"During the war in Nanzhou, Niu Youdao allowed the Heavenly Jade School to oppress Shang Chaozong, and allowed them to force Shang Chaozong into a desperate situation. He killed two birds with one stone. Not only did he borrow the power of the Heavenly Jade School to take over Nanzhou, but he also allowed the Heavenly Jade School to push the Shang Department's forces into his arms.
"Think about it, Shang Chaozong was forced into a desperate situation and almost lost his life. He even killed two of Peng Youzai's grandsons, so a great grudge was formed. Peng Youzai said that it was useless to let it go. Would Shang Chaozong believe him? Especially when the Heavenly Jade School divided the Shang Department's forces and attempted to disband them, it affected the interests of everyone in the Shang Department. Who among the Shang Department's forces wouldn't be terrified? It could be said that no one in the Shang Department would ever trust the Heavenly Jade School again. They were only forced to submit temporarily.
"My Shao Family occupied the Northern Province and became a traitor, falling into all kinds of disadvantageous circumstances. Shang Chaozong was clearly a traitor who colluded with the forces of another country, but he was conferred a title by the Yan Imperial Court. They were both traitors, but Shang Chaozong's rebellion was justified, and he became the rightful Prefecture Overseer of the Southern Province! From the information we received afterwards, this title was obtained by Niu Youdao on behalf of Shang Chaozong. The Yan Imperial Court brought disgrace upon themselves, and they had to suffer in silence.
"In this contest, Niu Youdao used a small advantage to win a big one. Not only did he turn the tide and save the Shang Department from disaster, he even pushed Shang Chaozong to the rightful position of Nanzhou's Provincial Governor. I'm afraid the Shang Department is on the verge of shedding tears of gratitude. Compared to the conduct of the Heavenly Jade School, the Heavenly Jade School bullies others with force, while Niu Youdao subdues people with virtue. The Heavenly Jade School has lost the support of the people in Nanzhou, but Niu Youdao has taken advantage of the situation to reap the rewards.
"After this battle, the general situation of South Province is already in the hands of Niu Youdao. The Heavenly Jade Gate is relying on their strength to maintain the situation. Once the situation changes, all Niu Youdao needs to do is raise his arm and rally the hearts of the people, and the Heavenly Jade Gate will lose without a doubt!"
"Now that Niu Youdao has firmly tied the Shang faction to his side, no one can compare to his influence over the Shang faction. In the eyes of the Shang faction, the Heavenly Jade Gate has become their biggest threat, and Niu Youdao is their life and death. Within the Nanzhou under the Heavenly Jade Gate's control, he is the only one who can compete with the Heavenly Jade Gate, protect their safety, and safeguard their interests. Niu Youdao has proven this point with his actions. "
"If the Heavenly Jade Gate makes a move against Niu Youdao, in the eyes of the Shang faction, it will be seen as a move against them, which will force the Shang faction to separate from the Nanzhou. Even if the Heavenly Jade Gate eliminates Shang Chaozong, it will be useless. Niu Youdao can rely on his influence and the hearts of the people in Nanzhou to command the Shang faction to rebel against the Heavenly Jade Gate. "
"After the war in Nanzhou, the Heavenly Jade Gate was in a favorable situation, both internally and externally, but due to Niu Youdao's obstruction, they missed the best opportunity to destroy the Shang faction. Now that the Shang faction has completely taken control of Nanzhou, if they try to forcefully purge them, Nanzhou will certainly fall into chaos. The Heavenly Jade Gate is already holding back from taking action."
"It is precisely because of this foundation that Niu Youdao dared to jump out of Nanzhou without worry, because he knows that the Heavenly Jade Gate will no longer dare to act recklessly in Nanzhou. How can I sit back and watch as he accumulates his strength to defeat the Heavenly Jade Gate and take control of Nanzhou? "
After listening to Shao Pingbo's words, Shao Sansheng sighed in shock. "This Niu Youdao is truly terrifying!"
