Seeing that he was in such a rush, Shao Sansheng didn't dare to waste any more time. He ran to the exit of the dungeon and begged the cultivator guarding outside.
The cultivator guarding the dungeon walked in front of Shao Pingbo and reminded, "Eldest Young Master, it's best not to mess around."
Mess around? Shao Pingbo nodded obediently. It wasn't a good time to offend him and he didn't want to explain anything to him.
For him, there was nothing to explain to a person who compared Great Zen Mountain to the sky and drew circles on Great Zen Mountain but couldn't do anything for his entire life.
That cultivator looked at the food placed at the foot of the cage. Seeing that it wasn't touched, he looked towards Shao Pingbo. He was actually filled with disdain. Usually, he was just a dog of Great Zen Mountain. If they let him be, he would be. If they let him be, he would be unlucky in the blink of an eye.
Shao Pingbo paced back and forth in the cell. His mind was in a mess and he wasn't in the mood to eat.
At first, he didn't care too much about the Great Zen Mountain. After receiving the news from the Heavenly Jade Sect, he was already mentally prepared to face the Great Zen Mountain. He was prepared that the Great Zen Mountain would find out that Niu Youdao was looking for the six great sects. At that time, he could just discuss with the Great Zen Mountain how to deal with it.
It wasn't a big deal even if Niu Youdao purposely leaked it to Great Zen Mountain. He was also mentally prepared for this. He had dealt with Great Zen Mountain for many years and naturally had ways to convince them to maintain their suspicions towards Niu Youdao's leak.
He planned his escape route because he knew how dangerous Niu Youdao was. He sensed that Niu Youdao was coming at him aggressively, so he made preparations in advance.
He didn't expect Niu Youdao to have such a good grasp of the situation on this side. His calculations were so intricate that he was able to make Wan Shou Sect's people come out and make Great Zen Mountain believe that Shao Pingbo was the one who caused the trouble, that it was Shao Pingbo who didn't learn from his mistakes that caused Great Zen Mountain to be in danger of death. If he didn't retreat in time, it wouldn't be so easy to control them and they would have to pay the price in blood.
He now realized that all along, Niu Youdao really did not give up on killing him and had put in a lot of effort into plotting against him.
He also realized that his grasp of the news in the cultivation world was too poor. He didn't know that the people from Great Zen Mountain had also gone to Wanxiang City, which allowed Niu Youdao to make use of the people from Wan Shou Sect and bewitched Great Zen Mountain.
Only when he was controlled by Great Zen Mountain did he know that he and Great Zen Mountain had fallen into Niu Youdao's trap.
He didn't get the reason from Zhong Yangxu earlier, and only now did he know how Niu Youdao bewitched the Great Zen Mountain.
From this, it could be seen how outdated his knowledge of the cultivation world was, and how passive he was when facing Niu Youdao.
He now deeply felt that this was an unbalanced battle.
He deeply regretted not stopping Niu Youdao's rise in Nanzhou at all costs, which allowed Niu Youdao to have more power to stir up trouble. If it was the previous Niu Youdao, he wouldn't have such power, and he probably wouldn't even have the right to enter Wan Shou Sect.
Chao Shenghuai's appearance made him even more anxious.
After he made a move against Niu Youdao, he didn't expect Niu Youdao's counterattack to be so swift and fierce. However, he wasn't someone to be trifled with. He immediately came up with a three-way plan to break out of the situation, attacking, defending, and retreating. His counterattack was not slow at all!
The best plan was to stall here, and wait for Tianyu Sect's killer move to succeed. He didn't believe that Tianyu Sect's strength wouldn't be able to pose a threat to Niu Youdao. It didn't matter if they could kill him or not, as long as they fought, he had a way to stir up chaos in Nanzhou. Even if Niu Youdao didn't die, he could still destroy Niu Youdao's years of hard work.
The second plan was to stabilize the six major sects of Yan and Han, and buy more time for his counterattack.
