Southern Province, Heavenly Jade Clan, in the main hall, a group of Elders gathered and looked at Peng Youzai who stood at the head of the table with a cold expression.
With the Sect Leader's expression, it was obvious that something had happened. Feng Entai asked, "Sect Leader, why did you gather us here?"
Peng Youzai tilted his head and gestured to a disciple beside him to pass a letter to the Elders below for them to read.
Elder Ding Kuai who was the first to read the letter exclaimed and his expression changed.
All the elders immediately gathered around, all of them trying to read the contents of the letter. Those who saw the contents were all moved.
Slowly, Peng Youzai said, "Elder Chen Tingxiu is dead, he was killed by Tian Xing Clan's Clan Leader's wife, the daughter of the previous Clan Leader, Wen Xinzhao."
The Heavenly Jade Clan's disciple sent a message from Wan Shou Clan stating clearly that Chen Tingxiu wanted to use Hong Niang's incident to instigate Wen Xinzhao to kill him but he angered Wen Xinzhao and was killed outside Wan Shou Clan. Faced with the pressure from the three major factions of the Yan clan, the truth of the matter was not revealed and he could only accept a million gold coins.
But Feng Entai couldn't help but ask, "How did this happen?"
Peng Youzai said, "Elder Chen was chased out by Wen Xinzhao the first time he visited Wan Shou Clan. Wen Xinzhao then lured Elder Chen out of the clan and killed him. If he wanted to kill him, he could have lured him out right from the start, why did he wait until later? I feel that there's something fishy about this matter. If there's a problem, I'm afraid that Niu Youdao from Wan Shou Clan has something to do with it! "
Feng Entai held the letter in his hand and remained silent. On one side was his fellow disciple and on the other side was his sworn brother. When the decision was made to get rid of Niu Youdao, he couldn't express his opinion and could only remain silent.
"Despicable bastard!" The only female Elder of Heavenly Jade Clan, Lin Feixue, stomped her feet and said, "Tian Xing Clan is too much!"
Ding Kuai sighed, "Tian Xing Clan is powerful, but what can they do?"
Peng Youzai gritted his teeth and said, "We will remember this grudge and let our disciples remember it. Everyone in Heavenly Jade Clan will work hard and wait for the day when we can avenge this grudge!"
Lin Feixue said: "Niu Youdao has already colluded with the three big sects, we must ask Martial Uncle Cheng to hurry to the Wan Shou Sect to stop him."
Peng Zai said, "This little thief is treacherous; it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Martial Uncle Cheng shouldn't show his face in front of this little thief; I'm afraid you'll meet with mishap. Let him do whatever he wants. The original plan remains the same. Let Uncle Cheng continue to wait for an opportunity to kill the thief. I have already sent a message to all the disciples in the Wan Shou Clan, asking them to stay and watch over Niu Youdao's movements, and coordinate with Uncle Cheng. "
…
On the amiable green mountain, the Thatched Cottage Villa was still there. Outside the villa, under the tree, was a lone grave.
Three golden wings came from afar and dove into three buildings in the forest.
Fei Changliu had just walked out of the hall when Zheng Jiuxiao and Xia Hua flew over in succession and gathered under the eaves of the hall.
"You've also received news from Niu Youdao?" Fei Changliu asked.
Zheng Jiuxiao and Xia Hua each took out a translated secret letter from their sleeves. Fei Changliu also took out a copy and compared them. The content was exactly the same.
The content of the letter requested the three big sects to quickly mobilize the people in the Ice and Snow Pavillion and intercept the messenger. They must capture the target. Niu Youdao wants the letter in the messenger's hand.
Zheng Jiuxiao said, "Where is he? What is he doing? Things were also confusing and confusing. Didn't Song Tingwei's son, Song Shu, seek refuge with Shao Pingbo of the Northern Prefecture? Did that bastard abandon the Southern Prefecture and fight with the Northern Prefecture? Or, is he still holding a grudge against the Shangqing Sect and is determined to eliminate the Song family? "
Xia Hua sighed and said, "That bastard has always been secretive and secretive. He doesn't easily expose himself. Who knows what he's up to. No matter what he wants, we must carry it out! Didn't you see the tone of his words? We must keep it a secret. We can only succeed, not fail. If we fail, he will wipe the three big sects off the face of the Southern Prefecture. This tone makes me uncomfortable. "
Fei Changliu sighed, "So what if it's uncomfortable? No matter what, he finally contacted us after such a long time. At least it proves that he hasn't cut off all ties with us. In the battle of the Southern Prefecture, we swayed left and right. He has already given us a hard time. If we make another mistake this time, I'm afraid that bastard will really turn against us. Once we lose our foothold in the Southern Prefecture, our three big sects will really become stray dogs. "
Zheng Jiuxiao and Xia Hua nodded. It was too easy for Niu Youdao to find trouble with them. He only needed to send a message to Shang Chaozong and his troops could come and harass them, making them uncomfortable. Would they dare to kill Shang Chaozong's men?
"Ai, look at the situation of our three big sects. In any case, we have so many people. Not only do we have to rely on someone else's charity, we also have to look at their face. Look at that bastard. He's an abandoned disciple of the Shangqing Sect. He doesn't have as many people as we do, nor is he as strong as we are. But the reality is that we have to look at his face and run errands for him. What kind of situation is this? "Zheng Jiuxiao smiled bitterly.
Xia Hua said, "Don't be angry. Since the founding of our three big sects, how many masters have we changed? No matter how difficult it is, he doesn't work for two masters. He has always stayed by Shang Chaozong's side and supported Shang Chaozong all the way from the dead end. How can Shang Chaozong not be grateful? "
Zheng Jiuxiao said, "This kind of thing is boring."
