Thatched Cottage was just outside the Prince's Residence, separated from the Prince's Residence by a passageway. The two places were connected by a secret passage.
Both parties met in another underground secret chamber.
"Daoye!" Shang Chaozong, Meng Shanming, and Lan Ruoting greeted Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities. He gestured for them to take a seat and asked, "May I know why the Prince summoned me?"
Shang Chaozong's expression was solemn. "I believe Daoye has heard about the death of the Two Sages."
Niu Youdao replied, "I've heard about it. But unlike the Seven Sages who made it public, Mu Lianze and Zhangsun Mi's real cause of death was at the hands of the Holy Rakshasa in the Butterfly Dreamland. I was there when it happened. To be precise, I was the one who lured them into the Butterfly Dreamland. "
Shang Chaozong and the other two looked at each other. Lan Ruoting asked, "Could it be that the death of the Two Sages was planned by you, Daoye?"
Niu Youdao smiled faintly. "No need to be confused. I did it. Is there a problem?"
Guan Fangyi glanced at him. He had caused such a huge commotion and witnessed the death of the Two Sages. She was unhappy that she could not see it with her own eyes.
She did not know how dangerous it was for Niu Youdao and the others to meet Luo Qiu and the others when they came out of the Fantasy Dreamland.
Of course, knowing that Niu Youdao had killed Mu Lianze and Zhangsun Mi, the shock in her heart had not dissipated yet.
Ever since she followed him from Qi Capital, she had witnessed how he had gotten to where he was today. When she left Qi Capital with him, she did not expect that he would reach the point where he could lay his hands on the Nine Sages.
Looking back at the past and looking at the present, she was filled with emotions.
Hearing this, Shang Chaozong and the other two were shocked. Their faces were full of shock and their hearts were shaken.
Niu Youdao broke the silence. "Did the Prince summon me for this?"
"Uh …" Shang Chaozong came back to his senses and didn't know what to say. He sorted out his emotions and replied, "With such a shocking change, I can see that the guarding cultivators are also uneasy. I don't know if there will be any big changes, so I'm here to ask Daoye for advice on how to handle this situation." His tone and demeanor were exceptionally respectful.
The interaction between the two parties was getting worse and worse. Actually, Niu Youdao's personality hadn't changed much. It was Shang Chaozong who had unknowingly lowered his stance. At least in the eyes of Shang Chaozong and the others, Niu Youdao was no longer the greenhorn that he used to be.
Niu Youdao: "Just do what you need to do. Just do what you need to do. You can't interfere with anything else. I will deal with it on my side. If there are any changes, I will inform the Prince in advance. Don't worry, Prince."
Shang Chaozong nodded his head. "That's great!"
Niu Youdao: "Oh right! It's one thing for you to do your own things, but you also need to make preparations for something else. "
Shang Chaozong: "Daoye, please give me your instructions."
Niu Youdao: "Be prepared to take over the entire Yan Sect. Don't be caught unprepared."
"…" Shang Chaozong and the others looked at each other speechlessly. Take over the entire Yan Sect?
Meng Shanming finally spoke. "Will the three major sects agree?"
Niu Youdao: "I will take care of the three major sects. You don't need to worry about the Yan Sect. The Minister of Public Works, Gao Jiancheng, is one of my men. Back then, I got rid of Tong Mo because I wanted him to take over. After Gao Jiancheng took over, he had been preparing in secret. After such a long time, based on his ability, he should have managed most of his henchmen in the various regions. Once the time is right, the Prince can just make a call. There's no need to worry about any backlash from the various regions of the Yan Sect. Everything will go according to plan. Gao Jiancheng's matter is top secret. The Prince can't reveal any clues. Just deal with him as usual. "
This Gao Jiancheng, who had a grudge against his son, is actually one of his men? Shang Chaozong and the others were speechless. They didn't know what to say.
One secret after another came out of nowhere. The three of them found it hard to digest and were a little dazed.
Guan Fangyi pursed her lips. She realized that the current situation was indeed different from the past. The secrets that she once kept tightly guarded were casually spilled out by him.
Niu Youdao stood up. "I still have other matters to deal with. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Daoye, take care!" Shang Chaozong and the others hurriedly cupped their fists to send him off.
Niu Youdao nodded slightly with a smile. Then, he turned around and left. Yun Ji and Guan Fangyi followed beside him.
After walking to the depths of the secret passage, Yun Ji waved her sleeves. The soil on the ground rumbled and separated the secret passage. This was to prevent anyone from easily breaking into the thatched cottage through the secret passage.
The three of them looked at each other. If they didn't hear wrongly, it seemed like a great joyous event was about to befall them.
"Holding the sun and moon in one's mouth, holding the universe in one's hand!" Meng Shan Ming suddenly sighed.
Returning to his secret chamber, Niu Youdao suddenly stopped and turned around. He stared at Guan Fangyi.
Guan Fangyi felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She asked suspiciously, "What? You have a new lover, why would you still like me? "He glanced at Yun Ji and seemed to be implying something.
Yun Ji glanced at him and ignored him. She didn't like to bicker.
Niu Youdao said, "You have to hurry up on your breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage."
Guan Fangyi said, "I'm more concerned about my own matters than you are."
Niu Youdao didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore. He said to Yun Ji, "Contact the Saint Land and ask them to arrange a way for me to go in. Tell them that I need to bring someone with me."
…
In the Prime Minister Song's Mansion, the courtyard was quiet. Jia Wuqun sighed and shook his head after reading the letter in his hand. He then passed the letter to Yuan Cong.
Yuan Cong was shocked after reading the letter. Niu Youdao killed Mu Lianze and Zhangsun Mi? Unbelievable!
