When the demon fox disappeared, Luo Qiu waved his sleeves and the two lying on the ground gradually woke up.
Realizing that they were lying on the ground, Sha Rulai and Luo Fangfei were very surprised. When they got up and saw their surroundings, they were even more surprised. Desolate Swamp Wasteland?
Seeing Luo Qiu here, Sha Rulai was bewildered.
"Father, are we in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland?" Luo Fangfei asked.
Luo Qiu nodded.
Luo Fangfei asked, "Are we here to hunt the demon fox?"
Luo Qiu nodded again and looked at his daughter with a slightly complicated gaze.
Luo Fangfei was curious, "Father, you are here to hunt the demon fox?"
Luo Qiu replied with a noncommittal "En".
Luo Fangfei quickly noticed the abnormality and raised her hands, "Father, why is my magic power restricted? Help me release it. "
Luo Qiu said calmly, "Stay here quietly."
Luo Fangfei was dissatisfied, "If you don't release my magic power restriction, how can I hunt the demon fox?"
Luo Qiu said, "You don't have to do it yourself, stay at the side."
Luo Fangfei pouted and turned to walk to Sha Rulai. She said affectionately, "Senior apprentice-brother, help me release it."
Sha Rulai was silent for a while before saying, "My magic power is also restricted." What he meant was that he couldn't help her release it.
"What the hell?" Luo Fangfei grumbled behind Luo Qiu. She was naturally blaming Luo Qiu.
If it was someone else, who would dare to say such words?
However, she was magnanimous and didn't think much of it. Looking at the situation, her senior apprentice-brother could only stay with her obediently. She was actually quite happy about it.
Rulai Sha walked in front of Luo Qiu and probed, "Master, did something happen?"
Luo Qiu was expressionless, "You will know when the time comes."
With that, Sha Rulai couldn't say anything else and could only shut up and leave.
He wasn't Luo Fangfei, he wasn't so magnanimous. He could faintly sense the approaching danger and realized that he might be in trouble this time.
Because he knew very well what had happened. Although he didn't know about Granny Xue's death, Niu Youdao communicated with the Fox Clan through him. He knew that Niu Youdao was setting up a trap to get rid of Granny Xue. Wu Chang suddenly captured him. He knew that Wu Chang had already met with Yin Ji.
Luo Qiu was able to get him back from Wu Chang, which meant that Luo Qiu already knew about the meeting between Wu Chang and Luo Qiu.
Previously, when he returned to the Saint Realm, he had clearly returned to the Daluo Sacred Ground. However, when he woke up from his coma, he was in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. What did this mean?
This meant that Luo Qiu was trying to hide something.
In other words, Niu Youdao and the rest probably didn't know that he had been brought to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland, so they wouldn't be able to intervene and rescue him in time.
Needless to say, the reason why they appeared in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland was because of Yin Ji.
There was only one possibility for him and Luo Fangfei to appear here. It was also because of Yin Ji. Yuan Se wanted to capture Luo Fangfei for something, but it was Luo Qiu himself who came to execute it.
Using Luo Fangfei to threaten Yin Ji was understandable. Sha Rulai was bewildered by the reason why he was brought here. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that he was in danger.
There were some things that he was well aware of, but he couldn't say it. Once he said it, he would be exposed.
He also couldn't tell Luo Fangfei. If he did, it would only cause a quarrel between Luo Fangfei and Luo Qiu. In this matter, Luo Fangfei couldn't change Luo Qiu's decision. Not only would it not help the situation, it would also arouse Luo Qiu's suspicion towards him.
He could only hope that he guessed wrong. He could only quietly wait for the outcome that he was unwilling to face to arrive.
Was there any fear? More or less, there was some.
But he was also helpless. Initially, in order to be safe, Niu Youdao specially instructed him to avoid it. But he didn't expect that Wu Chang would spend so much effort to capture him.
Luo Fangfei didn't know anything. She was very happy. Like a little girl, she lifted her skirt and ran among the bushes. She picked some bright flowers and wove them into a garland to wear on her head.
Luo Qiu would occasionally glance at her. His deep gaze revealed some complicated feelings.
Not only for herself, Luo Fangfei wove another garland and ran over to present it to Sha Rulai. "Senior brother, try it on."
Sha Rulai forced a smile and glanced at Luo Qiu. Suddenly, he tilted his head and signaled to Luo Fangfei to give Luo Qiu a garland as well.
Luo Fangfei listened to him and immediately ran over happily. She wove another garland and ran to Luo Qiu. She smiled and said, "Father, I'll put it on for you."
Luo Qiu raised his hand to block it and said dully, "What a scandal."
He was the Daluo Saint Venerable. What was the point of wearing a garland on his head? Did he not want to be stern and dignified?
Sha Rulai once again signaled to Luo Fangfei with his eyes. Thus, Luo Fangfei insisted. She grabbed Luo Qiu's hand and forced it to Luo Qiu. In a slightly coquettish manner, she said, "This is a gift from your daughter. It's a token of my sincerity. You can't not accept it."
Luo Qiu was speechless. He stared at his daughter's cheerful figure and looked down at the garland on his hand. It was a gift that his daughter had personally gathered and wove for him. His face tightened.
Behind, Sha Rulai observed quietly, hoping that Luo Fangfei's actions would move this person.
…
The letter was delivered. That demon fox couldn't directly deliver the letter to Yin Ji. Yin Ji had already gone into hiding according to Niu Youdao's instructions.
