Lan Susu and the others, who had just arrived, were also shocked. They had no idea why the Tempest Beast was acting so crazily. It was actually disobeying its master's commands.
Lan Susu suddenly looked in the direction of the flute's sound, and shouted, "Young Master, it's the flute's doing. Quickly, withdraw your spiritual beasts."
Bai Ziliang had long since known that it was the flute's doing. He just wanted to try and see if the Tempest Beast could overcome the flute's melody. How could the mighty Tempest Beast be affected by a mere flute's melody?
However, seeing that it was difficult to pacify the Tempest Beast, Bai Ziliang had no choice but to keep it in his beast sack.
"Chase after them!" Bai Ziliang was a little angry out of humiliation. He gave up on the speed advantage of their mounts and led his men on foot to chase after them.
From time to time, Gu Sanzheng and the others would turn around to look at them. This was a pleasant surprise. Needless to say, Tan Lao's' Great Art of Myriad Beasts' must have taken effect.
Not to mention them, even Tan Lao himself was astonished. The School of Imperial Beasts' Beast Taming Art was actually effective on Yao Sage Ji Huan's mount? That didn't seem possible, right?
Among the cultivators participating in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, the highest cultivation level was only at the Blue Lotus Ninth Grade. Gu Sanzheng and the other two could already be considered as one of the strongest cultivators participating in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Without the assistance of the Tempest Beast, the three of them weren't afraid that Bai Ziliang would catch up to them.
Now that the other party had retracted their spiritual beasts, Tan Lao stopped playing his flute. The three of them dashed across the sea together.
"Tan Lao! You're not bad! You can even tame a spirit beast from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, "Ye Xin praised in surprise.
"There's no way to subdue it. You've seen it for yourself. There's no way to subdue it. It's just a little interference. I can't shake the feeling that something's not right about this. I've only cultivated the Great Art of Myriad Beasts to the second stage. I can't affect such a spirit beast at all. It can only affect those with weak minds... "At this point, Tan Lao suddenly paused and kept turning his head to look at the source of the sound.
Gu Sanzheng asked, "What's wrong? Don't think too much about it. As long as it works, it's a good thing for us. "
"I understand now!" Tan Lao suddenly slapped his forehead.
Ye Xin asked curiously, "What did you understand?"
Tan Lao burst into laughter and said, "I know. This isn't Yao Sage Ji Huan's mount at all. Instead, it was just an infant Tempest Beast, not an adult Tempest Beast. It had not reached the stage where it could ride the clouds. Previously, I found it strange that the rules set by the Six Sages forbade us from bringing magic treasures of the Second Rank or flying mounts to the Conference. How could the Demonic Saint break the rules set by itself so openly? It turns out that it's just a cub. No wonder it's affected by my Wonderful Sound Spell. "
"I see!" Gu Sanzheng and Ye Xin exchanged glances and smiled. The latter revealed a rare radiant smile and said, "It seems like our luck isn't just average. We actually managed to bump into them."
"I'm afraid this isn't a good thing." Tan Lao suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Gu Sanzheng asked, "What do you mean?"
Tan Lao sighed, "The Six Sages have all sent their younger generations to compete in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. I've found a flaw in the one who's chasing us. It's definitely disadvantageous for him to compete with the people sent by the other Five Sages. As such, he'll definitely want to kill me. Gu Sanzheng, I'm afraid their first target will no longer be you, but me. It's very likely that they won't let us go! "
Gu Sanzheng and Ye Xin exchanged glances. Based on Tan Lao's words, they had a pretty good guess as well.
"It's just that the gourd in that person's hand is too powerful. Otherwise, we might not be afraid of him!" Ye Xin scoffed. She was a little indignant.
"Since he's representing the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons in the Conference, he naturally has an ultimate artifact. Otherwise, how could he possibly compete?!" Gu Sanzheng turned around and looked. He couldn't help but sigh, "That Miao Yi was quite a character after all. I didn't think he would fall to that person in a single exchange. That's fine too. Now that he's dead, if we can make it back alive, we'll be able to answer to our masters. It'll save us a lot of trouble. For now, we just need to focus on thinking of a way to escape. "
Inside a gray, misty space. Miao Yi and the others saw chains of various sizes crisscrossing the entire place. This was what they saw when they opened their eyes in a daze.
The dense demonic aura was like a dense fog. When Miao Yi opened his transcendence vision, he realized that he was trapped inside a giant gourd-shaped space. Considering the situation from before, it wasn't hard to guess where he was. Clearly, the small gourd artifact in the other party's hand was like a storage ring. It looked small on the outside, but contained a whole other world on the inside.
Miao Yi tried to move his body, but he realized that his limbs and waist were tightly bound. He couldn't move his body at all. He exerted all his transcendence energy to struggle, but all he heard was the sound of the chains swaying. He couldn't break free. He couldn't move at all.
"It's useless. You can't break free." Zhao Fei's sigh came from behind Miao Yi. He had clearly already tried. Even with his cultivation, he couldn't break free. Naturally, Miao Yi wouldn't be able to either.
Miao Yi couldn't move his body. He tried his best to turn his head and look. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Fei hanging behind him, bound by the chains.
"Is everyone alright? Xiuhong, where are you? "Miao Yi asked loudly. The gourd buzzed.
"I'm above you." Qi Xiuhong's voice came from below. Miao Yi lifted his head and saw that not only was Qi Xiuhong tied to the gourd, but even Qi Xiuhong's mount, wearing the Charcoal War Armor, was suspended to the side.
