Slap! Bai Ziliang was slapped across the face. Most of his teeth flew out amidst the fresh blood. His nose and mouth were also bleeding, and he was sent flying. He landed a dozen meters away, unconscious.
"Ziliang!" Ji Meimei cried out in alarm. She rushed over to hold her son and examined him. Seeing that his life was no longer in danger, she buried her head in his arms and sobbed. She regretted forcing her son to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade.
Lie Huan coldly said, "Next!"
Slap! Lan Susu was sent flying with another slap. She coughed up a mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground and fainted.
"Next!"
Slap! Another person was sent flying with a mouthful of blood.
Ba Jie trembled in fear at the sight of everyone obediently walking up to be beaten up by Lie Huan. After he was done with the Yao Nation, he moved on to the Buddhist Nation.
After witnessing Kong Zhi being sent flying with a single slap, Ba Jie looked at Grandmaster Qi Jie pitifully.
Grandmaster Qi Jie clasped his hands together in silence. Lie Huan had intended to kill these people. Now that he had only slapped each of them without harming their lives, he was already showing him enough respect. To put it bluntly, he was just making them suffer a little. This was indeed a small punishment to warn them off. He couldn't say anything else. Even Kong Zhi had been beaten up, so he couldn't say anything for his own disciple.
However, Ba Jie wasn't one to sit and wait for death. Even though this slap wouldn't kill, it was enough to send someone flying with a mouthful of blood and make them faint. It was a frightening sight. Who would be willing to suffer like this?
Grandmaster Qi Jie's silence didn't mean that Ba Jie wouldn't either. As he walked up to be beaten up by Lie Huan, he walked past Qi Jie and shouted, "Master! I am your only disciple, the sole disciple of the 'Jie school'! If anything happens to me, you must take care of yourself! "
It was hard to tell if these words were meant for Grandmaster Qi Jie or Lie Huan.
Grandmaster Qi Jie smiled bitterly.
Yun Guang and the others were speechless, thinking, 'What a cunning monk. Lie Huan gave Grandmaster Qi Jie so much respect, yet you made it so clear.
How could Yue Yao have such a second brother? 'Fairy Hong Chen lowered her head and sighed.
Lie Huan's gaze flickered as he glanced at Grandmaster Qi Jie's reaction. 'It seems this monk really is Grandmaster Qi Jie's personal disciple.'
He glanced at Ba Jie, who was carefully approaching him with his palms clasped together. Lie Huan scoffed and said, "Little monk with a glib tongue. Don't dirty my hands. Get lost!"
"Amitabha!" Ba Jie bowed, then hurriedly turned around and ran. He heaved a huge sigh of relief, thinking that the old demon had indeed given face to the old bald donkey and escaped this calamity.
The monk behind him was not so lucky. Pa! Another slap sent him flying!
Out of the twelve, eleven of them fainted as they vomited blood and lost their teeth. The remaining Ba Jie hid behind Grandmaster Qi Jie.
After a small punishment, Lie Huan turned to face the ancient palace, cupped his fists and bowed, then turned to Qing Feng and cupped his fists. Qing Feng nodded. Lie Huan turned to look at the crowd, then snorted coldly, transformed into a streak of light, and flew off into the distance.
Yun Guang and the others looked at the ancient palace thoughtfully. They would rather spare Yan Beihong than punish the people from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons and the Realm of High Paradise. The reason behind this was worth pondering.
"Envoy Qing, do you have any other instructions?" Grandmaster Qi Jie pressed his palms together and asked.
"Remember to leave before sunrise tomorrow!" Qing Feng said plainly, then turned around and left. 'Clearly, the Western Constellations Palace doesn't welcome people like you. '
Grandmaster Qi Jie sighed. With a wave of his sleeve, the five unconscious monks floated up behind him and left with him.
Ba Jie obediently followed behind. This place really wasn't safe. It was better to follow behind Master...
The next day, Miao Yi and the others were drifting on the sea. The twenty-one survivors of the Celestial Nation Subjugation Crusade were on a medium-sized ship. The Western Constellations Palace lanterns were hung on the bow of the ship, and the Yao crowd avoided them. None of them dared to stop them.
The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade was over, and the countless Yao beasts that had been purged from the Western Star Sea had already returned. From time to time, the silhouettes flying across the sky and sea were proof that there were no Western Constellations Palace lanterns hanging on the bow of the ship. It wouldn't be that easy for them to leave.
Yue Yao and the others naturally couldn't squeeze onto the ship with them and had already flown off with Tang Jun and the others. Meanwhile, Miao Yi and the others weren't qualified to be personally escorted home by Tang Jun and the others. They could only return the way they came.
The people on the ship didn't know that Lie Huan had arrived yesterday, nor did they know what had happened. Naturally, they didn't have the right to ask Tang Jun to explain anything to them. The people on the ship were only filled with the excitement of returning home. They were completely unaware of what had happened behind the scenes...
Fifth Earthly Branch, Traversing Moon Palace. Inside the luxurious Palace Master's bedroom, green smoke was rising from the incense burner in front of the couch. A woman with a head full of fine black hair was lying on the couch, her upper body slightly propped up. Her eyes were half-closed, and she was currently sucking in the green smoke with an infatuated look on her face.
