Soaring the Heavens

Text Chapter 244: Lonely Elder Hong

Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan's departure was not to mobilize Donglai Cave's manpower, but to really return to Donglai Cave.

The plan has changed. Instead of going to the capital for the time being, they will leave Chenlu and go to Zilu. His current status is not good for him to cross the border with Donglai Cave's men and horses. After all, he is no longer the master of Donglai Cave in name.

There is another reason for letting the two go back. He doesn't want Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan to be embarrassed in front of their master Hong Changhai.

Although he promised the two to stand on Hong Changhai's side, Hong Changhai's answer made him very dissatisfied. What does it mean that no matter whether it succeeds or not, he must give an answer before sunset tomorrow? It's difficult to even mobilize some manpower in Lanyumen. Why should I offend people for you? Are our relationships good?

Avoiding the embarrassment of Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan is one aspect. Afterwards, Hong Changhai will definitely contact them to ask what happened. He also wants to see how they deal with such a choice this time. He doesn't ask them to lean towards either side, but they'd better not forget their current identities. If they are people who only listen to Hong Changhai's orders, then Miao Yi really needs to think about it in the future.

He wants Hong Changhai to understand a truth. If you want to use me, you have to show your capital. It's better to do things quickly, and don't give vague answers about success or failure.

If not, I will find someone else. You are not the only choice. You have to do your best in the future!

The same goes for Tong Renmei. If you want to use me, show your capital. You are not qualified to bargain with me!

Tong Renmei, who seemed to be leaving, paused and couldn't walk. When he came, he saw that Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan, who were guarding the door, were gone, and he also sent people to watch this side. The news that the mountain gate was released also said that the two said they wanted to return to Donglai Cave.

The airs he had just taken up were quickly put down again, and he was flexible, "Why do you need to trouble the people of Donglai Cave? I can still think of a way to deal with a small matter, but I don't know how many people you need and where you are going?"

"I need to go to Zilu's territory, which is a long way to go. As for the manpower, Elder Tong will arrange it."

"Zilu?" Tong Renmei hesitated for a moment. He found that this guy was a bit difficult to deal with, and he was a man who would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. He asked, "When will you leave?"

"It's better to leave quickly than late. Leave immediately."

"Wait a moment, sir. I'll arrange it right away." Tong Renmei, who had lowered his posture, clasped his fists and left immediately.

"Elder Tong!" Miao Yi suddenly called him.

Tong Renmei looked back. He had shown enough sincerity, and he didn't know what else he wanted.

Who knew that Miao Yi said something shamelessly that made his heart beat.

Miao Yi said calmly: "I think Elder Tong also knows the relationship between me and the leader of Shaotai Mountain, Xiong Xiao. I will not hide some things from you. I have coveted the position of the leader of Shaotai Mountain for a long time. This time I went on a long journey to see if the disciples of Elder Tong's lineage are useful. If they are useful, if I raise an army to attack Shaotai Mountain in the future, I wonder if Elder Tong is willing to lend me some troops?"

As expected, he would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit. As soon as Tong Renmei gave in, he immediately released the sweet date.

Tong Renmei's eyes lit up and she immediately realized something. She had been circling for a long time. I'm afraid this is the real purpose of this guy coming to Lanyumen.

Then he walked back quickly, his attitude changed instantly, and he whispered: "I have no problem here, but Yang Qing may not agree to our people joining."

"I will solve this matter myself." Miao Yi glanced at him, "Xiong Xiao is in charge of two mountains, and you also know that my Donglai Cave people want to sit in the two mountains, but the manpower is far from enough. After the matter is done, I don't know if Elder Tong can send ten groups of people to guard the ten caves for me."

"Don't worry about this, sir!" Tong Renmei promised, and then whispered: "If you can really use me at that time. I can let the Lanyumen disciples among Xiong Xiao's two mountain people act as internal support, and eliminate Xiong Xiao and the disciples of the three major sects from inside and outside!"

Miao Yi was not talking nonsense about this matter, but his cultivation and strength had reached this point, and the small Donglai Cave could no longer satisfy his desires. It was already to the point where he would have to take action against Xiong Xiao sooner or later.

He came to Lanyumen after many considerations. It was not a whim. Finding out the whereabouts of the second and third brothers was only one of the reasons. He had not expected to get the news of the third brother so quickly before, so the plan changed slightly.

Another important purpose was, as Tong Renmei guessed, to come to Lanyumen to have a secret talk about borrowing people. He wanted to see what Lanyumen meant first.

The reason why he decisively left Hong Changhai aside before might not be because he found that Hong Changhai's current strength in Lanyumen did not meet his requirements after the talk. He did not have the time or the obligation to slowly help Hong Changhai restore his original status.

Again, the relationship between you and me, Hong Changhai, is not that good. Both parties are just using each other. If I, Miao Yi, have no value, you, Hong Changhai, will probably not even pay attention to me. Naturally, I have to find someone more powerful to talk to.

Some things are very realistic. Real problems should be treated realistically.

In the courtyard, the two whispered to each other under the moon and conspired for a long time. After meeting the needs of both parties, Tong Renmei arched to Miao Yi with a little excitement and quickly turned and left.

Walking to the front yard, Tong Renmei saw the two female disciples who were still nervous. She stopped and nodded with appreciation, saying, "The distinguished guest is very satisfied with your service. You did a good job. Go back and find Elder Tang to increase the resources you will get in the sect by one level."

The distinguished guest is very satisfied? The two women were stunned. Before they could figure out what was going on, Tong Renmei had already walked away quickly...

