"What are the cultivation bases of Song Zeming and the others? What abilities do they have?"
Bold words couldn't be eaten. Since they were going to fight, Miao Yi naturally wanted to get a better understanding of his opponent.
Yan Beihong told him that all nine of them possessed a cultivation at the Blue Lotus Ninth Grade. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to survive the pursuit of that little devil, Yun Feiyang. Among them, three of them wielded treasures from the Glorious Cloud Sect. The most powerful one was Song Zeming's Flowing Cloud Killer, followed by Duan Hongfei's Mother-Child Flying Sword, and Kong Yulian's Water Cloud Pearl.
Miao Yi nodded slightly after listening to Yan Beihong's explanation. He had a rough idea of what was going on. At the same time, his opinion of Yan Beihong rose once more. Yan Beihong was the only one among them with a Blue Lotus Fifth Grade cultivation, and yet he was able to escape until now. He must be extraordinary.
Yan Beihong asked again, "Brother, you know your own transcendent artifact. What do you think is the best way to use it?"
Miao Yi muttered, "The best way is to ambush them!"
After a brief discussion, Yan Beihong nodded and said, "There's no time like the present. You just happened to be here today, so it's only right for you to pay your respects. How about we start now?"
Miao Yi nodded in agreement. He didn't expect that after hiding for so many years, the first thing he would encounter after coming out would be to kill someone and steal their treasure.
The place they were staying at was a temporarily abandoned mountain village. Their first target was Song Zeming. After returning to the stronghold, he went straight to Song Zeming's cave abode, which was also the cave abode of the stronghold's former chief. Song Zeming was the chief disciple sent by the Glorious Cloud Sect, so he naturally occupied the main seat.
The Glorious Cloud Sect was also very careful. They had sent an old man to guard the entrance. Seeing the two of them return together, the old man leapt out from the shadows. Frowning, he shouted, "Yan Beihong, what are you doing here instead of patrolling the mountain? If that devil Yun Fei Yang comes after us again, we won't even have time to run. "
"I'll be right back!" Yan Beihong cupped his fists, then pointed to Miao Yi beside him and said, "Brother Miao is new here, so he's not familiar with this place. I'll bring him along to greet everyone one by one. He immediately went to patrol the area. He wouldn't make any mistakes. Come on! Brother, this is my Senior Uncle Wang Bo. His cultivation is at the Blue Lotus Ninth Grade. His strength is extraordinary! "
"Greetings, Senior Wang!" Miao Yi smiled and cupped his fists towards the old man.
The old man nodded haughtily as a form of greeting. Then, he impatiently scolded Yan Beihong, "Hurry up, don't mess things up. Who knows when that demon will return."
Yan Beihong cupped his hands in acknowledgment. He quickly led Miao Yi into the stronghold.
Miao Yi finally understood why Yan Beihong was so merciless as to make a move against these people. It was because he could tell from their attitudes that they didn't think much of Yan Beihong at all. Indeed, they didn't see him as a fellow disciple. Otherwise, with Yan Beihong's status as a Manor Head and the fact that they were fellow disciples, he wouldn't have treated them with such disrespect.
The two of them quickly arrived outside Song Zeming's cave. Yan Beihong shouted from outside, "Senior Uncle Song, this is Miao Yi's first time here. Yan Beihong has brought him here to pay his respects! "
"Come in!" Song Zeming's rather polite voice came from inside. After all, Miao Yi had already displayed a certain level of strength earlier. On top of that, he didn't know about Miao Yi's trump card. As the leader of a team, he had to consider the bigger picture.
The two of them entered, only to see a black muslin curtain hanging over a stone couch. Song Zeming's figure was faintly discernible as he sat cross-legged inside.
As soon as Miao Yi saw him, he cupped his fists in greeting. He wanted to take out the Mystic Yin Mirror and make a move. He was a decisive person. Since he had already decided to make a move, there was no need for him to be polite. Unexpectedly, Yan Beihong transmitted his voice to him, "Don't make a move. He's on guard!"
Miao Yi didn't know what Song Zeming was on guard about. However, since Yan Beihong had said so, Miao Yi restrained himself.
"May I know Brother Miao's background and cultivation in the Fifth Earthly Branch?" Song Zeming asked with a smile.
Miao Yi wiped the Soul Concealing Paste off his forehead and revealed his Blue Lotus First Grade. He smiled and replied, "Mountain Chieftain of the Fifth Earthly Branch's Mount Calming Sea."
Song Zeming was a little surprised to see that Miao Yi only had a Blue Lotus First Grade cultivation. I am truly impressed that Brother Miao was able to traverse the Western Star Sea alone with a Blue Lotus First Grade cultivation. I believe Brother Miao must have some kind of powerful artifact to rely on! "
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "To tell you the truth, I once served a group of troops. Later on, they encountered a powerful enemy and were defeated. Since then, I have been hiding ever since. It's not because I have some kind of artifact to rely on. I came here because I saw on the map that this was a good place to hide. I just didn't expect to run into Big Brother Yan here. I am extremely grateful to Senior Song for not abandoning me and taking me in! "
"Haha, so that's how it is!" Song Zeming's smile was a little forced. Even though Miao Yi's words were reasonable, Song Zeming didn't dare to believe him completely. For a mere Blue Lotus First Grade cultivator to survive until now, there was no way he was as simple as Miao Yi made him out to be.
After a round of questions and answers, Yan Beihong and Miao Yi took their leave.
Once they were out of the cave, Miao Yi transmitted his voice over and asked, "This was such a good opportunity. Why didn't you let him make a move?"
