To be able to come over and ask for Niu Youdao's opinion was a form of recognition of Niu Youdao's ability.
Many things were imperceptible. One by one, one by one, one by one, prestige was slowly accumulated in the hearts of the people.
Niu Youdao would always be able to overcome any difficulties he faced, so everyone couldn't help but have some expectations for him this time.
Niu Youdao wasn't in a hurry to reject. Slowly, he said after a moment of silence, "I do have an idea."
Everyone was filled with anticipation, and Lang Jingkong said, "I'm all ears."
Niu Youdao sighed and said, "I personally think this way. Although everyone wants to avoid trouble, we all know that we can't go to a good place together. If we really do that, we will be split up by the Misty Pavilion."
Quan Taifeng sighed, "That's true. Since we don't know the situation, I think everyone wants to go to the Bank of the World. The accounts there are monitored by the nine saints, so it should be hard for them to do anything. They won't get involved in fighting and killing, so it will be much less troublesome. If we all choose to go to the Bank of the World, we will be grouped together. It will be weird if the Misty Pavilion doesn't make adjustments. "
Niu Youdao nodded, "Everyone wants to go to a good place, but we can't go together. If we all choose a place, we will be afraid of trouble. I want to remind everyone that the situation is clear, and we all know that the nine Saint Venerables are forcing us to fight with the Misty Pavilion. Since that is the case, since the outcome is the same whether we choose or not, why don't we discuss and draw lots? "
"Draw lots?" A few people said at the same time. Hibiscus hesitated, "How do we do that?"
Niu Youdao said, "Based on the range given by the Misty Pavilion, we will draw lots based on the number of people from each sect. We will let the sects draw lots, and they will go wherever they draw lots. The people will be sent to different departments, and it doesn't matter if the place they go is good or bad, it is up to the heavens."
Quan Taifeng said, "You mean that we should gather all the people from each sect to draw lots?"
Niu Youdao said, "If we don't do that, can we split them up?"
Hong Gaitian chuckled. "Will they agree to this?"
Niu Youdao: "This isn't a matter of agreeing or not, we have to discuss it with them. Which one of the sects could win against the Misty Pavilion? Everyone had to work together. After they split up, they had to keep in touch with each other so that it would be easier for everyone to coordinate with each other when there was a problem. In this way, everyone would be able to grasp the situation of the various divisions to the greatest extent possible, which would make it easier for them to act and respond. Perhaps, it would increase their chances of survival. This was the only preparation we could make right now. Otherwise, there would definitely be a situation where everyone would be clustered together. In the end, we would still have to split up. Wouldn't it all depend on luck? It all depends on luck. Wouldn't it be better to confirm it first and work together in advance? "
Everyone pondered for a while and nodded slightly. Quan Taifeng sighed and said, "There's no other way. It seems like we can only use this method. What do you all think?"
Everyone looked at each other and didn't have any objections. Quan Taifeng said, "Alright then, it's the last day. Let's not delay any further. Let's go and discuss with them."
Just as everyone was about to leave, they realized that Niu Youdao had no intention of leaving.
Hibiscus said warily, "Brother, you're not going?"
Niu Youdao said, "I'm not going. You all know that I've offended quite a lot of people. Some people don't trust me. If I go, it'll be easy for someone to oppose me. It might even cause endless wrangling. But don't worry, as long as it's decided, I will follow everyone's decision. Remember, don't say that it's my idea. It's a waste of time and meaningless to talk about it. "
What he said seemed reasonable, so everyone let him go.
After everyone had left, Niu Youdao had Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie stand guard outside the door. He closed the door and windows and continued to study the things that Chang Qingshan had provided.
In the evening, Hong Gaitian ran over to greet him. "Brother, it's done. We'll do as you said. Everyone has gathered in the courtyard and is preparing to draw lots. You're the only one left. Hurry up. "
Niu Youdao was easy to talk to. He immediately stood up and followed him out.
In the courtyard, all the elders of the various sects had gathered. It was up to the elders to draw lots, and the disciples had nothing to do.
This time, the people were sent to the various departments, and they were all divided into groups. The Sage Region was considered to have left some spare strength for everyone. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult for a single person to carry out an inspection mission without even an assistant.
In front of everyone, Taishu Shanhai of the Cloud Tool Sect jumped out and spoke with conviction. This time, Niu Youdao just listened by the side and didn't oppose him.
Seven countries, 21 sects, three neutral sects, and the four seas made a total of 28 sects.
There were also many departments in the Misty Pavilion. Some were in charge of the Bank of the World, some were in charge of the various countries, some were in charge of the seas, some were in charge of the cultivation sects, and some were in charge of independent cultivators.
Of course, there were also departments in the Misty Pavilion within the Sage Region. Apart from the shrines of the nine saints that didn't allow the Misty Pavilion to interfere, there were also departments in charge of outside of the shrines.
However, Taishu Shanhai also said that during the discussion, no one was willing to stay in the Sage Region. Due to this reason, the Sage Region was excluded from making the signatures. When the Misty Pavilion made adjustments, whoever they made the adjustments would be the unlucky one.
Regarding this, no one had any objections. This was something that had been discussed.
Seeing that there were no objections, Taishu Shanhai waved his hand and called out, "Bring it up."