"We're here." Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun's voices came from below.
Miao Yi looked down and saw that the two of them were tied not too far away from his feet.
"F * ck him! My Mountain Suppressing Hammer! "
Miao Yi turned his head and saw Sikong Wuwei struggling not too far away to his right. A small hammer was tied not too far away from him. It was his Mountain Suppressing Hammer. It was only an arm's length away from him, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't grab it.
"F * ck him! If I get my hands on the Mountain Suppressing Hammer, I'll smash that stupid gourd of his in one strike. "Sikong Wuwei's body went limp after wasting so much effort. In the end, he gave up.
A top-tier Second Grade Transcendent Artifact like the Mountain Suppressing Hammer was extremely intricate. It wasn't as simple as it looked on the surface. It could transform into various forms, and its internal structure was inevitably complicated. That was why it couldn't be easily stored away like a regular Second Grade Transcendent Artifact. If the artifact was casually disassembled and then reassembled, there was a high chance that something would go wrong if the artifact wasn't careful.
There was another reason. Although the Mountain Suppressing Hammer looked small on the surface, it was easy to see how much Crystalline Obsidian had been used to make it. Once it was vaporized, it would turn into a sea of mist. Whether or not it could be stored away was still a problem.
That was why a transcendent artifact that had been refined to such a level would have its internal structure fixed to prevent any accidents. It wasn't like Miao Yi's Inversed-Scales Spear, which could be stored away at any time. The structure of such a transcendent artifact was very simple. It couldn't compare to a top-tier Second Grade Transcendent Artifact like the Mountain Suppressing Hammer.
Seeing Sikong Wuwei in such a state, Miao Yi couldn't help but laugh. "It seems everyone is fine."
"As if we're fine!" Sikong Wuwei glared at Miao Yi and said, "Why don't you take a good look at what's drilling in and out of our bodies? It's all demonic energy!"
After Sikong Wuwei's reminder, Miao Yi was shocked to realize that he was breathing in demonic energy. Not only that, the demonic energy could even slowly seep into his body through his pores. Unfortunately, he couldn't even stop breathing in the demonic energy. There was only demonic energy here for him to breathe in, unless he could hold it in and never breathe at all.
Miao Yi couldn't help exclaiming, "What's the meaning of this? Why would they go through all this trouble to kill us? "
Behind him, Zhao Fei sighed. "Can't you tell? They're trying to refine us into Yao Corpses! In just a few days, we'll all die from the demonic poison. When we wake up again, we won't be ourselves anymore. We'll either have to accept their control, or be killed for their Yao Cores. Among us, I'm afraid the only ones who won't be affected are the two down below. They're Yao cultivators to begin with. "
Miao Yi's hair stood on end as he listened. Just the thought of being refined into a Yao Corpse, then having their Yao Cores dissected, or even being used as a tool for others to risk their lives for no reason made him shudder. He couldn't help but struggle a little more, but it was useless.
"Sigh!" Sikong Wuwei suddenly let out a long sigh. His tone was filled with resignation as he said, "I've cultivated for so many years, but I still can't make it through the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade!" Then, he straightened his tone and cursed, "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have saved that bastard Hei Langjun. I should've let Gu Sanzheng kill him. Don't let me out, or I won't forgive him. I say, Miao Yi. What kind of stupid idea did you come up with? You didn't even manage to screw over the others, but we ended up screwing ourselves over instead. "
"How could I have known that they would still be able to chase us all the way here when they were being pursued by so many people?" Miao Yi replied. He struggled a little more, but he still couldn't accept his fate. He looked down and shouted, "Pi Junzi. Tao Yongchun. Both of you are Yao cultivators. Do you have any way to neutralize the threat of this demonic energy?"
"No. Unless we can get out of here!" Tao Yongchun sighed.
Unexpectedly, Pi Junzi suddenly cursed, "Miao Yi, you little bastard. I must've had eight lifetimes' worth of bad luck to run into you. Every time I see you, I'm doomed. I can't even hide from you. This time, I even lost my life. Weren't you so arrogant? Let's see how arrogant you can be now. I want to see you die with my own eyes. This is retribution … "
He cursed to his heart's content. He finally vented all the words he didn't dare to say in the past.
"Yo!" Sikong Wuwei was instantly amused. He laughed heartily and said, "This rat spirit is finally getting bold today. He finally said what he didn't dare to say. Now this is what you call speaking the truth from the bottom of his heart. Continue cursing. We're all ears! "
Miao Yi glared down and said angrily, "Pi Junzi. Just you wait. Once I get out of here, I will teach you a lesson!"
"Get out? You still want to get out? Dream on! "Pi Junzi laughed arrogantly." If you can get out of here, I will kneel down and call you Grandfather! "
"Bastard!" Miao Yi cursed, "Just you wait!"
"Ptooey!" Pi Junzi scorned, "Grandfather is right here. What can you do to me? Come on, come on. Grandfather will wait here for you without moving! "
Miao Yi was so angry that he shouted, "You've got guts! You've got guts! Pi Junzi, you'll cry! "
"Well said!" Tao Yongchun suddenly cursed as well, "Pi Junzi. I knew this bastard would die a horrible death. Back in the cave, he forced me to cover his retreat. Back on the sea, he used me as a ship. Now that we're here, he's forcing me to stay on the mountain …"
The two of them suddenly shut up and stared at the sky with widened eyes. Their faces were filled with fear.
