Main Text Chapter 196: Caught
The night was cold and the ground was frozen in Changfeng Cave.
In the distant mountains and forests, ten riders came slowly and quietly on the snow, and finally stopped at the top of a mountain, looking far away at the place where the lights were dim in the snowy night.
After nightfall, the ten people changed into white clothes.
After watching from a distance for a while, the ten people met and whispered, and their hair was scattered on their shoulders, and their faces were covered with masks.
Things that violate the rules can only be done secretly, and identities cannot be exposed. Miao Yi repeatedly reminded.
Just like when Xiong Xiao wanted to kill him Miao Yi, he could only do it in secret and never dared to play in public.
The leader Lai Yuhan sat on the dragon horse and looked around, then raised his hand and waved.
Three of the riders immediately dispersed, one was a white lotus eighth-grade, seventh-grade and sixth-grade cultivator, and went around the surrounding mountains, and guarded the four directions of Donglai Cave together with this side.
After a little preparation, Lai Yuhan waved his hand and pointed to Changfeng Cave in the mountains.
Behind him were six riders, five White Lotus 5th-rank monks followed by a White Lotus 9th-rank monk, who galloped away at full speed, no longer hiding their whereabouts.
The monk guarding the gate of Changfeng Cave cast a spell upon hearing the sound, and saw six dishevelled masked men riding dragon horses.
Such strange attire, without thinking, was abnormal, and his face changed drastically.
"Woo..." He immediately whistled to alert the police.
As the alarm sounded, figures immediately flashed out of the various cultivation residences in Changfeng Cave, and they quickly prepared to respond.
The monk guarding the gate didn't care about the cultivation level of the intruders. The enemy was outnumbered, and he turned around and ran without saying a word.
But his two legs couldn't outrun the speed of the dragon horse, and the masked man who rushed in the lead cut the ground with a spear.
The powerful magic power cut out like a substance, and the White Lotus 9th-rank monk was the first to take action.
A line of snow slid across the ground, and with a bang, a large piece of land was overturned with snow and soil.
Bang! The fleeing monk who guarded the mountain was directly pressed to the ground, with his head exposed and vomiting blood.
Six riders rushed past him. They did not kill him.
Seeing this strength, the monk who was pressed to the ground and vomiting blood immediately knew that the enemy who came was not a good person. This was at least the strength of the fifth rank of White Lotus, and judging from the power of the opponent's attack, it was probably far more than the fifth rank of White Lotus.
The monk simply closed his eyes and pressed to the ground to pretend to be dead.
At this time, the Lord of Changfeng Cave had already organized his men and rushed to fight, shouting from afar. "Who is coming? How dare you invade my Changfeng Cave!"
There was no response from this side, and they directly collided with the other side's men and horses.
The masked man in the lead directly fought with the Lord of Changfeng Cave. The former was at ease, but the latter was secretly frightened.
The Lord of Changfeng Cave, who only had the fifth rank of White Lotus, knew that he was far from the opponent's opponent as soon as he fought, and thought it was not good.
But he vaguely found that the other party did not seem to have the intention to kill him. A shot knocked the weapon in his hand away, and the raised spear smashed down, directly splitting the head of his mount, and did not continue to chase him who turned back to avoid, but took a jade tablet in his hand to examine his men one by one.
It should be noted that the six masked men here, except for the white lotus ninth rank who was the leader, the other five have the strength comparable to the Changfeng Cave Master. How can the people in Changfeng Cave stop them?
Amid the rumbling sound, the stone slabs flew around under the strangulation of magic power, and the snowflakes danced wildly. The people in Changfeng Cave were killed almost instantly.
The strange thing is that although the opponent came fiercely and beat everyone without the power to resist, he only killed the mount and not the people.
Li Xin and Sun Jiaojiao were also in the melee, and the two still united with Yuan Zhengkun.
Although Yuan Zhengkun also has the strength of the white lotus fifth rank. But he couldn't stand so many people of equal strength joining forces, and secretly complained in his heart. He had just surrendered for a short time, how could he run into this again? What happened to Nanxuan Prefecture? Why is it so uneasy!
Just after blocking the attacking gun, the dragon horse he sat on had already neighed and fell to the ground. Killed by a cold light, Yuan Zhengkun quickly dodged and floated away.
In a short while, all the mounts of the Changfeng Cave people were killed, and everyone retreated. They gathered beside the Changfeng Cave Master.
And the six masked men had raised their guns and rode in a row.
"Who are you? Why did you attack my Changfeng Cave at night!" The Changfeng Cave Master shouted angrily.
Who knew that the monk holding the jade tablet in the lead glanced at everyone, pointed his finger at Yuan Zhengkun and the other two, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's them three! Let them three out, I will spare your lives, otherwise I will kill you without mercy!"
He rode five horses on his left and right, and immediately rushed out and rushed straight to the three people.
Yuan Zhengkun and the other two were startled, and seemed to understand something in an instant.
Why were they only staring at the three of them? It seemed that they didn't need to think too much about who they had a grudge against, and they vaguely guessed the identity of the visitor.
"Let's go!" Yuan Zhengkun screamed, and he and Li Xin and Sun Jiaojiao immediately turned around and fled.
But can they outrun the speed of the dragon horse?
There was a sound of breaking wind behind them, and the three of them quickly waved their guns to resist.
Bang, bang, bang! Three loud noises, the weapons in the hands of Yuan Zhengkun and the other two were either swept away or shaken away.
Immediately after a few bangs, the three were also knocked back by the five dragon horses rushing in the sharp knife formation. This was the end of losing the advantage of the dragon horse.
Even the Qinglian-level cultivators did not dare to withstand the impact of the dragon horse, let alone them.
