In the cauldron of the Spiritual Sect's Cauldron Mountain, steam was rising from the cauldron.
The Sect Master, Yan Zhoutian, appeared on the wall of the cauldron. He stood on the balcony and looked down at the flames suppressed by the cauldrons of various sizes.
He saw the cauldrons being opened, the pills being prepared, the disciples of the Spiritual Sect being busy, and the people from the Misty Pavilion coming and going to supervise and register.
Yan Zhoutian stood on the balcony with his hands behind his back, his face expressionless. The flames in the cauldron shone in his eyes, reflecting his mood.
This time, he didn't know where he would lead the Spiritual Sect.
Perhaps it was a path of no return. Perhaps he could lead the Spiritual Sect away from this kind of supervision, even if it was for himself. No matter what, it was worth the risk.
No matter what the final result was, he was certain of one thing, the Spiritual Sect would not perish. At least the disciples of the Spiritual Sect would not be exterminated.
The reason was simple. As long as there were still cultivators in the world, they would need the pills made by the Spiritual Sect, no matter who ruled the world.
If he failed, he would be the only one who would be consigned to eternal damnation.
… …
In a quiet area in the back mountain of the Tianxing Sect, Wen Hua strolled along the hollow corridor on the cliff outside the cave.
The scenery in front of him was very familiar, but it was as if he was seeing it for the first time. His eyes were filled with reluctance and he greedily wanted to memorize everything about the Tianxing Sect.
Seeing a group of disciples quietly cultivating in the mountain, he stopped and gazed at them from afar, somewhat lost in thought.
Each generation had its own matters. Logically speaking, he had already retired and the entire sect was working hard to support him. He shouldn't do anything that would betray the sect. Moreover, the current Sect Master was his son-in-law and also his disciple.
Because of his own selfish desires, it was very likely that he would lead the sect to eternal damnation. Was it really appropriate?
But he had no other choice.
He didn't know if Niu Youdao was exaggerating.
Niu Youdao said that they had all been exposed.
Niu Youdao said that after infiltrating Wu Chang, he discovered that Wu Chang had discovered the connection between Thatched Cottage Villa and those who shared the Immeasurable Fruit. Everyone was already under Wu Chang's secret control.
The reason why he didn't touch them now was because Wu Chang wanted to use them to get rid of Lan Daolin and Du Wuxu.
Now, Wu Chang didn't know that Niu Youdao already knew and was making use of him.
Niu Youdao decided to beat him at his own game. He would first lead a group of people to join hands with Wu Chang to get rid of Lan Daolin and Du Wuxu. After that, everyone would join hands to get rid of Wu Chang.
In other words, once Lan Daolin and Du Wuxu were dealt with, they would no longer have any value, and Wu Chang would act against them.
How did he get exposed all of a sudden?
The letter was personally delivered by Niu Youdao. He no longer dared to use the golden wings to send messages. The seriousness of the problem seemed to be as Niu Youdao had said.
This also meant that he did not dare to contact Niu Youdao to confirm what was going on.
He still didn't know if what Niu Youdao said was true or false, but he could only do as Niu Youdao said.
According to Niu Youdao's plan, once the time was up, he could verify it. As long as he caught the person sent by Wu Chang to intercept the letter, it would be confirmed.
Once he confirmed that he was exposed, he could only fight to the death with Wu Chang. If Wu Chang didn't die, the entire Sky Motion Sect would face destruction because of him!
"Master." His last disciple, Shan Xian 'er, bounced over happily and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?"
Wen Hua looked back at her and smiled. "Nothing, just taking a walk."
He then looked back at the entire Sky Motion Sect. The only thing he could comfort himself was that everything he did was not only for himself, but also for the future of the entire Sky Motion Sect. Once he succeeded, the entire Sky Motion Sect would reach another level, and everyone would have to thank him.
