Fan Zizhang, who was standing at the entrance of the side hall, could not bear to watch. He saw Shen Fenghua being beaten into a pig's head in the blink of an eye. He could not help but sigh in his heart. Shen Fenghua, of all people, you had to provoke the Hall Master's sworn brother.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er hated Shen Fenghua to the core. Today, they had finally vented their anger.
Yan Xiu smiled bitterly to himself. He realized that Miao Yi was not someone to be trifled with. He had even vented his anger here.
Miao Yi also noticed that something was amiss. Fatty Shen really had a way of surviving to this day. He was really ruthless to himself. Not only did he not retaliate when he hit him, he was clearly using a pitiful and pitiful manner to express his loyalty to the Hall Master. Or perhaps, he was trying to win the Hall Master's sympathy. It was fine for Miao Yi to beat him up, but it was not convenient for him to kill Huo Lingxiao's men without his consent.
Bang! Miao Yi suddenly sent Shen Fenghua flying with a kick.
"Pfff …" Shen Fenghua spat out a mouthful of blood and flew into the rockery not far away.
Miao Yi quickly chased after her.
Shen Fenghua, who had fallen to the ground, vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. When he turned his head around, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in his eyes. Soon after, he pitifully begged for mercy.
Keep pretending! Miao Yi laughed coldly in his heart. He landed on the ground and gave Shen Fenghua a few more slaps. At the same time, he looked to his left and right. Seeing that no one could see him in the fake mountain, he waved his hand and summoned a Second Grade Wolf Fang Mace from his storage ring. He then furiously smashed it down on Shen Fenghua's head.
Shen Fenghua turned pale with fright. It was fine to take a few more slaps, but how could he keep his life after taking a hit from the mace? He had compromised in order to save his life. If he lost his life, what was the point of compromising? This guy was determined to take his life!
Whoosh! Shen Fenghua's fat body was extremely nimble. He rolled on the ground and jumped up, leaping out of the fake mountain.
"Ah!" A scream came from below. "Bastard! How dare you plot against me! "
Shen Fenghua turned back to look at Miao Yi as he leapt into the air, only to see Miao Yi suddenly fall to the ground for no apparent reason. The scariest thing was that Miao Yi quickly wiped the blood he had just spat out from the ground to the side of his mouth. At the same time, he pointed a mirror at himself.
Shen Fenghua's pupils constricted.
The people outside were shocked when they heard Miao Yi's scream. They then saw a violent gray mist spurt out from the artificial mountain and into the sky, enveloping Shen Fenghua, who was leaping into the air.
The temperature in the courtyard suddenly dropped. Gusts of chilly wind could be felt as the grey mist that had been violently spewed out swept back into the fake mountain like a waterfall. Meanwhile, Shen Fenghua had already landed stiffly on the ground, and Miao Yi was seen leaping out from the fake mountain. He brandished a mace and smashed it down.
"Brother! Wait … "Huo Lingxiao shouted. It was too late!
Bang! Miao Yi ignored him and showed no mercy. With a swing of his mace, he smashed Shen Fenghua's head into pieces. There was no hope left for him.
Huo Lingxiao's face darkened. The hand that he had just raised slowly came down again, and the transcendence energy that lingered around his fingers was slowly withdrawn. The person was already dead, and it was too late to say anything.
The courtyard became completely silent. The sudden turn of events left everyone dumbstruck and unable to react.
Miao Yi propped his spiked mace on the ground, panting heavily as he pointed it at Shen Fenghua and bellowed, "This bastard was actually pretending to be pitiful, but he was secretly trying to kill me. How vicious!"
Blood dripped from his mouth. Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and Yan Xiu were shocked. They quickly surrounded him and asked, "Master! Are you alright? "
"I'm fine! I've fought my way out of the 180,000 cultivators in the Sea of Constellations. What haven't I seen before? Shen Fenghua's petty tricks can't do anything to me. All I did was spit out two mouthfuls of blood! " Miao Yi scoffed and put away his spiked mace. He then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve. As expected, he was a tough man.
