Cloud Leopard was a little curious when he heard Miao Yi's words. Miao Yi didn't want to give up on the Celestial Nation's side, but at the same time, he wanted to screw over An Ruyu's side. It seemed like he had a personal grudge against An Ruyu alone. Cloud Leopard couldn't help asking, "Miao Yi, what kind of grudge do you have with An Ruyu? I've never heard of any enmity between you two. Why did she want to kill you? Why did you set her up? "
You'll have to ask your niece that! Miao Yi grumbled in his heart. The truth of the situation was really hard to speak about. This was no longer a matter of whether he was at a disadvantage or not. It was a matter of damaging a man's dignity. If a woman was at a disadvantage in this aspect, she could still complain about it, but most men would never say anything even if they were beaten to death. He denied it and said, "I don't have any grudges with her. I didn't say that I wanted to trick her. I just wanted to force the mastermind out!"
Seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Cloud Leopard knew it was useless to ask, so he changed the topic. "What about you? What if the Celestial Nation gets into an uproar and you, as the Palace Lord, just hide on the side and not show your face? "
Miao Yi calmly replied, "I have fallen into a trap by mistake. Now, I am in the same situation as Cui Yongzhen and Ji Meimei. My fate is unknown … If I hide here for a while and run out now, won't the two sides come to me for answers? Let's wait for the commotion over there to settle down first. "
"You rascal, you're really bad. You should just stay in the Immortal Nation obediently. The Devil Nation doesn't welcome you." Cloud Leopard shook his head and patted him on the shoulder. "Let's put it this way first. Fu Yuankang is still waiting for me to play chess!" He turned around and left.
"Eighth Uncle, send an expert to do it. Don't let anyone find out."
"I know."
As soon as the door closed, Miao Yi turned to Qin Weiwei, who was standing silently at the side, and said, "Weiwei, if the situation doesn't look good, I will arrange for someone to send you back first."
Qin Weiwei did not object and nodded silently. She felt a little sad in her heart, feeling that she had become a burden and could not be of any help at all.
She finally understood that she shouldn't have come this time at all. This kind of thing wasn't something she could interfere with at all.
She just couldn't figure it out. Back then, when Miao Yi was still a White Lotus cultivator, he was already able to hunt in the Sea of Constellations. After that, he participated in the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade and forcefully killed his way out of a hundred and eighty thousand cultivators. When he was still in the Blue Lotus realm, he went on an adventure in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. During that time, he had experienced many other things, one after another. Who knew how many dangers he had gone through to climb to where he was today, one step at a time?
Moreover, her current cultivation far surpassed Miao Yi's at that time. He was already at the Red Lotus realm, yet he realized that he couldn't do anything once he left his territory. He was nothing at all. When he thought back to the past few years, he realized that he hadn't actually experienced anything dangerous. The most dangerous time was when Miao Yi had saved her. If she had really encountered the things that Miao Yi had gone through, any one of them would have been enough to kill her.
Looking back at Miao Yi's arrangements for the conversation just now, she suddenly felt that she was a little useless. All along the way, it was others who had paved the way for her to walk.
"By the way, don't mention what happened today to anyone but Madam. It's best if you don't mention it to Chief Steward Yang either. Otherwise, he'll hate me to death." Miao Yi added. He didn't want to say it in front of her at first, and wanted to communicate with her via voice transmission. However, after some thought, he decided not to let her think too much about it.
"Yes!" Qin Weiwei answered.
After Cloud Leopard came out. He summoned the two Overlords and handed them two storage rings. After giving them some instructions, the two Overlords nodded and quietly disappeared into the darkness.
Cloud Leopard chuckled as he stood in the shadows. With his hands behind his back, he returned to the main hall. Seeing that Fu Yuankang was still leisurely waiting for him with a cup of tea in his hand, Cloud Leopard calmly walked over and sat down opposite him.
Fu Yuankang narrowed his eyes and mocked, "Why does it take so long to pee?"
