"Although this village is surrounded by mountains, it is surrounded by open land. If the enemy is on guard and comes close to investigate, they will be easily discovered," one of them whispered.
"They really know how to pick a place and are very cautious. Even the Golden Wings don't dare to be seen by the villagers. They even arranged for a hunter to hide in the mountains."
The one who was holding onto the green-feathered bird said in a deep voice, "You guys stay here and keep watch. I'll go back and report."
The other two nodded in acknowledgment.
"Remember, you're only allowed to observe, but you're not allowed to approach, and you're not allowed to come into contact with anyone here. Hide well and do not let anyone discover you. No matter who it is, do not do anything on your own. Do not alert the enemy. Wait for the higher-ups to arrange everything. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, think about the consequences. "
"Yes!" The two of them answered in a low voice.
The man with the emerald bird in his hand slowly retreated and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
…
Niu Youdao was cultivating cross-legged in a secret chamber when Yun Ji hurried over and said in a deep voice, "There's an urgent matter!"
Niu Youdao raised both of his hands and slowly pressed down, stopping his cultivation. He opened his eyes and said, "Speak!"
Yun Ji showed him the secret letter. "You have activated the second method of communication with the person in Sage Land!"
She still didn't know that the informant from the sage domain was Rulai Sha. Niu Youdao would rather let her know about the Immeasurable Fruit than expose Rulai Sha to anyone. From how he didn't hesitate to use Shao Pingbo and Lan Ming to protect Rulai Sha, it could be seen how much he valued Rulai Sha.
Once the matter was exposed, Rulai Sha would be his last trump card to find out the enemy's movements and communicate with Sage Land.
As for the so-called second method of communication, it was because they were afraid that it would be too troublesome to send a message back and forth to the Saint Plane and that it would take up too much time. They could not get ahead of the Nine Saints. Thus, Sha Rulai had arranged for reliable personnel to monitor the external situation. Once Zhuge Chi's situation was discovered and the preset arrangements were triggered, they would immediately contact him.
Thus, when Niu Youdao heard this, he immediately knew that Zhuge Chi's whereabouts had been discovered.
He quickly stood up and snatched the secret letter. After reading it, he paced back and forth. "You found it so quickly? The speed is beyond my expectations. As expected of the Misty Pavilion. Luckily I made preparations in advance, otherwise I would have been caught unprepared."
He placed the secret letter and his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice, "Reply immediately and take action!"
Yun Ji asked, "How do I move?"
Niu Youdao: "You don't need to know too much about this. I've already made arrangements with the other side. Just reply!"
Yun Ji: "What about Shao Pingbo?"
Niu Youdao: "I'll do my own thing, and he'll do his. It doesn't matter. I'd like to see when he's going to send me a message. If he insists on poking his nose into the matter, he'll have no choice but to swallow his anger. Ignore him, we have to race against time with the Nine Saints. Reply immediately! "
"As for Hong Niang, tell her to stop cultivating immediately and come here to await orders."
"Okay!" Yun Ji knew that this was an urgent matter, so she quickly turned around and left.
Niu Youdao took a few steps to the large map and took out the letter on his back to study it again. Then, he found the location of his target on the map and drew a cross on it with his fingernail. Then, he stared at the map and pondered, his eyes flickering.
…
In the Shao Mansion of Jin Capital, a scholar was led into the mansion by Shao Sansheng and was personally brought to the study.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Lord Shao was looking for talents and was recruiting scholars everywhere. It was not surprising that he brought such a person along.
As soon as the scholar entered the study, Shao Sansheng left. He looked like he was strolling in the courtyard, but he was actually helping to keep watch.
In the study, Shao Pingbo was already waiting.
As soon as the two met, the scholar lowered his voice and revealed Lan Ming's own voice. "What the hell are you doing? Didn't we agree that my people won't personally participate and only need to inform others? "
Shao Pingbo tapped his fingers on the table and said in a low voice, "Nascent Soul cultivator! Zhuge Chi is a Nascent Soul cultivator. He's a killing weapon in the hands of whoever controls him. Don't you want to know how he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage? "
His words hit the nail on the head. Lan Ming's heart palpitated and his eyes flickered. He moved closer and whispered, "What do you mean? What do you mean by controlling him in the hands of others? Wasn't that person with you last time?"
Shao Pingbo replied, "He was with us. Have you ever seen a so-called group without any division? No matter which group it is, there must be a distinction between those who are close to them and those who are distant. I don't need to teach you this, do I? You should know that no matter what the final result is, the one with the stronger strength will have the final say. Even if they have to risk their lives, they will have an extra layer of protection. "
Lan Ming secretly gritted his teeth. "Then why didn't you say so earlier? Is it too late to make a move now?"
Shao Pingbo replied, "Your identity has already been exposed. How do I know if they will contact you in private? I can't make a judgment until I get the results. As for whether you can make it in time, that depends on you. It takes time for them to report to the Sage Realm, and they won't make a move in a hurry. Once Zhuge Chi escapes, it will be difficult to find him again. They will have to prepare properly. As long as you hurry, you should be able to make it in time. "
Lan Ming's eyes flashed. "You haven't told them the news yet?"
