The words seemed to be said with a smile, but Huo Kong could feel the thunderous anger in them!
What did they mean by a leaky sieve? Yuan Se and Zhangsun Mi naturally understood. This was also the reason why they reorganized Misty Pavilion.
It was fine in the past, but now there was someone inside Misty Pavilion helping Nascent Soul cultivators escape. Who would dare to do anything to them? Then what was the purpose of helping? The three of them already felt that someone inside Misty Pavilion was starting to target the nine saints.
But anger was anger, controlling the world still depended on the people below them. They couldn't control every corner of the world by themselves.
Yuan Se stared at Huo Kong and said one word, "Investigate!"
It was a simple word, but Huo Kong felt an unprecedented pressure. He solemnly cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
Zhangsun Mi said, "They escaped yesterday. Do we still need to stay here?" His words were full of dissatisfaction, but it seemed like he had more important things to do.
Huo Kong faintly felt that a real bloodbath against Misty Pavilion was coming.
Yuan Se said, "It's time to go, but we should also let some people know the consequences of harboring disobedient people. No matter how many people in this village know, no matter if they have accomplices or not, do you know how to deal with them?"
Huo Kong's expression turned serious, "Investigate first! After you investigate, kill them all! "
Yuan Se didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
The three saints left just like that, but the interrogation of the villagers had just begun.
After the interrogation, there was no result. Huo Kong gave the order, and everyone in the village died. But that was for later.
The more important thing now was to investigate the whereabouts of the couple from yesterday. The family of three led the donkey to an obvious target.
They tracked them all the way to the dock, where someone saw the family of three board a boat.
As soon as they boarded the boat, the target disappeared and no one saw them again.
No one knew who the boatman was. No one at the dock knew him.
After asking where the boat went upstream and downstream, they continued to investigate. They also checked all the boats that came and went on the river that day, asking if anyone saw the boat.
Later, they asked if anyone saw it, but no one saw it. Later, the boat seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Huo Kong knew that the clue was broken. For cultivators, it was too easy to destroy a ship. Moreover, the couple was obviously impersonating them. It would not be difficult for them to change their appearance.
After that, the target of the investigation was the origin of the ship and whose ship had disappeared. Just these matters alone required a lot of manpower from all over the country.
In the end, they found out that someone's family had lost their boat. Lost? This meant that the clues were completely cut off.
On the other side, the cultivator impersonating the peddler had also been interrogated. They wanted to dig out the person behind him.
…
The Exalted Sacred Ground's Wang Zun had returned.
When Sha Rulai, who was standing by the railing, saw him appearing downstairs, he immediately turned and went back into the pavilion.
Wang Zun came in and walked to his side. He whispered in his ear, "Everything went smoothly. There won't be any problems! I've already cut off the communication channel with that person. "
Rulai Sha heaved a sigh of relief.
Wang Zun continued, "However, the matter of finding someone to cover it up didn't seem to be covered up. The other side found out that it wasn't a latecomer who leaked the information. They've already found out that it was the couple. I'm afraid that the Misty Pavilion will pursue these two clues relentlessly. "
Rulai Sha raised his eyes slightly. "What are you trying to say?"
Wang Zun: "I'm afraid that the Misty Pavilion will go all out this time. Although the clues have been cut off, there will definitely be traces left. Once the Misty Pavilion checks all the members in the world for the missing members during the relevant period, I'm afraid that they will still be found out."
Rulai Sha Slowly said, "The Holy Venerable just left not long ago. It should be because the Nine Sages are about to meet. Since a Nascent Soul cultivator is involved, I'm afraid that this matter is really big."
Wang Zun: "That's why I acted on my own and made the couple disappear."
Rulai Sha was silent for a while. "What a pity."
Wang Zun: "It is. It's not easy to develop some reliable people, but it's still safer this way."
Rulai Sha: "That guy doesn't care whether it's a pity or not. He hides behind the scenes and manipulates things. He's fine, but he does things that make others worried. Anyway, no matter how they investigate, he will be the last one to be exposed."
Wang Zun: "He's indeed a little too daring."
Rulai Sha: "Daring? Does he even know what 'daring' is? Which of the things he did didn't cause him to lose his head? There's nothing in this world that he doesn't dare to do. "
There was one thing that he couldn't say. For someone who dared to steal the Immeasurable Fruit and dared to come to the Immeasurable Garden to steal the Immeasurable Fruit, what else wouldn't he dare to do?
Actually, he didn't know in the beginning. Niu Youdao only let him know after the matter was done. Since the matter was already done, what else could he say? He couldn't even stop the person from faking his death.
"In the past, I took a fancy to his daring, but in the end, he's so daring that I'm afraid. He's not afraid of hiding in the back. Everyone in the world thinks that he's dead, but we, who are helping him carry out the tasks, are the ones who are always worried. What was the purpose of finding him in the beginning? It was to let him be in the front. Why do I feel that it's the opposite now? "
Wang Zun smiled bitterly. Now that things had come to this, it was already hard to back down. He could only continue to bite the bullet. If the other side continued to play, then this side had to continue to play. Otherwise, if the other side collapsed, this side wouldn't be able to escape.
