The reason why they had to make preparations to evacuate in advance was to prevent anything from happening to Lan Ming. Right now, Lan Ming could not fall into the hands of the Nine Saints.
With Zhuge Chi's strength, even the Misty Pavilion would not be able to hold him if anything happened to him, unless one of the Nine Saints came personally. The Nine Saints would not be able to arrive so quickly, not to mention that he had arranged for Yan Zhutian to receive him. Lan Ming, who was not under surveillance, could easily be in danger.
Once Lan Ming was caught, Shao Pingbo would be in trouble. Once something happened to Shao Pingbo, Jia Wuqun would be exposed.
Under the layers of protection, if something were to happen to Niu Youdao, he would be the last to be found.
Of course, he could also silence Lan Ming, but it was not clear how many people on Lan Ming's side knew about Lan Ming and Shao Pingbo, so it was not good to act rashly.
Now, he wanted to force Lan Ming to leave. Once Lan Ming escaped, he would be clear about Lan Ming's situation. Those who were involved in the secret and knew about it would have to run.
Yun Ji grunted and turned around to carry out the task.
Hai Wuji's eyes flickered as he watched Yun Ji depart. His gaze then returned to Niu Youdao. Slowly placing his chess piece, Niu Youdao asked, "If His Majesty's son were to commit treason, would His Majesty spare him?"
Hai Wuji was silent for a moment. At this time, there was no point in arguing. He rolled down his dice. "Kill without mercy!"
Niu Youdao laughed and said, "That's right. Even His Majesty can understand it, but those people from the sects are so timid. It's really ridiculous."
How could Bai Chuan Gu not know this? The problem was, if Bai Chuan Gu killed Lan Daolin's son, what would he do? After all, he was Lan Daolin's son. If he was a disciple, it would be easier to deal with him. However, this was related to his own flesh and blood. It would be difficult for Hundred Rivers Valley to not be wary.
Hai Wuji didn't know what he was up to, but he still couldn't help but ask, "What exactly does Teacher want Zhuge to do?"
Niu Youdao replied, "It's unlikely that Zhuge Chi would hide it from His Majesty after he returned." What he meant was, "You can ask Zhuge Chi later."
Hearing this, Hai Wuji let out a sigh of relief. Since Zhuge Chi had allowed him to see him, Hai Wuji guessed that Zhuge Chi did not intend to kill him.
Unexpectedly, Niu Youdao gave him another frightening sentence, "Your Majesty, do you think I should kill you?"
Hai Wuji's heartstrings tightened as he observed the other party. Seeing that the other party was calm and composed, Hai Wuji could not see anything amiss. His Adam's apple bobbed as he said, "Mister, didn't you keep me to control Zhuge Chi?" He was reminding Hai Wuji that if he killed him, Zhuge Chi would probably lose control.
Niu Youdao smiled, "You are a smart man. But His Majesty makes me very worried. "
Hai Wuji said, "Mister is the knife and I am the meat. What is there to worry about?"
Niu Youdao: "Your Majesty, I have no objection to your wish to restore your country. However, it depends on whose country it is, whether it is the Nine Saints' world or our world."
Hai Wuji: "Now that things have reached this point, could it be that Mister still doesn't trust me? I have nowhere else to go, so naturally I will pledge my life to follow Mister and the others!"
Niu Youdao lightly placed a chess piece down, "I'm afraid that might not be the case."
Hai Wuji: "Absolutely not!"
Niu You said, "The world of the Nine Sages and the eight divine weapons of the country are the foundation of the country. His Majesty is holding onto the Star Medallion, which is also known as the Shang Medallion. What are his intentions? If it is Zhuge Chi who could betray me at any time, what use is there for me to keep him? "
Hai Wuji's heart skipped a beat as he understood. No wonder this kind of person had the leisure to play chess with him. It turned out that he was after the Zhao Kingdom's Divine Weapon.
Asking him to hand over the Star Medallion was definitely a difficult decision. After some hesitation, he replied, "When Zhuge Chi returns safely, I am willing to hand the Shang Medallion over to Mister."
Niu Youdao pointed at the chessboard, indicating for him to continue. "So what if Zhuge Chi returns? So what if he doesn't? Once he returns, if I don't keep my promise, you won't live either. I don't like fighting and killing, but I also hate those who go with the wind. I don't want to force others to do something they don't want to do. This game of chess is a process of making choices. Once it's done, we will see the results. "
Hai Wuji's gaze fell on the chessboard. He understood that the other party was only giving him one game to consider. He froze there.
Thump, thump! Niu Youdao lightly tapped the table with his fingers. "Your Majesty, it's time for you to make your move."
Hai Wuji looked up at him and said with difficulty, "I am willing to hand over the Shang Medallion to Mister!"
Niu Youdao smiled and lifted his chin. "There's no rush. Let's play first!"
Hai Wuji slowly placed his piece down, his mouth full of bitterness. He never thought that he would hand over the Zhao Kingdom's Divine Weapon in such a relaxed manner. The other party sat there calmly and spoke softly, yet easily snatched away his most precious treasure. The bitterness in his heart was indescribable.
After returning, Yun Ji overheard the conversation. She muttered in her heart, 'I was wondering why he was so free to play chess with a crippled emperor. It turns out he was trying to snatch the treasure from the other party's hands. He even did it in such a refined manner.
After the game ended, Niu Youdao stood up. "Your Majesty, thank you for letting me win. I am tired, I will go and rest first." As he turned to leave, he gave Yun Ji a look.