The impact force of the dragon horse was amazing. The sound of the three people's bones breaking was crisp in the night, and they vomited blood and flew up.
The five people rode the dragon horse to catch up, chased out with guns, pierced the lower abdomen of the three people, raised the gun and swung it, and threw the three people to the ground.
The three fell to the ground, vomiting blood and screaming. The five riders quickly turned around and came. The three were so scared that they covered their bleeding abdomens and screamed, "Surrender! Surrender! Ah..." The five riders came and ignored their surrender. They stabbed with their spears and completely destroyed the three people's resistance. The three bodies that were still wailing were quickly taken away by the three riders. "Ah..." The masked man with disheveled hair in the lead let out a long howl in the snowy night, sending a signal to the four people guarding the four directions to prevent the surrounding mountains from escaping. Then he turned the dragon horse and turned around quickly, and the five riders behind him quickly followed. They really kept their promise and did not attack others. And the people in Changfeng Cave were intimidated by the masked man in the lead, and no one dared to attack again, because the other party really had the ability to kill them without mercy! Besides, the grudge between Xiong Xiao and Miao Yi was known to both governments. After Yuan Zhengkun and the other two were assigned to his subordinates, the owner of Changfeng Cave was vaguely worried that Miao Yi, the madman, would come for revenge. Miao Yi dared to confront Xiong Xiao, so why would he be afraid of a Changfeng Cave?
As expected... The Lord of Changfeng Cave gnashed his teeth and said, "Needless to say, it must be the work of that madman Miao Yi. I heard that he recruited 20 masters in Donglai Cave, and today he actually used them on my Changfeng Cave. Damn it!"
Someone immediately asked, "Lord, do you want to chase them?"
The Lord of Changfeng Cave turned around and spit on him, "What are you chasing? We don't even have mounts, what can we chase? Even if we catch up, do you really think they dare not kill people to silence them? We can't afford such a thing. Let the Lord of the Mountain deal with it!"
When the ten riders met in the snowy forest late at night, Lai Yuhan grabbed the hair of the three wailing people to identify their true bodies, and waved his hand, "Go!"
The ten riders immediately rumbled away...
The next afternoon, the ten riders who had crossed mountains and ridges and took wild roads all the way finally returned to Donglai Cave.
Lai Yuhan jumped off the dragon horse and let it go and quickly rushed to the outside of the Lord of the Cave's shack, just in time to run into the Great Lord of the Cave Miao who was practicing and hearing the noise.
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes and looked at the foot of the mountain after walking out of the door. He sneered, "Is the matter done?"
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have captured him."
Lai Yuhan clasped his fists and reported, following Miao Yi down the mountain.
"Is it going well?"
"Very well."
"Didn't you kill the other people in Changfeng Cave?"
"No, according to the cave master's order, most of them were injured, and no one was killed."
"Well done! It's just that Xiong Xiao, that bastard, got an advantage. I'm waiting for him to find trouble with me!" Miao Yi sneered.
It feels so good to have people under my command to do things without having to take risks myself.
According to his temper. He wished he could kill all of Xiong Xiao's men and let Xiong Xiao have a taste of being a lone mountain master.
But that's unrealistic. Even if the killing was done cleanly, if all of Xiong Xiao's men were killed, it would not be a trivial matter. Nanxuan Prefecture would have to investigate thoroughly. When the responsibility was found, I'm afraid Yang Qing would not let Miao Yi look bad.
But since you, Xiong Xiao, could do the first day, I, Miao Yi, can do the fifteenth now. Didn't you, Xiong Xiao, send your subordinates to kill me in masks and refused to admit it even when you were caught?
Now I will also send masked men to you to mess around. If I don't kill other people, I will arrest Yuan Zhengkun and the other two. I want you, Xiong Xiao, to know that it was me who did it. Then I will also refuse to admit it. What can you do to me without evidence? Can you still put the blame on me?
Back then, Yang Qing sent Qingju to pass on the message. If one day he, Miao Yi, can replace Xiong Xiao's position in Nanxuan Prefecture. Yang Qing will let him sit on Xiong Xiao's territory.
Miao Yi only hates that his cultivation is a little low, and he doesn't have enough people and horses. His foundation is weak, and he is not enough to sit on Xiong Xiao's territory.
To put it another way, it is impossible to let a cultivator of the third rank of Bailian be the mountain master. Being the cave master is already a stretch.
If it weren't so, Miao Yi would have led his men to grab the territory openly without saying anything, and directly killed Xiong Xiao.
But he really wanted to kill Xiong Xiao, but he couldn't openly provoke disputes within Nanxuan Prefecture.
It's okay to provoke disputes, but the key is that you have to be able to end it, for example, you can immediately control Xiong Xiao's territory after killing him.
Otherwise, you can't kill Xiong Xiao and leave a mess, and then let the lord of the palace Yang Qing honestly help you clean up the mess, and then appoint a powerful person to clean up Xiong Xiao's territory.
That's unrealistic. If Yang Qing really does this, let alone whether others will suspect that it was Yang Qing's instigation, it will mess up people's hearts, and first of all, the rules will definitely be messed up.
In the future, whoever has a grudge against whom can do this? After doing it, let you, Yang Qing, clean up the mess? Otherwise, why can you let Miao Yi do this, but not us?
Can Yang Qing clean up such a mess? So there must be rules!
Therefore, Miao Yi deliberately exposed himself to let Xiong Xiao know that he was the one who did it, hoping to provoke Xiong Xiao to cause trouble.
If Xiong Xiao came to the door first, then no one could say anything to him if he was killed. Let's all follow the rules!