"I pooped along the way!" Cloud Leopard shamelessly reached out his palm across the table, and cheerfully moved it towards Fu Yuankang's nose. "Smell it if you don't believe me. It even smells like shit. "
Fu Yuankang tilted his head back and avoided it. He frowned as he looked at the cup of tea in his hand, and instantly lost his appetite. How could he drink it when it smelled like shit and pee? He placed the teacup to the side …
The Exquisite Refinement Sect's security seemed to be exceptionally strict today. Feng Beichen couldn't possibly be lax here, either. There were Exquisite Refinement Sect disciples standing guard both in the open and in the shadows. This was to prevent anyone from trespassing.
The grand hall was illuminated by brilliant lights, and the lanterns hanging in the plaza swayed gently in the wind.
Whoosh! A soft sound broke the silence, and a storage ring bounced a few times on the plaza.
Several silhouettes immediately dashed out from the shadows. Two of them stood in front of the storage ring that had fallen to the ground, while a few others immediately chased in the direction where the storage ring had been bounced from. They scurried to possible locations and searched quickly, but they couldn't find a single person.
By the time the few of them returned and shook their heads, the storage ring had already been picked up. The person who had first seen the contents of the storage ring was stunned to the spot.
"What's this?" Someone took the storage ring from his hand and looked at it, and was also somewhat dumbfounded.
Very quickly, the few of them dashed towards the back of the mountain. Before long, they had handed the storage ring over to Mo Ming and Miao Junyi.
After seeing the contents of the storage ring, the couple was quite frightened, and their expressions changed. Miao Junyi shouted, "Where did this thing come from?"
The disciple who had picked up the storage ring said in fear and trepidation, "Madam, someone has bounced the storage ring onto the plaza. We don't know who threw it, but we couldn't find anyone when we went to search. The person who did it has a cultivation level that far surpasses ours."
"How could this be? How did the four Overlords die so mysteriously? With their cultivation level, even if they were to fight against a Saint Venerable, they would still be able to make a sound! "Mo Ming's face was full of shock.
Not to mention him, even Miao Yijun didn't know what the four of them had done.
"We can't hide this! Let's go and see Master! " Miao Junyi was also a little flustered. This was no small matter. Four of the Boundless Nation's Overlords had died at once, and they hadn't even heard a sound. Furthermore, they had died in the Exquisite Refinement Sect. This matter was really getting out of hand. She grabbed her husband's arm, and the couple hurriedly left.
In the forbidden area of the back of the mountain, the two of them hurriedly went to a small hall to wait after notifying their master.
Feng Beichen, who had received the notification, slowly walked out from the back of the hall. When he saw the two of them, he calmly asked, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry to see me?"
"Master, something big has happened!" Miao Junyi handed over the storage ring with both hands.
After Feng Beichen took a look, his eyes suddenly lit up. His face was filled with fury, and a murderous aura suddenly surged from his body. He stared coldly at the two of them and asked sternly, "What happened?"
"Someone threw it into the main hall's plaza. Our subordinates went out to search, but they couldn't find anyone …" Miao Yijun immediately explained the general situation. She had also sensed the murderous aura from her master. In the end, she cautiously added, "This disciple also doesn't know what happened. Even with the cultivation level of the four Overlords, this disciple actually didn't hear any sounds of fighting."
Feng Beichen glanced at the two of them, then picked up the storage ring in his hand to take a look. Of course, he knew that the two of them didn't know anything. Only a handful of people knew what the four Overlords had gone to do. In order to not alert the enemy, he hadn't told anyone in the Exquisite Refinement Sect.
The most important thing now was that there were only the corpses of the four Overlords here, but his own disciple, Cui Yongzhen, was nowhere to be seen. Cui Yongzhen hadn't returned either. This was a huge problem. He had a feeling that he had fallen into a trap and been played.
"Someone!" Feng Beichen shouted.
