He wanted to talk about the Basic Immortal Pills, but Fu Qing just had to ask about the token. "Did Huang Qingtian really beat you up like this because of our token?"
"Hah! Huang Qingtian didn't do anything and just watched from the side. It was his Steward Qiu Li and the others who did it. However, it was Huang Qingtian's idea. Even when An Zhengfeng pleaded on my behalf, it was useless. Guess what Huang Qingtian said? "
Fu Qing asked, "What did he say?"
Miao Yi said, "He said that in this place, I can let whoever I want live or die. Whoever I don't want to leave, they can't. Even Manager An Zhengfeng couldn't do anything to him. "
"How arrogant!" Fu Qing raised his brows. "Kid, you can't just say things like that. Do you know the consequences of lying to us?"
Miao Yi laughed. "I say, Senior, do you think you can lie to them? Whether the token is in their hands or not, and whether they said that or not, we'll know once we confront them. Do I still need to say anything? "
This sentence was the truth, and there was no reason to doubt it! The suspicions in Fu Qing's heart completely disappeared, and his old face gradually darkened. He chuckled and said, "It seems that Huang Qingtian and Wu Duo have been dealing with the Six Sages for too long. Their standards are too high, and they can't tolerate us old fellows. Well, us old fogies have been holed up in the Sea of Constellations for too long. It's only natural that others look down on us. "
Miao Yi comforted him. "Senior, don't think too much about it. You really don't have to be afraid of them. I know that the people of the Sea of Constellations are being suppressed by the Six Sages, so before I came here, I've already gathered a large number of people to the Sea of Constellations to support you. I believe that all of you know each other. You can go out and beg them to return the materials used to concoct the Basic Immortal Pill to us. I think they just want you to lower your heads at most. They won't go to the extent of fighting you to the death. Senior, forgive me for being blunt. Face is not worth much. As long as we have the Basic Immortal Pills, when our cultivation increases, it will be easy to avenge our past humiliation in the future. A gentleman can wait a hundred thousand years for revenge. Let's see who has the last laugh! "
"Beg them? Haha … "Fu Qing suddenly threw his head back and laughed maniacally, causing the entire hall to buzz. She turned to Miao Yi and said, "We still need to trouble you to invite people to support us. What kind of people did you invite?"
Miao Yi said proudly, "They are all cultivators at the Red Lotus realm and above. There are also cultivators from some sects in the Celestial Nation, as well as my subordinates. After all, I haven't spent all these years in the Celestial Nation for nothing. "
Qing Feng snorted disdainfully. "Who do you think you are? Do you think those things are worthy of us?"
Miao Yi said, "Envoy Qing, you can't say that. Keeping up appearances isn't for us to fight and kill. Didn't I come here to invite Senior Fu to come out of seclusion to keep up appearances as well? Our main goal is to retrieve the item, not to risk our lives. But don't worry, I've already prepared people who can fight. I've found a Golden Lotus cultivator to help me. If there are any accidents, let him do the fighting. He won't cause any trouble for you. "
Qing Feng nodded and asked, "May I know who the master is?"
Miao Yi said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if they're strong or not. Even though they're not as strong as you guys, it's enough that they're willing to help."
Qing Feng looked at Fu Qing. Fu Qing slowly closed his eyes, then said in a low voice, "Qing Feng, go to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea with Li Feng and check out the situation. If it's true … Huang Qingtian and Wu Duo are playing a balancing act between the Six Sages. We won't fall for their tricks. Let's see how strong they are. Don't hold back! "
"Understood!" Qing Feng cupped his fists and accepted the order. He then extended his hand to Miao Yi and said, "Let's go!"
"Wait!" Miao Yi was startled. "What's the point of sending Envoy Li and Envoy Qing? As far as I know, Huang Qingtian and Wu Duo's cultivation have already reached the Golden Lotus Third Grade. I heard that they're on par with you, Senior. If Senior doesn't go personally, won't we be making a wasted trip? "
"There's no need for me to personally deal with those two!" Fu Qing walked back to his original spot and sat down cross-legged. He then said in a low voice, "Qing Feng. Before we go, take this kid to Big Brother, Little Sister, and Little Sister. Ask them what they think. "
"Understood!" Qing Feng extended his hand to Miao Yi again and said, "Let's go!"
"If Senior Fu doesn't go personally, can you guys do it?" Miao Yi muttered. If he were to return empty-handed after spending so much effort, then he'd really be shooting himself in the foot.
Qing Feng didn't waste any more time on him. He grabbed Miao Yi's arm and dragged him out.
"Be gentle, be gentle. My arm is still broken." Miao Yi screamed as he was dragged out.
The fifteen-zhang-tall gate of the ancient palace automatically closed with a buzzing sound.
Qing Feng turned to look at the tightly shut gates, his expression gradually tensing up. He then brought Miao Yi to the front palace and left him outside a hall. Then, he went to look for Envoy Li Feng, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the Western Star Sea.
Not long after, Li Feng came out with a gloomy expression on his face.
The two of them wrapped Miao Yi up and took to the skies. Miao Yi shouted, "Big Brother Yan!"
At the edge of the cliff outside the palace, Yan Beihong looked back and quickly chased after them …
Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, sand castle.
Huang Qingtian was tall and skinny, while Wu Duo was short and plump. The two old men walked side by side, and together, they turned into a tunnel beneath the sand castle.
As soon as they entered the underground space, they smelled the stench of blood, and saw Head Steward Qiu waiting inside.
"Qiu Li, what's the matter?" Wu Duo asked with a frown.
