Huang Tong's chopsticks froze when he heard the words' Northern Prefecture's Shao Pingbo '. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
The rest of the people looked at each other and stopped what they were doing. They held their breaths and didn't make any sound so that they could hear what was said clearly.
"Forced? Isn't that Niu Youdao from the Southern Prefecture? The Northern Prefecture and the Southern Prefecture are quite far apart, right? "
"I'm not sure about the specifics. When the sect arranged for someone to help him report to the six major sects, I was listening in on the conversation between Uncle-Master and Uncle-Master. It seems to involve some Shangqing Sect. Shao Pingbo seems to have sent someone to assassinate Niu Youdao. The assassin failed and was taken care of by Niu Youdao. Not only did he send an assassin, but he also colluded with the Heavenly Jade Sect of the Southern Prefecture to kill Niu Youdao. An elder from the Heavenly Jade Sect also came to the Wan Shou Sect. That Shao Pingbo seems to have angered Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao seems to be planning a counterattack. "
"How?"
"I don't know. It's none of our business …"
The topic next door changed again.
The Great Zen Mountain disciples all looked at Huang Tong.
Huang Tong was silent for a while. He raised his hand and signaled for two disciples to go out and keep an eye on the situation.
As someone from the Northern Prefecture, he felt that something was wrong when he heard about the Northern Prefecture. He was worried that someone was up to no good.
Even after the people next door left, there was still no movement …
Outside the inn, Chao Shenghuai sat in front of the window on the opposite floor. He stared at the entrance through the crack of the window.
Seeing the Wan Shou Sect disciples leave the inn, Chao Shenghuai immediately stood up. He opened the crack of the window a little more and stared at the entrance.
Soon, a Great Zen Mountain disciple came out of the inn. He obviously followed the Wan Shou Sect disciples.
This meant that the arrangement worked. The Great Zen Mountain had received the information that they wanted to give. Chao Shenghuai heaved a sigh of relief. He closed the crack of the window and turned to leave.
He went downstairs and left quietly from the back door.
There was no need for him to stay any longer. He had completed his mission. It was simple, and he did not have to take any risks. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to Niu Youdao so easily …
In the private dining room of the Great Zen Mountain, the three people sitting there had lost interest in eating. Huang Tong leaned against the back of the chair and was silent.
Very quickly, a disciple came back and reported in a low voice: "Master, judging from the clothes he is wearing, he is a disciple of the Wan Shou Sect, we asked the innkeeper of the inn, he said he is also a disciple of the Wan Shou Sect, the innkeeper knows him."
Slowly, Huang Tong said, "It might not have been arranged by someone else. Have you followed?"
The disciple replied, "Senior Martial Brother has already followed them."
Huang Tong: "You chase after them too. If something happens, you can provide support and feedback."
"Yes!" The disciple replied and quickly left.
Huang Tong stood up, no longer eating. He left the private room and returned to his own room. He paced back and forth in his room, his expression grave.
Recently, a lot of people came to Wanxiang City one after another, more than the number of people who came for the Spirit Beast Gathering. It was a bit messy, and their purpose was naturally to pay attention to the matter of the Illusion World not being closed. He, Huang Tong, was also ordered by the Great Zen Mountain to come here.
Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived, before he could completely carry out his purpose, he inadvertently learned about the confrontation between Shao Pingbo and Niu Youdao.
Whether it was true or not, his first reaction was whether it was a trap. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?
Therefore, he needed to verify whether the other party was really a disciple of the Wan Shou Sect. If it was true, the Wan Shou Sect would not help Niu Youdao get involved in this kind of dispute. Plus, with Niu Youdao's strength, he should not be able to order the people of the Wan Shou Sect to do this kind of thing, so the matter was a bit serious.
Yan Clan's Xiao Yao Palace, Purple Golden Cave, Spirit Sword Mountain, Hundred River Valley, Supreme Palace, Goddess Cult of South Korea. Right now, the Northern Region was sandwiched between these two great forces. What did Niu Youdao want to do by contacting these two forces?
As for the conflict between Shao Pingbo and Niu Youdao, he, as an Elder of the Great Zen Mountain, naturally knew about it. The Great Zen Mountain had already ordered Shao Pingbo to stop, but did Shao Pingbo still secretly make a move? Sending people to assassinate him, and colluding with the Sky Jade Sect of the Southern Region?
If he really did this, it was tantamount to forcing Niu Youdao to the road of death. It would be strange if Niu Youdao did not react...
About an hour later, the two disciples returned together.
Before the two greeted, Huang Tong urgently asked, "Have you confirmed it, are they disciples of the Wan Shou Sect?"
The two disciples first cupped their hands in greeting. One of them replied, "Master, I have confirmed it. They are disciples of the Wan Shou Sect. I saw them enter the Wan Shou Sect's mountain gate with my own eyes, and they even greeted the disciples guarding the gate."
Huang Tong questioned, "Is there any possibility of someone impersonating them?"
The other disciple replied, "Master, think about it, there are disciples of the Wan Shou Sect guarding the mountain gate, how can outsiders wear the uniform of the Wan Shou Sect and enter the mountain gate?"
Huang Tong thought about it and agreed, the uniform of a sect represented the sect, even if it was prepared for guests, it would be casual clothes, it was impossible for them to prepare the uniform of their own sect for outsiders, it would easily cause trouble for the sect.
"It seems like they are really disciples of the Wan Shou Sect …" Huang Tong muttered, then immediately said in a deep voice, "Immediately send a message back, report the situation, and let the sect decide!"
…
In the forest, under the forest, four disciples of the Wan Shou Sect were either standing, sitting, or pacing back and forth, looking around.