The third plan was to retreat, and the price he had to pay was too high. He wouldn't use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
He had long realized that Wan Shou Sect had become the key to the game. Chao Shenghuai's sudden appearance, especially with his background, made it so that even if he was in Niu Youdao's position, he would still have a lot of room to maneuver. This greatly reduced his hopes for Wan Shou Sect, and he was extremely worried that Tianyu Sect and Great Zen Mountain would fall into Niu Youdao's trap.
Once the best plan was to break the stalemate, his second plan was too passive, especially when facing an opponent like Niu Youdao.
He even suspected that Niu Youdao's visit to the six major sects' Sect Leaders was a trap, but the information he had was limited, and he couldn't make a judgment. He could only hope that the people from Great Zen Mountain would visit the six major sects' Sect Leaders to verify the authenticity of the information.
Chao Shenghuai's appearance made him feel that Niu Youdao's attack in Wan Shou Sect would be swift, and time might not be on his side anymore.
Before this, he could still stay calm and wait in the prison, but now, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and he couldn't sit still any longer.
Clatter, the metal door opened, and Shao Pingbo, who was pacing back and forth, suddenly turned around and looked at the end of the prison corridor.
Zhong Yangxu had arrived, and a few people followed behind him. The disciples guarding the prison greeted them.
The two of them finally met through the metal bars. Zhong Yangxu looked at the food box at his feet and asked, "What's wrong? Is the food not delicious? "
"Even if the food is not delicious, I wouldn't dare to trouble you." Shao Pingbo replied politely, and he didn't want to beat around the bush, so he went straight to the point and said, "There is a hidden danger in Wan Shou Sect, the people from Great Zen Mountain must deal with it in time, or else they will fall into the trap of that thief."
Zhong Yangxu frowned and said, "How do you know that there is a hidden danger in Wan Shou Sect? Did you admit that it was you who caused all this? "
Shao Pingbo's eyes moved, and he noticed that Zhong Yangxu's grip on his sword tightened, so he quickly explained, "Uncle, you misunderstood me, I just remembered something, two years ago, I received news that the grandson of Wan Shou Sect's Elder Chao Jing, Chao Shenghuai seems to be in cahoots with Niu Youdao. If Niu Youdao wants to cause trouble in Wan Shou Sect, he will definitely rely on Chao Shenghuai."
Zhong Yangxu: "So what?"
Shao Pingbo was getting anxious, "We need to remind Wan Shou Sect to be careful, we need to get rid of Niu Youdao, so that Great Zen Mountain doesn't suffer any losses!"
Zhong Yangxu frowned, "Do you know Chao Jing's background?"
Shao Pingbo: "Isn't he an Elder of Wan Shou Sect?"
Zhong Yangxu said, "Not only he is an Elder of Wan Shou Sect, he also has the same teacher as the Sect Leader of Wan Shou Sect, Xi Hai Tang. He is Xi Hai Tang's right-hand man, they are in cahoots, how many times have you seen people attack their own people?"
Shao Pingbo was stunned, he really didn't know about this.
Zhong Yangxu continued, "Remind Wan Shou Sect to keep an eye on this Chao Shenghuai, how are we going to do that? Once Chao Jing opens his mouth, he will know that no one will be able to find out anything, and once he opens his mouth, he will offend Chao Jing! Even if we can prove that Niu Youdao is in cahoots with Chao Sheng, so what? So what if we cripple Chao Shenghuai? How are we going to face Chao Jing? Do you think Great Zen Mountain has nothing better to do than to make enemies with Chao Jing? "
Shao Pingbo's face tightened, "Uncle, this is not a small matter, we can't continue fighting amongst ourselves, we might fall into someone else's trap! That thief Niu is treacherous, Great Zen Mountain might be at a disadvantage in front of Wan Shou Sect, uncle, please let me out immediately and send someone to escort me back to Wan Shou Sect, let me face Niu Youdao personally, what you were worried about just now is not a problem, I have a way to solve this crisis! "
He felt that he was at too much of a disadvantage here. Niu Youdao was at the eruption point of the conflict and could react according to the situation at any time. Not to mention the time span of the information he had, all he had obtained were second-hand information. He was too passive.
