To put it bluntly, the Misty Pavilion specialized in dealing with all kinds of troublemakers who disobeyed the rules.
Of course, although they weren't afraid, Yan didn't want to cause trouble for themselves. Otherwise, before the Misty Pavilion subdued such troublemakers, they would still be a big threat. Even if they couldn't kill the emperor, the emperor still had his children and ministers to protect him. How could the three major sects find so many masters to protect everyone? So it was too easy for such a master to kill someone. No one wanted to offend such a person unless absolutely necessary.
"Rest assured, Mr. Zong. The imperial court has good intentions. Zong Yanling's identity was exposed, and the imperial court protected him in time to prevent others from gossiping. If anyone says anything, the imperial court can explain it to the public at any time. He has been secretly given an official position by the imperial court. After it's done, as long as Mr. Zong is willing, the imperial court can give him an idle position. It's normal for you to need two cultivators to protect you. Of course, if Mr. Zong is unwilling, you can take him away at any time. The imperial court doesn't want to offend Mr. Zong, "Gamiao Shui said politely.
Zong Yuan's cheeks tightened. His heart was full of regret. He hated that he had been blinded by greed and left a weakness for a group of rascals to use against him.
In his early years, he thought that he could live a carefree life. Who would have thought that in the end, he would meet a woman who moved his heart and have a son, Zong Yanling. Later, his son gave him several grandchildren.
With his cultivation and strength, he didn't lack cultivation resources, and he didn't want to work like a slave for others anymore. Thus, he secretly made arrangements for his son, afraid that others would use him as a weakness to threaten him. Who knew that the news would still be leaked.
His son, grandchildren, and grandchildren were all in the hands of others. He couldn't be so cold-hearted as to give them all up.
It was too late to regret. "Cut the crap. If you dare to break your promise, I'll cut off your head first!"
"Okay, as long as Mr. Zong succeeds, I'll guarantee it with my own head!" Gamiao Shui cupped his hands and then made an inviting gesture.
Under the gaze of the people across the stream, Zong Yuan slowly stood up.
…
"Let's get ready and carry out the plan as usual."
Yuan Gang arrived at the Staying Immortal Sect. After hearing Yuan Gang's words, the sect master, Fei Changliu, waved his hand and signaled the disciples to carry out the plan.
Yuan Gang, who was carrying the Three Howling Saber on his back, said, "Don't delay. Mobilize the entire sect and carry out the plan immediately. The sect master will personally supervise!"
Fei Changliu frowned. "Yuan Gang, some of our disciples are cultivating in seclusion while others are busy with their own matters. of their own matters, of the plan. Don't go too much."
This was because ever since the three sects had arrived, Yuan Gang had often conducted so-called 'drills'. In other words, he had come up with all sorts of hypothetical rehearsals on how to defend the Thatched Cottage Villa in the event of an attack.
The three sects actually didn't have the patience to do this, but because of Niu Youdao's face, the three sects could only cooperate. After a long time, they had gotten used to it, and were able to deal with it a little. They just sent some people to do it half-heartedly.
It was a little hard to accept such a sudden and ferocious attack. Sending so many people, pulling them in and out like monkeys, was it fun?
.,,...,.,.......... with.......................
Uncle Chen, Second Brother Wu, and the others were watching Yuan Gang from behind. Today, they were responsible for his safety.
Fei Changliu was shocked. He stood up from his seat and asked, "Did something happen?"
Yuan Gang said, "Don't ask. You'll know when the time comes."
After some time, Fei Changliu knew Yuan Gang's character. He was the kind of person who spoke harshly and made people uncomfortable. He was used to it and didn't take it seriously. He asked, "Is Daoye still in the villa? I'll go see him. "
Yuan Gang said, "I won't stop you if you want to! However, I have to remind you that Grandpa Taoist is a person who is easy to talk to at times, but at other times, he is cold-blooded and heartless. If you aren't afraid that Grandpa Taoist will kill one to warn the others, go ahead and try. It's fine if you try, but don't involve the entire Staying Immortal Sect. It's best if all the Staying Immortal Sect disciples are in place. If there's any delay, I guarantee that the Staying Immortal Sect will no longer have a foothold in Nanzhou! "
At this point, Fei Changliu didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. The problem was that even if he carried out the order, it would only be a little troublesome. He wouldn't lose anything.
Soon, the Staying Immortal Sect disciples came out in full force. Fei Changliu then realized that it wasn't just his Staying Immortal Sect. The disciples of Lingxiu Mountain and Fuyun Sect had already made their move.
…
The people in the Thatched Cottage Villa also began to move.
On the tallest building in the villa, Niu Youdao stood at the top. The man in luxurious clothes stood beside him. Lei Zongkang and Duan Hu were also there. They were in charge of keeping an eye on the surroundings.
Shang Shuqing climbed up the building and shouted, "Daoye!"
Niu Youdao turned around and saw Shang Shuqing. He saw Silver 'Er, who was following behind Shang Shuqing with a food container in her arms and blabbering nonstop. He also saw Guan Fangyi, who came up behind him. He couldn't help but frown and say, "Matchmaker, didn't you tell the Princess to hide with Zhuang Hong and the rest?"
There were naturally reasons for not letting Shang Shuqing stay with him. One of them was that if there was any danger, the other party would come for him. They wouldn't exhaust themselves to the end with others, and there was no need to offend Mister Yu Cang. Once they succeeded, they would retreat. It was safer for Shang Shuqing to stay with Zhuang Hong and her son.
