He knew that someone from the Realm Beyond Heaven had come to the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, but he didn't expect it to be his Little Sister.
He hadn't expected to meet his Third Brother, whom he had missed for many years, right after escaping with Qi Xiuhong's corpse. He didn't know whether he was surprised or happy, bitter or happy, sad or happy. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.
His Little Sister had grown up. She was no longer the little girl who lived in the dirty yard behind the pork stall. She was now the famous disciple of the Six Sages and one of the 'Twin Immortals Beyond Heaven' — Fairy Yue Yao.
When he was staring at Yue Yao just now, he almost blurted out "Old Third" uncontrollably. However, looking at the imposing Fairy Yue Yao, and then at the desperate man he was, he swallowed the words back down.
What right did he have to acknowledge her? Third Sister had cried from hunger and cold with him. She had never eaten good food or worn good clothes. She had lived in a dirty and broken courtyard. She had been sent away by him at a very young age. For so many years, Third Sister had shouldered all her joys, sorrows, and joys alone. Had he ever fulfilled his responsibility as the eldest brother? Now that he saw his Little Sister in front of him, he immediately acknowledged her? What about the time when the third brother suffers? No one could avoid suffering. Where had he been when his Little Sister was suffering? What had he done to help her?
His Little Sister was now Fairy Yue Yao, who was as famous as Fairy Hong Chen! Her status was inviolable, and the Realm Beyond Heaven would surely protect her dignity. Everyone who came here was of high status. If others found out that the high and mighty Fairy Yue Yao had a butcher's brother who lived such a hard life, wouldn't they laugh at her?
If his Little Sister saw his Big Brother in such a sorry state, unable to even protect his own woman, what would she think of him?
Make his Little Sister sympathize with him? Take care of him? And then he would become a joke to his Little Sister?
Miao Yi could finally relax when he thought about how he had been forced into such a sorry state by Bai Ziliang, and how Yue Yao had scared Bai Ziliang and the others off with just a few words. He might never be able to reach his Little Sister's level in this lifetime. She no longer needed him to take care of her.
Looking at the dazzling Fairy Yue Yao, the thing that Miao Yi was most uncertain about was whether his little sister would be willing to acknowledge him as her good-for-nothing big brother...
Zhao Fei and the others stole a curious glance at Miao Yi. He didn't know why Miao Yi didn't announce his identity when he greeted him.
Yue Yao was not in the mood to pay attention to these things, so she did not ask too many questions. She looked in the direction that Bai Ziliang and the others had disappeared in and said to the others, "They have already left. This is all I can do. I can't possibly gather all the cultivators from the Celestial Nation to protect them all the time. That would be against the rules. I could only put on an unreasonable look to scare him. You can kill him, but I can't do that. Be careful on the road ahead. Don't meet him again. Avoid him if you can. Hopefully, I'll be able to see you all in the Western Constellations Palace. We can't stay here any longer. There should be other Yao cultivators coming this way to cause trouble for you, Gu Sanzheng. That's all I have to say. All of you, hurry up and leave! "
"Thank you, Lord Sixth!" Miao Yi and the others cupped their fists in thanks.
Yue Yao nodded. Riding on her Jade Lion, she quickly left with her subordinates.
Miao Yi turned around and stared at the back of the figure riding on the Jade Lion.
"I thought you all were already dead. I didn't think you would actually be able to destroy that transcendent artifact and escape!" Gu Sanzheng cupped his fists towards Miao Yi and the others and said, "I'm impressed!"
"How could a mere gourd trap us?!" Sikong Wuwei boasted shamelessly. He then laughed heartily and said, "Our fates are truly not fated to die! To think that a noble would lend a helping hand at such a crucial moment and allow us to escape two calamities in a row. This is a life of great fortune! "
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, feeling a sense of relief at having survived a calamity. However, Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun were smiling awkwardly. The Sea of Constellations was also under the Yao Nation's sphere of influence. As citizens of the Yao Nation, they had actually offended that master just now within the Yao Nation's borders. How were they supposed to live in the future?
"Where should we go next?" Tan Lao looked at Gu Sanzheng and asked. Gu Sanzheng had always been the leader among the three of them.
"Ask him!" Gu Sanzheng nodded at Miao Yi and said, "He is more capable than us in this regard."
This wasn't a lie. Everyone had personally witnessed Miao Yi's authority in this regard.
Of course, Gu Sanzheng had another reason for saying this. Yue Yao's words earlier had reminded him that there were still other Yao cultivators looking for trouble with him. As the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade progressed, there would be more and more experts remaining. Gu Sanzheng would also need helpers. By saying this, he naturally meant that they were still allies.
Everyone turned to look at Miao Yi, only to realize that he was still staring in the direction Fairy Yue Yao had left with a dazed look on his face.
Sikong Wuwei suddenly stuck his head in front of Miao Yi and chuckled, "So this is the legendary Fairy Yue Yao! Brother Miao, you've never seen such a beautiful woman before, have you? Stop spacing out. A woman like her is high up in the sky. We can only look at her from afar. At most, we can only fantasize about her. Don't even think of trying to get close to her. Otherwise, we'll only invite a whole lot of trouble. The suitors of a woman like her are all top-notch nobles in the cultivation realm. We don't even have the right to get close to her. If someone misunderstands us, we won't even know how we died! Well, beauties are a source of trouble. Let's just focus on what's in front of us. As long as we make it back alive, we'll have a manor full of beauties to choose from. Wake up! "
"If you don't know how to talk, then shut up!" Zhao Fei angrily rebuked. He quickly shot a glance at the storage ring on Miao Yi's finger.
