Ding Wei stopped in front of the urgently prepared flying mounts and warned, "Niu Youdao, the Immeasurable Garden is not a place you should go."
Niu Youdao said, "You mean that the inspectors are not allowed to investigate the Immeasurable Garden?"
His words were fine, but his tone was a little weird and could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Ding Wei suddenly turned around and stared at him coldly, almost losing his temper. Niu Youdao's tone was a little weird, as if he was suspecting that Ding Wei was purposely stopping the inspectors from investigating the Immeasurable Garden. What was he trying to imply at such a sensitive time?
Ding Wei tried to keep his tone calm. "Someone will investigate the Immeasurable Garden. You won't find anything even if you go."
Niu Youdao said, "Hong Yunfa's matter was also discovered by the inspectors."
It was a short sentence, but it was full of hidden meanings.
Ding Wei narrowed his eyes and stared at him. He really wanted to ask what he was thinking. How dare he speak to him like this? If it wasn't for the fact that he was an inspector, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have the power to kill inspectors, he would have killed him right now.
Ding Wei didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and several flying mounts rose into the sky. The group of people jumped on them and left.
He didn't agree to Niu Youdao's request, but he didn't refuse either. The key was that the inspectors were inspecting the Misty Pavilion, and the Immeasurable Garden belonged to the Misty Pavilion in name.
"Quick!" Niu Youdao didn't stand on ceremony and waved at Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie. The three of them quickly jumped on their flying mounts and chased after them.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie looked at each other in dismay. They had no idea why Niu Youdao was talking to Ding Wei like that.
"Elder, I'm afraid you've offended Ding Wei," Qin Guan reminded him kindly.
Niu Youdao chuckled. "Offend? We've already offended him. What's the difference if we offend him again or not? That's right, he has a high position, but he can't do anything to us. He has no right to punish us. "
The two of them sighed, feeling that the elder was just throwing caution to the wind.
Ke Dingjie: "Elder, other people can't wait to avoid the Immeasurable Garden. Why do we have to go there!?"
Niu Youdao: "It's precisely because everyone else is hiding that we have to go. Something so big had happened in the Immeasurable Garden, but the inspectors didn't even dare to ask about it. How could they still be inspectors? I'm afraid of angering The Lord, so it's fine even if it's just a show. Besides, don't you want to go to the Immeasurable Garden to broaden your horizons? Hurry up, don't lose him. "
Ke Dingjie shook his bell and ordered his flying mount to fly at full speed.
Reminded by the person beside him, Ding Wei turned around to take a look and realized that Niu Youdao had really caught up to him. He was a little angry, but due to the restrictions of the Nine Saints, there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to deal with him, he could only find an opportunity.
Not long after, Niu Youdao and the other two finally caught up and followed Ding Wei's group …
The sky was vast, and the earth was boundless. When a large area of fire appeared in the boundless forest, Ding Wei and his party finally arrived.
Ding Wei did not rush to land. Instead, he led the team and hovered in the sky for a while to check the situation in the area.
After checking for a while in the air, then checking for a while at a low altitude, they finally landed on a hill. Ding Wei walked to the front, raised his hand, and showed the token of the Misty Pavilion's leader. Facing the burnt mountain, he yelled, "Open the gate!"
After waiting for a while, a light blue crack pattern twisted in the void and suddenly expanded, turning into a light blue inverted bowl-shaped ripple. Within the ripple, the mountains, rivers, and pavilions seemed to appear out of thin air.
A crack appeared on the curved surface of the bowl, and a group of people came out. The leader was a white-haired old man. He asked: "Why are you here, Leader?"
Ding Wei kept the token and replied: "Such a big thing happened, so I came to take a look."
The white-haired old man said: "You know the situation here. It's not suitable for a group of people to come in. Two followers should be enough."
Ding Wei nodded slightly and said: "You two come in with me, the others stay outside."
Niu Youdao who was at the side became anxious and rushed forward: "Mister Ding, what about me?"
Ding Wei ignored him.
Niu Youdao immediately waved his hand and called Qin and Ke over. Together, they moved closer to the white-haired old man and asked: "Senior, we are under the Holy Venerable's order to inspect the Misty Pavilion. Can't we go in?"
Qin and Ke really did not know what to say to the elder and could only follow him.
"Inspecting?" The white-haired old man was puzzled and looked back at Ding Wei: "Is that so?"
What could Ding Wei say? He could only nod slightly.
The white-haired old man frowned and did not say anything more. He turned to the side and let them in.
Although he let them in, they still had to be inspected. Apart from the Nine Saints, anyone who entered or left this place had to be inspected. Generally, they were not allowed to bring in or out of this place. Only the daily necessities of the people in the Immeasurable Garden were allowed to enter. The necessities were also strictly inspected.
One person was searched by three people at the same time. Even Ding Wei was not spared and obediently accepted the inspection.
Some accessories, including weapons, were removed from the outside.
After confirming that there were no problems, Ding Wei and the others were let in.
Once they entered, the entrance of the protective array quickly closed again. The entire array suddenly shrunk, and with a flash of blue light, the Immeasurable Garden disappeared into thin air.
The people waiting outside the array looked at each other. The mountains and rivers in front of them were gone just like that. It was a pitch-black and scorched area again.
The people inside looked at the situation outside without any changes. Everything outside could still be seen clearly. It was very magical.
