Only 1.2 million! Almost all the shops of the three sects were emptied out. So many things were only worth 1.2 million!
Black Peony and the others felt their hearts bleed. The greater the number, the greater the loss. What a waste! This was too much of a waste!
Thinking back to a few days ago, how much they had sacrificed for 100,000 gold coins. In the blink of an eye, they had squandered it like this. This change was a little too outrageous, and even they found it hard to accept.
At first, Yuan Fang was quite happy. He had struck it rich!
But when Black Peony and the others told him that the temple was sold at half price, he felt depressed. He had only managed to save a few hundred gold coins by swindling and swindling at Nanshan Temple for several years. In the blink of an eye, how many large temples were gone?
The few people behind Niu Youdao, who had obviously made a huge profit, were a little dejected. The fear they had felt during the robbery had been thrown to the back of their minds. Their minds were filled with the scene of the shopkeeper being so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
It was only after they left Star picking City and jumped into the river that they regained their senses.
It was dark in the water, and Zhang Xuan couldn't find the right direction, so he followed the current.
When he got out of the water, Niu Youdao looked at the stars before entering the water to determine his direction. He then raised his head to look at the stars again. After determining his direction, he took out a fragrant bait given by Lei Zongkang, crushed the wax pill and threw it on the ground.
This time, they didn't use the Moon Butterfly. Instead, they used the moonlight to travel.
Black Peony and the others snapped out of their daze and looked at Niu Youdao, who was flying in front of them, taking the lead.
Throughout their lives, they had done many bad things, swindling and swindling. How many times did they have their heads on the line? But look at Lin Fan, he did not do anything good either. Even if he did it once, it would be equivalent to how many times they had done it.
This was especially so for Black Peony. She had personally witnessed Niu Youdao's painting being worth a hundred thousand gold coins. Now that she saw him looting three shops unhurriedly without even batting an eyelid, she was almost certain that a job that was worth ten or twenty thousand gold coins to them was nothing to this Daoye.
The few of them suddenly realized that Niu Youdao was also a rogue cultivator. Why didn't he have any complaints about being a rogue cultivator? Was it important to establish a sect and break away from the identity of a rogue cultivator? Was it worth it to shamelessly beg for a hundred thousand gold coins?
Yuan Fang was puzzled as well. Only now did he realize that Niu Youdao was right in saying that he was short-sighted and petty. Was it that difficult to get some money to build a temple? Was there a need to worry about that?
After this experience, this group of people really didn't care about small things anymore. Not to say that their horizons had broadened, but their hearts had become bigger!
After cutting through the mountain range, they arrived at the stable once more. Retrieving their mounts, the five of them charged into the depths of the Gobi Desert.
After exiting the Gobi Desert, he entered the grassland and galloped back to the hill.
Pulling his horse to a halt in front of the hill, Niu Youdao looked around warily and ordered: "Send two men to take a look."
Duan Hu and Wu San Liang leaped off their horses, landed on the hill, and flew into the mountain.
After a while, Duan Hu flew back, landed in front of the horse, and said: "Daoye, everyone is here. There's no problem."
Niu Youdao then flew up, and the group flew to the back of the mountain again. They saw Wu San Liang and Lei Zongkang standing side by side, while the tied up Cui Yuan and Yao Youliang sat on the ground.
A few Moon Butterflies lit up the area below. Niu Youdao raised his chin, and Wu San Liang pulled the two people on the ground up.
Niu Youdao looked at the two dejected men and said calmly: "Just now, we returned to Star picking City. Fortunately, we received the information from the two of you. That's how we found out that the shops of the three sects were empty. That's why we emptied the three shops."
"…" Cui Yuan and Yao Youliang were dumbfounded. This group of people actually dared to return to Star picking City, and even … The two of them didn't dare to imagine the consequences if their sects found out.
Lei Zongkang was also stunned. He looked at Black Peony, and the latter nodded slightly. He finally believed it. This guy actually looted the shops of the three sects in Star picking City.
Looting the shops of Star picking City was something he didn't even dare to think about in the past, let alone three shops at once? It was a little crazy to think about it. It seemed like his brothers had also participated in it.
Cui Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "What do you want?"
Niu Youdao said: "Don't worry. I don't like fighting and killing. What's more, you helped us make a fortune, so I won't make things difficult for you." He waved his hand and said, "Let them go."
They looked at each other, and Duan Hu was stunned. "Daoye, let them go?"
"I'm a man of my word. Let them go!" Niu Youdao was very certain.
Duan Hu and Wu San Liang looked at each other, and had no choice but to untie the soft whips tied around the two captives.
Niu Youdao pointed again. "Remove the restriction on them as well."
Duan Hu and Wu San Liang looked at each other again, and did as Niu Youdao said.
The two captives had yet to recover from their serious injuries, so they weren't worried that they would cause any trouble. But everyone was a little confused. Why leave a hidden worry? It would be much easier to just get rid of it. You claim that you don't like fighting and killing, so we'll do it. We're happy to help!
However, Niu Youdao's prestige had been gradually established among them. Since he said so, they didn't have anything else to say, and just did as he said.
Not only them, even Cui Yuan and Yao Youliang couldn't believe it. The two of them had wanted to take Niu Youdao's life, but Niu Youdao actually let them go?
The two of them moved their somewhat numb muscles and bones, feeling a little bewildered.
