First of all, he left everything within his capabilities to Yuan Gang. He could rest assured. He knew what kind of person Yuan Gang was, and there would be no problems.
Secondly, if there was no evidence, Yuan Gang would not report it to him in detail. If he did not have a certain grasp of the situation, Yuan Gang would not easily distract him, lest it affected his energy. A person's energy was always limited, especially in the current situation.
However, Niu Youdao was still moved by Guan Fangyi's "tip off."
Large-scale birds were not ordinary items. They were expensive, and the price would be astronomical if they were damaged. There were only three people in the entire Thatched Cottage Villa who had the authority to use them. Other than Niu Youdao, they were Guan Fangyi and Yuan Gang. Guan Fangyi's sudden mention of this was definitely not because she had used her authority. Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang would not easily accept Guan Fangyi's orders. The target was clear, and it was definitely Yuan Gang's doing.
It was not that he did not trust Yuan Gang. He had absolute trust in Yuan Gang. Niu Youdao was just curious as to why Yuan Gang was secretly using the Red Hunting Eagle.
He had already realized that it was definitely not an ordinary matter. Otherwise, it would have been enough to use the Black Jade Condor. There was no need to use the more valuable Red Hunting Eagle.
Guan Fangyi didn't mean anything by it. Although Yuan Gang had the authority to use the large flying beasts, the large flying beasts in the Thatched Cottage Villa belonged to her on the surface. Using her things naturally couldn't be hidden from her. She didn't realize that it was Yuan Gang's personal behavior. She thought that Niu Youdao was up to something again in the dark, so she asked.
Because of her words, Niu Youdao temporarily ignored her and went to Yuan Gang's courtyard.
Yuan Gang was squatting in the courtyard to train his body. He was squatting there motionlessly, like a stone statue.
The familiar sound of a sword was heard. Yuan Gang opened his eyes to take a look, but he was still squatting motionlessly.
Niu Youdao stopped in front of Yuan Gang. He placed his hands in front of his sword and stared at the other party. He could tell that Yuan Gang had something on his mind. Otherwise, this person would look like he was puffing clouds and spitting out smoke when he was squatting in the horse stance. Clearly, he was a little distracted now. He asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Yuan Gang asked in return, "Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang?"
Niu Youdao nodded.
Slowly, Yuan Gang exhaled a long breath and stood up. He thought about what he should say. Finally, he said slowly, "There is a Golden Wing of unknown origin that is connected to Gongsun Bu. I noticed it after the attack on the villa last time, but my reaction was too slow. It just appeared again. This time, it's prepared for a quick counterattack. "
Niu Youdao immediately understood. Monkey had sent people to chase after the golden wing and investigate its background. He couldn't help but frown. "You suspect that there's something wrong with Gongsun Bu?"
After all these years of observation, he did not think that Gongsun Bu had any problems. He still had some confidence in his eyes and judgment. There was no need for Gongsun Bu to betray him. Without him, it would be difficult for Mount Five Liang to have a better future. As a sect leader, he must understand this.
Yuan Gang said, "I just want to confirm it. It's also my responsibility to him."
Niu Youdao asked, "When did this happen?"
The conversation between the two didn't need to be so clear. They could understand each other's meaning. Yuan Gang knew that he was asking when he suspected Gongsun Bu. He then told him about Baili Jie's sudden visit and how he felt that Gongsun Bu was a little strange, so he activated the internal spies of Mount Five Liang.
Niu Youdao only now knew that Yuan Gang had secretly planted a group of people in Mount Five Liang. Yuan Gang did not tell him about this in advance. Niu Youdao did not mind this. Yuan Gang knew what to do. When he didn't know what to do, Yuan Gang would ask him for help.
In this regard, Niu Youdao would not interfere. Yuan Gang had the freedom to do what he wanted.
After a moment of silence, Niu Youdao reminded him, "If there is no evidence, it's still one of us. You have to control yourself."
"Okay." Yuan Gang nodded. He understood what Niu Youdao meant. The intelligence network of Thatched Cottage Villa was basically under the control of Mount Five Liang. If they attacked the leader of Mount Five Liang, once the matter was exposed, it would have a great impact.
Niu Youdao reminded him again, "By the way, pay attention to the internal affairs of Mount Five Liang. If anything happens, see who can stabilize the situation in Mount Five Liang."
He knew that Yuan Gang was not a meddlesome person. He also believed in Yuan Gang's keen and extraordinary professionalism. In this aspect, Yuan Gang was far better than him. Since Gongsun Bu was targeted by Yuan Gang, he had to make other plans. If something happened to Gongsun Bu, someone from within Mount Five Liang had to come out and take charge of the situation. He could not let the intelligence network that had been operating for so many years collapse just like that. It was not easy to get things on the right track, and he did not know how long it would take to run it again.
Yuan Gang nodded again, "I know what I'm doing."
Since he already knew what he was doing, Niu Youdao did not say anything more. He turned around with his sword and left, leaving Yuan Gang to deal with it himself …
After leaving a certain range of the Thatched Cottage Villa, they no longer had to worry about being seen by others. A real chase in the sky began.
They had no choice but to take action. The sky was getting dark. Once it was dark, they would not be able to see anything.
The Red Hunting Eagle flapped its wings with all its might and began to increase its speed. It flew at full speed, chasing the black dot in the sky ahead. A golden wing gradually appeared in Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang's vision.
As it got closer, the golden wing seemed to have noticed the ferocious bird's pursuit. It was so frightened that it sped up. However, it still could not outrun the Red Hunting Eagle's speed.
When the golden wing dived down, Lei Zongkang leaped and glided down from the sky in pursuit. In the end, he grabbed the golden wing in his hand. Then, he balanced the wings and slowed down his descent. The Red Hunting Eagle swooped down and flapped its wings to catch him.