"Senior brother is here." Zhang Wangzhe suddenly called out, and the person who was sitting immediately stood up.
A figure flashed in and landed in front of them, it was Chao Shenghuai.
Chao Shenghuai saw them and asked, "Did anything go wrong?"
"No, no." The four of them replied one after another.
Chao Shenghuai, "Did you say it according to the plan? You didn't add fuel to the fire, did you? "
One of them said, "Senior brother, don't worry, you told us again and again, we also rehearsed it, we did not add fuel to the fire."
Chao Shenghuai nodded, "That's good."
One of them asked, "Senior brother, is it appropriate for us to get involved in this matter? What are we doing? Does Elder Chao know? "
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Chao Shenghuai looked at him coldly, "Are you afraid? Even if something goes wrong, the main culprit is me, how can I let anything happen to you? "
"That's right, what are you talking about?" The others started to criticize that person, causing him to apologize again and again.
Chao Shenghuai waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop talking. "I have made it clear, in fact, there are some things that everyone knows, no matter where, as long as there are a lot of people, people will have different hearts, it is impossible to be completely the same, it is inevitable to be divided into factions, our Wan Shou Sect is no exception. Are you all willing to follow me, today's matter is just the beginning, whether we are all in the same boat or not, there will be a test in the future, people who are not united will not be able to get on the same boat. "
"That's right."
"Senior brother, you are right."
The others all agreed, they all wanted to be on the same boat as Chao Shenghuai.
They all knew what kind of background Chao Shenghuai had, there was a reason why Chao Shenghuai was able to find them, they were all people with mediocre cultivation talent, they didn't have many opportunities to become famous in the sect. Chao Shenghuai was forced to come here by Niu Youdao, he had spent a lot of effort to choose these four people, he didn't dare to use people from Chao Jing's faction, once he used them, he would alert Chao Jing.
In the midst of flattery, Chao Shenghuai took out four gold notes worth ten thousand gold coins, he gave one to each of them.
The four people's eyes lit up, but they also refused, they didn't have any benefits to give, they also wanted to take benefits from Chao Shenghuai, it felt inappropriate.
"Don't talk nonsense, just take it, I will not mistreat people who work with me." Chao Shenghuai's attitude was firm.
The four people could only thank Chao Shenghuai again and again and accept the money, they were all thinking, as expected of Elder Chao's grandson, he is so rich, he is so generous.
Usually, when they were in the sect, their cultivation resources were provided by the sect according to their ranks, their food and necessities were all provided by the sect, their monthly salary was actually only a few gold coins, they had never received so much money at once.
Of course, they also didn't know that this money was given to Chao Shenghuai by Niu Youdao.
"I'll say the ugly words first, don't think that we can be on the same boat, if you want to get on the same boat, you have to show your loyalty, otherwise, who can guarantee that there won't be any disloyal people among you? If you are hesitant, you can take the money and leave now, I won't force you. "Chao Shenghuai was observing everyone's reaction when he said this.
"I will listen to Senior Brother."
"I am willing to be of one mind with Senior Brother."
"What do you want to do, Senior Brother, just say it."
The few people also didn't know what Chao Shenghuai wanted them to show their loyalty, they agreed one after another, they were in high spirits.
Everyone only knew that Chao Shenghuai was Chao Jing's grandson, it wasn't easy for them to get on this line, they didn't want to miss this hard-earned opportunity to stand out …
After appeasing these people and sending them away, Chao Shenghuai immediately rushed to Niu Youdao's side, he wanted to meet with Niu Youdao, this matter was settled, he had to give Niu Youdao an answer.
It was still at that Drooping Flower Mountain Stream, when Niu Youdao appeared, Chao Shenghuai, who was hiding in the crevice of the mountain wall, reported, "The matter of Great Zen Mountain is settled."
Niu Youdao, who was pacing around outside with his hands behind his back, actually already knew about this matter. For such an important matter, he couldn't just let Chao Shenghuai say whatever he wanted, he had already arranged for people from Mount Five Liang to keep an eye on this matter, and Mount Five Liang had already sent a message back.
"Thank you, Brother Chao." Niu Youdao said, "Tell me, does Chen Tingxiu know about Wen Xinzhao hitting Hong Niang?"
Chao Shenghuai hesitated for a while, "He probably doesn't know about this, the sect has already issued a ban, for the time being, no one in the sect will casually mention this matter to outsiders, it's hard to say when the matter dies down."
Niu Youdao: "Alright! If he doesn't know, then find a way to let him know, the sooner the better. "
Chao Shenghuai was shocked and angry: "Are you crazy, the sect has just issued a ban, you want me to go against the rules and commit a crime?"
Niu Youdao said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense with me! You have to do it, whether you want to do it or not, how you want to do it, that's your problem, I don't need to worry about it. Chen Tingxiu came here to kill me, if I can't leave Wan Shou Faction safely, he will force me into a corner, don't think that you will have an easy time. "
Chao Shenghuai was angry: "You have no way out? I think it's me who has no way out? You keep doing things one after another, do you think the Wan Shou Faction is made of paper? If this goes on, sooner or later I will be killed by you. "
Niu Youdao immediately scolded him: "Are you stupid? No one is more suitable than you to do this, you are the safest person to do it, even if you go and tell Chen Tingxiu directly, he won't dare to tell anyone. He is not afraid of you, he is afraid of your grandfather, if he kills you, he will offend your grandfather, do you think he dares to offend your grandfather in Wan Shou Faction? Even if he leaves Wan Shou Faction, he won't dare to do it, what are you afraid of, what's there to be surprised about? "