Xia Hua said, "Then how do we compare? Who among us dares to kill the envoy of Yan? Do we dare to cross swords with the Heavenly Jade School in the Southern Prefecture? "
Fei Changliu raised his hand and interrupted, "Alright, stop arguing. Are you going to do it or not? Just give us a definite attitude!"
Having no other choice, the three met briefly and then quickly dispersed. Not long after, three golden wings soared into the sky …
The news reached the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
Xiao Tie, the shopkeeper of the Retaining Immortal Sect, Cao Heng, the shopkeeper of the Fuyun Sect, and Li Huoyun, the shopkeeper of the Lingxiu Mountain, didn't dare to delay. This was an urgent task, so the three quickly gathered their men in the Ice and Snow Pavilion.
Amidst the wind and snow, the three groups of people flew out of the canyon and soared among the snowy mountains.
After leaving the Great Snowmountain, they went straight to a relay station beside the official road and bought their mounts. The three groups arrived one after another and met up here.
This relay station didn't lack mounts. Cultivators heading to the Ice and Snow Pavilion usually left their mounts here.
"Hyah!"
A group of less than twenty riders rushed out of the relay station and galloped on the official road, kicking up snow and ice. They spurred their horses forward in the cold wind.
After leaving the ice field, they saw the first green field. At an intersection, the horses didn't stop. The people on horseback cupped their fists and bid farewell to each other. Then, they split into three groups and went their separate ways.
Myriad Beasts Sect, Spiritualization Valley.
The setting sun filled the sky, illuminating Xi Hai Tang's pale face. Xi Hai Tang came out of the cage and turned around.
The Myriad Beasts Sect was still there. Most of the higher-ups of the sect had gathered in front of a row of tall iron cages. Inside the cages, there were more than twenty gigantic birds. They were all dead, lying motionless in the cages.
One of the birds had snow-white fur. Xi Hai Tang's heart ached when he looked at it.
Flying mounts were too expensive. Not many people could afford them. Besides, these birds had a limited lifespan. They could only live for about twenty years. Actually, they couldn't sell many of them in a year. However, the Myriad Beasts Sect wanted to sell them at such a high price. It wasn't something that could be sold in bulk. In order to tame a bird until it was obedient and could carry people, it had to be tamed from a young age. The Myriad Beasts Sect had to get used to it from a young age. It could only be sold when it was an adult. Taming a bird that was suitable for sale would take at least three years.
These birds could only be sold for money. If they didn't sell them, the Myriad Beasts Sect would just hoard them. The Myriad Beasts Sect already had a few hundred birds waiting to be sold.
But it wasn't about the price. More than twenty birds had died. Five or six of them weren't big. They were still in their infancy.
"Junior Brother Mao, what happened?" Xi Hai Tang turned around and shouted angrily.
The old man next to him looked a little messy. His white hair was messed up. His eyes were bloodshot.
The old man was the elder in charge of the Spirit Transformation Valley, Mao Wu Shuang. He lowered his head and looked like he was in pain.
Chao Jing said: "Junior Brother Mao, you can't just keep quiet. You should at least give us an explanation."
Mao Wushuang replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't know what's going on either. All of a sudden, they started crying and jumping up and down in their cages. No matter how hard I tried to calm them down, it was useless. I could only watch as they fell one by one."
"Logically speaking, that shouldn't be the case," Chao Jing said. "This kind of bird has already mastered taming Spirit Valley. Unless it's weak or infected with some sort of disease, it shouldn't die so easily. Did it eat something it shouldn't have?"
Mao Wu Shuang said in a sobbing tone, "They ate animals that the disciples hunted in the mountains. It's the same every day!"
Chao Jing reached out and dipped the water in the trough. He raised his hand to his nose and sniffed. "Where's the water? Is there anything wrong with the water? "
Mao Wu Shuang stomped his feet and said, "I've tested it, I've tested it, there's no poison."
Chao Shenghuai, who was hiding at the back, suddenly said, "Sect Leader, did you catch some kind of plague?"
His words reminded Xi Hai Tang. Xi Hai Tang immediately turned around and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the birds at Spirit Gathering Mountain?"
Everyone knew that he was afraid of getting infected. The elder in charge of the birds at Spirit Gathering Mountain was An Shougui. Slowly, he said, "There's nothing wrong with the birds at the moment."
Xi Hai Tang pointed at the row of iron cages in front of him. "Leave a few corpses in the secret room and carefully examine them. Bury the rest and destroy them immediately. Don't let them come into contact with other spirit beasts or birds. This place also needs to be carefully examined! "
He turned to look at Mao Wu Shuang and said angrily, "Investigate the situation first, then deal with them!"
Mao Wu Shuang looked like he was about to cry. It didn't matter if he was punished or not. He was really distressed!
The people who gathered for a while then dispersed, and those who stayed immediately carried out the sect leader's orders.
Chao Shenghuai wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he said to a disciple in charge of the destruction, "Senior Brother, there are a lot of birds and beasts in the sect. If it's really a plague, it's best to bury them far away. Otherwise, if they spread, it'll be a big problem. Senior Brother, you might be implicated. It's best to destroy them in the forest outside the sect!"
The disciple nodded with a solemn expression, deeply agreeing.
Chao Shenghuai didn't make any sarcastic remarks and didn't care whether the corpses were infected or not. Instead, he brought two people with him to help. Each of them carried a huge bird corpse and crossed the mountains.
Of course, Chao Shenghuai was carrying a younger one.
