Qing Feng acknowledged and left to do as he was told.
"Old Five, what is it?" Fu Qing turned back and asked.
But no matter how many times he asked, Miao Yi wouldn't answer. He let Fu Qing guess at his own pace. He took out an immortal apricot and slowly munched on it, then sat down to cultivate.
The next morning, as the sun rose over the blue sea, the others arrived one after another. The first thing they asked was, "What is it?" Miao Yi didn't answer.
When everyone was present, Fu Qing asked, "Old Five, everyone is here. Can we talk now?"
"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, I'm going to take you guys to watch a good show. I wonder if you're interested?" Miao Yi asked.
Xiong Wei frowned. "What good show? Where to watch? "
"Allow me to keep you guys in suspense for now. I'll give you guys a surprise later." He was really keeping them in suspense, not just for show. Miao Yi wanted to shut them up first.
As he said this, Miao Yi took out the Star Bell and invoked his arts to ring it.
The four old monsters immediately stared at the bell in his hand. They'd seen Miao Yi use this when he robbed the Spirit Island in the higher realm. Now he was using it again. Could this trip have something to do with the higher realm?
Soon, the bell in Miao Yi's hand began to ring. Qian'Er had returned with news.
After reading the message, Miao Yi rang the bell rhythmically and sent a message to Qian'Er, telling her, Xue'er, Yan Xiu, Yang Zhaoqing, Yao Ruoxian, and Dong Guoli to go to the Buddha Nation to look for Ba Jie. If they ran into any trouble, Ba Jie was to look for Grandmaster Seven Abstinences to ensure their safety.
Qian'Er quickly replied, asking what had happened.
Miao Yi invoked his arts and shook the bell, telling her not to ask too much. She would know when the time came!
After putting the bell away, Miao Yi sighed in his heart. Before coming here, he was only thinking about how to solve the problem, but he neglected the safety of Qian'Er and the others. This time, he had to go all out. If he caused trouble, he might drag Qian'Er and the others back in the Celestial Nation.
Initially, he wanted to bring them to the Sea of Constellations, but he wasn't sure how they would react. The reason why the four old demons became sworn brothers with him was because they wanted to make use of him. After thinking about it for a long time, they realized that there was nowhere else they could go. The great world was a good place to go, but they had just robbed something from the Celestial Court. He was afraid that the Celestial Court was investigating everywhere. It might not be appropriate for him to go there now. Furthermore, there was a delay in the time it took for him to go back and forth. By the time he returned after sending the person there, it would be too late.
He thought about it repeatedly. If something were to happen, the only reliable ones would be Second Brother and Ba Jie. Ba Jie's master, Grandmaster Seven Abstinences, had quite a reputation in the cultivation world. It shouldn't be a problem for him to protect Qian'Er and the others. There shouldn't be anyone who would go against Grandmaster Seven Abstinences for the sake of a few minor characters.
The Invincible Eagle came over and asked, "Second brother, what is this bell? We're all sworn brothers now. You don't have to hide it from us, do you? "
"Bell! It's called the Star Bell, and it's a communication transcendent artifact of the higher realms … "Miao Yi explained the uses of the Star Bell.
The eyes of the few old monsters immediately lit up. Xiong Wei praised, "It can communicate no matter how far away it is. What a great treasure."
"There's no rush. If there's a chance, I'll get a few for my brothers as well." Miao Yi chuckled. He was just being polite. The Star Bell didn't look like much, but it was extremely expensive. Miao Yi only found out about it after he went to the Celestial Avenue to understand the market. It really wasn't something that just anyone could afford. Now that he thought about it, he realized that the Sorcerer was quite generous. However, to him, it only served to prove that the Sorcerer had made a fortune on the Netherdragon Ship.
Seeing how tempted they were, Miao Yi hurriedly changed the topic. He cupped his fists and said, "My four brothers, it's time for us to move out."
Hong Tian let out a sigh. He said helplessly, "Old Five, where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there." Miao Yi continued to keep it a secret and dragged them away.
The group left the Western Constellations Palace and quickly flew across the sky.
Naturally, the four old monsters were no strangers to the locations of the lesser realms. Halfway there, Fu Qing looked in the direction Miao Yi was heading and asked, "Old Five, you're not taking us to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, are you?"
"Second Brother is indeed wise." Miao Yi praised, as if admitting it.
Fu Qing asked curiously, "What's so interesting about Flowing Clouds Dune Sea? Could it be the Netherdragon Ship? "
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the four old monsters lit up. That was quite possible. Miao Yi was familiar with the Sorcerer Walker, and the Sorcerer Walker was most likely the one who understood the Netherdragon Ship the most. The two previous appearances of the Netherdragon Ship were both related to the Sorcerer Walker. The four old monsters were instantly filled with anticipation.
Miao Yi didn't answer. He simply said, "You'll know when we get there."
The four old monsters shook their heads at his words. They could only patiently wait for the answer to be revealed. However, Invincible Eagle spoke up, "Speaking of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, there's quite the commotion. I heard that Yun Aotian has released Feng Beichen's precious grandson, who has been locked up for tens of thousands of years. It seems that grandson is going to officially marry Yun Aotian's granddaughter. Have you guys heard about this?"
Hong Tian nodded. "I have. It seems like Yun Aotian still can't convince his precious granddaughter! Are these two clans preparing to form an alliance? If they form an alliance, the other clans will probably have to be on edge. "
Xiong Wei scoffed, "Whether they form an alliance or not, it doesn't matter. It's just a dog-eat-dog situation. Why should we care?"
