Leave? Of course he had to leave.
Once he got Yan Zhan's confession, Lan Ming knew he had no choice but to escape. Otherwise, he would be playing with his life. However, he wasn't willing to give up. Suddenly, he became a stray dog. He was no longer the high and mighty Boundless Pavilion's Pavilion Master. Who in the world would respect him?
All his prestige was gone. From now on, he had to live in secret. How could he be willing?
Even if he was unwilling, he still had to leave. Otherwise, he could imagine the torment he would have to endure.
The two of them quickly prepared to leave. Naturally, they would take whatever belongings they could.
Lan Ming packed up his belongings while Ban Hai brought along a few confidential golden messenger wings. Finally, the two of them rode on a flying beast and left.
Before leaving, someone in the mansion asked them where they were going. Lan Ming said he was going to the sage realm. No one dared to stop him.
…
In the secret room of the thatched cottage, Niu Youdao, who had just returned, was sitting in front of a desk. He was studying the Star Order to see if there was anything else.
Yun Ji entered the room and placed a secret letter on the desk in front of him. "The Boundless Pavilion replied that everything went smoothly. The people have already safely retreated!"
Niu Youdao nodded and extended his hand that was playing with the Star Order. He took the secret letter and read it. After reading it, he smiled. "The situation is well controlled. I didn't ask him to come personally in vain. There shouldn't be any problems. Lan Ming has no choice but to run."
He was praising Yan Zhoutian. The letter mentioned the specific details of making one or two Hundred Rivers Valley disciples disappear. He also reported the steps of capturing Yan Zhan and putting him in the box.
These were not part of the original plan. They were purely improvised. Some plans only had a general direction and couldn't predict what would happen on the scene. They could only adapt according to the situation.
The reason why Yan Zhui Tian reported it to them was because the matter was not a small matter. They needed to let the people who were in control of the situation know about it to prevent any accidents or loopholes. Sometimes, a small mistake could be fatal, so they could not be careless. If there really was a mistake, they could remedy it in time.
Niu Youdao was very satisfied with the result. This was also within his expectations. He was confident when he asked Yan Zhoutian to handle this matter. Logically speaking, it was impossible for the dignified Sect Master of the Spirit Sect to be unable to handle such a small matter. He should have a certain level of execution ability.
It was also because this matter was of great importance that they had asked Yan Zhutian to personally handle it in order to ensure that nothing went wrong. Otherwise, there was no need for the Sect Master of the Spirit Sect to personally handle this matter.
Of course, it was also to keep it a secret!
Yun Ji didn't understand one thing, "Lan Ming must have some spies from Misty Pavilion in his hands, why didn't you keep them for yourself, instead handing them over to Shao Pingbo?"
Niu Youdao threw the letter back on the table and chuckled, "You are being petty. Meat cannot be eaten by one person. Shao Pingbo must chew on it as well. Since we're already working together, it's not right to poach from them. "
Yun Ji couldn't help but roll her eyes. Both sides had obviously undermined each other from the beginning. It would be weird if she believed his words.
Seeing her strange expression, Niu Youdao explained, "When looking at a problem, you can't be calculative about gains and losses. Shao Pingbo only obediently became a teacher because he had no other choice. He's lacking in manpower. With Lan Ming's help in the dark, Shao Pingbo will be able to accomplish many things."
Yun Ji said, "Aren't you afraid that Shao Pingbo will use this opportunity to threaten you? That guy is not a good person. You should know him better than I do. "
Niu Youdao said, "It's precisely because I'm afraid that he'll lose control and play some tricks that I have to stifle his position from a big perspective. What's Lan Ming's situation now? He's colluding with Lan Ming. If he takes Lan Ming in, he will have no way out and can only go against the Nine Saints. "
Yun Ji suddenly realized that Niu Youdao was trying to force Shao Pingbo to pick a side!
Niu Youdao played with the Star Order in his hand and narrowed his eyes. "Whether Wei State is destroyed or Qi State is destroyed, whether Jin State can unify the three western countries in the end, as long as Shao Pingbo has the power, he won't be limited to his identity as a teacher. Those people in Jin State may not be his match … I hope he can control the situation of Jin State!"
Yun Ji glanced at him. At this moment, she more or less understood this guy's sinister intentions. After coming back from the Saint State, his confidence had changed, and so had his view. He was already looking down on the world.
After recollecting his thoughts, Niu Youdao stood up and paced around the room. "Lan Ming has no way out. Now we can move on to the next step. We can force Lan Ming to hand over something."
Yun Ji naturally asked, "What is it?"
Niu Youdao said, "Hong Yunfa's death and sending someone to inform Zhuge Chi, there must be someone behind this. Let Lan Ming hand over the person behind these two things!"
Yun Ji felt strange, "What do you want this for?"
Niu Youdao stopped and turned back, "Nine Saints are anxious, the inspectors of various sects are also anxious, and the involved sects are also anxious. I have said that we have to help our own people to get through this. We can't let Nine Saints easily settle this matter. We can wait for an opportunity to throw out clues and confirm Lan Ming's crime. It's best to let Saint State suspect that the loss of Immeasurable Fruit is related to Lan Daolin. I want to see how Lan Daolin will deal with this. "
Yun Ji was speechless and looked at him strangely. What kind of person is this? Step by step, circle by circle.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Haven't you already worked on Wu Chang's side and directed the matter of Immeasurable Fruit to Lv Wushuang? Now you're directing it to Lan Daolin. Aren't these two things contradictory? "
Niu Youdao continued to pace and said, "Directing it to Lv Wushuang is to help Zhao Xiongge out of trouble and also to help ourselves out of trouble, lest Wu Chang keeps staring at us. Don't worry, Wu Chang will not directly target Lv Wushuang at present. The more Wu Chang doesn't react to Lv Wushuang, the safer we are with Wu Chang. "
Yun Ji, "Why?"
