Yan Beihong rested his saber on his shoulder. He didn't expect Miao Yi to come out and help him at a time like this. After all, Miao Yi was a prominent figure in the Ghost Nation. He laughed heartily as he looked at Miao Yi, his face filled with joy as though he had a brother.
Miao Yi turned around to look at Zhao Fei and the others, then his gaze fell on Pi Junzi. He was a little surprised. He didn't think that Pi Junzi, who was always so afraid of death that he would kneel and call him 'Grandpa', would also be willing to risk his life.
Pi Junzi smiled awkwardly and turned away to avoid Miao Yi's gaze. He was a little embarrassed.
He didn't know what was going on either. In a moment of recklessness, he decided to follow Miao Yi out. Thinking back to when he was trapped in the Demon Refining Gourd, he had cursed Miao Yi to death and wanted nothing more than to kill him.
Now that something like this had happened, many people were able to see many things clearly.
The incident that almost caused a huge mess was finally over. As the warning to board the ship was issued, most people stared at the Geotranscendence Bangle on their wrists that was glowing with a golden light.
Miao Yi was no exception. He stared at the glowing golden bangle on his wrist, a look of melancholy on his face. Was the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade really over? Did I really survive?
Most people had the same thought, their expressions conflicted.
"Yan Beihong. Do you still have any respect for me?" Yue Yao shouted at Miao Yi as she rode her Jade Lion over.
Of the Celestial Nation cultivators, only a few of them had the right to be exempted from the battle. Including Miao Yi's team, twenty-three of them had managed to survive after much difficulty. This was the highest number of survivors among all the participants from the six nations. The Subjugation Crusade was about to end, and the Celestial Nation had already come out on top in every aspect. Who would've thought that Miao Yi would suddenly lose control and charge out? He didn't listen to her commands at all. If they were to lose another batch of people at the very last moment, it wouldn't be worth it. To Yue Yao, who had done everything she could to ensure the survival of every single Celestial Nation cultivator, it was truly infuriating.
Miao Yi was speechless. Zhao Fei and the others were also speechless under Yue Yao's cold glare.
Yue Yao looked at them and didn't know what to say either. Under such circumstances, she didn't expect Zhao Fei and the others to fearlessly charge out as soon as Miao Yi charged out. Their actions were truly admirable.
Yue Yao turned to look at the other two. The other two that she had forced onto the team were cowering in place, not charging out. This caused her expression to be rather complicated.
Before this, she was still thinking of doing her best to protect two more Celestial Nation cultivators, so she didn't think much of Miao Yi's group taking in two Yao cultivators. From her point of view, she definitely had to consider the Celestial Nation's cultivators when she was competing with outsiders. That was why she asked Miao Yi to kick the two Yao cultivators away. It would have been a good idea to add two more Celestial Nation cultivators to the team, but Miao Yi had disagreed. She was very angry at the time, but now she didn't know if he was right or wrong.
To Miao Yi, there was no way he could see things from Yue Yao's perspective. The Celestial Nation cultivators might not dare to kill Yue Yao during the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, but there were plenty of people hunting him down. He couldn't find any reason to not protect those who had gone through thick and thin with him, and instead chose to protect those he didn't even know. The other party might not even appreciate it. The indifference of the two people in front of him had already explained the problem.
"Let's board the ship!" Yue Yao didn't say anything more. Her mount carried her forward slowly, and the others followed closely behind.
Zhao Fei untied the bundle on his back and tossed it back to Miao Yi.
Miao Yi ran over to Yan Beihong's side and tossed it back to him, saying, "This is for you."
Yan Beihong was puzzled. He infused his transcendence energy into the bundle and was shocked by the amount of wealth inside.
The wealth that 180,000 cultivators had accumulated over thousands of years was originally supposed to be divided among the one hundred victors of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. However, most of this wealth was now in the hands of Miao Yi's group and the people sent by the Six Sages. The other surviving cultivators didn't have much in their hands. Miao Yi had practically extorted everything from them. With so much wealth, even a small portion of it was enough to scare anyone.
Yan Beihong stared at Miao Yi, dumbfounded. He transmitted his voice over and asked, "Little Brother. Are you sure? These are for me? Did 'that thing' get them from someone else? "
Miao Yi nodded and replied, "Everyone around me has a share. Everyone will split it equally. How can you be left out? It's just that you weren't around, so it wasn't easy to split the spoils. I'm sorry you suffered a little. "
Yan Beihong said sheepishly, "How can I accept this? I didn't even do anything. How can I take so much from you? If it was just a token of your appreciation, I would have taken it. But isn't this a little too much? I can't even count them all at once."
"How can you say that you didn't do anything? Big Brother Yan, you stayed in the Devil Nation's camp to cover for me and allowed me to use your name to do this. That's the biggest help you've given me. Big Brother Yan has always been a straightforward person. When did you become so wishy-washy? "Miao Yi asked.
Yan Beihong was taken aback. He then shook his head and smiled. He wrapped the bundle around himself and said, "If that's the case, then I won't hold back."
A large ship was anchored about a dozen meters away from the shore. Three Western Constellations Palace cultivators stood on the balcony with their hands behind their backs as they gazed at the troops converging on the island.
Ninety-nine cultivators leaped over and landed on the ship.
Bai Ziliang had an ugly expression on his face. Aside from the six of them who had been granted immunity from battle, the rest of the Yao Nation troops had all been wiped out. He didn't even know how he was going to face his mother, the person who had gone to great lengths to get him this opportunity, once he arrived at the Western Constellations Palace.