Sikong Wuwei was taken aback. He glanced at the storage ring and obediently shut his mouth. Qi Xiuhong had just died, and it wasn't as if he hadn't seen how Miao Yi was trapped in the gourd earlier. How could he possibly be in the mood to think of another woman?
Qi Xiuhong's body was still fresh, and he had already said something like that. He knew that he had said the wrong thing. Slap! He slapped himself!
Miao Yi snapped out of his daze by Zhao Fei's rebuke. He turned around and asked, "What?"
"..." Sikong Wuwei was taken aback. As it turned out, Miao Yi hadn't heard anything at all. His words had gone to waste, and his slap had gone to waste as well.
Everyone exchanged glances, confused as to why Sikong Wuwei had lost his composure like that. Could he really have been mesmerized by Fairy Yue Yao's beauty? This wasn't a good thing!
In truth, Zhao Fei and the others were well aware that even though Sikong Wuwei's words were harsh, a woman like Fairy Yue Yao wasn't someone people like them had the right to touch. If they were to get too close to her, they could easily invite disaster upon themselves. Not to mention, the person who would kill them would be someone they couldn't even put up a fight against. It wasn't purely because of Fairy Yue Yao's beauty. More importantly, it was because of her background. And the combination of her top-notch beauty and her top-notch background was even more terrifying.
"Hmph! You men are all the same. Don't even look at each other! "Ye Xin suddenly scoffed.
Tan Lao immediately replied with a fawning tone, "You're a stunning beauty as well!"
"Tan Lao, do you have a death wish?" Ye Xin berated him, but her bright eyes shot a sideways glance at Gu Sanzheng.
Noticing her gaze, Tan Lao sighed inwardly. He couldn't deny that Ye Xin was indeed beautiful. As the saying goes, affection grows with time. He was indeed a little fond of her. However, the same principle applied to Ye Xin as well. He could tell that Ye Xin seemed to be interested in Gu Sanzheng, which made him a little depressed.
Gu Sanzheng scrutinized Miao Yi, who had just snapped out of his daze, and went back to the main topic at hand. "Everyone is discussing where to go next. You have experience in this area, so you should make the decision."
Miao Yi initially wanted to wait for Charcoal. However, Yue Yao had already made it very clear. Staying any longer would only put them in greater danger. Right now, the most important thing was to think of a way to avoid danger.
Miao Yi quickly reined in his emotions and calmed himself down. After pondering for a moment, he said, "I recall that the map of the Western Star Sea has marked out some of the more dangerous forbidden areas. Let's find the nearest one and head there as soon as possible. We'll settle down temporarily and avoid the search for Gu Sanzheng first. If we encounter another strong foe, we can use the dangerous environment to take shelter."
"Isn't that a little inappropriate?" Tan Lao asked, "If we head to the forbidden areas, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't die in the hands of a strong foe and instead die in the forbidden areas?"
Miao Yi explained, "It's not like we're going to die by barging into the forbidden areas. It's just that when we encounter a strong foe, we can make use of their fear of the forbidden areas to help us escape. We don't have to venture too deep."
Gu Sanzheng nodded and said, "That's right. The most dangerous place is also the safest place. We have no objections." He was making the decision for Tan Lao and Ye Xin.
"We've been together for so long. I trust Brother Miao's judgment." Sikong Wuwei chuckled.
Zhao Fei nodded in agreement.
Pi Junzi and Tao Ruchun didn't have the right to make the decision. They could only follow along. Miao Yi and the others didn't have any objections if they didn't want to follow. They could just go their separate ways. It didn't make a difference whether the two of them were there or not.
The group quickly took out the map of the Western Star Sea they were given and found their location. After checking, Gu Sanzheng raised his head and said, "There's a slightly larger island in the southwest direction. It's the one marked with the name 'Skyfire Mountain'. It's quite close to here as well. What do you think?"
The map of the Western Star Sea didn't have a name marked on it. Any place with a name marked on it would be a forbidden area. For example, there was a place marked with the name 'Western Constellations Palace'. That was definitely a forbidden area. None of the participants would dare to trespass there.
Miao Yi nodded. He didn't object, and everyone settled on that. They quickly found their direction and left...
It was definitely not a good thing to provoke the people of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons in the Sea of Constellations. It was impossible to get away with it so easily.
Even though Fu Qing of the Western Constellations Palace had already ordered non-participating sea tribes to not interfere with the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, Lan Susu had used the name of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons. Naturally, there were sea tribes that wanted to curry favor with Bai Ziliang and secretly serve him.
Along the way, Lan Susu also used the name of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons to gather two groups of Yao cultivators who were rushing over to find Niu Youde.
After the sea tribes confirmed that Miao Yi and the others had parted ways with Fairy Yue Yao, Bai Ziliang determined where Miao Yi and the others were headed. Then, Bai Ziliang immediately led over a hundred Yao cultivators in pursuit.
