Cui Yuan's cheeks tightened as he watched the two of them leave. His heart was filled with helplessness. The other party's words were clear, but he had no choice but to obey.
Yuan Fang, who had left with Niu Youdao, turned back to look at him and chuckled.
After following Daoye, Yuan Fang increasingly realized that his previous way of thinking was wrong. He used to think that those with profound transcendence energy were the most powerful, but now he gradually understood that the most powerful thing about a person was not their cultivation level, but their brains. They could destroy others without leaving a trace.
There were many people here with higher cultivation levels than Daoye, but they all obeyed Daoye's orders.
He now understood why Daoye had to kill Shao Pingbo, a mortal, and also why Shao Pingbo was unwilling to let Daoye, a cultivator, go.
After understanding all this, if he were in Shao Pingbo's shoes, he would not let Daoye go either. Otherwise, he would not be able to eat or sleep in peace.
More importantly, he realized that Daoye still had one thing that he did not reveal, and that was Daoye's cultivation level.
He had seen Daoye fight with his own eyes at Nanshan Temple. It was amazing!
He had seen Daoye fight with his own eyes outside Zhaixing City. He was fierce, valiant, and powerful. A group of people could not withstand more than a few moves from Daoye, and they were all defeated by Daoye alone.
Daoye was actually very good at fighting and killing, but Daoye was never good at it. Even Yuan Fang, who was by Daoye's side, could easily get the wrong idea after a long time.
Back at the thatched hut, a group of teenagers were carrying water or chopping firewood up the mountainside. Niu Youdao stopped and watched for a while, then asked, "Monkey hasn't returned yet?"
Yuan Fang said, "Not yet. So far, we've only sent a few dozen teenagers back one after another. They said that they'll find work for them, but they must also be fed well. They said that they'll help them nourish their bodies." He scratched his bald head. "Daoye, what's the monkey trying to do?"
Niu Youdao said calmly, "Everyone has their own inner self, just like you, the demon of Nanshan Temple. Actually, I envy all of you."
"Envious of us?" Yuan Fang was stunned, not knowing what to say.
Niu Youdao did not give him an answer. He turned around and left …
In the Northern Province's Provincial Governor's Manor, Shao Pingbo, who was dressed in white and had a black cape, strode out of the manor. A group of people at the entrance greeted him.
He leapt onto the horse and galloped along the street, standing out from the crowd of guards.
Many girls on the streets were either staring at him with sparkling eyes or secretly sizing him up with lustful eyes. There were even young girls who bit their lips and peeped through the cracks in the windows.
He was young, promising, handsome, elegant, and had great power. He was born into a rich and powerful family. Most importantly, it was said that he was still single. Which girl wouldn't like such a man?
Every time Shao Pingbo appeared on the streets of the prefectural city, he would inevitably attract the attention of many girls.
Every time he hosted a banquet, many young ladies from wealthy families would try to get close to him or think of ways to attract his attention.
However, none of them could move Shao Pingbo's heart. To be exact, he had even greater ambitions and lofty aspirations. He did not lack women and would not place his thoughts on women.
The more he refused to marry, the more women would toss and turn restlessly for him.
Those women did not know that they had only seen the glorious side of him. They had never seen his painstaking efforts, his tiredness, his endless exhaustion.
After returning to Lingbo Mansion and having dinner, Shao Pingbo took a stroll in the garden. He asked, "How long has Pu Yunfang been in Jinzhou?"
Shao San, who was accompanying him, replied, "It's been more than half a month."
Shao Pingbo asked, "Is there still no news from Hai Ruyue?"
"From the news from her side, there is no news." Shao Sansheng shook his head and asked tentatively, "Do you want to try recommending yourself?"
Shao Pingbo replied, "There is no need for that. Recommending yourself will only alert the enemy. Hai Ruyue's reaction is already very abnormal. It seems that the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit is quite effective."
He stopped walking and tilted his head to look at Shao Sansheng. He said word by word, "It's about time. We can close the net. Let's do it!"
Niu Youdao thought that he was watching the fire from the dark while Shao Pingbo was in the light.
In Shao Pingbo's eyes, Niu Youdao was in the light while he was in the dark, observing the fire and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng nodded.
On the Great Snowy Mountain, the world was gloomy and the wind and snow were howling.
In a restaurant, it was a good time to warm up a pot of wine when it was snowing heavily.
A table of people were discussing when the wind and snow would stop. A short-bearded man at the table next to them smiled meaningfully and said, "Although the wind and snow are heavy, there is a good show to watch."
Everyone at the table turned around and asked, "Friend, there is a hidden meaning in your words. What is the good show to watch?"
The short-bearded man turned around and asked, "Friend, don't you know about the huge avalanche on the mountain behind us?"
The person who asked the question replied, "Does the good show have anything to do with the avalanche?"
The short-bearded man replied, "Friend, don't you know what is on that mountain?"
Someone interrupted, "Are you talking about the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit?"
There were two people at a table in the corner. They tilted their heads and looked in their direction. They turned around to look at each other and then looked back again.
The short-bearded man smiled and said, "That meteorite fell in a strange way. It just happened to fall where the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit grows. I heard that a meteorite fell in Jinzhou of Zhao earlier as well. However, the governor of Jinzhou was suffering from a strange disease and needed the Red Sun Vermillion Fruit to cure him. Just before the avalanche, someone who has a close relationship with Jinzhou came to the Ice and Snow Pavilion. After that, the Ice and Snow Pavilion had an avalanche because of the meteorite. This is a little interesting. Isn't there a good show to watch? "
As soon as he said this, some people seemed to be deep in thought while others whispered to each other and asked about something.
