At the very least, who would believe that this was done by Niu Youdao alone? They would definitely suspect that there was someone behind Niu Youdao and would definitely try to pry open Niu Youdao's mouth.
Although he heaved a sigh of relief, before Niu Youdao was completely out of danger, Ao Feng's heart was still tense. He flashed to the leader's side and said, "We didn't find anything there."
Not long later, the people who were scattered all over came back to report that they didn't find anything.
The leader waved his hand and everyone continued to search.
Niu Youdao, who was hiding in the cave, waited until there was no more movement outside before he came out. He carefully observed for a while before quickly burrowing into the mountains.
He sneaked along the way, hiding and hiding until he was out of the limited area of Immeasurable Garden. Only then did he release his full speed and escape.
…
In the Ice Land, on an ice cliff covered in snow, Granny Xue was holding a cane in one hand and a report in the other. She laughed like an old crow. "Interesting. The deacon of the Bank of the World just died for no reason and now someone actually came out to burn down Immeasurable Garden. The Saint Realm has been peaceful for too long. As expected, things are getting more and more interesting. Strange things are starting to happen one after another. "After saying that, she tilted her head and looked coldly at the people behind her.
Bai Wuya didn't make a sound and his expression was solemn.
With a sou, Bai Wuya raised his head and realized that Granny Xue had already disappeared. The sound of the whistle slicing through the air was heard and Granny Xue's figure disappeared into the air. She seemed to be heading in the direction of Immeasurable Garden.
"Haiz!" Bai Wuya sighed. He didn't know who was the one who burned down Immeasurable Garden. That person was just too daring.
So what if it was burned down? If he couldn't get anything, it would be hard for people not to suspect that he was doing it on purpose.
…
Immeasurable Garden was burned and the entire Saint Realm was shaken. This was like reaching out to the forbidden area of the Saint Realm and touching the reverse scale of the Nine Sages. How could they not be shaken?
Within Heaven Seeking City, two people sat across from each other with a pot of tea. Huang Ban and Xuan Yao both had solemn expressions.
"Is there a possibility that the fire is a natural disaster?" Xuan Yao muttered.
Huang Ban sighed and said, "For such a large fire to suddenly appear and for the Immeasurable Garden to be set ablaze at the same time, how can it be a natural disaster? It must be man-made. Such a large area of fire at the same time doesn't seem like something that one or two people can do. It's a gang crime. "
Xuan Yao was silent for a while before he sighed and said, "I wonder who is so bold as to burn it like this. Is there any meaning to it?"
Huang Ban said, "You won't get the Immeasurable Fruit at all. It's obviously a waste of effort. Some people had already linked the burning of the Immeasurable Garden to Hong Yunfa's death, and wanted to interfere with the internal reorganization of the Misty Pavilion. I wonder who it is. Don't they know that the more they do this, the more the Lord will not let it go? "
Xuan Yao said, "Mr. Ding said that he would stay in the outside world for a while. I'm afraid that he won't be able to sit still after hearing this news. After all, the Immeasurable Garden is under the name of the Misty Pavilion. Now that something like this has happened, it would be hard for him not to rush back. "
Huang Ban said, "I heard that the nine Lord's chariots have already arrived at the Immeasurable Garden to check on the situation of the fire. Even the Lord can't find anything. What can Mr. Ding do even if he comes back?"
Xuan Yao said, "We can't pretend that nothing happened. If we don't ask about it, it will make people suspicious. At the very least, we have to put on an act."
"Sigh! In troubled times, Mr. Ding happened to be the current Sect Master. No one can tell how things will develop in the end. "Huang Ban sighed.
Xuan Yao shook his head helplessly.
…
As the secret discussions in the Holy Land rose like a tide, Niu Youdao appeared in a deep mountain surrounded by clouds and mist.
In a place not too far from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, he hid in the canopy of a tree and observed the situation. He was wearing a mask and a black cloak.
After waiting for a while, a figure landed in the valley and looked around. It was Wu Fei.
Niu Youdao flashed out from the canopy. Wu Fei was on guard. Niu Youdao showed him his palm. There was a plum blossom drawn on his palm.
This plum blossom was the secret signal to let Wu Fei confirm the identity of the person who was going to meet them. Rulai Sha would not follow Niu Youdao around. Rulai Sha's identity was not suitable for him to run around. Just as Rulai Sha had said, people like him were the ones that the Nine Saints kept a close eye on.
This time, Rulai Sha did not come. Niu Youdao came alone and did not want Wu Fei to know his identity. Since Wu Fei did not know whether the person who was going to meet them was real or fake, Rulai Sha had to help them set up the secret signal to meet.
They agreed to meet at a place not too far away from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. This was also to make it convenient for Wu Fei. With Wu Fei's identity, he could not use large flying beasts without a suitable excuse. He was afraid that he would attract attention.
After the two of them confirmed each other's identities, Niu Youdao did not waste any more time. He took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Fei. "See if he's from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. See if you know him."
Wu Fei took it and opened it. When he saw the first portrait, he said in shock, "Chu Weicheng!"
Niu Youdao asked, "Do you know him?"
Wu Fei stared at it and examined it carefully. The handwriting on the portrait was no longer drawn with charcoal. In order to hide his identity from Wu Fei, Niu Youdao had carefully copied it with a brush.