"I've already said that this person is dangerous! He was merely an abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect, but he was able to go from a stray dog to where he is today in just a few years. How could he be simple? In the early years, the Heavenly Jade Gate was too conceited and viewed him as an ant. They didn't recognize his true nature and failed to eliminate him in time. Instead, they were led by the nose by him. It's too late for regrets now! "
Shao Pingbo shook his head and sneered. "In the end, we still need to get rid of Niu Youdao. Once Niu Youdao is dead, we won't have to worry about Niu Youdao using his influence to gather the Shang faction's forces and create chaos. Then, we can quickly use Shang Chaozong to stabilize the people's hearts. Slowly, we can then gradually eliminate Shang Chaozong's influence. "
"Of course, we can't let the Shang faction think that Niu Youdao died at the hands of the Heavenly Jade Gate. Someone has to take the blame."
"Otherwise, based on the fact that Shang Chaozong dared to kill Peng Youzai's grandson in front of so many people, it's hard to say whether he will be appeased or not. Who knows, he might even die together. When the Shang faction found out that Niu Youdao was killed by the Heavenly Jade Gate and that Shang Chaozong was controlled by the Heavenly Jade Gate, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Jade Gate to not make a move against them … I've already stated the pros and cons in the letter I sent. As long as the Heavenly Jade Gate sees it, they will definitely send someone over! "
The Heavenly Jade Gate's Elder Chen Tingxiu had already arrived. When night fell, he led a group of people to the Myriad Beasts Gate.
The Myriad Beasts Gate's Elder Chou Shan, who was in charge of welcoming guests, personally came out to greet them.
To a certain extent, it could not be helped. The Myriad Beasts Gate did have a place in the Misty Pavilion, and it was true that the sect was powerful, but it mainly relied on financial resources. The Myriad Beasts Gate had always been suppressed by the High Heaven Pavilion, the Blood God Temple, and the Heaven Splitting Palace. They did not give the Myriad Beasts Gate the opportunity to expand their territory in their territory. Otherwise, if the Myriad Beasts Gate had more financial resources and influence, the three major sects would be in trouble.
Therefore, the Myriad Beasts Gate was more like a merchant in the cultivation world. They did not have any local power to balance the balance between them and other forces. It was not good for them to immerse themselves in business. It was also necessary for them to maintain a good relationship with other forces. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to do business.
The two of them greeted each other politely outside the gate.
Chen Tingxiu was quite moved to be personally welcomed by the Myriad Beasts Gate's Elder.
Although he was also a dignified Heavenly Jade Gate's Elder, he was not on the same level as the Myriad Beasts Gate's Elder.
In his opinion, the Myriad Beasts Gate's Elder had given him a lot of face. He could not help but sigh at the benefits of taking over the Southern Province. He felt that his status had changed completely.
Along the way, he borrowed the mounts from the various forces' relay stations. It was very smooth sailing. They even gave him face when they passed through the border.
Of course, the Heavenly Jade Gate had to return the favor. In the future, when they passed through the border, they could borrow the Southern Province relay station's mounts.
After accompanying Chen Tingxiu through the gate, Chou Shan asked again, "May I know why Brother Chen has come to visit our Sect Leader?"
Chen Tingxiu smiled and said, "How could I not pay a visit to the host when I passed through this place? Besides, I have long heard of your Sect Leader's elegance. I came to pay my respects."
Chou Shan laughed and said, "What a coincidence. The two leaders of the Southern Province's cultivation world actually chose to visit on the same day. How interesting."
Chen Tingxiu was stunned. "Brother Chou, what do you mean? Someone else from the Heavenly Jade Gate is here to visit? "
Chou Shan asked in return, "Niu Youdao? Isn't Niu Youdao one of the leaders of the Southern Province?"
'What kind of leader is Niu Youdao?' Chen Tingxiu cursed in his heart. No matter how well Niu Youdao was doing in the Southern Province, the Heavenly Jade Gate still had a sense of superiority. They looked down on him.
Of course, he didn't say it out loud, but it was enough to surprise him. "Niu Youdao is here at the Wan Shou Gate?"