Not long after, Tong Renmei, who came out of the main hall after discussing with the master, quickly summoned twenty Blue Jade Sect disciples to lecture, including two Qinglian first-grade, one Qinglian second-grade, and even a fourth-grade Qinglian. He is a disciple of the seventh grade of White Lotus, and the others are all monks of the seventh grade of White Lotus and above.

After the lecture, Tong Renmei specifically told the fourth-grade Qinglian disciple: "Tian Qingfeng, your safety is of great importance to our Blue Jade Sect. You must ensure your safety during this trip. If anything happens to you, Let me ask you!"

"Yes!" The fourth-grade Qinglian disciple named Tian Qingfeng accepted the order.

Soon, Tong Renmei led a group of people to meet Miao Yi and introduced the manpower she brought to Miao Yi.

Such an escort lineup was much more powerful than Miao Yi's Donglai Cave, which made him very satisfied.

As soon as more than 20 people stepped onto the dragon colt, Hong Changhai, who ran out of nowhere when he heard the commotion, quickly flashed over. He stopped in front of Miao Yi's horse and said anxiously: "Sir, where are you going? Maybe you'll be back tomorrow?"

He was still hinting that he would reply to Miao Yi before the sun goes down tomorrow.

"Elder Hong, I don't have time to wait until the sun sets tomorrow, get out of my way!"

Miao Yi sitting on Heitan. He said a cold word and gave him a heads-up, which was so unceremonious that it made Hong Changhai stay where he was, with a chill in his heart.

Reprimanding Hong Changhai so mercilessly in front of all the Lan Yumen disciples already made the accompanying Lan Yumen disciples' hearts tremble. Coupled with the aura of superiority in Miao Yi's tone, many people stopped being scornful.

After all, there are many people among them who have higher cultivation than Miao Yi, so some slights are inevitable.

Now I find that they don't even pay attention to the elders of Lan Yumen, just like lecturing their grandchildren, so naturally they are even worse.

However, this is the effect Miao Yi wanted to create deliberately.

Don't blame Miao Yi for feeling sorry for Hong Changhai. This trip will be long and long. If you take a group of people who don't listen to orders on the road, it will definitely be a headache, not to mention the dangers.

Hong Changhai ran out at this time, and he just used it to establish his authority!

Success sometimes means not only stepping on other people's corpses, but also stepping on other people's shoulders to move forward. There is no mercy!

"Senior brother, what are you doing? Why are you blocking the adult's way?" Tong Renmei on the side stepped forward. He pulled Hong Changhai away from where he was.

Under the pouring moonlight, Miao Yi looked forward coldly. Sitting down, Hei Tan suddenly sprinted out, followed immediately by twenty riders behind him.

Tong Renmei, who was watching the farewell, looked back at Hong Changhai who left in despair and loneliness, and then looked back at the group of cavalry rumbling away. She couldn't help but sigh to Zhan Lisong and Tang Yue who were standing beside her: "This guy is quite capable. He is a man who can make things happen!”

Twenty-one riders rode over the mountains and ridges under the moonlight.

The two cavalrymen, who had experience in traveling long distances and were familiar with the road, led the way from the left and right in front, with Miao Yi lagging behind in the middle, followed by eighteen cavalrymen rumbled behind.

From moonlit night to morning light. Until dawn, non-stop all the way.

Five days later, this group of people had run out of the Zhenyi Hall and found a stream and valley with water to rest.

It doesn't matter if they sit on the dragon colt and ride for several days without rest. The key is that the dragon colt can't bear it. After five days of non-stop running, Longju is still made of flesh and blood, and no matter how talented he is, he still needs to rest.

Longju relaxed, rested, ate, and drank from the stream. Heitan waggled his tail and caught fish along the stream, but he didn't feel tired at all.

Miao Yi sat cross-legged and meditated on a big rock by the stream. The Lan Yumen disciples spread out half of the way around to take turns to guard him. When they arrived, they were repeatedly told that protecting Miao Yi's safety during this trip was the first priority.

This rest only lasts for one day, and Longju's physical strength cannot recover even if the time is too short.

At dawn the next day, the group set out on the road again. After a few days, they finally ran out of Chen Road.

Not two days after entering Shenlu territory, the road was blocked by a magnificent river. It was almost impossible to see the edge. This was the first time for Miao Yi to see such a wide river on land and look at it.

Everyone communicated for a while, and when they were about to dismount and let the dragon colt swim across the river, the people were flying across the water, but unexpectedly, a team of flying dragon colts rumbled along the river bank.

There were only about ten people, each holding a weapon and walking behind everyone with eager eyes. The leader came out and pointed at them and shouted: "Who are you and why are you wandering here?"

When Miao Yi looked at the opponent's formation, he guessed that it was also a group of men and horses, so he rode out on Heitan to answer, "Chen Lu Donglai Dong came here on an order to run an errand. I wonder who my friend is from?"

"Do you have any proof?" the other party asked.

Miao Yi took out a jade appointment slip and threw it over. This was the appointment slip when he was the master of Donglai Cave. Qin Weiwei didn't ask him to take it back for some unknown reason. Naturally, Yan Xiu would not say this, but now he sent Used.

After receiving it and looking at it, the other party confirmed Miao Yi's identity, waved to his subordinates to relax their vigilance, and stepped forward to meet and communicate with Miao Yi.

PS: Another small explosion in the third update, thanks to 'xuchangling' for the reward. I have fulfilled a promise, and I am asking for some monthly votes to give me some energy to continue to explode tomorrow! !
