Whether they understood it or not, they had no choice but to accept it. Lu Wushuang had personally issued a decree for them to obey Niu Youdao's orders.
Niu Youdao was now holding onto Lu Wushuang's "arrow of command". No matter what orders he gave, no one dared to disobey.
After the group discussed their return route, they split up. Along the way, they were all on high alert.
Although they felt deeply troubled, they felt that the trip was not in vain. Not only did they have the chance to enter the Wuliang Garden, they even met one of the Nine Sages, Lu Wushuang.
Before this, other than Niu Youdao who had secretly seen Luo Qiu, no one else had seen what the Nine Sages looked like.
Niu Youdao, who was leading the group to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, ordered them to stop midway. The four of them hid deep in the mountains for the night.
They were not far from the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. They would arrive in at most two hours. What was the meaning of stopping now? Kun Linshu and the other two did not know what Niu Youdao was thinking. When they asked, Niu Youdao did not say anything. He only told them to rest and build up their strength.
During the night, the three of them noticed that Niu Youdao was drawing something in the dark.
Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie were filled with bewilderment and worry. They realized that Elder Niu's actions were getting stranger and stranger. They could not understand him at all.
The reason why they were worried was that the two of them were involved in the matter of the guards on the ninth floor being removed. Others thought that the guards on the ninth floor were called away for investigation. Only the two of them knew that there was a short period of time when all the guards on the ninth floor were removed.
What was the nature of this? There was a time when the Immeasurable Fruit was left unguarded!
In addition, the two of them knew that Ao Feng was still in the Wuliang Garden. With Ao Feng helping Elder Niu to make false testimony, it was not difficult to guess what might have happened. The two of them felt a lingering fear just thinking about it.
However, the strange thing was that the Immeasurable Fruit that they had been worried about until they came out was actually unharmed. Could it be that they were overthinking?
In the darkness before dawn, when the sky was at its darkest, Niu Youdao called for the three of them to set off again.
When the sky was slightly brighter, the Desolate Swamp Wasteland could be seen in the distance. Niu Youdao took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and passed it to Qin Guan. "Later, go directly to this place and leave the bird and the thing to control it at the marked place. Then, go to the next marked place and wait for me there."
Qin Guan looked at the paper and realized that it was a map. The marked places were all within the Desolate Swamp Wasteland.
Kun to follow. Kun to see. Kun, Kun Youdao.
Ke Dingjie looked at the map and couldn't help but ask, "Elder, why are we going there?"
Niu You said, "Just go. You will know when the time comes. Don't ask too many questions … This is for your own good." He turned around and looked at the Kun Lin Tree. "I promised Fire Phoenix that I will ensure your safety in the Saint Realm."
Kun Linshu was stunned. He did not know why Niu Youdao would suddenly say such a thing.
It wasn't that Niu Youdao shouldn't have said something like that, but it felt weird to say something like that at a time like this.
While the three of them were pondering over Niu Youdao's arrangements, the Grey-winged Condor had already neared the edge of the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. Niu Youdao said, "You guys go ahead first. I'll look for you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped away from the Gray-winged Condor and swooped down from the sky.
The three of them looked down and saw Niu Youdao turning into a black dot and disappearing into the misty land.
"What does Daoye want to do?" Kun Linshu suddenly asked. He was still pondering over Niu Youdao's words and felt that something was amiss.
Qin Guan sighed, "The Elder's actions are really hard to understand. It's hard to say, but there must be a reason for this arrangement. In short, let's just follow his arrangements."
"Mm!" Ke Dingjie nodded.
Kun Linshu was still a little puzzled. He did not know the purpose of this trip. It wasn't easy for him to come out, but it seemed like he was just running around and doing nothing …
In a flash, Niu Youdao landed on the peak of a mountain. The eye-catching weathered skeleton was still there. It was the place where Taishu Mountain City had died. Niu Youdao had been to this place many times.
There was a small hole under the towering mountain rock, and something was flashing. Niu Youdao focused his eyes and saw that it was the fox clan leader Heiyun in his original form.
That small hole could only be entered in his original fox form.
Niu Youdao walked slowly to the side of the rock with his sword. Seeing that Heiyun did not dare to come out, he already had a guess. He asked, "The assassins are already here?"
Heiyun replied in a human voice from the hole, "They arrived yesterday and have been hiding in the surroundings. There are a total of fifteen people. How did you know that someone would come here to kill you? "
Niu Youdao smiled. He had purposely lured them here. How could he not know? He had only set off from Heaven Seeking City after confirming from Sha Rulai that some people had already made their move. "It's hard to explain in a few sentences now. I'll explain it later. Has everything been arranged according to my plan?"
Heiyun said, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged. The moment there is any movement, my fox clan will immediately respond. As long as you can hold on, we will definitely help you lure the assassins over. "
Niu Youdao said, "Good. Have you obtained the item? "
Speaking of this, Heiyun was slightly excited. "I've already received news that the item was successfully obtained last night. It is currently on the way back. Brother, I'm really in awe of you. So many people covet this item, and yet you managed to obtain it so easily. I'm in awe of you! "
"Easily?" Niu Youdao chuckled. He couldn't be bothered to explain the dangers that had occurred. "Alright, I can't take the tribe leader's flattery anymore. As for the birds, I've already arranged for them to be sent to the predetermined location. Get them to use the birds' legs to bring the item back. This is to prevent any accidents from happening. "
Heiyun said, "Don't worry, everything has been arranged according to your plan. I'll follow it completely. I don't dare to make a single mistake. Be careful, they're coming. "With that, he hid in the depths of the cave and didn't dare to make any more movements.
