To put it simply, if the Holy Rakshasa could defeat a portion of the Nine Saints, then she would be able to defeat the rest. If she couldn't even defeat a portion of the Nine Saints, then it would be impossible to defeat all of them. Dealing with them in batches would increase the Holy Rakshasa's chances of success and also ensure her safety.
It was a very simple principle, but not everyone could use it. This was the difference between people.
Yun Ji finally understood why Niu Youdao wanted to transfer away a portion of the Nine Sages. She also realized the gap between her and Niu Youdao. This was also one of the reasons why she, or rather, the group of people, was willing to follow Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao was very clear that letting that glutton Yin 'er go head-on against the Nine Sages might very well kill Yin' er this time.
The reason why he dared to use Yin Er was because of what Old Fox Clan Leader Yin Ji had said. If the Holy Rakshasa was here, the Nine Saints would not be able to rise so easily. This meant that Yin Ji recognized Yin Er's strength. Yun Ji had also fought with Yin Er before and admitted that she was no match for Yin Er.
But Yin Ji said that Yin Er was able to stop the rise of the Nine Saints. Now that Yin Er had been sealed for hundreds of years, the Nine Saints' strength was not something an ordinary person could understand.
Yin Er might be in great danger and this made his heart heavy. This was not what he wanted.
He leaned back on the chair and waved his hand slowly. "Go and carry out the task. At the same time, tell Hong Niang about the things on hand. We should also move out. "
Yun Ji saw his sudden exhaustion and asked in a gentle voice, "Where are we going?"
Niu Youdao: "To the Butterfly Illusion Realm."
Yun Ji was surprised. "We are going too?"
Niu Youdao sighed. "I am not sure if we can lure them away or if we can lure them away. Once we make a move in the Butterfly Illusion Realm, it will be hard for outsiders to know what is going on inside. The Wan Shou Clan might not know either. If I don't know the situation, I won't be able to make a decision. We have to go there ourselves. "
"Alright!" Yun Ji nodded and turned to make the arrangements.
…
In the vast sea, between the ebb and flow of tides, a piece of land was silent and nameless.
A team searching for the escaped Wuliang Garden guards landed on the land and began their search.
"Report, traces of a man-made fire have been discovered ahead. The traces are fresh."
The searchers immediately rushed over and found the bonfire. Then, following the footprints beside the bonfire, they searched all the way into the mountain.
Finally, a group of people surrounded a cave in the mountain. The leader made a hand signal, and five people carefully entered in a triangular formation.
Banging sounds suddenly resounded in the cave, mixed with a few screams. Two corpses flew out, followed by a figure flashing out of the cave, standing proudly outside.
Among the dozens of people surrounding the cave entrance, one of them recognized the person inside and exclaimed in surprise, "Ao Feng!"
Yes, the person that appeared within the cave was precisely Ao Feng. He glanced coldly at everyone before his figure flashed and suddenly made a move, and he slaughtered the pursuers as easily as chopping vegetables.
In the blink of an eye, the survivors were slaughtered and scattered in all directions. They had no choice but to run, as they were no match for Ao Feng.
Ao Feng's silhouette flickered in all directions as he chased after the fleeing cultivators.
In the end, only two people were left, and they escaped into the vast sea.
Ao Feng, who landed on the shore of the surging waves, slowly let out a breath. He did not continue to chase after the remaining two people, or rather, he deliberately let them escape.
He recognized the two people who escaped, and he deliberately let the two people from the Wuxu Holy Ground escape.
This was an order from Niu Youdao, and it was to strictly follow Niu Youdao's time plan. Ao Feng did not understand why Niu Youdao wanted him to do this, but he still obeyed. At this point, as long as there was no obvious life-threatening danger, he would carry out Niu Youdao's orders without any hesitation.
He had no choice but to carry it out. If he dared to disobey, there would be no place for him in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland.
Moreover, he knew that there was a Fox Clan Elder who was stronger than him in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, so he had no choice but to obey!
Out of the twelve Immeasurable Fruits, he only had one, and it was enough to make him who he was today. Therefore, he understood that the current Niu Youdao had a very powerful force in his hands. And now, he had no other choice. He had already chosen to stand on Niu Youdao's side.
…
Qin Du, an old man from the Zenith Heaven Holy Ground. His hair was already white, and he was not young anymore.
At this moment, he was riding on a flying beast, and he had just returned from patrolling a certain point, returning to the Zenith Heaven Holy Ground with two attendants.
A silhouette rose from the ground and quickly caught up to the flying beast, flying together with it.
The silhouette's silver dress fluttered in the wind, and her appearance was even more beautiful. She was radiant, and her beauty was indescribable. However, there was a hint of melancholy in her graceful demeanor.
The two attendants were shocked, and they did not know what to say. It was not because of the person's beauty, but because she could fly together with them in the sky. Then, wouldn't her cultivation be …? But among the Nine Sages, they had never seen such a person before.
Qin Du's eyes widened, and it could be said that his eyes were filled with disbelief. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he stammered, "Ma … Madam!"
The person who came was the Fox Clan's old chief, Yin Ji. Yin Ji's bright eyes rippled, and she looked at him. She nodded slightly and smiled, "Old Qin, long time no see."
Qin Du's mouth was dry, and he said, "Madam, is it really you?"
"Give this to him!" Yin Ji took out a letter, and with a flick of her finger, she threw it to him.