…
In the study room, Shao Pingbo slowly put down the letter in his hand and sat quietly behind his desk.
Shao Sansheng who was sitting beside him asked, "Did he really do it?"
Shao Pingbo sighed and said, "It's obvious that there's someone behind all the recent incidents. They've already started to target the nine saints. It's normal that he did it."
Shao Sansheng sighed and said, "Nine of them and he killed two of them …"
Slowly, Shao Pingbo said, "The Butterfly Illusion Realm … It seems like he has his men in the Wan Shou Sect as well. That guy is really powerful!"
Shao Sansheng said, "I heard that the Misty Pavilion has temporarily put down other matters and is now cleaning up the people from the Unknown Holy Land and the Tian Mu Holy Land."
Shao Pingbo said, "It's reasonable that something like this happened. It's not worth mentioning. I hope it won't affect the war. I asked you to find out if there's anything wrong with the war, right? "
Shao Sansheng said, "I've asked the Black Water Group. According to the request of the High Rank, the Black Water Group has started to attack the heart of the Qi Kingdom. They've sent a large number of spies to contact the officials of the Qi Kingdom to instigate rebellion or frame them. Hao Yuntu's brother, Hao Yunsheng, and his son, Hao Yuntu, have both been used. It's said that the effect is good. Even if the Emperor of Qi knows that it's a conspiracy of the Jin Kingdom, he can't help but be suspicious. He has already punished some people. Now, the Capital of Qi is in a state of unrest. "
Shao Pingbo nodded slightly. "The High Rank has controlled the situation of the battlefield and has given the upper hand to the Jin Kingdom. The situation is not in the Qi Kingdom's favor. It's normal for the officials of the Qi Kingdom to have ideas. I'm afraid that even Hao Yuntu himself won't believe that they're willing to sacrifice their lives. It's the best time to attack the heart of the Qi Kingdom. As long as the people's hearts are shaken, the Qi Kingdom will fall into chaos sooner or later. By then, Huyan Wuhen and Luo Zhao won't be able to save the situation. It seems that the Qi Kingdom is not far from collapsing. Maybe it'll happen all of a sudden. "
Shao Sansheng sighed. "It seems that the Seven Kingdoms will become the Five Kingdoms. The world's weather is changing drastically!"
Shao Pingbo walked to the map of the countries and examined it, his eyes shining …
The shock of the cultivation world had yet to subside. The Seven Saints had ambushed the Unknown Holy Land and the Tian Mu Holy Land. The people of the two sects could not react in time. Moreover, the Seven Saints had participated in the attack personally. The two sects were almost wiped out at the same time. After eradicating the two sects, the Misty Pavilion immediately began to arrest the members of the two sects.
For this reason, all matters of investigation were put aside for the time being. In order to control the situation of the Misty Pavilion.
They also did not arrest all the members of the two sects. They only targeted the direct descendants of the Unknown Holy Land and the Tian Mu Holy Land. The rest surrendered under the threat of the Misty Pavilion, and the Seven Saints also accepted their allegiance.
There were also a small number of people who were on the run. During the pursuit, all the sects had received orders to assist in the pursuit.
Under these drastic changes, there was a sense of turbulence. It was inevitable that people would panic. After all, the major powers of the cultivation world had more or less interacted with the people of the two sects. They were worried that they would be implicated.
In reality, the situation did not have much of an impact. The Seven Saints firmly controlled the situation and did not allow the situation to escalate to the point of chaos …
In the Southern Prefecture, within the rocking carriage, Fire Phoenix Nie Yunchang occasionally glanced at Guan Fangyi. She could not help but ask, "Hongniang, where are we going?"
Guan Fangyi grabbed her hand and patted it. "Don't worry. You'll know when we get there."
After the carriage left the city, they arrived at a secluded farmhouse.
The two of them got off the carriage and entered. They saw Yun Ji standing in the courtyard, waiting for them.
They nodded and greeted each other. Yun Ji waved her hand, indicating for them to enter the house.
Guan Fangyi also stopped and signaled for Fire Phoenix to enter the house.
Fire Phoenix's face was filled with doubt. She looked back three times with every step she took. Finally, she arrived at the front door and pushed it open. She saw a man standing with his hands behind his back.
Seeing that there was no one else in the house, how could Fire Phoenix allow herself to be in the same room as a lone man? She couldn't help but look back.
Guan Fangyi smiled and waved her hand, indicating for her to enter.
Fire Phoenix turned her head again and discovered that the man in the house had already turned around. He lifted his hand and slowly tore off the mask on his face, revealing his true appearance.
After recognizing who it was, Fire Phoenix involuntarily cried out, "Daoye!"
Niu Youdao smiled. "Come in, close the door!"
Fire Phoenix could no longer control her emotions and stepped over the threshold. She hurriedly turned around and closed the door. She then walked over to Niu Youdao and looked him up and down. She said in disbelief, "Daoye, you … didn't you already …"
Niu Youdao said, "Don't worry, I'm not dead. Kun Lin Shu is still alive and well. I didn't tell you the truth before because I had no choice. I heard that you would often wash your face with tears and mistakenly thought that we were just trying to comfort you. It's my fault for making you sad for so long. "
Fire Phoenix shook her head. She didn't have the heart to care about anything else. She wanted to grab hold of him and ask, "Daoye, where is my Senior Brother now?"
Niu Youdao said, "He's still in the Sage Realm. I've revealed myself this time because I want to bring you into the Sage Realm to meet up with Kun Lin Shu. I wonder if you're willing to go?"
How could Fire Phoenix not be willing? She simply nodded her head and said, "I'm willing!" But on second thought, she hesitated. "How do we get in?"
Niu Youdao said, "You don't have to worry about that. I've already made arrangements."
