Niu Youdao made a sound and asked curiously, "Beg me? What can the great Flying Flower Pavilion give you? "
Cao Yu'er sighed, "Why does Daoye have to ask when you already know the answer. Ever since Zhou Shouxian was defeated, our Flying Flower Pavilion and True Spirit Institute were chased out of Nanzhou. We were like stray dogs with no place to rest, living in fear. What's worse is that the two sects have so many disciples. The basic cultivation resources and daily expenses are not a small amount. There is no income, only consumption. We can't afford this. If we continue, the hearts of Flying Flower Pavilion and True Spirit Institute will scatter and they will be destroyed by our hands. We will be letting down our ancestors! "
Niu Youdao nodded slightly, "It is hard on you. I can understand, but you have to understand that we had no choice when we attacked Nanzhou."
Cao Yu'er nodded, "We understand. Everyone has their difficulties. How can we not know the Yan Emperor's thoughts on Duke Yongping? There must be a winner and a loser in a fight. We were not as skilled, so we lost. There is nothing to complain about. The only thing we can do is climb back up after we fall. I hope that Daoye can give our Flying Flower Pavilion and True Spirit Institute a chance. "
Niu Youdao, "What chance? It can't be that you want us to give up Nanzhou? "
Cao Yu'er, "Daoye is too serious. We don't dare to challenge Daoye's position in Nanzhou, but Great Zen Mountain is too dominant in Nanzhou. This may not be a good thing for Daoye. Great Zen Mountain is just waiting for ten years. When Great Zen Mountain's overall strength goes up another level and has the power to completely control Nanzhou, will they still be able to tolerate Daoye's influence in Nanzhou? Maybe they won't be able to do anything until ten years later. They might do something detrimental to Daoye at any time. Is Daoye not worried? "
Niu Youdao placed his hand on the teacup. "You mean to kick Great Zen Mountain out of Southern State?"
Cao Yu'er: "Daoye, think about it. It really isn't good for one sect to be the strongest. If my Flying Flower Pavilion and True Spirit Institute replace Great Zen Mountain, it will be different. Flying Flower Pavilion, True Spirit Institute, and the three sects under Daoye can form a tripod that checks and balances each other. Isn't this the best situation for Daoye?"
Niu Youdao was deep in thought. Slowly after a long silence, he said, "Of course I don't know that it is not good for one sect to be the strongest, but it is easy to invite a god in but hard to send him away. It is not so easy to kick Great Zen Mountain out. Do you have any good ideas?" He seemed to be moved.
Cao Yuer leaned forward and said, "As long as Daoye is willing, we can think of a way together. As long as we work together, there is no need to worry about not having a good solution."
Niu Youdao hesitated: "Let me think about this."
"Good! Daoye, think about it. I will visit three days later. How about that? "Cao Yuer stood up to bid farewell. She meant to ask for an answer three days later.
Niu Youdao also stood up and said politely, "There is no need to go back and forth. Why don't you stay in the guesthouse?"
Cao Yuer waved her hand. "There are too many people here. It is not appropriate for Great Zen Mountain to know that I have been staying here for a long time."
Niu Youdao: "If that is the case, then I will not keep you. See you in three days!"
"Wait!" Cao Yuer waved her hand, indicating for Niu Youdao not to send her off in case she attracted too much attention.
Niu Youdao didn't stand on ceremony and waved for Duan Hu to send her off.
After watching the guest leave, the flower-robed man said, "You kicked away Heavenly Jade Gate, and now you want to kick away Great Zen Mountain?"
Niu Youdao held his sword with both hands. "I just came back yesterday and she is here today. She didn't come to find me earlier or later. Do you think it is a coincidence?"
The flower-robed man: "You mean, she has other intentions?"
Niu Youdao chuckled and said, "I originally thought that I would have to wait for a few more days. Now that I see this Sect Master Cao, if my guess is correct, the Imperial Court was preparing to attack the Southern Region, and the Soaring Flower Pavilion was one of the participants."
The flower-robed man: "The Imperial Court is so impatient that they are going to act against you soon?"
"I'm afraid it is right in front of us." Niu Youdao snorted slowly. His gaze was deep as he slowly turned his head to look at Yuan Gang and said, "They should be scouts."
Yuan Gang: "Everything is ready. I don't know what the participants are going to do. No one will leak the news." Previously, Niu Youdao had delayed along the way to attract the attention of the relevant people, giving him enough time to prepare.
Niu Youdao was not worried about what he had instructed Yuan Gang to do. Since Yuan Gang said he was ready, Niu Youdao didn't say much. He tilted his head and said, "Go. Also inform Huang Lie that a big gift is coming!"
Yuan Gang nodded, turned around, and strode away.
The flower-robed man seemed to understand, but he didn't ask much. This was the first time he had personally experienced this person's methods. He was looking forward to seeing what this person was going to do!
After leaving the heavily guarded area around Thatched Cottage Villa, Cao Yu 'er heaved a sigh of relief. She looked back at the vast green mountains and asked her disciple, "Did you see it clearly? Are you sure?"
The disciple said, "Master, don't worry. There is no mistake. This disciple saw it clearly. It is definitely Niu Youdao himself. If there is any mistake, this disciple is willing to use my life to guarantee it!"