Looking at the contents of the stone letter in his hand, Heiyun was very anxious. He wanted to discuss it with the elders but didn't dare to do so.
Niu Youdao said that there was a traitor within the Fox clan. The old clan leader went into hiding because of this. Niu Youdao said that he would find out who the traitor was as soon as possible. Once it was confirmed that it was safe, he would allow the old clan leader to regain contact with the outside world.
However, the contents of the letter were very important. He really couldn't make the decision. Finally, he clenched his teeth and left the underground palace. He went straight to where Yin Ji was hiding.
In an underground cave in the depths of the swamp, there were a few luminous pearls illuminating the place. Yin Ji was meditating here.
The arrival of Heiyun broke the peace of this place.
After receiving Niu Youdao's letter, Yin Ji understood the Fox clan too well. The Fox clan was different from humans. There would be grudges within the Fox clan too. However, she felt that it was impossible for there to be a traitor in the Fox clan. She felt that Niu Youdao was worrying too much. She firmly believed that her own clan members wouldn't betray her.
However, Heiyun was a little afraid. He had seen Niu Youdao's capabilities. Since Niu Youdao said that, he had to be careful.
Hence, after much effort, Heiyun persuaded Yin Ji to temporarily go into hiding.
However, Yin Ji didn't cut off all contact with the outside world. She was worried that she wouldn't be able to find her if something happened. Especially after killing Granny Xue, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to appear in time to protect her clan members when the Sage State launched their revenge. Hence, she kept a channel of contact with the outside world.
She kept the contact with Heiyun. She felt that Heiyun definitely wouldn't be a traitor. Heiyun naturally knew that he wouldn't be a problem. Hence, he agreed to Yin Ji's request.
However, Niu Youdao's order was for Yin Ji to cut off all contact with the outside world.
In other words, Yin Ji didn't listen to Niu Youdao.
Hence, Yin Ji saw the letter that Luo Qiu sent over. After reading the contents of the letter, Yin Ji's face was filled with grief and indignation. Her hand that was holding onto the stone trembled.
In the letter, Luo Qiu invited her to negotiate. The location was still the same place where she had arranged to meet her daughter.
Don't you want to see your daughter? Luo Qiu said that he had brought his daughter and son-in-law.
Luo Qiu said that from the time of sending the letter, there was a time limit of two days. If she didn't appear, if she didn't want to solve the problem, he would put an end to it.
If she didn't appear, two days later, Luo Qiu guaranteed that he would kill Luo Fangfei and Sha Rulai. He would completely cut off all contact between him and her!
"How can you do this? She is your daughter! "Yin Ji, who was holding onto the stone, sobbed. After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave.
Hei Shi, who was anxiously pacing around at the side, was startled. He immediately opened his arms to stop her. "Old Patriarch, you can't go. This is definitely a trap set by Luo Qiu to lure you out."
When he received the letter, he was afraid that this would happen.
However, when he received the letter, he couldn't make the decision. This matter concerned the life and death of the Old Patriarch's daughter and son-in-law. How could he make the decision? How could he not inform the Old Patriarch?
When he received the letter, he regretted it. He regretted not listening to Niu Youdao. If he didn't know where the Old Patriarch was, he wouldn't have to make a decision.
Now, he couldn't sit and watch as the Old Patriarch jumped into the trap. He also couldn't sit and watch as the Old Patriarch's daughter and son-in-law died.
Yin Ji choked with sobs. "Little Black, step aside."
Heiyun shook his head and refused to let her pass. "Old Patriarch, wait, wait. Send someone to contact Niu Youdao. He has a way. He definitely has a way."
Even he didn't believe what he said. Luo Qiu only gave him two days. Even if he sent an Nascent Soul expert to rush out of the Sage Land to meet Niu Youdao, it would be too late for Niu Youdao to react and rescue them. Moreover, this stone had already spent a lot of time to reach here.
Luo Qiu had obviously calculated it carefully. He knew that the Desolate Swamp Wasteland was vast. The demon fox below couldn't fly. It would be inconvenient to send a message. If he waited for Yin Ji to rush here, she wouldn't be able to make it in time. Thus, he left a lot of time.
Yin Ji shook her head in frustration. "It's too late."
Heiyun said anxiously. "Old Patriarch, that is Luo Qiu's daughter. He must be tricking us. He wouldn't kill his own daughter."
…
Yun Ji entered the secret chamber and reported to Niu Youdao, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. "There's news from the Ghost Doctor. It's confirmed that Xiao Tianzhen has given up on revenge. The Ghost Doctor and his team are already on their way back to the Medicine Valley."
Niu Youdao didn't open his eyes. He said softly, "Inform Yuan Cong to withdraw."
With Guo Man, the insider, by the Ghost Doctor's side, the Ghost Doctor and his team's movements couldn't be hidden from them.
Not just Guo Man. To a certain extent, Guo Man was only the tip of the iceberg of Niu Youdao's power. All these years, he didn't just manage the big things that he could see. He also made arrangements behind the scenes for many other minor matters. It could be said that his current power was already quite huge. There were very few places that he didn't have his hands in and out of the country and the Sage Land. Without such a huge power, he wouldn't dare to easily cross swords with the Nine Sages.
After learning that the Medicine Valley was rushing to the Gold State to avenge Xiao Tianzhen, he immediately sent a message to Yuan Cong to intervene. He didn't want any internal chaos in the Gold State. It was better for the Gold State to continue being controlled by Hai Ruyue and her gang.
This was one of the minor matters that he had been dealing with behind the scenes.