On the other hand, the people around him, Niu Youdao, were more dangerous.
Guan Fangyi walked over and said with a bitter smile, "It would've been better if you didn't say it. But because you said it, the Princess will come looking for you. I can't even stop her. Should I restrain her and take her away?"
Niu Youdao only said, "Take her away!"
"Princess, let's go!" Guan Fangyi grabbed Shang Shuqing's arm and wanted to drag him away.
It would've been better if she didn't make a move. Once she made a move, she was caught off guard. Pak! Guan Fangyi's butt was kicked. She immediately turned around and saw Silver 'Er glaring at her angrily. She seemed to be blaming her for bullying Shang Shuqing. Then, she kicked Silver's butt.
"Let go of Qingqing!" Silver 'Er glared at her. With food in her mouth, she gave a muffled and stern warning and spat out some food.
Guan Fangyi's expression twitched. She was shocked and subconsciously let go of Shang Shuqing. She dared to anger anyone but not this Demon King. Once this Demon King got angry, the consequences would be dire. He would even kill his own people. She didn't have that many Heaven Sword Talismans to protect her life!
If not for that, they wouldn't have to worry about outsiders invading this place. The key was that this Demon King was really unreliable. She couldn't count on him!
Niu Youdao pointed at Silver 'Er. "What are you doing? Listen to me and leave!"
Silver 'Er looked at Shang Shuqing who didn't want to leave. She immediately stiffened her neck and said, "I'm not leaving!"
"You …" Niu Youdao was speechless. He was also afraid of this Demon King and didn't dare to use force. He could only use coaxing.
The man in the flowery robe was a little surprised. He couldn't help but look at Silver 'Er. Why did he feel that Niu Youdao didn't have much confidence in front of this good-for-nothing woman?
"Daoye, I'm not afraid." Shang Shuqing quickly said. His eyes were begging and his tone was even a little pleading.
Seeing that the Thatched Cottage Villa was on guard and Niu Youdao's words in the morning, she knew that it was not a small matter.
She had stayed in this villa for more than a day or two. She knew this place very well. This was Niu Youdao's old nest. There were cultivators from three sects guarding it. She had never seen the atmosphere in the Thatched Cottage Villa as tense as it was today.
In the past, she often heard news of Niu Youdao in danger, but she was helpless. Now, it might be happening right in front of her …
Niu Youdao looked at her waist and realized that she had even brought her sword. One of her hands was holding the sword hilt tightly. He couldn't help but feel angry and amused at the same time. However, when he met her serious eyes, he couldn't get angry or laugh. Instead, he frowned.
At this moment, Lei Zongkang said, "Daoye, Huang Lie is here."
Niu Youdao turned around and saw that Duan Hu had invited Huang Lie and his group over.
Turning around again, Niu Youdao walked towards Shang Shuqing. He looked down and met Shang Shuqing's eyes at close range. "You are a princess. If you insist on staying here, I won't force you. However, you are a smart person. You should know that if something happens, the sword in your hand will not only be useless, but it will also become a burden. You can stay, but if things get out of control and I ask you to leave, you have to listen to me. Do you understand? "
Shang Shuqing bit her lips. The other party had already taken a step back. She knew that if she didn't agree, he would probably ask her to leave right now. She had no choice but to nod and agree. "Alright!"
Niu Youdao immediately turned to Guan Fangyi and gestured with his head.
Guan Fangyi understood what he meant. Once things got out of control, she would be responsible for bringing Shang Shuqing away. She nodded knowingly.
There seemed to be something in the eyes of the man in the flowery robe. Occasionally, he would glance at Shang Shuqing's face.
Huang Lie went upstairs. His gaze swept across the people in the loft. He first nodded to Shang Shuqing as a greeting. Then, he turned to Niu Youdao and chuckled. "Little Brother, I heard that a great gift has arrived. I couldn't wait and specially came to take a look!"
Niu Youdao smiled. "It should be here soon. Sect Leader Huang, please wait for a moment."
"Oh!" Huang Lie nodded. He had waited for a few days already. He didn't mind waiting a little longer. Moreover, he had something to say. He walked in front of Niu Youdao and said, "Little Brother mentioned the matter of moving to Nanzhou's capital yesterday. I thought about it for Little Brother and felt that it was better for Little Brother not to go to the capital."
Shang Shuqing, who was at the side, was startled when he heard this. He revealed an expression of listening attentively.
Niu Youdao raised his eyebrows. "Could it be that Sect Leader Huang wishes for me to die early?"
"Ai, your words make me blush with shame. That is not the case!" Huang Lie waved his hand. "For Little Brother's safety, Little Brother can go to my Great Zen Mountain Sect. There are many elites of Great Zen Mountain there, and there are even elders and experts there. It is safer than the capital. Is Little Brother at ease with my arrangements? "
Niu Youdao didn't deny it. He suddenly changed the topic. "I recently received news that Great Zen Mountain is unhappy because I am moving to the capital. They want to collude with the Imperial Court to kill me. What does Sect Leader Huang think?"
Once he said this, Shang Shuqing's heart jumped. Was today's matter related to Great Zen Mountain?
The expressions of everyone from Great Zen Mountain darkened. They instinctively looked around, worried that this invitation was a trap.
Huang Lie was wary of the surroundings. He said in a low voice, "Who is spreading rumors? Little Brother, do you believe such words to sow discord? "
