"What are you thinking about?"
Wen Xinzhao walked to Du Yunsang's side and stood side by side with her as he casually asked.
Du Yunsang remained indifferent for a while. "The Butterfly Illusion Realm is not sealed. According to the ancestors of the Wu Dynasty, Li Ge's spiritual pet, the Holy Rakshasa, is in the Illusion Realm. Legend has it that the Holy Rakshasa can enter a cocoon and hibernate to maintain immortality. If the legend is true, the Illusion Realm cannot be sealed, which means that the door to the Illusion Realm is always open. Once the Holy Rakshasa appears, there will be another Nascent Soul expert in the world. The world will change drastically. "
Wen Xinzhao asked, "Are you really thinking about this? Are you thinking about that woman? "
Du Yunsang asked, "Is it interesting to talk about her in the past?"
Wen Xinzhao tilted his head and looked to the side. He wanted to mention that he had slapped Guan Fangyi to see his reaction, but he didn't say anything.
The couple didn't say anything and looked to each other.
When they were alone, they would often be silent and suddenly become speechless. It was like this in the past, and it might continue to be like this in the future …
In the courtyard under the moonlight, Chen Tingxiu paced back and forth. Sometimes she lowered her head, sometimes she looked up at the night sky, and occasionally she sighed.
If he wasn't wrong, Niu Youdao's intention was obvious. He wanted to leave Nanzhou and accumulate his strength before starting the second round of competition with the Heavenly Jade School. Now Long Xiu didn't see him, but met Niu Youdao and had a long talk. Why would the dignified School Master of Xiao Yao Palace need to have a long talk with a mere Niu Youdao? The more he thought about it, the more worried he became that Niu Youdao would rope in Long Xiu to deal with the Heavenly Jade School.
The Heavenly Jade School's plan was divided into two steps. He was here to carry out the first step, the plan to kill with a borrowed knife. He rushed here without stopping.
He rushed here in such a hurry to prepare for the second step of the plan. After all, he only knew that Niu Youdao was here, but nothing else.
The second step of the plan was carried out by one of the two Guardian Elders of the Heavenly Jade School. If the plan to kill with a borrowed knife failed, the top expert of the Heavenly Jade School would directly assassinate him with force.
It could only be an assassination. It had to be done quietly, so that Niu Youdao would disappear quietly. They couldn't do it openly.
Once they made their move, they had to be ruthless. They couldn't let any of the people around Niu Youdao escape, and they couldn't let anyone leak the news. Otherwise, even if they killed Niu Youdao, once the news spread to the Southern Province, the Southern Province would be in chaos, giving the Yan Imperial Court a chance to recover the Southern Province.
It was precisely because of this that they didn't hesitate to send out the sect's guardian experts that didn't easily reveal themselves. Their objective was naturally to ensure that they would succeed in a single strike.
However, no one knew exactly how many people were by Niu Youdao's side, both in the open and in the dark. They couldn't guarantee that the news wouldn't leak out, so assassinations were risky. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they wouldn't take the risk.
Chen Tingxiu came here to carry out the first step of the plan, but he found out that Niu Youdao was in the Wan Shou Sect, so it was hard for him to make a move. Moreover, Niu Youdao seemed to be one step ahead of him. How could he just sit and watch?
Therefore, he wanted to contact the Heavenly Fire Order, hoping to use the conflict between the Heavenly Fire Order and Niu Youdao to intensify the conflict between them. However, the Heavenly Fire Order didn't want to see him at all.
He was now waiting for news, waiting for the disciples to be sent out.
Almost all of the disciples who came with Niu Youdao had been sent out to the Wan Shou Sect, he had asked the disciples to find a way to contact the people they knew in the Wan Shou Sect, even if they were the lowest ranked disciples of the Wan Shou Sect, they wanted to know what Niu Youdao was up to.
Chou Shan had already done his part and wouldn't help him anymore. This place was also within the Wan Shou Sect, so Chen Tingxiu couldn't just walk around and ask around. He could only think of ways to ask the disciples of the Wan Shou Sect for help …
Niu Youdao was also pacing back and forth in the courtyard under the moonlight. His figure was lonely and cold.
Yuan Fang, Uncle Chen and Xu Laoliu weren't people he could talk to. Guan Fangyi hid in her room and didn't come out.
In the end, Yuan Gang walked out and stood quietly at the side. He said, "You seem to be thinking too much today."
Niu Youdao stopped in front of him and looked up at the moon. "Chen Tingxiu is here."
Yuan Gang said, "Does he still dare to cause trouble in the Wan Shou Sect?"
Niu Youdao said, "I'm afraid that the Heavenly Jade Sect is going to kill me." At the Wanxiang City, his true identity was exposed by the Shang Qing Sect's people. He was already worried. Chen Tingxiu's sudden arrival confirmed his worries.
Yuan Gang said, "Aren't they afraid of causing chaos in the Southern Province?"
