Qi Xiuhong was the only one with a mount here, so there was no way she could run away. It would be a waste to join forces with Gu Sanzheng and the others.
"Judging from Tan Lao's words, those people should be sent by Yao Sage Ji Huan. We don't even have to try to know that we're no match for them." Zhao Fei asked, "What should we do now?"
Miao Yi didn't know what to do at the moment. He stared at Hei Langjun, who was among the troops that had just arrived. He had no choice but to try his best. However, Hei Langjun had seen him mingling with Gu Sanzheng and the others just now, so he wasn't sure if it would work.
"Pi Junzi, Tao Yongchun. We saved Hei Langjun before. Just tell them that we're on the same side as them …" Miao Yi quickly instructed.
Tao Yongchun didn't mind. He had been following Hei Langjun to begin with. He was only temporarily staying with Miao Yi to protect himself. Now that he saw Hei Langjun's glorious return, he was overjoyed. Naturally, he wanted to return to Hei Langjun's side. There was no need for him to worry about Miao Yi any longer.
Pi Junzi had no choice but to comply. The two of them quickly ran in the direction that Hei Langjun and the others had come from.
The person who had come was none other than the representative of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, Bai Ziliang. He was riding on the Tempest Beast, accompanied by his subordinates. It was truly an awe-inspiring sight.
When Bai Ziliang saw that the two Yao beasts were approaching and that Gu Sanzheng was already engaged in battle with the other Yao beasts, he raised his hand and stopped.
"Alliance Master!" Tao Yongchun and Pi Junzi ran over and cupped their fists towards Hei Langjun.
Lan Susu tilted her head and asked Hei Langjun, "Is this your subordinate?"
"They're just two traitors. How dare they come to see me!" Hei Langjun said.
Tao Yongchun and Pi Junzi were a little confused. Behind them, Miao Yi and the others also stopped in their tracks when they heard the commotion. What was going on?
Before they could understand what was going on, Hei Langjun pointed at Gu Sanzheng and said, "Young Master, that person is Gu Sanzheng. These people are with Gu Sanzheng. If they aren't traitors, then what are they?"
Sikong Wuwei immediately said in a clear voice, "Brother Hei, don't you recognize us? We saved your life!"
Hei Langjun cupped his fists and said, "Young Master. This lowly one does not know what their intentions are. This lowly one does not know them at all. "
The reason why he fell out with Gu Sanzheng was simple. He wouldn't be able to get the credit for killing or capturing Gu Sanzheng, but he didn't want to let go of the credit for exposing him. However, at the end of the day, the credit for reporting and exposing Bai Ziliang still belonged to Pi Junzi. If Pi Junzi were to tell the truth, he was worried that he would have nothing to do with it, and that Pi Junzi would steal the credit. He was also worried that his previous ambiguous words to Bai Ziliang would be exposed.
And the reason for not recognizing Miao Yi and the others was very simple. It wasn't easy for him to get acquainted with Bai Ziliang. Bai Ziliang was a great backer for him to rely on during the Subjugation Crusade. How could he let go of such a great backer? If he were to acknowledge Miao Yi and the others, he was afraid that he would expose the fact that he had used his two women as his shields and fled in panic. If he ended up provoking Bai Ziliang's ire because of this, wouldn't he be in deep trouble?
What is a vile person? Even the tiniest of trifles could attract vengeful people. These people were self-centered and had no tolerance for others. As the saying went, it was better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Because if you offended a villain, you wouldn't even know how you offended him before you attracted an undeserved disaster.
Hei Langjun was a despicable person, and Miao Yi and the others were people who had somehow offended him.
"Screw you! It's more likely that you're blind. Don't you recognize Grandpa? Do you recognize the hammer in Grandpa's hand?! " Sikong Wuwei bellowed angrily. He didn't expect to save this ingrate. With a flip of his hand, he flashed the Mountain Suppressing Hammer and abruptly enlarged it to carry it on his shoulder.