…
At the seaside of the Medicine Valley, while Guo Man was searching for seafood beside the waves and rocks, the strange fish transformed by the demon cultivator swam to her feet again, spat out the letter in its mouth, and quickly disappeared again.
She quietly grabbed the wax ball and the secret letter in her hand, continued to search for seafood for a while, and then left.
She had been maintaining a secret contact with the Thatched Cottage. Even when Yan Baoru came back and brought back a direct contact with the Thatched Cottage, Guo Man had been maintaining a secret contact.
Wu Chang had the secret contact with Yan Baoru, but not the secret contact with Guo Man.
…
In the secret room of the Thatched Cottage, Yun Ji quickly came to Niu Youdao's side and reported, "Kun Linshu, Ao Feng, and Wang Zun have arrived and met with Yuan Cong in the mountain outside the city."
Niu Youdao nodded silently, got up from behind the table, walked to the wall, raised his hand and tore off a map, then walked back to the table and spread it out, picked up a pen, and circled a place on the map. Putting down the pen, he folded the map and handed it to Yun Ji. "Give them the map and tell them to go to Jin first and wait for us here. Tell them that if they have any questions, I will answer them when I see them. "
Yun Ji was a little surprised. "Not going together?"
Niu Youdao said, "It will be too conspicuous if there are too many people, let's split up. We still have to go to other places first, you will know when we get back. "
Yun Ji did not say anything more, turned around and went to carry out the task.
When she returned from outside the city, she found that Lv Wushuang and Niu Youdao were already standing together waiting for her.
After a while, Yuan Gang, who carried the Three Howling Saber on his back, came and reported, "Everything has been arranged, Yuan Fang will carry out the task when the time comes."
Niu Youdao grunted, then said to Yun Ji, "Open the passage to the Prince's Mansion, the Princess and the others should already be waiting for us."
Princess? Yun Ji was a little puzzled, but she still did as she was told. She took the lead and walked out of the secret room, walking along a tunnel to the end. She pressed her palm on the mud wall, and the mud melted to make a path.
The group passed through and arrived at the secret room under the Prince's Mansion.
Beside a few lamps, Silver was eating. Lan Ruoting and Shang Shuqing, who were sitting quietly and waiting, heard the footsteps and immediately stood up.
When they saw Niu Youdao and the others, the two immediately stood up and bowed. "Daoye."
Silver, who was chewing on something, turned around and smiled sweetly. "Dao Dao."
Niu Youdao smiled back, then said to Lan Ruoting, "Mister Lan, is everything ready?"
Lan Ruoting said, "Daoye, don't worry, everything has been prepared according to your instructions, there won't be any problems."
Niu Youdao nodded. "Good, you carry out the plan here."
"Yes!" Lan Ruoting cupped his hands and accepted the order.
Niu Youdao turned to look at Shang Shuqing. "Then let's go." He then waved at Silver, "Silver, let's go."
"Where are we going?" Silver, who was hugging the food box, stood up with a curious expression.
"You'll know when we get there." Niu Youdao stepped forward and pulled her arm away. Seeing that Shang Shuqing was also accompanying them, Silver finally gave up struggling and ate as they walked.
Yun Ji led the way, and a hole appeared out of nowhere in the wall, swallowing them whole.
Lan Ruoting cupped his hands and sent them off. He only let go after seeing the mud wall merge with the wall. He sighed and muttered something …
When they saw the sky again, they were already deep in the mountains. Silver was chewing on something and looking around.
Yun Ji and Yuan Gang shook their finger bells. Not long after, two flying mounts flew over from the back of the mountain and swooped down.
Niu Youdao grabbed Silver and Yuan Gang's arms and jumped on one, while Yun Ji grabbed Shang Shuqing and Lu Wushuang's arms and jumped on the other.
The two flying mounts carried them and soared into the sky …
The distance between Cangwu County and South Prefecture City was not close, but for flying mounts, it was not considered far within the borders of a prefecture.