Yan Beihong transmitted his voice over and replied, "Didn't you see that he was hiding in that black gauze tent and refusing to come out? He clearly doesn't dare to trust Little Brother so easily. And that black gauze tent is the Flowing Cloud Killer! "
"That's the Flowing Cloud Killer?" Miao Yi asked in surprise, "How can something like that be so powerful?"
"Little Brother, don't underestimate it. This artifact is incredibly nimble. When it's released, it drifts erratically like a flowing cloud. It can drill into a person's orifices and kill them. When it gathers together, it can become as hard as a spear. It can also be impervious to fire and water, and can wrap a person in it to quickly escape into the depths of the sea. This is also why that little devil Yun Feiyang couldn't catch up to us. I heard that this artifact was refined by the famous Mister Zi Yang in the world of artifact refinement. It is incredibly exquisite and cannot be underestimated! "Yan Beihong warned solemnly.
'Mister Zi Yang? ' Miao Yi was speechless. 'Is this for real? Did I actually go up against an artifact refined by that old geezer, Yao Ruoxian?'
Miao Yi was both annoyed and amused at the same time. That old geezer could refine such an artifact for someone else. Now that he thought about it, wasn't it a little too unfair for him to refine one for himself? And to think that he had even given two of his women to that old geezer as his goddaughters.
But then again, it made sense. Most people wouldn't be able to bring out such an artifact. It could only have come from those powerful sects that had poured all their resources into it. The materials required to refine this artifact alone were not something that Miao Yi could afford. And Yao Ruoxian himself wasn't that rich either.
"Little Brother, do you not believe me?" Yan Beihong couldn't help asking when he saw the strange expression on Miao Yi's face.
"That's not it!" Miao Yi shook his head and continued, "I'm just thinking about what we should do next. With him being so cautious, it wouldn't be good for us to make a move on the others. Otherwise, based on what you said, if we were to be exposed, just the Flowing Cloud Killer in Song Zeming's hands would be more than enough to deal with the two of us. We need to come up with another plan … If only we could gather them together and deal with them in one go. That way, we wouldn't have to worry about any accidents!"
Yan Beihong immediately asked, "If we gather them together, will Little Brother be able to take them all down in one go?"
Miao Yi nodded and said, "As long as Song Zeming doesn't keep his guard up against me like before, I should be able to succeed in ambushing him at close range!"
Yan Beihong's eyes lit up as he transmitted his voice over and said, "Leave this to me. I have a plan. Little Brother, you just need to be prepared."
"What plan?" Miao Yi asked.
"It's not a good time to talk about it now. Let's quickly pay a visit to each of them first. We don't want them to get suspicious if we drag things out for too long!" Yan Beihong reminded.
Miao Yi nodded. The two of them then paid a visit to each of the Glorious Cloud Sect members living in their respective caves.
After that, Miao Yi chose a cave to settle down in. It was right next to Yan Beihong's cave. After all, there were plenty of empty caves in this fort's cave abode.
After leading Miao Yi into his cave, Yan Beihong quickly transmitted his voice over and said, "We'll meet in two hours. Two hours later, I will definitely make a move and gather them together. Little Brother, wait for an opportunity to strike! Remember, this method can only be used once. If Little Brother fails, we'll have no choice but to run for our lives! "
'Run for our lives? ' Miao Yi was taken aback. "You didn't explain it clearly. How am I supposed to be confident?"
"I'm just afraid that if I tell you, Little Brother, you won't be able to keep up the act!" Yan Beihong transmitted his voice over and said, "Yun Feiyang is attacking!"
Miao Yi immediately understood. This method could indeed only be used once. If Song Zeming and the others found out that it was fake news, they would definitely suspect that the two of them were up to no good. They would definitely not allow the two of them to stay by their side. If that happened, they would really have to run for their lives.
Seeing that Miao Yi understood, Yan Beihong quickly turned around and left. He was still on duty, so it wouldn't be good for him to stay for too long.
Meanwhile, Miao Yi sat cross-legged on the stone bed and silently calculated the time. He focused on listening to the commotion outside.
Two hours had just passed when he heard the hurried sound of dragon steeds galloping outside. Miao Yi abruptly opened his eyes. They were right on time.
As expected, Yan Beihong's anxious voice suddenly came from outside, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "
A commotion immediately came from inside the cave abode. Miao Yi quickly rushed out as well. When he was outside, he saw everyone rushing to their mounts. Song Zeming also came out, no longer hiding behind the black gauze tent.
Miao Yi also quickly found Charcoal and mounted it. His movements were a little slow, but Song Zeming and the others had already donned their armor and gathered together with their weapons in hand.
"What's going on?" Song Zeming shouted at Yan Beihong.
Yan Beihong had an anxious look on his face as he pointed forward and said, "He's here! That demon Yun Feiyang is here again. He's already disembarked from the northwest! "
Everyone was shocked. They were truly afraid of Yun Feiyang. How could they be in the mood to think about anything else? Song Zeming waved his hand and said, "We shouldn't linger here for long. Head for the coast!"
As everyone's mounts began to move, Miao Yi, who was the last to arrive, had already summoned the Mystic Yin Mirror with a flip of his hand. A dense Yin aura gushed out from everyone's back, instantly shrouding everyone within a gray mist. Even Yan Beihong wasn't spared.
Secretly observing Miao Yi's reaction, Yan Beihong was utterly shocked. While he was both shocked and furious, he was already enveloped by the Yin mist.
Song Zeming and the others were shocked as they fell into the extreme cold. Unfortunately, they had their backs to the Yin mist. Before they could even react, they were already in a daze. Enveloped by the Yin aura, they were all knocked to the ground by the inertia of their mounts. Yan Beihong was no exception.
