The death of Chen Shaotong's army had a huge impact on the Song Kingdom.
To be more precise, the shadow that Meng Shanming had brought to the Song Kingdom had once again appeared in the sky above the Song Kingdom.
The people in the Song Kingdom talked about the humiliation that Meng Shanming had brought to the Song Kingdom, but this time, it was even more painful than before.
Winning or losing a war would not be blamed on the enemy being too strong. Furthermore, the enemy was not strong. Furthermore, it was the Song Kingdom that started the war. Furthermore, it was the Song Kingdom that invaded the Yan Kingdom first. It could only be said that the Song Kingdom had a strategic problem. As the Governor, Luo Zhao could not escape the blame.
Suddenly, the Imperial Court started to criticize Luo Zhao. They blamed him for underestimating the enemy and said that he should not underestimate Meng Shanming. Some even said that Meng Shan Ming started the massacre because he was provoked by Luo Zhao. They accused Luo Zhao of acting like an irresponsible three-year-old child, and said that Luo Zhao was acting like an irresponsible three-year-old.
Emperor Song was under a lot of pressure. He supported Luo Zhao's strategy, so he was the one who felt it the most.
Although they knew that Meng Shanming would not destroy the Song Kingdom, they could not guarantee that nothing would go wrong.
The three factions of the Song Kingdom were in a state of anxiety.
"What do you think?" Xi Hai Tang stood in the middle of the hall and looked around.
As soon as Yue Yuan left the hall, the three factions of the Yan Kingdom came to ask for an explanation. They had witnesses and material evidence. The Wan Shou Faction could not deny that they had been humiliated by Yue Yuan.
News also came from the Song Nation's Imperial Court. They were also demanding an explanation from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. They wanted to know exactly what was going on.
The hall was silent. Chao Jing suddenly said, "Leader, could it be that someone leaked the secret technique to avoid the beast wave?"
As soon as he said this, there was a commotion in the hall. There were not many people in the Wan Shou Faction who knew the secret technique.
Not everyone in the Wan Shou Clan was proficient in all kinds of secret arts, the disciples were divided into different categories, and each of them specialized in one particular art. This was mainly to prevent people from dabbling in all kinds of secret arts. Only a few of the disciples who specialized in these kinds of secret arts, and the elders who were present in the hall were qualified to dabble in all kinds of secret arts.
Chao Jing's words dragged all the elders into this matter.
Xi Hai Tang looked at him coldly and said, "Elder Chao, you cannot say things without evidence! There might be people in the outside world who know similar techniques. This isn't important right now. It won't be too late to investigate later. What we need to face now is an explanation from both sides.
The reason why the Wan Shou Faction chose to stay neutral and not participate in the war was because there was a debate when the Wan Shou Faction was established.
The result of the debate was that they were afraid that the Wan Shou Clan would become the public enemy of the entire cultivation world. So, they used some techniques to tame beasts to deal with ordinary people, but they wouldn't have much of an impact on cultivators. If the entire cultivation world were to surround and attack them, the Wan Shou Clan wouldn't be able to handle it. That's why the Wan Shou Sect chose to be neutral. It gave the other sects some peace of mind. They didn't want to develop their own forces, they wanted to focus on earning resources to strengthen themselves. That's why the Wan Shou Sect was where it was today.
Everyone was discussing this. The Wan Shou Faction's Sect. The Wan Sect wanted to stay neutral, but they wanted to make peace with the Kingdom. They had no choice but to. The Yan Sect did not have their own forces.
Although the three biggest sects of the Yan Kingdom were here to punish the Wan Shou Faction, they also wanted to reconcile with the Wan Shou Faction. The Wan Shou Faction had already achieved their goal.
Soon, they agreed to the Yan Sect's condition and did not participate in the war.
Their reply to the Kingdom of Song was that the Wan Shou Faction had always been neutral and did not participate in the war.
Yue Yuan got what he wanted and returned with satisfaction.
Chao Jing still suspected that someone had leaked the secret. He went to the Xihai Tang and asked him to investigate if there was anyone leaking the secret.
After Xihai Tang agreed, he summoned the elder Chou Shan and ordered him to investigate if there was anyone leaking the secret.
Not only Chou Shan, but a few other elders also received the same order.
West Sea Hall had hidden it from these elders who had participated in the secret investigation, and there were other people involved …
A hundred miles away from the Wan Shou Faction, two large flying beasts landed deep in the forest.
Niu Youdao kept his promise and sent Chao Shenghuai back. At the same time, Chen Ping, Gao Lan, Liu Dingan, and a few others who had participated in Chao Shenghuai's plan to create the plague and steal the birds. As for Qiu Wenxian, he had already been killed by Chao Jing.