When they saw King Ning's courtyard outside Cangwu County from the sky, Niu Youdao pointed at a spot in the mountains, and the two flying mounts swooped down into the valley.
As they jumped down and looked around, a person jumped out of the forest. It was none other than Zhao Xiongge.
After greeting each other, Niu Youdao did not say much. He got Yuan Gang to stay at the same spot and led the group to their usual spot.
At this moment, Yun Ji had a rough idea of why they were here. The place they stopped at was the place she and Niu Youdao had been to the last time. She could not help but turn back to look at Shang Shuqing.
Under Niu Youdao's signal, Yun Ji invoked her arts and led the group to break through the ground, directly arriving at the eerie underground river.
In the distance, they could hear the roar of the underground river waterfall. Zhao Xiongge released the Moon Butterfly to illuminate the area and asked suspiciously, "Niu Youdao, why did you bring us here?"
Shang Shuqing looked left and right. She knew where this place was. Wasn't this the secret passage under King Ning's courtyard?
Niu Youdao explained, "Your Senior Brother Dongguo's secret plan is here."
"What?" Zhao Xiongge understood immediately. He suddenly turned back, his face full of disbelief, "Are you sure?"
Secret plan? Lu Wushuang's eyes flickered. She did not know what he was referring to, but since they came here so stealthily, it must be something important.
Shang Shuqing also did not know what he was referring to, but he understood that he was referring to the Shangqing Sect's Dongguo Haoran.
Yun Ji, on the other hand, understood that this Zhao Xiongge was also an insider.
Niu Youdao: "I've confirmed it. I've already gone to the sealed area to take a look." He glanced at Shang Shuqing.
Zhao Xiongge's gaze fell on Shang Shuqing's face. He understood now. No wonder he brought this woman.
Niu Youdao: "I'll leave these two women to you. You must protect them well and wait for my return. If there are no accidents, we should be able to return within five days. If we don't come back, I won't care about what happens after we die. I'll leave the things in the sealed area to you. "
He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Wushuang. "She knows a lot of the contact information of my hidden forces. She's also very smart. You can discuss it."
"When the time comes, Jia Wuqun will also be in the hands of the Shangqing Sect. You can find Jia Wuqun. There's also Shao Pingbo in the Jin Nation. I haven't let him be exposed. I've left him with you as a backup. As long as Jia Wuqun and Shao Pingbo are in our hands, one in the open and the other in the dark, with their brains, once they have enough information, they won't be any worse than me. In addition, with her knowledge and knowledge, as well as the sealed artifact left by that old man Dongguo, you might have a chance to turn the tables. "
And this was the reason why he brought Lu Wushuang along. There were some things that couldn't be solved by force alone.
He had made preparations for the possibility that he might not come back.
The setting and restrictions on Jia Wuqun earlier was to force Jia Wuqun to join the Shangqing Sect in the future. It was the same for the setting and restrictions on Shao Pingbo. He had a far-reaching purpose in letting Lu Wushuang come into contact with the various aspects of the Thatched Cottage Villa. It was all to prepare for the possibility that something unexpected would happen.
He had made all kinds of arrangements in advance to leave a suitable team for Zhao Xiongge, paving the way for future generations.
No matter what happened in the past, Niu Youdao hadn't forgotten that he was a disciple of the Shangqing Sect. Today, he handed over the information to Zhao Xiongge in order to leave a way out for the Shanghai Sect!
Letting Zhao Xiongge arrange for the Shanghai Sect to make arrangements for Jia Wuqun's hiding place was not only to protect the Shanghai Sect, but also to help Zhao Xiongge find the whereabouts of the Shangqing Sect.
He, Niu Youdao, had arranged everything. Even if he was doomed to eternal damnation, he had nothing to worry about.
Underground, including the dead Dongguo Haoran, there were two generations of the Shangqing Sect that had fought and sacrificed for it.
