After returning from a long journey, Miao Yi descended from the sky into the Suppressing Ninth Hall harem. Qian'Er and Xue'Er welcomed him, "Milord!"
Miao Yi casually tossed out an unconscious person. Cheng Yingwu fell to the ground, and Miao Yi walked into a nearby pavilion to take a seat, then nodded in acknowledgment.
Xue'Er walked up and untied the chains binding Cheng Yingwu, unsealing her senses as well.
Not long after, Cheng Yingwu slowly regained consciousness. Her body was extremely weak. When she saw Miao Yi sipping on a cup of tea in the pavilion, she staggered to her feet and looked around. She realized that she was in an unfamiliar environment. Flowing Clouds Dune Sea couldn't possibly be surrounded by lush forests.
"Where is this? What do you want? "Cheng Yingwu's face was pale, and her body was extremely weak. She was only holding on by relying on her transcendence energy.
Miao Yi put down his teacup and said, "It doesn't matter where we are. What's important is that I won't kill you for now. I've already sent a letter to Head Master Cheng. I believe it won't be long before your father comes to save you."
Cheng Yingwu couldn't tell if she was shocked or happy at this.
Just then, Yan Xiu rushed over. Miao Yi pointed at Cheng Yingwu and said, "Give her a broom. She'll stay in the palace to sweep from now on. Pass down the order. If she doesn't do her job properly, whip her. If she dares to run away, chop off her legs. "
"Understood!" Yan Xiu acknowledged the order and immediately pushed the stumbling Cheng Yingwu away.
If this woman said that she didn't know what was good for her, then she really didn't know what was good for her. After resting for a few days, she obediently carried a broom out to sweep the floor. All the useful things on her had been confiscated, so she had no choice but to be obedient. Since her father would come to save her, she was prepared to endure the humiliation. It wasn't worth it to lose her life now.
However, when she saw the other two 'colleagues' sweeping the floor, she felt a chill run down her spine. She actually chopped off their arms and made them sweep the floor …
Half a month later, two figures flew over and landed outside the mountain gates of Suppressing Ninth Hall. One was an old man with white hair tied into a ponytail, and the other was a voluptuous woman dressed in a flowery dress. They were none other than the Head Master of the Hive Gang, Cheng Yaowei, and his wife, Wu Qunfang.
The couple exchanged glances as they stared at the majestic palace on top of the mountain. They couldn't understand how their daughter had ended up in the hands of that infamous Miao traitor.
"Who are you?" The cultivator guarding the mountain gate, Zhou Liqin, bellowed. Even though he could see that one of the opponents was a Purple Lotus cultivator, Zhou Liqin was still full of confidence. He wasn't the least bit afraid. Our Hall Master is the deacon of Jade Capital Peak's Golden Hall. Even most Purple Lotus cultivators would have to politely greet him.
Cheng Yaowei said calmly, "Please inform Hall Master Miao Yi that Cheng Yaowei is here to pay a visit!"
"You are Cheng Yaowei?" Qian Zifeng sized him up.
"That's right!" Cheng Yaowei's face was filled with arrogance. He thought that his reputation had already spread here.
"Then there's no need to report. The higher-ups have said that you can directly go and have an audience with them. Who is this? "Qian Zifeng looked at Wu Qunfang.
"My wife, Wu Qunfang!" Cheng Yaowei replied lightly.
Qian Zifeng pointed at the palace at the top of the mountain. "Both of you, please report to the outside of the palace."
The couple immediately flew up and landed outside the palace gates. As they looked around, they couldn't help but inwardly praise the beautiful scenery. It was truly a beautiful place. It was rare to see such a scene in the desert. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this was a paradise on earth. Unfortunately, all the good places were occupied by the officials of the Six Nations. They couldn't get their turn.
After introducing themselves, the guard turned around and called for a palace maid. She then led the couple into the palace.
As soon as they entered the palace, the two of them immediately noticed Cheng Yingwu. They were stunned to see their daughter sweeping the floor. Wu Qunfang then called out, "Yingwu."