Niu Youdao also sensed the sound of people flying over. He looked around coldly and saw a group of people flying out from the foot of the mountain. There were no more, no less. There were fifteen masked men dressed in black. Other than their eyes, even their hands were covered.
The fifteen black-clothed masked men had already surrounded the mountain peak.
Niu Youdao looked left and right with cold eyes. He slowly retreated from the side of the towering mountain rock. "Sneaking around and hiding. Who is it?"
A man said in a hoarse voice, "Niu Youdao, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
The morning breeze was cool. Niu Youdao, who was bathed in the morning light, turned around and stared at him. "There's actually someone in the Saint Territory disguised like this. They're definitely up to no good. Looks like they're here to kill me. Who sent them? I'm guessing that other than Ding Wei, there shouldn't be anyone else. Ding Wei is outside and probably won't come personally. Xuan Yao? Is Xuan Yao here? "
As soon as he said this, the man with the hoarse voice immediately revealed a fierce glint in his eyes. He waved his hand and shouted, "Attack!"
In an instant, more than ten people attacked at the same time. Instantly, sword Qi filled the air.
Clang! A cold light was unsheathed. Niu Youdao's body turned into a flash of light and charged forward.
Amidst the rumbling sounds of swords and sabers, two masked men were sent flying by Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao took the opportunity to charge out from the entanglement with his sword.
The leader of the masked men who were watching the battle was slightly shocked. He realized that he seemed to have underestimated Niu Youdao's strength. Niu Youdao actually managed to break out of the encirclement.
However, the name Niu Youdao pointed out had put him in a difficult position. If he allowed Niu Youdao to escape, the consequences would be unthinkable. Thus, he could not let him go so easily. He quickly dashed out and took action personally.
After killing his way out of the encirclement, Niu Youdao leaped from the cliff and flew towards the direction of the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. It was obvious that he could not escape alone.
More than ten killers leaped into the air and chased after him. They worked together to release dense sword Qi that interweaved into a net and enveloped Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao somersaulted in the air and used the Taiyi Diffraction Sword. The sword light was like a blooming lotus. It rumbled and broke the killer's move amidst the strong wind …
The black fox crawled out from the small hole and transformed into his human form to the edge of the cliff. He was a little anxious when he saw the dangerous pursuit, but he could not show himself to help. He could only watch as Niu Youdao dealt with it alone. He waved his hand urgently.
At the bottom of the mountain, a golden wing immediately flapped its wings and flew away …
On the surface of the swamp, Niu Youdao continued to escape. It seemed like he was being hunted down. He was obviously in a sorry state. More than ten killers were chasing after him relentlessly.
At this moment, a group of people appeared in the distance. It was the people from the Demon Fox Department who were chasing after the Demon Fox.
Niu Youdao seemed to have found his savior. As he ran, he conjured his arts and shouted, "Niu Youdao is here. Quickly come and save me!"
The people from the Demon Fox Department had already discovered the commotion. When they heard the shout, they were stunned. They immediately gave up on chasing the Demon Fox and rushed over.
The Demon Fox Department? The leader of the masked assassins was shocked. He remembered that today was the end of the Demon Fox Department's routine clean-up. It was not surprising to see them. However, he did not expect them to return so early.
In a moment of desperation, the leader of the masked assassins leaped into the air at full speed. He ignored the threat of Niu Youdao's attack and shook out a talisman. It was the Heaven Sword Talisman!
The leader of the assassins, who had released a huge amount of energy from the talisman, attacked continuously with both hands. Twelve Heaven Sword Astral Shadows rushed towards Niu Youdao.
F * ck! Niu Youdao cursed in his heart. It was this thing again. He did not dare to delay any longer. He used all his cultivation to dodge and evade the attacks in a panic.
He had experience dealing with this thing. He knew how powerful it was. He had no choice but to dodge.
However, the attacking power of the Heaven Sword Astral Shadows was too fast. In a hurry, he could not dodge all of them with his speed. He quickly escaped into the swamp through the mud waves that shot up into the sky. He intended to use the resistance of the swamp as a counterforce.
Some things could not be avoided. Niu Youdao, who was in the mud, could only use his sword to block it.
Explosions shook the sky as mud shot into the sky. The leader of the assassins stared at the healed ground before looking at the people of the Bewitching Fox Bureau rushing over. He did not have the time to continue digging. The Bewitching Fox Bureau had the advantage in numbers. Once he was caught, it would be troublesome.
He could feel that his Heaven Sword Talisman had already hit Niu Youdao. He did not know if it had killed him. However, he could not care so much now. He called out, "Let's go!"
More than ten silhouettes immediately flew away.
When the people of the Bewitching Fox Bureau arrived, one group chased after him. The other group looked around, searching for Niu Youdao. They even sent people to dig into the mud to search.
They had all seen with their own eyes that Niu Youdao had been attacked by the Heaven Sword Talisman here and had been smashed into the ground.
After a while, the new deacon of the Bewitching Fox Bureau, Zhou Tian Yu, arrived. When he heard that Niu Youdao was being chased here, he was shocked and ordered people to increase the search.
After a while, a person came out of the mud and shouted, "Deacon, I found him!"
Everyone turned to look. They saw that person carrying a mud man out of the ground. The mud man was holding onto a sword tightly. Fresh blood mixed with the mud on the back of the mud man and quickly dyed the ground red.
Zhou Tianyu flashed over, his hands quickly pulling at the face of the clay figurine, revealing Niu Youdao's face.
"Deacon, the situation is bad." The person carrying the person said nervously.
