The repelled python flashed red in the air and transformed into a muscular man, glaring at the attacker.
The attacker was none other than Tang Jun.
'Yan Beihong 'had done a great deed for the Realm Beyond Heaven. Even if there was no reward, he couldn't let him suffer. If he were to stand by and watch, not only would no one serve the Realm Beyond Heaven in the future, he would also be mocked by others. Thus, as the representative of the team, he couldn't just stand by and watch.
Tang Jun swept a glance at the python spirit, then calmly said with his hands behind his back, "This is understandable. He clearly didn't keep it for himself. Anyone with eyes can see that. I don't think I need to say anything more."
Ji Meimei suddenly laughed coldly and said, "This person is clearly not being honest. If he hadn't discovered it, he would definitely have taken it away."
A hint of hatred flashed across her eyes as she looked at Miao Yi. She had asked Lan Susu in secret just now and found out that her son's failure this time was all because of this' Yan Beihong '. She couldn't wait to tear Miao Yi into pieces, so she naturally added insult to injury.
As soon as she spoke, Zhao Fei and the others were all worried for Miao Yi. On the other hand, Miao Yi simply stood there with a cold expression on his face.
"Ji Meimei, your son is a failure. Don't take it out on the people of the Celestial Nation!" Tang Jun abruptly turned around with a fierce look in his eyes. He didn't hold back at all.
Ji Meimei had Yao Sage Ji Huan behind her, and he had Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun behind him. Naturally, he had nothing to fear. How could he back down now? If he really allowed someone to kill 'Yan Beihong' right now, he would lose face first and foremost.
"Tang Jun!" Ji Meimei, whose weak spot had been poked, bellowed, "I'm just stating facts. Don't go overboard with your nonsense!"
"I'm talking nonsense?" Tang Jun scoffed, "He has no grudge against you. It's just a small matter. Why must you kill him?"
Ji Meimei retorted, "I'm stating the truth. If he hadn't discovered it, he would have definitely taken the Geotranscendence Bangle with him. Tang Jun, the Western Constellations Palace is not a place for you to do as you please! "
"Senior Ji, I can testify. One of Bai Ziliang's' treasures' was destroyed by 'Yan Beihong'. Otherwise, Bai Ziliang wouldn't have lost so badly. "
Yun Feiyang, who was on the Devil Nation's side, suddenly raised his hand and spoke in a weak voice.
Everyone looked over in surprise, wondering why this kid was joining in the fun. These words undoubtedly proved that Ji Meimei was taking revenge. She was indeed taking advantage of the situation to add insult to injury.
Bai Ziliang glared at Yun Fei Yang angrily, but Yun Fei Yang smiled at him instead, as if saying, "I'm not afraid of you."
Ji Meimei turned around and said sternly, "Yun Guang, watch your son's foul mouth!"
Yun Guang glanced at her sexy figure. Very nice of him. Pa! He raised his hand and slapped the back of Yun Fei Yang's head. Yun Fei Yang staggered and almost fell to the ground. "Little brat, you have no respect for your elders. Is there any place for you to interrupt when adults are talking?"
Yun Feiyang resentfully turned around and sent a voice transmission, "At the last moment of the Subjugation Crusade, Hei Wuya and I fought. At the most critical moment, this Yan Beihong lent a helping hand, and our Devil Nation didn't suffer any losses. This is something that many people saw. Do you want me to pretend that I didn't see anything and be a coward? Do I still want to go out and meet people in the future? "
'So that's how it is!' Yun Guang was taken aback. He then coughed and pointed at Ji Meimei, correcting himself as he said to Yun Fei Yang, "Your old man might very well take her as a concubine in the future. We'll all be one family in the future, so it's not your place to spout nonsense. Hurry up and call her Aunt Ji!"
Many people were rendered speechless by what he was saying. Yun Fei Yang was a little dumbfounded. "Are you serious?"
"Pfft!" Hei Yun could not help but laugh. However, when he realized that his son was right beside him, he realized that he was being too undignified. He hurriedly wiped away the lecherous smile on his face.
Ji Meimei was so angry that her entire body was trembling. This Yun Guang was too arrogant. It was one thing for him to say such things normally, but now he was actually teasing her in front of her son. How could she and her son endure this?!
As expected, Bai Ziliang was enraged. His face flushed red as he charged at Yun Guang without a care in the world. "I'll kill you!"
Yun Guang gave him a sidelong glance, then casually waved his hand and grabbed at the air. The incoming Bai Ziliang immediately froze in midair. The two of them were on completely different levels.
Yun Guang squeezed his fingers slightly, and Bai Ziliang, who was floating in the air, immediately revealed a pained expression. Yun Guang coldly snorted, "How dare you attack me! You must be tired of living!"
"Yun Guang, don't you dare!" Ji Meimei grew anxious. Afraid that Yun Guang would kill her son, she immediately charged at him in rage.
Yun Guang was disdainful. With one hand holding Bai Ziliang in place, he quickly clashed with Ji Meimei with his other hand. In an instant, a violent gale swept through the grand hall, and a thunderous boom resounded.
"Hmm …"
A cold snort that exuded an aura of authority suddenly reverberated throughout the entire Western Constellations Palace, causing everyone's eardrums to hurt and their hearts to tremble.
Yun Guang's expression changed as he quickly retracted his hand and let go of Bai Ziliang. Ji Meimei didn't dare to act rashly either. She quickly moved to support Bai Ziliang.
"Old scum Yun Guang, I will definitely kill you one day!" Bai Ziliang pointed at Yun Guang, his voice stern. He could tolerate his loss in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, but he couldn't tolerate his own mother being molested in public. He could only hate himself for being so useless.
