Huang Ban came and went straight to Ding Wei. He cupped his fists and greeted, "Mister."
Ding Wei asked, "Is everyone in place?"
Huang Ban replied, "Everything is in place. The people from each faction have been taken away and the replies from the various departments have been confirmed. Everything is normal."
"Mm." Ding Wei nodded. "The situation has changed. There is no longer a need to take charge of the training personnel. You are free now and there is no need for you to guard Shouque Mountain Manor. Xuan Yao is no longer in charge of Heaven Seeking City. Let him avoid arousing suspicion. You will temporarily replace Xuan Yao here. "
"Yes!" Huang Ban cupped his fists and asked, "I have just arrived and heard that Lan Ming is here. I asked around and heard that something happened here?"
Ding Wei nodded and glanced sideways. "That Niu Youdao is restless. Be careful and don't do anything rash. Stay away from the limelight."
"Understood." Huang Ban understood tacitly.
…
When Taishu Shanhai and the rest heard that Niu Youdao had come out, they hurried over to where he was staying. Once again, they were denied entry.
What was going on? What exactly happened? Everyone was puzzled and felt a hundred claws scratching their hearts …
The Sky Blue Holy Ground was not as its name suggested. The sky was filled with white clouds and it was a rare azure blue.
However, it was a good place. The scenery was beautiful and it was like a fairyland.
At the peak of the fairyland, there seemed to be a resplendent blue gem under the light. There was a palace made of pure blue jade, the Sky Blue Holy Palace.
The name 'Holy Palace' was a little vulgar but no one dared to look down on it.
Lan Daolin was wearing a thin robe with wide blue sleeves. He had a head of white hair but his skin was fair and unwrinkled. He did not look old and had the demeanor of an immortal.
His disciple, Zhen Yan, followed beside him. He looked older than Lan Daolin and was examining the report that Niu Youdao had submitted.
Lan Daolin stopped at the door of the Holy Palace and asked, "Zhen Yan, what do you think of Niu Youdao's report?"
Zhen Yan said, "It seems to make some sense, but this matter is not something that can be decided by our family."
Lan Daolin asked again: "Three days, three reports, what do you think of Niu Youdao?"
Zhen Yan: "From the moment Luo Fangfei sent him out of the Saint Land, I have gathered all the information related to Niu Youdao to investigate. This person is indeed a capable person. To be able to rise so quickly, it's not easy!"
Lan Daolin said calmly, "They're also restless. He was a manipulator of the rules. If he's good at manipulating the rules, it means that he doesn't fear the rules, and if he doesn't fear them, it means that he's dissatisfied. This kind of person can't be left alive! "
Zhen Yan paused for a moment before asking, "Junior Martial Brother Lan Ming is in the Heaven Seeking City now. Disciple will send a message to Junior Martial Brother and let him handle it?"
Lan Daolin shook his head slightly. "There is no rush. Although we cannot keep it, it is indeed a good saber. If it can be used, we will use it. We will talk about it after we are done with it."
"Yes." Zhen Yan bowed slightly.
Lan Daolin waved his hand without looking at the report in Zhen Yan's hand. "Forward it to the other families and see what they think."
…
The sky was bright again, and the prison door opened. Lan Ming, who had been cooped up in the prison for the whole day, came out. It was as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in the park. He swung his sleeves with embroidered dragons behind him and looked up at the bright sky with his hands behind his back.
Footsteps could be heard from behind, and a group of people came out. Long Fanhai was among them, and he was dragged out.
Someone had to drag him. He could no longer stand up. His clothes were tattered, and his body was badly mutilated. He did not look like a human anymore.
The situation had actually been made clear long ago, and the testimonies of all parties had already matched up. It was not worth it to let Long Fanhai suffer so much.
However, Lan Ming would not let it end like this, and it was impossible for it to end quickly. He was ordered to come here, and naturally, he had to act like he was investigating the matter more strictly.
Lan Ming had been investigating whether there was someone else behind the scenes, but Long Fanhai refused to admit that there was no one behind it. He did not even admit that he was spying. He only said that it was a normal investigation, and there was no other intention.
It was useless no matter how normal it was. The facts and the testimonies of the other people present proved that Long Fanhai's investigation was a report for the Holy Venerate.
Long Fanhai also knew that he would definitely die. He was determined to die, and even though he was tortured, he did not relent. Even when Lan Ming offered to spare his life to tempt him, he still did not relent.
He could not say anything. Once he did, Ding Wei would not let him off. He would still die, and he would implicate his family. He could only beg for mercy.
Regardless of whether Long Fanhai would say anything, Lan Ming continued to interrogate him. At the same time, he also interrogated Xuan Yao. Coincidentally, Xuan Yao was also locked up in the prison. When interrogated, Xuan Yao would not admit to anything. Xuan Yao's matter was left unsettled.
Long Fanhai left a trail of blood on the ground. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth as he was dragged to the empty space in the center of the Heavenly Seeking City.
Long Fanhai's four subordinates, who followed him out of the prison, were in a sorry state. Fortunately, they didn't suffer too much. They watched their superior being dragged away, all of them trembling with fear.
Lan Ming glanced at the person being dragged away, then turned around and walked towards the central government's residence.
On the stone pillar in the square, a rope was thrown over. One end was wrapped around Long Fanhai's neck, and the other end was pulled down.
