He didn't know what Niu Youdao wanted to do, but he knew that Niu Youdao must have a reason for doing so.
After following Niu Youdao for a long time, he knew that Niu Youdao didn't need to ask questions that he didn't want to answer. Even if he kept asking, he wouldn't get any results.
On the other side, Ke Dingjie was hiding at the corner of an alley, leaning against the wall and looking up at the sky. He seemed to be thinking about something.
When he heard footsteps, he quickly peeked around the corner. When he saw someone enter Xuan Yao's room, his eyes flashed and he quickly turned around.
"Did he really say that?" Xuan Yao turned around suddenly.
The man replied, "I heard it clearly. There's no mistake."
"He wants to kill me?" Xuan Yao muttered, pacing back and forth, his face darkening.
The man replied, "Yes, that's what he said. I heard it with my own ears. I don't think it's nonsense. You should be careful, Sir, lest you fall into a trap."
Xuan Yao stopped in front of him. "When is he going to kill me?"
The man replied, "He didn't say. He only said that he would do it before Sir. Since he's confident that he can do it before Sir, it shouldn't be long. "
Xuan Yao asked in a low voice, "Did he say how he would kill me?"
The man shook his head. "No! His disciples asked him, but he was very tight-lipped and didn't reveal any clues. "
Xuan Yao said, "Don't miss a word. You must tell him everything clearly."
"Yes. After I saw where they were heading, I arrived ahead of them … "The incomer recounted the entire process of eavesdropping and the content of the conversation in detail.
Xuan Yao frowned after listening to the story. He didn't know when or how he would do it. This was troublesome.
If he knew when he would do it, he could be prepared. If he knew how he would do it, he could set up a trap in advance and force the other party to walk into the trap. Then he could kill him justifiably.
Now that he didn't know anything, he was indeed on tenterhooks. He said that he would die a sullen death like Long Fanhai. Did Long Fanhai die a sullen death? It was indeed sullen! He had to admit that Niu Youdao's methods were sometimes hard to guard against.
To him, it didn't make much of a difference whether he said it or not.
There were some things that both parties were well aware of. As long as there was a chance, he would not let Niu Youdao off. On the other hand, Niu Youdao would not let him off.
After pacing back and forth for a while, Xuan Yao waved his hand. "You go back first. Continue to keep an eye on them!"
"Yes!" The newcomer acknowledged the order and left.
He was left alone in the building. After pacing back and forth for a while, he walked to the window and looked into the distance. He muttered, "They'll definitely kill me first! I didn't make a move on you, but you want to make a move on me … Five days later, the routine clean-up will be over … Fine, I want to see who will kill who first! "
Dong! With that, he punched the windowsill, as if he had made up his mind!
Ke Dingjie, who had returned to the Demon Fox Bureau's residence, immediately went to look for Niu Youdao and reported: "Elder, that person indeed went to Xuan Yao's residence immediately."
Niu Youdao confirmed. "Are you sure you didn't see the wrong person?"
Ke Dingjie guaranteed, "I saw it clearly, there's no mistake!"
"Good!" Niu Youdao nodded and instructed the other two, "Keep an eye on the other seven sects. If you find any signs of them meeting, inform me immediately. No mistakes!"
"Yes!" The two cupped their fists and accepted the order. Then, they left together and discussed taking turns to keep an eye on the other seven sects. With limited manpower, it was not suitable for the two of them to waste their time there. It would also attract attention.
Although they could come and go freely in Heaven Seeking City as long as they did not trespass into other people's territory, they still had to be careful.
After the two left, Niu Youdao immediately sat behind the table. He took out a piece of paper and dipped his brush in ink, writing a secret letter to Sha Rulai.
Although he had spent a long time setting up this elaborate scheme, he could not afford to make any mistakes at this stage. He had to confirm whether Xuan Yao would follow his plan. If there was an accident, he had to use other means to correct it. He could not allow any accidents to interfere with his plan. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable and all his efforts would go to waste.
Therefore, he needed Sha Rulai's help. He needed Sha Rulai to use her influence in Heaven Seeking City to keep an eye on Xuan Yao's movements.
Again, his manpower was limited. It was not convenient for Ke Dingjie and Qin Guan to keep an eye on the other side of Heaven Seeking City. With their status, they were only suitable to keep an eye on Xuan Yao.
The so-called influence was often reflected in times like this. Many things could not be done by one person alone. Ximen Qingkong was a big, blind man …
Among the eight sects that were left in the Saint Territory, the other seven sects did not have much confidence. They would gather every two or three days. Although they said it was to discuss, they actually wanted to find comfort and comfort themselves so that they could feel more at ease.
After Niu Youdao gave the order, there was a response in less than two days.
In the evening, Qin Guan, who was in charge of observation, hurried over and reported to Niu Youdao, "Elder, the seven sects should be meeting soon. People from each sect are going to the Inspection Division where the Cloud Equipment Sect is."
"Looks like we have to find a place to eat today." Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, smiled and stood up. He called Ke Dingjie and Qin Guan to go with him.
The three of them had just come out of the house when they saw Kun Linshu closing the door to the courtyard. He was holding the food box sent by the Demon Fox Bureau.
