Even though Yao Ruoxian wasn't an intelligent person, he wasn't a fool either. As soon as these clans began to fight over the treasure, he immediately realized that something was amiss. He realized how naive he had been. It was simply impossible for him to spend a hundred days here to refine the artifact.
Some things were like this. It was hard to face reality without facing it, and once you did, reality was cruel.
Fu Yuankang, Ji Dehai, and An Ruyu didn't even need to greet each other. They instantly gave up the chance to settle their grudges and rushed over.
The reason was simple. Grudges were not as important as Yao Ruoxian at the moment. If Yao Ruoxian were to fall into someone else's hands, and if he were to come up with a flawless Exquisite Pagoda, it would be a fatal blow to the other Sages.
Several parties eyed Yao Ruoxian covetously, surrounding him below. No one dared to make the first move. Whoever made the first move would become the target of everyone else's attack. Xiang Baiting, who was accidentally surrounded, broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't go down, but he couldn't leave either. His Master's wife didn't let him back down.
The people of the various artifact refining sects were speechless. They slowly retreated to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Ji Dehai looked around and realized that his side was the weakest. After all, several Overlords had died. Even though Fu Yuankang's side was in the same situation, he had the help of his Junior Sister, and Feng Beichen was hiding behind.
"Xiong Wei, the Sea of Constellations is also a part of the Yao Nation. Are you all going to stand by and watch?" Ji Dehai called out to the Four Overlords.
The Four Overlords looked at each other, then waved their hands and led their people to fly behind Ji Dehai. This couldn't be helped. After all, they were still members of the Yao Nation. Even though they didn't listen to Yao Sage Ji Huan's orders, they still had a certain alliance against external enemies. Otherwise, the Sea of Constellations would have been destroyed by the other Sages long ago.
Even though he didn't want to help Ji Dehai, this situation could be avoided if he wasn't here. Since he was here, he couldn't avoid it.
With the Four Overlords of the Sea of Constellations leading the Yao army, Ji Dehai was instantly energized. With this strength, he could even hold off Feng Beichen for a while. He had seen Feng Beichen at the Exquisite Refinement Sect with his own eyes, so he was most worried that Feng Beichen would make a move.
Even though Feng Beichen would change the nature of the situation once he made a move, and the other five Sages would come back to settle the score, Mister Zi Yang's importance was self-evident. Moreover, they were causing trouble in someone else's territory. It was hard to guarantee that Feng Beichen would not intervene.
At this time, the sun had already risen high in the sky, but the stalemate between the six nations was extremely dangerous. It was completely on the verge of breaking out, and no one dared to make the first move. They were afraid of being besieged.
Down below, Yao Ruoxian never thought that he would be involved in such a matter, and felt the pressure as well.
At this moment, a person suddenly dashed out of the forest and let out a sorrowful cry, "Second Master! Save me? "
What was going on? Everyone in the sky tilted their heads to look at the source of the voice, only to see a ragged figure with a face covered in blood and disheveled hair dashing out from the forest. Everyone focused their gazes on the figure and realized that it was none other than Miao Yi. This guy was actually still alive?
Cloud Leopard's eyelids twitched. Even though he had already received a report from his subordinates beforehand, he was still speechless when he saw Miao Yi's behavior. He didn't know what this guy was trying to do by putting himself in such a state.
Meanwhile, An Ruyu's pupils abruptly shrank as she exchanged glances with Ou Yangguang. 'Isn't this guy a little too lucky? So many Golden Lotus cultivators have died, and yet he's still alive?'
However, she still played along with Miao Yi's words and shouted, "Miao Yi. What happened?"
Everyone else wanted to know what had happened as well. They watched as Miao Yi hopped over to Yao Ruoxian's side.
Yao Ruoxian stared at him blankly. Just as he was about to speak, Miao Yi's weak voice transmission reached his ears, "Shut your stinky mouth!"
Miao Yi cupped his fists towards An Ruyu in the sky and said with a sorrowful expression, "Second Master. The Boundless Nation and the Yao Nation worked together to set up a trap for me. If it weren't for someone rescuing me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to see Second Master again. Please help me, Second Master! "
Ji Dehai sneered, "Then you've really found the wrong person to call the shots. If no one had sent you away from the Celestial Nation, we wouldn't have been able to make a move. The mastermind is someone from your Celestial Nation. I'm afraid you'll have to ask your Second Master to clear his name first! Let me ask you, where is my sister, Ji Meimei? "
"Dead!" Miao Yi immediately blurted out.
Ji Dehai's expression darkened. Fu Yuankang anxiously asked, "What about my Junior Sister, Cui Yongzhen?"
"Of course she's dead too!" Miao Yi didn't hold back.
Ji Dehai and Fu Yuankang asked at almost the same time, "Who did it?"
Neither side doubted Miao Yi's words, because they didn't think Miao Yi was the culprit.
"I don't know." Miao Yi tilted his head to look at Fahai. "In any case, it's a very powerful monk. I was ambushed, and the two groups of people accidentally bumped into that monk. In the end, they angered him."
Everyone's gazes immediately fell upon Dharma Eye. In this world, there was no other person who could kill so many Golden Lotus cultivators in one go, leaving not a single one alive. Not even Cui Yongzhen was left alive. Previously, everyone had already suspected that it was one of the Six Sages who had arrived.
Feng Beichen, who was behind the lattice window in the loft, narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He cautiously scanned his surroundings.
