victory is already in our grasp against you. If we really wanted to deal with you, we could have done so directly. There's no need for me to come here alone and take the risk to negotiate with you. 'I, Miao Yi, have already shown enough sincerity. For the sake of the greater good, I've set aside my personal grudges. Now, it all depends on how magnanimous you are. Will you work together for the greater good, or will you fight to the death for your personal grudges? Do as you wish! "
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his dragon steed around and boldly galloped back. Gu Sanzheng and the others watched as he left, but didn't make a move. Instead, they slowly sheathed their transcendent artifacts.
Miao Yi returned to his camp and jumped off his dragon steed. He immediately whispered to Pi Junzi and Tao Ruchun, "Why are you still hugging him? Why aren't you putting away your 'magic treasure'? Do you really want to hold it in your hands until others see through it? "
Miao Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes. He then whispered, "The color has faded. Hurry up and deal with the black stains on your hands."
Sikong Wuwei widened his eyes. Noticing that Tao Yongchun and Pi Junzi's palms were indeed covered in soot, he hurriedly turned around, afraid that his opponents would notice something amiss. Holding his cheeks, he laughed so hard that he almost cramped up. His lips were still leaking air intermittently.
He had always thought that the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade was quite dangerous, and in reality, it was indeed very dangerous. However, after spending some time with Miao Yi, he felt that the danger was only so-so. It wasn't that scary to be a little more daring. Instead, he often found it amusing.
Zhao Fei, however, couldn't bring himself to laugh. He was full of admiration for Miao Yi's earlier actions, but more than that, he felt sympathy for him. If Miao Yi was strong enough, why would he need to take such a risk? He had no other choice. In order to survive, he had to do everything he could. He didn't believe that Miao Yi wasn't afraid of death. Perhaps only Miao Yi himself understood the bitterness of his actions. This guy was a strong and courageous person.
On the other side. Gu Sanzheng said to his two silent companions, "He's waiting for our reply!"
What he meant was, 'What do you two think?'
Ye Xin asked, "What do you think?"
Gu Sanzheng sighed, "What he says makes sense. We were indeed a little too narrow-minded in the past. We were too fixated on petty grudges. Yet, he was able to take the initiative to reconcile despite having the upper hand. We can't compare to him in this regard. "
Ye Xin asked, "You want to ally with them?"
Gu Sanzheng asked, "If you two aren't against it, it will only be beneficial for us to ally with them."
"I have no objections." Ye Xin looked at Tan Lao as she spoke.
Tan Lao had been silent all this time. Gu Sanzheng then asked, "Tan Lao, do you think that you won't be able to explain yourself to Elder Wu if word of you allying with him gets back to the sect?"
Tan Lao silently nodded.
Gu Sanzheng pondered, "Perhaps it's because the onlookers see the game better than the players. Actually, he's right. Killing him isn't the most important thing. The most important mission the sect has given us is to make it into the top hundred and return alive. We know our current situation very well. Those Yao cultivators are constantly hunting us down. The ones we met earlier were all small fries. Once we meet an expert later on, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on. If word of us allying with them really gets back to the School of Imperial Beasts, you can explain it from another perspective. We are just using Miao Yi and the others. In reality, I do have plans to use them when we form an alliance with them. "
Ye Xin chimed in, "That's what I was thinking as well."
Gu Sanzheng patted Tan Lao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. It's just like Miao Yi said. We're only working together so that we can hold on until the very end. In the end, we will still have to go against him. He killed so many of our Sword Deviate Sect's disciples. Killing him won't just be your problem. I will have a part to play as well."
Ye Xin nodded and said, "He killed my Senior Uncle and my fellow disciples. When the time comes to kill him, I won't just stand by and watch."
Tan Lao finally let out a sigh and said, "Alright!"
When he saw the three of them riding over on their Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts, Miao Yi looked to his side and whispered, "I say, can the two of you not look so guilty? Can't you look a little more confident? Right now, they're the ones who are afraid of us, not the other way around. What the hell are you guys so nervous about?! "
Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun were a little embarrassed. However, when they thought about how this was a matter of life and death, they couldn't afford to be careless. They quickly adjusted their mentality and put on the airs of experts.
The three of them stopped in front of Gu Sanzheng and Tao Yongchun. They leaped down from their mounts, a gesture of goodwill. Gu Sanzheng led the way and nodded, "We agree to work together with you."
