His words … were arrogant despite being 'low-key'.
Ximen Yan broke out in cold sweat on his behalf, while the others were stunned.
Hu Zifen asked in surprise, "Advisor Miao, are you joking with us?"
Miao Yi calmly replied, "I'm not joking. I already said that I don't want to embarrass everyone. I'll let it go with a little compensation."
"We don't have any Orbs of Will!" Ma Weihan looked at the others' expressions and replied on their behalf, "We don't want to embarrass everyone either. Advisor Miao, you should complain to the Palace Lord. We will accept the Palace Lord's punishment." In other words, who do you think you are?
"It's just a small matter. Why bother the Palace Lord? Since none of you are willing to offer your Orbs of Will as compensation, then I have no choice but to use another method to settle this. "Miao Yi sneered," You brought this upon yourselves. Don't blame me. "
Ma Weihan replied with an 'oh', then asked in disdain, "Advisor Miao, how do you intend to resolve this?"
Miao Yi looked around the waiting room, then turned around and said, "This place is too small. Don't ruin the Palace Lord's waiting room. If you have the guts, then stop hiding. Come out!" He had already taken to the air, so Ximen Yan had no choice but to follow.
The others exchanged glances. Ma Weihan chuckled, "Someone asked for it. What do you all think?"
Luo Mingguang said, "We tried to resolve this peacefully, but he refused to let it go. Since he asked for it, the Palace Lord can't blame us if anything happens."
"You're right!" Lu Yunke had already rushed out of the back room.
Without another word, Ma Weihan and the others also dashed out one after the other. Their footsteps were swishing as they chased after the direction Miao Yi had flown off in.
"Everyone, how can we miss such a good show? Why don't we all watch from the sidelines?" Someone smiled and called out. One figure after another flew out, and the waiting room was empty in the blink of an eye.
'Something bad is going to happen!' The palace maid guarding the door immediately lifted her skirt and ran to report.
After flying out of Wood Traversing Palace, Miao Yi deliberately found a relatively flat piece of wilderness outside the palace and landed on a small mound to wait.
They didn't have to wait too long. Ma Weihan and the others had already landed in a row, waiting coldly.
Soon after, another group of people landed not far away to watch the show. It was indeed not a good idea to miss such a show.
Xiao Yecheng asked, "I wonder how Advisor Miao intends to resolve this matter by bringing us here?"
"Why do you ask when you already know the answer? Can't you do anything else other than feigning ignorance?" With a flick of his fingers, the Qilin Spear appeared in his hand. Black mist poured out from his storage ring, and in an instant, he was clad in battle armor. Then, he raised the spear and poked Ximen Yan's chest, saying, "This has nothing to do with you. Step aside and watch."
Ximen Yan was a little hesitant. They were about to start, was it appropriate for her to retreat at this time? But even if he didn't leave, it would still be difficult!
"Stand down!" Miao Yi suddenly shouted.
Ximen Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and retreat. She saw Miao Yi pointing his spear at Ma Weihan and the rest with one arm, "Don't say that I'm not merciful. I'll give you all one last chance. Eighteen of you, hand over a hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will each as a sign of your sincerity as an apology. Then I'll pretend that nothing happened."
Xiao Yecheng immediately retorted, "So what if we don't hand it over?"
Miao Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "If you don't hand it over, then I'll behead you bunch of traitors in accordance with the rules of Righteous Wood Palace!"
Ma Weihan immediately shouted to the crowd, "Everyone heard that. You must bear witness to this in front of the Palace Lord later. Advisor Miao is forcing us!"
Someone immediately jeered, "We're not blind. We're all watching. If you want to resolve this, then hurry up. If you don't, then go back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Advisors and the Palace Lord are alerted, then we won't be able to continue playing."
This reminder was spot on. The old men had long since disliked this newcomer, Miao Yi. 'What the hell? He's only at the Red Lotus First Grade, and yet he's already carrying two Advisors. Does he think we're just decorations? It's fine if he's just a Hall Master, but the Palace Lord is going a little too far. It's enough to chill the old officials. '
The six of them took out their weapons one by one, and the twelve behind them followed suit. Those with battle armor instantly donned it as well.
They were all experienced fighters. Bickering was just bickering, but seeing how confident Miao Yi was, no one would joke around with their lives. Their expressions turned cold.
Miao Yi pointed his spear at them and coldly said, "Don't say that I'm bullying the weak. Come at me together!"
His words made them laugh. 'Bullying the weak? Bullying the weak? Do you really think you're an Advisor? '
"Since Advisor Miao wants to play, then we'll play along. However, we're not used to bullying the weak with numbers!" Ma Weihan replied. He then turned around and signaled to one of his Advisors.
It was the same principle. Seeing how confident Miao Yi was, he didn't dare to be careless. He first sent one of his subordinates to test Miao Yi's strength.
"Huang Lin will accompany Advisor Miao for a bit!" A person flashed out from behind Ma Weihan. With a swoosh, a long axe glowing with blue light slashed down from the sky.
Miao Yi glanced at the Red Lotus of the First Grade on his opponent's forehead. The Red Lotus on his own forehead instantly appeared as well. Seeing the opponent's long axe coming at him, he raised his spear with one arm and deflected it.
'Swoosh!' With a cold look in his eyes, Miao Yi took advantage of the situation and stabbed out with his spear. The roar of a dragon resounded. The spear in his hands had already reached perfection.
The speed of the spear shocked Huang Lin. He couldn't dodge it, so he quickly reached out to grab it.
'Bang!' He managed to grab the spear shaft, but his neck was struck by the spear as well. An explosive force immediately burst his neck open, sending his head flying.