He was in the middle of cultivating in seclusion, but Head Steward Qiu had sent someone to invite the two Fort Lords over.
Huang Qingtian sniffed the scent of blood in the air. His gaze fell on the pools of blood on the ground and the two corpses wrapped in frost. There were also a few weapons that had been cut off. He then looked at the messy deep scratches on the stone wall.
"Second Master, Fourth Master, look at this." Head Steward Qiu cupped his fists, then pointed to a monster with sharp teeth and claws tied to a bronze pillar.
Actually, there was no need for the reminder. Their gazes had already fallen on the struggling monster. They walked up to the pillar and realized that if it weren't for the monster's constant struggle, they would have thought that it was made of metal. Its entire body glowed with a strange metallic luster, and it exuded a ferocious aura.
"This is …" The two circled the pig-sized monster twice. Wu Duo was a little shocked. "This is a mantis? Heavens! This is the first time I've seen a mantis grow this big. Second Brother, have you ever seen a mantis this big? "
Huang Qingtian stared at it carefully, then shook his head slightly. "No. Why does it look a little like the Hell Mantis from the Boundless Secular World?"
Wu Duo shook his head. "I don't think so. Hell Mantises are dark in color, not this color. Besides, Hell Mantises can't leave the Boundless Secular World." He reached out to touch it.
Qiu Li immediately shouted, "Be careful, Fourth Master!"
Wu Duo's outstretched hand froze, and the two turned to look at Qiu Li. The latter waved his hand and said, "You must be careful, Fourth Master. This mantis's claws and teeth are so sharp that they are rarely seen in this world." He then pointed at the corpse on the ground. "And it's incredibly strong. Its speed is comparable to a Purple Lotus cultivator's, and its body is also extraordinarily tough. Two Purple Lotus cultivators were actually killed by it as they fought it. The two Second Grade weapons that were used for testing were also sliced in half as easily as if they were made of mud. What's even more strange is that its attacks actually carried an extremely cold aura. Those who were hit were immediately frozen like this. I tied it up in places that avoided its claws and teeth. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to bind it at all. "
Wu Duo was shocked. He quickly retracted his outstretched hand and clicked his tongue in wonder. "There's actually such a strange thing?"
Huang Qingtian asked, "Qiu Li, where did you get this monster?"
Head Steward Qiu replied, "It's from that Miao traitor's storage ring. There are fifteen of them. I wonder where he got them from." As he said this, he took out Miao Yi's storage ring for them to inspect. He had already emptied out everything inside.
At his position, as long as it wasn't something that his superiors had ordered him to do, he didn't have to hand it over. The items inside Miao Yi's storage ring were extremely valuable. Naturally, he had to clear them out and put them away. Otherwise, if the two Fort Lords were to see them, they would probably split the loot.
Some things were just like that. If you didn't see it, you wouldn't think much of it. But once you saw it, and it was worth a lot, you wouldn't be able to excuse yourself if you didn't take the initiative.
After Miao Yi and the others left the sandcastle, Qiu Li couldn't help but go through the items inside Miao Yi's storage ring. Even though most of Miao Yi's belongings were with Qian'Er and Xue'Er, there were still quite a few things inside. There were quite a few Five Level Crystals alone. To Head Steward Qiu, this was a huge fortune.
However, before he could go through the items, his attention was drawn to the sleeping mantises inside the storage ring.
There were fifteen mantises the size of pigs. It would be difficult not to notice them. Naturally, he had to summon one out to take a look. However, as soon as the mantises were summoned out of the storage ring, they immediately woke up and tried to fly away. Chief Steward Qiu naturally tried to stop it, but this thing was extremely ferocious. Chief Steward Qiu was caught off guard and almost fell for it.
After capturing the mantis, Miao Yi spent the next few days trying to figure out what kind of monster it was. He even found two Purple Lotus cultivators to test it out on. Holy crap, they were actually killed by this monster.
Such a thing. Naturally, he wanted to control his own use. He was also a demon, so he had some experience in controlling demons. However, in the end, he realized that it was useless. He just couldn't control them, and it would be a pity to kill them. He had no choice but to invite the two Castle Lords to share it with him.
After the two Castle Lords saw the fourteen sleeping mantises inside, they glanced at each other. Huang Qingtian cast a spell and summoned one out.
Just as Qiu Li said, the praying mantis woke up as soon as it came out. It didn't fly away in a hurry. Instead, it flew towards the tied praying mantis, lay on the pillar, and bit the metal chain that tied the other praying mantis.
Wu Duo controlled his strength and tapped with his finger. Bang! An invisible force struck the back of the mantis that had just flown out.
A faint green light appeared in the mantis's eyes. Swoosh! It instantly appeared in front of Wu Duo and swung its scythe at him. It was extremely ferocious.
Swoosh! Wu Duo instantly shifted his position and grabbed the back of the mantis's neck from behind. The mantis's sharp claws couldn't do anything to him because it couldn't reach him.
Wu Duo nodded at Huang Qingtian and said, "It's strong indeed!"
Huang Qingtian immediately released one to test it out. After capturing it, he also nodded and said, "What a good thing."
He then turned to ask Chief Steward Qiu, "Did you find a way to control them?"
Qiu Li shook his head and said, "No. I only know that they will immediately fall into a state of hibernation as soon as they are put into a storage ring. It's rare for them to be able to survive in a storage ring."
The two Castle Lords immediately gave it a try and found that it was indeed the case. Huang Qingtian said, "Let's take them and study them."
Without another word, the two of them each took six mantises and left, leaving the remaining three for Qiu Li.
