Shang and Lan didn't understand what he was trying to say. People who didn't like to talk would occasionally pop up a sentence or two. It was understandable if it was concise, but it was strange.
Both of them looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Bai Yao added, "It's not just me. To be exact, everyone ranked 267th and below in the Alchemy Ranking rose one rank, and one more person entered the Alchemy Ranking."
Lan Ruoting was confused, "Does it have anything to do with us?"
Bai Yao said, "The person ranked 267th is Zhuo Chao. He was killed by Niu Youdao!"
"Hiss!" Shang and Lan sucked in a breath of cold air. Although they weren't cultivators, they still paid attention to the Alchemy Ranking. Who didn't want to recruit someone on the Alchemy Ranking for their own use?
Therefore, the two of them knew what it meant to be ranked in the 200s on the Alchemy Ranking. That person was a top-notch expert, and Bai Yao was only ranked in the 600s.
Shang Chaozong said in disbelief, "Daoye can kill an expert ranked in the 200s? That doesn't seem possible! Is it a misunderstanding? "
Bai Yao said, "Under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible, but even the most powerful cultivator can't resist schemes. Niu Youdao seems to be good at this."
Shang and Lan looked at each other. They didn't deny this point. To put it nicely, Daoye's methods were indeed brilliant, but to put it bluntly, it was just a scheme!
Seeing that Bai Yao barged into the Heroic Martial Hall just to talk about this, Shang Chaozong asked, "Is this a big deal?"
Bai Yao said, "It's not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either. It's not because it's normal for people to die on the Alchemy Ranking, and it's not strange for someone to be removed from it. It's not because Zhuo Chao's death was abnormal. Under normal circumstances, the person who defeated the other person would replace the other person's rank. However, Niu Youdao might not be qualified to enter the Alchemy Ranking due to his cultivation. Therefore, the rankings of many people behind him rose collectively. "
Both Shang and Lan broke out in a cold sweat. What he said had indeed affected quite a number of people. The Pill Roll of Honor had actually changed the rankings of more than five hundred experts because of Daoye. Should these people thank Daoye or what?
It actually affected hundreds of experts on the Elixir Rankings. This matter …
Lan Ruoting asked, "Has this happened before?"
Bai Yao: "There was once, but it's different from this time. The Alchemy Ranking has been established for a long time, but it's not short either. The last time it happened was when someone passed away due to the limit of their lifespan! More importantly, Niu Youdao is not a nobody. He was already famous for killing Yan's envoy. This time, he is famous again! "
Shang Chaozong broke out in cold sweat for Niu Youdao and felt a little guilty for Niu Youdao: "Could this be a mistake?"
Bai Yao: "The rankings on the Elixir Rankings might not be true because many people have never fought against each other before. However, the Ice and Snow Pavilion has never made a mistake in adjusting the rankings. They must have verified it before announcing it to all the cultivators in the world! They also wouldn't point out that the one who killed Zhuo Chao was Niu Youdao. The Ice and Snow Pavilion still has this bit of credibility. "
Shang and Lan looked at each other in dismay. In this case, it was indeed Daoye's doing.
Lan Ruoting asked, "Venerable One, why are you here to talk about this matter?"
Bai Yao: "Purchasing warhorses is not a small matter. How could Niu Youdao still have the mood to make such a big commotion on the road? This matter alarmed the sect, and they ordered me to inquire about the details. I want to know what exactly is going on. From the looks of the Prince and Mister Lan, it seems that they still don't know what is going on. The sect is waiting for my reply. Can I trouble you to ask the three sects? They sent people to follow Niu Youdao and should know more or less the inside story. "
Since such a thing had happened, the two of them also wanted to know what exactly was going on, so they naturally agreed.
After some preparation, the two of them led Bai Yao out of the Prefectural Governor's Mansion. A group of people hurried out of the city under the protection of the warhorses and went straight to the mountains outside the city.
The people in the mountains naturally came to welcome them after hearing the news. Shang Shuqing happened to be nearby and came to greet them first. He was somewhat surprised, "Brother, what's the matter?"
Shang Chaozong and the others also rarely came here. First of all, he was busy on his own side, so there was no need for him to worry here. Second of all, this was Niu Youdao's territory, a place where cultivators gathered. There was no need for him to interfere.
Therefore, she knew that her brother would not usually come here for no reason. There must be something when he came.
"Something happened on Daoye's side …" Shang Chaozong roughly explained the situation to her.
Shang Shuqing listened blankly. Even Shang Chaozong himself did not know what was going on, so naturally, she was even more confused.
After the three sect leaders, Fei Changliu, Xia Hua, and Zheng Jiuxiao, arrived, they originally wanted to invite Shang Chaozong into the mountains to have a seat. However, the places where the sects were located were indeed not very convenient to walk, so Shang Chaozong said that it would be fine to have a seat in the pavilion at the side.
Soon, they returned to the main topic. They asked about the matter that Bai Yao mentioned and briefly explained the situation. Finally, Shang Chaozong asked, "Three sect leaders, do you know what exactly is going on?"
The three of them were slightly silent. They had naturally noticed the change in the Pill List. The manpower that the three sects had stationed in places like Star picking City was not just for show, so they were also aware of the internal reasons. They were also puzzled by this matter. This matter was still considered confidential, so how did the Ice and Snow Pavilion know the news so quickly and make changes to the Pill List? Especially the reason why the Pill List was changed. Why did it clearly state that Niu Youdao killed Zhuo Chao?
Now, the three sects were a little suspicious. Were there spies from the Ice and Snow Pavilion in the three sects? Or did something go wrong at some point?
However, they could only suspect and did not dare to investigate. What was the point of investigating the spies from the Ice and Snow Pavilion?
