The meaning behind these words caused the members of the other seven sects to secretly feel apprehensive.
Tai-shu Shan Hai, who had always considered himself to be an expert among the Eight Sects, had also become very well-behaved in this place. Who dared to speak so forcefully?
Today, the members of the various sects had witnessed the boldness of this Purple Gold Cave Elder. They were ashamed of their inferiority, and had no choice but to accept it!
The grey-haired old man stopped and slowly turned around. "I'll say it again. This is not a place for you to behave atrociously. Get out of my sight, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Niu Youdao strode forward. "What do you mean by impolite? Are you going to attack the inspector sent by The Lord? "
The gray-haired old man's lips twitched, but his attitude remained unyielding. "This is my duty. No one is allowed to trespass into the Immeasurable Garden. All trespassers will be killed without mercy!"
It was impossible for him to let people enter the Immeasurable Garden so easily. Whoever was on duty would have to bear the responsibility if something happened. Today, it was the turn of the people from the Voidless Holy Lands to be on duty, which was them.
Niu Youdao: "Alright! I was ordered by the Lord to supervise, and it was my duty to do so. I could not ignore some of the problems that I discovered, or else I would not be able to answer to The Lord. Now, I would like to ask Senior a few questions, and I hope Senior can cooperate! As long as Senior can explain it clearly, I will immediately leave and not take half a step into the Immeasurable Garden. We won't make things difficult for each other. How about it? "
The gray-haired old man hesitated for a moment. Slowly, he said, "If I can say it, I can say it. If I can't, I won't say a word!"
"Senior is an understanding person." Niu Youdao cupped his hands together to show his respect. Then, he asked seriously, "Earlier, there was a huge fire outside the Immeasurable Garden. Senior, may I ask if that fire was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"
Slowly, the grey-haired old man replied, "According to some signs, it should be arson."
Niu Youdao immediately interrogated, "Who did it?"
The grey-haired old man replied, "How would I know? If I knew, I would have reported it long ago. I wouldn't have waited for you to ask. "
Niu Youdao: "Why did you set the fire?"
The gray-haired old man said, "If we don't know who started the fire, we naturally don't know why."
Niu Youdao: "Could it be that Senior didn't have any guesses about the intention of arson? Didn't you make any connections?"
The gray-haired old man said, "What's the point of thinking without any evidence?"
Niu Youdao: "Without any evidence? In other words, Senior is suspecting something. Can Senior tell me your suspicions so that I can verify them? "
The gray-haired old man said, "That's not what I meant. I said I wouldn't think too much."
Niu Youdao: "Alright! Then may I ask Senior, could the intention of the arsonist be coveting the Immeasurable Fruit? "
The gray-haired old man was silent for a long time before replying, "I can't rule out that possibility."
Niu Youdao: "Since Senior knows me, I've come here to investigate before, I'm sure Senior also knows. When I came to investigate earlier, I discovered that the area of arson was very large, and there was more than one place set on fire. It should not have been done by one person, but by many people at the same time. It was an organized operation. I wonder if Senior agrees with my point of view? "
The gray-haired old man nodded slightly, but he didn't say anything definite. "That's possible."
Niu Youdao: "Who dares to set fire to the Immeasurable Garden? Moreover, it was an organized operation. To dare to do such a thing in the Immeasurable Garden and even organize a group of people to work together, this person should have a certain level of power in the Sage Realm. I think so, does Senior agree? "
The gray-haired old man subconsciously stared at Niu Youdao's eyes seriously. There seemed to be no need to ask about these reasons. By right, everyone should have their suspicions. He did not know what this person was trying to achieve by asking all these questions step by step. He was a little confused, but he still said the same thing. "It's possible!"
Niu Youdao: "I've come to the Immeasurable Garden before, and I've asked people to interrogate about this matter. Does Senior know about it?"
The gray-haired old man naturally knew about it. His people from the Wuxu Holy Ground had also been interrogated by this person. He snorted, "So what if I know?"
Niu Youdao: "Arson in the Immeasurable Garden, could it be that someone was coveting the Immeasurable Fruit? I suspected this at that time. With this suspicion in mind, I interrogated a few people at that time, and in the process of interrogating them, I discovered some suspicious points. After leaving the Immeasurable Garden, I ran all over the place, following this suspicious point all the way, and finally, I found some clues. The arson should be just a cover to alarm the people in the Immeasurable Garden to come out. There should be people in the Immeasurable Garden cooperating with them, intending to take the opportunity to bring out the Immeasurable Fruit. However, for some reason, they failed to do so! "
The gray-haired old man was quite surprised, "You said that there is a spy in the Immeasurable Garden?"
Not to mention him, even a group of people from the Wuxu Holy Ground who came out at the same time and were guarding the entrance of the Immeasurable Garden were secretly shocked.
Taishu Shanhai and the others also had dignified expressions. They finally understood the purpose of coming here. There was actually a spy in the Immeasurable Garden. Everyone felt that this was a great responsibility!
Niu Youdao: "According to some clues I found, that should be the case."
The gray-haired old man: "Who is the spy?"