Cheng Yingwu saw them as well. She tossed her broom aside and quickly ran over. However, someone abruptly descended from the sky. It was an Advisor who was guarding the forbidden palace, staring coldly at Cheng Yingwu.
Cheng Yingwu stopped in her tracks and looked at her parents.
The palace maid in front stopped and turned around. She gently said, "Please come with me, both of you."
Wu Qunfang called out, "Yingwu, are you alright?"
"Mother, I'm fine," Cheng Yingwu replied, shaking her head.
"Let's pay a visit to Hall Master Miao first." Seeing that his daughter was fine, Cheng Yaowei urged his wife.
He didn't dare to act rashly before getting to the bottom of the matter here. That traitor Miao was quite famous. Naturally, rumors about him had spread all over Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. Not only did this traitor Miao hold two Halls, but he was also the Advisor of Traversing Wood Palace and the Deacon of the Golden Hall of Jade Capital Peak of the Fifth Earthly Branch.
Just like that, the family of three parted ways. Under the Advisor's coercion, Cheng Yingwu obediently walked back to pick up her broom and continued with her work.
Cheng Yaowu and his wife were led into the Fragrance Retention Garden to wait for the time being. The scenery inside the garden was breathtaking. Wu Qunfang transmitted her voice over, "This place sure is luxurious."
Cheng Yaowu scoffed and replied, "I wonder how many craftsmen were used to build this place. It's all the blood and sweat of the people!"
They didn't have to wait long before Miao Yi arrived with Yan Xiu and two handmaidens.
As soon as Miao Yi walked into the pavilion, the couple was stunned. Cheng Yaowu frowned and asked, "Yan Beihong?"
"First Master, everything you've heard is just a rumor. I am Miao Yi!"
The couple was immediately confused. Miao Yi then extended his hand and invited them to sit down. "Let's sit down and talk!" Miao Yi sat down first, then smiled as he watched the couple take their seats. "I didn't expect Madam Cheng to be here as well."
Wu Qunfang cupped her fists and asked, "Hall Master Miao, may I know why you've captured my daughter? Could it be that you're still hung up on what happened in the past? "
Miao Yi chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I would like to ask the two of you a question. I released your daughter back then, and you still owe me a favor. Why does your daughter still want to make life difficult for me? She's quite bold. Not only does she want to kill me, she even wants me to kneel down and call her 'Great Aunt'. How arrogant! I would like to ask the two of you why she's doing this. "
As soon as Miao Yi said this, Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and Yan Xiu immediately glared at the couple.
The couple exchanged glances. They didn't seem to believe him.
Miao Yi could tell that they didn't believe him. He tilted his head and said, "Bring Cheng Yingwu here. Let her tell her parents what's going on herself. I don't want them to say that I'm purposely causing trouble for her."
Yan Xiu quickly left, and soon returned with Cheng Yingwu.
Miao Yi picked up his teacup and slowly said, "Cheng Yingwu, how did you end up in my hands? You should tell your parents yourself."
Cheng Yaowei asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" Since the other party dared to confront him like this, he already believed that his daughter was courting death.
Cheng Yingwu immediately explained the situation to Miao Yi. However, she left out some details, and only said that Miao Yi was the one who killed her subordinates first.
Naturally, Miao Yi would remind her on her behalf. "Miss Cheng, please be honest with your words. When I emerged from the sea, it was purely a coincidence that I bumped into you. Since you suddenly attacked me, I naturally had to defend myself. I also warned you repeatedly that I didn't want to hold it against you, and that you were no match for me. When you used your transcendent artifact to trap me, I even said that I would give you a chance to stop. Who would've thought that not only would you not stop, you even became even more aggressive? You wanted me to kneel down and call you 'Great Aunt'? How could I accept such humiliation? I had no choice but to teach you a lesson. If it weren't for Head Chieftain Cheng, would you still be alive right now? Miss Cheng, why didn't you mention all of this? "
It was only now that Yan Xiu and the others realized that Miao Yi had gone to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea again. They wondered where Miao Yi had gone off to.
