Miao Yi was already prepared for this. How could he let her escape? In the end, she was stopped by Yan Beihong and the others. Liu Qian was immediately captured by the Flowing Cloud Killer, while the others were so frightened by Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei's transcendent artifacts that they abandoned their weapons and rushed back.
As Liu Qian was escorted to Miao Yi, she cried out in fear, "Miao Yi, what are you trying to do? What right do you have to capture me?! "
"You know very well what you've done." Miao Yi had Yan Beihong untie her, then threw Zhou Huan and Mao Yifan's testimonies to her.
"This is a false accusation. A one-sided accusation …" Liu Qian was a little hysterical.
"Don't worry. I am about to be promoted, so I don't want to ruin my future by causing trouble. I will hand you all over to South Edict Manor later. But before that, you better leave behind a statement that I want. Otherwise, I won't mind killing you first! "Miao Yi sneered.
"Don't even think about it!" Liu Qian roared.
"The two of them have already sold you out. Do you want to let them off easy?"
"Don't try to drive a wedge between us. I won't fall for it. I don't believe you dare kill us! "
"Then I'll grant you your wish. I don't need your testimony either!" Miao Yi flipped his palm and grabbed his sword artifact.
"I'll write it!" At this crucial moment, before Miao Yi could even draw his sword, Liu Qian's desire to live made her shout out loud. She finally surrendered.
Since Miao Yi had already said that he would hand them over to South Edict Manor, she might as well surrender now. She could then betray him after arriving at South Edict Manor. Zhou Huan and Mao Yifan probably wouldn't be willing to die anyway, so she could just say that Miao Yi had forced them to do so. With the three major sects of South Edict Manor speaking up for them, Yang Qing wouldn't be able to easily convict them. Once Miao Yi left South Edict Manor, the matter would naturally be left unsettled. Yang Qing definitely wouldn't want to offend the three major sects for someone who had already left.
With that in mind, Liu Qian gritted her teeth and exposed the other two clans and Shen Fenghua, giving Miao Yi a satisfactory testimony.
Then, Miao Yi forced her into the conference hall and made her fellow disciples write down their testimonies as well.
Inside the Grand Hall, Miao Yi sat on the Mountain Chieftain's throne, reviewing the testimonies one after another. He inadvertently raised his head to look at the sky outside, then smiled at Yan Beihong and the others, who were watching the show from the side, and said, "It's getting late. Aren't the three of you going to get some rest?"
The three of them chuckled as they walked out of the hall. Miao Yi continued to read the confession in his hands and casually said, "Liu Qian. Help me send off my three esteemed guests! "
Liu Qian gritted her teeth and followed behind Yan Beihong and the others. She sneered inwardly. Just you wait and see. You want to deal with us just like that? Do you really think the forces of the three major sects in South Edict Manor are just for show?
Inside the hall, the Jade Lady Sect disciples didn't know if they should leave or stay. Suddenly, they heard Miao Yi calmly say from the throne, "All of you wait here. When your fellow disciples arrive, persuade them to leave their testimonies behind for me as well." As he finished speaking, he stood up and left.
The group of female disciples looked at each other and had no choice but to bite the bullet and sit cross-legged in the hall.
The lights inside the hall were dim, while the mountain path outside was pitch-black. Currently, there wasn't even a single person on night duty in Mount Calming Sea, causing the atmosphere in Mount Calming Sea to become even more eerie. Liu Qian escorted Yan Beihong and the others to the similarly pitch-black entrance of the side courtyard, then turned to leave.
Sikong Wuwei suddenly grinned and said, "Liu Qian. It's getting late. I'm worried about you walking alone at night. Why don't you stay here for the night? "
Liu Qian immediately realized that something was wrong. When she saw Sikong Wuwei approaching with a smirk on his face, she fearfully retreated and said, "What are you trying to do?"
She only took a few steps back before her body suddenly tensed up. Liu Qian stiffly fell to the ground. She saw that Yan Beihong's Flowing Cloud Killer had somehow tied her up again.
"Deacon Fan, Auntie Qing Ju, save me …" Liu Qian's terrified screams echoed through the dark mountains before coming to an abrupt halt.
