He actually took it seriously! Miao Yi waved his hand and said, "Since it's troublesome, then forget it. I really don't want to trouble you. It's better if Miao Cun accompany us for a walk …" Scholar Pu Lan's identity was too eye-catching. It would attract too much attention if the two of them traveled together. Miao Yi didn't want to attract too much attention.
Previously, he didn't know why Pu Lan had his eyes on him, so he couldn't refuse. Now that Pu Lan said they were friends, he didn't mind forcefully rejecting him.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Pu Lan, it was just that he was no longer the Niu Youde that Pu Lan had known long ago. The current Niu Youde had long since lost the innocence of the past. It was better to be on guard against things that he could be on guard against. It was impossible for him to believe everything Pu Lan said, and he also wouldn't be as hot-blooded as he used to be and become sworn brothers with Yan Beihong.
But then again, there were always gains and losses in some things. He didn't trust others easily, and others wouldn't trust him easily either. No one was a fool, and many things were mutual. It was unlikely that he would be able to befriend someone like Yan Beihong, who he had gone through life and death with. He didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse!
In any case, after Miao Yi repeatedly declined, even though Scholar Pu Lan had good intentions, he could only give up. After exchanging star bells with Miao Yi to keep in touch, he said, "I will do my best to arrange the matters of the Spiritual Mountain. I hope I won't disappoint Head Mayor Niu."
Miao Yi's goal wasn't to go to the Spiritual Mountain, but since he was already here, it didn't matter if he could go and experience the place. He was happy to see it happen, so he cupped his fists in thanks regardless of whether it was successful or not.
Not long after Scholar Pu Lan left, Miao Cun appeared again and continued to be in charge of the trip.
When he saw her again, Yan Xiu asked darkly, "It's so hard to invite a Great Master."
Miao Cun wasn't used to Yan Xiu's face. She tried her best not to look at Yan Xiu, and said awkwardly, "It was you who asked about the Head Mayor's situation. I couldn't just ignore you. I didn't expect you to be traveling as well, and you wanted to help me. I had no choice but to comply."
"My Lord has been waiting for you for a long time. Is it so hard to give a reply after exchanging star bells several times? "Yan Xiu chuckled. He was very unhappy that he didn't get a reply after so long.
"Alright!" Miao Yi turned back and scolded him. He signaled Yang Qing to stop talking nonsense that would offend others. In this aspect, Yang Qing was smarter than Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu bowed slightly and shut his mouth.
In the small pavilion on the cliff, Arhat Duo Li was not in a hurry to leave. He sat opposite Arhat Huai Yu, the disciple of the Blue Night Bodhisattva, and enjoyed tea. Huai Yu was a bald female Arhat who could be considered to be acquainted with Arhat Duo Li.
"If I remember correctly, that's your disciple."
Arhat Duo Li asked calmly as he watched Miao Cun accompany Miao Yi and the others into the sky.
Arhat Huai Yu nodded lightly: "Yes, my disciple Miao Cun, is there a problem?"
Duo Li shook his head. "Why are you with Kou Lingxu's son-in-law, Niu Youde?"
Huai Yu: "Those who come are guests. Someone has to receive them."
Duo Li: "Are you sending the guest off?"
Huai Yu said, "It's Niu Youde's first time in the Western Paradise, so he wants to broaden his horizons. My disciple is just accompanying him."
"Oh!" Duo Li asked, "You seem to be in a good mood. Where are you going to travel?"
Huai Yu lifted his sleeve and poured tea. "My disciple doesn't know either. It's his first time here, so he should be going wherever he goes. "
Duo Li: "I heard this Niu Youde is restless and likes to cause trouble. You have to be careful."
Huai Yu: "This isn't the Sky Court after all. It shouldn't be like that. My disciple will report to me if anything happens along the way."
Duo Li nodded and didn't say anything else. He raised his cup and toasted Miao Yi. They sat opposite each other and drank slowly.
However, when the two of them met again the next day to discuss Buddhism and dharma, Duo Li couldn't help but ask another question. "That Niu Youde isn't causing trouble, is he?"
After running around in the vast starry sky for half a month, Miao Cun still didn't know what Miao Yi wanted to see. In any case, Miao Yi took out the star chart and pointed at a random place, then everyone left. As soon as they arrived, they glanced around and immediately changed locations. It really did look like they were traveling.
But in reality, Miao Yi's goal was simple. He was here for the Six Great Mystical Arts, the Heavenly Division. His goal was simple as well. He couldn't go straight to the destination for fear of arousing suspicion. The best way was to pass by the destination and pick up the things along the way. This was the most appropriate way to do it without anyone noticing. Therefore, he naturally had to look like he was on a tour.
Night fell. Under the setting sun, five monks descended from the sky and landed on top of a mountain peak. The colorful lotus images on their foreheads faded away.
The leader monk, Yun Zhao, looked around and sighed. "I wonder how long we'll have to wait this time. Let's look around and find a suitable place to stay for the time being."
The three monks split up to search in three different directions. The one standing behind him was his Junior Brother, Yun Ming.
Yun Ming stepped forward and stood next to them. He frowned and said, "He ran away again! His tracks are unpredictable. We can't figure out where he's going. When we arrive, they leave. We don't even know where they're going. When we get the news, we run again, but they're gone again. Senior Brother, when will we ever stop chasing after him like this? "
Yun Zhao also felt rather helpless. He sighed and said, "Traveling, traveling. That fellow is really traveling. Now, we can only take it slow. It's impossible for him to keep going. There will come a time when he stops."