Although the Ice and Snow Pavilion had its own rules and would not interfere in some matters easily to make everyone feel at ease, it did not mean that they would never interfere. Who would feel comfortable thinking that there might be spies from the outside? Yet, there was nothing they could do!
"Before Niu Youdao set out, he had already predicted this and secretly arranged for some people from the three sects to be stationed there. As a result, when he was at the Boundless Pavilion, there was indeed someone who made a move …"
Xia Hua briefly explained the situation. By now, those secret people had already publicly accompanied Niu Youdao, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
However, she did not mention the matter of the Waning Moon Pavilion and the two survivors. In this regard, Niu Youdao had requested to keep it a secret because Niu Youdao did not want the Waning Moon Pavilion to know that there were survivors in his hands.
Everyone was shocked to hear the whole story. Even Bai Yao, who was listening at the side, had a solemn expression. Someone actually pretended to be the shopkeeper of the Immortal Retaining Sect to lure and kill Niu Youdao, and even sent an expert like Zhuo Chao to do it. They really wanted to put Niu Youdao to death!
Xia Hua gave a general summary of the story and left out some details. Lan Ruoting asked the key question, "Was Zhuo Chao killed by the combined forces of the three sects or by Daoye?"
Xia Hua smiled bitterly and said, "In the Great Desert Sand, there was a fierce battle. Zhuo Chao pursued Niu Youdao relentlessly, bent on killing Niu Youdao. He did not care about the people from the three sects at all. Instead, the people from the three sects were dealing with his subordinates. By the time the people from the three sects dealt with his subordinates, Zhuo Chao and Niu Youdao had already tangled to the end. Zhuo Chao had already been seriously injured by Niu Youdao. Although Zhuo Chao was seriously injured, the disciples from the three sects were unable to get close to him. With just a single strike, he injured more than ten Golden Core experts from the three sects and killed two of our disciples on the spot! At the crucial moment, it was Niu Youdao who struck a decisive blow and killed him with a single strike. Zhuo Chao knelt before Niu Youdao and died at Niu Youdao's feet! "
Zheng Jiuxiao stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "From the beginning to the end, the disciples from the three sects did not even have a chance to fight Zhuo Chao, let alone kill him. The one who injured Zhuo Chao was Niu Youdao, and the one who killed him with a single strike was also Niu Youdao. Zhuo Chao's death has nothing to do with the three sects. It was indeed Niu Youdao who did it. That's the gist of the situation."
Even though it was just a brief explanation, it caused everyone to fall silent. Zhuo Chao, who was seriously injured, was still able to kill so many experts from the three sects with a single strike. It was easy to imagine how terrifying his strength was.
Even though the scene was not as tragic as they had imagined, the scene in their minds was incomparably tragic. The bloody battle in the boundless desert, and Niu Youdao being pursued by an expert like Zhuo Chao!
Bai Yao broke the silence, "Based on Niu Youdao's strength, how could he injure Zhuo Chao so severely? How could he kill Zhuo Chao? I don't believe it! Are you guys hiding something? "
He did not believe that Niu Youdao could kill Zhuo Chao in a one-on-one duel? What a joke! Even if he was up against Zhuo Chao, he could only run for his life. How could Niu Youdao do it?
Fei Changliu said, "To be honest, we don't believe it either, and we also suspect that there's something going on. At that time, Zhuo Chao was pursuing Niu Youdao, and the two of them fought from the surface of the desert to the depths of the ground. Both of them burrowed into the ground, and we don't know what happened underground. We only know that when the two of them burrowed out, Zhuo Chao was already seriously injured. If Niu Youdao didn't tell us, we wouldn't be able to figure it out! However, Niu Youdao was also injured by Zhuo Chao. "
"Is Daoye alright?"
The moment they heard that Niu Youdao was injured by Zhuo Chao, Shang Chaozong, Lan Ruoting, and Shang Shuqing exclaimed in unison. In their imagination, how bad would it be for an expert like Zhuo Chao to injure him?
Fei Changliu shook his head, "It's just a light injury, nothing serious. Now that Niu Youdao has left the Boundless Pavilion, I'm afraid he's already deep into the Qi Kingdom."
Shang Shuqing's tone was sonorous, "Didn't you guys send people to protect Daoye? Why didn't you guys stop Zhuo Chao, but allowed Daoye to engage in a bloody battle with an expert like Zhuo Chao? "She was just short of saying that you guys didn't fulfill your responsibilities.
After hearing about the situation of the pursuit, she could imagine how dangerous Niu Youdao's situation was. Her nose turned sour.
When she heard that Niu Youdao was injured, she almost burst into tears, but she held it in with great difficulty. Her eyes reddened.
Zhuo Chao wasn't willing to mingle with them, but she dragged him into this mess.
There was no need to talk about what had happened in the past, but this time, he had once again come out of the mountains for the sake of the siblings. Not only that, he had encountered such a huge danger as soon as he came out of the mountains. He had actually encountered such a terrifying expert who was hunting him down.
Zhuo Chao was already like this before he even reached the Qi Kingdom. The danger he faced in the future was unimaginable!
Zhuo Chao was risking his life for them again!
The School of Heavenly Jade could be said to be the greatest reliance of the siblings. But if even the School of Heavenly Jade could not handle the matter, why would they send Niu Youdao, whose strength was far inferior to the School of Heavenly Jade, to risk his life? Niu Youdao was alone and weak. Wasn't this sending him to his death?
Why would they let Niu Youdao, who was so weak, carry such a heavy burden for them?
Even the School of Heavenly Jade was too embarrassed to ask for it!
She was filled with guilt and endless self-blame. It was unbearable!
Shang Chaozong and Lan Ruoting lowered their heads in silence. Their expressions were solemn!
