How were they supposed to choose? Elder Niu had already attacked the people of the Misty Pavilion. Was there anything that Elder Niu didn't dare to do?
Just now, Elder Niu had already displayed his strength in front of them. If they didn't make the right choice, at least one of them wouldn't be able to leave alive.
Betraying the elders of the sect was also a difficult problem. If they didn't betray them, once the Misty Pavilion found out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Facing this difficult problem, Qin Guan vaguely said, "We will follow the sect's orders."
Facing this difficult problem, Qin Guan vaguely said, "That's right. Everyone is doing this for the good of the sect."
Qin Guan and Ke cursed in their hearts. You're doing this for the good of the sect? The sect dares to do such a thing?
"Don't worry. It's not as serious as you think. As I said, there are two people here who are in trouble. The Misty Pavilion can't find out who did it …" Niu Youdao started to talk to the two. The two begged to differ in their hearts, but on the surface, they seemed to agree.
After a while, a painful cry came from behind them. "I'll talk!"
Qin and Ke both turned around. Niu Youdao walked past the two of them. The two of them exchanged a glance and followed behind him.
Walking to the middle of the two who had fallen to the ground, the two of them discovered that the two of them were in an abnormal state. Their faces were filled with pain, and half of their skin was red as if it was on fire, while the other half was actually covered in frost. The two of them looked at each other in horror, not knowing what was going on.
What they didn't know was that their bodies were suffering from extreme heat and cold. The pain was indescribable. In addition, their mana was restricted, and they couldn't cast any spells to resist it. Their flesh and blood were enduring it.
Niu Youdao said, "You're willing to talk now?"
The one covered in mud said painfully, "I'll talk."
Niu Youdao looked at the other person. "What about you?"
The one with one arm shivered. "Even if I tell you, you won't let me go."
Niu Youdao said, "Let me remind you. He's already willing to talk. If you don't, I'll have to kill you. There's no harm in being frank. I'll have a handle on you as long as you betray the Sage Realm and the Misty Pavilion. Then, I won't have to kill you. You're still useful to me. "
This was reasonable. Someone had already agreed to speak. If he did not speak, he would really die. The one-armed man gritted his teeth and said, "Fine. I hope you will keep your word. I will speak."
"That's right. There's no need to make life difficult for yourself." Niu Youdao leaned over and pressed his palm on the chest of the man who was covered in mud. The frost on the man's body gradually melted, and his abnormally red skin slowly returned to normal.
The pain was temporarily resolved. That person breathed heavily, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
After that, Niu Youdao walked to the side of another person and similarly temporarily relieved the other person's pain. After he stopped, he reminded them, "Answer whatever I ask. Compare your testimonies. If there's any discrepancy, I'll cut off a part of your body or kill the one who's lying. Understand?"
The two who fell to the ground panted and did not make a sound.
Niu Youdao raised the sword in his hand and suddenly poked the one-armed man. The latter immediately fainted.
Niu Youdao walked back to the mud-covered man and said to Qin Jie and Ke Jie, "Prepare the things. I'll ask, and you two give your testimonies."
The two did not know why he would take the risk and put in so much effort. They felt that it was not worth it.
But for Niu Youdao, this was something very necessary. For a decision maker, knowing the situation was the basis for making a judgment.
The various sects in the cultivation world knew too little about the Sage Realm and the Misty Pavilion. They did not even have any useful information about their opponents. It was equivalent to not even having the right to face them.
No one had pen or paper on them, nor could they find anything suitable to record their testimonies. In the end, under Niu Youdao's reminder, they stripped the other person's clothes. They could only borrow the other person's blood to use the ink and pen.
Niu Youdao pointed at Qin Guan to record and signaled for Ke Dingjie to be on guard. Then, he asked the man on the ground, "First, tell me the names of the people from the Misty Pavilion who participated in the fox hunt."
"Chen Biao, Lu Tianguang …" The mud-covered man panted as he fell to the ground.
With so many names, it was difficult to say all of them in one go. He could not help but think for a while.
When all the names were said, Niu Youdao asked for the list and asked one by one, "What does Chen Biao do in the Misty Pavilion? What is his position …"
The mud-covered man answered one by one.
He spoke a lot, but Niu Youdao did not forget to remind Qin Guan to only record the summary and not the nonsense. He could not find those things at the scene anyway.
By the time he was done asking, it was already evening.
For the time being, Niu Youdao did not know what the subsequent effects of obtaining the confession would be. However, he had already gained something, at least something that moved him. He had taken a fancy to one of the names on the list, a person named "Ao Feng".
According to the interrogator, Ao Feng came out from the Wuliang Garden, which was the forbidden area of the Holy Land where the Wuliang Fruit grew. The Wuliang Fruit was also the so-called Fox Fairy Fruit of the Demonic Fox clan.
Staring at Ao Feng's name on the list, Niu Youdao pondered for a while and asked, "Tell me about this Ao Feng. The Wuliang Garden is a forbidden area of the Holy Land. Why would someone sent to guard the Wuliang Garden come here to participate in the competition?"