Yun Ming gritted his teeth. "Senior Brother, you've been saying that all along the way. But who knows when he'll rest? What if he gets bored and leaves the Western Paradise?"
Yun Zhao tilted his head and said meaningfully, "It might not be a bad thing if he leaves just like that."
Yun Ming was taken aback. "Then how are we going to explain this to Master?"
Yun Zhao said, "Master knows the situation. He can't blame us."
Yun Ming frowned. "Senior Brother, I know what you mean. It's not wise to make a move on Niu Youde. After all, with Kou Tianwang's background, if something goes wrong and Kou Tianwang gets angry, the consequences will be unimaginable! However, Master has already made it clear that we have no choice but to make a move. Master can't let an outsider he doesn't trust do this. If the Ying Clan has something on us and Master doesn't give us an explanation, once the Ying Clan reveals what happened to Master, Spiritual Mountain won't let us go. "
Yun Zhao said, "If we really do this, then the Ying family will really have something to use against us. I think we should get rid of the things on Celestial Street as soon as possible. Without any evidence, the Ying Clan won't be able to do anything to us. "
"Senior Brother!" Yun Ming put his palms together and sighed. "That's easy for you to say. Master has so many disciples. Without cultivation resources, how are we going to survive? Moreover, if the Ying Clan dares to threaten us with this, do you think we can cut off Celestial Street just because we want to? I'm afraid they already have enough evidence in their hands. Secondly, if we really help the Ying Clan with this, we'll really be free. The Ying Clan won't dare to threaten us with this anymore. Once this matter is exposed, whether it's the Kou Clan, the Heavenly Court or Spiritual Mountain, the Ying Clan won't be able to explain themselves. On the other hand, the Ying Clan can throw out the Celestial Street incident without any scruples when they have nothing to do with us. I'm sure Master has thought of this before he agreed. Otherwise, Master isn't stupid, he won't let others lead him by the nose. "
Yun Zhao pondered over his junior brother's words and finally nodded. "Junior Brother's words make sense. It seems like we can only succeed and not fail. Unfortunately, we can't confirm the news from Master. It's indeed troublesome to follow us like this. We can't be too open about our whereabouts, we even have to avoid people when we land."
Yun Ming smiled bitterly. "Master has no choice. He can't ask too directly with Arhat Huai Yu, otherwise it'll arouse suspicion. Once it's exposed, it'll be hard not to suspect Master. Senior Brother, don't worry. I'm being too impatient. We can only take things slowly and not rush. It's fine if we don't make a move, but if we do, we have to hit the nail on the head. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if our identities are exposed. Senior Brother's words make sense. I don't believe he can keep running. There'll be a time when he stops to rest. When that time comes, it'll be our chance. "
Yun Zhao nodded, his brows furrowed with worry. "Niu Youde is a fierce general of the Heavenly Court. Countless people have died in his hands. When he was only at the Golden Lotus realm, he could single-handedly kill his way through an army of a million soldiers. Even if he was thrown into the Desolate Wastelands, he could still come back alive. After that, he even led the Half-Tiger Banner to defeat an elite army of a million soldiers. Rumor has it that he killed so many Rainbow Lotus cultivators that no one dared to face him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become Heavenly King Kou's son-in-law. Niu Youde has survived hundreds of battles and has never tasted defeat for many years. He's a fierce general who killed his way through the corpses of others. His reputation is well-deserved. I'm a little worried that the five of us won't be able to subdue him. "
Yun Ming comforted him, "Senior Brother, you're worrying too much. The so-called 'three in and three out' in the Purgatory is just a motley crew. The Half-Tiger Banner defeated an elite army of a million soldiers. I admit that he does have some ability, but it's also because he commanded them well and relied on the power of the Mystic Breaking Bow. Otherwise, you'd let him try fighting alone again. Besides, it's not like Master didn't think of this. The transcendent artifact he bestowed upon us won't be a problem to destroy him. This time, the five of us will definitely send him to the afterlife! "
Yun Zhao nodded and gazed at the blood-red setting sun. "Once Niu Youde dies, Kou Lingxu will have to answer for it. I'm afraid the Western Paradise will be in chaos for a while."
Two days later, the five of them who were hiding in a cave in the mountain range opened their eyes one after another in the darkness. The four of them looked at Yun Zhao, who was holding the Star Bell in his hand and communicating with an unknown place.
After a while, Yun Zhao, who had kept the Star Bell, stood up. The other four had their suspicions and stood up as well. Yun Ming asked, "Senior Brother, where are we going this time?"
As Yun Zhao walked out of the cave, he answered, "Planet Huilin."
After the few of them walked out of the cave, Yun Ming looked behind him and realized that one person was missing. He shouted, "Yun Guang, what are you waiting for? If we rush there at full speed, we might bump into them and stay there for a day or two. "
The few of them looked back and saw Yun Guang walking out slowly. With slight hesitation, he said, "I'm afraid he's going to leave again. Even if we rush there, we might not be able to make it in time. I have a way to make him stay and wait for us to rush there."
"Oh!" Yun Ming turned around. "If you have a way, why didn't you say so earlier?"
