'What do you mean the six of us? You're the only one who can't cultivate good deeds. Don't drag us into this mess! '
Kong Zhi and the others rolled their eyes at his words. However, they were already used to this bastard's antics. It wasn't like this was their first time interacting with him.
This bastard was practically the scum of the Realm of High Paradise. It was common for him to curse his master behind his back. He had been running away from his master ever since he was young, and would escape again and again after being captured. If it were any other master, he would have been killed long ago. At the very least, he would have been kicked out of the sect with his legs broken and his cultivation crippled.
However, Grandmaster Qi Jie protected him. Even though he would be severely punished every time he caused trouble, this bastard wasn't afraid at all. If it weren't for the fact that the Jie School only had a single disciple and that Grandmaster Qi Jie was the only disciple Grandmaster Qi Jie had taken in all these years, he would have been killed by the people of the Realm of High Paradise a long time ago.
In short, all the mountains in the Realm of High Paradise warned their disciples to keep their distance from Grandmaster Qi Jie's disciple, Ba Jie, lest they be led astray. This was a painful lesson learned in the past.
"I've already played the role of the villain. It's your turn now!" Ba Jie turned around and waved, "Kong Zhi, go!"
Kong Zhi was speechless. 'Just who's listening to whom on this trip? Are you the villain, or am I the villain?'
The Yao cultivators panicked at Ba Jie's words. They didn't dare to face him head-on and quickly fled to the side.
Ba Jie watched the commotion from the side. He ran away as if it had nothing to do with him.
Helpless, Kong Zhi casually took out a Blood Kasaya. It expanded several hundred times in the air, as though it was about to cover the entire sky. Suddenly, it came crashing down, shrouding the group of Yao cultivators along with their dragon steeds. Then, it shrank rapidly …
"Miao Yi, do you want me to invite you?" Ye Xin said angrily to Miao Yi. She didn't know what Miao Yi was doing, but he still hadn't given up on his dragon steed and climbed onto her Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beast.
Gu Sanzheng and the others looked at Miao Yi as well. He was still hesitating, so the other two Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts couldn't escape at full speed.
Miao Yi stared at the barren mountain in front of him and took a deep breath, as though he had made his final decision. He turned to look at the others. He said solemnly, "Turn around immediately. I'll help you lure Bai Ziliang away!"
Sikong Wuwei glared at him and said, "Brat, don't worry. Regardless of cultivation or age, it's not your turn to play the hero here. If you want to leave, let's leave together! "
"Together?" Miao Yi asked, "Gu Sanzheng, can three Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts escape from Bai Ziliang's Tempest Beast?"
"No!" Gu Sanzheng gritted his teeth and said, "If worst comes to worst, the three Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts can split up and escape. Let's see how many of them can escape!"
"Then I might as well go on my own!" Miao Yi said, "It's fine even if I'm not with you. I won't be of much help even if I go with you guys, but if I separate you guys, once Bai Ziliang kills one of you, the remaining two won't even have the ability to resist when the treasures are teamed up against him. "
Tan Lao said solemnly, "Then we'll continue leading them like this. In any case, Bai Ziliang is the only one who can keep up with us. He won't dare to approach us alone."
Miao Yi shook his head and said, "You're just lying to yourself. If we continue wasting time on the island like this, our mounts won't be able to keep up with him. He can take his time to finish us off, and none of us will be able to escape. "Miao Yi shook his head.
Sikong Wuwei said angrily, "Then we'll leave this damned island and find another way out on the ocean!"
Miao Yi said, "Once we're out on the ocean, we'll lose our advantage as mounts, and we won't be able to outrun his Tempest Beasts. He's still a little wary of us here on Skyfire Mountain, so we won't have any more help. Once we're out on the ocean, as a member of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons, he'll have too many resources at his disposal. After all, the Western Star Sea is their territory."
"We can't go left either. We can't go right either. You think you can do it alone? "Sikong Wuwei said angrily," Why don't we just turn around and fight it out with them?! "
"Do I need you to tell me if I can win?" Miao Yi said solemnly, "Listen to me. I'll lure Bai Ziliang away on my own and buy you guys as much time as possible. Once your Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts start moving at full speed, you won't be able to catch up to them. Now that there are no eyes in the sky watching you, you can use this opportunity to shake them off. You can run in whichever direction you want. After that, no matter how fast Bai Ziliang's Tempest Beasts are, he won't be able to find you in a short amount of time if he can't. This is your chance to think of a way to shake him off. You can decide how you want to do it based on the situation. This is all I can do! "
Zhao Fei frowned in silence. Gu Sanzheng asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"
"I have my own ways of dealing with this. Who knows, I might even be luckier than you guys!" Miao Yi joked, "What if Bai Ziliang doesn't chase after me and instead gathers his forces to chase after you guys? Who knows, you might end up being the ones luring the pursuers away for me instead!"
Gu Sanzheng said, "You've already tested Bai Ziliang's movements just now. You should know the consequences!"
"We're not far from that mountain. My mount's speed isn't as fast as Bai Ziliang's, so I still need you guys to buy me some time. You guys slow down a little. Bai Ziliang won't dare to approach you guys on his own. Once I reach the foot of the mountain, you guys can immediately turn around and leave. I'll think of a way to delay him!"
Miao Yi said. "The closer we get to that mountain, the hotter it gets. Can you handle it?"
Miao Yi didn't answer. Instead, he turned to the two behind him and said, "Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei. Don't forget the promise you made to Qi Xiuhong when you were trapped in the gourd artifact!"