Rulai Sha suddenly asked, "Will the two people you arranged to expose the matter be in trouble?"
Wang Zun replied, "Don't worry. They have found the culprit, and this matter can't be traced back to them. They also don't dare to cause trouble or leak any information. Moreover, they don't even know who the mastermind is. I personally came out to control the situation. "
Rulai Sha sighed softly. "Reply to that side. The matter hasn't been covered up. Let's see what they can do."
"Alright!" Wang Zun agreed.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, Rulai Sha suddenly said, "It's your sister's death anniversary in a few days. I can't do much. Help me light two more incense sticks."
"Alright!" Wang Zun nodded silently. His expression was a little sad, and even the rims of his eyes were red. He lightly walked away.
…
In the secret room of the cottage, Yun Ji came and handed over a secret report. "The matter is settled, but there was an accident."
Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, opened his eyes and asked for the secret report.
It was a letter from Rulai Sha, informing that the matter had been settled and the person who intervened had been successfully arrested. However, the Misty Pavilion had already found out that the person who leaked the secret was someone else.
Putting down the letter, Niu Youdao calmly said, "Reply to the other side and tell them not to worry. As long as the person is arrested, it will prove that Lan Ming did it. Let them do their own thing and they can be at ease. I will take care of the rest. "
Yun Ji nodded and turned around.
"Wait!" Niu Youdao shouted and suddenly sneered. "Send a message to Shao Pingbo in the name of Jia Wuqun: Give him a light punishment. If there is a next time, there will be no mercy!"
Yun Ji asked, "Just these twelve words, nothing else?"
Niu Youdao said, "Twelve words are enough. Others might not understand, but he will understand once he sees it. This is just a warning to teach him a lesson. The result is yet to come. He just has to wait patiently! "
Yun Ji shook her head and left. She could not stand these people. They had just formed an alliance, but they were already undermining and messing with each other in secret. Anyone would be frightened and on edge if they were to form an alliance like this. What kind of alliance was this?
She realized that there was nothing wrong with this. Otherwise, she would be played to death by these people who killed without spilling blood.
…
At the Shao Manor in Jin Capital, the scholar who had been here before came again. Lan Ming came again.
This time, he came uninvited. Shao Sansheng led him into Shao Pingbo's study and stood guard outside.
Lan Ming was furious when they met. Shao Pingbo was about to greet him politely, but Lan Ming grabbed his collar and said hatefully, "Your stupid idea almost killed me!"
Shao Pingbo was stunned. "What happened?"
Lan Ming said angrily, "The person I sent to execute the plan was captured by the Misty Pavilion on the spot!"
"Ah!" Shao Pingbo was shocked. It was hard not to be nervous. Once Lan Ming was caught, how could he escape? He asked anxiously, "Did you expose yourself?"
Lan Ming pushed him away, causing him to stumble and hit the desk behind him. "Nonsense! If I hadn't gone online to kill him, would I still be in the mood to come to your place? Last time, a few people died in Qi Capital because of your stupid idea. This time, two people are dead. Let me tell you, I don't have that many lives to waste with you! In the future, you better shut your stinky mouth when you do such things! "
The Nine Saints had personally come to execute the plan, but the person was captured on the spot. This time, he was really scared out of his wits.
Shao Pingbo let out a sigh of relief when he heard that they had been killed in time. He thought for a while and pulled at his clothes in front of his chest. He asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that the Misty Pavilion would only keep an eye on them and that they wouldn't alert them?"
Lan Ming said, "God knows what happened. It didn't make sense at all. My person was suddenly captured, and I didn't get the news in time. I was almost caught unprepared. I almost couldn't save him in time. I almost died of fright! Let me tell you, if something happens to me, you won't be able to escape! "
Shao Pingbo thought for a while and asked again, "In other words, Zhuge Chi has already been caught?"
Lan Ming waved his hand. "He ran away! I'm here to talk to you about this. According to what I learned later, someone made a move before we did. They alerted the Misty Pavilion almost a day in advance and scared the person away. Now the Misty Pavilion is investigating this matter. "
Shao Pingbo was a bit surprised. "Someone else is involved? It seems that there are many people in the Misty Pavilion who are up to no good. "
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Shao Sansheng's voice came. "Young Master!"
Shao Pingbo shouted, "Come in."
Lan Ming immediately walked to a painting, put his hands behind his back, and pretended to admire the calligraphy.
Shao Sansheng opened the door and handed a secret letter to Shao Pingbo. He whispered in Shao Pingbo's ear, "From the Silent One."
Shao Pingbo opened it and saw only two words: Just a small punishment. If there is a next time, there will be no mercy!
Shao Pingbo's pupils shrank and the corner of his mouth twitched. He stared at the words and waved his hand.
Shao Sansheng looked at Lan Ming and left.
As soon as he left, Lan Ming immediately walked over and took the secret letter as if it was his own house. He looked at it and asked, "Whose letter is it? What does it mean? Who did you offend? It seems to be a warning to you! "
