Niu Youdao, who had grasped the situation of the Sage State, immediately went to the Demon Ridge to meet Zhao Xiongge.
After that, they were either on the peak of a mountain, on a boat on a river, in a valley with high mountains and flowing water, or directly on a flying beast.
Niu Youdao, who had been on the move day and night, met up with Gong Lince, West Sea Hall, Yan Zhui Tian, and Wen Hua in just a few days. He told them about the information he had obtained from the Sage Realm, the situation they were facing, and the counterattack strategy.
The few of them were still unaware of what was happening in the Saint Lands. Hearing that danger was approaching, they were all alarmed. After learning of Niu Youdao's counterattack plan, all of them cooperated fully.
Niu Youdao leaped down from the sky and flew towards the vast land after meeting with Yan Zhui Tian, who was the last to meet him.
Yan Zhu Tian quickly rode away on his flying beast.
Niu Youdao, who was sliding into the deep valley of the mountain forest, landed lightly on the ground and landed beside the disguised Yun Ji. Yun Ji was guarded by a bird mount.
Niu Youdao: "Let's go!"
Yun Ji: "Where are we going, are we going back?"
Niu Youdao said, "Zhuge Chi, you spent so much effort to protect him. It's about time he did something!"
…
In the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, a large number of people were digging the ground and unearthing the corpses.
Wu Fei was also involved. When he saw that someone was digging near the big tree, his heart was in his throat.
Although he didn't know who instigated him to do that, he faintly suspected that it had something to do with the theft of the Immeasurable Garden. Moreover, as soon as something happened to the Immeasurable Garden, he received a message from the person behind the scenes. They asked him if he had left behind any future troubles when he stole the skull. If not, then he should immediately eliminate any future troubles.
His reply was that there shouldn't be a problem. There were people who had been killed and buried in the mass grave in various ways, and there were new ones every year. After such a long time, the corpses should have rotted long ago, so there shouldn't be a problem.
But deep down, he was still worried.
However, by the time he received the letter and reacted, it was already too late. Wu Chang, who had neutralized the poison of the Mind Bewitching Powder, had already returned. He controlled everyone in the Heavenly Demon Holy Land, especially this mass grave.
The more he thought about it, the more he realized how big the problem was. He no longer had the chance to do anything to the mass grave. The people he had killed were buried here, and they lived in constant fear.
After the investigation of the Holy Land's personnel, Wu Chang gave an order and the Holy Land's personnel finally moved to this mass grave.
At this moment, the hole that had been tampered with was finally dug out. Wu Fei, who was on tenterhooks, passed by the side and heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the skeleton.
The corpses of those who were killed had long since decayed. Without any protective measures, they had long been eaten by insects and ants, turning into skeletons. This mass grave was indeed a mass grave. It had long been impossible to tell which skeleton was who. As long as one could not recognize the face, it was very difficult to trace the target.
…
Demon Ridge, inside the Demon Palace, Zhao Xiongge, who was standing in front of the cave's stone railing and looking at the bustling trading area, was silent and tense.
A few days ago, Niu Youdao had already sent a message to him, informing him of the theft of the Immeasurable Fruit and urging him to make preparations in advance.
He knew that something had happened to the Saint Land. The Devil Cult often sent people to the Saint Land to the Heavenly Demon Holy Land. However, he did not know that the Immeasurable Fruit had been stolen. Obviously, the news of the theft of the fruit had been blocked to some extent.
Of course, for those who had reached a certain level of status, it was no longer a secret that the matter had become so big. However, the Saint Land still wanted to block the news. Obviously, they did not want to cause unrest in the hearts of the world, or in other words, cause the world to have disloyal thoughts.
Not long ago, Niu Youdao had personally come to see him and warned him in person about some things.
Nantian Wufang walked to his side unhurriedly. "Go to the back mountain."
Zhao Xiongge turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Nantian Wufang stared at him. "I don't know what's the matter, but Wu Chang is here. He's waiting for you in the back mountain, in your nest."
Zhao Xiongge's pupils shrank. Niu Youdao had said that Wu Chang might come to find him, so he should be mentally prepared in advance. Unfortunately, it was as Niu Youdao had predicted. He really came!
Without saying much, Zhao Xiongge turned around and left.
He came to the back mountain alone and came to the cliff. He saw a person standing on the balcony of the cave that he had lived in for many years. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and he was tall and sturdy. It was none other than Wu Chang!
Zhao Xiongge jumped down and landed lightly beside Wu Chang. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Chang looked back and looked up and down. "Much cleaner."
Zhao Xiongge said, "You didn't call me to see you just to praise me, did you?"
Wu Chang stared at his eyes and asked, "When did you get the Demonic Book?"
Zhao Xiongge said, "Why, is there a problem with the Demonic Book? Or are you going to go back on your word? "
Wu Chang said, "Answer my question."
Zhao Xiongge said, "You should know the approximate time. The Holy Maiden entrusted it to me before she died."
Wu Chang said, "In other words, it was something that happened more than 30 years ago."
Zhao Xiongge said, "More or less. Why are you asking this? Is there a problem?"
Wu Chang said, "Did you leak the contents of the Demonic Book to others?"
