Jumping off his mount, Miao Yi helped Yan Beihong up and invoked his arts to dispel the Yin energy in his body.
"Ugh …" Yan Beihong slowly opened his eyes after waking up from his daze. When he saw Miao Yi smirking at him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Before Yan Beihong could lose his temper, Miao Yi quickly explained with a smile, "It's your fault for not finding a better place to hide. My Mystic Yin Mirror attacks indiscriminately. If I had dodged it, I might have let the others go and brought trouble to myself. I wasn't trying to mess with you on purpose."
Yan Beihong's mind was still a little hazy, and he subconsciously shivered a few times. When he regained his senses, he quickly got up and went to check on Song Zeming and the others. It seemed like he was most concerned about whether they'd succeeded or not. It didn't matter if he suffered a little.
Seeing the ground covered in frost, Song Zeming and the others were all frozen to the ground. He shivered again, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed maniacally. "Glorious Cloud Sect, you want to kill me? Unfortunately, I'm not fated to die yet! Just you wait, this Yan will kill all of you sooner or later. Sooner or later, your ancient sect that has existed for tens of thousands of years will be razed to the ground! "
Turning around, he saw that Miao Yi had saved his mount. Instinctively, he asked, "Little Brother, you scared me just now. I thought you were going to kill me as well. My body won't suffer from any side effects, will it? Why do I keep shivering? "
"There might still be some Yin energy left in your body. You can just use your arts to get rid of it. You'll be fine. At most, your vitality will be slightly damaged." As Miao Yi said this, he drew his sword artifact and prepared to kill Song Zeming and the others one by one. Since he'd already made his move, he didn't want to leave any loose ends. They were all ruthless men!
"Hold it!" Yan Beihong raised his hand and shouted.
Miao Yi, who was about to raise his sword, turned around and frowned. "What? You still want to spare their lives? Big Brother Yan, forgive me for being blunt. Since we've already made our move, there's no need to hold back. Keeping them alive might just be asking for trouble. "
"That's not what I meant. Please calm down, Little Brother!" Yan Beihong strode over with an excited look in his eyes. "Are they still alive?"
"They shouldn't be for now. It's hard to say as time passes."
"Can they be saved like I did?"
"So what if I am?" Miao Yi asked suspiciously, "You're not going to ask me to save them, are you?"
Yan Beihong raised his hand and pressed down the sword in his hand. Patting his wrist, he turned around and glanced at the frozen people on the ground. With a strange look in his eyes, he said, "These guys have been bossing me around all these years. They don't see me as a human being. And for the sake of surviving in the Sea of Constellations, I have been swallowing my anger all this while. How could I possibly let them go? However, letting them die so easily would be letting them off too easily. Leave them to me! "
Miao Yi looked him up and down. He had always felt that Yan Beihong was a little strange. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he gave off a feeling that his mood was erratic. However, since Yan Beihong had already said so, Miao Yi nodded without saying anything else and sheathed his sword artifact.
Suddenly, Yan Beihong brandished his exaggeratedly huge saber. His figure flashed, and with a swing of his saber, he chopped off the arms and legs of Song Zeming and the others. Even if Song Zeming and the others were to come back to life, they would be crippled. There shouldn't be any harm.
Miao Yi furrowed his brows as he watched. He couldn't understand just how much Yan Beihong hated these people. If he wanted to kill them, just kill them. Why did he have to do such a cruel thing?
After collecting a bunch of storage rings and bracelets, Yan Beihong laughed heartily and said, "Little Brother! We're rich! Come, come, come. Let's kill them and split the spoils. This is a good time to be happy! "
Miao Yi was still a little interested in splitting the spoils. He sat down opposite Yan Beihong.
Yan Beihong took out a longsword from a storage bangle. The sword was about four feet long and about the width of a palm. Its entire body was amber black, like a translucent piece of black jade.
Miao Yi's eyes lit up. This was probably a transcendent artifact refined from pure Crystalline Obsidian.
Yan Beihong glanced at him and teased, "Little Brother. Are you jealous? "
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "This is good stuff!"
"This is Duan Hongfei's' Mother-Child Flying Swords'." Yan Beihong explained, then tossed both the storage bangle and the Mother-Child Flying Swords to Miao Yi and said, "These are yours."
Miao Yi didn't hold back. Knowing that Yan Beihong had his eyes on something even better, Miao Yi took the Mother-Child Flying Swords and held them in his hand. He erased the art source inside and replaced it with his own. From now on, it was his own treasure.
As Miao Yi invoked his arts and tried to decipher the secrets of the Mother-Child Flying Swords, Yan Beihong took out a translucent silvery-white ball about the size of a fist from another storage bangle. Holding it in his hand, he said, "This is Kong Yulian's Cloud Pearl."
Miao Yi nodded and praised, "The Glorious Cloud Sect is indeed one of the top sects in the Celestial Nation. I didn't expect you to bring out so many transcendent artifacts for your disciple to participate in this tournament."
"This is yours as well." Yan Beihong then tossed both the pearl and the storage bangle to Miao Yi.
Catching them, Miao Yi asked in surprise, "You're giving them to me again?"