Niu Youdao and the other two looked around. It was their first time entering such a forbidden area, so they could not help but be curious.
"I heard that the Holy Venerable is here?" Ding Wei, who was walking beside the white-haired old man, asked.
The white-haired old man sighed: "They arrived the day after the incident. They did not stay here for long. They personally asked about the situation before leaving."
He spoke casually, but Ding Wei could tell that the Nine Sages were definitely angry. It would be strange if the people here did not get scolded.
The Immeasurable Garden was more like a paradise. The pavilions were arranged in picturesque disorder. Niu Youdao, who was following them, was constantly observing the terrain. Many people in the garden poked their heads out of the doors or windows to look at them.
Along the way, Niu Youdao saw a familiar face, and the other party was clearly surprised.
Ao Feng, who was leaning against the railing of the pavilion, had a shocked expression. He thought that someone had come, but he saw Niu Youdao.
On the day of the incident, Niu Youdao had told him that he would enter the Immeasurable Garden in a few days. He thought that Niu Youdao had gone crazy, but he did not expect that he would really come.
After seeing Ding Wei, he understood that he had followed Ding Wei here.
He did not know what method Niu Youdao had used to get Ding Wei to bring him into the Immeasurable Garden.
With Ding Wei leading the way, he was much more at ease. He was afraid that Niu Youdao would act recklessly. It would be strange if some bullshit inspector came to the Immeasurable Garden without permission.
Niu Youdao paid attention to Ao Feng's residence and memorized it.
He had wanted to find a way to take a look at the Immeasurable Fruit Tree, but who knew that Ding Wei would save him the trouble. Ding Wei went straight to the Immeasurable Fruit Tree at the center of the Immeasurable Garden.
At the center, there was a stream flowing from an unknown source, and there was a towering tree on the 'isolated island'.
The isolated island was completely empty, leaving behind a large empty space. Anyone who wanted to approach the island would inevitably be discovered.
There were nine pavilions around the empty space, and Niu Youdao could tell at a glance that they were guarded by the people of the Nine Great Holy Lands.
The moment they arrived, several people immediately emerged from each of the nine pavilions to keep a close eye on them.
The lone tree on the island was not very tall, only about five zhang tall. However, its branches were wide, like a dark green canopy.
Niu Youdao stared at the tree. Needless to say, that tree should be the legendary Immeasurable Fruit Tree.
As the group approached the stream flowing around the island, they saw three crows with glowing red eyes shoot out from the crown of the tree. In an instant, they turned into three men with dark skin and faces. They stood under the tree and looked in three different directions. Then, they turned their heads and stared at the group with glowing red eyes. It was a very strange sight. They were the Guardian Crow Generals.
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows. The Guardian Crow Generals they were facing matched a person he had drawn before.
The white-haired old man raised his hand to stop the group. "Captain Ding, don't get any closer. Just walk around. If you get any closer, something will happen."
It was also Ding Wei's first time approaching the Immeasurable Fruit Tree. He immediately stopped and asked, "When the incident happened, everything was fine here, right?"
The white-haired old man said, "It was fine here. The incident happened outside. Everything is fine inside the Immeasurable Garden."
As the two of them asked about the incident, Niu Youdao secretly used his Dharma Eye to observe the Immeasurable Fruit Tree.
The canopy of the tree was formed by twelve main branches. In each branch, a dark red fruit could be seen. The skin was rough and shaped like a lychee's shell. It was about the size of a fist and indeed looked like a heart.
What was even more amazing was that the 'heart' seemed to be alive. It was as if it had a heartbeat. A faint red light seeped out from the uneven concave parts of the fruit shell.
This was the legendary Immeasurable Fruit. A fruit that could glow was an eye-opener for those who saw it for the first time.
Niu Youdao, who had been observing the Immeasurable Fruit for a while, suddenly came back to his senses. He walked towards the two of them and interrupted Ding Wei. "Captain, I want to find someone else to ask about the incident and see if we can find anything."
Ding Wei didn't reply. He looked at the white-haired old man as if asking if it was okay.
The white-haired old man sized up Niu Youdao. He didn't say no. After all, Niu Youdao was the Inspector of the Nine Saints. He only tilted his head and signaled his followers behind him. "Two of you, follow him closely!"
"Yes!" The follower cupped his hands in acknowledgment.
Niu Youdao cupped his hands in thanks and led Qin and Ke away.
They didn't turn around and went straight to where they came from. When they came across a house, they knocked on the door and asked the people inside to come out for questioning.
During the questioning, Niu Youdao asked the two people sent by the white-haired old man to leave, but the two refused.
"Don't worry, we won't avoid your surveillance. We'll just talk outside. We'll let you see, but we can't let you hear what we're talking about."
"No."
"It's not that I don't believe you. Before the truth is out, everyone in the Immeasurable Garden is a suspect. I want to prevent the suspects from colluding with each other."
Faced with such a statement, the two of them couldn't make the decision. One of them went to ask the white-haired old man for instructions. The result was that they agreed.
After that, Niu Youdao gestured for Qin and Ke to stand further away from the other two. The reason was that Qin and Ke could stop once they were sure that they couldn't hear the conversation. It was obvious that he wanted to prevent the two people following them from overhearing the conversation.
Just like that, Niu Youdao used his status as the Misty Pavilion's inspector to start his questioning. His questions were all nonsense, asking about the situation at the time of the incident.
The two people sent by the Immeasurable Garden stared intently.