The reason why he asked this was because the Immeasurable Fruit Tree had been guarded by Crow General for a long time. After he became one of the Nine Sages, the previous Eight Sages had reached an agreement that they were not allowed to pick the Immeasurable Fruit. He also had to abide by it. For him at that time, the Eight Sages had a deep foundation. He was slightly worried, so he set up Crow General to guard it.
No matter who stole the Immeasurable Fruit 30 years ago, although Crow General had been replaced during this period, it had always been guarded by Crow General. It was impossible to sneak past Crow General without being discovered.
Of course, this was only an idea when he set up Crow General. After obtaining the Demonic Book and seeing the authentic Crow General technique in the Demonic Book, he realized that there was a loophole in Crow General.
Therefore, he naturally became suspicious and immediately rushed over after stabilizing the situation in the Sage Land.
Zhao Xiongge's heart tightened. Of course, he had leaked it to others, to Niu Youdao. Fortunately, Niu Youdao reacted quickly. After learning that something had happened in the Sage Land, he immediately informed them to make preparations and even instructed them in person.
At this moment, he calmly replied, "Do you think I would leak the contents of the Demonic Book to others?"
This was also what Wu Chang was confused about. Back then, after being tortured for so long, Zhao Xiongge still refused to admit that he had the Demonic Book. He was determined to guard it, so it was unlikely that he would leak it easily.
However, he still wanted to confirm it this time. He said coldly, "Think carefully. If anyone else knows the secret recorded in the Demonic Book, not only you, but anyone related to you, I will not let them go! I will give you another chance to redeem yourself. Tell me who it is. It will be good for everyone if we can remedy the situation! "
Zhao Xiongge seemed puzzled and asked, "What are you trying to say? Could it be that someone else knows the contents of the Demonic Book? "
Wu Chang: "I am asking you!"
Zhao Xiongge: "After I got the Demonic Book, I have never admitted to anyone that I have the Demonic Book, let alone leak the contents."
Wu Chang: "Did the previous Saintess tell anyone else?"
Zhao Xiongge: "How would I know? If someone knew the secret of the Demonic Book, you wouldn't be the only one looking for me. If someone really knows, you can just confirm it with the person who knows. "
Wu Chang: "If I knew who knows, would I need to ask you?"
Zhao Xiongge: "Then how do you know that the secret of the Demonic Book is known by others? There must be some clues. The person who knows the secret of the Demonic Book must have touched the things recorded in the Demonic Book. Otherwise, how could you detect it? You must have noticed something. Is someone practicing the secret of the Demonic Book, or is someone looking for the Fifth Domain or something? "
Some of the words were instructed by Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao guessed that Wu Chang already knew what the guiding object was and wanted him to find an opportunity to lead the suspicion to Lv Wushuang.
In this way, Lv Wushuang knew about the guiding object but did not know how to find it. Instead, he had to look for Yuan Gang. This proved that Lv Wushuang did not know much about the records in the Demonic Book. It was possible that he had found out about the refining method of General Crow through some other channel. This would eliminate the possibility of Zhao Xiongge leaking the secret.
Coupled with the various things that Niu Youdao had done in the Saint Land, it would be difficult for Lv Wushuang to wash away the suspicion.
If Wu Chang came to look for Zhao Xiongge, it proved that Wu Chang might not have thought about it in a certain direction. He had to find the right topic to remind Wu Chang.
Sure enough, Wu Chang's eyes suddenly flashed. He remembered the assassination of Niu Youdao and what Niu Youdao had discovered in the Immeasurable Garden. The truth had already sunk into the ocean. Lv Wushuang's actions after that were obviously problematic. He was obviously trying to hide something.
And Zhao Xiongge's words did remind him of the fifth domain!
After he found out that the Scorpion King was the guiding object, he had already suspected that Lv Wushuang was looking for the Scorpion King. Now, all his suspicions seemed to be connected.
Suddenly, Wu Chang made a move and pressed on Zhao Xiongge's shoulder. The powerful mana made it difficult for Zhao Xiongge to move.
Zhao Xiongge said in a low voice, "What are you trying to do? Do you really want to go back on your word? "
After casting a spell to check Zhao Xiongge's cultivation and confirming that there was no problem, Wu Chang suddenly let go. With a flash, he shot into the sky and left.
Watching Wu Chang leave, Zhao Xiongge slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
With Niu Youdao's reminder, he was very clear what Wu Chang was doing just now. He wanted to see if he had used the Immeasurable Fruit and if he had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm.
In this regard, he could not help but rejoice. Rejoice that Yuan Gang had just arrived at the Demonic Cult and still needed his help to familiarize himself with him. Thus, he did not have a stable long-term time to break through. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Of course, if it really came to that, then he and Yuan Gang could only run away.
Zhao Xiongge's expression was solemn. The theft of the Immeasurable Fruit made him deeply aware that the situation had suddenly changed. He did not know what kind of storm would come next.
…
In the Kingdom of Song, beside the dock of the surging river, three people stood on the shore. One of them was a fisherman, and the other two were Niu Youdao and Yun Ji who had disguised themselves.
As for Hai Wuji, he had now become a sesame seed cake vendor at the dock. From time to time, he would look at the three people on the shore.
There was no other way. In order to survive, they had to find an identity to hide. In the current world, even hiding in the deep mountains was not safe anymore.
Of course, someone had arranged for people to secretly take care of and cover for the two of them.