Her breasts were full and snow-white, and it was enough to make one's blood boil. Her light yellow dress had already slid down to her arms, revealing half of her snow-white back. At the slit of her dress, a pair of slender, snow-white legs were being caressed.
When he touched her sensitive spot, the indolent, charming woman couldn't help but giggle. She lay on the couch and hooked one of her slender legs up, placing her foot on the man's face.
That man was none other than the Hall Master of Suppressing Second Hall, Huo Lingxiao. He grabbed the woman's ankle with one hand, and was actually kissing the foot she was extending towards him. His other hand continued to move downwards, exploring between her legs, causing the woman to let out a soft moan.
He then moved his hand up to the woman's voluptuous buttocks, and down to her smooth back. Finally, he slid his hand down to her breasts, and grasped her voluptuous mound.
The scene in front of him was too erotic. Huo Lingxiao's breathing quickened, and he seemed to be unable to restrain himself. He suddenly pulled the woman's clothes down to her waist, and the woman's snow-white and graceful upper body was completely exposed to the air.
The woman immediately buried her head on the couch and giggled incessantly. Her shoulders trembled as she laughed.
Huo Lingxiao gritted his teeth and tore off his long robe, revealing his upper body. Like a hungry wolf, he pressed down on the woman's body, kissing her back in a frenzy. His hands couldn't wait to remove the last bit of cover on the woman's body.
The woman suddenly waved her jade pendant and pushed Huo Lingxiao to the side. Her fine black hair fell behind her back, and she propped her head up with one arm as she lay on her side.
Huo Lingxiao seemed to be a little dissatisfied. This feeling of being able to touch but not be able to taste was really driving him crazy. He pounced on her again and hugged her. In the end, he met the woman's sidelong glance. She had a faint smile on her face, and her bright and charming eyes seemed to hide a hint of sharpness.
Huo Lingxiao's expression froze, as though he had instantly sobered up. He slowly pulled her clothes up to her waist, and then pulled them up to her shoulders, covering her exposed snow-white mounds. He caressed her through her clothes, then lowered his head and kissed her half-exposed shoulder. He asked, "May I know why the Palace Lord has summoned me?"
This woman was none other than the Traversing Moon Palace Lord, Zhang Tianxiao. One would easily mistake her for a man just by hearing her name. Who would have thought that she was actually such a charming woman? Her parents must have given her this name because they wanted her to be happy every day. However, Miao Yi didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Huo Lingxiao.
He had actually seen this woman before. She was none other than Huo Lingxiao and Xiao Xiao back at the Jade Lake in the capital city of the Fifth Earthly Branch.
Zhang Tianxiao closed her eyes again, enjoying his caresses and kisses. She then said in a lazy voice, "It's nothing much. The Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade has already ended, and the surviving participants are already on their way back. They'll probably be back in two or three months. Aren't you interested in the results?"
Huo Lingxiao smiled wryly as he leaned against her from behind. "It doesn't matter whether I care or not. My Suppressing Second Hall doesn't have any suitable experts to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade either. The final results will definitely have nothing to do with my Suppressing Second Hall. For the Palace Lord to suddenly bring this up, could it be that Traversing Moon Palace had some unexpected gains this year? "
Zhang Tianxiao chuckled and said, "There was indeed an unexpected gain. In this year's Subjugation Crusade, the Fifth Earthly Branch has taken up six spots."
Huo Lingxiao, who was obsessed with her body, raised his head in surprise and said, "Six? That many? "
"Yes. The Overlord was surprised as well. You should know that the Six Sages each sent six people to participate in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade this time, and they've already taken up quite a number of spots. It's naturally surprising that they were able to take up six spots in one go under such circumstances."
"The Six Sages also sent people to participate?" Huo Lingxiao was shocked once again. He didn't know about this yet. His old lover, Wu Menglan, had found out about this when she was escorting the ship. However, it wasn't convenient for her to reveal it to the public. She only told Miao Yi because he was a participant.
Zhang Tianxiao nodded slightly and said, "Because of this, there's an additional reward for this year's Subjugation Crusade. Those who survive will be able to take up the position of Manor Head in any of the Fifth Earthly Branch based on their ranking."
Huo Lingxiao smiled and asked, "May I know how many of Palace Lord's subordinates are among these six elites?"
"How many do you want? I'm already surprised that there's even one. Ever since I've been in charge of Traversing Moon Palace, I've never had a single spot in the Subjugation Crusade. "Zhang Tianxiao turned to look at him and smiled." Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. "
"Thank me?" Huo Lingxiao was stunned. He asked suspiciously, "Could it be someone from my Suppressing Second Hall? That doesn't seem possible, does it? "
"Don't tell me you don't know who Miao Yi is?" Palace Lord Zhang asked with a smile.
"Miao Yi?" Huo Lingxiao was flabbergasted.
Zhang Tianxiao giggled and said, "At first, I thought I'd heard this name somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where. After I checked his background, I realized that I've met him before. He's even your sworn brother, Hall Master Huo. Tell me, shouldn't I thank you?"
"How … how is this possible?" Huo Lingxiao still had a look of disbelief on his face. That cheap little brother of his actually came back alive from the Sea of Constellations?