Yan Beihong waved his hand. The Flowing Cloud Killer returned to his hand. He turned around and led Hong Xiu and Hong Fu, who were occasionally looking back, into the courtyard.
With his hands behind his back, Zhao Fei turned around and entered the side courtyard with an indifferent expression.
Sikong Wuwei carried the restrained Liu Qian horizontally in his arms and entered the courtyard. As he turned into the other side courtyard, he smiled at Liu Qian, who was glaring at him in fear, and said, "I really like what you said. It doesn't matter who I sleep with. Why don't you accompany me tonight …"
Liu Qian's cry for help had alarmed quite a few people. Qing Ju stood on top of the loft and gazed into the distance. She sighed and said, "Miao Yi, what are you trying to do? What are you trying to do? "
Fan Zizhang, on the other hand, furrowed his brows and muttered in the courtyard, "Is that all?" He had been waiting for Miao Yi to blow the matter up.
That cry for help didn't cause any commotion in Mount Calming Sea …
The next day, the disciples of the Jade Lady Sect arrived one after another. They were all 'invited' to the Assembly Hall. Under Yan Xiu's' persuasion 'and the silent nods of their fellow disciples, they wrote down their confessions of exposing Miao Yi.
Once the confessions were complete, Miao Yi was asked to come out. He sat on the throne and inspected the confessions one by one. When he was almost done, he said, "Yan Xiu, invite Liu Qian over!"
Yan Xiu acknowledged the order and left.
Not long after, Sikong Wuwei entered the Assembly Hall, carrying a person over his shoulder. He tossed the person on his shoulder onto the ground, then chuckled and tossed a storage ring over.
Xue'Er caught the storage ring with a stunned expression on her face. She watched as Sikong Wuwei walked to the back of the Assembly Hall with his hands behind his back.
She then looked at the person on the ground. Her hair was a mess, and her clothes were in disarray. Her fair thighs were bare, and she had only casually draped a jacket over her shoulders. She wasn't wearing anything underneath at all. Her expression was numb, and her eyes were dull and lifeless.
This person was none other than Liu Qian. Miao Yi had no idea what Sikong Wuwei had done to her last night to torment her to this state.
Sitting on the throne, Miao Yi only gave her a quick glance at the beginning. After that, he continued to read the jade archive in his hand.
Standing on either side of him, Qian'Er and Xue'Er exchanged glances. They both hated and sympathized with Liu Qian.
"Senior Aunt! Senior Sister!" The group of women sitting cross-legged in the Assembly Hall were shocked. They swarmed over and helped Liu Qian up. Some asked about her well-being, some checked her pulse, and some invoked their arts to help her.
Looking at the familiar faces of her fellow disciples, Liu Qian's dull eyes gradually revealed fear, and even despair. Her gaze fell on Miao Yi, who was standing high above her, flipping through the jade archives with disdain. Suddenly, she let out a bone-chilling shriek, "AHHH!"
"Devil! You devil! I'll kill you! Kill him for me … "Liu Qian shoved her fellow disciples away and suddenly leaped up. Her naked body was exposed as she pounced towards Miao Yi, who was sitting on the throne. She looked like a shrew in the marketplace.
Miao Yi lifted his gaze slightly, then coldly spat out, "Kill!"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er hurriedly summoned their Inversed-Scales Spears and attacked together. Pu! Pu! The spears pierced into Liu Qian's chest.
Liu Qian's bloodied body was sent flying, but she was still shouting with all her might in the air, "Kill him!"
"Senior Aunt, Senior Sister!" A commotion broke out in the Assembly Hall. The Jade Lady Sect disciples all brandished their nine-segmented whips and glared at Miao Yi. Even though they were furious, none of them dared to make a move.
Miao Yi put away the jade archive in his hand and stood up. He had been calm ever since he returned to Mount Calming Sea. Now, he finally revealed a savage expression as he glared at the crowd below and growled, "How dare you! How dare you rebel against your superiors! "
With a flip of his hand, he took out the Mystic Yin Mirror. A wave of cold Yin energy swept out mercilessly.
