The atmosphere instantly tensed up. A storm was brewing!
Ji Dehai's tone was dark as he issued his final warning, "An Ruyu, hand over Ji Meimei and Miao Yi!"
Fu Yuankang also added, "Hand over my Junior Sister Cui!"
As soon as the two said this, many were shocked. Could it be that not only were the eight Overlords dead, but Cui Yongzhen and Ji Meimei had also fallen into the enemy's hands?
Even An Ruyu noticed that the situation was strange. Putting aside the others, how could Cui Yongzhen, who had cultivated the Boundless Art to a certain level, fall into Miao Yi's hands? The situation was far beyond her expectations. She couldn't figure out what was going on, but she wouldn't admit to anything for now. "I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Miao Yi, who was hiding among the crowd, was secretly delighted. 'Fight! It's best if you help me kill that old hag An Ruyu. The more of you die, the better. It's best if both sides suffer heavy losses. When your vitality is greatly damaged, Yao Ruoxian will appear, and it'll be easier for me to rescue them! '
The Sect Master of the Exquisite Refinement Sect, who was also watching from the sky, felt an indescribable pain in his heart. Once these experts started fighting, his Exquisite Refinement Sect would definitely be finished. Who knew how many disciples would be caught in the crossfire. In the past, the Exquisite Refinement Sect was destroyed once, and many of their disciples were injured or killed. It took them thousands of years to recover their vitality, and they never expected to encounter such a situation again.
Seeing that everyone had taken out their weapons, and that a great battle was about to break out, the unrelated people were already slowly retreating. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the mountain range, "Zi Yang is here! Xiang Baiting, do you dare accept the challenge?! "
Everyone was stunned, including Miao Yi. This was indeed Yao Ruoxian's voice.
Everyone turned to look at one of the artifact refining sects in the sky. In the middle of the group, a person flew out and flew above the valley. With a shake of his arms, a layer of skin exploded on his face, which scattered with the wind, revealing his true appearance — a Sixth Grade Red Lotus on his forehead.
Miao Yi's eyes widened. Who else could it be but Yao Ruoxian!
However, Yao Ruoxian was dressed neatly today. He was no longer as sloppy as before, and finally looked like a normal person.
"Brother Huang, you …" The Sect Master of the artifact refining sect pointed at Yao Ruoxian. "You … you're Mister Zi Yang!"
Yao Ruoxian turned around. He cupped his fists and said, "Brother Bao, that's right, I am Ziyang! I had no choice but to conceal my identity when I befriended Brother Bao in the past. I had no choice but to borrow your sect's cover to come here. I hope Brother Bao won't take offense. I'm sure that with so many important figures around, they wouldn't bother with your sect! "Once again, he lowered his head and apologized.
Sect Leader Bao was speechless.
The corner of Miao Yi's mouth twitched. He didn't expect Yao Ruoxian to have his own way of infiltrating this place. It seemed like he had made an unnecessary move!
But you could have appeared at any other time, so why now? Didn't we agree to meet on the 19th tomorrow? Miao Yi gnashed his teeth in hatred. He realized that this bastard Yao Ruoxian was purposely making things difficult for him. Not only that, he even ruined his plans!
Truth be told, Yao Ruoxian didn't expect things to turn out this way. He had his own ways of sneaking in, but suddenly, rumors started flying all over the place. He had exposed the truth behind the grand competition of the Exquisite Refinement Sect. He didn't even need to guess to know who did it. Who else could it be other than that wicked Miao Yi? He also knew that Miao Yi did it for his own good, but this wasn't what he wanted.
When he arrived here, he saw Miao Yi during the day. Unfortunately, it wasn't convenient for him to come into contact with him. He also guessed that Miao Yi was most likely here for him. But he never expected things to turn out this way. Miao Yi had fallen into a trap and didn't know what was good for him!
Yao Ruoxian suddenly realized that he was being too selfish. If something really happened to Miao Yi, how could he face Qian'Er and Xue'Er? The grief and indignation in his heart were hard to describe.
The reason why he appeared now was because he didn't want the Exquisite Refinement Sect to be destroyed because of him. Even though he wanted to redeem himself, the Exquisite Refinement Sect was still the place that had raised him. It was also a place that had imparted his skills to him. If it weren't for the Exquisite Refinement Sect, he wouldn't be where he was today. He only wanted to redeem himself and not destroy the Exquisite Refinement Sect.
As for whether or not he could return alive, that wasn't even within his considerations. When he first came here, he had never thought of returning alive. Thus, he left the mantids and all his cultivation resources at Miao Yi's Sun Traversing Palace.
Just as the battle was about to reach its climax, Yao Ruoxian's appearance calmed the situation down. Everyone's attention was now on him.
'Whoosh!' A silhouette flashed in front of Yao Ruoxian. It was the Exquisite Refinement Sect's Sect Master, Mo Ming. He looked at Yao Ruoxian with a complicated expression. In that instant, he seemed to have aged quite a bit. His voice was filled with a sense of powerlessness as he asked, "Why did you do this?"
Yao Ruoxian looked at him, his emotions a little agitated. He lowered his head slightly and didn't say a word.
Mo Ming's face was filled with sorrow as he asked, "Why did you have to come back? Since you left, why did you have to come back? You've disappeared for so many years. Why did you have to show yourself again? It's not easy to live. Why didn't you continue to live? "The underlying meaning behind his words seemed to be: Why did you come back to die?!