He had no choice but to be cautious. He had used charcoal to draw portraits of some people. He had to conceal this unique drawing technique, or else his identity would be easily exposed.
After confirming it carefully, Wu Fei nodded. "The portrait is a little different from the person himself, but the appearance is similar to him. If he's from the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, it should be him. He should have committed a crime more than ten years ago and was executed. I remember that there were a few people who were executed with him … "
He flipped to the next one and saw the portrait. He blurted out, "Xu Ziling."
He flipped to the next one and the name blurted out, "Guang He." He looked up at Niu Youdao. "There should be no mistake. It should be them. They were three of the people who committed a crime more than ten years ago and were executed together. That incident angered Wu Chang. I have an impression of it. "
Niu Youdao became spirited. "I still remember what you said last time. You said that you should be able to find the skeletons of the deceased. Now, I want you to find the skeletons of the three people and give them to me."
Wu Fei was a little troubled. "It's been so many years. I'm not sure about the condition of the skeletons. I can't guarantee if I can find the complete skeletons."
Niu Youdao said, "In a place with heavy Yin energy, the skeletons will not rot easily. I don't need you to find the complete skeletons. Just give me the skeletons of the three people. But there's one thing you have to remember. It must be the skeletons of the three people. There can't be any mistakes, understand? "
What the other party was worried about was actually the problem that he had considered after carefully thinking through the plan. He also had this worry, so he asked Yuan Gang to contact Zhao Xiongge directly after the last time. In order to be vague and keep it a secret, he only asked if Zhao Xiongge wanted the corpse intact.
He believed that as long as Yuan Gang asked, Zhao Xiongge should understand what he meant.
Sure enough, Zhao Xiongge understood. The reply he gave was that a mutilated body was fine, but the skull was the best!
With this reply, Niu Youdao naturally wanted the skull with the best effect.
As long as the skull was there, Wu Fei felt much more at ease. He nodded and said, "I'll try my best."
Niu Youdao immediately warned him sternly, "You don't have to try your best, you have to do it well. I'll say it again, you must want the skulls of the three people themselves. Don't mix it up. After I get it, I have a way to verify its authenticity. If there's any mistake, you should understand the consequences. "
Wu Fei nodded silently.
Niu Youdao pointed at the painting in his hand and asked, "Have you memorized the names of the three people?"
Wu Fei immediately looked at them one by one. "Chu Weicheng, Xu Ziling, Guang He, I've memorized them all."
Niu Youdao immediately reached out to take the painting from the other party's hand and put it away. At the same time, he comforted him, "Don't worry, we won't burn the bridge after crossing it. We still hope to continue working with each other. If that woman pestering you makes you feel uneasy, if you need her but it's not convenient for you to do it yourself, we can help you get rid of her when the time is right. Of course, we'll still need your cooperation when the time is right. "
Wu Fei looked up and nodded repeatedly. "That's for the best! That woman often comes looking for me. Being in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, I really don't know how to avoid her. I'm really afraid of her. All these years, I didn't dare to do anything in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land because I was afraid of attracting the jealousy of others and being targeted. If you want me to provide you with more help, it's best to help me get rid of her. I really can't find a chance to do it myself, and I don't dare to ask others for help. "
Niu Youdao pressed his hands together and advised, "Don't be impatient. Let's settle the matter in front of us first."
Wu Fei immediately promised, "Don't worry, I'll definitely try my best."
After explaining everything that needed to be said, the two of them parted ways. Communication methods were still handled by the middleman, Sha Rulai.
After they parted ways, Niu Youdao destroyed the three paintings that he had spent so much effort and even took a huge risk to obtain. Then, he headed straight for the Guardian Manor. On the way, he found Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie, who had been left behind.
…
At the entrance of the Sage Land, ripples of light flickered, and a group of people walked out. It was Ding Wei and his group, who had returned after learning of the shocking changes in the Sage Land.
Ding Wei's face was dark. The burning of the Immeasurable Garden had left him in a terrible mood.
After exiting the entrance, Ding Wei and his group climbed to the top of the mountain and flew to the nearby Guardian Manor.
Golden wings, flying mounts, and other similar things that were convenient for communication were strictly controlled in the Sage Land. They were not allowed to be brought in or out casually. The purpose of the Guardian Manor was to make up for this weak link in this rule. One of the main responsibilities of the Guardian Manor was to look after or prepare the mounts of important members of the Sage Land.
With Ding Wei's status, he naturally wouldn't rely on his magic power to rush about. The manor naturally had mounts for him.
"Elder, they're here." Qin Guan, who was at the top of the manor's pavilion, suddenly reminded.
Niu Youdao, who was pacing up and down the pavilion, looked back. When he saw Ding Wei and his group, he smiled. As expected, they really came.
Without a second word, he quickly went down the pavilion and welcomed Ding Wei and his group. He cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Sect Master!"
Ding Wei stopped in his tracks and looked at him coldly. "What are you doing here?"
Niu Youdao was thick-skinned. "I can't help it. It's my duty."
Ding Wei snorted coldly and let the other party do his duty. He wasn't in the mood to bother with this fellow. He continued to walk with his cloak fluttering behind him.
However, Niu Youdao shamelessly followed behind him. As he walked, he said, "Speaking of which, it's such a coincidence. I was just about to ask Mister about something. I didn't expect to meet Mister here."
Ding Wei said as he walked, "Speak!"