Miao Yi retracted his spear with one arm. The sharp tip of the spear hooked onto the opponent's shoulder and pulled back the headless corpse that was about to fly away. With a wave of his free hand, he instantly stored it into his storage ring.
The sharp tip of the spear was pointed at Ma Weihan. He still held the spear with one arm, and didn't move an inch from his original position. Judging from Miao Yi's demeanor, it seemed like he didn't even need to use two hands to kill Huang Lin. One arm was enough.
That aura of killing with such ease caused the scene to fall silent. Only then did someone remember that this bastard had come from the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. He wasn't one to be scared.
Ximen Yan's face twitched. 'This Hall Master is really merciless. He's really going to kill him!'
"I'll write off his debt!" Miao Yi pointed his spear at the crowd and said calmly, "Come at me all at once. I don't have the time to waste with you all! In the battle with the Sun Traversing Palace, I personally slaughtered nearly thirty Red Lotus cultivators. I killed at least half of the Sun Traversing Palace's Red Lotus cultivators by myself. I don't think any of you are that strong. If you come at me one by one, I won't be able to kill you all. Come! Don't try to act tough with your words. Show me what you're really capable of. Let me see what gives you the right to spout nonsense! "
As soon as he said this, the crowd was shocked. 'What? He single-handedly killed nearly thirty Red Lotus cultivators from the Sun Traversing Palace? '
No one had mentioned this before. The reason why Traversing Water Palace didn't mention it was because they wanted to instill fear into the hearts of the others. Today, Miao Yi was the one who revealed it himself. Miao Yi wasn't prepared to help those bastards from Traversing Water Palace any longer. If word of this got out, it would be good to let those ungrateful bastards from Traversing Water Palace know what they were worth. They wouldn't think that they could act all high and mighty just because they fought a single battle.
There were some things that people might not believe even if you told them first. They might even mock and ridicule you. Miao Yi decided not to tell them at the start. He wanted to kill one person first to establish his dominance. This way, it would be easier for everyone to accept it. At the same time, he wanted to let those who hadn't participated in the battle know that he wasn't just for show.
The Sun Traversing Palace's strength was indeed not much weaker than the Wood Traversing Palace's. Ma Weihan and the others didn't know whether Miao Yi was telling the truth or not, but they guessed that it couldn't be. They would know once they verified this matter with Traversing Water Palace. If he was lying, wouldn't that be the same as slapping their own faces?
At this moment, Ma Weihan and the others felt a chill run down their spines. No wonder this bastard was so confident and didn't care about them at all. Unfortunately, they were in a difficult position now. They couldn't afford to lose face if they backed out of the battle.
'Is this for real?' Ximen Yan sucked in a breath of cold air. 'He killed nearly thirty Red Lotus cultivators all by himself?'
In the forest not too far away, Cheng Aofang, Zhuang Youwen, Bo Yan, and Shang Liuhuan were watching from the shadows. They exchanged glances when they heard Miao Yi's words.
Miao Yi pointed his spear at Ma Weihan once again and said, "Ma Weihan, what kind of ability is it to send your subordinates to their deaths? The 'Miao traitor' you mentioned is here. Hurry up and kill him! "
Hu Zifen laughed and said, "Advisor Miao, we are all comrades who serve the Palace Lord. Don't push things too far."
"Now you know we're comrades? It's too late! "Miao Yi suddenly shouted. He dashed forward with his spear raised, charging straight at the group of people.
Miao Yi's demeanor made it seem as though he was treating the other party like grass. He killed them without hesitation, showing them no mercy at all!
Ma Weihan and the others gritted their teeth and were about to join forces to retaliate. However, they didn't have a choice. They were already in a difficult position!
"Stop!" Cheng Aofang's fierce shout suddenly rang out.
Miao Yi's figure had no choice but to stop abruptly. He tilted his head and saw Cheng Aofang leading three Advisors out of the forest not too far away, landing between the two parties.
"How dare you fight and kill right under my nose!" Cheng Aofang coldly glared at the others.
She originally wanted to see what Miao Yi was capable of, but after hearing his words, she didn't dare to take the risk anymore. The two palaces were already short on manpower. If this bastard really managed to kill off ten or twenty of her old subordinates in one go, then where would she be able to find more manpower in such a short time?
Bo Yan and the others looked at Ma Weihan and the others, then shouted, "Why aren't you putting away your weapons?"
Ma Weihan and the others secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They finally found a way out of this predicament, and quickly put away the weapons in their hands.
Cheng Aofang glanced at the weapons in Miao Yi's hands and said, "Advisor Miao, do you still want to continue killing in front of me?"
Miao Yi could only put away his weapons.
Cheng Aofang looked at the crowd and scoffed. She then turned around and led Zhuang Youwen and the others away.
Ma Weihan and the others were about to leave as well, but Miao Yi suddenly said, "Wait! Everyone, you want to leave without even apologizing? "
Ma Weihan and the others looked at each other and communicated with each other via voice transmission. Then, they cupped their fists and said, "We were the ones who have offended you. Please forgive us, Advisor Miao!"
Miao Yi pulled out Huang Lin's corpse in front of everyone, stripped it of everything useful and put it away. Then, he casually tossed the corpse in front of the crowd. "How can a subordinate offending his superior be resolved with such half-hearted words? We still need to show our sincerity in apologizing, and pay the Orbs of Will that should be paid. Since this guy is already dead, I won't pursue this matter any further. As for the remaining seventeen of you who are still alive, each of you will receive two hundred thousand low-grade Orbs of Will. Not a single one less! "
'Whoa! It's doubled again! ' The onlookers looked at each other in dismay.
Xiao Yecheng said in a low voice, "Advisor Miao, don't go overboard! You killed someone, and we didn't hold it against you for the sake of the Palace Lord. How dare you push your luck! "