Wu Qunfang stared at her daughter and asked, "Is that true?"
Cheng Yingwu pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
What were desert bandits for? Their job was to kill and rob people. Even if she had no grudge against Miao Yi, she wouldn't let him go. As long as she was confident, she would not let it go. It was just that she was unlucky to bump into a tough opponent.
Cheng Yaowei and his wife were naturally aware of this, and they didn't think that their daughter had done anything wrong. Cheng Yaowei cupped his fists and said, "Hall Master Miao. Since you've spared my daughter's life, I'm sure you have other plans in mind. May I know how Hall Master Miao intends to resolve this matter?"
Miao Yi asked, "Including the last time, this is already the second time. How does Head Chieftain intend to resolve this?"
Cheng Yaowei replied, "We admit defeat. State your price, Hall Master Miao. "
"I don't want the money." Miao Yi smiled faintly and said, "If I remember correctly, Head Chieftain once said that you had six wives and over twenty children in your lifetime. In the end, only five or six of them died. Among them, two of the wives and four of the daughters were brutally murdered after being raped. Some of the corpses were even stripped naked and thrown in front of Head Chieftain, but Head Chieftain didn't back down even half a step. I understand that Head Chieftain isn't one to be threatened, so I'm not going to threaten Head Chieftain either … "
He suddenly changed the topic. He turned to Wu Qunfang and asked, "Madam Cheng, how does this place compare to the environment in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea?"
Wu Qunfang was taken aback. She didn't know what he meant by this sudden question, but she nodded and praised, "Of course Flowing Clouds Dune Sea can't be compared to this place. The difference is like the difference between heaven and earth. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call this place a paradise on earth."
Miao Yi nodded and said, "It's good that Madam Cheng likes it. All women love to look beautiful. A place like Flowing Clouds Dune Sea is indeed not suitable for women to stay for long. How about this? I still lack two janitors in my palace. Since Madam likes it here, why don't you and your daughter stay here together? I will definitely not mistreat you. Head Chieftain can come visit whenever you're free. "
The expressions on the faces of the family of three instantly changed. Cheng Yaowei abruptly stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Hall Master Miao. What do you mean by this?"
Miao Yi calmly replied, "I've already made myself very clear. Don't tell me Head Chieftain still doesn't understand? Or do you want to stay here as well, and wait for me to invite your remaining children over? "
What 'invite'? Anyone with the slightest understanding of the situation would know that Miao Yi was planning to take them hostage, and then lure his other children over to capture them all in one fell swoop.
Cheng Yaowei said, "Hall Master Miao. I came here with sincerity to resolve this matter. If you insist on forcing my hand, then I will have no choice but to take my men and leave. I'm afraid your men here won't be able to stop me. Once I return to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, I'm afraid Hall Master Miao won't be able to do anything to me. Since I dared to come here, I've already made my preparations! "
Miao Yi said, "Head Chieftain. Even if you're a dragon in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, you can only curl up when you're in my territory. It's not your place to bare your fangs and brandish your claws in front of me. I hope that we can still resolve this matter peacefully. If you insist on using your Purple Lotus cultivation to fight and kill, I can summon a bunch of Purple Lotus cultivators to accompany you at any time. "As he finished, he clapped his hands together.
Peng Yu's laughter could be heard, and he immediately flew into the pavilion. A Seventh Grade Purple Lotus appeared on his forehead, and his cultivation was far stronger than Cheng Yaowei's.
Miao Yi stood up as well, and introduced, "This is the Sect Master of the Sect of the Three Founders. If Head Chieftain thinks it's too few, I still have a dozen or so Sect Masters in my palace drinking tea. They can come and entertain you at any time. You can pick whichever one you want to fight!"
Cheng Yaowei angrily said, "Hall Master Miao is so powerful. Why must you make things difficult for me? What good would it do you to keep my wife and daughter? "