Indeed, Hai Wuji had let him win. Or rather, Hai Wuji's mind wasn't on the chessboard at all. He lost miserably.
Hai Wuji stood up and sent him off with cupped hands. After that, he told Yun Ji the location of the Star Medallion.
Half a day later, Yun Ji returned. She returned to the room that Niu Youdao was temporarily staying in. She handed an ancient medallion to Niu Youdao.
Whether this thing was old or not, Niu Youdao could tell with one look. He listened to the sound and felt the material. Then he looked at the patterns on it. He had seen the grooves on the pyramid before, so he could tell if it matched.
Niu Youdao looked at the thing in his hand and smiled. "It should be real."
Yun Ji said, "Can't we just force him to hand it over? There's no need to waste so much effort."
Niu Youdao shook his head. "If we use too much force to make him feel unsafe, I'm afraid he won't be willing to hand it over so easily. If we really injure him black and blue, it will be hard to explain to Zhuge Chi. It won't be good if something happens to him. Zhuge Chi is still useful to us. "
"Besides, I promised Zhuge Chi not to touch Hai Wuji. I have to keep my word, right?"
"Since we've obtained the item, we've also severed his intentions towards the Nine Sages. We don't have to worry about him trying to tempt Zhuge Chi again. We've also fulfilled our promise to Zhuge Chi. It would be great if we could all peacefully resolve this issue. It's not good to make things too bloody."
The corner of Yun Ji's mouth twitched. "People like you have too many ideas."
She wasn't being coy. She was just thinking about the past. From the moment she sensed that Zhuge Chi was about to be found by the Misty Pavilion, she immediately reached out to Shao Pingbo and forced Lan Ming out. Then, she saved Zhuge Chi. Now, she exposed Zhuge Chi and easily obtained the Star Medallion. She didn't know what else she would do next.
Even though she was by Niu Youdao's side, there were still many things that she could not understand. In short, everything seemed to be within this person's calculations. The series of means and the depth of his shrewdness made her somewhat apprehensive.
She realized that it was fortunate that she didn't continue to oppose this person. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know how she died.
"After spending so much time with a matchmaker, you're becoming more and more like a matchmaker."
…
Inside the room, Yan Zhutian was deep in thought after receiving Niu Youdao's secret letter.
After destroying the secret letter in his hand, Yan Zhutian summoned his disciple and gave him a few secret instructions before leaving.
…
Li Zhengfa, who was waiting anxiously in the room, still hadn't received Yin Ru Shu's reply. He didn't know why the reply came so slowly.
He didn't know that it was difficult for Yin Ru Shu to make a decision.
Who knew that before he received a reply, he would receive another piece of news. A disciple knocked on the door and entered. "Elder, Junior Martial Brother Yan is missing."
"What?" Li Zhengfa was shocked. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. He couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Why would he go missing?"
The so-called Junior Martial Brother Yan was the person who saw the contact between the receiver and Boundless Pavilion's Chief Steward Ban Hai.
The disciple replied, "I don't know. I haven't seen him for a day."
At this moment, another person entered the door and presented a secret letter. "Elder, Sect Leader's secret letter has arrived!"
Li Zhengfa waved his hand at the disciple who reported first. "Hurry up and find him."
After the disciple left, Li Zhengfa received the secret letter and read it. It would have been better if he didn't read it. After reading it, he felt a toothache.
Yin Ru Shu didn't reprimand him. It wasn't the time to scold him. Yin Ru Shu meant to hide the truth and not hide the truth.
What did it mean to hide the truth and not hide the truth? The news of finding Zhuge Chi could be reported. The news of Zhuge Chi's contact with the Boundless Pavilion could also be reported. But don't mention Lan Ming. Let the Saint Domain investigate themselves. If they could find it, then so be it. If they couldn't, then pretend they didn't know. The secret must not be leaked.
If this letter had arrived earlier, Li Zhengfa might have thought it was a good solution. But now that Disciple Yan had suddenly disappeared, his heartstrings were stretched taut.
He suppressed the idea of following Yin Ru Shu's method. The most important thing now was to find the person.
However, until evening, he still hadn't found the person. There was no one in the room. The disciples stationed outside the inn didn't see Disciple Yan go out either.
Li Zhengfa started to worry. Why did he suddenly disappear? If he was in danger, there should be some commotion in a fight, right?
What was worse was that the disciple knew that the person who contacted Ban Hai could be Lan Ming.
Why did he disappear at this time? There were only two possibilities. Either he left quietly, or his life was in someone else's hands.
Why did he leave quietly? Everything was fine. It was impossible for him to leave quietly without saying goodbye. There was definitely a problem. Could it be a spy from the Misty Pavilion or some other family?
If someone did it secretly, then who did it?
He didn't know who it was, but the person had disappeared from the Boundless Pavilion. He had already sensed that it wasn't safe to stay here. Once his whereabouts were exposed and discovered by Lan Ming, their end could be imagined.
Li Zhengfa made a prompt decision and left. He didn't dare to stay a moment longer.
Once he left the Sky Lake Inn, he immediately gathered all the disciples to leave.
After escaping from the Boundless Pavilion, he quickly used the communication channel with the Saint Domain and reported the situation to Du Wuxu.
Because of the disappearance of Disciple Yan, he didn't dare to use Yin Ru Shu's method. At this stage, he couldn't care too much. He had to get through this hurdle first. The matters of the sect would come later. He had to resolve the crisis that might befall him first.
