Chao Shenghuai had a big heart, how could he believe what he said without any proof? But this was a gamble on the other party's character, even if the other party did not give him a single copper coin, he could not do anything about it. But no matter what, he had gotten a million gold coins, it was better than nothing.
Even though his grandfather was an elder of the Wan Shou Sect, it was the first time in his life that he had gotten a million gold coins.
But five million became a million, how could he not be angry? In order to get those five birds, how much risk did he take?
But now, he was concerned about another matter. "The matter is settled, you have gotten such a big reward, you should leave now."
It would have been better if he did not mention this matter, once he did, Niu Youdao said: "I will not leave for the time being, the remaining four million gold coins, I will have to wait for a few days, I will have to wait for someone to send me the money. After thinking about it, no one knows what will happen in the future, it would be better to settle the accounts, no one owes anyone anything, to avoid any misunderstandings. After I leave the Wan Shou Sect, I will write off all the debts between us, no matter what you say, we will be strangers from now on, it's better not to contact each other, just pretend we have never met, it's better for everyone, what do you think? "
"… …"
When he heard the first part of the sentence, Chao Shenghuai was furious, he thought that the other party was going back on his words, he was going to go crazy.
But the second part of the sentence was like a bucket of cold water splashed on him, it extinguished his anger, there were a few sparks, he was half dead.
Chao Shenghuai was speechless.
He was struggling between the four million gold coins, four million gold coins, he could get it in a few days, why did he not hesitate to attack Niu Youdao in the illusion world?
To be indifferent to four million gold coins, it was a difficult decision.
To Niu Youdao, Chao Shenghuai was still too inexperienced, he was not a match for him, it was a piece of cake for him to control Chao Shenghuai, it was easy for him to destroy Chao Shenghuai's plan!
If Chao Shenghuai did not finish his own business, would he be chased away so easily?
Without waiting for Chao Shenghuai to calm down and think about it, Niu Youdao said: "Did anything go wrong yesterday? Tell me the details. "
Chao Shenghuai, who was hesitating with difficulty, subconsciously followed his words. After he finished speaking, he seemed to think of something. "By the way, there's something you have to help me with, and also to help yourself."
Niu Youdao went through the sequence of events according to his words. After pondering for a while, he replied, "What's the matter? Just say it."
Chao Shenghuai: "My four junior brothers who participated in this can't be left alive. Sooner or later, they will become a hidden danger. However, it's not convenient for me to make a move. Their strength is not much weaker than mine. This kind of thing really can't be known by others. It's not convenient for me to find others. Help me find a way to deal with them."
Niu Youdao understood. Silencing the witness. He realized that this fellow was really a vicious and merciless character. When it came to killing his fellow disciples, he did not hesitate at all. He nodded and said, "Got it. Don't worry, I will handle this matter. After I leave, I will leave some people in Wanxiang City to wait for your orders. When you feel that the opportunity is suitable, you can just inform them to make a move. "
Chao Shenghuai: "Leave as soon as possible. Don't cause any more trouble while you are here."
He was not in a hurry to chase them away. He could get the four million gold coins in a few days. His heart was heavy!
Niu Youdao: "I don't want to cause trouble. I'm afraid that someone will provoke me. So, you have to help me keep an eye on those who don't get along with me so that I can leave safely."
Chao Shenghuai: "There's one more thing. Don't you think it's time for you to give me an explanation?"
Niu Youdao: "What is it? Say it."
Chao Shenghuai: "What is it? Shouldn't you hand him over to me?"
Niu Youdao: "He's long dead."
Chao Shenghuai was angry again. "Don't give me that. You still want to use him to threaten me? If something happens to me, the Wan Shou Faction will definitely hunt you down! "
Niu Youdao: "Even you know this yourself. Do I still need to use him to threaten you? Think about it. The exit of the illusion world is guarded by the people of the Wan Shou Faction. Do you think I will take the risk to get him out? I was just joking with you. Of course, the joke wasn't funny at all. "
"…" Chao Shenghuai was speechless.
But it was because he was right that he felt aggrieved. Just because of a dead man, he actually went this far?
Usually, he thought that he was quite smart. But today, he suddenly felt that he was like a fool in the hands of others.
"Brother, think about it. If it wasn't for this, you might not have been able to earn so much money in your life. Wealth comes from danger. It doesn't matter if it was right or wrong. What's important is that you have achieved your goal, right?" Niu Youdao knew what he was thinking. He comforted him and said: "If you really want to see him, then you can be at ease. They were two brothers. I didn't have the heart to separate them. If you really want to see him, go to the place where you fought with them. Look for him under that tree. The two brothers were buried together. Alright, I'll go back first. If I stay here for too long, people will be suspicious. If there's anything, we'll contact each other as usual. "
…
As soon as he left the mountain stream and returned to the courtyard, he saw Yuan Gang walking towards him quickly.
Niu Youdao stopped. Yuan Gang whispered to his ear, "The news from Chen Guishuo has arrived. The letter has been sent to Xiao Yao Palace. He's on his way to the next place."
Niu Youdao responded with an 'oh' and smiled. "Our news has arrived. It seems that Great Sect Master Long will receive the news soon. The Great Zen Mountain has a surprise."
…
A golden wing descended from the sky and flew into the guest courtyard of Xiao Yao Palace.
Soon, Yi Shu's figure came from the pavilions and came to the side of the short couch in the waterside pavilion. She handed over a translated secret letter with both hands. "Master, the elders in the palace sent the news."
Long Xiu, who was meditating cross-legged, slowly stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes. He took the secret letter and read it. He frowned and murmured: "North Prefecture wants to surrender?"