Yao Youliang said, "Niu Youdao, there's nothing more to say now that we've fallen into this state. If you want to kill us, just say it. There's no need to play like a cat playing with a mouse!"
Niu Youdao held his sword and said, "In the martial world, be it wind or rain, we walk the road, and we make friends! I still have the same words, I don't like fighting and killing. I like to make friends, and I like to be friendly. If I wasn't forced, I wouldn't have made a move. In short, it doesn't matter if you believe me or not. Don't worry, we won't say a word about robbing the shops of the three sects, and we won't say that it was you who told us. Because we don't need to cause trouble for ourselves, the two of you can rest assured and return to your own sects. "
Seeing that the two of them still didn't seem to believe him, he smiled and said, "If the two of you are afraid that it won't be easy to explain when you return, you can say that I asked the two of you to pass on a message, hoping that the three sects will be magnanimous and let me go! Think about how you're going to smooth things over, I don't care how you say it! But the two of you might be reprimanded because of your bad start. I can't help you with that, think of a way yourselves. "
After saying that, he stepped aside and extended his hand in invitation, "Have a safe journey, I won't send you off!"
The two of them were skeptical and carefully walked out of the crowd.
They hadn't gone far when Niu Youdao suddenly spoke again, scaring the two of them, thinking that he was going back on his word. "The two of you, don't touch the horses outside, we need them. It's better if you walk back. Also, it's best if you don't mention Lei Zongkang's betrayal. I did something to the shops, so don't overreach yourself and harm yourself. Have a safe journey, the two of you. Forgive me for not sending you off! "
Cui Yuan and Yao Youliang heaved a sigh of relief and quickened their pace. In the end, they flew up the hill and landed on the grassland. As expected, they didn't touch the horses and fled in panic, afraid that Niu Youdao would regret it. It had to be known that they had tried to take his life!
Behind the hill, Black Peony was still in disbelief. "Daoye, are you really going to let them go just like that?"
"It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive!" Niu Youdao replied nonchalantly.
Black Peony smiled bitterly. "Daoye is magnanimous, but I'm afraid they might not appreciate this favor!"
Niu Youdao said calmly, "Then we'll repay evil with good! In any case, it's not a bad thing to make more friends! "
Black Peony slapped her forehead. She couldn't understand his thoughts. What kind of kindness was this? It would be strange if they treated you as a friend!
Niu Youdao didn't want to argue with her. He turned around and said, "Take the horses that we rode here with us. We'll change mounts along the way. Also, don't forget the communication devices of the three sects. "
The few of them left the forest and arrived at the grassland under the moonlight.
Niu Youdao had Yuan Fang bring the map over. After checking it, he pointed to a place and asked, "Who knows the situation at Mount Crossing Clouds?"
The few of them pondered for a moment. Duan Hu said, "Mount Crossing Clouds isn't too far from here. We can reach it in a day at most."
Wu Sanliang said, "There are many Yao cultivators gathered at Mount Crossing Clouds. The demons are led by the snake demon Yun Ji. Mount Crossing Clouds can be considered Yun Ji's territory, and Yun Ji is also an expert on the Rankings of Alchemy. The State of Zhao once gathered a few cultivators to eliminate the demons. However, the terrain of Mount Crossing Clouds is complicated. It's shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. In addition, the caves on the mountain are like spider webs, so it's very difficult to eradicate them. Yun Ji can't stand it anymore. There are rumors that the State of Zhao and Yun Ji have reached some kind of secret agreement. It's probably that the two sides won't invade each other, and that's why they've been at peace until now. "
This wasn't what Niu Youdao wanted to hear. He had read about this in the Collected Records of the High Qing Dynasty. He asked, "I heard that Yun Ji no longer cares about worldly affairs. The one managing Mount Crossing Clouds is her son Yun Huan. There are rumors that Yun Huan is extremely greedy and forsakes morality at the sight of profit. Is that true?"
Black Peony said, "Something like that. As for whether or not he's extremely greedy and forsakes morality at the sight of profit, that's debatable. The situation at Mount Crossing Clouds is clear. The path to wealth is limited. It's difficult for anyone to be the head of the household. Some of Yun Huan's actions aren't hard to understand."
Niu Youdao nodded slightly and looked around at the crowd. "Does anyone know anyone from Mount Crossing Clouds?"
Everyone was stunned. Black Peony looked left and right, then asked tentatively, "If we're talking about true acquaintances, I don't think any of us have. However, Mount Crossing Clouds isn't too far from here. It's normal for the little demons on the mountain to have met each other. There are some who have greeted each other. I wonder if that counts as acquaintances?"
Niu Youdao asked with interest, "Do any of you know each other and can say their names?"
"There are one or two," Black Peony nodded, then asked suspiciously, "Daoye, could it be that you want to go to Mount Crossing Clouds?"
Niu Youdao asked, "Could it be that I can't go?" He gave the map to Yuan Fang and put it away. He took out a wax pellet, crushed it, and threw it on the ground. He leapt onto his horse and shouted, "Let's go!"
Everyone was stunned. They all glanced at the wax pellet on the ground, then leapt onto their horses and followed.
The group galloped through the night. Black Peony caught up to Niu Youdao and asked, "Daoye, could it be that you want to borrow Mount Crossing Clouds to deal with the people from the Three Sects? Daoye, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid that Mount Crossing Clouds won't do such a thing. "