"Just take it. Don't even think about asking for it. Rumble! Clean up the filthy words of advice? Locust Cui Tong
Miao Yi could only smile and say, "Then I shall gladly accept!"
From the last storage bangle, Yan Beihong took out a black scarf with a metallic luster. Holding it in his hand, he laughed heartily and said, "This is what I wanted! Little Brother, I shall keep this treasure to myself. "
Miao Yi smiled and said, "I am here to help Big Brother Yan obtain this treasure."
Yan Beihong smiled as he put away the Flowing Cloud Killer. Then, he began to search through Song Zeming's storage bangle. After a while, he suddenly clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't think the Glorious Cloud Sect would even bring out something like this for Song Zeming to participate in the tournament."
Miao Yi raised his head to look at the Cloud Pearl and saw that Yan Beihong was actually holding a stalk of Glorious Star immortal herb in his hand. However, it was completely incomparable to the one Miao Yi had used before. It was only a third of the size of the one he had used before.
"I'll be taking this immortal herb. I won't be stingy when Little Brother has a use for it. However, it's best if you and I don't use it for the rest of our lives!" Yan Beihong didn't stand on ceremony. After greeting Miao Yi, he kept the Glorious Star immortal herb into his pouch. Then, without bothering to look at the other storage rings and bangle, he casually pulled them all over to Miao Yi and said, "The rest is all yours."
Miao Yi was taken aback. "All of them?"
"This is what you deserve. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten a single one of them." As he spoke, Yan Beihong suddenly sighed. He stared at Miao Yi and shook his head, saying, "Little Brother, I'm very happy today. At least I didn't misjudge you! In that situation just now, if Little Brother had been tempted by my wealth and had any ulterior motives, I'm afraid I would have lost my life here. The cultivation realm is full of deceit. It's hard to find someone who is truly trustworthy. It is my fortune to have met you, Little Brother. Mere treasures are not enough to exchange for our friendship! "
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "You can't just give it all to me. How about this? You take a look around and see if there's anything else you need. I'll take the rest. "
"Don't be so wishy-washy. You and I have lofty ambitions. These few items are nothing to me. One day, when we reach the top of the world and look down on all the other mountains, we will have everything we need!" Yan Beihong waved his hand and stood up. He paced back and forth between the frozen bodies of Song Zeming and the others, his eyes gleaming. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Miao Yi grabbed the pile of storage rings and bangles in his hand, then said, "You can't possibly refuse the Geotranscendence Bangles in here, can you? Let's split them fifty-fifty. I'll take the rest. "
Yan Beihong waved his hand and said, "Why would I want those useless things? Forget about the fact that I can't bring them out of the Sea of Constellations, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to trade them for anything else. "
"Useless things?" Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You sure are generous. Who knows how many people in the Western Star Sea have fought to the death over these things."
"That's because they're crazy." Yan Beihong turned around and took out the golden Geotranscendence Bangles on his wrist. He said, "There's no difference between having one on my wrist and a whole bunch on your hand. It all depends on what you think. When I was with these guys, it was because I didn't care about these things that I was able to survive until now."
Miao Yi was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Yan Beihong pointed at him and shook his head. "Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending? Only a hundred people can survive in the Subjugation Crusade. As long as we survive, even if we don't get a single Geotranscendence Bangle, we can still be considered to have made it into the top hundred with just one on our wrist. We're not like those other powers. To us, the most important thing isn't how many Geotranscendence Bangles we get, but how we can make it back alive. "Yan Beihong's words enlightened Miao Yi.
As soon as she said that, it was as though Miao Yi was suddenly enlightened. He thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. However, he quickly shook his head and said, "You can't say it like that. Those who are ranked higher will at least be able to get a larger share of the several hundred thousand Orbs of Will. What's more, after we return, the Manor Heads will also be chosen according to their rankings. Those who are ranked higher will naturally be able to pick more lucrative territories."
Yan Beihong scoffed, "The Six Sages have already sent out over thirty people. The other Six Nations have a total of seventy-two branches, and they won't even get a single spot on average. How many people do you think will be able to compete with you for the richest territories when you return? That's why I say, Little Brother. As long as we can make it back alive, we don't have to worry about not getting a good territory. "
Miao Yi nodded at Yan Beihong's words.
Yan Beihong then said, "As for the rewards for the Orbs of Will, if you're really interested, I can give you all the Geotranscendence Bangles and raise your ranking even higher. Perhaps it'll be even better than us splitting the rewards and lowering our ranking. Who knows, you might even get more Orbs of Will. When the time comes, you can just give me some as a token of appreciation."
Miao Yi was taken aback. He noticed that Yan Beihong was still circling around Song Zeming and the others' corpses, as though he wasn't interested in the Orbs of Will at all. Instead, he seemed more interested in Song Zeming and the others who had already fallen into his hands. Miao Yi couldn't help but find it strange. Which cultivator didn't crave for Orbs of Will? Why was he so nonchalant about it?
"Little Brother! Do me a favor. Help me move them to the spacious house Song Zeming is staying in. "Yan Beihong said as he carried the bodies away, leaving four for Miao Yi to help.