The Yao Nation troops were already few and far between when they gathered on the nameless island. As the battle progressed, their numbers dwindled, and the frequency at which they went into battle increased. The more they struggled, the more cultivators from the other five nations would try to take advantage of them. One could well imagine the consequences. Three days before the end of the Subjugation Crusade, all the Yao Nation troops except for the few of them had been wiped out.
Well, not all of them had died. Pi Junzi and Tao Yongchun were Yao Nation cultivators as well. It was just that Bai Ziliang had yet to realize what was going on. Once he did, it would probably be an even more resounding slap to his face. The Yao Nation cultivators couldn't even survive under his hands, and now they had to die under the hands of others. How could he possibly accept this?
Originally, Yue Yao from the Celestial Nation wasn't much better off than Bai Ziliang. However, Miao Yi had suddenly appeared out of nowhere and helped Yue Yao greatly. Only the Celestial Nation cultivators dared to challenge the others, while the others didn't dare to challenge the Celestial Nation cultivators. This allowed Yue Yao's subordinates to fight fewer battles, and the further the battle progressed, the more advantageous it became for them. In the end, Yue Yao managed to surpass them and help the Celestial Nation keep the most number of cultivators alive.
Out of the thirty-six cultivators sent by the six nations, Yun Fei Yang's side had lost one cultivator, leaving only thirty-five cultivators left. In addition to the twenty-three cultivators from the Celestial Nation, Yun Fei Yang had already taken up fifty-eight spots. Out of the remaining forty-two spots, one had to die at the very end. Excluding the Yao Nation on Bai Ziliang's side, the remaining four nations had a total of forty-one spots. As expected, the Celestial Nation was far ahead.
After boarding the ship, Yue Yao was escorted by her subordinates to a superior room to rest. She suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked around. When she saw Miao Yi standing on the deck with Yan Beihong and the others, her eyes brightened. She couldn't help but admit that Miao Yi had been a great help to her.
Then, she watched as Yun Fei Yang happily squeezed through the crowd, grabbed Miao Yi's wrist, and dragged him away. She couldn't help but frown. 'Why are the people of the Devil Nation always so close to that guy...?'
After everyone had boarded the ship, it started moving. This time, the ship wasn't steered by dragon steeds. Instead, the ship sent by the Western Constellations Palace was steered by transcendent artifacts. It traveled at breakneck speed, breaking through the waves as it sped away.
Actually, there was still more than a month before the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade would end. However, for a Subjugation Crusade that had been going on for almost ten years, ending it a month earlier wasn't a big deal. After all, everyone would still have to spend two to three months on their way home.
Amidst the vast blue sea, there was a place where towering reefs could easily reach up to a hundred zhang in height. Amidst the vast blue sea, the reefs were as uneven as a forest. At the same time, they also looked like the massive fangs of a monstrous beast, giving off an intimidating aura. This was the Western Constellations Palace.
Most of the people on the ship ran out and stood at the bow of the ship, on the balcony, and on the deck, gazing at the towering reefs in awe. This was the first time even Yue Yao and the others had come to the Western Constellations Palace.
Furthermore, it was indeed an honor to be able to visit the Western Constellations Palace with a Blue Lotus cultivation. It was a sort of reward for those who had survived the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. When they returned, they could proudly tell the other cultivators that they had been to the Western Constellations Palace!
Most cultivators would definitely be amazed. The Western Constellations Palace might not be that extravagant, or that it might look like some sort of paradise on earth. However, most cultivators wouldn't even have the chance to catch a glimpse of it in their entire lives. This was because there were countless monsters lurking in the vast Sea of Constellations. It was impossible to get close to it, let alone visit it.
The ship slowly zigzagged its way into the 'massive fangs', as though it had entered a maze on water. Surrounding them, the seawater between the towering reefs was either deathly still or turbulent with white waves. The color of the seawater varied from dark blue to dark black. Giant sharks with their backs exposed could be seen swimming in the water, or claws of unknown creatures. It was a terrifying sight to behold, and mortals would never be able to get close to it.
After entering a dangerous place, the ship came to a halt. The enforcer cultivators from the Western Constellations Palace had everyone leave their mounts on the ship, as they would have to climb the rest of the way on foot.
The cliffs were extremely steep! Lifting their heads, everyone could see that they were stuck in a water prison. It was as though they were frogs looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. From time to time, they could even see ferocious tentacles reaching out from the seawater and stirring the water around them. They could also feel something crashing against the bottom of the ship.
In the end, Miao Yi and the others decided to bring their mounts along with them and kept them in their beast sacks.
As Yue Yao and the others took the lead and climbed up the cliffs, the other cultivators also leaped up from the ship and quickly climbed up the slippery cliffs.
One after another, everyone flew up to the peak that jutted out from the surface of the sea. It was as though they had just arrived in the mortal realm from hell. The scenery before them was completely different. Lush greenery and flowers bloomed like a brocade. In front of them stood a massive palace surrounded by verdant ancient trees. Pavilions and terraces stood tall and majestic.
The ancient and majestic aura of the palace caused everyone's hearts to race. This was the Western Constellations Palace, one of the four great divine palaces of the Sea of Constellations' Four Constellations Masters. Legend had it that this was the divine palace of the Western Constellations Master, Fu Qing, who had once contended against the Six Sages.
Before participating in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, no one would have thought that an ordinary cultivator like them would have the chance to come to the Western Constellations Palace. As soon as they saw the majestic palace that stood between the heavens and the earth, everyone was filled with joy. They felt as though all the suffering and suffering they had gone through was worth it.
