What was going on? Yan Beihong wants to challenge us?
The monks were shocked. Wasn't this asking for their lives? The leader monk immediately sent a voice transmission to his teammates, "Which one of you has a grudge against Yan Beihong?"
The answer was obvious. Everyone said that they had never seen Yan Beihong before, so how could they have become enemies?
Looks like that Yan Beihong really mistook me for someone else! How could he not explain such a life-threatening matter clearly? On top of that, Sikong Wuwei added, "Masters, you should also know that people with a bit of ability are usually impatient. If you drag on for too long, I'm afraid he might not continue waiting for you."
That makes sense! The ten monks immediately left the cave, mounted their mounts, and hurriedly ran towards the place where the final battle was to take place.
They weren't afraid that Yan Beihong would resort to underhanded means. The rules set by the six parties forbade private fights. Otherwise, this place wouldn't have been left unguarded, allowing Sikong Wuwei to barge in so easily.
Sikong Wuwei chuckled as he watched the ten of them leave. He then turned around and dashed toward another cave.
Under the night sky, Miao Yi, Gu Sanzheng, and Ye Zichen sat quietly on their mounts as the ten riders galloped towards them. As they approached, they slowed down and slowly drew closer. Both sides sized each other up.
Miao Yi didn't even bother to exchange pleasantries when they met. He was practically making the best use of his time as he asked, "Were you the ones who ambushed me a few years ago?"
"Benefactor Yan, we've never met before. How could there be a sneak attack? Benefactor Yan must have mistaken me for someone else," the leading monk said while putting his palms together.
"But why does it look like it to me?" Miao Yi scoffed. "What proof do you have to prove that it wasn't you?"
"This …" The leading monk looked at the others beside him and said helplessly, "Benefactor Yan, how do you expect us to produce evidence for something like this? We really didn't know you before! "
"You guys sure know how to brush it off. Just saying that you don't know each other is enough." Miao Yi said expressionlessly, "If that's the case, then we'll meet on the battlefield tomorrow! Go! "
He, Gu Sanzheng, and the other two immediately turned their mounts around and prepared to leave.
The ten monks immediately became anxious. If this misunderstanding continued, someone would die. Who could block that fellow's terrifying attack?
The leading monk hurriedly shouted, "Benefactor Yan, how can you trust us?"
The four of them came to a halt. Miao Yi turned his mount around and said, "Tell me the truth. I cannot confirm whether it is you or not, but the tragic deaths of my subordinates are still fresh in my mind. This Yan is truly unwilling to let you off just like that. Wouldn't this Yan regret it for the rest of my life! "
"Benefactor Yan, it's already a given that you'll be able to enter the top hundred. It really isn't easy for us. Buddhist disciples don't want to get involved in this, but we have no choice. In the end, we don't even know if he'll be dead or alive. Why must Benefactor Yan force us? Why not be magnanimous and be kind to others? "The leading monk put his palms together and said.
Miao Yi turned to the people around him and asked, "What do you guys think?"
Gu Sanzheng replied, "His words do make sense. Even if we don't kill them, there's a chance that they will die in the hands of others. Why should we do something like killing the wrong person instead of letting them go?"
Miao Yi sighed, "But I really can't accept it. What if I let him go by mistake?"
Gu Sanzheng calmly said, "There's no harm in punishing them with a small punishment. Make them hand over their belongings and let them go."
Miao Yi pondered for a moment. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you." He turned to the leading monk and said, "I'll cut to the chase. Hand over your belongings, and I won't cause any trouble for you tomorrow."
The ten monks exchanged glances. 'Isn't this a little too much?'
Gu Sanzheng shouted, "Monk, didn't you just say that Buddhist disciples don't want to get involved in this? It wasn't easy for me to give you all a chance to live. Why do you still value your possessions so much? Is this how a monk should behave? "
"It seems these monks value their possessions more than their lives. Fine. If I don't hand them over tonight, I will take them from them openly tomorrow! "Miao Yi turned around and shouted," Let's go! "
The other party was right. If he didn't hand them over now, he would still be able to take them from them tomorrow. Moreover, he would be able to take all of their lives as well. Since that was the case, why would he risk his own life as well?
"Wait!" The ten monks shouted in unison.
Miao Yi stopped in his tracks just as he was about to leave. He coldly glared at them.
The ten monks exchanged glances with one another. There was no longer a need to think about what to do. Most importantly, Miao Yi wasn't going to let them have any other choices. They could either hand over the possessions in exchange for their lives, or lose them along with their possessions.
Not to mention, as long as they could keep their lives, as long as they didn't have to face this bastard in the upcoming battles, there was still a chance that they could take back their possessions from others. If they died in battle, it would be pointless even if they kept their possessions. Was there even a need to think about it?
"We are willing to hand over our possessions. We only hope that Benefactor Yan will keep his word!" The leader of the monks sighed dejectedly.
Miao Yi scoffed and said, "Don't worry! I have always been a man of my word. If I don't, you can always expose me tomorrow! "
Therefore, the ten monks took their time to remove the storage rings on their hands, clearly reluctant to part with them. After all, monks still had to rely on these so-called worldly possessions to survive. These were the possessions that they had accumulated over the years. How could they possibly not care about it?