The blood at the corner of his mouth was too obvious. As long as one wasn't blind, they would be able to tell that it was his own blood. Even Qian'Er and Xue'Er could tell that something was amiss. How could Miao Yi not quickly wipe away the concern that was on the tip of his tongue?
Shen Fenghua died just like that? Stunned, Fan Zizhang's eyes darted back and forth. Why did this situation feel so strange?
Tian Yu and Liu Xing were speechless. They could obviously tell that Huo Lingxiao wanted to protect Shen Fenghua. However, this had happened too suddenly. Even the Hall Master didn't expect Miao Yi to kill Shen Fenghua in front of him without his permission. Otherwise, with the Hall Master's cultivation, there was no way he would have let Miao Yi succeed.
Huo Lingxiao slowly walked over and silently stared at Shen Fenghua's corpse. He saw that Shen Fenghua's body, which was covered in frost, was emitting black smoke under the sunlight. He had died a very strange death.
He walked to the side of the fake mountain. He looked inside and saw that the blood on the ground showed signs of being wiped with a hand. When he compared it to the blood on Miao Yi's mouth, he immediately understood. He slowly turned to look at Miao Yi and said indifferently, "Little Brother, you have a good plan!"
Miao Yi immediately transmitted his voice, "Big Brother's eyes are like a torch. These little tricks can't fool Big Brother's eyes. I know that Big Brother can't do anything to your own subordinate because of me. If word gets out, others will think that Big Brother is biased and your subordinates will be disappointed. So, I used a little trick to get rid of this villain!"
'You're quite an honest man! ' Huo Lingxiao gritted his teeth. However, Shen Fenghua was already dead. There was no point in saying anything. There was no point in doing anything for a dead man.
It wasn't hard to decide which was more important. He walked back and asked, "May I know what transcendent artifact Little Brother used to kill Shen Fenghua?"
Miao Yi immediately took out the Mystic Yin Mirror and handed it over. "This is a transcendent artifact I stole from a Ghost Cultivator in the Sea of Constellations. To Big Brother, it's nothing more than a small trick."
Huo Lingxiao was a little taken aback. He didn't expect Miao Yi to be so generous. He quickly took the mirror and examined it. Suddenly, his body stiffened as a layer of frost covered his entire body. Under the sunlight, it was emitting a strange black smoke.
"Master!" Tian Yu and Liu Xing rushed forward in shock. When they saw that Huo Lingxiao's body was in the same state as Shen Fenghua's, they thought he had been tricked.
Covered in frost, Huo Lingxiao suddenly raised his hand and stopped the two of them.
Bang! Huo Lingxiao's body suddenly trembled, and the frost covering his body shattered to the ground. He opened his mouth and spat out a cold mist. Then, as if nothing had happened, he lowered his head and continued to examine the Mystic Yin Mirror in his hand.
Miao Yi was secretly shocked. The reason why he had so generously allowed Huo Lingxiao to examine it was because he knew that Huo Lingxiao would definitely want to investigate the Mystic Yin Mirror. He wanted to see how the Mystic Yin Mirror would fare against a Red Lotus expert. Who would've thought that it would be completely useless against an expert of Huo Lingxiao's cultivation?
"What a great treasure!" A hint of greed flashed across Huo Lingxiao's eyes. He then lifted his head in surprise and asked, "Little Brother, you can control this transcendent artifact?"
Miao Yi nodded. "There is a trick to controlling this transcendent artifact. Allow me to keep it a secret for now. If Big Brother likes it … "
Huo Lingxiao's eyes brightened. He thought that Miao Yi was going to give it to him. In that case, it would be impolite of him to refuse. At most, he would just humbly decline it before accepting it naturally.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi paused for a moment and said, "My cultivation is still weak. I will need this transcendent artifact for now. Once I find a place to settle down, I will definitely give this to Big Brother!"
These words made Huo Lingxiao happy, but in reality, it was as good as not saying anything at all. With the current state of the cultivation realm, what kind of situation would it be considered as settling down? Miao Yi had never thought of giving the Mystic Yin Mirror to Huo Lingxiao. He didn't even want to give him a greeting gift. 'You sent me to my death in the Sea of Constellations, and you expect me to give you a gift to thank you?'
