Facing the river breeze, Zhuge Chi tilted his head to look at Niu Youdao and asked suspiciously, "Contact a Zhao spy?"
Niu Youdao tossed another stone into the river with a "dong" sound. "That's right. Contact the State of Zhao's secret agent. After that, someone will capture that secret agent and leak out that you are in the Boundless Pavilion. In the end, someone will find out that you are in contact with Lan Ming. Don't tell me you can't even find a Zhao spy. "
"I can, but do I dare to contact him now?"
Niu Youdao said, "You can't be monitored by the Misty Pavilion all the time. There must be someone you can trust. Besides, I will send someone to keep an eye on you. If there is a problem, I will take care of it on my side. I won't let your spy have a chance to report back to the Misty Pavilion."
Zhuge Chi said, "How could Lan Ming be in contact with me? I'm afraid it will be hard for me to avoid the Boundless Pavilion. "
Niu Youdao said, "If I say I will meet you, I will."
"If he finds out it's me, he will immediately report back."
Niu Youdao said, "He won't, he won't dare. Lan Ming is my man."
"…" Zhuge Chi was speechless, his face full of disbelief. "Lan Daolin's son, Lan Ming is your man?"
Niu Youdao said, "You might understand better if I put it another way. Lan Ming's life is in my hands."
Zhuge Chi asked, "Do I have no choice?"
Niu Youdao chuckled, not answering the question. "There is one thing that I am very curious about. With your cultivation, why would you stubbornly cling onto that burden Hai Wuji?"
This sentence seemed to have given Zhuge Chi the answer. "I've been a servant for a long time. Of course I'm used to it."
Niu Youdao said, "That is a good answer. I also want to know, how did you break through to the Nascent Soul stage? "
Zhuge Chi said, "The Immeasurable Fruit, something from the palace's treasury. It was sealed in a container and never found. No one knows when it entered the palace, but I found it by accident. His grandfather, the late Emperor, gave it to me. Without the Hai family, there would be no me. "
Niu Youdao nodded. "I heard that the previous few Saints had killed many people who had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. It seems that many Immeasurable Fruits from the Saint Realm have wandered into the human world in the early years. You can be considered a fish that escaped the net, so you should be glad."
Zhuge Chi sighed. "The world is so big, who knows if there are more hidden treasures? I just exposed myself."
Niu Youdao said, "Don't worry about Hai Wuji. Don't worry about Hai Wuji.
Zhuge Chi said, "I don't even know who you are. If you intend to harm me, I won't be coming back!"
Niu You said, "For this kind of matter, if I say I won't harm you, you might not believe me. I don't know how to gain your trust either. In other words … you better go. If you don't go, you won't be able to go anywhere. That sesame seed cake seller will probably die a miserable death!"
The two of them turned around almost at the same time. Their gazes met, and Zhuge Chi felt a strong sense of threat from the other.
Yun Ji was on high alert. She was ready to stop Zhuge Chi at any time.
But Niu Youdao looked nonchalant. He looked at the river surface and said with a faint smile, "If you want to protect him, you have no choice but to go. If you are willing to give up on him and live for yourself, you should join hands with us. How about this? You kill the seller now and I will let you know who I am. That way, you will have a trump card to protect yourself. I am a man of my word. You can choose what you want! "
Zhuge Chi said word by word, "What if I don't agree?"
Niu Youdao said calmly, "From now on, the person selling sesame seed cakes will disappear for a period of time. When you return from completing your mission, you'll naturally know whether or not I harmed you. Let's explain everything with facts, lest words have no proof. If I am not wrong, he has disappeared. "
Zhuge Chi abruptly turned his head to take a look and saw that Hai Wuji, who had been standing beside the sesame seed cake stall, had indeed disappeared. He was greatly alarmed and immediately stretched out his hand to grab Niu Youdao.
Yun Ji, who had been prepared for this, moved quickly and grabbed Zhuge Chi's wrist. The two were in a stalemate. They began to compete in cultivation.
Zhuge Chi and Yun Ji looked at each other.
Niu Youdao looked at Yun Ji's arm, which was at a disadvantage. He said calmly, "Don't make a big fuss. Otherwise, he will die right now!"
Taking hostages to threaten them seemed natural to him, and he felt no burden at all.
He turned around and left. "Why should we protect you after saving you? We cannot be too selfish. We cannot just enjoy the good things without putting in any effort. Go. I am a man of my word. I will wait for your good news. "
"Someone will contact you for the details. Oh right, remember to clean up the stall for him. Otherwise, no one will look after him and it will raise suspicion. "
Yun Ji let go of Zhuge Chi's wrist and retreated step by step to stand behind Niu Youdao. She retreated cautiously.
Zhuge Chi clenched his fists and watched with a taut face. He could only watch as the two of them left, but he was powerless to do anything.
…
Immeasurable Garden. Wang Zun, who had been ordered to deliver the items, went through the inspection and arrived at the Divine Hall. He saw Rulai Sha, who was overseeing things, and handed over the items.
Rulai Sha had someone take the items away. There were no outsiders in the hall. Wang Zun approached him and said in a low voice, "The people outside have been arranged. They will cooperate with the other side's operation."