Yi Shu didn't say anything. She was the one who translated the letter. Naturally, she had read the contents.
"The people from the Great Zen Mountain came previously, right?" Long Xiu looked at the letter and asked while pondering.
Yi Shu: "Yes. The elder of the Great Zen Mountain, Huang Tong, asked to see Master. Master didn't see him."
Long Xiu: "Go and find out where they live. Tell him to come and see me."
"Yes!" Yi Shu responded and left quickly.
…
A horse galloped on the official road. The rider whipped the horse and didn't stop. He went straight to the official road that passed through the forest ahead.
The rider was Song Shu. Seeing the looming majestic mountain behind the forest ahead, Song Shu, who was the messenger, became more spirited. They were finally almost there. Although the mountain looked like it was going to kill the horse, they were not far from the Supreme Palace after passing through the forest.
However, not long after he entered the forest, he had to stop the horse that was panting.
A broken carriage was on the road ahead. There seemed to be something wrong with the wheels, and it was lying on the road. The driver seemed to be repairing the bottom of the carriage. On one side was a mountain wall, and on the other side was a steep slope. Song Shu had to stop.
Song Shu spurred her horse forward slowly and shouted, "I'll have to trouble you to lead the horse and make way for me."
The curtain of the carriage window was pulled aside. Xiao Tie, the shopkeeper of the Ice Pavilion of the Celestial Retaining Sect, poked his face out of the window and stared at Song Shu's Mask.
Seeing Xiao Tie, Song Shu's expression changed instantly. Fortunately, the Mask blocked his expression. He tilted his head slightly to avoid Xiao Tie's gaze.
Why did his expression change? Because the two of them knew each other.
The Celestial Retaining Sect, Fuyun Sect, and Lingxiu Mountain were all sects that relied on the power of the Song family. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Song family had hired thugs to do things. For someone as powerful as the Song family, they would hire some forces in the cultivation world to help them do things. After all, this was the world of cultivators. Many things still needed to be handled by cultivators.
Song Shu had stayed in the cultivation world for so many years. How could he not have seen the Ice Pavilion of the Ice Pavilion?
Given his identity back then, how could Xiao Tie, the shopkeeper, not greet him warmly when he visited the Ice Pavilion?
The two of them naturally knew each other.
Xiao Tie laughed. "This voice is so familiar. It's just that the aura in your eyes isn't as strong as before. Third Master Song, we haven't seen each other for so many years. Why are you acting like you don't know each other? Third Master, I've been waiting here for a long time. Fortunately, you didn't disappoint me. Otherwise, I really don't know how to answer to my master. "
As soon as he said this, Song Shu's heart thumped. Without another word, he leaped into the air and pounced towards the forest at the side. He wanted to use the forest to escape.
While he was in midair, two people leaped out from the forest to block him. Both sides drew their swords in midair, and in an instant, they were engaged in a fierce battle. More people came to attack him.
Clang! The carriage broke into pieces. Xiao Tie rushed out of the carriage and joined the battle.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, the frightened horses neighed and ran away.
The commotion only lasted for a moment. Song Shu had already fallen to the ground, choking on blood. Xiao Tie had stepped on his chest, making it hard for him to move.
The sword in Xiao Tie's hand was pressed against his neck.
Xiao Tie was a Golden Core cultivator. Since he was sent to the Ice Pavilion to represent the Remnant Immortal Sect, his strength was naturally extraordinary.
On the other hand, Song Shu's strength was ordinary. His talent in cultivation was also ordinary, and he didn't have much experience in fighting. Back then, he was able to be awe-inspiring in the Shangqing Sect purely because of his family background. Even with that kind of background, he rarely had the opportunity to fight with his life on the line.
In fact, Xiao Tie alone could take care of Song Shu. Moreover, with a group of people surrounding him, taking him down naturally wouldn't be a problem.
"Traitor, you must suffer the wrath of heaven!" Song Shu roared in grief.
Xiao Tie laughed coldly. If it wasn't for the fact that the higher-ups had requested to capture him alive, he would have killed him on the spot. He used his sword to pat Xiao Tie's face. "Third Master, a fallen phoenix is inferior to a chicken. There's no point in having a sharp tongue. Search!"
The two of them came over and restrained Song Shu on the spot. They quickly dragged him to the depths of the dense forest to search.
Xiao Tie looked around, sheathed his treasured sword, and waved his hand to signal.
Immediately, someone quickly cleaned up the scene. The broken carriages that were blocking the road were directly swept into a ditch.
They had no choice but to use the carriages to block the road. They couldn't possibly stop and interrogate anyone they saw here, right? This place wasn't far from the Supreme Palace. If they stopped a disciple of the Supreme Palace in plain clothes, it would be troublesome. They wouldn't be able to handle it even if they provoked other experts.
Fortunately, Niu Youdao had already pointed out the path and determined that Song Shu wouldn't make detours because he was in a hurry. He would definitely pass through the path that led to his destination. Moreover, this side knew Song Shu, so it was much easier to handle.
Everyone who passed through was stopped in the same way. If they weren't the target, they would immediately pull aside the carriages to give way. They were polite and avoided trouble.
The only problem was that they didn't know which of the three sects Song Shu would go to first — the Hundred Rivers Valley, the Supreme Palace, or the Fairy Sect. Therefore, the people from the Immortal Retention Sect, the Fuyun Sect, and the Lingxiu Mountain split into three groups. They each guarded a path that they had to pass through and waited for him to come.
In the end, Song Shu ran into the hands of the Immortal Retention Sect and was captured.
After some commotion in the forest, a disciple found three secret letters wrapped in oiled paper and presented them to Xiao Tie. "Uncle, I've found them!"
