Xuan Yao waited for Huang Ban to deal with the urgent report and asked, "I heard that the Peerless Sacred Land detained the people from the other seven sects. Is this related to this?"
Huang Ban shook his head. "It's not detained, but protected. Before Niu Youdao died, the people from the other eight sects should have been together. I don't know what they did, but they seemed to be with Lv Wushuang. When they returned, they were immediately protected by the Peerless Sacred Land. Only Niu Youdao did not return and was assassinated! "
Xuan Yao was shocked. "Niu Youdao was with Lv Wushuang? What were they doing together? "This was completely out of his expectation. He could not figure out why Niu Youdao and Lv Wushuang were together.
Huang Ban said, "I also want to know what they were doing together. Why are they acting like they are facing a great enemy? I went to ask, but the people from the other seven sects refused to say anything. They said that without the Saint's permission, they would not dare to divulge anything. "
Xuan Yao's eyes were full of doubt and shock. He was pondering on the side.
Huang Ban pondered for a while and suddenly sighed. "Brother Xuan, something that Lv Wushuang is involved in is not a small matter. If Niu Youdao's death is related to this, I'm afraid that Niu Youdao's death will not be easily forgotten! When the Saint is angry, blood will flow like a river. It is very likely that a lot of lives will be taken! "
Xuan Yao's mouth was a little dry. He did not say anything, but his Adam's apple moved. He could not figure out why Lv Wushuang was involved. This matter was probably not going to end well …
Peerless Sacred Land, Jade Palace Pavilion. Lv Wushuang, who was looking up at the stars, suddenly turned around and asked sternly, "Dead?"
The disciple who reported the news, Hua Meiru, presented the report with both hands. "Yes! He was attacked by a group of masked men in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. According to his injuries, he should have died under the attack of the Heavenly Sword Talisman! "
Lv Wushuang reached out with two slender fingers and flipped the paper over. She coldly swept her eyes over the contents and suddenly sneered, "How interesting. The mastermind behind the scenes is quite powerful. Niu Youdao had just arrived at the Limitless Garden when someone tried to silence him. They really can't wait! Niu Youdao must have grasped hold of something that the other party is afraid of. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so impatient! "
Hua Meiru was surprised. "Honorable master said that Niu Youdao is investigating the Immeasurable Garden?"
The paper in Lv Wushuang's hand trembled, turning into dust that was blown away by the wind. "It seems like I have to personally make a trip to the Heaven Seeking City."
Hua Meiru was taken aback. "Didn't Master just send Junior Brother to the Heaven Seeking City?"
There was no reply. She still wanted to ask her master what he wanted her junior apprentice brother to do in the Heaven Seeking City. The only reply she got was a whistling sound. Her master had already turned into a shadow under the moon and shot into the sky …
Limitless Garden. Ao Feng, who had just come out of his house and was about to look for Deacon Jin Xu, stopped in his tracks.
He saw a group of people, a group of people that surprised him. They were people from the Void Holy Lands, and the leader was his master, Ye Nian.
He saw Ye Nian leading a group of people straight to the Void Hall where the deacon resided. Ao Feng immediately rushed over to greet him.
When he arrived, he found that Ye Nian had already surrounded Deacon Jin Xu. A few of the Void Holy Lands' members looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what was going on.
Deacon Jin Xu looked around and said in a low voice, "Ye Nian, what is the meaning of this?"
Ye Nian stared at him. "I don't have any other meaning. I am here on the Holy Venerable's decree to ask you a few questions."
Jin Xu said in a low voice, "Since it is the Holy Venerable's decree, this subordinate will respectfully ask."
Ye Nian: "The inspectors of the eight sects came to the Limitless Garden a few days ago. Were you the one who passed the news to the Void Holy Lands?"
Jin Xu: "Yes! They wanted to barge in, but I didn't let them. Unfortunately, they were carrying the Holy Venerable's decree, so I couldn't forcefully stop them. I could only let them pass. After letting them pass, I definitely had to report this matter to the Holy Venerable. Is there something wrong with that? "
Ye Nian nodded. "That's right! Let me ask you, other than you who sent out the golden-winged message on that day, was there anyone else who sent out the golden-winged message? "
Jin Xu: "That day, it was my Void Holy Lands' turn to guard the gate, and I was in charge of opening the array gate. Every time the array gate opened, I was present. Other than a single golden-winged message that I ordered someone to send out, there was no one else. However, after the Void Holy Lands handed over their duty, I don't know if the people from the other factions were sent out. "
Ye Nian: "In other words, you admit that other than you, there was no one else who sent out the message?"
Jin Xu: "On the surface, that seems to be the case. However, there were many people who went in and out that day, so I can't guarantee that no one sent out the message."
Ye Nian: "Since that's the case, I'm afraid I'll have to inconvenience Uncle Jin first." He waved his hand, and the people who came with him immediately swarmed forward, restraining Jin Xu on the spot.
The other party had come in the name of Du Wuxu. Although Jin Xu didn't dare to resist, he still struggled a few times. He said unwillingly, "Ye Nian, why are you arresting me?"
Ye Nian: "Uncle Jin, the innocent will know their innocence, and the guilty will know their innocence. You are Master's trusted aide, so no one dares to mistreat you. This is Master's intention. He wants you to first return to the holy land and cooperate with the investigation of a case. Once the case is solved, you will naturally be freed. I will temporarily take over here for you! "
Jin Xu shouted, "Just what did I do wrong?"
Ye Nian: "Whether or not you did anything wrong, you will know when you arrive at the holy land." He waved his hand and shouted, "Take him away!"
