"Your Highness, are you... are you alright?" Upon seeing Princess Qinghe, Luo Nairong burst into tears.
"Alright, alright, what's with all the crying, you're a grown man?" Although Qinghe knew that Luo Nairong's marriage to her had been ruined by Wang Yao, she still felt extremely embarrassed to see Luo Nairong's genuine emotions and his involuntary outburst.
"You go back and untie him," Qinghe said fiercely to Wang Yao as she turned her head.
"Now that everyone is here, let's talk. From the welcome banquet to the massacre at this guesthouse, what were you all planning?" Qiao Bushi closed the meeting room door, sat down, and spoke slowly.
“Chief Qiao, that’s not right. Although our Mao clan is the host of this welcome banquet, we are unaware of the anomalies at the banquet and the guesthouse. Moreover, some of our clansmen were injured in the incident. We have nothing to explain to you.” Mimi immediately shook her head upon hearing this.
"Then can you explain why Mr. Mi Yun, a top expert of your Mao clan and a level 13 expert, would suddenly appear at my Shu clan's Libin Hotel?" Qiao Bushi asked with a faint smile.
"You still know I'm a level 13 powerhouse. At my level, I can go anywhere in the Holy Domain whenever I want," the burly man in his forties with a buzz cut laughed.
"So, Mr. Mi Yun has come to my Li Hotel for a stroll?" Qiao Bushi said with a smile, staring intently at Mi Yun.
"He's not! He...he stole my treasure!" Qinghe suddenly widened her eyes and pointed at Miyun, shouting.
Although Qinghe didn't see clearly the powerful figure who snatched her metal box, Qiao Bushi made it very clear that a level 13 powerful figure was already a top-tier Void Refinement cultivator and a half-step Integration cultivator. Moreover, he had been to the Libin Hotel, so naturally only he could have snatched the item from her without her noticing.
Seeing that Qinghe directly identified him, Mi Yun didn't bother to deny it. He smiled slightly and closed his eyes.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yao immediately understood. He turned to look at Dujiao and Jifeng. Although these two were responsible for killing demons, they were also tasked with searching for the "Burning Blood Technique." Seeing that the two shook their heads at him, he guessed the reason.
The Mao clan wanted the "Blood Burning Technique" but couldn't forcibly seize it due to their tribal alliance. So they instigated Wang Yao and his group to take action, while the Mao clan ambushed top experts to watch from the sidelines, ready to seize the treasure as soon as they succeeded.
But... this is because Qinghe obtained the "Blood Burning Technique". If it were obtained by the two Ghost Kings, Miyun, although she is slightly higher in level than the two Ghost Kings, might not be able to snatch the technique so easily. In the end, it is because the holder of the treasure is a spirit.
Without Wang Yao's involvement in the marriage, the spirit body is a troublesome opponent. Whether it's the Ghost King or Mi Yun, it would take a lot of effort to subdue it. It seems that Mi Yun must have some secret method to hide her figure and quickly steal things.
Wang Yao recalled the chaotic scene when Mi Yun appeared and immediately understood. It seemed that the Mao Clan was not pinning their hopes on Qing He obtaining the treasure, but rather planning to take advantage of the opportunity when the two Ghost Kings were exposed to the spirit body, and use Mi Yun's unique secret method to fish in troubled waters.
In other words, Mi Yun should have had the means to snatch the treasure from the spirit, but in order not to expose herself, she first had the two ghost kings attract the spirit's attention, and then Mi Yun used magic to snatch it, thus confirming that the treasure was in the hands of the ghost kings.
If the monkey tribe wanted to pursue the matter, they would have to fight to the death with the underworld, while the Mao tribe could take the secret technique and make a fortune in silence. What a brilliant plan! But unexpectedly, the secret manual was inexplicably obtained by Qinghe, forcing Miyun to snatch it from Qinghe by force, which in turn exposed her.
“Mr. Mimi, your Mao clan is not very ethical…” Wang Yao realized what was going on and his anger flared up. You clearly said you didn’t want the secret techniques, yet you said that stealing the secret manual was just to incite the Shu clan and the tribal alliance to turn against each other.
As it turned out, these wicked cats were up to nothing but framing and slander. No one could feel good about that; a dignified immortal like himself had been tricked by a bunch of cat demons.
"Lord Yue Lao, I have already contacted the clan. The clan has agreed to ensure the safe passage of the Heavenly Court's team through the Mao Clan. If anything goes wrong, the Heavenly Court will hold the Mao Clan responsible. Let's cooperate with each other and not hold grudges over such minor matters, shall we?"
Mimi was very shrewd; as soon as she sensed that Wang Yao's tone was off, she immediately interrupted him.
"Mimi, when did your Mao clan start cooperating with the Heavenly Court?" Before Mimi could finish speaking, Luo Nairong asked in astonishment.
"Right now, isn't the situation today obvious?" Mimi smiled faintly.
"What's so obvious?" Luo Nairong still didn't understand.
“Besides my Mao clan, the Tashu clan, and your Qingqiu clan, all the members of the delegation are dead. Actually, it didn’t have to be so many. As long as Qianqiu is dead, do you think that old monkey Qianmian would let us go?” Mimi said frankly with a smile.
"Unless all of us here die, who can say for sure? While the old monkey still needs some time to find out about this, everyone should quickly inform the clan to prepare for war. Your Liang clan is alright in Dongchuan, but the other Qingqiu branches will be in trouble."
"Hey, you stole my things and won't give them back, what are you talking about with the Liang tribe?" Qinghe slammed her hand on the table and shouted, seeing that the topic had changed and even Wang Yao was silent.
"Don't rush, let's hear what they have to say first." Wang Yao hurriedly tugged at Qinghe. For Wang Yao, the safety of Fairy Caixia and her group was naturally the most important thing. As long as the Mao Clan could guarantee their safety, the "Blood Burning Technique" was not a big deal.
"No! Princess, our Liang tribe must not get involved in this matter." Qinghe turned her head and glanced at Wang Yao with dissatisfaction, about to say something more, but unexpectedly Luo Nairong had already stood up and looked at Qinghe with a serious expression.