The mud-covered man said, "He probably did not want to be trapped there and took the opportunity to come out. The Wuliang Garden is the most important place for the Holy Venerables. It is a forbidden area. It looks easy, but in fact, it is like walking on thin ice. A little carelessness will cause one's head to roll. If there is a problem, no one can escape death no matter what status they have. Once they enter the Wuliang Garden, they almost lose their freedom. Almost no one is willing to go there. In this competition, the outstanding people from the Misty Pavilion will be put in an important position. The important positions in the Wuliang Garden have been fixed by the trusted subordinates of the Nine Saints. Ao Feng should have some ideas. "
Niu Youdao looked at the information about Ao Feng again. "He is from the Wuxu Sacred Ground. He is the disciple of the Holy Venerable Du Wuxu …"
The mud-covered man said, "Du Wuxu's disciple, Ye Nian's disciple. He should have come here because of his connections."
Niu Youdao thought for a while and nodded. He asked again, "How many Wuliang Fruits are there in the Wuliang Garden?"
The mud-covered man said, "It is not easy to grow them. How can there be a lot of them? It is said that there used to be a large orchard with many fruit trees. Later, they were all destroyed by the Holy Venerables. Only one fruit tree was left, and there were only twelve fruits on it. I don't know how many people have died on this fruit tree. "
Niu Youdao was silent for a while. He asked again, "What does Ao Feng look like?"
"Tall and skinny, white face without a beard, big eyes …" When he said this, the mud-covered man was stunned. He was shocked. "You want to find Ao Feng? What do you want? "
Hearing his words, Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were also frightened.
Tall and skinny, white face without a beard, big eyes. These three characteristics were enough to describe the man. Niu Youdao raised his sword and poked the man, causing him to faint immediately.
"Wake the other one up and ask him. Verify if this guy is telling the truth." Niu Youdao threw the clothes full of words to Qin Guan and asked him to do it.
Qin Guan did as he was told. He woke up the man with the broken arm and asked him the same way Niu Youdao asked him to verify the information provided by the former.
One was interrogating, while the other was guarding the surroundings. Niu Youdao held his sword in front of him. His eyes were flickering. No one knew what he was thinking.
Ke Dingjie observed Elder Niu's expression and reaction from time to time …
When it was dark, Niu Youdao asked Ke Dingjie to make a bonfire for Qin Guan's convenience.
Ke Dingjie was frightened again. He couldn't help but remind Niu Youdao, "Elder, if the people from the Misty Pavilion find out that two people are missing, we will expose ourselves by making a bonfire."
Niu Youdao said, "You think too much. They won't look for us as soon as it gets dark. They will definitely wait until they confirm that the two people are missing. Only then will they have a chance to look for us. Their next meeting point is very far away from here. By the time they find us, we will have already finished. Even if they come looking for us, they won't come looking for us together. Don't worry, I will handle it. Just be vigilant. "
Ke Dingjie was flustered. He had no choice but to do as he was told. He wanted to run, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to …
Deep into the night, Ke Dingjie suddenly went to Niu Youdao's side and whispered, "Elder, under the tree on the right behind us."
When Niu Youdao heard that, he turned his head and saw a faintly discernible familiar figure in the bushes under the tree. It was that black fox again.
This was the third time they had met.
The fox and the man's gazes clearly met each other's eyes through the bushes.
Niu Youdao turned his head slowly, ignoring him.
Ke Dingjie reminded him in a low voice, "Elder, the demonic fox has spiritual intelligence. It saw what we did. If the news leaks, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome."
Niu Youdao said, "You don't have to worry. I have my own plans."
At that moment, Qin Guan, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, stretched his body and knocked out the one-armed man. He got up and walked over to Niu Youdao and presented the clothes to him. "Elder, I have verified it. There is no mistake."
Niu Youdao stood up and grabbed the clothes. He tilted his head to the left and right and said, "One for each of us. Kill them!"
"Ah!" The two of them were speechless. Of course, they understood what he meant.
Qin Guan said with a trembling voice, "Elder, didn't you say that they betrayed the Misty Pavilion and that you have something on them? So there is no need to kill them? We can make use of them later! "
Niu Youdao said, "There are many people in the Misty Pavilion. It is not difficult to catch two of them. But there are only two disciples of the Purple Golden Cave here. Their lives are not important. I value you more. Whether you choose to betray the Misty Pavilion or to protect the Misty Pavilion's interests, it is your choice! But I have to remind you that as the Purple Golden Cave's Elder, I have the obligation to clean up the traitors of the Misty Pavilion! "
The two of them were in a dilemma. They wanted to ask him if it was protecting the Misty Pavilion's interests doing such a thing with him.
Seeing that the two of them did not speak or move, Niu Youdao looked to the left and right and said with a faint smile, "Don't force me to clean up the Misty Pavilion. Not to mention the two of you, even your masters together are no match for me. You can't run away! After doing such a thing, you know that I have no way out! "
No choice! The two of them finally understood that the Elder was taking advantage of the situation. The choices he gave them were all choices that they had no choice in.
Finally, the two of them pulled out their swords. Right next to the bonfire, their swords fell and blood splattered. Two heads rolled on the ground. Two disciples of the Misty Pavilion were beheaded.
Black Fox, who was hiding in the bushes under the tree, witnessed this scene. His eyes widened, as if he could not believe it.
Under the light of the fire, Niu Youdao was expressionless. He threw the clothes in his hand to Qin Guan, who had turned around. "It is not convenient to carry the clothes of the Misty Pavilion. Copy the things on this into the booklet in your hands. Clean up the scene and do not leave any traces. I have something to do. Wait for me here. "
The two of them were just about to ask him where he was going when Niu Youdao's figure suddenly flashed. He was like an arrow leaving the bow, shooting towards Black Fox behind the bushes under the tree.
