After hearing his words, Hei Yun realized that what he said was indeed reasonable. Having seen this fellow's ability to travel in the swamp, he put down his arm and smiled. "I don't mind. Rather, many of you humans think that we are demons. As long as you don't mind, you can stay here as long as you want. You won't starve."
Niu Youdao said, "What are humans? What are demons? If there are no humans, where would demons come from? "He smiled and left.
Heiyun was stunned by these words. Before Shang Song opened the passage between the two worlds, before humans entered this world, the Fox Clan did not know that there were demons in this world. They did not know the difference between humans and demons. It was not until humans entered that the Fox Clan unknowingly accepted that they were demons.
Now that he thought about it, the Fox Clan used to be like humans in the human world. The Fox Clan felt that they were the foxes of this world.
He slowly turned his head to look in the direction that Niu Youdao had disappeared. His gaze was complicated. He could sense a calm and genuine acknowledgment from Niu Youdao's words. There was no pretentiousness, pretense, or hypocrisy. The Fox Clan had been suppressed for so many years …
Niu Youdao dared not delay as he flew across the vast swamp. He had to find Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie before the people from the Misty Pavilion found them.
He was not worried before, but now the situation had changed. He did not expect the people from the Misty Pavilion to intervene.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie should be fine as long as they were not found by the Misty Pavilion. But if they were caught by the Misty Pavilion, they would not know how to answer some questions. If they were frightened by the Misty Pavilion, who knew what they would say.
Perhaps they would not dare to say that they killed the people from the Misty Pavilion. But if the answer was different from what he had prepared, all his preparations would be in vain.
He did not expect something like this to happen, so he did not prepare for this.
He was a little curious. Why were the people from the Misty Pavilion mingling with the people who were out for training? Was this the case with all the people, or was it just with them?
In short, no matter what the situation was, he had to prepare for a rainy day and plug up the loopholes on his side. There was nothing wrong with taking precautions.
When he first entered the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, he did not have any conditions. In order to achieve his goal, he did not care about the consequences and inevitably left behind flaws. After creating the conditions, he tried his best to find ways to resolve them.
As the stars moved, the dark night passed and light arrived.
The blazing sun descended from the west, ushering in darkness. After the darkness, light appeared again.
Along the way, other than stopping occasionally to recover the magic power he had consumed, the rest of the time could be said to be rushing without stopping.
Fortunately, he wasn't searching blindly. He had already drawn up a route for Qin and Ke, and with the help of the Fox Clan, he could be said to be heading straight for his destination.
In the middle of the afternoon, Niu Youdao accurately intercepted Qin and Ke on their way.
Both of them were dressed in red, which was very eye-catching.
They saw Niu Youdao standing on the grassy hill in front of them with a smile on his face, and saw his signature action of standing with his sword.
Wandering in the vast Desolate Swamp, the two of them who had a different kind of torment in their hearts were overjoyed. They quickly flashed to Niu Youdao's side and bowed. "Elder!"
The two of them were very uneasy after not seeing Niu Youdao's figure for a long time. What if they never saw him again? Now that they saw him, they were completely at ease!
Niu Youdao raised his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities. He asked, "Did you meet anyone from the Misty Pavilion along the way?"
The information provided by the Fox Clan was a little delayed, so he had to ask.
The two of them were stunned for a moment, not knowing what he meant. Then they both replied, "No."
Niu Youdao heaved a sigh of relief and looked around.
Qin Guan asked, "Elder, we did not find any traces of Chao Jing and the others. Did you find any?"
"No!" Niu Youdao said simply and directly. He waved his hand and pointed to a forest in the distance. "This is not a good place to talk. It is too conspicuous standing here. Follow me."
The three of them flew away one after another, and before long, they entered the forest one after another.
As usual, Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie first searched the small forest that suddenly appeared in the swamp before returning to report to each other.
As usual, Ke Dingjie sighed. "After running around for so many days, there is no sign of him. I don't know if Elder Chao has returned. If he hasn't, then something must have happened."
Niu Youdao waved his hand. "Don't worry about him. Chao Jing's disappearance has nothing to do with us. I have tried my best to find him. I have a clear conscience. Others can misunderstand however they want. Now, I have something else to tell you. When I was searching, I found our group. I found the people from the Misty Pavilion and found them. They are now mingling with them. I was afraid that you would not know and bump into them, so I did not show my face. I came to let you know so that you can be prepared. "
As soon as he said this, the two of them were alarmed. Qin Guan asked nervously, "Why are the people from the Misty Pavilion looking for them? Elder, could it be that the people from the Misty Pavilion are missing?"
Niu You said, "You don't have to be nervous, there's no proof, there's no witness, there's no evidence, there's no way to pin the blame on us." After saying that, he took out a bag and threw it to the two of them, "Divide the things."
The two of them did not know what it was. When they opened the bag, they found some Demon Fox vertical eyes.
