Heaven Slaying Blade

Miao Yi Niang looked at Sun Yifei in disbelief, almost too heartbroken to speak.

The feeling of being calculated and betrayed by the senior sister she had respected since childhood was bitter and spread through Miao Yi Niang's heart.

"Yiniang, let me be honest with you. Piaomiao Palace... no longer exists. There is no capacity in the twelve of us to rebuild it. None of the sects across the entire Vermilion Bird Continent will ever allow the name of Piaomiao Palace to resurface in this world," Sun Yifei stated indifferently. She looked at Miao Yi Niang and continued, "I believe you understand this. Being able to operate the Gluttonous Pavilion into the top tavern in the Great Xia, you must be smarter and more outstanding than I thought."

"Even if we can't rebuild, does that mean we must betray?" Miao Yi Niang asked Sun Yifei.

Sun Yifei scoffed with a wave of disdain flashing across her beautiful face, "What do you mean by betrayal? Who did I betray? You? Or Piaomiao Palace? Piaomiao Palace has already become a thing of the past... history. How can there be betrayal? The reason we found you today is just one of our goals- you carry the inheritance."

"What else... do you want to do?" Miao Yi Niang asked, her emotions suddenly stabilizing. A faint mockery spread across her delicate face, "Are you interested in the business of the Gluttonous Pavilion or in me?"

"Miao Yi Niang, I hope you understand your current situation. Yifei was frank with you because she considers you her junior sister. But that doesn't mean that you can challenge us," the still disguised man intervened.

"Being frank with me and considering me as her junior sister?" Miao Yi Niang showed an odd smile and nodded, "Senior Sister Yifei, I want to hear from you."

Sun Yifei nodded and said earnestly, "Firstly, you've seen the inheritance yourself and it holds no significance in our hands! Without the support of a sect, it's nearly impossible for people like us to advance. After all these years, you've only broken through to the Primordial Pass stage, right?"

Miao Yi Niang nodded without saying anything.

"So, it would be better to make this inheritance public and to glorify it!" Sun Yifei stated.

Miao Yi Niang smiled and said, "So you mean to glorify it in the hands of the enemy?"

"They are not our enemies," Sun Yifei glanced at the man beside her, a sweet expression on her face, "They did not partake in besieging Piaomiao Palace. That's the second thing I wanted to tell you- I hope you will follow in my footsteps and join the Vermillion Bird Association."

"Vermillion Bird Association?" Miao Yi Niang furrowed her brows. The name of this organization was unfamiliar to her. But something about it made her feel like it was very aggressive. In the Vermilion Bird Continent, anyone bold enough to name their organization Vermillion Bird Association was either ignorant of death or very self-confident.

"Yes, the Vermillion Bird Association. It's the strongest power in the entire Vermilion Bird Continent. If you truly want to seek revenge, joining the Vermillion Bird Association may give you a chance," Sun Yifei looked at Miao Yi Niang, "Additionally, I can introduce you to a powerful man- a man who can truly protect you, not some worthless guy."

As she spoke, Sun Yifei glanced at Chu Mo. From the very beginning, neither Sun Yifei nor the man beside her paid any attention to Chu Mo and Chu Yan. It was as if the two of them didn't exist in their eyes.

"And then?" Miao Yi Niang's gaze flashed with a dangerous light. Those who knew her would understand - Miao Yi Niang was angry!

She could endure any verbal insults thrown at her, but she couldn't tolerate any insults towards Chu Mo.

"And then... absorb your Gluttonous Pavilion into the Vermillion Bird Association? You don't have to worry about losing your business. It'll still be yours! You'll still keep twenty percent of the profits!" Sun Yifei stated with a face full of good intentions, "Don't think you're being treated unfairly. Even though you're handing over eighty percent of the profits, you get a vast amount of resources from the Vermillion Bird Association in return. You should understand, resources... in this mundane world, are priceless."

The man beside Sun Yifei followed up, "Given that we have the confidence to propose this to you, it means we not only have absolute faith but also enough strength! Miao Yi Niang, think about it yourself. The Azure Dragon Hall doesn't mean anything to us...."

The man seemed to think he'd said too much and closed his mouth.

Chu Mo and Miao Yi Niang, however, heard a key phrase- Azure Dragon Hall!

The Vermilion Bird Continent has the Vermilion Bird Association, and the Azure Dragon Continent has the Azure Dragon Hall. No one could tell which force is stronger, but they were certainly boastful.

Miao Yi Niang looked at Sun Yifei and asked flatly, "So, the Bronze Medicine King Ding we bid for today was also deliberately released by you?"

Sun Yifei smiled faintly and nodded honestly, "Yes, otherwise, how could such a treasure be easily brought out? The Bronze Medicine King Ding has been with me. Over these years, you've changed a lot. Although your general appearance hasn't changed, the details have changed quite a bit. You're even more beautiful than before! I could only identify you using the Bronze Medicine King Ding, haha... No disciples from Piaomiao Palace wouldn't recognize this treasure."

"How were you so sure that I would definitely go?" Miao Yi Niang asked.

Sun Yifei laughed and replied, "Actually, I wasn't entirely certain. Our primary reason for coming was because of the sudden appearance of a large number of Primordial Beast materials in the auction. A few of these materials are in high demand in the major sects. So, we wanted to bid for some to take back. And we weren't the only ones from this power that came. Many sects on the Azure Dragon Continent have also sent people."

"So, confirming my identity was an extra reward for you?" Miao Yi Niang asked indifferently.

"No, our main goal was to find you. Even though the Primordial Beast materials are rare, they aren't as important as you. After all, there's only one Piaomiao Palace inheritance! However, Primordial Beast materials will always be available eventually," Sun Yifei stated earnestly.

Miao Yi Niang smirked, "So, I should feel honored, right? Senior Sister Yifei... I'll call you that one last time, do you think your actions match up to Piaomiao Palace's expectations?"

Sun Yifei sneered, "I only want to satisfy myself!"

"Miao Yi Niang, there's no need to insult. Yifei has already told you about everything. It's time for you to make a decision." The man coldly interjected, "Oh right, please return the Bronze Medicine King Ding first."

"Your... Bronze Medicine King Ding?" Chu Mo, who had been standing quietly not speaking, suddenly laughed. The bronze tripod in his hand vanished instantly. He lifted his head, looked at Sun Yifei and the man across him, shrugged, spread his hands, and said innocently, "It's gone."

"A storage ring?" Sun Yifei's eyes narrowed into a smile, looking at Miao Yi Niang with amusement, "I didn't expect... you would even give such an important item to this pretty boy. On the surface, you seem very devoted to your sect. Interesting! Brother Nan, kill this man first!" (To be continued.
