Back in his room, Niu Youdao took out the map of the Holy Land and spread it out. Holding the ruler he made in his spare time, he started measuring on the map.
He measured the distance from the Holy Land to the Daluo Sacred Land and estimated the time.
Then, he measured the distance from the Ice Land to the Daluo Sacred Land and estimated the time.
Finally, he measured the distance from the Daluo Sacred Land to the Ice Land. After estimating the time, he carefully examined the terrain of the three routes.
After looking for a while, he paced back and forth in front of the table. As he paced back and forth, he thought of something and quickly bent down to check the map.
After doing this for a while, Niu Youdao suddenly shouted, "Qin Guan!"
Hurried footsteps came from outside. Qin Guan pushed the door open and asked, "Elder, what is it?"
Niu Youdao, "Inform the Fox Demon Division that I will participate in the routine cleanup of the Desolate Swamp Wasteland."
"This …" Qin Guan hesitated and did not accept the order immediately. Instead, he solemnly reminded, "Elder, the Misty Pavilion is already dissatisfied with us. The Fox Demon Division might take this opportunity to kill us. The Desolate Swamp Wasteland is a good place for them to do so. It is too easy for something to happen. Elder, please think twice!"
Niu Youdao, "The Misty Pavilion is still swallowing the humiliation despite all the sects' efforts. It is obvious that they are willing to endure it for now. I have reported them many times before. If they attack me now, it would be too obvious that they are seeking revenge. They should not be so anxious and should be fine. Don't worry, since I dare to go, I have a way to protect myself. Also, just in case, the two of you don't have to go. I will go with them alone. "
Qin Guan hurriedly said, "We appreciate Elder's intention to protect us, but it's too dangerous for you to go alone. If something happens, you won't even have a helper. Even if we go, we can at least help you a little."
Niu Youdao, "Say no more. Just do it."
Qin Guan had no choice but to leave first. Then, he pulled Ke Dingjie to persuade him.
Faced with the two's insistence, Niu Youdao hesitated for a while and finally agreed to bring them along.
Initially, the two of them had thought that it would be best to bring Kun Linshu along as well. Having one more person would be a great help in case something happened. However, Niu Youdao was adamant in his refusal, so the two of them had no choice but to settle for the next best thing …
Guan Fangyi hurriedly arrived at Yuan Gang's courtyard in the Zijin Cave.
In the past, if Yuan Gang had summoned her, she would not have been so enthusiastic. However, ever since Niu Youdao sent her a letter, she would immediately rush over upon hearing Yuan Gang's summons.
After they arrived, they went straight into the room with Yuan Gang and closed the door.
Recently, the two of them were often alone in the same room. Duan Hu, who was guarding outside, almost misunderstood that there was something going on between the two of them. However, from some signs, it seemed that there was something else going on.
After entering the house and closing the door, Guan Fangyi immediately turned around and asked Yuan Gang in a low voice, "Did Daoye send a letter?"
Yuan Gang nodded and took out the letter to show it to her to prove that there was indeed new news.
Guan Fangyi could not understand the flamboyant handwriting on the letter. After confirming it, she returned it and asked, "What does the letter say?"
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye agrees with our judgment that Sha Huanli will probably go to the Saint Land to attend Xue Luo 'er's wedding. In view of this, Daoye wants us to stop kidnapping Sha Huanli."
"Stop? Why? "Guan Fangyi was puzzled.
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye wants Sha Huanli to go to the Saint Land, and Daoye will do it himself in the Saint Land."
Guan Fangyi was shocked. "Do it in the Saint Land? Is it safe? "
Yuan Gang raised the letter in his hand and said, "Daoye said that if something happens to Sha Huanli here, it will not be a small matter. It will turn the cultivation world and the secular world upside down. The impact is too great, and many people will be in danger. So, we have no choice but to do it in the Saint Land. Now, we have a better choice. It's best to do it in the Saint Land. If something happens to Sha Huanli in the Saint Land, it will be controlled in the Saint Land. People will only suspect that it was done by people in the Saint Land. No one will believe that people outside the Saint Land have intervened. Besides, there are nine forces in the Saint Land that keep each other in check, so it won't cause too much trouble. "
Guan Fangyi said worriedly, "I'm worried about Daoye's safety in the Saint Land. Sha Huanli will definitely be protected by masters when she goes out. Does Daoye have people in the Saint Land? Won't it be too dangerous to act rashly? If it doesn't work, you can send a message to Daoye and discuss it. Let us do it. "
Yuan Gang said, "I know him too well. Since Daoye has made up his mind, he won't be convinced by the reason of worrying about danger. Don't worry. Daoye is better than us at planning and adapting to changing circumstances. Since he has such a plan, he must be confident. Of course, Daoye still needs our cooperation. "
Guan Fangyi asked hurriedly, "How?"
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye has limited eyes and ears in the Saint Land. Nobody can be sure that Sha Huanli will arrive on the day of the wedding. It's very likely that she will enter the Saint Land in advance. If we wait until we find out that Sha Huanli has set off and then send a message to Daoye, I'm afraid that we won't be able to send the message to Daoye before Sha Huanli enters the Saint Land. Daoye has limited eyes and ears and people in the Saint Land. He won't be able to react in time. Therefore, Daoye wants us to know the exact time when Sha Huanli enters the Saint Land in advance so that he can take action. "
"This …" Guan Fangyi looked embarrassed. "Do you think it's possible? We can only inquire about the situation in Star Picking City at most. We won't be able to know the situation in the City Lord's Mansion in a short period of time, let alone Sha Huanli's departure time. "
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye has considered this and pointed out the direction. He wants us to contact Hong Gaitian, who is currently supervising the Bank of the World. He said that Hong Gaitian is a meticulous person and is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing. He wants us to ask Hong Gaitian to secretly find Bai Yulou, the shopkeeper of the Inviting Moon Inn. Daoye hinted that Bai Yulou had received a sum of money from Daoye and asked Hong Gaitian to start from this aspect … "
In the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, Niu Youdao held his sword with both hands and looked at the vast swamp under the protection of Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie.
