He looked around and heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, he had done it all in one go and caught the other party off guard. Otherwise, he might not have been a match for any other Golden Lotus cultivator.
He was relying on the fact that his opponent didn't know about his Seven Emotions — Fear — and the might of a mantis. Of course, there was also the fact that his cultivation had reached the Purple Lotus Ninth Grade, which allowed him to make use of the time gap. If he were still a Purple Lotus First Grade cultivator, he wouldn't have been able to move fast enough for his opponent to succeed. Mei Sang alone would be able to intercept him at the first moment. If the others saw through his trump card first, then he wouldn't have been able to catch him off guard earlier.
Turning around, he focused on sensing the mantises' reactions. They were still transmitting their consciousness as usual, with nothing out of the ordinary. Only then did he confirm that the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures didn't affect them. This surprised Miao Yi greatly. This was what he was most worried about when he launched the sneak attack. He was afraid that the brilliance on his saber would affect the mantises' attacks. Without the cooperation of the mantises, he wouldn't be able to succeed.
No matter what, the risk paid off. He extended his hand, and the eighty-five mantises flew up and flew into his storage bangle. He then pulled out his saber and put it away.
He then quickly cleaned up the place. There was no reason to waste the Overlords' belongings.
After cleaning up the scene, Miao Yi quickly left. He didn't fly in the sky, but used the cover of the mountain forest to return.
After sneaking back to the Exquisite Refinement Sect, he didn't return to the Celestial Nation's guest mountain. Only an idiot would run into An Ruyu again. Instead, he went straight to the residence of the Sea of Constellations Demons. Tonight, he planned to stay with the four Hosts. Otherwise, there was no need to bring his four sworn brothers over. The previous one was a warning.
"Who is it?"
Just as Miao Yi climbed over the wall, he was suddenly stopped by a figure. It was none other than the White Bone Demon King.
Seeing that it was Miao Yi, the White Bone Demon King was surprised. He looked him up and down. He didn't look like an imposter. He then asked curiously, "Lord Fifth, you should have come openly. Why did you sneakily climb over the wall?"
"I didn't want outsiders to know I was here." Miao Yi waved his hand and asked, "Where are the four Big Brothers? I have something to discuss with them. "
The skeletal demon monarch said, "There are guests in the main hall. Ji Dehai is having a discussion with the four hosts, I'll go inform them. "
"No need!" Miao Yi raised his hand to stop her. What was Ji Meimei's brother doing here? He rubbed his chin and muttered. Then, he pulled the Skeleton Demon Monarch and whispered, "Don't let anyone else know that I'm here, especially those from the Realm of Ten Thousand Demons. He couldn't let Ji Dehai know either. After Ji Dehai leaves, you can go back and quietly inform the four big brothers. "
The skeletal demon monarch asked curiously, "Why?"
"Just do as I say. Remember, don't let anyone else know that I was here. Tell the four Big Brothers to continue acting like they don't know anything," Miao Yi reminded again.
"Alright, I got it … Lord Fifth, where are you going?" The White Bone Demon King was stunned as Miao Yi climbed over the wall and slipped away.
Aside from Golden Lotus cultivators, most people wouldn't be able to find him that easily. Once again, he made his way to the mountain where the Devil Nation's guests resided. Just like before, he climbed over the wall and was discovered the moment he entered. "Who is it?"
The person who stopped him was the Devil Nation's Overlord of Mao Road, Song Yuanfang. When he saw it was Miao Yi, he was also surprised. "Young Master Miao, why are you sneaking over the wall? No one stopped you from entering the main gate! "
"It's a long story." Miao Yi sighed. As he spoke, he looked him up and down, then asked in surprise, "Overlord Song, why are you here to guard the house?"
The Four Hosts were still acceptable. Since he didn't bring anyone else with him, it was also acceptable to have the Yao Kings guard the house. It wasn't as if there were no other people here.
Song Yuanfang pointed towards the main hall. "I don't know what the Boundless Realm is up to. Fu Yuankang suddenly came to play chess with Lord Eighth. Lord Eighth is afraid that something is amiss, so he ordered us to increase the security around the perimeter. "
"Fu Yuankang is here?" Miao Yi was surprised.
"Yes!" Song Yuanfang nodded. Seeing his strange expression, he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?"
Miao Yi slowly shook his head and furrowed his brows. Ji Dehai was guarding the Four Overlords, while Fu Yuankang was guarding Cloud Leopard. Both sides were guarding one side. F * ck, they were afraid that someone would come to save this daddy. They even made preparations to cut off this daddy's last line of support!
'Bunch of bastards. They actually spent so much effort just to deal with me. They really think highly of me! ' Miao Yi laughed coldly, then whispered into Song Yuanfang's ear, "Overlord Song, don't leak the news of my arrival, and don't alert Fu Yuankang either. Secretly inform Eighth Uncle. Ask him to find an excuse to meet me in the rear courtyard …"
After a detailed explanation, Song Yuanfang looked him up and down. He knew that there was definitely something going on. Since the other party wasn't willing to reveal it, he didn't ask any further and nodded.
Miao Yi then tore off a piece of black cloth and wrapped his entire body, head and all, before following behind Song Yuanfang and leaving.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of a small house in the rear courtyard. The lights were still on inside. Miao Yi walked up to the door and knocked.
"Who is it?" Qin Weiwei's voice came from inside the house. She was obviously on guard.
"It's me!" Miao Yi replied in a low voice.
