After leaving the Medicine Hut, Wu Xin still didn't believe that Yan Baoru was a traitor, or rather, he still had a sliver of hope in his heart.
People like him were different from other people. In his heart, he was still willing to believe in the good.
Of course, this was also related to the Ghost Doctor not telling him the truth.
He decided to look for Yan Baoru again. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding? Thus, he called over Wu Xiang and Guo Man, and together, they searched the Medicine Valley.
After searching the entire Medicine Valley and confirming that Yan Baoru had truly disappeared and had truly left, Wu Xin was disappointed and disappointed. Only then did he believe that Yan Baoru had truly run away.
Because Yan Baoru would never leave without a reason.
Because of this, he increasingly felt the sinister nature of people's hearts. He never would have thought that the person who had been so loyal and devoted to taking care of him for so long was actually a spy sent by someone else. This was a kind of destruction and trampling on the good in his heart. In the future, he would be more careful with people and not easily trust others.
However, that doubt still existed in his heart. Why did Master properly investigate this matter?
At this time, Niu Youdao appeared on a small isolated island in the boundless sea.
On the island, there was a bird sitting on a reef, turning its head to comb its feathers in the wind.
The disguised Yun Ji stood to the side. Beside her sat a plain-clothed woman. It was none other than Yan Baoru, whose Fa Li had been restricted.
She had already been captured by Yun Ji. With Guo Man, that traitor, Yan Baoru didn't suspect anything and was easily lured out of the Medicine Valley by Guo Man. Then, she ran into Yun Ji's hands. With Yun Ji's cultivation, she naturally didn't cause much of a commotion and was easily captured.
Seeing that Niu Youdao had returned, Yun Ji asked, "How was it?"
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, indicating that the matter had been settled. He walked in front of Yan Baoru and looked down at her, pondering how to deal with this woman.
Yan Baoru, who was sitting on a rock, raised her head to look at him and asked, "Who are you people? I … "Her expression suddenly tightened as she met Niu Youdao's gaze. Her pupils shrank, and with a somewhat frightened expression, she cried out," Niu Youdao! You didn't die? "
"…" Niu Youdao was stunned.
Yun Ji also looked at Niu Youdao in surprise. He had disguised himself, so how could Yan Baoru see through him at a glance? Could there be something unspeakable between this man and woman? Otherwise, how could Yan Baoru recognize him so easily? How familiar was Yan Baoru with Niu Youdao to be able to recognize him?
Niu Youdao, who was a little confused, came back to his senses and smiled. "What's Niu Youdao?"
Yan Baoru didn't say anything. She lowered her head and her eyes flickered, as if she was avoiding something.
Niu Youdao suddenly felt that there was no point in pretending anymore. This woman had obviously recognized him. He immediately spoke in his original voice, "You can recognize me? Yan Baoru, it seems that the incident in Tiandu Mystic Realm left a deep impression on you! "
The other party admitted it. Yan Baoru's heart surged with despair. She had wanted to pretend that she had called out wrongly, thinking that she might be able to escape this calamity. She already regretted calling out the other party's name. Now, she could only grit her teeth and stand up. She said in grief and indignation, "Niu Youdao, I've already hid here. You still won't let me go?"
Niu Youdao understood. This person still thought that he wanted to find her to settle the debt from back then. He couldn't help but chuckle. "You're thinking too much. You're still not worth my effort. I originally didn't intend to do anything to you, but you actually recognized me. This makes things difficult for me. "
This wasn't a lie. He had appeared to meet the Ghost Doctor. The things they talked about could easily expose Guo Man.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal if she was exposed. The Ghost Doctor wouldn't dare to touch his people. But it involved such a big matter. If an accident happened, the consequences would be unthinkable. He had no choice but to leave his eyes and ears behind to keep an eye on the Ghost Doctor. If the Ghost Doctor made any strange movements, he would be able to grasp it in time.
For this kind of matter, he had personally taken action. Based on his abilities and methods, it was a walk in the park. How could he easily leave a loophole?
To put it bluntly, he had captured this person to protect Guo Man. This way, Guo Man could continue to hide beside the Ghost Doctor and her disciple.
That year, when Guo Man failed to successfully stop Yan Baoru from interfering with Wu Xin's side, Guo Man had even asked for help, hoping to remedy the situation. It was he, Niu Youdao, who dropped the matter and let Yan Baoru go. To him, who had left Tiandu Secret Territory, based on his influence and strength, trash like Yan Baoru was no longer a threat to him. Keeping Yan Baoru was because he planned to use her as a scapegoat for Guo Man someday. That year, he had kept her as a backup, just in case. He didn't think that there would actually be a day when she would be put to good use.
Yan Baoru said sorrowfully, "Guo Man is one of your people?" Now that things had come to this, if he still couldn't see that she had been tricked by Guo Man, then he would be an idiot.
Niu Youdao: "This isn't something you should be concerned about. I don't like to fight and kill, and I don't like to casually kill people, especially a beauty like you. But now, you are making things difficult for me. Tell me, how should I deal with you? If you don't give me a reason to let you go, then I can only let you feed the fishes in the sea … which is better than feeding ants. "
Yan Baoru pursed her lips and asked, "What will make you let me go?"
Niu Youdao said indifferently, "Give me a reason not to worry."
Yan Baoru asked back, "Do you mean what you say?"