Just like that, Jin Xu was taken away. This action quickly alarmed the entire Immeasurable Garden, and everyone appeared to watch as Jin Xu was taken away.
All sorts of whispers and discussions arose. Some people even suspected that the traitor of the Immeasurable Garden was Jin Xu.
Because of the disturbance caused by the inspectors of the eight sects, everyone had been speculating about the traitor.
After personally watching Jin Xu leave the Immeasurable Garden, Ye Nian went to greet the other eight attendants. The other eight attendants asked what had happened, but Ye Nian refused to divulge anything.
After returning to Voidless Hall, Ye Nian called Ao Feng over.
Ao Feng couldn't avoid greeting his master. Ye Nian lightly raised his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities. He asked, "When the inspectors of the eight sects came to investigate, were you on duty at the gate?"
Ao Feng was nervous. He didn't know what was going on, but he had a guilty conscience. He couldn't help but associate it with the theft, but he couldn't understand. If they had discovered the theft, how could they have been so kind? He didn't see any movement from the fruit tree. Recently, he had been paying attention to the fruit tree's reaction.
Moreover, if they discovered the theft, why would they capture Jin Xu?
"Yes, I was on duty!" Ao Feng carefully replied.
Ye Nian: "On that day, besides Jin Xu, was there anyone else?"
Ao Feng: "There was only Jin Xu. I didn't see anyone else." After a while, there was no response. He looked up and saw that his master seemed to be thinking about something. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, did Old Jin do something wrong?"
Glancing at his disciple, Ye Nian didn't hide it from him. "The day after Niu Youdao left the Immeasurable Garden, he was assassinated in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland!"
"Ah!" Ao Feng paled in fright. Niu Youdao was dead? My god, this joke was too big!
He had gone through so much trouble to steal something and deliver it. If Niu Youdao was dead, who would take responsibility for it? Was there any point in him going to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland?
He had taken so many risks and spent so much effort. He couldn't accept this result. He actually stuttered, "How … how is this possible?"
Ye Nian coldly said, "What's impossible? Niu Youdao was investigating the Immeasurable Garden. If no one else spread the news, then Jin Xu is the most suspicious person. From the time of Niu Youdao's death, someone must have leaked the news that day. That's why they didn't have time to prepare. Why did they kill Niu Youdao at this time? It was terrifying thinking about it! Once the news of Niu Youdao's death reached the holy land, it immediately aroused the Holy Venerable's suspicion. The Holy Venerable immediately ordered everyone in the holy land who might have come into contact with Jin Xu's message. Investigate it thoroughly! "
Ao Feng: "This … could also be leaked by Niu Youdao and the others after they left."
Ye Nian: "That's why we have to investigate! Hopefully, Jin Xu's message wasn't leaked. Otherwise, the Holy Venerable will be furious … "He shook his head and didn't continue. He only sighed.
Ao Feng was completely at a loss. He originally wanted to take a year off from Jin Xu and use the opportunity to leave. Who knew that Jin Xu would be captured and replaced by his master? This wasn't a big deal. The biggest problem now was that Niu Youdao was dead. He couldn't decide whether he should leave the Immeasurable Garden or not.
How could he die? He really couldn't figure it out. He knew too well that there was no such thing as a traitor. How could Niu Youdao be killed because a traitor leaked the news? It was impossible! But the holy land couldn't have made a mistake. Niu Youdao was definitely dead!
He was really speechless now. How could this be …
Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged in the stone room, slowly opened his eyes. He breathed out a breath of blood. His entire body had recovered.
Seeing that he had finished recuperating, the three people who had been quietly waiting by the side immediately surrounded him. Qin Guan said, "The Fox Clan's Clan Head has sent someone with a message. He says that Elder has woken up and wants to inform you that the item has arrived.
Niu Youdao nodded and stood up. He took a step forward and stopped. He looked at Kun Linshu and asked, "How are your injuries?"
Kun Linshu shook his head. "I've already taken the medicine. I can't use any techniques. At most, my recovery will be slower, but it's not a big deal!"
Niu Youdao said, "It's not that I don't trust you, but there are some important matters that I can't let you go out for now. I might have to inconvenience the three of you to stay here for a long time. I sealed your magic power because I'm afraid you won't be able to think things through and will forcibly run out. Especially you, Kun Linshu. On account of your relationship with the Heavenly Fire Cult, you might go and remind them of something. There are some feelings that I can help you with, and there are some that I cannot help you with. Regardless of whether you can think things through or not, I have to temporarily control you here. This is for your own good. You will understand in the future! "
Kun Linshu said quietly, "Just listen to Daoye's arrangements."
Niu Youdao raised his hand, indicating for the three to stop and left alone.
The moment he appeared, someone from the fox clan quickly informed Heiyun. Soon, Heiyun and the others came out to welcome him. They all seemed excited.
"I heard that the item has arrived?" Niu Youdao asked.
"Yes! Come. "Heiyun extended his hand to lead the way.
The few of them entered a stone room that was personally guarded by two elders. Heiyun walked to the side of the altar and opened a jade box. A soft red light immediately seeped out.
Niu Youdao took a closer look. There were twelve Immeasurable Fruits lying peacefully inside. He reached out and picked one up to examine it.
Heiyun said excitedly, "What are you going to do with this thing?"
Niu Youdao casually threw it to him. "Let's save and recover the old clan leader first!"
Seeing that he was not stingy in thinking of the old clan leader, the fox demons immediately nodded and cheered. They looked at Niu Youdao with an additional trace of kindness. After all, this was a very precious and priceless treasure!