Fahai stared at Miao Yi below and said, "Don't spout nonsense. Why wouldn't my master come personally for such a small matter?"
Miao Yi replied, "I didn't say I was your master. I've never seen your master before. Who knows what he looks like?"
Right now, he was trying to instigate as many people as he could. It would be best if the other group started fighting. Right now, the ones giving him a headache were the Buddha Nation and the Ghost Nation.
He then turned to look at Yao Ruoxian beside him and asked, "Who are you? Why are you surrounded by a group of people? "
"…" Yao Ruoxian was speechless. 'You don't know who I am?' However, he wasn't stupid. He knew that Miao Yi must have a reason for asking such a question. He calmly replied, "Zi Yang!"
Miao Yi looked him up and down, and asked in surprise, "You're the famous Mister Zi Yang?"
"That's right!" As soon as Yao Ruoxian said this, Miao Yi suddenly punched him in the stomach.
'Bang!' Yao Ruoxian's eyes bulged out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Miao Yi transmitted his voice to his ear, "Come with me!"
"The duel is not over yet …"
"Duel my ass. I won't run if I can. I'm risking my life for you. Are you trying to get me killed?" Miao Yi had already pulled out a sword artifact and placed it against Yao Ruoxian's neck.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect Miao Yi to suddenly attack. They only heard Miao Yi shout, "So it was you who caused this mess. You almost caused me to lose my life here. How can I forgive you so easily!"
An Ruyu exclaimed, "Miao Yi, keep him alive!" If they could bring this person back, it would definitely be a great merit. It would be enough to make up for any previous mistakes.
In the blink of an eye, Miao Yi had Yao Ruoxian in his hands. He placed a sword artifact against Yao Ruoxian's neck, and turned to ask An Ruyu, "Second Master, is there a use for keeping this person alive?"
An Ruyu nodded. "Yes!"
"Alright then!" Miao Yi turned to Yao Ruoxian and shouted, "Come with me? If you dare try anything funny, I'll kill you! "He immediately grabbed Yao Ruoxian and flew up into the sky.
Everyone was stunned. No one dared to make the first move because they were afraid of being ganged up on. They didn't think that a small fry like Miao Yi would do something that they didn't dare to do. He really wasn't afraid of death. Not even in their dreams could they have imagined that Yao Ruoxian would fall into Miao Yi's hands just like that.
Naturally, they wouldn't let the matter rest. How could they let Miao Yi take him away so easily? Just as they were about to make a move, Miao Yi shouted, "No one move. Otherwise, I'll kill him!"
Everyone was stunned. They realized that Miao Yi had become Miao Yi's hostage in the blink of an eye.
What made them even more speechless was that they realized that Miao Yi was too daring. He still dared to make such a move in front of everyone. Just look at how calm he was. He didn't seem to be afraid of them at all.
Only then did they realize that this bastard definitely lived up to his reputation. Cloud Leopard raised his eyebrows and laughed. 'Sister Qiu, this man is quite interesting!'
Miao Yi slowly floated towards the Devil Nation's forces with the hostage in hand. As he did so, he shouted, "Eighth Uncle, you won't just stand by and watch me fall into danger, will you?"
Cloud Leopard chuckled. "Of course. We're all family. I can't just watch Sister Qiu become a widow!" With a wave of his hand, a group of people quickly surrounded Miao Yi.
"Second Master! If you have anything to say, leave this place first! "Miao Yi shouted at An Ruyu.
He really didn't have a choice. He originally wanted to kill this woman with a borrowed knife, but Yao Ruoxian's sudden appearance had ruined his plans. If he wanted to save Yao Ruoxian now, he couldn't rely on the Great Devil Realm's forces alone. He could only work together for now and think of a way to get Yao Ruoxian out of this place alive. He would deal with the rest later.
An Ruyu was taken aback. However, the Yao Nation and Boundless Nation's forces had no intention of letting them go so easily. Only by working together with the Great Devil Realm would they have a better chance of escaping. Besides, Miao Yi was still a member of the Celestial Nation. If Miao Yi were to fall into Miao Yi's hands, it would be the same as falling into the Celestial Nation's hands.
Needless to say, An Ruyu waved her hand and immediately led the Celestial Nation's forces over to protect Miao Yi.
Cloud Leopard also knew that he wouldn't be able to escape on his own, so he didn't reject the Celestial Nation's forces.
In reality, the Six Sages had always been working together, but they were also constantly undermining each other. Today, they were at each other's throats. As long as there was a mutual benefit, they could immediately work together again.
"My four brothers, why don't you lend me a hand?" Miao Yi shouted towards the Sea of Constellations.
Ji Dehai abruptly turned around and said, "Xiong Wei. Do you know whose side you're on?"
Xiong Wei replied, "We won't stand with the Celestial Nation or the Devil Nation, and we won't oppose the Yao Nation either. We will only protect our Little Five. If anyone dares to touch a hair on our brother, we will fight them to the death!" With a wave of his hand, the Sea of Constellations Demonic Beasts immediately rushed over.
Miao Yi was still worried about the Devil Nation and Celestial Nation's forces. In times of crisis, these two groups would only act for the sake of their respective camps' interests. The only ones who truly viewed Miao Yi as their core interest were the four Hosts. That was why he still felt that the Sea of Constellations Demonic Beasts were more reliable. He then called out, "Move inside!"
The Demonic Beasts immediately squeezed themselves into the innermost area, forcing the Devil Nation's forces out. The four Hosts then formed four directions to protect Miao Yi.