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei looked over in shock! Tao Ruchun and Pi Junzi also looked over in shock!
"Hyah!" Miao Yi bellowed. In order to lighten the burden on his mount as much as possible, as well as reduce the consumption of transcendence energy, he retracted his armor artifact and brandished his sword artifact, stabbing his mount's bottom until it bled. The mount neighed in pain and abruptly sped up a little. It charged ahead of the three Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts, leaving a trail of sparks behind it as it hurried towards the mountain.
"Listen to him. Help him slow down the beasts behind him!" Zhao Fei instructed as he tossed the Spirit Illusion Greatsword into the air. In an instant, the greatsword transformed into thousands of greatswords and shot towards the beasts behind them.
Bai Ziliang, who was in hot pursuit, was taken aback and immediately slowed down. However, he soon realized that the other party couldn't attack from that far away and was just trying to scare him. However, he still didn't dare to run too fast. He stared at Miao Yi, who was already ahead of him.
As he slowed down, Lan Susu and the others behind him slowly closed the distance between them and Bai Ziliang.
"Qi Xiuhong is the woman who died?" After parting ways with Miao Yi, Gu Sanzheng turned around and asked, "What promise did you make to her?"
"Her cultivation was only at White Lotus Fifth Grade. Because her Manor Head lusted after her beauty, she refused and was forced to come to the Sea of Constellations to die. Before she died, we promised her that if we could return alive, we would avenge her! "Sikong Wuwei said with a heavy tone.
Gu Sanzheng, Tan Lao, and Ye Xin exchanged glances. They didn't expect Miao Yi to still be concerned about this matter even at this point. The three of them stared at Miao Yi's departing figure and instantly understood that he had already prepared himself for the worst.
The three of them had a complicated look in their eyes. They didn't know if Miao Yi would give them another chance to avenge their three major sects.
Gu Sanzheng looked up to the heavens and let out a long sigh. There was nothing he could do in this place. What was right and what was wrong, what was wrong, what was wrong, and what was gratitude and grudges. It was better to drag out an ignoble existence.
Up ahead, Miao Yi arrived at the foot of the mountain and charged up. Gu Sanzheng immediately shouted, "Let's go!"
The three Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts quickly changed direction. They no longer had to intentionally slow down in order to keep their dragon steeds company. The three spiritual beasts abruptly increased their speed to the limit as they circled around the foot of the mountain.
Bai Ziliang, who was chasing from behind, furrowed his brows. He looked at the three steeds speeding away, then looked at Miao Yi, who was rushing towards the top of the mountain.
As expected, Bai Ziliang waved his hand and shouted, "You guys go after them, I'll take care of the ones on the mountain!"
"Young Master! Be careful, I'll go with you! "Lan Susu hurriedly reminded him, afraid that something might happen to Bai Ziliang.
However, the speed of her mount couldn't keep up with the Tempest Beast's full speed. Not to mention, judging by the sweat beading on her forehead, Bai Ziliang knew that she was having a hard time as well. It would be even more difficult for her once she reached the top of the mountain. He immediately nodded and said, "Sit behind me! You guys go after them. Make sure to keep an eye on them and don't let them get away. Once I'm done with the ones on the mountain, I'll immediately come find you guys! "
Pang Duo and the others obeyed and turned around to chase after Zhao Fei and the others.
Lan Susu flew up and sat behind Bai Ziliang. Her mount immediately let out a desperate neigh and struggled within a ball of flames. The Tempest Beast immediately accelerated and shot out like a bolt of lightning.
When he turned around and saw Bai Ziliang chasing after Miao Yi, Sikong Wuwei slammed his fist on his thigh and let out a loud "Hai!"
Everyone could tell that Miao Yi was in a precarious situation. If he really had a way to deal with them, why didn't he use it earlier? Why did he have to take the risk and use it alone?
"Everyone, don't let down Brother Miao's good intentions!" Gu Sanzheng gritted his teeth and said, "As long as we survive this, we might just be able to give him a chance at revenge!"
Compared to a dragon steed, the Tempest Beast was simply too fast. Even though Gu Sanzheng and the others had managed to buy Miao Yi some time, Bai Ziliang had already caught up to him before Miao Yi could reach the top of the mountain.
Behind them, Ba Jie's mount was nowhere to be seen. The Four-Horned Golden-hooved White Deer that Kong Zhi was riding on was quickly catching up to them. Clearly, they had been delayed due to their earlier robbery and felt that their dragon steeds were too slow, so they hitched a ride with Kong Zhi's mount to get here first.
When Ba Jie saw the representative of the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons chasing after Miao Yi so relentlessly, he felt that the latter must have something good up his sleeve. He didn't want to miss it.
Miao Yi didn't expect the Tempest Beast to be this fast either. When he turned around, he realized that the other party had already caught up to him before he even reached the top of the mountain.
Bai Ziliang was secretly shocked when he felt the temperature of the mountain. He didn't expect Miao Yi to be able to make it all the way here on his dragon steed. If he were in Miao Yi's shoes, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand the heat either.
He immediately tossed out a large black seal, which instantly grew in size like a mountain crushing hammer. With a thunderous roar, it smashed towards the fleeing Miao Yi.
When Miao Yi turned around to look, he was shocked. With a flick of his hand, he tossed out six Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans. Six streaks of green light shot out.
Boom boom boom …
A series of explosions rang out as the six Second Grade Mountain Cleaving Talismans managed to knock the large black seal off course. However, they still couldn't stop the attack. The black seal smashed into the ground nearby, sending rocks flying and the earth quaking.
