The reason why he had sent Yuan Cong all the way there was because he had no other choice.
At the moment, he was using the Thatched Cottage Manor as bait. He had to prevent Wu Chang from doing anything unexpected. If there were any changes, he had to escape in time. Yun Ji, the expert at escaping, could not leave. He had to keep her by his side at all times, just in case.
His Thatched Cottage Villa could not be easily beheaded. Since he knew that there might be risks, he had to take precautions.
When he received the news, Zhuge Chi was not here. He had already been sent to Star picking City and was ready to receive Sha Huanli. If the situation went awry, Zhuge Chi would take Sha Huanli away immediately. This was also the promise that Niu Youdao made to Rulai Sha, and also the only wish that Rulai Sha had put in so much effort to ensure the safety of his daughter.
Therefore, Niu Youdao did not hesitate to send a Nascent Soul Stage expert to take charge of this matter.
As for the others, the people from West Sea Hall were basically being watched by the Sages. Gong Lince was in charge of a sect and had many things to deal with, so it was not convenient for him to leave for too long. He could only protect Hai Ruyue.
After much consideration, he felt that Yuan Cong was the most suitable candidate, so he sent Yuan Qianqian.
After Yuan Cong blocked Xiao Tianzhen, he was afraid that Xiao Tianzhen would repeat himself. Thus, he still secretly guarded Hai Ruyue. Otherwise, if something happened, his efforts would be in vain.
Now that Xiao Tianzhen had returned to the Medicine Valley and confirmed that the danger at Hai Ruyue's side had been resolved, it was impossible for Yuan Cong to continue guarding there. Naturally, he had to retreat.
"Alright!" Yun Ji accepted the order. She turned around and reminded, "After receiving Bai Wuya's message, we've already contacted the members of the Ice Holy Land who are still on the run. If anything happens, we can use them at any time."
Niu Youdao grunted. "Just do as we've planned."
Yun Ji: "The monkey has a different opinion."
Niu Youdao opened his eyes and was puzzled. "He has a different opinion? What do you mean? "
Yun Ji said, "Monkey found out that the people of the Ice and Snow Pavilion also ran away. He found me and asked me to send someone to trap Chu Anlou, the former manager of the Rainbow Inn."
"Arrest Chu Anlou?" Niu Youdao was stunned. "Arrest him for what?"
Yun Ji: "The monkey said that Chu Anlou once slapped your face. Monkey said that he wants to personally deal with Chu Anlou. "
Niu Youdao was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and laughed bitterly, "It's inevitable to get some mud on one's body. It's a little unsightly, but it's not a big deal. If I really remembered everything, how many people had scolded me behind my back and humiliated me openly and secretly? How many people would I have to kill to vent my hatred? Wouldn't it be tiring to bear grudges? Aren't you just making things difficult for yourself? "
Yun Ji: "Monkey is a person who can distinguish between gratitude and grudges. He is straightforward. There are some things that he can tolerate, but there are some things that he can't tolerate. You know how he is. He had good intentions and couldn't bear to see you suffer such humiliation. "
Niu Youdao: "Forget it, it's all in the past. It's just a small matter. A mere Chu 'an Building isn't worth a trip. At this time, let's not complicate matters."
Yun Ji: "I've already sent Wu Zhaoxing to bring people to handle it."
Niu Youdao was speechless. "Are you playing the game of acting first and reporting later? You've already done it, why are you still talking to me? "
Yun Ji: "I have no choice but to agree. Monkey, you know that if I don't agree, he will definitely find a chance to make a trip himself. He won't let Chu Anlou off. Sooner or later, he will find Chu Anlou to settle the score. Now that I thought of telling you, I'm afraid something might happen. I want you to consider it carefully. If you really feel that it's not suitable … I can contact Wu Zhaoxing here. I can call him back. There's still time. "
Thinking of Monkey's character, Niu Youdao felt a toothache. It wasn't worth wasting his breath on this trivial matter. He waved his hand. "Let him do as he sees fit."
Yun Ji smiled and turned to leave.
Not long after she left, Lu Wushuang walked over with a solemn expression. She held a letter in her hand. "His Majesty has sent a letter. Something might happen."
