The sound of galloping hooves could be heard as another two hundred riders arrived. They were still Raincloud Manor's forces, the same ones that Miao Yi had shaken off earlier!
Meanwhile, the members of Pure Dream Manor were grumbling in their hearts. 'He's really turning out in full force! What do they think Pure Dream Manor is …? '
The sound of galloping hooves could be heard once more as Miao Yi led the rest of his forces away.
Xu Huihuang was left behind with a stiff smile on his face as he waved his hand to send him off. The reason why Manor Head Xu was smiling stiffly was because Manor Head Miao had left over two hundred bloody heads and two hundred bloody corpses on the plaza of his Assembly Hall.
That was a real massacre! Among them were Raincloud Manor's forces, Mulberry Cloud Manor's forces, and even the remnants of Tranquil Sun Manor's forces. Not a single one was spared. Every single one of them had been killed!
Everyone in Pure Dream Manor was horrified by Miao Yi's ruthlessness. They had never seen anything like this before. Many of them would probably have nightmares about this later!
As he watched the troops leave, Manor Head Xu grit his teeth with a stiff smile on his face. He wanted to go back and report Miao Yi again, but then he changed his mind. 'If I can't take down this guy, he's living right next door!' Who knew what this lunatic would do next? Tranquil Sun Manor was a perfect example!
'Forget it. I'll see how Suppressing Tenth Hall deals with Tranquil Sun Manor first!' If Suppressing Tenth Hall wanted to deal with Miao Yi, then it wouldn't be too late for him to kick them when they were down! Manor Head Xu took a deep breath of the bloody air and immediately felt disgusted. He turned around and roared, "What are you waiting for? Clean this up!"
The troops from Raincloud Manor could no longer be seen riding in an orderly formation. All they could do was run as fast as they could. Many of them were still reminiscing about the massacre they had just witnessed, unable to extricate themselves from it. Occasionally, their gazes would sweep across the Manor Head who was galloping in front of them, and an unconcealable look of fear could be seen in their eyes!
A wolf had suddenly appeared among the flock of sheep to lead them!
Along the way, Miao Yi ran into Sikong Wuwei, who was rushing over with his men to clean up the mess. Miao Yi called out to him, "Don't bother. I've already taken care of it for you. I've given the head to Xu Huihuang as a gift!"
"Those bastards had it easy!" Sikong Wuwei cursed angrily. Betrayal had already crossed his bottom line.
Both sides rode side by side. Not long after, they parted ways again. Sikong Wuwei had just experienced a great battle, so he was not in the mood to stay here any longer. He still had to reorganize his own side.
Along the way, Miao Yi took stock of his troops. Including those who had died in battle and those who had been beheaded by him, they had lost more than a hundred people.
As soon as they entered Raincloud Manor's territory, Miao Yi summoned the nine Mountain Chieftains, as well as the last one who betrayed Han Chunfeng and had his head chopped off. Then, he gathered the nine Mountain Chieftains and came up with a unified statement regarding the war. He ordered the Mountain Chieftains to return and immediately unify the accounts of their subordinates.
The troops began to disperse. The various Mountain Chieftains led their troops back to their respective places. Chen Fei immediately took over the position of the fellow who had his head chopped off. It could be said that he had directly taken up his post …
"Big brother!"
As soon as Miao Yi led his troops back to his official residence in Raincloud Manor, he immediately saw Wen Fang waiting for him. Naturally, he was curious as to why this woman had come all the way here.
When he found out that Wen Fang didn't hesitate to give up the South Edict City's Shopkeeper to come here and work as a teller, Miao Yi was truly impressed by this woman.
As for Wen Fang, she had only come to see him once he returned. She still had to pay a visit to Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei, so she didn't stay for long before bidding her farewell. Miao Yi didn't make her go there for nothing. He told her to come visit Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei when she had the time. When that time came, Qian'Er and Xue'Er would have some matters for her to handle. Wen Fang was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Her mouth was as sweet as honey as she took her leave …
After sending Wen Fang off, Miao Yi led Qian'Er and Xue'Er to the island furthest away from the Manor Head's residence.
This island had become a forbidden zone. Yao Ruoxian, who had rushed over from Mount Calming Sea, had already settled down here.
The environment here wasn't bad. The courtyard was quiet, and the trees were verdant. One could even take a boat on the lake. Furthermore, it was quiet, so no one would come to disturb them. This was Yao Ruoxian's own world. It was much better than when Yao Ruoxian used to hide away in a cave.
When he saw the three of them walking over, Yao Ruoxian, who was lying on a rocking chair under the shade of a tree, scoffed and said, "Brat, you sure are busy. You're running around all over the place. It's so hard to even get a chance to see you! I say, you're not purposely avoiding me, are you?! "
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not avoiding you. If I really wanted to, I wouldn't have told you that I was coming here. I just came back from a battle and razed the neighboring Tranquil Sun Manor. If you don't believe me, you can ask Qian'Er and Xue'Er!"
Yao Ruoxian's expression froze. "Razed the neighboring Tranquil Sun Manor?"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er quickly nodded.
Yao Ruoxian looked at Miao Yi, a little speechless. He realized that this guy's wings had indeed hardened. He could raze an entire manor just like that. How many people did he have to kill to do that?
However, this wasn't something a Loose Cultivator like him should be concerned about. He glanced at Qian'Er and Xue'Er. Seeing that the two girls were fine, he stood up and extended his hand to Miao Yi, saying, "I heard that you came in tenth place in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. You must have brought quite a few good things with you. Let me have a look!"
If his two daughters weren't here, he wouldn't have been so courteous. He would've already tried to snatch them by force.