Taishu Xun and Taishu Li entered the circle of people and placed the wooden sticks that they had made on the ground. Each wooden stick had the name of the Misty Pavilion's department written on it for everyone to check.
Everyone went forward to check. After confirming that there were no mistakes, the two Cloud Tool Sect disciples gathered all the wooden sticks and covered them with a piece of cloth. Only the end of the stick was exposed for everyone to draw. To show fairness, Taishu Shanhai let everyone draw first, and the last stick was his.
However, there was a rule that they couldn't use spells to check. They had to quickly draw and just draw. Whatever they drew was what they drew.
Everyone took turns to draw. When it was Niu Youdao's turn, he did the same as everyone else. He bent down and drew one before leaving.
He flipped the stick and took a look. Suddenly, Hong Gaitian's laughter rang out, "Brother, you are really fated with wandering cultivators. Your luck isn't bad."
Niu Youdao smiled. The stick in his hand had the words "Wandering Cultivator" on it. He turned his head and said, "You are smiling so happily. It is obvious that your luck is better. Did you get the Bank of the World?"
"Brother's brain is really good." Hong Gaitian laughed out loud and showed him the stick in his hand. As expected, it was the words "Bank of the World".
Not only did he show it to Niu Youdao, but he also showed it to everyone else.
Many of the other people sighed. They didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
Taishu Shanhai, who picked up the stick, sighed. However, he admitted to it and said to everyone, "Tomorrow, when we report, leave your name on the stick and hand it over."
"That's all." Someone said dispiritedly and left right away. It was obvious that he wasn't in a good mood.
Some people left, some stayed, and some chatted on the spot.
When they returned to the room, they learned that Elder Niu got a wandering cultivator. Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were really excited.
Ke Dingjie was delighted, "Wandering cultivators are okay, so they shouldn't be involved in too many conflicts."
Qin Guan asked Niu Youdao, "Elder got a wandering cultivator, does that mean that we are going to leave the Saint Realm soon?"
Niu Youdao walked to the chair and sat down. He flipped the stick in his hand and smiled, "I am not sure. I don't know how to get involved in the supervision, but it should be."
Qin Guan smiled, "How can there be wandering cultivators in the Saint Realm? We are definitely going to leave."
"That's right." Ke Dingjie nodded.
Both of them were very happy at the thought of leaving. Not only was it uncomfortable to be locked up here, but staying in the Saint Realm would also make them behave like grandsons. If they were careless and broke the rules, the Purple Golden Cave would not be able to help them, so they really didn't want to stay here.
The sky gradually darkened, and the night passed.
The next morning, Chang Qingshan brought breakfast. As usual, Niu Youdao was waiting at the door.
When they were handing over the things, Chang Qingshan reminded them in a low voice, "Ding Wei came last night. Today, he will personally preside over the distribution."
Niu Youdao and Chang Qingshan muttered something for a while. The two of them walked back and forth.
After sending Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie away, Niu Youdao fished out the wooden stick again and cast a spell to erase the two words "Rogue Cultivator" on it. Then, he gathered Qi into Gang at his fingertips and wrote the two words "Private Bank" and "Purple Gold Cave" at the bottom.
He blew on the stick and put it into his sleeve …
"That Niu Youdao is really arrogant."
"What's wrong?"
"They came up with something called drawing lots. Niu Youdao got the department in charge of wandering cultivators. When I was delivering the food, I heard him say to two disciples of the Purple Golden Cave that no one could do anything to him outside of the Saint Realm because of his influence outside …"
Xuan Yao, who was leading the two of them through the corridor of the pavilion, stopped for a moment. After listening to the conversation at the corner, he snorted coldly and continued walking.
After a while, the two people who were talking came out from the corner, still whispering. One of them was Chang Qingshan, who turned his head slightly to look in the direction Xuan Yao had disappeared …
The sun rose high in the sky. The people of various sects who were trapped in the courtyard were gathered again in the spacious building.
According to their previous positions, they sat down and waited quietly.
After a while, Ding Wei arrived. Huang Classmate entered, and everyone stood up to salute.
When they saluted, Niu Youdao glanced at Xuan Yao, who was waiting solemnly outside the door, and found that Xuan Yao was also looking at him coldly.
After Ding Wei gestured for everyone to sit down, he went straight to the point, "I heard that everyone drew lots yesterday and decided on where they would go?"
The place was silent, and no one said a word. Hong Gaitian replied, "Yes."
Ding Wei said, "Since everyone has thought about it, let's not waste any more time. Give them the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let them write it down."
Tai-shu Shan Hai suddenly said, "Mister Ding, there's no need to go through so much trouble. We've already written it down, and we can just hand it in directly." He waved a wooden stick in his hand.
"Oh!" Ding Wei nodded. "That's good too. Hand it in." He reached out and knocked on the table, indicating to put it on the table.
Tai-shu Shan Hai was the first to come out. He walked to the table and put down the wooden stick.
The follow-up people came to hand it in one by one. When Hong Gaitian saw the wooden stick on the table, he was stunned for a moment. He realized that everyone's stick was upside down, but he was different. He put his stick up, and the word "bank" was very conspicuous.
Everyone handed it in. There were 28 sticks arranged in a row. Ding Wei reached out and flipped one upside down to take a look. He realized that it was written "bank". He put it down and flipped it again. It was "bank" again. He flipped it again.