Miao Yi tilted his head and gave Tan Lao a look. Tan Lao immediately leaped down from his steed and snatched the items from Miao Yi's hands. At the same time, he quickly searched the bodies of the ten monks and robbed them clean. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't convenient to chop off their wrists, Miao Yi would have definitely robbed them of their Geotranscendence Bangles as well.
Meanwhile, Ye Xin and Gu Sanzheng maintained their vigilance in case the monks became desperate.
Miao Yi had kept the three of them by his side just in case. He wasn't afraid of fighting them head-on, but he was worried that these monks wouldn't be able to take out their transcendent artifacts and fight to the death. The transcendent artifacts on Gu Sanzheng's group were perfect for protecting him.
Seeing how everything was looted, the leader of the monks immediately panicked and said, "Benefactor Yan, we can give up everything else, but you've even taken away our defensive weapons, transcendence energy recovery Orbs of Will, and healing medicine. How is this any different from killing us? What do you expect us to do if someone challenges us? "
Miao Yi thought about it and agreed. If he forced them into a dead end, they would definitely fight to the death. It wouldn't do him any good if this matter got out of hand. It would make it more difficult for him to make a move on the others. Thus, he had Tan Lao return some of the necessities to them.
Under the moonlight, the ten monks silently left. Standing at the Yao Nation's side, Zhao Fei immediately released ten Yao cultivators over to him...
After looting over a dozen groups in a row, Miao Yi and the others realized that something was amiss. Even though the monks had a lot of men, the number of items they managed to loot was far less than the other groups. Some of them didn't even have a second Geotranscendence Bangle on their wrists. They didn't even have anything in their storage rings. They were extremely poor.
"What's going on?" Miao Yi asked curiously.
Ye Xin answered, "It's simple. The more monks there are, the less they participated in the Subjugation Crusade. Most of the time, they were hiding. That's why the more survivors there are, the fewer items we can loot."
Gu Sanzheng and the others nodded in agreement. Then, Gu Sanzheng said solemnly, "We can only loot three groups in fifteen minutes. That means we can only deal with around two hundred people in two hours. By dawn, we'll only be able to deal with around a thousand people. We can't go on like this. If we mix up the people, I'm afraid we'll have to waste our time again. Besides, those monks don't have much on them, but they have a lot of people. There's no need to waste too much time on them. I suggest we start with the Ghost Nation, Yao Nation, or Boundless Nation tonight. We'll loot one group first, then move on to the next one tomorrow. Each of these groups has around a thousand people left. It's just right to target one group each day. We'll first get the bulk of the loot. Then, we won't have to worry about losing the opportunity to strike again when we're exposed. It won't be too late for us to slowly move on the Buddha Nation. By then, they'll have even more items in their hands. "
"You're right!" Miao Yi nodded and said, "Ye Xin, contact them and tell the other three to stop. We've already spent a lot of time tonight. Let's first clean up the few hundred Yao Nation cultivators' belongings. Tomorrow, we'll move on the Ghost Nation."
Ye Xin nodded, then immediately rode off on her dragon steed …
At daybreak the next day, the forces of all six nations gathered together, and the slaughter began once more.
After staying up all night and earning a lot of money, Miao Yi closed his eyes to rest and refine the Orbs of Will.
Behind him, Gu Sanzheng and the others were no longer in the mood to watch the battle. After all, Miao Yi was here to intimidate everyone, so there was nothing for them to do. They still wouldn't be able to rest tonight, so they had to be prepared to not sleep for a few days straight. What else could they do but rest up during the day?
In any case, this group of people was acting very strangely. They were all resting with their eyes closed.
Yue Yao wasn't in the mood to pay attention to the people behind her. Instead, she kept an eye on Miao Yi. Seeing how he was boasting yesterday, and now he was resting with his eyes closed without any intention of making a move, she couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Just then, the forces sent out by the Celestial Nation encountered a strong enemy, and were completely wiped out. It was a crushing defeat! On the side of the victorious Devil Nation, the cultivators led by Yun Feiyang were cheering.
Yue Yao couldn't hold it in any longer. She transmitted her voice over to Miao Yi, "When are you going to make a move?"
Miao Yi opened his eyes slightly and tilted his head to look at her, then transmitted his voice over, "Yue Yao, don't be hasty. Haste makes waste. Even if I make a move now, what can I do? The six nations will take turns to challenge each other. Even if I'm the one to challenge every time, I'll only be able to fight nine battles a day at most. I won't be able to earn much from that. Not to mention, I won't be able to take it if this goes on. "
He was originally planning to make a move last, but Yue Yao's desire to be first had given him a wake-up call. Now that he had a better idea, was there still a need for him to risk his life?
He even addressed her as' Yue Yao '! Yue Yao was both angry and amused at the same time. She realized that whether it was his tone or the way he looked at her, he truly didn't see her as the peerless beauty in the eyes of other men. If this wasn't looking down on her, what else could it be? She couldn't help but ask, "Let me ask you again. When are you going to make a move?"
"I will naturally make a move when I need to." Miao Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry. Even if you don't say anything, I will still do my best to help you!"
His tone rendered Yue Yao speechless. It was as though she was just a little girl in front of him who needed his care.