"Let's go!" Cao Yu 'er immediately called out and quickly led her disciple into the forest ahead.
The master and disciple flew through the forest. Along the way, there were Flying Flower Pavilion disciples faintly discernible behind them to see if there was anyone following them.
When they arrived at a canyon deep in the mountains, they saw a casually dressed Gamiao Shui standing beside a stream with his hands behind his back. His expression was cold.
Behind him were several people, including the True Psychic Institute's Sect Master Jin Wuguang and Gao Shaoming.
"You're back." Jin Wuguang suddenly reminded.
Everyone, including Gamiao Shui, looked back. Cao Yu 'er and her disciple had already landed in front of them.
"Gong-gong." Cao Yu 'er cupped her hands. "Fortunately, I didn't fail you!"
Gamiao Shui: "Are you sure that Niu Youdao is in the villa?"
Cao Yu 'er: "He is indeed in the villa. I have already talked to him according to the plan. There is no mistake."
"Good! There is news that he is moving to Nanzhou's Prefecture City. Once he goes to the Nanzhou Provincial Governor's Mansion, it will be troublesome to make a move. This time, we won't make a move. Once we make a move, we must not let him escape. We must kill him in one strike! " Gamiao Shui reminded everyone, especially Cao Yu 'er and Jin Wuguang. "Are the people from True Psychic Institute and Flying Flower Pavilion in position?"
"Yes."
"Hide and wait for the right moment. We can surround and attack at any time!"
The two Sect Masters nodded in confirmation, but their hearts were filled with sorrow.
This time, in order to get rid of Niu Youdao, the two sects had sent out all their disciples except for the Qi Refinement Stage disciples. More than ten thousand cultivators had gathered. It was a huge lineup. Both of them knew that their purpose was to deal with the large number of cultivators from Celestial Retaining Sect, Floating Cloud Sect, and Spiritual Beauty Mountain.
Although the three sects were not as strong as the two sects, once a fight broke out, they would definitely fight back. Even if it was a life-and-death struggle, they would make them pay!
But there was no other way. Just like what Cao Yu 'er had said to Niu Youdao, True Psychic Institute and Flying Flower Pavilion had already become stray dogs in the Yan Country. They had no income and had to feed so many people. With such a large group of cultivators, which faction would not worry about them and allow them to establish a foothold?
The factions in the territories of the Yan Country would not take them in, and the factions in the territories of other countries would not tolerate them.
If not for the leniency of the Imperial Court, it would be difficult for so many cultivators to find a foothold. If even the Imperial Court did not tolerate them, the other factions would not be polite to them. They would be chased everywhere. In the long run, it was not hard to imagine the consequences.
The problem was, using such a large force and paying a huge price to get rid of Niu Youdao would not bring them any benefits. They would only get some money from the Imperial Court and empty promises. Who knew when they would be able to fulfill their promises after conquering the Southern Province?
But there was no other way. The weak could not resist the strong. If they dared to disobey, they might not be able to get any benefits, but they could force them into a dead end!
It just so happened that when they were preparing to attack the Southern Province, Tong Mo, the Minister of Public Works of the Yan Country, had come to find them. The two sects' manpower just happened to be in the vicinity of the Southern Province. This time, they conveniently used the two sects' manpower. The two sects could not even find an excuse to refuse because of the long distance.
Ever since they lost their territory in the Southern Province, Zhen Ling Institute and Flying Flower Pavilion had completely lost their right to speak in the Yan Country!
"Good!" Gamiao Shui nodded. He turned to another group of cultivators in front of him, cupped his fists and said, "This time, we have gathered three hundred experts to attack the Thatched Cottage Villa. You will be the leaders. On the outside, Zhen Ling Institute and Flying Flower Pavilion will attract a lot of the enemy's manpower. Inside, we will have to rely on you. I hope you will work together! "
Everyone cupped their fists and said, "Elder Ge, I admit that Niu Youdao has some reputation, but isn't it a bit too much to mobilize so many people just to deal with a single Niu Youdao? Even if we take his head, it will only be a joke! "
"This thief is not ordinary. His methods are not something ordinary cultivators can compare to. He can only be generous and cannot be underestimated. It is always good to be prepared!" Gamiao Shui waved his hand and did not say anything else. He flashed and landed on the opposite side of the stream.
An old man in a yellow robe was sitting cross-legged on a rock on the opposite side of the mountain. He did not seem to fit in with the crowd.
This old man was none other than the expert ranked 7th on the Ranking of Alchemy. He could be considered as one of the people who had reached the peak among the rogue cultivators. His name was Zong Yuan!
When the cultivators on the opposite side of the stream saw this person, they were filled with deep respect. They did not expect that the Imperial Court would invite this person out of the mountain to deal with a single Niu Youdao!
Gamiao Shui cupped his fists and said, "Mister Zong, have you remembered the person in the portrait?"
Zong Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said, "I am not a three-year-old child. I don't need you to tell me more. You just need to remind Shang Jianxiong to keep his promise. Otherwise, I want to see if the experts of the three sects can follow him closely for the rest of their lives!"