After landing on the Red Hunting Eagle's back, Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang looked at each other. The latter quickly took out a small porcelain bottle, pulled out the stopper, and dipped a finger into it. He dipped it into a transparent paste, brushed aside the feathers on the back of the golden wing, and smeared it under the feathers.
This was given to them by Yuan Gang. He had gotten it from the Waning Moon Pavilion.
Knowing that Niu Youdao was being hunted by the Waning Moon Pavilion, Yuan Gang learned that the Waning Moon Pavilion had this colorless and odorless tracking item. For someone like Yuan Gang who was good at tracking and anti-tracking, he could not miss this opportunity. Since he had asked for it, the Waning Moon Pavilion would probably give him face. After Yuan Gang informed Niu Youdao, he immediately asked the Waning Moon Pavilion for it in the name of Niu Youdao. As expected, he got it.
The good thing about this item was that it was colorless and odorless. It was better than the scent-seeking bird's scent, and it had a longer lasting effect. It was a secret recipe unique to the Waning Moon Pavilion.
After smearing it, Wu Sanliang gestured for Lei Zongkang to let it fly.
Lei Zongkang hesitated. He pouted at the tube at the feet of the golden wing that carried the secret letter and asked, "Why don't we just open it and take a look? Maybe we can find the answer to our questions!"
Wu Sanliang shook his head. "Let's not do that. Master Yuan has instructed us not to touch this thing easily. Maybe there's a spy device inside that we don't know about. Once we touch it, it'll be bad."
"Spy device?" Lei Zongkang was suspicious. It was the first time he had heard of this term, but he could roughly understand what it meant.
Wu Sanliang nodded and continued, "Master Yuan also said that if there's any secret letter, there's no way to decipher the contents of the secret letter without a large number of secret letters with the same symbol to compare. It's useless to open it and read it. Therefore, we shouldn't touch this thing to avoid alerting the enemy."
Lei Zongkang nodded slowly. "That makes sense. Master Yuan is indeed thoughtful. Since Master Yuan has said so, we should be careful." After saying that, he loosened his arms and released the golden wing that he had caught.
The golden wing that had escaped the devil's claws quickly flapped its wings and flew away.
Yuan Gang did not let the two of them follow it closely.
Wu Sanliang quickly treated his finger that had been stained with the transparent paste. After that, the two of them prepared to disguise themselves on the Red Hunter Eagle.
When everything was ready, Wu Sanliang took out a small mouse-like animal from a leather pouch at his waist. It was called the Blind Mouse.
It had gray fur, small eyes, and a big pink nose. It sniffed the air again and again.
The Thatched Cottage Villa hosted a banquet to entertain the guests. The guests talked for a long time while the two of them in the distant sky searched under the stars and the moon. Sometimes, they encountered lightning and dark clouds.
Yuan Gang acted as usual. Duan Hu waited quietly in the villa. Yuan Gang's task was to inform him immediately if there was any news.
When the first rays of dawn appeared in the sky, Lei Zongkang and Wu Sanliang looked at each other. They were all too familiar with this place. It was actually Star picking City!
After a brief discussion, as they neared Star picking City, Wu Sanliang leaped down and glided toward the city.
Lei Zongkang steered the Red Hunter Eagle in a different direction and looked for a place to hide. At the same time, he had to feed the Red Hunter Eagle and restore its strength.
The place where the Red Hunter Eagle was resting made Lei Zongkang feel rather emotional. It was in a forest outside the wilderness. Years ago, there had been a conflict in this area, and he had even been injured by Niu Youdao. Now that everyone was safe and sound, it proved that the leader of the group had made the right decision. However, the leader of the group, who had made the decision to follow Niu Youdao, was now in eternal slumber underground.
In Star picking City, Wu Sanliang, who had changed his appearance, wandered around the city. He held the Blind Mouse in his sleeve and secretly followed the Blind Mouse's lead.
Finally, Wu Sanliang stopped in front of a shop with the signboard of "Shunfeng Hall". He was no stranger to this shop. It was similar to an escort agency in the secular world. It was a place where people ran errands in exchange for money.
He entered the Shunfeng Hall directly to observe and pretended to ask the shopkeeper about the price of running errands.
However, he felt somewhat helpless. As far as he knew, there were neither too many nor too few people in the Shunfeng Hall. It would be inappropriate for him to ask directly and alert the enemy.
After chatting with the shopkeeper for a while, a person walked out from the back of the hall. The person was obviously wearing a mask. As he passed by, the Blind Mouse in Wu Sanliang's sleeve moved slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
Wu Sanliang suddenly realized that the Blind Mouse's movement was not without reason. The person just now must have been very close to the special smell on the Golden Wing. It was very likely that the person's body had been contaminated by the smell, thus causing the Blind Mouse's misperception.
After a few words, Wu Sanliang tried to bargain, causing the shopkeeper to shake his head. The shopkeeper said that the Shunfeng Hall had a clear price and did not bargain.
Wu Sanliang took the opportunity to fling his sleeves and leave. As soon as he left the Shunfeng Hall, he quickly looked around and caught sight of a figure walking away from the crowd. He immediately followed it.
There was nothing he could do about the Shunfeng Hall, so he could only focus on one target.
After following him for a while in the crowd, he found that the target had entered the largest pill shop in the cultivation world, the Spirit Sect's shop.
Wu Sanliang walked to the entrance of the Spirit Sect's shop and looked inside. He found that the target seemed to be buying something. Wu Sanliang did not dare to enter because he had just met the target in the Shunfeng Hall. If they met again, it would arouse the target's suspicions.
At this moment, the tracking and anti-tracking techniques that Yuan Gang had trained the three of them came in handy. It seemed a little ridiculous.