Niu Youdao: "Do you think I need to talk nonsense with you?"
Indeed! Yan Baoru was silent for a while and said with difficulty, "There is another important reason why I helped Tong Mo back then. I have a son!"
Niu Youdao was surprised. "You have a son? As far as I know, haven't you always been single? "
Yan Baoru: "Do you think I can't find a man?"
Niu Youdao looked her up and down. "That's true. With your looks, you shouldn't lack men. I thought you were not interested in men."
Yan Baoru: "Which woman hasn't been pregnant before? I was also young, ignorant, and impulsive. Later, I found out that the reason why the man didn't want to expose our relationship was that he had another woman outside. I was so angry that I killed him! But at that time, I was already pregnant and my child was innocent. "
Niu Youdao: "Did Tong Mo pinch your son?"
Yan Baoru shook her head. "No! When I was adventuring in the cultivation world, I couldn't avoid making enemies. Back then, I wasn't strong enough to run amok. For the sake of my child's safety, I secretly fostered him with someone else. When my child grew up and didn't have the aptitude for cultivation, I could only watch him marry a wife and have children like a normal person in the secular world.
"In this chaotic world, what can an ordinary family do? Can they survive by hiding? If I want to survive in the secular world, it's not convenient for me to show my face. I needed someone with power to take care of me. I asked Tong Mo to take care of me secretly. Tong Mo only knows that he is my relative, but he doesn't know that he is my son. "
Niu Youdao chuckled. "Back then in the Secret Territory of Tiandu, you actually didn't tell me when I forced you to such a state?"
Yan Baoru: "You clearly didn't want to let me go so easily. It's fine as long as I can explain myself. Is it worth it for me to throw my own child away?"
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows. "Then why are you willing to tell me now?"
Yan Baoru: "Guo Man is one of your people. The fake Niu Youdao that she got was probably arranged by you. Rumor has it that you died in the Saint Territory, but you're still alive. In other words, the one who died was fake. Even I could tell that something was wrong with Wuxin and Shao Liuer's matter, so it's impossible for Guo Man not to see it. You must have grasped Wuxin and Shao Liuer's secret. Capturing Shao Liuer and using her as a hostage must have something to do with you. "
"Yuan Se met with an accident at Thatched Cottage Villa. The fact that you're still alive already proves that something is wrong. Recently, the Nine Saints have met with a series of accidents, and they must have something to do with you. With your current power, even if you kill me, there's no need for you to make things difficult for my family who knows nothing. Although I'm not clear about what the Ghost Doctor and his disciple have done, now that I've seen you, I can feel that they've been involuntarily dragged into the storm against the Nine Saints. If anything happens to them, as one of their people, I can forget about escaping. "
"I understand now. The Ghost Doctor and his disciple have long been under your control. My life and death have always been under your control. The fact that you've allowed me to live until now shows that you're magnanimous." Actually, she really wanted to say that people like you are too scary.
After she finished speaking, she actually knelt down in front of Niu Youdao and kowtowed. "Daoye, please be magnanimous and give me a chance. I'm willing to rely on you, to be your servant, to serve you. Please give me a way out. From today onwards, my life is yours!"
In order to live, she did not care about her dignity. She was straightforward and thorough.
She knew that this was her last chance to live. If she didn't grab hold of it, then she really wouldn't have another chance.
"Haha, you've really made me look at you in a different light." Niu Youdao smiled and turned to look at Yun Ji. "What son did she say? Check it out?"
Yun Ji nodded and gave her opinion.
"The martial world is full of gratitude and grudges, right and wrong. I hope that this kneel of yours will not disappoint me!" Niu Youdao sighed and turned around. He looked around at the boundless blue sea as though he was looking at the ages. He sighed faintly. "Let's go!"
… …
On the plains, a fierce battle was unfolding. The Qin army had rebelled and the Qi army had counterattacked. Thousands of soldiers and horses were charging towards them.
Just as the two armies were about to collide head-on, suddenly, as though the sky had collapsed and the earth had sunk in, the Qi army that was charging at the front suddenly stomped on the ground and fell into a ravine. The cavalry at the back could not stop in time and the Qi army collided fiercely. The Qi army that was charging was instantly thrown into chaos.
"Kill!" Luo Zhao, who was under the army flag, drew his sword and roared angrily.
The barricades that had been blocking the cavalry's charge were quickly moved away. Large numbers of soldiers charged towards the ravine that had not collapsed. Taking advantage of the Qi army's confusion, they stabbed into the Qi army like many sharp knives.
On the Qin army's side, a large number of soldiers carrying sacks rushed to the collapsed area and threw down sacks filled with soil. Very quickly, the ravine was filled up. The Qin army charged over and cooperated with the Qi army that had charged in and cut the Qi army apart.
This was a forced war. Luo Zhao did not want to fight, but he had no choice.
The Jin army's high ranks did not want to fight, but they had no choice.
The Jin imperial court had started pressuring. The Cloud Equipment Sect was pressuring the imperial court. More accurately, the three saints were pressuring the Cloud Equipment Sect.
Wu Chang was fine, but Du Wuxu and Lan Daolin had lost their patience. Looking at the Jin army's attitude, they did not know how long it would last. What the hell were they doing? Hence, they started pressuring. Since the two of them insisted on doing this, Wu Chang did not have any objections and went along with it.
However, Huyan Wuhen hadn't expected this battle to happen.