She was now in charge of a part of the intelligence work with Yuan Gang. If there was anything, she would act as Niu Youdao's adviser and provide advice to Niu Youdao as a reference.
Unable to calm down, Niu Youdao opened his eyes, stopped his cultivation and stood up. He took the letter and checked it. After reading it, he frowned and froze on the spot.
Lu Wushuang's tone was heavy. "His Majesty's spies found out that Luo Qiu brought Luo Fangfei and Sha Rulai back to the Saint Region. His spies also saw that they went to the Sacred Ground of Great Overarching Heaven. However, according to the information His Majesty got from the Sacred Ground of Great Overarching Heaven, Luo Qiu and his group didn't return to the Sacred Ground of Great Overarching Heaven. His Majesty is worried that there's something wrong and urgently reported it to us."
Niu Youdao's eyes were solemn. He said in a muffled voice, "Didn't you say that Wu Chang wouldn't hand them over to Luo Qiu easily?"
Lu Wushuang: "This is where the problem lies. There must be a reason why Wu Chang is willing to hand them over."
Niu Youdao pulled a long face. It was meaningless to blame Lu Wushuang for her misjudgment. He said in a low voice, "They obviously went to the Sacred Ground of Great Overarching Heaven, but Luo Qiu, Luo Fangfei, and Sha Rulai didn't return. If Luo Qiu could get them back, he must have given an explanation to the others. They went to the Desolate Swamp Wasteland! "
Lu Wushuang: "The entrance to the Saint Realm is a key location. It won't work if it is controlled by a single party. With various forces mixed together, it will never be clean. Luo Qiu is well aware of this. That old fox played a trick and made extra precautions. By the time those with ulterior motives realized something was wrong, it would be too late. He has calculated the time. It seems that he has made up his mind this time! "
Niu Youdao's eyes turned cold. "One Luo Fangfei is enough. Why did he bring Sha Rulai? Sha Rulai is in danger! "
Lu Wushuang nodded slightly. "Sha Rulai is in danger!"
"It's too late!" Niu Youdao said through gritted teeth. Dong! He slammed his fist on the table. "It's my fault! Luo Qiu, you are ruthless! "
He asked Yinji to go into hiding. If he couldn't see her, Sha Rulai probably wouldn't have any hope of survival.
Lu Wushuang understood what he meant. It was too late to contact Wu Chang now. He sighed. "It's not your fault. Many things are unpredictable. If you want to blame someone, I am responsible for this. You said that sooner or later, we will have to face the four sages. You can't guarantee that everyone will be safe. In the end, some things have to be faced. "
Niu Youdao slowly closed his eyes and said in a muffled voice, "Inform Zhuge Chi that if he doesn't receive news from me in three days, there is no need to wait. He is to take Sha Huanli and escape immediately. He must ensure Sha Huanli's safety at all costs!"
Lu Wushuang hesitated. "If the news of the Desolate Swamp Wasteland reaches Venerable Wang, then the Saint Realm will reach us. Then, we will send a message to Zhuge Chi. Isn't three days a little tight? If Sha Rulai is fine and you take him away, it will arouse Luo Qiu's suspicions. Even if something happens to Sha Rulai, Luo Qiu won't be in a hurry to deal with Sha Huanli. Luo Qiu won't go to Star picking City personally. I can guarantee this. "
Niu Youdao sighed. "Three days at most. Once I receive news that Sha Rulai is fine, I will ask Yun Ji to make a trip personally before the time is up. We can't let Sha Huanli take any more risks. If anything happens to Sha Huanli, I won't be able to answer to Sha Rulai! "
"Mm!" Lu Wushuang nodded. She understood and turned around to carry out the task.
When she arrived at the secret room in charge of sorting out the information, she saw a roll of secret letters sliding out from a hole in the wall and rolling down the chute to the desk.
Yuan Gang was bending over the desk, translating the secret letters that had arrived. Lu Wushuang walked in front of him and said, "Daoye isn't in a good mood."
Yuan Gang looked up. "What's wrong?"
Lu Wushuang walked behind him and conveniently leaned on his shoulder. Yuan Gang wanted to shake her off, but since he wanted to hear what she had to say later, he endured it for the time being.
