After making a rough guess and judgment of the cause and effect, Niu Youdao shook his head. If it was true, then King Ning and his people were really ruthless.
In order to cover up the secret, they did not hesitate to sacrifice the entire hidden village. Most of the people hiding in the village were King Ning's trusted subordinates. Even Meng Shanming was among them. They were prepared to sacrifice Meng Shanming as well!
But then again, because of this, once it was discovered, it would prove that it was King Ning's real secret. Only then would it not arouse suspicion, and the truth would be better concealed.
Meng Shanming's troops were sharp in battle, but no matter how sharp they were, they could not compare to the power of a hundred thousand Crow Generals. Meng Shanming's thousands of troops would be wiped out. Weighing the pros and cons, it was not difficult to understand King Ning's decision.
For this secret, Ning Wang could be said to have sacrificed his own daughter. That ghostly face!
"Let's go back." Niu Youdao sighed after coming back to his senses.
The three of them left the kitchen.
For the next few days, Guan Fangyi kept a close eye on Niu Youdao.
Everyone was curious, especially about things like maps and treasures. Guan Fangyi believed that Niu Youdao would definitely go treasure hunting after obtaining the map. She wanted to tag along and take a look.
But the situation disappointed her. Niu Youdao was at ease and did not seem to have any intention of leaving.
Unbeknownst to her, Niu Youdao also wanted to confirm the markings on the map, but the current situation made it inconvenient for him to leave.
If Lu Wushuang's words were true, the consequences would be dire. Dealing with the crisis was the most important thing. The most important thing now was to confirm the situation of the Six Sages.
…
Medicine Valley. One-eyed Concubine Yuanfei arrived. She entered the pharmacy that was filled with the smell of medicine and saw the Ghost Doctor and his disciple pouring bottles and jars.
The Ghost Doctor, who tilted his head to look, was startled. He put down what he was doing and cupped his hands. "Saint Concubine, please forgive me for not going out to meet you."
Wu Xin, who was at the side, bowed as well.
Concubine Yuanfei forced herself to smile. "My abrupt visit has disturbed Mister Hei Li."
The Ghost Doctor said: "I won't disturb you. Since the Holy Concubine is here, it must be because the Holy Venerable has some instructions. This old man will listen respectfully. "
Concubine Yuan waved her hand and smiled, "Mister is overthinking. I just want to ask Mister something. Didn't Mister say that you were going to find a suitable eyeball for me to transplant? Why did I hear that Mister has always been in the Medicine Valley … Mister doesn't seem to have any intention to go out and find one for me."
"Otherwise." The Ghost Doctor shook her head and reached out to grab a bottle of medicine. "The last time I was looking for a suitable one for the Holy Lord, I almost used up all of my prescriptions. This little old man is currently preparing a large amount of medicine in preparation for the journey. The Sacred Concubine knows that it's not easy to find a suitable eyeball. I'm afraid it won't work if I don't concoct enough medicine. I might have to come back soon after I leave. "
"I see." Concubine Yuan nodded repeatedly. She did not know if what he said was true or false, but she did not dare to offend him now, so she could only be polite. However, he still couldn't help but say, "Mister, please hurry up. If there's anything you need, just let me know."
The Ghost Doctor said, "There's no way to hurry this matter, we can only do it step by step. It's fine if you want it to be quick, but there's nothing you and I can do."
Concubine Yuan was afraid that he would deliberately dawdle, so she hurriedly said, "If there's a good way to speed things up, why don't you tell me, maybe I can help."
The Ghost Doctor put down the bottle of medicine. "Let's put it this way, no matter how suitable the eyeball is, it's still someone else's. If someone else's eye is placed on your body, you will more or less be a little unsuitable. The only one that is truly perfect is your own. You can ask the Holy Lord if she's willing to return that eye to you. If the Holy Lord is willing, everything will not be a problem, and you will be able to completely recover. "
Concubine Yuan was speechless.
…
A few days after the matter in the kitchen, Yuan Gang entered the secret room with a heavy expression. Two secret letters were placed together on Niu Youdao's desk. "Sha Ru Lai has replied, and there's also a letter from the Fox Clan. Sha Ru Lai has forwarded both of them."
Niu Youdao noticed his expression and took the two letters to read. The first one was from the Fox Clan's Yin Ji.
Yin Ji informed him that she had arranged a meeting with the Five Sages other than Luo Qiu according to the arrangement here. In the end, none of the Five Sages showed up, so she asked what to do here.
With regards to this result, Niu Youdao was not too surprised. When the Holy Rakshasa suddenly ran out of the Butterfly Dreamland and entered the human world, he already knew that there was an accident in the plan. The sudden appearance of the Holy Rakshasa conflicted with his own plan, and it might affect his own plan. Now it seemed that it was indeed so.
He took out the letter and placed it aside. Niu Youdao instructed, "Reply and tell her that I already know. Tell her to stop meeting with the Five Sages and wait for my notice."
Yuan Gang grunted, but kept his eyes on Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao's gaze fell on the second letter, and his brows gradually furrowed.
Sha Ru Lai informed him that Luo Qiu had not returned to the Saint Land by the time the letter was sent. The people at the entrance of the Saint Land also did not see the other Sages returning to the Saint Land. The Daluo Holy Land had received Luo Qiu's message. Luo Qiu indicated that he would not return for the time being. He asked the disciples of the Daluo Holy Land to perform their respective duties, and if there were any urgent matters, they could send him a message.
Another thing was that Luo Qiu had transferred some people from the Daluo Holy Land.