Who would have thought that Gu Sanzheng, who was still engaged in battle in the distance, was no pushover either. When he saw Hei Langjun among them, and that Miao Yi and Hei Langjun were conversing, Gu Sanzheng assumed that they were acquainted with each other. He immediately invoked his arts and shouted, "Brother Miao. Since you and I have formed an alliance, why haven't we made a move to kill these evildoers?"
Now that things had come to this … How could he let Miao Yi and the others stay out of this? Naturally, he had to think of a way to help Miao Yi and the others fend off this powerful enemy.
Miao Yi's expression changed slightly as he groaned in his heart. 'That bastard Gu Sanzheng is purposely setting me up.'
As expected. Hei Langjun pointed at Miao Yi and the others and shouted, "Young Master, they are indeed in cahoots."
There were many loopholes in their conversation, but Lan Susu couldn't wait any longer. It wasn't easy for them to get ahead of the others. She didn't want Niu Youde to fall into the hands of the others. Two Chlorine and Chlorine; The Post Toes Dark Broken Bones Treacherous Meng Lue Cuddling
The expressions on Miao Yi and the others' faces changed drastically.
One of Bai Ziliang's subordinates immediately tossed out an ancient black bell. With a flash of blue light, the bell enlarged in the air, and a gigantic bell immediately loomed over them.
"F * ck you!" With no way out, Sikong Wuwei cursed out loud. The Mountain Suppressing Hammer immediately enlarged to its maximum size, and he swung it with a thunderous boom.
'Boom! ' A deafening boom resounded. The sound of such a gigantic hammer striking against such a gigantic bell was so loud that it was as though the bell of heaven and earth itself had been struck. Everyone's ears went numb from the impact.
In terms of transcendent artifacts of this level, there were very few artifacts that could defeat the Mountain Suppressing Hammer in a head-on clash. Sikong Wuwei didn't know who had refined such a clumsy transcendent artifact that specialized in smashing things.
The gigantic bell's radiance dimmed on the spot, and it was immediately smashed back to its original size. It was almost smashed to pieces as it was sent flying.
The subordinate who had cast the transcendent artifact was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect the transcendent artifact to meet its nemesis the moment he threw it out. It was immediately smashed back to its original size.
Gu Sanzheng turned around to take a look, and Tan Lao exclaimed, "This hammer is indeed powerful!"
At this point, he had no choice but to put his life on the line. With a flip of his hand, the Mystic Yin Mirror appeared in his hand. He abruptly spewed out a torrent of cold Yin energy that swept across the area.
Bai Ziliang remained calm as he sat atop the Tempest Beast, facing the oncoming wave of cold Yin energy. He looked completely unfazed, as though he didn't care about these attacks at all.
Beside him, Lan Susu casually tossed out a silver handkerchief. With a flash of blue light, a gigantic handkerchief immediately appeared in front of everyone, blocking the Mystic Yin Mirror's attack.
Seeing that his opponent had an artifact that rendered his attacks ineffective, his transcendence energy couldn't sustain the Mystic Yin Mirror for long either. Thus, the cold Yin energy he spewed out was instantly sucked back into the Mystic Yin Mirror.
Lan Susu made a grabbing motion, and the handkerchief that had reverted back to its original form flew back into her hand.
Zhao Fei brandished the Spirit Illusion Greatsword, and it instantly transformed into a million images that shot towards his opponent.
As soon as this artifact appeared, his opponent immediately panicked. He realized that everything he saw was just an illusion, and he couldn't tell which was real and which was fake. He had no idea how to defend himself against the attacks from the real and the fake at any moment.
Unfortunately, Sikong Wuwei had already struck out with his Mountain Suppressing Hammer once more, bringing a thunderous roar as it came crashing down.
Bai Ziliang finally couldn't sit still any longer. He pulled out the black gourd at his waist and removed the mouth of the gourd. A dense demonic aura instantly gushed out from the mouth of the gourd, forming a gray mist that resembled a tornado as it shot towards the oncoming Mountain Suppressing Hammer.