"A wise man submits to circumstances. I knew the three of you weren't the narrow-minded type." Miao Yi laughed heartily and praised them. Then, he looked behind the three of them and asked, "Where did the members of the Red Scarves Alliance go? Could it be that they've found a better backer and betrayed you again? Don't tell me even your fellow disciples have betrayed you as well? "
Gu Sanzheng calmly replied, "Thanks to you, we've offended someone we shouldn't have. Our fellow disciples are all dead, and the members of the Red Scarves Alliance are mostly dead as well. There aren't even a hundred of us left, so we went our separate ways. The Red Scarves Alliance no longer exists."
Miao Yi's heart tightened. 'Could it be that he's already figured out that I was framing him as' Niu Youde '?' He pretended to be surprised and asked, "How did this happen?"
Gu Sanzheng was about to leave Burning Island and briefly explained the bloody battle that had taken place all the way here.
Miao Yi relaxed. 'So the other party was still in the dark.'
Sikong Wuwei and Pi Junzi secretly glanced at the culprit, Miao Yi. Only Tao Yongchun was confused.
Zhao Fei furrowed his brows and said, "You're saying that those Yao cultivators have been chasing after you all this time? In other words, they'll be here soon?"
"That's right!" Gu Sanzheng didn't hide it.
When Miao Yi finally realized what was going on, his expression froze. He realized that he'd failed miserably. How was this an alliance? They were clearly inviting disaster upon themselves. This was no different from turning them into the unlucky bastards of the Red Scarves Alliance that had been following Gu Sanzheng's group. Hell, they'd been tricked instead.
He knew that the Red Scarves Alliance was doomed. However, he didn't expect the entire Sea Tribe to be mobilized as spies to keep an eye on Gu Sanzheng's group at all times. If that was the case, wouldn't this alliance have to continue being pursued?
"What's wrong?" Gu Sanzheng asked calmly, "Could it be that you're afraid and want to go back on your word?"
Miao Yi coughed dryly and said, "I wouldn't go back on my word. I just feel that what you're doing is a little unethical."
Gu Sanzheng was about to retort when he saw Sikong Wuwei staring at the distant sea and said, "They came so quickly. Speaking of which, they really did come."
Everyone turned to look in the direction Sikong Wuwei was looking at and saw a group of people hurrying towards them. Judging from their attire, they were undoubtedly Yao cultivators. A rough estimate told them that there were around thirty to forty of them.
"They're just a few dozen people. We have eight great transcendent artifacts in our hands. These people are nothing to be afraid of." Miao Yi turned to look at the Gu Sanzheng trio and changed the topic, "Previously, I took the risk to express my sincerity to the three of you. Shouldn't the three of you show some sincerity as well? Since the three of you were able to kill your way here, I believe dealing with these few dozen people shouldn't be a problem at all! Don't worry. If anything happens, we won't just stand by and watch. "
He had no other choice. He didn't expect people to attack them right after they formed an alliance. If he were to attack them all at once, the two imposters, Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun, would immediately be exposed. He even prepared a good show where the two of them would 'lose' their transcendent artifacts so that the other party wouldn't see through his lies and turn against him.
Gu Sanzheng and the other two were prideful people. They didn't want to push the blame onto one another, so they didn't?? Gather?? To put it bluntly.
The three of them turned their Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts around and waited for the Yao cultivators to come ashore. Just as they were about to charge in, a sudden rumble came from the forest beside them. They turned to look and saw seven steeds galloping towards them. Their eyes widened in shock. Just the majestic aura of the steed of the leader alone made them gasp.
"The Tempest Beasts of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons!" Tan Lao exclaimed in shock. As a member of the School of Imperial Beasts, he was naturally quite familiar with spiritual beasts.
Tao Yongchun and Pi Junzi exchanged glances when they saw Hei Langjun amongst the group.
The expressions on Zhao Fei and the others immediately changed.
"The three of us don't have the strength to deal with both of them. Since Brother Miao has arranged for us to deal with a large group of Yao cultivators, we will naturally obey. I believe the transcendent artifacts in your hands should be enough to deal with a small group of Yao cultivators!" Gu Sanzheng turned around and shouted, "Attack!"
He quickly led Tan Lao and Ye Xin towards the shore. They weren't fools. They knew that the cultivators of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons weren't that easy to deal with. They had only just formed an alliance with Miao Yi's group, and they didn't have much of a relationship with them. There was no reason for them to throw their lives away with them. Naturally, they used Miao Yi's words as an excuse to run as far away as possible.
"Brother Gu …" Miao Yi waved his hand and called out to them, wanting to switch opponents with the other three. However, Gu Sanzheng and the others ran away so quickly that they didn't even turn around. They pretended not to hear him at all.