From the feedback from the entrance of the Saint Land, the other Sages had also transferred people out of the Saint Land.
It could be confirmed that the Six Sages were still in the human realm. Sha Ru Lai did not know where Luo Qiu was in the human realm, and the other people from the Daluo Holy Land did not seem to know either. Luo Qiu only told them to contact him if there was anything.
Putting down the letter in his hand, Niu Youdao was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he asked, "Did the spies from all over the world send any news about the Six Sages?"
Yuan Gang replied, "No. The reply from the West Sea Hall also said that after the small town, the Six Sages disappeared. No one knows where they went. His knowledge is limited, and he thought that the Six Sages had returned to the Saint Land. "
Niu Youdao pondered, "The Six Sages are such a big target. They would cause a stir wherever they go. No matter where they go, they would cause a huge commotion. Their appearance in the human realm would have been known by all the spies from all over the world. Even the Myriad Beasts Clan, Purple Golden Cave, Spirit Sect, and Sky Way Sect did not hear anything about it. This is very unusual. If that's the case, there's only one possibility! "
Yuan Gang nodded. "They didn't do anything in the open. Instead, they moved into the shadows."
Niu Youdao nodded. "That's right. I was discussing with others before that the Six Sages were out in the open while we were in the shadows. This was our advantage. Who would have thought that they would suddenly play such a trick. This is a bit troublesome. There aren't many cultivators in the world who have seen the Six Sages. Apart from those with special physiques like Yuan Se, if they deliberately hid their identities, I'm afraid that no one would be able to recognize them even if they walked around. I reckon that even if they came to Nanzhou Prefecture City and stood in front of our house, no one would be able to recognize them. "
Yuan Gang suddenly hesitated. "Daoye …"
Niu Youdao looked up. "Why are you so vague?"
Yuan Gang: "Looks like what Lu Wushuang said was true. The Six Sages have indeed abandoned the Saint Land and personally made a move in the human realm."
Niu Youdao fell silent. How could he not know that this meant that if what Lu Wushuang said was true, then their previous attack might really have left behind a lot of flaws. Once the Six Sages targeted them, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if they could escape now, what about the others? The entire Nanzhou would most likely flow with rivers of blood.
Looking at Lu Wushuang's words, she seemed to know how to resolve this crisis.
It wasn't difficult to understand why she could resolve it. She understood the Six Sages and had been at odds with them for so many years. She obviously had experience in dealing with them.
But Lu Wushuang's meaning was also very clear. She had already made it very clear that if they wanted to ask for her help, they had to show "sincerity".
It was fine if they didn't ask for her help, then they could only solve it themselves. But they didn't even know where the flaws were and where the crux of the problem was. They were completely in the dark and didn't know how to deal with it.
Niu Youdao also didn't know how to discuss this with Yuan Gang. In fact, when he talked to Lu Wushuang that day, he was actually a little moved by Lu Wushuang's words.
Was the monkey and Feng Guaner suitable? From the standpoint of the monkey, there was indeed no one more suitable than Lu Wushuang. He had to admit that Lu Wushuang's view of the problem was very thorough. Her words might not be pleasant to hear, but they were indeed reasonable. Not to mention that it could solve the huge crisis in front of them.
But he also had his bottom line. There were things that he should do and things that he shouldn't do. If it were someone else, he might not hesitate and forcefully push for it. But if he pushed the monkey out to make a deal for this kind of matter, how could he open his mouth?
"Since I gave her a promise, it's not a big deal for me to fulfill it and marry her. It's also what I should do." Yuan Gang suddenly said.
Niu Youdao's five fingers slowly crumpled the letter into a ball. "You have to think about this carefully."
Yuan Gang said woodenly, "I'm a man. I won't lose out when it comes to taking advantage of others."
Niu Youdao: "What advantage? Can a man take advantage of a man just by rolling around together? You and I are not petty commoners. Don't fart in front of me when men think they are infallible. It's a fallacy to say that men take advantage of others and make it sound like the woman has suffered a great loss. "
Yuan Gang: "You have no other way now. Otherwise, you would have solved it long ago."
Niu Youdao was silent for a while before he said, "I underestimated her. After getting to know her, I realized that for a person like Lv Wushuang, the affairs of the world are nothing to her. She doesn't have anything holding her back and can only face reality. She doesn't have any weaknesses that can be used. Family, friendship, master-disciple relationship, gratitude and grudges are all useless to her. Even if it's for benefits, she is very clear about what she wants and what she can get. The methods used to deal with other people are useless to her. "
"I have been thinking about her and everything around her for a long time. For the time being, I really don't know how to deal with her. Now it seems that I can only use torture to test her. After slowly figuring out the situation, there may be a way to deal with her. "
Yuan Gang: "If she doesn't say anything, if what she said is true, we really don't have much time left. Will we make it in time? Daoye, in fact, you already have the best method in your heart. It's just that you don't want to use it on me. "
Niu Youdao: "Are you willing?"
Yuan Gang: "If I can prevent the deaths of so many people in Nanzhou, I will definitely be willing. I won't feel forced."
Niu Youdao: "No matter how many people are prevented from dying, those people won't remember your kindness. Perhaps, as you said, they will think that you have taken advantage of them. That woman is not simple. Marrying her is tantamount to putting a rein on yourself. Think about it carefully. We are not completely without a way out. "
Yuan Gang knew what his so-called way out was. It was nothing more than a choice between protecting a small number of people and protecting the majority. He decisively said, "Daoye, let's do it this way!" Then he turned and left.
Niu Youdao leaned back in his chair, his eyes flashing.