The gray mist enveloping the Mountain Suppressing Hammer quickly retracted back into the gourd. Strangely, the Mountain Suppressing Hammer disappeared as well, as though it had been sucked back into the gourd along with the demonic mist.
"My Mountain Suppressing Hammer!" Sikong Wuwei cried out in shock, his heart aching terribly.
Zhao Fei's eyes flashed, and the Spirit Illusion Greatsword immediately focused its attacks on Bai Ziliang. However, the demonic mist from the gourd in Bai Ziliang's hand shot out once more. The tornado quickly expanded in size, enveloping all the Spirit Illusion Greatsword phantoms that were flying around.
Clanging sounds could be heard coming from within the demonic mist. Bai Ziliang suddenly scoffed, and the clanging sounds within the demonic mist disappeared as well.
"Not good!" Zhao Fei exclaimed in shock. He could sense that his Spirit Illusion Greatsword was being dragged away by something.
The demonic mist once again retracted back into the gourd, and the Spirit Illusion Greatsword phantoms that filled the sky disappeared along with the demonic mist.
Gu Sanzheng and the others weren't the only ones who were shocked by the sight. Even Miao Yi and the others were breaking out in cold sweat. Just what kind of transcendent artifact was that gourd in Bai Ziliang's hand? Why was it so powerful?
The mouth of the gourd in Bai Ziliang's hand suddenly turned towards Miao Yi and the others.
"Not good! Run! "Miao Yi shouted. Even though he didn't have a mount, he still instinctively turned around and ran for his life.
Whoosh! Within the mouth of the gourd, the demonic mist as dense as a tornado instantly surged towards them. As Miao Yi and the others were enveloped within, they immediately realized that the demonic mist was not as simple as it seemed. There were actually countless chains within the demonic mist, and they were wriggling about like tentacles.
Before they could even react, the chains within the demonic mist wrapped around their wrists, limbs, waists, and necks, and dragged them away.
The demonic mist retracted back into the gourd. Miao Yi, Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, Qi Xiuhong, Pi Junzi, and Tao Yongchun were nowhere to be seen. They had all vanished into thin air along with the demonic mist.
Gu Sanzheng and the others were shocked beyond words when they saw what was going on. Just what kind of transcendent artifact was that? How could it capture anything?
The three of them could only sigh in admiration. As expected of someone from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons. They were no match for them at all.
"Run!" Gu Sanzheng shouted. What was the point of fighting? Running away was the wisest choice.
The three of them immediately gave up on chasing after the remaining enemies. Their flying mounts charged towards the seaside and rose into the sky. They kept their mounts in mid-air, then landed on the surface of the sea and ran for their lives.
"After them!" Bai Ziliang, who had stuffed the mouth of the gourd shut, waved his hand and led the others in pursuit.
On the surface of the sea, Tan Lao anxiously said, "We can't keep running like this. The Tempest Beast can ride on the clouds and fly. It's even easier for it to tread on the waves. We won't be able to escape its pursuit."
Ye Xin angrily said, "The Subjugation Crusade forbids the use of flying mounts. How dare the Six Sages ignore the rules they set themselves? This is outrageous!"
"Tan Lao. The art you used to control those flying beasts with your flute earlier, was it the School of Imperial Beasts' Great Art of Myriad Beasts'?" Gu Sanzheng asked.
"I know what you're trying to say. I've only cultivated that art to the second layer. I can still control some small creatures, but I can't even control a dragon steed, much less a Tempest Beast." Tan Lao shook his head.
Gu Sanzheng turned to look at their pursuers and anxiously said, "We don't have time to worry about that now. No matter what, we have to try."
Tan Lao laughed bitterly. He had no choice but to try everything he could. He took out his bronze-colored flute, placed it by his lips, and began to play it. The sound of the flute was either gentle, melodious, or ear-piercing, and reverberated across the surface of the sea.
The Tempest Beast truly lived up to its reputation. Its speed was far superior to that of a dragon steed. Bai Ziliang had already shaken off his subordinates and was running on the waves in pursuit. Regardless of whether they were on land or on the sea, he didn't slow down at all.