The two of them were stunned and looked at each other. Ke Dingjie asked suspiciously, "Elder, you killed a Demon Fox?" The meaning behind his words was obvious. Didn't you say that you don't want to offend the Fox Clan?
Niu Youdao said, "I did not kill them. I snatched them. Of course, we cannot say that we snatched them. We must say that we hunted them ourselves. As long as you do as I say, there will be no problems. So listen carefully and remember … "
After a series of meticulous instructions, Niu Youdao had the two of them reply once more before he sat down.
He was tired. These past two days, in order to find the two of them before anyone else, he had been running around. He had used up a lot of his magic power. He was really tired. As soon as he sat down, he meditated to recover.
Now that he had someone to protect him, he could finally rest in peace.
After a night, the three of them set off again. Once again, they leisurely wandered through the vast swamp, heading straight for their destination.
In order to ensure that they had enough magic power to deal with the people from the Misty Pavilion, they stopped and rested frequently.
By the time they reached their destination, it was already dark. But there was a fire in the forest. The three of them rushed towards the fire.
When they arrived, they saw the people from Waning Moon Pavilion, High Heaven Pavilion and the Four Seas gathered together.
Seeing that Niu Youdao had returned, the people from the other clans stood up one after another. They all seemed very quiet.
Niu Youdao stared at the people from the Misty Pavilion with a stunned expression, as if he did not know what was going on.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie stole a glance at each other. They found that Elder Niu was right. The people from the Misty Pavilion were indeed here.
Xuan Yao and the others also stood up from the bonfire.
Kun Linshu suddenly appeared and landed beside Niu Youdao. "Daoye …"
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, a person under Xuan Yao's command had already appeared in a flash and stopped Kun Linshu, not allowing him to continue speaking and taking him away.
Niu Youdao observed everyone's reaction, especially Kun Linshu's hesitant expression. It was obvious that he wanted to tell him something. Niu Youdao realized that the people from the Misty Pavilion were really here for him. As for why they were here, he was still pondering.
Xuan Yao had already led his people over. He looked at him indifferently and asked, "You are Niu Youdao?"
Niu Youdao cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I am! May I know which noble person from the Misty Pavilion are you? "
Xuan Yao said indifferently, "Xuan Yao, one of the stewards of the Misty Pavilion. I am here under the orders of the Rotating Sect Leader, Mister Ding. I hope you can cooperate with us." Finishing his words, he did not care whether Niu Youdao agreed or not and waved his hand.
Two people immediately came up and took Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie away for questioning. The two of them looked back at Niu Youdao every few steps.
"Follow me." Xuan Yao threw down his words and turned to leave.
Niu Youdao couldn't refuse, so he followed. At the same time, he realized that three members of the Misty Pavilion had surrounded him, trapping him in the middle. It seemed like they were trying to prevent him from escaping, so he secretly raised his guard.
Looking at the people around the bonfire, he found that those old acquaintances seemed to have a guilty conscience and did not dare to look him in the eye.
After bringing him to the bonfire, Xuan Yao stopped and turned around with his hands behind his back. He looked at Niu Youdao from head to toe and suddenly asked, "Where did Chao Jing go?"
Niu Youdao was stunned. "I don't know, he suddenly disappeared. I have been looking for him these days."
Xuan Yao: "Have you found him?"
Niu Youdao: "No! Could it be that Steward Xuan is here for this matter? "
Xuan Yao: "I am the one asking you, not the other way around. Answer my questions truthfully. If you dare to lie to me, you will bear the consequences! "
Niu Youdao: "I dare not lie to you. Whatever Steward Xuan asks, I will tell you everything I know. "
Xuan Yao: "I heard that you want to kill Chao Jing?"
Niu Youdao: "I did have that idea in the past. He knew some of my secrets, but after being exposed by Taishu Mountain City, I gave up on that idea."
Xuan Yao: "Chao Jing's sudden disappearance, does it have anything to do with you?" Seeing that Niu Youdao was about to answer, Xuan Yao raised his hand to stop him. "Don't worry, the Misty Pavilion is not interested in your personal grudges. We are just here to verify the situation. If it is related to you, just admit it. No one here will hold you accountable. If someone wants to hold you accountable, it will be the Wan Shou Clan. The Misty Pavilion will not interfere.
Speak! "Niu Youdao:" Steward Xuan, in all honesty, I did have the idea to kill Chao Jing, but his disappearance has nothing to do with me. "
"Is that so?" Xuan Yao sneered. "Chao Jing has a grandson, his name is Chao Shenghuai. Did you do anything to him?"
Niu Youdao had been worried about Chao Shenghuai. After he entered the Saint State, he did not know what was going on outside. He did not know if they had succeeded. He was worried that something might have happened.
Now that he heard this, he was relieved. He knew that he had succeeded.
Although he was relieved, he looked hesitant and did not say anything.
"Hmm?" Xuan Yao asked in a stern voice.