Ji Meimei pulled her son back and told him to stop talking. In terms of cultivation, both mother and son together were no match for Yun Guang. There was no need for them to suffer a loss like this. Besides, even the master of the Western Constellations Palace had spoken up. This wasn't a place where they could act as they pleased.
Back then, when Ji Meimei disobeyed Yao Sage Ji Huan and insisted on marrying Bai Ziliang's father, Ji Huan had warned her, 'Don't regret it when the time comes!'
Ji Meimei could still clearly remember how she responded to her father at that time. She loudly declared, 'I will never regret it!'
Her father then scoffed, 'You overestimate yourself. It looks like I've spoiled you too much. Whether you're a yao or a human, you have to pay the price for your stubbornness. Don't hate me in the future, because this is the path you've chosen. I can only take care of those who walk the same path as me!'
Since ancient times, orphans and widows had always been easy targets to bully. It would be a lie if Ji Meimei said she didn't regret her actions at all after being humiliated for so long.
She had gone from a high and mighty princess to an orphan and widowed mother. She had lost much of her authority and resources. This was the consequence of disobeying her father. However, some things had already happened. There was no use regretting it now. All she could do was pretend to be strong.
But then again, there were times when one would only invite humiliation upon oneself. If she hadn't spoken up and added insult to injury, then this wouldn't have happened. If she hadn't forced her son to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade, then none of this would have happened.
"You'll have to get through me first!" Yun Fei Yang shouted at Bai Ziliang.
Yun Guang pulled his son back. He didn't want to anger the master of the Western Constellations Palace either, so he said in a mocking tone, "Your father has heard even more vicious words than this. There are plenty of people in this world who shout and spout nonsense, but how many of them are actually capable of doing so? Why bother with him?! "
The one overseeing the side hall asked, "Are you two done yet?"
Both sides fell silent.
The other participating cultivators couldn't help but exchange glances. Today, they finally got to see what kind of people these high and mighty people were like.
That person walked up to Miao Yi and reached out to grab the Geotranscendence Bangle on Qi Xiuhong's wrist. The Geotranscendence Bangle instantly shone with a golden radiance and expanded in size, easily removing it from Qi Xiuhong's wrist. He then casually tossed it to another person, then turned to Miao Yi and said, "This Geotranscendence Bangle will be added to his ranking."
With that, Yan Beihong became the only one left in thirteenth place, while the others all dropped to fourteenth place.
Zhao Fei and the others secretly heaved a sigh of relief for Miao Yi. At the same time, they watched as Miao Yi silently put away Qi Xiuhong's corpse and sighed in their hearts.
The people from the Western Constellations Palace, on the other hand, were troubled. Based on past experiences, it wouldn't be easy to divide the six hundred thousand Orbs of Will according to the ranking!
In the end, after discussing with Yun Guang and the others, they decided to divide the Orbs of Will according to the ranking of the top thirteen participants, while the remaining Orbs of Will would be divided equally among the eighty-six participants in the fourteenth place.
"First place, Yue Yao!" The people from the Western Constellations Palace began calling out names.
Yue Yao stepped forward and took one-fifth of the six hundred thousand Orbs of Will. She alone took away one hundred and twenty thousand Orbs of Will.
The remaining Orbs of Will were then taken away one fifth of the remaining Orbs of Will.
Ji Meimei originally thought that her son wouldn't accept the reward for the sake of his reputation, so she was prepared to accept it on his behalf. However, when she called out the name 'Bai Ziliang', he still stepped forward to accept the reward with an ugly expression on his face.
Ji Meimei was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Bai Ziliang came back with the reward and showed it to her. He then transmitted his voice to her, saying, "Mother and I exchanged humiliation for this. You can't take anything less than what you deserve! From today onwards, I will work hard. I don't need Mother to remind me anymore. In the future, I will definitely wash away this humiliation with blood! All those who have humiliated us must pay the price! "
Ji Meimei was on the verge of tears. With reddened eyes, she turned around so that no one could see what was going on. She transmitted her voice back, "Mother is useless. I have let you suffer!"
"It has nothing to do with Mother. I was too naive in the past!" Bai Ziliang gritted his teeth.
"Tenth place, Miao Yi!"
When this name was announced, Yue Yao, who was secretly transmitting her voice to her Senior Sister, shuddered. She quickly scanned the crowd of cultivators.
Beside Kong Zhi, Ba Jie, who was wearing snow-white monk robes and a peaceful expression on his face, also looked as though he was struck by lightning. He abruptly raised his head and swept his gaze across the crowd. Even his breathing was a little ragged.
Grandmaster Qi Jie furrowed his white brows as he swept a deep gaze across the crowd.
Could it be that Miao Yi, who was in the Red Scarves Alliance after receiving the news, was still alive? But why didn't Junior Sister notice anything when she was leading the remaining Celestial Nation cultivators on the nameless island? Could it be that he knew something and was intentionally hiding it? Fairy Hong Chen was also shocked as she swept her gaze across the crowd.
Miao Yi quickly stole a glance at Yue Yao's reaction. His fists were tightly clenched within his sleeves, but he put on an indifferent expression on his face.
'Sigh! ' Sighing inwardly, Yan Beihong braced himself and strode out from the crowd to receive his reward.
Fairy Hong Chen didn't have any impression of Miao Yi. When she saw that it was actually such a burly, bearded man, she quickly turned to look at her Junior Sister, only to see her staring at 'Miao Yi' with a look of confusion in her eyes.
On the other side, Ba Jie also had a look of astonishment on his face. He seemed to feel that something was amiss.
Of course, people would change when they grew up, but it wasn't to such an extent. They didn't look alike at all. Even the shape of their skulls was completely different. Could it be that they shared the same name?