Rulai Sha nodded slightly. "There were no problems with the delivery of the information, right?"
Wang Zun said, "It is very troublesome to enter and exit the Saint Territory. There is no way to carry the information. We can only have the messenger memorize the content and bring it in for translation."
Rulai Sha said, "Don't use the same person to deliver the information and to bring it in."
Wang Zun said, "I understand."
Rulai Sha said, "Also, unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to come here in the future. If there are any requests from the other side, you must cooperate and carry them out."
Wang Zun said, "Understood!"
…
In the territory of Korea, it was noon. A man entered a restaurant as if nothing had happened. He went up to a private room and stayed for a while before leaving the restaurant. Then, he quickly left the city.
Inside and outside the restaurant, several people had been secretly watching the movements of that private room.
On the street, two people hurried to the tea shop opposite the restaurant and sat down. There was an old man at the table. This person was the disguised Hundred Rivers Valley Elder, Li Zhengfa.
He was the inspector of Hundred Rivers Valley stationed in the Misty Pavilion. The reason why he appeared here was because he found a suspicious person from the Misty Pavilion and tried his best to follow him.
The reason why he followed him was because the Nine Saints had already given them an ultimatum. If they couldn't produce results in half a year, they would all lose their lives. Therefore, when they found something suspicious, they didn't hesitate to follow the person from the Misty Pavilion.
"The target has already left the city. We have asked the disciples stationed here to help us follow him." One of the two people sitting down held a cup of tea and reported.
Li Zhengfa said in a low voice, "Find out the identity of the person he met as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished, the three people looked at each other and continued to drink their tea.
The person in the private room came out, looked left and right at the door, then quickly left.
Two hours later, the identity of this person was laid out in front of Li Zhengfa. He was a small official in the local government.
At night, Li Zhengfa who was secretly watching outside a house turned around. A disciple came up to him and reported in a low voice, "The person following us has returned to the Misty Pavilion's stronghold."
Li Zhengfa looked back at the lit house, his eyes flashed and said in a low voice, "We can't keep watching him like this. Arrest him secretly and interrogate him!"
The two disciples next to him looked at each other, one of them said, "Elder, what if he is also from the Misty Pavilion?"
Li Zhengfa said, "How would we know if we don't investigate him? If we don't know his identity, just pretend we don't know. If he is from the Misty Pavilion, just let him go. We can't keep watching him like this, we won't find anything. Inform the sect disciples in the city to deal with the aftermath and suppress the news of the arrest. "
Following his order, the few of them snuck into the house and captured the person they had been eyeing for half a day at lightning speed …
A day later, Li Zhengfa hurried to the Hundred Rivers Valley Sect.
After reporting, he saw the sect master, Yin Ru Shu. After greeting him, he went straight to the point. "Sect master, I urgently need the help of the sect!"
Yin Ru Shu was startled. "What is it?"
Li Zhengfa said, "I found a suspicious person in the Misty Pavilion. After following him, I found that he was secretly in contact with someone. After that, I secretly arrested the person who contacted him. After interrogating him, I found some problems."
Yin Ru Shu looked at him in a daze. He realized that this person might have been forced into a corner by the Sage State. Not only did he follow the people from the Misty Pavilion, he even arrested the person who contacted the Misty Pavilion. However, he could understand his feelings. He was forced into a corner. If he didn't fight, he would die!
After a moment of silence, he asked, "What problems did you find?"
Li Zhengfa said, "After interrogating him, he confessed his identity. He was a spy from the Kingdom of Zhao who was hiding in Korea. He also told the person from the Misty Pavilion why he contacted him. The person asked him to quickly sort out the list of spies and secretly send it to a point on the outskirts of the Endless Desert. Someone would contact him there. I don't have enough people on hand. There are only me and two disciples. Plus, we are too far away. I'm afraid we won't be able to handle the rest of the investigation. I need the help of the sect master! "
Yin Ru Shu said, "Zhengfa, I understand how you feel. This might be an internal operation of the Misty Pavilion. Is it appropriate for us to intervene? If you want to investigate, can't you just report it to the Misty Pavilion and ask them to cooperate? "
Li Zhengfa said, "The person who contacted him said that the reason why they asked him to personally deliver the letter instead of using other channels was because they were worried that the secret channel of sending the letter was already in the hands of the Misty Pavilion. So, the fewer people who know, the better!"
Yin Ru Shu was shocked. The person from the Misty Pavilion was afraid that the people from the Misty Pavilion would find out. It was obvious that they were doing something behind the Misty Pavilion's back. He couldn't help but pace back and forth for a while. Suddenly, he stopped and turned back, "I will gather all the elders to discuss this matter!"
Li Zhengfa raised his hand, "Master, you must not. The Misty Pavilion is everywhere. Even the news of the Nine Saints personally arresting Zhuge Chi has been leaked. They are already investigating the mole. You and I can't guarantee that there are no problems in the sect. Once the news is leaked, all my efforts will go to waste. Master, the knife is already on my and my two disciples' necks. If we don't give an explanation, the three of us will definitely die! "He cupped his hands and bowed as if he was begging!