Both parties went to greet them. Kun Linshu was somewhat surprised. He looked at the sky. It was getting late. Going out at this time?
It was rare for Niu Youdao and the other two to go out at this time. He could not help but ask, "Is Daoye going out on patrol again?"
Niu Youdao pointed at the food in his hand. "You can use it alone. We will find a place to eat." Afraid that he would overthink, he added jokingly, "It's not that I don't want to bring you along. I might have to meet the people from the Heavenly Fire Sect. I don't want you to feel awkward."
Kun Linshu nodded to express his understanding. He moved a few steps to the side to make way.
Seeing his silence, Niu Youdao was not in a hurry to leave. He asked, "Are you bored staying here all alone?"
Carrying the food box, Kun Linshu shook his head. "This is nothing. I have been in seclusion for ten years."
Niu Youdao sighed. "Bear with it. I will take you out for a stroll later."
Kun Linshu did not comment.
Niu Youdao did not say anything else. He walked forward with large strides. Ke Dingjie rushed ahead to open the door.
Watching the three of them close the door, Kun Linshu walked into the pavilion alone. He opened the food box and placed it on the table. He ate in silence …
"Elder Niu!"
Hearing someone call out to him, Niu Youdao, who seemed to be enjoying the sunset with Qin Guan and Ke, turned around. Seeing that it was Elder Mei Zhanghong of the Blood God Temple, he smiled and cupped his hands. "Elder Mei, I didn't expect to meet you here. Is Elder Mei also here to enjoy the sunset?"
Chance encounter? Qin Guan and Ke looked at each other. It would be strange if they could meet by chance.
Although the two did not know what Niu Youdao wanted to do, they could feel it as they followed beside Niu Youdao. It seemed that the elder who had been running around with nothing to do suddenly changed his pace. The two clearly realized that Elder Niu was already attacking. Something must have happened.
"I don't have your leisure and elegance." Mei Zhanghong chuckled.
Niu Youdao said, "Where are you going?"
Mei Zhanghong said, "The sects are gathering to discuss the matter of the inspector. Since Elder Niu is free, why don't you come with us?"
Niu Youdao propped his sword on the ground with one hand and rubbed his nose with the other. "It's fine if you guys gather. I won't join in the fun." Then he turned to leave.
Mei Zhanghong immediately reached out to stop him. "Elder Niu, this is your fault. The eight sects are united here. What do you mean by always leaving us behind and going alone? "
"Going alone?" Niu Youdao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's a misunderstanding. There's no such thing. I'm just a bit busy and haven't been able to catch up."
Mei Zhanghong said, "In the past, you were always away. I couldn't find you even if I wanted to. Today, I have the time to enjoy the sunset. You can't just say you're busy, right? Come, let's go together! "
"Hehe …" Niu Youdao laughed dryly. "I'm a bit hungry. Let me go back and fill my stomach first."
What kind of reason was this? Qin Guan and Ke were secretly amused. They realized that the elder was quite a grandson. He was the one who took the initiative to come, but when they bumped into each other, he pretended to be unwilling to go.
Mei Zhanghong grabbed Niu Youdao's arm. "Don't worry, there will be plenty of food and drink for you. You won't be hungry!" She directly dragged Niu Youdao away.
"Sigh, I'll go. Don't delay." Niu Youdao, who found it hard to refuse the hospitality, finally followed.
When they arrived at the station of the Patrolling Artificer Cloud Sect, almost all the members of the eight sects had arrived. When everyone saw Niu Youdao, they were surprised. This person who usually appeared and disappeared mysteriously was very difficult to invite. Why did he come today?
Everyone couldn't help but ask. After Mei Zhanghong explained, everyone suddenly realized that Niu Youdao was dragged here by Mei Zhanghong.
"Don't worry. It's rare for Elder Niu to come here. As the host, I would rather starve myself and save some food for Elder Niu to eat first." Taishu Shanhai teased in a strange tone. It seemed like a joke, but his dissatisfaction towards a certain someone was real.
When everyone arrived, as the host, Taishu Shanhai invited everyone to take their seats. Niu Youdao was obedient. He admitted that he was young and inexperienced, so he took the lower seat.
The food on the table was much more sumptuous than when they first arrived. A child who cries has milk to drink. Previously, when they were well-behaved, they were indifferent. But when they started to cause trouble, they reported that they were deliberately making things difficult for them. The Patrolling Division didn't want to cause trouble for small matters, so they tried their best to satisfy them.
The attendants had their own places to eat and drink.
After the host and guests were seated, they raised their cups and exchanged pleasantries. After three cups of wine, they began to talk about the main topic.
Their discussion was about the Patrolling Division. They inquired about each other's situation and discussed the possibility of cooperation.
Although Niu Youdao was present, he hid in the lower seat and ate to his heart's content. He continuously moved his chopsticks but didn't say a word.
It wasn't easy to get him here. How could they let him go? In the end, everyone's gaze landed on this' rice bucket '.
They felt that this person was obviously blocked by Mei Zhanghong and was only here to make up the numbers.
Taishu Shanhai suddenly coughed and asked, "Elder Niu, everyone has told us about the situation. Shouldn't you tell us about the situation of your Demon Fox Division?"
