The palace maids, eunuchs, and palace guards who were startled by the commotion in the distance were all stunned.
Especially the cultivators guarding the palace. After coming to their senses, they all flew over and surrounded Yuan Gang. Someone had killed their elder, so it was impossible for them to not react.
Yuan Gang stopped and held the saber in his hand as he looked around coldly.
The cultivators only surrounded for the time being. No one dared to act rashly. Most of them did not know who the person was or what his background was. However, they had seen how the other party had killed Bai Shangcheng with a single saber strike. Who would dare to touch such strength?
Yu Cang also came back to his senses after being provoked by this group of people. He quickly stepped forward and pushed aside the surrounding cultivators. He shouted, "What are you doing? It's a martial arts competition. What's the point of being inferior to others? All of you, back off! "
Was this a martial arts competition? Everyone looked at each other. Were they going to let it go just like that? Who was the big red face?
Dugu Jing, who had followed him in, waved her hands to the left and right, signaling for everyone to leave. Only then did everyone slowly leave.
Yuan Gang raised his saber and put it back into the self-made leather on his back. He then walked back to the hall he had come out from.
He left as if nothing had happened.
Daring to kill Bai Shangcheng at this time, daring to run into someone else's nest and kill Bai Shangcheng with one strike, was he stupid? He was not stupid at all. He knew very well that the other party would not dare to do anything to him at this time.
A person who could plan certain actions, a person who could uncover internal spies, a person who could make Niu Youdao feel at ease in handing over the affairs of Thatched Cottage Villa, how could he be stupid? Not only was he not stupid, but he was also a person with considerable ability.
It was just that the things he sometimes insisted on and his character were not worth persevering in the eyes of a smart person like Niu Youdao. In the eyes of a smart person like Niu Youdao, it was indeed stupid!
Yu Cang turned his head to look at the two halves of the bloody corpse and sighed. He waved his hand at Dugu Jing, then quickly chased after Yuan Gang.
Dugu Jing immediately called two people over and asked them to quickly clean up Bai Shangcheng's corpse. It was really unsightly to leave it here. She then quickly chased after Yuan Gang.
Yuan Gang went up the steps. Zhuang Hong and her son were waiting on the steps, greeting him. "Mister Yuan."
Yuan Gang gazed at him and nodded slightly. After all, it was a reunion of an old friend.
A trace of admiration flashed across Xia Lingpei's eyes. Only now did he realize that this person was actually so powerful. He had killed an elder of the Waning Moon Pavilion with a single strike, and no one in the Waning Moon Pavilion dared to do anything. After knowing him for so long, he finally realized that Master's brother was also not simple. Master's Thatched Cottage Villa was indeed a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!
Killing an elder of the Waning Moon Pavilion and his people in his home didn't make him sad. Instead, he felt a little excited. He had been a puppet of the Waning Moon Pavilion for too long.
What really excited him was that the other party had killed an elder of the Waning Moon Pavilion, and the Waning Moon Pavilion didn't dare to do anything.
"Mr. Yuan, I've heard about what happened to my teacher. My condolences!" Xia Lingpei sighed.
Daoye is not dead, what is there to mourn for? Yuan Gang didn't want to waste time with these two puppets. He said indifferently, "It's none of your business." After saying that, he walked past them and went straight into the hall.
He didn't want to waste time with them. Of course, it was because of his personality. Another reason was that he didn't want to be close to some people because he didn't want to owe them favors. He was a person who returned favors after owing them. He also knew that his personality could easily be used by evil people, so he avoided too much contact with some people.
The mother and son came enthusiastically and wanted to be the host, but they didn't expect to be given the cold shoulder.
However, the two of them had known Yuan Gang for a long time. They already knew that Yuan Gang was this kind of person when they were in the Thatched Cottage Villa, so they didn't find it strange.
Yu Cang, who was walking up the stairs, saw this and cupped his hands. "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty."
Zhuang Hong looked at the place where the body was kept and asked in confusion, "State Preceptor, why did Mr. Yuan kill Elder Bai?"
Yu Cang didn't know what to say. He sighed and said, "It was a friendly match. Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, Brother Yuan has something to discuss with the Waning Moon Pavilion. You can go back first. "
Zhuang Hong said, "An old friend of the Thatched Cottage Villa is here. I want to host a banquet to welcome him."
Yu Cang said, "I'll ask on behalf of the Empress Dowager later and see what he thinks." He gestured for them to leave first.
The mother and son nodded and left. Before they left, they took another look at Yuan Gang who was standing in the hall.
Yu Cang and his disciple entered the hall and looked at Yuan Gang with a complicated gaze. Their attitude toward Yuan Gang had reached a whole new level. Strength was often the best way to win people's respect. The power of that strike was indeed terrifying!
Before Yu Cang could speak, Yuan Gang asked directly, "When will you go to the Endless Desert to test if the Sand Scorpion can carry people and things?"
Yu Cang forced a smile. He had to force it. One of his elders had just been killed, so it would be strange for him to be happy. He squeezed out a smile and said, "We can do that anytime. However, there's something I don't understand. I hope Brother Yuan can explain it to me."
Yuan Gang said, "I'll say what I can, but I won't say what I can't. What is it?"
Yu Cang tried his best to adapt to Yuan Gang's character and asked doubtfully, "I really can't understand why Brother Yuan would take the initiative to help Qin. Is it Prince Yong's idea?"
Yuan Gang said, "I've already said that I'm here to help Luo Zhao, not Qin."
"Uh …" Yu Cang didn't understand and asked, "Is there a difference?"
Yuan Gang said, "I was asked by someone. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Of course, Yu Cang wasn't satisfied. "May I know who asked you to do this?"