Lu Wushuang also took the opportunity to lean on him. She whispered into his ear what had happened just now.
She was always like this, unknowingly closing the distance between her and Yuan Gang. The effect was pretty good. Yuan Gang's reaction was no longer as intense as before. He seemed to have slowly gotten used to their physical contact.
…
In the pavilion of Cloud Equipment Sect, Black Stone walked quickly and saw Wu Chang holding a brush and painting. When he got closer to take a look, he saw the portrait of a woman on the paper. It was Yinji's portrait.
The person was extremely beautiful and vividly painted on the paper.
Most people didn't know and only thought that Wu Chang liked to swing his hammer. In fact, Wu Chang's painting skills were superb.
Black Stone had naturally seen it before. At this moment, he clapped his hands and praised, "Holy Venerable's painting skills are truly the best in the world."
Wu Chang nodded. "I didn't expect her to be a demon. My thoughts have faded and I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it in the future. While I still remember it now, leave it on the paper."
Black Stone nodded. "That makes sense."
Wu Chang: "Tell me about your matter."
Black Stone bowed slightly. "In Ice Pavilion, the Class One Hall that was in charge of contacting Chuan Ying was secretly controlled. When the people of Ice Pavilion ran away, they were exposed. Not long after Chuan Ying and her husband were summoned to Ice Pavilion, something happened to the old witch. After Ice Pavilion was destroyed, Chuan Ying and her husband disappeared. According to the information from inside Ice Pavilion, when Ice Pavilion was destroyed, the people who attacked Ice Pavilion had a face-to-face conversation with Chuan Ying and her husband. "
The tip of Wu Chang's brush hovered in the air. "Chuan Ying, Vermillion Beauty Pill, Demonic Book. Hmph, looks like Old Witch really fell into a trap. I was also used."
Black Stone: "Some of the information that Holy Venerable wanted to investigate has also been made progress. The only cultivators who are related to Thatched Cottage Villa are the disciples of Sky Fire Cult, the couple called Kun Linshu. When Niu Youdao subdued him, he caused some commotion. Remember to report it to Holy Venerable."
Wu Chang: "The one who mastered Sky Fire Cult's ultimate skill?"
"Yes!" Black Stone nodded and said meaningfully, "This Kun Linshu just happened to enter the Saint State. When he disappeared, it was when Niu Youdao was assassinated. The place where he disappeared happened to be in the Desolate Swamp Wasteland. Also, this Kun Linshu entered the Saint State under the name of Sky Fire Cult. However, Niu Youdao used all sorts of methods to get him back to his side. In terms of cultivators who have a deep relationship with Thatched Cottage Villa, I'm afraid no one can surpass him. "
"Kun Linshu's wife is called Nie Yunchang, and she's also his junior sister. Her nickname is Fire Phoenix. She had always been in Thatched Cottage Villa, but after Niu Youdao died, Thatched Cottage Villa was chased out of the Violet Golden Cave. This woman stayed in Southern Prefecture for a while before suddenly disappearing. Her whereabouts are unknown. This can be considered to have happened after Kun Linshu disappeared. "
"In addition, after Niu Youdao's death, Thatched Cottage Villa was in a state of chaos. However, that Shang Chaozong quickly stabilized the situation and stabilized the entire Southern Prefecture. From the looks of it now, this doesn't seem to be something that Shang Chaozong can do. "
Wu Chang muttered, "Kun Linshu!"
Black Stone: "When investigating this situation, I wanted to contact the spy in Thatched Cottage Villa, which is the Sect Leader of Mount Five Liang. However, I found out that the lucky survivor had disappeared in the second wave of news leaks. It was said that he had run away after realizing that he was exposed. However, until now, there has been no contact with the Misty Pavilion."
"Previously, many things didn't attract attention. Now that I've investigated according to the Holy Venerable's decree, I found out that there are indeed too many problems. Moreover, they are all hidden problems. Everything has a reasonable reason. It can be seen that the waters of this Thatched Cottage Villa are indeed very deep. Previously, there were no clues at all, and the spy actually didn't find any abnormalities. "
Wu Chang snorted coldly, "Yuan Se is greedy. He actually barged into a den of thieves. He's really courting death!"