The person at the table next to them asked curiously, "Friend, who is the person who has a close relationship with Jinzhou and came to the Ice and Snow Pavilion?"
"It's none of our business. We can just watch the show. If we speak too much, we will make mistakes. Why should we find trouble for ourselves?" The short-bearded man smiled mysteriously and humbly. He stood up and left after throwing money on the table.
The two people at the table in the corner also stood up and quietly followed him out.
After exiting the restaurant, the short-bearded man hurriedly left the Grand Canyon.
He had already spread the news. According to the orders from above, he would leave immediately after spreading the news.
However, not long after he sped through the wind and snow, two figures flew past him and landed on the ground. They blocked his way and stared at him coldly in the wind and snow.
The short-bearded man was shocked and quickly turned around. He found two more people flying towards him, cutting off his path of retreat.
In the wind and snow, an intense fight broke out after a while. Under the joint attack of the four people, the short-bearded man lost an arm and fell to the snow. He covered his chest with one hand as he choked on blood.
A person flashed over and kicked him towards the person on the other side. The latter grabbed the short-bearded man and quickly restrained him.
A black cloth bag covered the short-bearded man's head.
The four people carried the short-bearded man and left quickly. In the wind and snow, they returned to the Grand Canyon and went straight to the Immortal Retaining Sect's shop.
The shopkeeper behind the counter, Xiao Tie, stood up and frowned as he looked at the black cloth bag that the four people carried in. It was obvious that there was a person inside.
Xiao Tie asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
One of the four people said, "Martial Uncle, the sect's divine foresight was right. Someone really wanted to use the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit to cause trouble here. We did as we were told and caught one."
Xiao Tie immediately walked out of the counter and personally pulled off the black cloth bag, revealing the short-bearded man who was struggling at death's door. He looked carefully but didn't recognize him.
At this moment, a few more Immortal Retaining Sect disciples came in from outside. They were also carrying a black cloth bag.
The person who spoke first snorted, "Looks like we caught another one."
Xiao Tie went forward and pulled off the black cloth bag again. He still didn't recognize the person. He waved his hand towards the back of the hall and sneered, "Interrogate them separately. Pry open their mouths."
Several people immediately carried two injured people into the hall … …
In the Ice and Snow Pavilion, although the wind and snow were strong, the snowflakes melted as soon as they touched the ground.
Chu Anlou quickly walked over and entered a pavilion. He cupped his hands towards Han Bing, who was slowly sipping his tea, and said, "Head Steward."
Han Bing said indifferently, "Have you found the source of the news?"
Now that everyone in the Ice and Snow Pavilion was talking about the avalanche and the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit, it was impossible that no one had heard of it.
Chu Anlou replied, "We've caught some people. They all said that they heard it through the grapevine. The person who spread the news must have left immediately after releasing the news and not waiting for a response. This matter was obviously carefully planned and they came prepared."
He was in charge of the Rainbow Inn, which was equivalent to being in charge of miscellaneous matters in the Grand Canyon.
Han Bing laughed, "The wind is suddenly blowing. It looks like someone wants to cause trouble. They're quite bold! Who do you think this matter is aimed at? "
Chu Anlou muttered, "Judging from the rumors, it's either aimed at Jinzhou or … at Niu Youdao."
"Rumors?" Han Bing muttered to himself and snorted coldly, "There must be a reason for everything. Why does it sound somewhat reasonable to me? Do you think this matter was done by Jinzhou or Niu Youdao? "
Chu Anlou was startled and asked, "Head Steward, could it be that something really happened to the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit?"
He still didn't know the specific situation at the top of the mountain. He ran the inn and was in charge of the matters in the Grand Canyon. The matters at the back of the mountain had nothing to do with him. He hadn't been informed about the avalanche and hadn't participated in the news of the destruction of the Red Sun Vermilion Fruit Tree, so he didn't know about it.
Han Bing nodded slightly.
Chu Anlou immediately cursed Niu Youdao's eighteen generations of ancestors. He regretted accepting the money. When he accepted the money, he thought that the matter was under his control. He thought that Niu Youdao wouldn't be able to do anything in his hands and nothing would happen to him. Who knew that something like this would be involved.
"Niu Youdao and Jinzhou can't possibly be so bold, right?" Chu Anlou replied hesitantly, but he wasn't sure. That bastard was very bold. He dared to use the Ice and Snow Pavilion in front of him. What else would he not dare to do? Perhaps it really was possible.
He was now regretting everything and wanted to slap himself twice. But regret was useless. If it was really Niu Youdao who did it, it was premeditated and clearly not afraid of him acting rashly. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he had a backup plan. If he dared to act rashly, he would definitely be dragged into the water.
Han Bing said calmly and Slowly, "There's no smoke without fire. It seems that this old one will have to personally make a trip to Jinzhou."
Damn you! Chu Anlou appeared to be a yes-man on the surface, but he was cursing Niu Youdao in his heart.
He was also secretly praying that it was not that bastard's doing. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would be tricked to death …
In Qingshan County, the sun was shining brightly. Black Peony stood at the door of the thatched hut and reported, "Daoye, Sect Leader Fei is here."