The door opened, and Qin Weiwei peeked out a crack. Miao Yi revealed his face under the black cloth for her to see.
Qin Weiwei was a little surprised that he was being so secretive, so she quickly let him in. Miao Yi entered the house, then turned around and nodded at Song Yuanfang, who was standing outside the door. The latter nodded back and left.
Once the door was closed, Miao Yi tore off the black cloth that was wrapped around his body and tucked it away. Qin Weiwei followed behind him and asked, "Milord, did something happen?"
Miao Yi didn't answer her question, and only sighed, "Weiwei, you really shouldn't have come here this time." He didn't say anything else. He didn't expect things to become so complicated.
Qin Weiwei was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any further. She turned around and poured a cup of tea, then placed it in front of him. She then stood to the side with her hands folded, watching Miao Yi frowning in deep thought...
The moonlight shifted, and Song Yuanfang entered the main hall. She glanced at Cloud Leopard and Fu Yuankang, who were sitting and chatting with each other.
"Lord Eighth!" Song Yuanfang walked up to him, took out a jade plate and handed it over. "A letter from the Great Devil Realm."
Fu Yuankang raised his eyes and stared at the jade plate, then continued to place his piece. Cloud Leopard tilted his head and gave Song Yuanfang a sidelong glance. The one receiving the letter from the Great Devil Realm wouldn't be Song Yuanfang, but Cloud Leopard's follower. However, Song Yuanfang definitely had her reasons for saying so.
As he placed his piece, Cloud Leopard casually took the jade plate and glanced at it. He raised his eyebrows slightly, then put the jade plate away with a flip of his hand. He then continued with his own game without any other reaction.
Song Yuanfang cupped her fists at the two of them, then turned around and left.
Inside the hall, Cloud Leopard only stood up after the slow game of chess had ended. Opposite him, Fu Yuankang chuckled and said, "Cloud Leopard, are you trying to renege on your debt?"
"Bullshit! I'm going to take a piss. I'll deal with you when I get back! "Cloud Leopard tossed out a lousy excuse, then turned around and went to the back hall.
"What a lousy excuse," Fu Yuankang mocked. However, he didn't take it to heart. He reckoned that the matter was almost settled. Even if Cloud Leopard found out, it would be too late.
Meanwhile, Cloud Leopard's true objective was to head straight for Miao Yi's room. After knocking on the door and entering, he saw Miao Yi and immediately asked, "Why are you sneaking around?"
Miao Yi didn't say much and handed over two storage rings. "Eighth Uncle, send two experts to secretly throw these two storage rings over to the Yao Nation and the Exquisite Refinement Sect respectively."
"What is it?" Cloud Leopard muttered. He infused his transcendence energy into the storage ring and his expression twitched. He quickly checked the other storage ring, then lifted his head to look at Miao Yi, a little dumbfounded.
There were actually two piles of corpses inside. Miao Yi recognized them as well. He wasn't unfamiliar with the corpses of Yao cultivators in their true forms. Inside were the corpses of the eight Overlords of the Yao Nation and the Boundless Nation. They were the eight people he had just met during the day.
"What's going on?" Cloud Leopard asked solemnly.
"What else could it be? Yun Zhiqiu almost became a widow …" Miao Yi immediately explained what happened after he returned to the Celestial Nation, as well as how he fell into the trap that Ji Meimei and Cui Yongzhen each led four Overlords to kill him.
Beside him, Qin Weiwei finally understood what had happened. She bit her lip in shock and fell silent.
Cloud Leopard sucked in a breath of cold air. "In other words, you suspect that An Ruyu, the Yao Nation, and the Boundless Nation are working together to kill you? Then how did you escape? You're not going to tell me that you killed all of them, are you? "
Miao Yi replied, "Of course I didn't kill them. In the nick of time, a mysterious person suddenly appeared and slaughtered them all. After I snuck back, I first went to the Four Directional Hosts and found Ji Dehai there. I then snuck back here. Who knew that Fu Yuankang would be here. "
Cloud Leopard chuckled. "I was wondering why Fu Yuankang was guarding this place. It turns out he was trying to cut off your escape route. By the way, who was the mysterious person who saved you? "
Miao Yi spread his hands. "I don't know him. I've never seen him before. Eighth Uncle, we'll talk about this later. First, send someone to throw these two storage rings back and let these corpses return to their respective homes. "
"What are you trying to do, kid? Don't drag me down with you. " Cloud Leopard had a suspicious look on his face. Suddenly, he let out a cry of surprise. After checking the two storage rings again, he asked, "Didn't you say that Cui Yongzhen and Ji Meimei were here as well? Their corpses aren't in here! "
Miao Yi laughed coldly. "How can I give them all to them? If I don't give them the two most important ones, I'll definitely look for them later. If I can't find them, I'll definitely look for the only person who knows."
The only person who knows? Cloud Leopard's eyes lit up. "What about An Ruyu?" He then rubbed his chin and chuckled. "Wonderful. This has nothing to do with us. We have an alibi. Fu Yuankang is guarding this place."
Miao Yi said, "The Four Directional Hosts of the Sea of Constellations also have alibis. Ji Dehai is guarding this place. Nothing will happen to us here."
"Interesting. There's going to be a good show to watch tonight." Cloud Leopard turned around and was about to make arrangements. However, as soon as he turned around, he turned back and looked at Miao Yi from head to toe. "You're a member of the Celestial Nation. How can you trick your own people?"