Qin Du caught it, looked at the letter in his hand, and then looked at the other party. He discovered that Yin Ji had suddenly turned around, and was quickly flying away in another direction.
He followed with his eyes, and only when the figure completely disappeared did he look at the letter in his hand again. He naturally knew who the "he" that the other party spoke of was.
"Deacon, who is this woman? Do you know her? "one of the attendants asked.
Qin Du's expression was complicated. He did not expect, he really did not expect, that she was actually still alive. He turned back to look at the two attendants, and warned, "Watch your mouths, and pretend you didn't see anything. Otherwise, no one can protect you."
With his many years of experience in the Daluo Sacred Ground, the three of them did not know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that this woman was still alive.
"Yes!" Even though the two attendants were puzzled, they still accepted the order, but they were just muttering in their hearts.
After speeding up and arriving at the Daluo Sacred Ground, Qin Du did not return to report to his superiors. Instead, he went straight to the Daluo Sacred Hall with two attendants.
He did not let the two attendants out of his sight, nor did he allow them to contact or speak to anyone. He restrained them and brought them directly to the Daluo Sacred Hall.
He had been in the Daluo Sacred Ground for many years, and to be able to live until now, he knew what he should do and what he should not do.
He did not have the qualifications to enter the Sacred Hall directly, so he naturally had to report to the guards first.
The guards were also a little surprised. This person actually requested to see the Holy Venerate directly, and his attitude was unyielding. He was not willing to say what was going on, and only said that he had to see the Holy Venerate in person before he could say anything.
Seeing that there was an urgent matter, the guards quickly went inside to report. After a while, they came out and waved, "The Holy Venerate wants you to go in."
Qin Du nodded, and turned back to instruct the two attendants, "Wait here, and do not leave without permission. Without the Holy Venerate's permission, do not talk to anyone, understand?"
"Yes!" The two attendants cupped their hands and accepted the order. Their heartstrings were also stretched taut. Just based on their abilities, they actually needed the Holy Venerate's permission to talk to anyone?
Qin Du looked up at the sky, calmed himself down, and then strode into the Sacred Hall.
Someone led him directly to the back of the Sacred Hall, and he saw Luo Qiu playing chess with his disciple Lu Zhizhang in the pavilion.
Seeing Qin Du, the usually serious Luo Qiu smiled slightly. He knew that although this person was not very capable, he was an honest person. His gaze returned to the chessboard, and he said indifferently, "Elder Qin, why do you insist on seeing me?"
Qin Du looked at Lu Zhizhang, and cupped his hands and said, "Mister Lu, please leave for now."
"…" Lu Zhizhang, who was holding the chess piece in his hand, was speechless. He was quite surprised. Although this person was an elder from the Daluo Sacred Ground, he did not have the qualifications to speak to him like this. However, it was still in front of Luo Qiu, and he could not help but look at Luo Qiu's reaction.
Luo Qiu was also very surprised, but he still nodded his head to signal.
Thus, Lu Zhizhang put down the chess piece, stood up, and when he passed by Qin Du, he could not help but take a few more glances.
"Sit." Luo Qiu gestured to the opposite side.
"I dare not!" Qin Du bowed and declined.
Luo Qiu smiled lightly, "You are an elder from the Sacred Ground. There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to follow those rules." Towards honest people, people without ambition, and old people who had served for many years, he was relatively lenient towards them. Usually, when they met, he would even take the initiative to greet them, which made them feel flattered, and it could be said that he was trying to win their hearts.
However, seeing that he still did not dare to sit, he did not force him, "He has left. What is it?"
Qin Du said in a low voice, "Holy Venerable, I was ordered to go out on patrol, and on my way back, I met someone, and I met the Madam!"
Luo Qiu looked up, and did not react for a moment, "Madam? Which Madam is worth making a fuss about? "
Qin Du said word by word, "Madam Yin Ji!"
Luo Qiu's pupils shrank, and he slowly stood up, walked out of the chessboard, and faced him, "Elder Qin, do you know what you are saying?"
"I can't believe it, I can't believe that I actually met the late Madam. This is the letter that the Madam gave me …" Qin Du handed over a letter with both hands, bowed, and recounted the incident in detail.
After listening, Luo Qiu's cheeks tightened, and he stared at the letter, carefully examining it with his Dharma Eye. He still remembered that he almost failed miserably in the Limitless Garden.
After confirming that there were no problems, he took the letter, opened the seal, and carefully pulled out the letter inside, slowly opening it.
What entered his eyes was a map, and one look was enough to tell that it was a map of the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. He did not understand what it meant, but there were obviously words on the back.
Flipping it over, the lines of words were the main content of the letter, and he was very familiar with the handwriting.
After reading the contents of the letter, Luo Qiu pursed his lips, and the letter slowly closed. He looked up, "Elder Qin, you said that there were two people who saw the Madam?"
Qin Du said, "Yes! They were just outside the hall, and I brought them all the way here, forbidding them from contacting and communicating with anyone. "
Luo Qiu said, "You did the right thing. Those two people will stay here, you don't have to worry about them. You are an old man that I trust, and you should know what to say and what not to say. Just pretend that this never happened, I don't want to hear any rumors, understand? "
Qin Du: "Understood."
Luo Qiu: "Go back."
"Yes!" Qin Du cupped his hands, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.