Miao Yi didn't say a word. His face was completely expressionless …
When they arrived at the borders of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, they landed in a deserted area. Looking around at the desolate surroundings, Hong Tian asked, "Ol 'Five, what are we doing here?"
"Big Brothers, please disguise yourselves here first to avoid being recognized." Miao Yi said, then took out his own mask and put it on.
The four Hosts looked at each other speechlessly. They didn't know what this guy was trying to do either. He was keeping them in suspense … They could only observe as they walked, and slowly took out their own items to disguise themselves.
"Big Brothers, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon." Miao Yi said, then took to the skies by himself.
As he neared the edge of Flowing Clouds Dune Sea's core zone, Miao Yi landed in a grove of a dozen coconut trees. He rapped on one of the tree trunks with his knuckles.
About ten feet away, the sand on the ground was stirred up, and a plank was lifted up, revealing a pitch-black cave entrance. Miao Yi darted in, heading straight for the nest deep within the tunnel.
Miao Yi was no stranger to the Hive Gang's base in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. He knew exactly where their nest was.
The Hive Gang's affairs were giving Yang Qing a headache. It was no longer a secret that the Hive Gang had colluded with the Celestial Nation's officials. It was no longer justifiable for them to continue robbing people. Once something happened, they would go straight to the Celestial Nation's officials. However, he couldn't afford to keep so many people for nothing.
When Miao Yi returned to the two Halls, Yang Qing suggested that he cut ties with the Hive Gang. However, Miao Yi didn't agree. He ordered the Hive Gang to continue robbing people in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, but not under the Hive Gang's banner. They would continue to be desert bandits under another name.
Miao Yi didn't care how much the Hive Gang could rob. What he wanted was a network of spies scattered throughout Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. And these spies were all for one person — that woman from Tempest Tavern! He wanted to keep tabs on the situation in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea at all times. He couldn't just leave them here after making a promise.
Of course, he couldn't announce this to the public. However, reality was cruel. To a 'big shot' like Miao Yi, the Hive Gang was nothing more than his chess pieces. Whatever he told them to do, they had to do. Otherwise, there was no need for them to exist.
As soon as he entered the Swarm of Wasps' base, he immediately saw Cheng Yaowei and his family. They didn't know why Miao Yi had suddenly come here.
As soon as Miao Yi saw Cheng Yaowei, he immediately instructed, "Find me a place to stay near Tempest Tavern. I need to be able to observe it from afar."
These words caused Cheng Yaowei's heart to skip a beat. This person had already caused a bloodbath in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea because of the incident at Tempest Tavern. What was he trying to do now?
However, he didn't ask too much about it. The previous incident was also because he wanted to save him, Cheng Yaowei. Since the other party was willing to go this far, what else could he say? Naturally, he immediately did as he was told, and quickly selected a place for Miao Yi.
This was one of the benefits of having a gang of desert bandits in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. For something as trivial as this, all you had to do was ask for it, and they would do it for you.
Miao Yi did not linger here. He had come in a hurry, and he left in a hurry as well. After giving Cheng Yaowei a few reminders, he left.
"My lord, what is he doing? Why is he keeping an eye on Tempest Tavern? Did something happen? "After sending Miao Yi off, Wu Qunfang couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Yaowei sighed. "Sigh! Do we have a choice? We'll just do as he says. Oh, right. Tell our men to keep a low profile for now. Don't go out looking for work for the time being. We'll see how things turn out. "
Beside him, Cheng Yingwu said with a hint of admiration, "Our lord is one of the Five Great Hosts of the Sea of Constellations now! What's there to be afraid of? "
"What do you know? He's already standing on the cusp of the storm. That's the kind of person the waves will hit! "Wu Qunfang jabbed her daughter's forehead.
Cheng Yingwu rubbed her forehead, then turned around and flipped her braids. She said disdainfully, "I don't know who it was that tried to persuade me to marry that guy."
The gazes of the Cheng family members immediately focused on Wu Qunfang, making her feel rather awkward. She flew into a rage out of humiliation and grabbed her daughter and pinched her twice, scolding her as she pinched, "You heartless thing, who do you think your mother's painstaking efforts are for?"
About a thousand meters away from Tempest Tavern, on a higher ground, Miao Yi led the four old demons to the entrance of a mud house and knocked on the door.
The door opened slightly, revealing a face that looked warily at the group outside. "Who are you looking for?"
Miao Yi took out a jade disk. It was Cheng Yaowei's handwriting, and passed it through the gap.
After reading it, the other party opened the door and let them in. He then closed the door behind him and left, essentially leaving the mud house to Miao Yi's group for the time being.
Miao Yi quickly scanned the interior of the house. There was no place to hide anything. While the four old demons were still looking around, Miao Yi had already opened the window and was staring at Tempest Tavern in the distance with a cold gaze.
There were still two days until the ninth day of the New Year. He knew that Feng Xuan would be coming to fetch his bride in two days, but he wasn't in a hurry to find the Lady Boss. Instead, he waited here.
Even though he was prepared to take the Lady Boss away at all costs, even if he had to turn the entire place upside down, he still needed a reason. A reason that was worth him dying for.
That was why he was waiting here, waiting for that day to come. He wanted to see if the Lady Boss would leave with Feng Xuan. If the Lady Boss left with Feng Xuan, then he would pretend as if nothing had ever happened. He would pretend as if he had never been here before. He would pretend as if nothing had ever happened between him and the Lady Boss, and let her go with the wind.