Chao Shenghuai had surfaced, he was confident that he could kill Niu Youdao personally at Wan Shou Sect, so he was eager to leave.
Zhong Yangxu: "You don't have to go, the Sect Leader is already at Wan Shou Sect."
Shao Pingbo was anxious, "Uncle, the Sect Leader Huang doesn't have much meaning, only I know Niu Youdao the best, it will be too late if we delay any longer!"
Zhong Yangxu laughed, "I understand, it seems like in your eyes, you are the only one in the entire Bei Zhou, everyone else is useless! You should just eat your food in peace. "He turned around and left, ignoring Shao Pingbo.
"Uncle! Uncle … "Shao Pingbo grabbed the bars and shouted.
Shao Sansheng lowered his head outside the bars.
Before leaving the dungeon, Zhong Yangxu ordered, "Leave one more person in the dungeon."
The matter had not been investigated yet, this bastard still wanted to leave, he had to be careful.
Because he had suffered from this before, when the Shao Family was fighting amongst themselves, he let this bastard take a bath, and this bastard turned the tables.
Bang!
The sound of the dungeon door closing responded to Shao Pingbo's shout, it was undoubtedly telling him that it was useless even if he shouted until his throat broke.
Shao Pingbo, who was holding the bars and staring in the direction of the door, almost shot out fire from his eyes. He really wanted to say that if they weren't useless, then what were they? If I, Shao Pingbo, didn't create the situation in Bei Zhou, would your Great Zen Mountain be any better than the Heavenly Jade Sect? If I, Shao Pingbo, didn't pull your Great Zen Mountain to work together, where would your Great Zen Mountain get such a large territory?
Crack! Shao Pingbo kicked over the food box on the ground, he was so angry that he couldn't help but lower his head and cough a few times.
Inside the dungeon, another cultivator stared in this direction …
In the eagle's nest, in a stone room, the moon butterfly shone brightly. Chen Ping sat against the wall anxiously.
Ever since he gave the five black jade condor bells to Chao Shenghuai, his heart was filled with fear. Waves of lingering fear followed him like a shadow.
"Screech … screech …"
The faint eagle cries didn't make him come back to his senses.
"Junior Brother Chen, stop meditating, something happened!" Someone shouted at the door of the stone room.
Chen Ping woke up and quickly dashed out. When he passed by an eagle's nest, the eagle cries were piercing to the ears. He saw that the giant bird in the nest was extremely restless, it kept moving and its sharp claws scratched the ground, creating terrifying sounds.
In the end, the impatient giant bird jumped out of the nest and onto the cliff.
Chen Ping rushed over and stood at the edge of the cliff. He saw that the giant bird had already flapped its wings and soared under the dreary moonlight.
There were black shadows of giant birds flying or circling in the air, only letting out sharp cries, causing chaos and noise in Wan Shou Sect under the night sky.
…
In the courtyard, Niu Youdao was like a stone statue, or as if he had fallen asleep while standing, he stood there motionlessly with his sword in his hand.
A series of light footsteps could be heard, and Niu Youdao's familiar body fragrance wafted over. Guan Fangyi walked to the opposite side of him, stared at him and teased: "I say, Daoye, why are you standing here in the middle of the night like a ghost? What are you thinking?"
At this moment, Yuan Gangjian walked over and said: "Daoye, look!"
Niu Youdao suddenly opened his eyes. Guan Fangyi turned around and saw a large number of moon butterflies dancing in the sky, and there was a burst of sharp cries coming from afar.
Niu Youdao extended his hand and placed it on Guan Fangyi's shoulder.
Guan Fangyi turned around and looked at the hand on her shoulder, she didn't know what Niu Youdao meant.
In the next moment, Niu Youdao directly waved his hand and pushed her to the side. He felt that she was blocking his sight, so he stepped forward and placed his sword in front of him again. He stared at the moon butterflies and said calmly: "It has begun!"