Regarding this, Niu Youdao didn't explain. It was not convenient to say more about things that involved the Demonic Book. Wu Chang wouldn't expose the Demonic Book. Without evidence, he wouldn't jump out to accuse Lv Wushuang. Otherwise, there would be no way to explain. He only said, "Just wait and see!"
…
Celestial Capital Peak, Misty Pavilion. Right Envoy Yue Guangming hurriedly walked into the main hall and presented a secret report to Huo Kong, "Chief, secret report from Hundred Rivers Valley. Li Zhengfa and the others have made a move."
Huo Kong received the secret report. After reading the details, he showed hesitation, "What do they want to do by sending over a hundred Hundred Rivers Valley disciples to cause trouble at Boundless Pavilion?"
Yue Guangming shook his head, "Li Zhengfa seems to be keeping this matter a secret. We only know that they are investigating someone. The spies over there don't know the specifics either."
Huo Kong was silent. Finally, he sighed, "I hope they don't cause any more trouble." His face was full of melancholy.
Recently, there had been too many troublesome things. First, there was Zhuge Chi's matter. He was still overseeing the investigation here. Who knew that something big would happen over at the Sage Land. The Immeasurable Fruit was stolen. Everyone was in a state of panic, and everyone was being investigated.
It was easy to imagine that the next step would be to investigate this place.
And the troublemaking inspectors from the various sects loved to cause trouble. Once Zhuge Chi's matter was exposed, the inspectors from the various sects felt like a knife was being held to their necks. They were all anxious. Now that Li Zhengfa had mobilized so many people, it was really worrying.
Yue Guangming reminded, "Chief, the inspectors are originally meant to deal with Misty Pavilion's internal affairs. I'm afraid the commotion today has something to do with Misty Pavilion!"
Huo Kong turned back and asked, "Then what do you want me to do? There are so many holes now that I don't even know how to cover them up. The higher-ups only want results. They think that we should settle the matter properly. Who cares about the trouble? Can I ask the inspectors to stop investigating? "
Yue Guangming couldn't help but mutter, "What's wrong with the Saint Venerables? Can't they handle things one by one? With so many things happening at the same time, no matter how much manpower they have, they won't be able to handle it! "
Huo Kong said, "Do you think the Saint Venerables are willing to do this? Which of the matters at hand is not important? How can they stop investigating Zhuge Chi's matter? How can they not investigate the theft of the Immeasurable Fruit? "
Yue Guangming quickly changed his words. "I don't mean it that way. I just feel that something is not right. Why did all these things happen at the same time, and during the period when the Saint wants to reorganize Misty Pavilion, causing everyone to be flustered? Could it be that someone is behind all this?"
Huo Kong remained silent. In fact, he had the same feeling. Ever since he started reorganizing Misty Pavilion, all sorts of strange things had happened. First, it was Hong Yunfa's strange death. Then, there was the assassination of one of the inspectors, Niu Youdao. All the way until now, things were getting bigger and bigger, almost driving everyone crazy. It was hard not to suspect that something was wrong.
"It's easy to conquer the world, but it's hard to sit on it. I hope nothing happens again. Otherwise, if it becomes a complete mess, we really won't be able to deal with it." Huo Kong suddenly let out a long sigh.
…
Under the Cloud Canyon, the sky was dark and gloomy all day long.
From time to time, there would be people sneaking around in the canyon. Ye Nian sat on a rock, his face and heart full of melancholy.
Some things seemed reasonable at the beginning, but once they were done, they realized that it wasn't the case.
At the beginning, the people from the Immeasurable Garden thought that killing the people from the Ice Land was a good idea, but after running away, they gradually realized it and began to worry. Did they think the Nine Saints were fools? Could they really fool them like this?
At this point, none of them could turn back. They couldn't go back. The longer it dragged on, the more they didn't dare to go back.
Some people didn't care. They were already in the Immeasurable Garden thirty years ago. If they didn't run away, they would also be worried about being implicated. Since that was the case, they might as well live for as long as they could.
But he, Ye Nian, was different. He regretted it, but he didn't dare to turn back!
Now, the group of people were hiding all day, lacking food and water. They also didn't have any cultivation resources to replenish themselves. They lived in fear every day.
…
Immeasurable Holy Land, on a cliff outside the Immeasurable Holy Palace, Du Wuxu stood with his hands behind his back. He was slightly irritated. Ye Nian's disappearance also made him feel like he was holding back his anger.
Disciple Si Shaodong quickly walked up to him and presented a secret letter with both hands. He reported, "Master, the Hundred Rivers Valley's inspectors have reported that they have found Zhuge Chi's whereabouts!"
Du Wuxu suddenly turned around, his eyes glowing. He asked in a low voice, "Where?"
Si Shaodong: "He's hiding in the Endless Pavilion!"
