Hearing Chen Luoyang's order, Lao Shou was obviously stunned for a moment before replying respectfully, "I will obey the Hierarch's order."
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Luoyang, "Does the Hierarch mean that the Sword Pavilion Master is on that island?"
Chen Luoyang said indifferently, "That's right."
Lao Shou secretly clicked his tongue.
As the Hierarch's personal servant, he, Jingang, and the others actually had a certain information channel. They were one of the few important sources of information that the Hierarch knew about the world without leaving home.
Previously, the whereabouts and recent situation of the Sword Pavilion Master, Tao Wangji had always been one of the few things that the Devil religion had been searching for the most.
Whether it was the intelligence system of Blue Dragon Hall and White Tiger Hall, Xiao Yuntian, or Lao Shou, they were all constantly searching for the Sword Pavilion Master's whereabouts.
Even after the battle of Nanyun Mountain, when the Devil religion repelled the attack of the Central Demon-Fighting Coalition Army, they did not relax their search for the Sword King.
Even after the battle between the Demon Emperor and the Saber Emperor, when the Devil religion had swept across the Divine Land, the intelligence collection in this area was still ongoing.
After all, he was Emperor Wu of the Fourteenth Realm, one of the Three Emperors who had previously stood at the top of the Divine Land.
Even if he was injured, he could not be careless.
After all, not everyone in the Devil religion had the divine power of the Hierarch, who was fearless of all challenges.
According to the Sword King's usual style in the past, everyone believed that he would not pick on the weak, and would not do something like avoiding the Demon Emperor and attacking the others of the Devil religion.
But it was better to be safe than sorry.
Who knew whether this former mainstay of the Divine Land would change his mind after the drastic change of the situation in the vast land of the Divine Land?
Especially since he had five disciples, master and apprentice were as close as a family.
Two of them had died in the hands of the Demon Emperor, and two more were seriously injured.
The sword boy who had followed him since he was a child was also killed.
This might provoke the Demon Emperor.
Therefore, the Devil religion would not turn a blind eye to such a hidden danger, so it had been hard for the Sword King to find the Sword King.
However, although he had learned from Shi Jing that the Sword Emperor had gone out to sea to search for the Pill Empress, the Outer Sea was a vast expanse of water. It would be difficult for the Sword Emperor to find the Pill Empress, but it would be equally difficult for others to find the Sword Emperor.
It was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Thus, until now, the Devil Cult's intelligence network still had limited information on the whereabouts of the Sword Emperor.
What was worth mentioning was that in the process of the Devil Cult defeating the Alien Tribe, sweeping across the prairie, and constantly killing and capturing the Alien Tribe's experts, they disintegrated the Alien Tribe's intelligence network. They were also paying attention to the Sword Emperor's whereabouts, but unfortunately, they also lacked valuable information.
Therefore, when Old Shou heard Chen Luoyang's words, he could not help but be stunned for a moment.
"How did the Hierarch know about the Sword King's whereabouts?"
"He, Xiao Yuntian, and Blue Dragon Hall are independent of each other and don't know each other's progress and details."
"But when it comes to the Sword King's whereabouts, everyone has a tacit understanding with each other. If someone found something, they would more or less see some clues."
"But there was no news about it before."
Who was it that had discovered it and purposely covered up the news so tightly this time?
"Is this a special signal that the Hierarch has some new ideas?"
At this moment, Lao Shou's heart involuntarily felt as if fifteen buckets of water were being drawn.
He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately bowed to Chen Luoyang. "I'll go to Bazhou now and deliver the horizontal board to that island."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully and quickly retreated.
Chen Luoyang looked at him again.
"Is Lao Shou going to deliver it personally?"
He thought the other party would find someone else to run errands for him.
"This job is obviously a provocation." Chen Luoyang felt that if he were the Sword King, he would first kill the bastard who sent the letter to provoke him, regardless of whether he agreed or not.
The only situation that could make him hesitate was if the other party found an ordinary fisherman or boatman who didn't know anything to run errands for him.
"As the mainstay of the righteous, the Sword King wouldn't make things difficult for an ordinary mortal."
"But looking at Lao Shou's reaction now, I don't know if he's anxious to show his loyalty, or if he's so confident in the Sword King's character?"
Chen Luoyang shook his head and collected his scattered thoughts.
His attention was now focused on the Sword King, Tao Wangji.
Or to be precise, it was focused on Tao Wangji and Cheng Huyuan.
The question Chen Luoyang was thinking about at the moment was whether the Sword King, Tao Wangji, had recovered or not.
This matter was actually quite important.
If Tao Wangji hadn't recovered the strength of the Fourteenth Realm, then Hierarch Chen's next plan against Cheng Huyuan wouldn't be so easy. He might have to consider another way.
The goal must be clear.
The goal this time was to lure the snake out of its hole and fish out Cheng Huyuan, who was hiding like a poisonous snake.
In order to make the other party feel at ease, Chen Luoyang needed to prepare a worthy opponent for himself.
Yuwen Feng was dead, Yan Mingkong's whereabouts were unknown, and the situation of the Devil Buddha was unclear.
The most suitable person was Tao Wangji.
But if Tao Wangji was seriously injured and his cultivation was not strong enough, then this plan couldn't be carried out.
According to common sense, the Sword King, Tao Wangji's current injuries shouldn't have healed.