Miao Yi smiled faintly and strolled over to an empty space nearby. He stretched out his arms and caught Qi Xiuhong's corpse in his arms. Under the astonished gazes of Yao Ruoxian and the two girls, he slowly placed Qi Xiuhong's corpse on the ground. A Red Blaze Resin was ignited, and the ferocious flames engulfed Qi Xiuhong's corpse.
Slowly backing away, Miao Yi stared at the figure that was quickly disappearing into the flames. He smiled, then turned around and walked back with his hands behind his back.
Yao Ruoxian pointed at the place where the flames were burning and asked suspiciously, "Kid, who was that? Why did you bring her here to be cremated? "
Miao Yi waved his hand and pointed to his surroundings. "After returning from the Sea of Constellations, I originally had a better place to go. The main reason I chose this place was to avenge her. The reason I razed Tranquil Sun Manor to the ground was because of her."
Yao Ruoxian asked curiously, "What's going on?" The two girls were also curious.
"I met her on the ship to the Sea of Constellations. She came from Tranquil Sun Manor. When she went to the Sea of Constellations, her cultivation was even worse than mine, only at White Lotus Fifth Grade …" Miao Yi turned around and looked at the raging flames. As though he was pouring out his heart, he recounted how he and Qi Xiuhong had met. He even told them about how he forcefully took Qi Xiuhong's body on a stormy night, and how he bumped into Yao Sage Ji Huan's nephew, Bai Ziliang, all the way until Qi Xiuhong perished in the Demon Refining Gourd.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were already shedding tears as they watched the raging flames. This woman was too pitiful. They didn't know how she had endured all those years in Tranquil Sun Manor, but in the end, she still couldn't escape death. Especially when they heard how this lowly woman was afraid that Miao Yi would look down on her, and had always kept her distance from him. Before she died, she even asked him if he had ever liked her. The two girls were instantly moved, and burst into tears.
As he recalled that final moment, Miao Yi's face was filled with pain. He tilted his head and slowly closed his eyes. Two streaks of tears slowly flowed down his cheeks.
Before this, he had always been 'living' for the sake of 'living'. He didn't understand the love between a man and a woman. But now that he understood it, he realized how painful it was. It was a pain that pierced through his heart, and he would remember it for the rest of his life. No matter how many people he killed, he couldn't bring back that lowly life, nor could he make up for it!
"Sigh! What is love in this world … "Yao Ruoxian sighed softly, and tilted his head to look at the vast lake in the distance. His gaze was a little dazed, as though he was thinking of something.
When he came back to his senses, he asked again, "How did you escape from the Demon Refining Gourd?"
As soon as Miao Yi opened his eyes, the tears on his face turned into mist and dissipated. With a flip of his palm, thirty-five tiny mantids flew out. He pointed at the flying little ones and said, "Luckily I brought them with me. They were the ones who gnawed a hole in the Demon Refining Gourd from the inside. They broke the Demon Refining Gourd, and I was lucky enough to escape."
Seeing that not a single one of the thirty-five tiny mantids was missing, Yao Ruoxian heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He also released the tiny mantids that were hibernating inside the storage bangle. Miao Yi had been gone for too long, so he couldn't control them anymore. Thus, he could only keep them inside the storage bangle.
Using his will, Miao Yi commanded the little ones to land on a tree. He then said in a low voice, "It's a pity they were too small at the time. If they were a little bigger, they would have been able to save Qi Xiuhong in time." He took out a storage bangle and tossed it to Yao Ruoxian. "Haven't you always wanted to raise them? Before I left, you asked me to get something for you. There are five hundred thousand First Grade Yao Cores inside. I'll leave the rest with you. It's not safe for me to carry them with me when I'm running around outside. I'm afraid I might accidentally let someone else take advantage of them. "
Yao Ruoxian received the bangle and immediately opened his mouth wide. He continued to open his mouth wide as he counted the items inside. After he was done, he sucked in a breath of cold air and clicked his tongue non-stop. Other than the five hundred thousand First Grade Yao Cores that Miao Yi had mentioned, there were also a hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will and three thousand Second Grade Armor Artifacts. These were the most valuable items!
Yao Ruoxian abruptly raised his head and exclaimed in shock, "I didn't expect the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade to be so lucrative. Just how much did you manage to scoop up? I believe this is only a portion of it. I'm sure you have more on you."
Miao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I told you. I'm afraid it's not safe for me to carry these things around with me, so I gave most of them to you. I gave the rest to Qian'Er and Xue'Er. I only have a few leftovers on me to use as a bribe."
"Don't try to play tricks with me. You're very cunning!" Yao Ruoxian's old habit was acting up again. He suddenly grabbed Miao Yi's wrist, then subconsciously turned around to look. As expected, he saw the resentful gazes of Qian'Er and Xue'Er. He immediately let out a dry laugh and said, "Good girls, good girls. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to take a look.
Haha, I just wanted to take a look! "After giving him a brief explanation, he immediately grabbed Miao Yi and searched him. He discovered that there were about a hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will, forty thousand First Grade Yao Cores, a hundred First Grade Transcendent Artifacts, and five hundred Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts. They were far inferior to the ones he had just received. There were also some miscellaneous items that didn't seem as valuable as the items he had just received.
However, as a well-known figure in the world of artifact refinement, he naturally had a keen eye. He immediately picked out the Mystic Yin Mirror, a black staff, and a chain made of eighteen pearls the size of eggs. He asked, "What are these three items?"
"They're just three top-grade Second Grade Transcendent Artifacts!" Miao Yi immediately warned, "Old monster, these are the items I kept on me to protect my life. You won't take them away, will you?"