Behind them, the core members of the Demon Fox Bureau gathered together to make a plan of action. Zhou Tianyu, who had just taken over the Demon Fox Bureau, didn't want anything to go wrong in his first routine clean-up. Thus, he personally came to lead the operation.
While making the arrangements, Zhou Tianyu occasionally looked back at Niu Youdao and realized that Niu Youdao didn't seem to be interested in the clean-up plan.
However, to him, it was best that he wasn't interested. He was most afraid that Niu Youdao would be interested in this side. If he reported any mistakes, it would be really troublesome.
The more Niu Youdao stayed out of this matter, the more at ease he felt.
When the plan was ready, Zhou Tianyu walked to Niu Youdao's side. "Elder Niu, let's get ready to move. You can come with me. We can take care of each other."
Niu Youdao smiled. "There's no need. Just leave a flying beast for us to ride. We will look around the Desolate Swamp Wasteland."
Zhou Tianyu frowned. "Little Brother, the Demon Foxes here won't be polite to other races. I'm afraid it's not safe for the three of you. It's better for you to follow us."
Niu Youdao said, "Since I'm here to supervise, what's the point of following you to see what you have prepared? Brother Zhou, please give us some freedom as supervisors. Let us see what we want to see. "
Zhou Tianyu was cursing in his heart. He was worried that something would happen to this fellow in front of him. If that happened, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
However, Niu Youdao insisted. He wasn't his subordinate and had the status of a supervisor. Zhou Tianyu couldn't force him. He could only do as Niu Youdao said and leave a large flying beast for Niu Youdao's group.
After the Demon Fox Bureau's group entered the depths of the swamp, Niu Youdao's group also set off. They rode on the large bird and flew around the Desolate Swamp Wasteland.
After flying around for a while, they found the place they were looking for. Niu Youdao pointed to a place to land.
After landing in a forest in the swamp, Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie quickly checked the situation in the forest as usual.
Niu Youdao glanced at the large bird that was combing its feathers beside him. He casually sucked a stone into his hand and cast a spell to make a hole in the middle of the stone. He took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and stuffed it into the hole. Then, he slowly turned around and walked to a conspicuous boulder. He threw the stone in his hand at the foot of the boulder and slowly turned back.
In the evening, Niu Youdao's group of three rushed to the place where the Demon Fox Bureau had gathered and spent the night together.
After daybreak, Niu Youdao acted alone as usual. From time to time, he would appear in the sky to patrol the hunting teams.
They were in the air, so they couldn't hear the curses of the hunting teams below.
Two days later, Niu Youdao left Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie somewhere and flew alone on a large bird. After flying over the vast swamp for a while, he disappeared into a forest.
When he landed and looked around, a black fox jumped out of the grass and walked towards him. As it walked, it transformed into a human. It was the chief of the Demon Fox clan, Heiyun.
"Why did it take you so long to contact me?" Heiyun walked up to Niu Youdao and asked. Niu Youdao had said that he would contact them as soon as possible.
Niu Youdao said, "I had no choice. Finding a foothold is the most important thing. Besides, it's better for us to meet properly."
Heiyun said, "Have you contacted Ao Feng from the Wuliang Garden?" He was more concerned about the Immortal Fox Fruit.
Niu Youdao shook his head. "You are too anxious. How can I go there so easily? I can't go there without thorough preparation. Otherwise, it will arouse suspicion. That place is good if I don't go, but if I go, I have to be useful. Before that, I will try my best to avoid touching the Wuliang Garden. Regarding the Wuliang Garden, did your fox clan find out anything new? "
Heiyun shook his head. "It's still the same. I even went to take a look myself. Under the concealment of the formation, I couldn't even see the shadow of the Wuliang Garden. I couldn't see anything inside at all."
Niu Youdao frowned. He didn't dare ask anyone in the Misty Pavilion about the situation of the Wuliang Garden. He didn't even dare to ask about it. He was afraid of arousing suspicion. He only knew a little bit from the fox clan.
The Demon Fox clan had coveted the Wuliang Garden for many years. They had captured many people from the Misty Pavilion in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland and constantly inquired about the Wuliang Garden. After many years of accumulation, they had more or less figured out the situation inside.
The defense of the entire Wuliang Garden was like an iron wall. First of all, there was the concealment of the formation. It was impossible to see the shadow of the Wuliang Garden with the naked eye. Even if you walked past the Wuliang Garden, you wouldn't be able to find it. Adding on the protection of the formation, it was impossible for outsiders to sneak in.
Not to mention that there were experts guarding inside, anyone who came in and out would have to be searched. It was impossible to smuggle anything in.
It was said that there were specially refined "Crow Generals" guarding the Wuliang Fruit Tree. Anyone who approached would be alarmed. The number of fruits on the tree would be counted every two hours, not giving anyone a chance to steal them.