Niu Youdao said, "Even if they don't dare to do it in the open, they can do it in the dark. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but it's hard to guard against an arrow in the dark! The problem is that I don't want the Southern Province to fall into chaos unless it's absolutely necessary. If we really fall out with them, the lives of Shang Chaozong and the others are in the hands of the Heavenly Jade Sect. From the time we were exposed in Wan Xiang City to the time when the Heavenly Jade Sect received the news and Chen Tingxiu rushed over, Shao Pingbo has probably colluded with the Heavenly Jade Sect. The Heavenly Jade Sect doesn't understand his methods at all. I'm afraid they're going to be used by him this time. "
Yuan Gang said, "If Shao Pingbo is really involved, is there still a need to use him? A common enemy is enough to bring them together. "
Niu Youdao said, "Their common ground is that they both want to kill me. He doesn't care if the Southern Province will fall into chaos. If the Heavenly Jade Sect can kill me, then it's fine. If they can't, then they can instigate chaos in the Southern Province. They can also make it difficult for me to establish a foothold in the Southern Province. As long as the Heavenly Jade Sect makes a move and starts a fight with me, he can achieve his goal either way. "
"Using the opportunity to deal with a common enemy, we cooperated once and won the Heavenly Jade Sect's trust. As long as I don't fall in the Southern Province, the Heavenly Jade Sect won't give up. That bastard's hand really has reached into the Southern Province. With the Heavenly Jade Sect at his disposal, he doesn't need to spend too much resources or energy. He only needs to fan the flames and I'll be exhausted. "
Yuan Gang said, "Why don't we try explaining to the Heavenly Jade Sect? When the sandpiper and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Why bother?"
Niu Youdao said, "Is there any use in my explanation? Can the Heavenly Jade Sect trust me? Those guys haven't seen Shao Pingbo's capabilities and think they're high and mighty cultivators. I'm afraid they won't take Shao Pingbo seriously. If I tell them this, they'll think I'm afraid. Shao Pingbo is far away in the Northern Province, so they won't take him seriously. "
Slowly, Yuan Gang said, "You want to use the Great Zen Mountain this time, and he wants to use the Heavenly Jade Sect this time. We've run into each other again."
Niu Youdao said, "Let's see who can seize the initiative. If I can't defeat him first, he'll make me suffer the consequences."
Yuan Gang said, "Daoye, your weakness is in the Southern Province, so you don't want the Southern Province to fall into chaos. He also has a weakness. He's not a cultivator, so his ability to move about in the cultivation world is far inferior to you, Daoye. After all, the world is still controlled by cultivators. "
"Heh heh, that's right. This has always been his biggest weakness." Niu Youdao smiled and turned around to take two steps. His gaze fell in the direction of the backyard and he raised his chin. "Is her room still dark?"
Yuan Gang grunted, then asked, "Could the talismans in her hands have been gifted by Du Yunsang?"
Niu Youdao was slightly hesitant. "I suspected it at first, and she admitted it jokingly. But after this incident, I don't think it's right. Look at the two slaps she took, that's called courage. I find it hard to believe that she would use something gifted by Du Yunsang. "
Yuan Gang thought about it and felt it was a little strange. "Now that the problem and the problem are intertwined, you can't really want to find trouble with Wen Xinzhao at this time, right?"
"I've always wondered about this. Wen Xinzhao disregarded his identity and did this. His hatred for Hongniang is clear. How could he let Hongniang live until now?" Niu Youdao held his sword behind his back and said meaningfully to Yuan Gang, "Wen Xinzhao doesn't look like someone who would let Hongniang go. Based on the situation at the time, there's only one person who is willing and capable of stopping Wen Xinzhao."
Yuan Gang's brows twitched, and he suddenly said, "Is Du Yunsang protecting Hongniang?"
"I know too little, and it's related to the position of Tian Xing Faction's leader. It's hard to confirm." Niu Youdao let go of his sword and placed it in front of him. He raised his head and looked at the moon. He seemed to be talking to himself, "The debt with Chao Jing, Shao Pingbo stirring up trouble, Heavenly Jade Faction trying to kill me, and Hongniang slapping me. We haven't been idling either. Things have really come together, it's a mess. It's okay, let them come. We'll deal with them when they come! We'll take a break at Wan Shou Faction. This time, I'll stay here and play with them. Let's work together and deal with them at the same time! "
Yuan Gang was dazed for a moment. It was as if he saw Daoye's heroic spirit again. But he still had his doubts. "Deal with them at the same time?"
Niu Youdao tilted his head and looked at him. He said coldly, "That's right. I can't afford to offend Tian Xing Faction, but I don't feel comfortable with Hongniang's slaps. If I didn't force her to go out with me, she wouldn't have been bullied like this. She didn't say anything, but I can't pretend that nothing happened. I'll get Hongniang to return those slaps with interest sooner or later. Even if I can't do anything to Wen Xinzhao now, I can't let her continue to show off in front of me. Otherwise, Hongniang won't have the face to leave Wan Shou Faction! I was just about to find out what's going on with Du Yunsang and her husband and Hongniang. Chen Tingxiu is probably here to cause trouble for me. Alright, after I'm done with Great Zen Mountain tomorrow, I'll use them as a warm-up! "
…
Tianyun Inn, two Great Zen Mountain disciples followed Elder Huang Tong down the stairs.
At the bottom of the stairs, a Great Zen Mountain disciple welcomed them and led them to a private room.
On the table in the private room, there were several delicacies cooked with spirit beast meat. People who came here couldn't help but want to taste them.
After Huang Tong sat down, he waved his hand to signal everyone to sit together. "After we're done, don't stay idle. Go out and ask around."
"Yes!" Several people responded.
Just as they started to eat, footsteps came from the outside into the private room next door. The sound of chairs being moved followed by people's conversation.
"The woman beside him is Qi Jing's Hongniang?"
"That's right. I heard that she was known as the number one beauty in the world."
"Yo, why did Sect Leader Du's wife slap her? Is there something between Hongniang and Sect Leader Du … "
"Shut up. Don't talk nonsense about this."
"Senior Brother, I heard that Niu Youdao has visited the sect leaders of Xiao Yao Palace, Purple Golden Cave, Spirit Sword Mountain, Hundred River Valley, Supreme Palace, and Goddess Cult. Her face is not small!"