Others didn't understand and could only guess, but Chen Luoyang himself was very clear about it.
Previously, the battle between the Devil Religion Hierarch and the Sword Pavilion Master on the Snowy Plateau ended in a lose-lose situation.
Comparing the injuries on the Hierarch's side, the Pavilion Master's side should be similar.
If there was an obvious difference in strength, then the battle wouldn't have ended in a draw. Instead, one side would have been killed.
Both sides were severely injured. It could be said that they were on the brink of death.
At that time, they were hanging on to their last breath and could still maintain their superficial skills.
Once that force loosened, the result would be a thousand miles of water flowing out in one go.
After the Hierarch used all kinds of healing medicines and healing methods of his Devil Religion, he still needed around a hundred days to recover.
If it wasn't for Chen Luoyang's arrival, Black Pot provided him with many methods and even stole the Worry-Relieving Pill and other elixirs from the Pill Empress, he would still be far from recovery.
Although he couldn't determine if the Sword Pavilion's healing methods were more brilliant than the Devil Religion's, but judging from the fact that the Sword King was forced to go out to sea to search for the Pill Empress, both sides were in a similar situation.
Unfortunately, the Pill Empress came to the mainland and even went all the way west to the snowy highlands. There was no trace of her now.
The Sword King drifted on the sea for so many days, but it was destined to be a waste of effort. It was impossible for him to find the Pill Empress.
He also didn't have the help of Black Pot like Chen Luoyang.
Therefore, according to normal circumstances, he was still far from recovery.
However, Chen Luoyang had to be more cautious.
He had picked up the "Life" Heavenly Book on the sea.
It was not easy to search for it. He relied on the killing intent and death aura from the battle between him and the Saber Emperor Yu Wen Feng to attract the page of the Heavenly Book on its own.
However, since they were both drifting on the sea, could the Sword King benefit from this page of the Heavenly Book?
Although he didn't have the help of Black Pot to collect the Heavenly Book, it was not impossible for him to obtain vitality from it to heal.
This was too much of a coincidence. However, Chen Luoyang checked the information in the stone mirror. It showed that the spoon-shaped island where they reunited with the Sword King was not far from the mainland.
They might have reunited with the Sword King on his way back.
From this point of view, the encounter of the Sword King might have really exceeded expectations.
Moreover, there might be other possibilities?
As Chen Luoyang pondered, his fingers gently tapped on the armrest of the chair.
Did he really go to find the Pill Empress?
The stone mirror said so because it really thought so.
However, no one could guarantee that what it thought was right.
There had always been rumors in the Divine Land that the rise of the Sword King Tao Wangji was quite mysterious.
His background was very clear. He was indeed a native of China, unlike the first generation Hierarch of the Devil religion, the Nine-armed Devil Fei Chen.
However, the reason why the Sword King could become the Sword King was because of many unexplainable mysteries or legends.
Connecting the fact that Ying Qingqing's Haotian Divine Sword was exactly the same as his, as well as the Heaven Sword Scripture that became famous together with him, Chen Luoyang felt that this former top master of the righteous path in the Divine Land was not simple at all.
Of course, he was very satisfied with this.
Tao Wangji was important enough to lure out Cheng Huyuan.
No matter how mysterious and complicated the background of the Sword King was, it was simpler than the Demon Buddha.
Otherwise, he would not have to support the situation in China all these years and be challenged by the Blade Emperor and the Demon Emperor.
Chen Luoyang was just hesitant at this moment.
He had recovered now. With the blood of the gods and demons, he was very powerful.
However, in a situation where he knew himself but did not know his enemy, it was better to avoid arrogant thoughts.
The amount of Blood Red Nectar in the black pot was slightly embarrassing.
It might be just enough to investigate a fourteenth realm expert, or it might be slightly lacking.
He would have to face more than one opponent in the future.
Before there was a large amount of supplements, he needed to carefully choose who to investigate.
Moreover, Ying Qingqing and the Pill Empress were missing, their whereabouts unknown.
Looking at it from another perspective, the bait he threw out had a "fish" that took the bait.
Of course, it could also be that the fishing line broke on its own.
However, no matter what, it was no longer a pool of stagnant water. There was a change.
Unfortunately, he did not have time to reel in the line now. Otherwise, he might have a chance to see what the invisible line behind Ying Qingqing was connected to.
The Blood Red Nectar was not enough to investigate Ying Qingqing, but it was definitely enough to investigate the Pill Empress.
He did not care that he had Cheng Huyuan, Tao Wangji, the Demon Buddha, and even Yan Mingkong to deal with. It was not easy to accumulate the Blood Red Nectar, and he had to prioritize things. He could only put Ying Qingqing and the Pill Empress aside for now.
Chen Luoyang thought to himself.
While he was thinking, the experts of the Devil religion outside were resolutely carrying out his will.
Old Shou personally went to the Sword Pavilion in Bazhou.
There were few people here, and now that the backbone was gone, it only existed in name. Faced with the wave of Devil religion sweeping through China, there was no way to fight back.
However, the few remaining servants all showed enough determination and bravery.
When Old Shou came, they risked their lives to protect the Sword Pavilion.
Unfortunately, this bravery could not make up for the huge gap in strength.
A black plaque with the simple words "Sword Pavilion" engraved on it was taken down by Old Shou and carried on his shoulder. He passed through China and headed east.
Everywhere he passed, people were shocked again.