Huo Lingxiao was speechless. It seemed he had been happy for nothing. However, the other party had already put it this way. How could he, as the so-called Big Brother, take away his little brother's life-saving treasure? How would his subordinates look at him when everyone was watching? Huo Lingxiao was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Miao Yi to the Sea of Constellations.
He could only laugh to cover up his embarrassment, then shoved the Mystic Yin Mirror back into Miao Yi's hands. He waved his hand and said, "Big Brother doesn't have anything worthy to give you. how can I take something from you instead?"
"That's true! With Big Brother's status, it's my fault that you don't care about this little gift of mine! " Miao Yi nodded. He didn't stand on ceremony and immediately put the mirror away. When he saw Huo Lingxiao glancing at Shen Fenghua's corpse on the ground, Miao Yi thought to himself and suddenly asked, "Big Brother! Where's Elder Sister-In-Law? We parted at the capital city's Jade Lake … "
How could he say this in front of everyone? Huo Lingxiao was startled and immediately interrupted, "Little Brother, let's talk inside." He smiled and pulled Miao Yi's arm back into the main hall.
Once again sitting down, Huo Lingxiao extended his hand and said, "Shen Fenghua has already been executed. Little Brother, don't take it to heart anymore. Have some tea!"
"There's no rush. I haven't given Elder Sister-In-Law …"
'Again?' Huo Lingxiao interrupted him again, "Little Brother!"
Miao Yi was stunned, as though asking, 'Why do you keep interrupting me?'
Huo Lingxiao was helpless and solemnly warned, "Little Brother, that person is not your Elder Sister-In-Law. You don't have one yet. Don't ever mention this again. Otherwise, you might bring trouble upon yourself. That's all I have to say!"
Miao Yi was confused. 'That woman is already lying in your arms. What are you afraid of?' He thought back to when Wu Menglan mentioned this woman on the way to the Sea of Constellations. She was also reluctant to talk about it. Just who was that woman? Why were the two Hall Masters so afraid of her?
He was getting more and more curious. However, since Huo Lingxiao had already put it this way, he couldn't ask any further. He definitely wouldn't be able to get anything out of him anyway.
Miao Yi purposely asked, "Big Brother, are you afraid that Hall Master Wu will be jealous if she finds out?"
Huo Lingxiao was taken aback. He didn't know why Miao Yi would say such a thing. He then recalled that he had said that he wanted to pursue Wu Menglan back at East Arrival Cave.
He didn't want to continue talking about this with Miao Yi. He really didn't think that Miao Yi was qualified to do so. If this brat hadn't received the favor of that person from Traversing Moon Palace, Huo Lingxiao wouldn't even bother to meet him, let alone sit here and talk about his personal matters. He quickly changed the topic...
However, Miao Yi didn't know what was good for him. After just a few sentences, he was able to come back to the topic of Huo Lingxiao's love life as a brother. Huo Lingxiao felt like he was about to go crazy. He couldn't stand Miao Yi any longer, so he quickly found an excuse to send him away.
In truth, Miao Yi didn't want to stay here and compete with Huo Lingxiao to see him off.
In the end, both parties politely said their goodbyes. Huo Lingxiao was' busy ', so he asked Tian Yu and Liu Xing to send him off.
Inside the main hall, Huo Lingxiao grabbed Fan Zizhang and started scolding him.
At the main entrance of the palace, Miao Yi glanced around and suddenly stopped. He took out two low-grade Orbs of Will and gave them to Qian'Er and Xue'Er respectively. He then pointed to the two guards at the entrance and said loudly, "The Hall Master is my sworn brother. They are loyal to my Big Brother, so they should be rewarded!"
It was just two low-grade Orbs of Will, and it was given to two people at that. In Suppressing Second Hall, how could such a small reward be taken out? Qian'Er and Xue'Er were a little embarrassed, but they still obeyed.
The two guards looked at Tian Yu and Liu Xing in shock. They didn't know whether they should keep the orbs or not.