As if he knew what he was about to face, Long Fanhai laughed bitterly. Everything was fine. He did not do anything, but he ended up like this. He was naturally unwilling.
Of course, he knew that it was because of Niu Youdao, but he did not blame Niu Youdao at all. He really did not. He knew that the one who forced him into this desperate situation was not Niu Youdao.
Suddenly, his neck tightened. It was so tight that he could not breathe. His body was hung up.
Everyone near and far looked at this scene. All of them were distressed, but no one dared to come over, not even to ask about it.
The man in blue hung Long Fanhai on the stone pillar. After a while, Long Fanhai, who moved a few times, stopped moving.
After confirming that he was dead, the man in blue left the scene. No one near or far dared to untie him …
In the pavilion, Ding Wei sat in front of a chessboard, playing with a chess piece in his hand.
Lan Ming entered and was about to say goodbye, but Ding Wei reached out his hand and said, "Sit."
Lan Ming smiled and walked to the opposite side. He shook his robe and sat down with his legs crossed.
Ding Wei picked up a black chess piece and placed it on the board.
"Alright, I'll accompany you." Lan Ming stared at the chessboard and pondered. He placed a white chess piece and looked at the man's reaction. "Your subordinate is dead, and you still have the mood to play chess here. It seems that this has nothing to do with you." His tone was slightly mocking.
"It has nothing to do with me." Ding Wei placed another black chess piece. "Killing someone is just a simple matter. If he is guilty, he should be sentenced to death. Why do you have to hang him in public? It's like the fox grieves for the rabbit's death."
Lan Ming played the chess piece. "You are indeed the leader of the Misty Pavilion. You have sharp ears and eyes to know about it so quickly. A little warning is necessary. This is the consequence of peeking at The Lord's letter. Your corpse will be hung in public for a month as a warning to others. If you insist on taking it down, there is nothing I can do. "
Ding Wei said, "A month? It stinks. You won't be able to smell it. "
Lan Ming said, "It's better if it stinks. People will only remember when they know the smell. You, Ding Wei, will not stay here for long. You won't be able to smell it. "
Ding Wei said, "You have a good grasp of my whereabouts."
While they were chatting, Huang Ban suddenly entered and handed a letter to Ding Wei. "Sir, The Lord has ordered you to return to the Holy Land of Dayuan immediately."
Ding Wei's hand froze in the air, and he seemed to have twisted it forcefully. His heartstrings were suddenly stretched taut. He did not know if it had anything to do with the third report. He was suddenly summoned back at this time. He did not know if there was something that involved him.
The first letter was sent to Xuan Yao, the second to Long Fanhai, and the third to him.
He did not take the letter. He looked at the chessboard calmly and asked, "What's the matter?"
Huang Ban said, "It's not mentioned in the letter."
Ding Wei placed the chess piece in his hand and said calmly, "Got it."
Huang Ban took his leave. When he left, he looked at Lan Ming who had killed Long Fanhai.
Lan Ming also noticed Ding Wei's unusual movements. After placing a few chess pieces, he smiled and said, "Brother Ding, you are too hasty. It seems like you have something on your mind."
Ding Wei said, "Niu Youdao has been here for three days. He has sent out three consecutive reports."
"There's a third one?" Lan Ming was shocked. He looked around and suddenly leaned forward. He asked in a low voice, "What else do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Ding Wei confirmed that Lan Ming did not know the content of the third report. There was no need to continue the conversation. He reached into the chess bowl and grabbed a handful of chess pieces and scattered them on the chessboard. "The Lord has summoned me. I cannot delay any further. I will not continue. Brother Lan, please help yourself. I will make a move first. "He stood up and left.
Lan Ming looked back for a while. When he turned back, his eyes fell on the chessboard.
Long Fanhai's death, especially the hanging of his corpse in public, had affected everyone in Heaven Seeking City.
The inspectors of the various sects had noticed the abnormal mood of the Misty Pavilion members. When they heard the news, they rushed to the empty space in the center of the city to take a look. They saw the tragic corpse.
The Demon Fox Deacon Long Fanhai had been executed? He could only be punished. Otherwise, who would dare to do anything to the Misty Pavilion members?
At this moment, the members of the various sects more or less thought of something. They thought of Long Fanhai's grief-stricken expression when he went to visit Niu Youdao and was slammed at the door. That loss of composure clearly meant that he had sensed something beforehand.
Needless to say, everyone guessed that this matter had something to do with Niu Youdao. However, they were still confused as to what had happened.
…
In the Dayuan Holy Land, in a land of light muslin, the fragrance of melons and fruits wafted in the air. Intoxicating singing and graceful dancing.
The fat man was so fat that he looked like a pile of meat, paralyzed on a luxurious wide chair. He kept stuffing melons and fruits into his mouth as he watched the dancers with a smile on their faces. Their wonderful bodies were faintly discernible under the thin gauze.
This person was one of the Nine Sages, Yuan Se.
Ding Wei, who had rushed over, did not disturb his master's mood. He walked around the dance floor and walked to the chair. He cupped his hands and greeted, "Master!"
Yuan Se's eyes did not leave the dancers. He waved the melon petal in his hand. "Let him see."
Standing beside him was a charming woman who was almost naked. She only had a few strands of hair covering her breasts. She presented a letter to Ding Wei with both hands and introduced it. She said that it was a letter from Niu Youdao to Lan Daolin, who had forwarded it to him.
Ding Wei read the contents of the letter and did not speak.