Yuan Gang said, "I can't tell you. I wanted to look for Luo Zhao directly, but there are some things that Luo Zhao can't make the decision on his own. So, I came to you. If you think it's inappropriate, then just pretend that I've never been here. "
"No, no, no. I didn't mean that." Yu Cang quickly pressed his hand to steady him. "I'll order people to prepare for the test in the Endless Desert."
Yuan Gang looked back at the sky and asked, "Can we set off tomorrow morning?"
Yu Cang agreed readily. "Alright. We'll set off tomorrow morning. I'll personally accompany Brother Yuan!"
Yuan Gang reminded, "Don't leak this matter for now."
Yu Cang said, "No need to remind me. I understand. Don't worry, Brother Yuan. Before the army sets off, no one will know. However, when the army is about to cross the desert, the commotion will be too big. I'm afraid it won't be able to be hidden even if we want to. So …"
Yuan Gang couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with him. He didn't even finish listening and left. "Contact me when you set off tomorrow morning."
"…" Yu Cang was speechless. Then, he quickly waved his hand at Dugu Jing and said, "Quick, go and arrange a place for Brother Yuan to rest."
"Yes!" Dugu Jing quickly followed and called out, "Mister Yuan, please follow me."
The hall was quiet. Yu Cang finally realized that Zhuang Hong hadn't told him about the banquet.
This matter was temporarily thrown to the back of his mind. It was more important to arrange for tomorrow's trip to the Endless Desert.
When he was done, Dugu Jing also returned and reported, "It's settled. However, this person is really unreasonable."
Yu Cang sighed. "As long as he does his job honestly and doesn't come to play tricks on us, these are all small matters."
Dugu Jing nodded and then said in a low voice, "That Three Roaring Saber …"
Yu Cang said, "Don't think about that. Xi Wuxian spent three years to refine this saber back then. The saying that three tigers roared only shows the strength of the person using the saber. It's a good treasure saber, but it's not a treasure either. It depends on the person using it. Even if you get it, it's useless. Don't cause unnecessary trouble at this time. Sigh, summon all the elders for a discussion. Elder Bai's matter still needs to be explained to everyone. "
"Yes!" Dugu Jing accepted the order and left.
That night, Zhuang Hong still sent someone to invite Yuan Gang to a banquet. However, Yuan Gang only thanked her verbally and didn't go!
The next morning, Yu Cang and his group set off secretly with Yuan Gang.
They had to be secretive. This matter was of great importance. Once the Jin Nation knew about it, the Jin Nation would definitely think of ways to kill Yuan Gang and cut off the Qin Nation's desert passage.
This was also what Yu Cang didn't understand. Was it worth it for Yuan Gang to take such a huge risk to help them? This wasn't something that could be resolved after crossing the desert. In the future, no matter who occupied the west side, there would be no room for this person …
Nanzhou, in a quiet room. Niu Youdao, who was pacing back and forth, turned around in shock. "He killed Waning Moon Pavilion's Elder Bai Shangcheng with one strike?"
Guan Fangyi nodded repeatedly. "Yes! Bai Shangcheng couldn't block one strike and was split into two by the monkey's saber. He died on the spot. Many people in the Qin Nation's palace witnessed this with their own eyes. It's no secret. According to the scouts, the two fought not long after they went in. What's going on? "
Although they had told Yuan Gang not to come back after leaving, they were still secretly paying attention. As soon as Yuan Gang left, the scouts in the Qin Nation began to pay attention.
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "I heard from the monkey that Su Zhao's real name was Baisu. When he died, he was personally hunted down by his uncle, who was an elder of Waning Moon Pavilion."
Guan Fangyi suddenly understood. "Bai Shangcheng was the uncle who killed Su Zhao? No wonder! Tsk tsk, this red-faced monkey is quite vengeful! "
Niu Youdao muttered with his hands behind his back. "He could actually kill an elder of Waning Moon Pavilion with one strike. His strength has increased again. What the hell is' Chiyou Wufang '…"
He used to have Yuan Gang as a sparring partner, but he didn't have the chance after entering the Saint State. The current situation was not suitable for him to have Yuan Gang as a sparring partner. The two hadn't fought for a long time.
Guan Fangyi didn't know what he was muttering about.
…
To the east of Xi Ping Pass, the Qin Nation's army was allied. There was a guest in the central tent. Dugu Jing came and went straight to the central tent. Seeing Luo Zhao in front of the map, she called out, "General."
Luo Zhao looked back and was surprised. "Why is Mister Dugu here?"
Dugu Jing said, "Pass on the Imperial Advisor's decree. General, please arrange the evacuation of the army as soon as possible."
"Evacuation?" Luo Zhao was surprised.
Dugu Jing looked around and waved to the irrelevant people to leave.
Luo Zhao waved his hand and motioned the others in the tent to follow.
After everyone left, Dugu Jing whispered in his ear for a while.
Luo Zhao was pleasantly surprised. He said in disbelief, "Really?"
Dugu Jing said, "The Imperial Advisor went to see it himself. I also saw it with my own eyes. It can't be wrong. This is a matter of great importance. The secret must not be leaked beforehand. That's why the Imperial Advisor asked me to come personally. "
Luo Zhao clapped his hands excitedly. "Good! I'll do as you say and arrange the evacuation immediately. "
"No hurry!" Dugu Jing waved her hand and whispered in his ear again, "The Imperial Advisor asked me to come because he has one more thing to ask General. That Yuan Gang said he was here to help you. The Imperial Advisor wants to know, what is the relationship between the two of you? Why would he take such a huge risk to help you?"
"Help me?" Luo Zhao was stunned and confused. "I don't know him!"