The cries of shock and the fleeing figures froze in the Assembly Hall. He retracted the cold Yin energy, and a group of stiff, frosty women fell to the ground.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er, who were shivering from the cold, were dumbfounded. They didn't expect the Mystic Yin Mirror in their Master's hands to be so powerful. Yan Xiu, who was watching from outside the Assembly Hall, was also stunned.
Before the three of them could regain their senses, Miao Yi had already coldly scoffed again, "Behead these traitors who have rebelled against their superiors, and report to South Edict Manor when we return!"
As soon as he said this. Before the three of them could react, Miao Yi glanced at Qian'Er and Xue'Er, then coldly said, "Do you still need me to teach you what to do?"
The three of them felt their hearts skip a beat. Only then did they walk over to the fallen crowd and behead them one by one.
Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, and Yan Beihong led Hong Xiu and Hong Fu out from the Assembly Hall.
With his hands behind his back, Sikong Wuwei shook his head and said, "Little Brother, you really don't have any tender feelings for the fairer sex. There are so many beautiful women here, yet you still have the heart to kill them! "
Zhao Fei tilted his head and said to Sikong Wuwei, "Stay away from me. Don't stand next to me."
"What do you mean?" Sikong Wuwei was shocked. He then noticed that Yan Beihong, Hong Xiu, and Hong Fu had also taken the initiative to move away from him. Hong Xiu and Hong Fu especially had a strange look in their eyes as they looked at him. In fact, it was fear.
He quickly realized what was going on. He glared at them and said, "You guys told me not to let that woman go, and now you're looking down on me? What kind of logic is this?!"
"Yan Xiu! Bring Zhou Huan and Mao Yifan here! "Miao Yi, who was standing in front of the throne, suddenly shouted.
Yan Xiu acknowledged the order and left. Not long after, he brought Zhou Huan and Mao Yifan into the hall and tossed them aside.
The two of them were tightly bound as they fell to the ground. They could see the tragic scene in the hall. When they looked at Miao Yi again, their eyes were wide open, and they couldn't help but whimper in fear. Only now did they truly regret what they had done, but it was already too late.
Miao Yi expressionlessly said, "Behead these two traitors!"
Yan Xiu raised his saber and swung down with his broad axe. Blood sprayed everywhere in the hall, and two heads rolled onto the ground before Yan Xiu stored them into his storage ring.
Miao Yi got down from the throne and strode out of the hall.
Yan Beihong and the others followed him to the courtyard at the back of the mountain where the Sword Deviate Sect disciples were kept. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Miao Yi had Tian Qingfeng gather all the Sword Deviate Sect disciples to the center of the courtyard.
After making sure that everyone was present, Miao Yi took out the Mystic Yin Mirror and blasted out a wave of cold Yin energy at the group of people.
Before they could even figure out what was going on, they were frozen on the spot, their bodies covered in a layer of frost.
Putting away the Mystic Yin Mirror, Miao Yi solemnly said, "A bunch of traitors. Behead them!"
Yan Xiu immediately charged out with a pair of broad axes in hand. Like a whirlwind, he chopped off dozens of heads.
Under the shocked gazes of Tian Qingfeng and the other School of Blue Jade disciples, Miao Yi put away the Mystic Yin Mirror and left. He then led his men straight to the courtyard where the School of Imperial Beasts disciples were kept.
Soon, the School of Blue Jade disciples guarding the other courtyard were also stunned …
In less than an hour, not a single Sword Deviate Sect disciple, Jade Lady Sect disciple, and School of Imperial Beasts disciple were left alive. More than ninety of them had all been slaughtered.
"It took less than an hour. Why waste so much effort?" Sikong Wuwei shook his head as he looked at the corpses strewn all over the courtyard.
Miao Yi calmly replied, "There's no one up there to speak up for me."
He had been in the cultivation realm for a few decades now, but in reality, these few decades were nothing compared to the cultivation realm. His foundation was still shallow, and he didn't have any connections at all. In fact, he hadn't even come into contact with anyone up there. If something were to happen, no one up there would speak up for him. On the other hand, there were plenty of enemies who would speak up for him. Without sufficient evidence, he wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. All he could do was be careful.