Shao Pingbo asked, "Tell them what? Since they are on the same side, does it matter whose hands he is in? As long as you succeed, it doesn't matter if we inform them later. What are you hesitating for? Don't you want to know how Zhuge Chi broke through to the Nascent Soul stage? "
Lan Ming gritted his teeth. Without another word, he immediately turned around and left.
Shao Pingbo exhorted, "Remember, leave a backup plan. Don't expose yourself."
With his back facing him, Lan Ming raised his hand. Without another word, he quickly left the study.
"Phew!" Shao Pingbo let out a light breath.
…
Outside of Tranquility Village, on the mountain road that led to the outside world, a husband and wife in tattered clothes walked together, leading a donkey.
The donkey was carrying various bags on its back, and a dirty child was placed in a bamboo basket.
The woman led the donkey, while the man carried a basket full of mending tools, clanking as they walked.
It was obvious that they were craftsmen who traveled to make a living.
In the dark of the forest, pairs of eyes stared at the family of three.
"Are they villagers, or are they from the outside?"
"I'm not sure. According to the list of villagers, this couple doesn't seem to be in the business. Should we stop them? "
"Let's observe first. Don't act rashly."
The craftsmen led the donkey into the village and began to shout. One by one, the villagers brought out pots and bowls to be mended. The payment was only a few copper coins.
The villagers didn't have much money. The lower class people only had small amounts of money. Large amounts of money and gold coins were mostly used by the upper class people.
The man worked while the woman took care of the child and chatted with the villagers.
The villagers were simple and honest. It didn't take them long to explain the situation in the village.
It was obvious that they were inquiring about something, so how could it not attract the attention of some people? Zhuge Chi quickly appeared nearby and stared at the family of three, who were not part of the family.
After wandering around the village for a while, the woman gave the child to the villagers for them to take care of, saying that it was convenient.
After escaping from the group of people, the woman turned to a secluded area and sensed movement behind her. She immediately said in a low voice, "We're on the same side."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone grabbed her neck and pressed her against the wall. It was Zhuge Chi.
On the same side? Where did this come from? Zhuge Chi's eyes were filled with killing intent. "Who are you?"
The woman said with difficulty, "I'm in the same situation as you. It doesn't matter who I am. All you need to know is that the people from the Misty Pavilion have taken control of this area. The Nine Saints will be here soon. Go! Remember, eighty miles southeast of here, at Clearwater Hill. There will be people there to help you escape. "
The Nine Saints will be here soon? The Nine Saints will be here personally? Zhuge Chi's heart jumped. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why should I believe you? Why should I go with you? "
The woman said, "Isn't it too late to talk about this? You shouldn't have contacted the outside world. The Misty Pavilion has set up an inescapable net. If you think that you can escape with your people without our help, then you can leave on your own. We can go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other. "
Zhuge Chi's eyes flickered. He had no idea what was going on outside and didn't know what to do, especially when faced with the Nine Saints.
The woman said that the people from the Misty Pavilion had found their way here. There was no doubt about that. The fact that they could find their way here meant that they had already been exposed.
"At least we took the risk to communicate with you. We are not here to harm you." The woman reminded him and didn't explain further. "Leave now while you can. Otherwise, my people won't dare to help you. Let go. If I stay here for too long, people will come looking for me. No one will be able to escape if there is a commotion. "
"Remember, don't contact anyone after you leave. Your people might be under surveillance."
"Remember, there are eyes and ears all around the mountain. Leave quietly. As for how to leave quietly, you will have to figure it out yourself." She pushed Zhuge Chi's hand away.
He could only push it away because Zhuge Chi didn't dare to act rashly.
Watching the woman leave, Zhuge Chi's mind was in a mess. After some hesitation, he felt that if they wanted to harm him, there was no need to communicate with them.
After turning the corner, he went straight to the school and found Hai Wuji.
Hai Wuji was teaching the children in the school when Zhuge Chi called him out from outside the door and whispered something into his ear.
Hai Wuji's face changed and he said in fear, "I regret not listening to you. I shouldn't have contacted the outside world. What should we do now?"
Zhuge Chi said, "We can't stay here any longer. Leave immediately."
"Alright! That thing can't be left behind. I will go get it now. "Hai Wuji turned and left.
Zhuge Chi pulled him back. "We mustn't cause any commotion. If we leave rashly now, these children might suddenly lose their lessons and become suspicious. Let's stay calm for now. That couple is not in a hurry to leave. That means they won't be here anytime soon. Don't worry about this. Assign the homework and then leave quietly. "
Hai Wuji immediately did as he was told. He entered the school and started teaching. When it was almost time for school to end, he assigned the homework.
After school, the children dispersed. Only then did Hai Wuji quickly go to his own room. After retrieving his things, he quickly left with Zhuge Chi.
The two of them didn't bring any luggage with them. This was also Zhuge Chi's idea. There was no need to bring anything cumbersome. It was more important to escape first.