The emotions that had been suppressed in Yao Ruoxian's heart for so many years suddenly erupted. He roared, "Unfair! Because it's unfair! Anyone can be unfair to me, but only you! You're the person I trust the most! Why did you have to do this to me? What did I do wrong? I just want justice! "He clenched his fists as he screamed his last words.
Mo Ming glanced at Yao Ruoxian's white hair and sighed deeply, "There are some things that don't need to be asked why. So what if you can get justice? Living well is more important than anything else. Why didn't you continue to live your life incognito? Why did you come back? Why were you so foolish? "
At that moment, a silhouette flashed to Mo Ming's side. It was Miao Junyi. She pointed at Yao Ruoxian and shouted, "Traitorous disciple! How dare you be so arrogant here. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let you live back then out of kindness. Now, instead of seeking revenge, you've come to slander our sect. This is no place for you to behave atrociously. Men! Take down this traitorous disciple! "
A few Exquisite Refinement Sect disciples flashed over. Unexpectedly, Mo Ming suddenly shouted, "All of you, stand down!"
The disciples were stunned in the air, not knowing who to listen to. Miao Junyi was instantly enraged. Unexpectedly, Mo Ming grabbed her wrist. He took a deep breath and sighed, "Stand down!"
Miao Junyi slowly turned to look at him, "What did you say?"
"I told you to stand down!" Mo Ming's voice grew louder, as though he had completely exploded. He shouted angrily, "Are you the Sect Master of Exquisite Refinement Sect, or am I the Sect Master of Exquisite Refinement Sect?!" His gaze swept across the disciples, "Didn't you hear that I told you to stand down?"
The disciples shrunk their heads, and slowly floated back awkwardly.
"You …" Miao Junyi's face turned ashen. She wanted to say something, but suddenly, a cold voice transmitted into her ears, "What are you trying to do?"
Miao Junyi's expression changed drastically. She lowered her head and obediently left. She flashed back to Exquisite Refinement Sect, and entered a loft through an open window.
Inside the loft, Feng Beichen was looking at the situation outside through the lattice window with his hands behind his back. Qin Xi stood beside him.
"Master!" Miao Yijun stepped forward and cautiously called out, "That traitorous disciple is really infuriating. I …"
Slap! It was a clear and loud sound. Feng Beichen turned around and slapped her across the face, causing her to fall to the ground. He coldly snorted, "Isn't this all because of what you did back then? If it weren't for you, idiot, how could today's events have happened? Now that your Senior Sister's whereabouts are unknown, and you even caused me to lose four Overlords, I have yet to settle the score with you, and yet you dare to act on your own? Are you ignoring my words? I think you're the traitorous disciple! "
Miao Junyi, who was sitting on the ground, covered her face with her hands and lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
Qin Xi, who was beside her, tilted her head and calmly glanced at her. She didn't say anything, and turned back to continue looking out the window.
Feng Beichen coldly snorted, turned around, and continued looking out the window with his hands behind his back.
At this moment, another person had already flashed to Mo Ming's side. It was none other than his daughter, Mo Junlan. Feng Beichen subconsciously frowned.
"Lan 'er, what are you doing here?" Mo Ming shouted, "Are you not going to listen to me?"
Mo Junlan ignored him, and only stared at Yao Ruoxian. With a bitter expression, she asked, "Second Senior Brother! Did the rumors outside come from you? Are they true? "
When Yao Ruoxian saw her appear, and saw that familiar face of hers, he was once again overcome with emotion. His chest heaved up and down, and he wanted to say something, but stopped himself. But when he looked at Mo Ming, a flash of bitterness flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his fist and heavily punched his chest. With a loud thud, he loudly announced to everyone, "The rumors outside have nothing to do with me, and I'm not the one who spread them. It's purely the work of a despicable person, someone trying to stir up trouble.
I'm only here to have a fair competition! "When Miao Yi heard this, he gritted his teeth, and cursed in his heart, 'Old thing, I helped you out of goodwill, but in your mouth, it's the work of a despicable person!'
However, when Yao Ruoxian said this, it was no different from clearing the Exquisite Refinement Sect's name in front of everyone. What explanation could be more convincing than his own testimony at this very moment?
Feng Beichen, who was watching from inside the loft, nodded his head slightly. He turned to look at Miao Junyi, who was standing behind him with her head lowered. He calmly said, "I can see that this Zi Yang still has feelings for Lan 'Er. When Lan' Er appeared, he endured all the grievances. It seems like he doesn't care that Lan 'Er is already married. His true feelings can be seen! It's hard to find such a good son-in-law, but you threw him away. Remember my words. This matter is very promising. What's better than finding a man who truly treats Lan 'Er well? He's a man, not a woman. A man's looks will never be the most important. Ability is more important than anything else! "
Miao Junyi bit her lip and didn't say a word.
Meanwhile, Mo Ming's heart was in turmoil. He looked at his abandoned disciple in front of him, not knowing what to say. He knew very well how much grievance Yao Ruoxian had been holding back when he said these words in front of everyone. Now that he had said these words, he would never have the chance to clear his name again. No one would believe him even if he went back on his word. Who would know which was the truth and which was the lie? This was tantamount to carrying the injustice for the rest of his life!
Mo Junlan only looked into Yao Ruoxian's eyes and didn't say a word. She seemed to have understood something from the sorrow that flashed through his eyes. She herself didn't look happy because she had gotten an answer to prove anything. Instead, she looked sad and desolate.
"Lan 'Er, stand down!" Mo Ming tilted his head and said.
