It wasn’t that Miao Yi was overlooking his shortcomings. Back then, he had caused the death of Wang Zifa and the others in the Sea of Constellations, and wasn’t the slightest bit guilty about it. Those group of bastards never had good intentions to begin with. If he hadn’t taken drastic measures to forcefully subdue them and lure them with profits, they would never have listened to his commands, and would definitely have acted like Song Fu.
However, these handmaidens were innocent. If Yuan Zhengkun had merely killed them, then it was out of bad luck and that was how their life had turned out.
But Yuan Zhengkun shouldn’t have humiliated them while they were still living, and continued to insult them further by hanging them here after death.
His actions were devoid of conscience. Even heaven and earth could no longer bear him! This was something that could only be done by a bastard! He was insulting East Arrival Cave, and furthermore, insulting the East Arrival Cave Master; Miao Yi had never felt such fury before. If he did not seek revenge, then he wasn’t a man!
Perhaps heaven and earth were truly present in spirit. The moment he cried out, a chilling gust of wind blew past. The twelve corpses began to rock, as if in eager anticipation after hearing Miao Yi’s oath!
Miao Yi’s gaze swept across each faces on the corpses. Abruptly, he turned his head around and spread open his arms.
A cloud of silvery mist exploded from the storage ring before descending on him in quick succession. An extraordinarily grand and commanding set of silver armor immediately rested on him, with the Inversed-Scales Spear tightly clutched in his hand.
Beneath him, Charcoal cried out, similarly clad in a forbidding armor as if he were a monster that had emerged from ancient times.
In an instant, Yan Xiu seemed to have forgotten his sorrows as he stared at Miao Yi in wide-eyed amazement, having been caught quite off guard. ‘A set of transcendent artifacts? Even Charcoal has one? This…’
"ROARR…," dragon roars resounded throughout the desolate land, as Miao Yi swung the Inversed-Scales Spear in his grip. Turning his steed around, his gaze once again swept over the unsightly corpses hanging there. "The men of East Arrival Cave are not completely dead yet! Yan Xiu! Follow your Cave Master into battle… to slaughter!" he bellowed furiously.
Just like a monster, Charcoal swiftly trampled through the ruins, carrying Miao Yi as he charged ahead on his path. The obstructions that hadn’t completely collapsed yet were barreled into and sent flying. They had an unstoppable, and astonishingly formidable presence!
His entire body quivering, Yan Xiu loudly yelled, "Understood!"
Quickly leaping onto his mount, they rapidly jumped over the ruins and swiftly pursued after Miao Yi.
The rumbling sounds of the two traveling dragon steeds gradually disappeared far behind the mountain.
Yao Ruoxian stood at his original spot, peering about his surroundings. Scratching his head, he realized that he felt a bit bored being by himself.
Especially considering there were still a dozen grotesque female corpses above him. Whenever the wind blew, they would turn to stare at him with their tongues jutting out and their eyes open wide, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"F*ck. Did I take the wrong pill? How did I get kidnapped by that brat to help him look after his home…?" muttered Yao Ruoxian incoherently while gripping his beard…
Inside the realm of Emerald Forest Cave, a bloody battle scene unfolded.
Still heavily surrounded, the newly refined winged helm had already been struck off Qin Weiwei’s head, scattering her raven hair into a disheveled mess on her shoulders. She was severely injured; her expression was ghastly pale, with blood hanging from the corners of her lips. Her mount had already been beheaded, and her skirt stained with red. Limping, she continued to brandish the Serpent Lance in a circle to ward off attacks. She was already a spent arrow, dragging herself on as she grit her teeth.
She had already killed two of the ten Cave Masters who had surrounded her, but she was now helpless against the remaining eight. Every single one of the eight Cave Masters held a trace of mockery on their face as they circled around Qin Weiwei. At times, they would strike out to toy with her. Obviously, they could have killed her already but they chose not to, very much like how a cat toyed around with a mouse.
It’s uncertain if Transient Light Cave was a place where traitor were born, but the moment that the battle was engaged in earnest, the Transient Light Cave Master under Qin Weiwei immediately cried out in surrender when he saw that he was in danger.
However, his opponent wasted no time and immediately beheaded the Transient Light Cave Master after he laid down his weapon.
It was precisely because they would only face death regardless of where they turned to, that the remaining men were forced to fight with everything they had.
Yet, there was too much of a gap in strength between the two parties. The two Mountain Chieftains, Duan Jirui and Luo Wuqing, with Blue Lotus First Grade cultivation hadn’t made a single move, and were simply watching the scene from halfway up the mountain. One by one, the five Cave Masters Qin Weiwei brought were slaughtered. Out of about seventy men under her, nobody survived. Only Qin Weiwei was left alive and being toyed around with as a ruse to lure in the reinforcements.
Both Guan Jirui and Luo Wuqing had lost about twenty men.
After all of Qin Weiwei’s men were decimated, the two Mountain Chieftains watching the fight gave a signal. Apart from the eight Cave Masters surrounding Qin Weiwei that continued to toy with her, the rest immediately withdrew and hid in the mountain forest on either side.
When Gongsun Yu arrived with the others in tow and saw that Qin Weiwei was in such a tragic state, his eyes bulged. Without any hesitation, he signaled the others as he thundered in rage, "ATTACK!"
The units following him began charging towards them from afar at great speeds.
In response, Qin Weiwei let out an anguished cry, "Gongsun Yu, quickly retreat! It’s an ambush!"
Although he was shocked, Gongsun Yu still continued charging with his men; trying in vain to rescue Qin Weiwei before making their escape.
The repercussions of such an act were as expected. More than a hundred men charged out from the mountain forest on either sides, once again trapping Gongsun Yu in the middle.
Seeing the strategy of ‘ambushing rabbits from behind the tree’ effectively crippling the enemy forces twice in quick succession, even the Manor Head of Ever Peace Manor, Zhang Decheng, couldn’t help but chuckle as he watched the battle from the distant mountain range.
At exactly the same moment, three Cave Masters serving under Qin Weiwei—the Cave Master of Ten Thousand Spirits, Wang Hai; the Cave Master of Sun Believer Cave, Li Youqian; and the Cave Master of Coiling Clouds Cave, Zhang Yuniang—arrived together with the forces from the three caves.
Caught in a pinch, Gongsun Yu was overjoyed as he shouted out in surprise, "Hurry and help us break through the encirclement!"
These three Cave Masters were seniors by Yang Qing’s side, and were his trusted aides. The reason why they were assigned under Qin Weiwei was to assist her in emergencies.
After seeing Qin Weiwei in danger, the three of them naturally couldn’t sit idly by the sidelines. They immediately combined their forces to form a wedge, commanding their forces to pierce through like a keen blade.
Signalling with his hand, Duan Jirui commanded the company of over a hundred cultivators to immediately open up a path, taking the initiative to let Wang Hai and the others in.