The Heavenly Jade Sect had received Shao Pingbo's letter, which clearly stated that Niu Youdao was in Wanxiang City. When he arrived, he sent someone to investigate the inn where Niu Youdao was staying. However, he discovered that Niu Youdao had already checked out not long ago. This was the Wan Shou Gate's territory after all. They came to the Wan Shou Gate to find an excuse to ask the Wan Shou Gate for help. They didn't expect that Niu Youdao would come to the Wan Shou Gate after staying in the city for quite some time.
Chou Shan said, "Why? Brother Chen doesn't know?"
"Hehe, I'm surprised. Why did he come to the Wan Shou Gate? "
"He said he wanted to visit the Sect Leader, but the Sect Leader has been busy lately and couldn't find the time to meet him. Just now, I also heard that he wanted to visit the Sect Leader of the Xiao Yao Faction, Long Xiu, who is currently a guest in the Wan Shou Gate. I don't know what he wants, but if Brother Chen wants to know, I can ask someone to accompany you to see him. You can ask him face to face and you will know. "
Chen Tingxiu's eyes flashed, he quickly waved his hand and said, "No no no, I won't hide it from Brother Chen, this kid is too arrogant, he is young and full of vigor, he considers everyone beneath him. Normally, we don't get along well, we have a lot of arguments. It's better if we don't see each other."
Chou Shan thought for a while, he wasn't surprised. He had heard about the fight between Niu Youdao and the Heavenly Jade Gate for the right to speak in the Southern Prefecture. It was understandable that they didn't have a good relationship, but he didn't expect Chen Tingxiu to be so honest in front of an outsider from the Southern Prefecture. He laughed and said, "That's rude of me."
Chen Tingxiu suddenly stopped and said, "Brother Chou, I have a request."
Chou Shan stopped as well, he was in a difficult position. Who do you think you are? It wasn't good to agree, but it wasn't good to refuse. He could only say, "I'm all ears."
"Brother Chou, you know that Xiao Yao Palace is one of the mainstays of the Yan Realm. Niu Youdao doesn't get along with our Heavenly Jade Gate. When he meets Sect Master Long, I don't know what bad things he will say about us …"
Under the bright lights and dancing moon butterflies, Xi Haitang cupped his hands to send off the guests and had his disciples take them to rest.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The Illusion Realm's matter had indeed made him quite busy, and he had to attend to many social engagements. Xihaitang sighed.
At this moment, Chou Shan's figure flashed. After landing, he quickly walked over and cupped his hands. "Sect Master."
Xi Haitang said, "Didn't that Niu Youdao want to see me? Let him come. "
"Sect Master, there's another guest …" Chou Shan told him about Chen Tingxiu's arrival. "This Elder Chen heard that Niu Youdao is going to visit Long Xiu and asked me to stop him. He wants to meet Long Xiu first. I don't know what he's up to. And the disciple who came out from Long Xiu's place said that Long Xiu has agreed to meet Niu Youdao. I asked the disciple to delay informing Niu Youdao for now. I'm here to ask Sect Master to make a decision. "
Xi Haitang raised his eyebrows and snorted. "He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He came to Wan Shou Sect to fight for power. What does he think Wan Shou Sect is? I'm not interested in meeting them at the moment. I'll leave them hanging. "
Chou Shan said, "It's not a big deal to leave them hanging. But this Elder Chen has already made a request in front of me. It's not a big deal. If I don't agree, I'll offend him."
Xi Haitang said, "What do you think?"
Chou Shan said, "Anyway, Niu Youdao doesn't know about the situation. It's just a matter of meeting Long Xiu first and second. If Long Xiu doesn't want to see Niu Youdao after meeting Chen Tingxiu, it's not our problem."
Xi Haitang cast a sidelong glance at him. "You received some benefits from that Elder Chen, right? Are you speaking up for him?"
Chou Shan smiled bitterly and cupped his hands. "Of course not. With Tianyu Sect's background, what benefits do I care about? It's like this. It's his first time here and his first time asking for help. And he also said that in the future, if I, Chou Shan, have any problems in the Southern State, I can look for him. I just need to inform him and he will do his best. "