A female attendant immediately rushed in from outside. Feng Beichen said, "Bring Fu Yuankang to see me immediately!"
"Yes!" The female attendant quickly left.
Miao Junyi stood there with her head bowed, not daring to breathe too loudly. She only dared to sneak a glance at Feng Beichen, who was pacing back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back.
At this moment, Cloud Leopard was still playing chess with Fu Yuankang. One of Cloud Leopard's attendants walked in, brought in some hot tea, and filled Cloud Leopard's cup to the brim. Then, the attendant walked in front of Fu Yuankang to pour tea.
Cloud Leopard glanced at the tea in his own cup, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes. This was the signal that had been agreed upon beforehand. When the tea was filled, it meant that the matter had been settled. It meant that the task that had been entrusted to him had been completed.
At this moment, the female attendant that Feng Beichen had sent hurriedly walked in after reporting. She transmitted her voice to Fu Yuankang, saying, "The Holy Senior wishes to see you."
Fu Yuankang frowned, and transmitted his voice back, asking, "What is it?"
The female attendant replied, "I don't know. In short, the Holy Senior is furious, and wants you to see him immediately."
Cloud Leopard took a sip of tea, and said cheerfully, "What kind of sneaky matter can't be told face to face?"
"I'm not playing anymore!" Fu Yuankang grabbed a handful of chess pieces and scattered them on the chessboard. Then, he stood up and left.
Cloud Leopard slammed his teacup on the table and smiled coldly. "Damn it! Fu Yuankang, are you messing with me? Your grandson tried to goad me into playing chess with you. Now, I'm not playing anymore just because you said so! It's fine if you don't want to play. Just obediently admit defeat and leave behind the wager. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this place! "
Fu Yuankang did not say much. He flipped his hand, and a storage ring flew over.
Cloud Leopard caught it and took a look. He estimated that one billion Gold Crystals was not a small sum. He immediately waved his hand and said, "If your chess skills are not as good as others, then don't look for trouble. Now, you know how powerful I am, right? Scram!"
Fu Yuankang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He had won more than he lost. Now, he was still being bullied. However, he had no choice. His master was rushing him, and he had no time to waste with Cloud Leopard. With a flick of his sleeves, he quickly left the main hall.
When the four subordinates outside saw him come out, they immediately surrounded him. Fu Yuankang met them and asked them via voice transmission. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
The few of them immediately flew into the air, heading straight for the Exquisite Refinement Sect. They landed outside the main hall of the forbidden grounds. Fu Yuankang walked in quickly alone. He saw Miao Junyi and the Mo couple standing with their heads lowered. He also saw Feng Beichen pacing back and forth.
He went up and cupped his hands. "Master, what did you summon me for?"
"See for yourself!" Feng Beichen casually tossed the storage ring over.
Fu Yuankang had a suspicious expression. After looking at it, he was suddenly shocked and looked up. "This … this … Master, how did this happen?"
Feng Beichen looked at Miao Junyi. Miao Junyi understood and immediately explained the situation.
Feng Beichen then continued, "What's the situation over at the Great Devil Realm?"
Fu Yuankang said anxiously, "Cloud Leopard has been playing chess with me. Although he left midway, it was only for a short while. He wouldn't be able to make it back in time, much less fight another round. The Overlords under him have also been successfully lured to the surroundings by my tricks. My subordinates have been able to see them from time to time. Even if one of them left, it would be impossible for them to kill the four of us Overlords. Moreover, Junior Sister is also there. If a fight really breaks out, who knows who will be killed. It can't be Cloud Leopard and the others who did it. "
Hearing this, Miao Junyi and Feng Beichen looked at each other in confusion. They could roughly tell that there was some secret operation that even they did not know about.
"What's important now is that we don't even know if your Junior Sister is dead or alive!" Feng Beichen, who was pacing back and forth, stopped and said in a low voice, "Bring some people to the scene immediately. Take a few more people with you just in case. Junyi, go as well."
