Chapter 100: The Snowy South Edict (6)
“Second Grade Transcendent Artifact!”
“Despicable! To actually rely on a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact to obtain victory!”
“Was it not despicable for two to fight against one?”
“They were the ones that combined forces first, was it wrong to counter-attack?”
The crowd of spectators began to accuse one another.
Yang Qing on the other hand didn’t seem like he cared, he still had a smile on his face, and
announced, “No need to compete anymore, the other two shall take second place together, as
it’s a tie you both can divide the ten Orbs of Will equally.”
After he finished saying this he turned his dragon steed around, then turned his head and went
on ahead, a certain someone’s cloak looking very fashionable on him.
Everyone else had also begun to withdraw, a battle for good omens was meant to be a joyous
occasion, but now it had ended with an argument because of everyone’s bickering.
Fan Renfang and Fang Ziyu had been called to Xiong Xiao alone and were especially nervous;
the both of them cupped their fists and apologized, “We have failed to fulfill the Mountain
Chieftain’s expectations!”
It wasn’t because they didn’t manage to match up with Miao Yi, the other party hadn’t even
wanted to step up even if he was killed, so they had no choice in that matter, and of course
wouldn’t be blamed. The main issue was that the two of them hadn’t even managed to get into
the top twenty, and just lost.
Xiong Xiao chuckled and said benevolently, “No need to take it to heart, these kinds of
competitions are merely a tussle for good omens, don’t take it too seriously. A competition is an
ordinary situation, when the time comes for a battle to the death, where the victor lives and the
loser dies, how could a placing in a competition hold any weight?”
The two of them hastily thanked the Mountain Chieftain for his benevolence.
He did not believe that with two White Lotus Fifth Grade cultivators joining forces, that the brat
would still be able to escape.
The men from Mount Calming Sea that were in South Edict Manor had already been gathered
by Qin Weiwei; the one that had taken second place in the competition, Gongsun Yu, was the
last to arrive, walking into the courtyard after changing into a set of clean clothes.
This man didn’t look too old, his appearance was dignified as if he carried a certain loftiness.
As soon as he came in, Gongsun Yu immediately asked for her forgiveness as Qin Weiwei stood
with her hands behind her, stating how he had disappointed her. The way he looked at Qin
Weiwei was a little strange.
On the other hand, Miao Yi was transmitting a message to his subordinates to the side, “I feel as
though the way this Cave Master Gongsun is looking at that vil… at Mountain Chieftain is a bit
strange, there’s definitely something nasty going on between them!”
Zheng Jinlong tried to restrain his laughter, it seemed that this Cave Master really did not take
too kindly to the Mountain Chieftain, so he replied his message, “Cave Master is really in the
thought to themselves, ‘No wonder the Cave Master called this woman a vile woman, she was
vile indeed!’
Qin Weiwei couldn’t be bothered with Miao Yi’s feelings, and turned around to continue
speaking to Gongsun Yu, “Manor Head has ordered for the respective Mountain Chieftains to
bring two capable subordinates and deliver the annual tributes of South Edict Manor, I had
originally wanted to bring you along, but now you’re hurt….”
She hadn’t even finished before Gongsun Yu immediately cupped his fists and asked for his
orders, “It’s just a minor wound, nothing to fret about; your subordinate is willing to serve like a
dog or a horse. Please allow me to follow you Mountain Chieftain!”
‘A treacherous couple!’ Miao Yi cursed to himself.
Qin Weiwei expressed her doubts for a while, but upon Gongsun Yu’s insistence, she agreed in
the end.
She turned around and ordered the rest, “The rest of the troops should return to their respective
territories.”
“Yes!” Everyone obeyed and dispersed.
After throwing a furtive look over and seeing the unhappy Miao Yi, Qin Weiwei was in contrast,
feeling extremely ecstatic deep down!
The troops and Cave Masters of the various mountains, a large force, all departed from South
Edict Manor one after the other.
The respective Cave Masters of Mount Calming Sea probably pretended to be courteous to Miao
Yi out of respect for Yang Qing, but they still had to travel together for a period of time on their
way back from Mount Calming Sea. When the time came to leave and everyone began forming
groups, no one had invited Miao Yi along, as they clearly didn’t recognise him as being on the
Approximately two hundred li away from South Edict Manor, three horses charged forth on the
pathway.
The three riders did not make any sort of conversation the entire way, and only rushed forward
with heavy hearts; Zheng Jinlong and Wang Zifa knew that their Cave Master was not in a good
mood, so they kept quiet.
Under the cold skies and on frozen grounds, no one else could be seen on their journey. The
three of them dashed on their dragon steeds to the edge of a narrow path between two
mountains, when all of them suddenly stopped.