Niu Youdao: "It could be anyone! Before I have any concrete evidence, I cannot tell you who the suspect is. The people involved in this matter are no small matter. You can imagine how much courage and background the person who dares to set the Immeasurable Garden on fire must have. I don't know if senior has heard of the death of the Bank of the World's Hong Yunfa. His death was very strange. He actually died under strict secrecy before being arrested. Just thinking about it, it is extremely terrifying! This is also the reason why the Holy Venerable asked the sects to set up inspectors. "
"Hong Yunfa's death is a lesson to be learned! Once the news is leaked before we have any concrete evidence, all the clues will be destroyed. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find any more evidence. This is the reason why we suddenly came here. "
As he spoke, he waved his hand and pointed at the people of the eight sects, "In the Saint Realm, the Holy Venerable left us eight inspectors. Our eight sects working together to investigate a case has never happened before. This time, our eight sects came out in full force to investigate the clues as quickly as possible, not giving the mastermind a chance to cut off all the clues! "
"But senior, you! You actually used the so-called rules of the Immeasurable Garden to defy the inspectors that the Holy Venerable gave us and deliberately intercepted us! "
"If senior wants to stop us, we cannot force our way in. But senior needs to know that it is not difficult for the mastermind to guess our intentions. "
"We can leave, but what does this mean? We have already alerted the enemy! If we leave, it means that we have given the mastermind time, and it means that we have to cut off all the clues that we are about to catch! "
"Senior, what are your intentions in deliberately delaying and obstructing us?"
The grey-haired old man immediately said angrily, "Are you suspecting that I am a spy?"
Niu Youdao held the sword in front of him with both hands and stood perfectly straight. He said resolutely with an awe-inspiring aura, "The Holy Venerable has decreed that apart from the nine sacred grounds, there is no place in the saint realm that we cannot inspect, including the Immeasurable Garden. Otherwise, why would I have entered last time? This time, senior did not hesitate to go against the Holy Venerable's decree. Your actions go against common sense and are extremely abnormal. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are deliberately obstructing us. It is hard for me not to suspect senior! Senior's various actions, how can I not be suspicious? If it were you, senior, would you be suspicious? "
He raised his hand, one hand holding the sword, and the other pointing at the old man. "Just based on senior's current actions, we can take you down and interrogate you right now!"
The grey-haired old man shouted angrily, "Who dares?"
Niu Youdao raised his sword and cupped his fists towards the sky to show his respect to the Nine Holy Lands. He then pointed at the people at the entrance and said sternly, "We are acting according to the Holy Venerable's decree. Who dares to obstruct us!"
Hearing this, the people of Wuxu Holy Lands looked at each other, and their hearts started to beat nervously. If the other party really wanted to take them down for interrogation, they did not know whether they should stop him or not.
The grey-haired old man's face kept changing between red and white. He was so angry that he did not know how to defend himself. He gritted his teeth and said, "Nonsense!"
Niu Youdao was aggressive and did not give in. He said in a cadence, "It is not important whether I am talking nonsense or not. Senior should be thinking about how to explain senior's abnormal actions to the Holy Venerable later!"
What was called being overbearing? Taishu Shanhai and the others had seen it for themselves. At least, if it was them, they would not be able to do it, nor would they dare to do it.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were secretly speechless. Elder Niu was indeed Elder Niu. With this kind of momentum, no one in Purple Golden Cave could match him. Even the Sect Master was far inferior. With this kind of momentum, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one person in Purple Golden Cave!
Kun Linshu was speechless and looked at him in a daze. He could clearly feel the gap between him and Niu Youdao.
Wei Ye, who was on duty at the entrance, also looked at him in a daze.
Ao Feng's expression occasionally twitched, and he cursed in his heart. Motherf * cker, how can you say such things?
He had to give it to Niu Youdao. He spoke so seriously. If he did not know the other party's intentions, even he would have believed him.
He could see that Niu Youdao was determined to enter the Immeasurable Garden today!
Niu Youdao's determined behavior made him realize that Niu Youdao was determined to make a move this time. Could he really take away the fruits on the tree?
Things had come to a head, and this was no small matter. He was really afraid, abnormally nervous and afraid.
He cursed in his heart, "Bastard, why didn't you inform me before making a move? You came so suddenly, and I was not mentally prepared at all."
The grey-haired old man was already frightened by Gu Xijiu's words. At first, he felt that he was in the right, but now that he was being criticized, he felt a little guilty. He really did not know how to explain to the Holy Venerable later. Would he be able to explain clearly if he had aroused the Holy Venerable's suspicion?
But if he let him in just like that, how could he save his face? He gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "How I explain is my business. You don't have to worry about it!"
"Senior, please look at the big picture!" The arrogant and aggressive Niu Youdao suddenly softened. He held his sword with both hands and cupped his fists. After a deep bow, he said respectfully, sincerely, and earnestly, "Senior, our inspection rights were bestowed by the Nine Saints. Everyone knows very well why we were given such rights. It is not against the rules for us to enter the Immeasurable Garden to investigate, and it is reasonable! "
"Of course, we can leave just like that, but knowing that someone is behind the arson, knowing that we are about to get the clues, and knowing that we are about to get them, we have to watch our work fail, and we have to watch the mastermind get away scot-free. How can we have the heart to do that?"
After that, he cupped his fists at the group of people from the Wuxu Holy Ground behind the grey-haired old man and pleaded, "Everyone, this is an urgent matter. Please be magnanimous!"