"Brother Chao, take care." Duan Hu released the seal on Chao Shenghuai's body and smiled.
Chao Shenghuai moved his arms and said, "Tell Niu Youdao that if he does this again, don't blame me for being unjust! Don't think … "His voice stopped abruptly.
Before he could spit out the words, he was scared away by a few screams.
Chen Ping, Gao Lan, and Liu Dingan were lying in a pool of blood. Lei Zongkang and Wu San Liang shook off the blood on their swords and put them back into their sheaths.
"What are you doing?" Chao Shenghuai was terrified.
Duan Hu said, "Daoye is not someone who goes back on his words. He said he would help you get rid of them, so he will definitely do it. It's just a little late. As for the money, since Brother Chao doesn't want it anymore, Daoye won't force him. Anyway, this is the end of the matter. Is Brother Chao satisfied? "
His words sounded nice, but it was not that he wanted to help Chao Shenghuai kill them, it was that these people stayed in the secret place surrounded by poisonous miasma.
There were still secrets in that secret place. For example, Gao Jiancheng's son was still living in seclusion there. Niu Youdao knew that the secret place would be exposed sooner or later, but he didn't want it to be exposed too soon. Wan Shou Sect was different from other sects. They had many flying beasts that could carry people. If they knew the characteristics of the place, it would be easy for them to scout the location from the sky.
Chao Shenghuai didn't know what to say. He was having a headache about how to get rid of these people. He didn't expect that Duan Hu would suddenly help him get rid of them in front of him.
"Brother Chao, take care. Forgive me for not seeing you off." Duan Hu smiled, turned around and jumped on the flying beast with Lei Zongkang and Wu San Liang. They rode the flying beast and flew away.
Chao Shenghuai swallowed his saliva and looked around. He quickly took care of the corpses and left in a hurry.
He didn't know why Niu Youdao did this. He didn't know what happened when he was captured. He only understood what happened when he returned to Wan Shou Sect.
Niu Youdao used him to pry open his grandfather's whereabouts.
In a quiet room, Chao Jing was slapping Chao Shenghuai left and right. Chao Shenghuai's mouth and nose were bleeding. Chao Shenghuai's face looked like a pig's head, but he still couldn't quell his anger.
Chao Shenghuai wanted to hide the truth from Chao Shenghuai at first, but when he found out that Niu Youdao had found his grandfather, he was really scared. He immediately told Chao Shenghuai everything, including the assassination attempt on Messenger Song.
Chao Jing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. It turned out that the assassination attempt on Messenger Song was really his grandson's doing. His grandson had been lying to him all this time. Niu Youdao was also talking nonsense about the flying beasts. He said that Niu Youdao stole five flying beasts from Wan Shou Sect.
He also knew that Niu Youdao had already killed the He Brothers in the Illusory Butterfly Dream Dimension, and he didn't have any witnesses. It was laughable that he had been frightened by Qiu Wenxian and the things that Qiu Wenxian had said.
Chen Ping and the others didn't keep their promise to hand over the flying beasts to him because they had fulfilled their promise to his grandson. They killed Chen Ping and the others. This was not a big deal. They killed Chao Shenghuai in front of his grandson.
But Chao Jing was so angry that he wanted to kill Chao Shenghuai, but he didn't dare to do so in this situation. Killing Chao Shenghuai would arouse suspicion, so he could only beat Chao Shenghuai to vent his anger.
After beating Chao Shenghuai up, he told Chao Shenghuai to stay in the room and recuperate.
The reason was that he was afraid that Chao Shenghuai's injuries would arouse suspicion. But he couldn't hold back his anger. He had to beat Chao Shenghuai up.
After Chao Jing left, Chao Jing, who was struggling at death's door, heaved a sigh of relief.
After getting beaten up, he finally understood that the demon that pestered him had finally let him go. He was no longer of any value. That demon had changed people and was now pestering his grandfather. He never wanted to see Niu Youdao again. It was the first time in his life that he had experienced such a terrifying person …
In the forest, in a hot spring, Niu Youdao was bathing naked. He squinted his eyes and leaned against the shore. A wet cloth covered his face.
Guan Fangyi walked over and reported, "Duan Hu sent news that the matter has been settled."
Niu Youdao grunted and asked, "Is there any result from Monkey?"
Guan Fangyi said, "It's not like you don't know him. He won't tell me if he has something to say."
Niu Youdao said, "Ask him to come over."
Guan Fangyi left and soon returned with Yuan Gang. She also wanted to know the woman's identity.
With the wet cloth covering his face, Niu Youdao couldn't see his expression. He said in a muffled voice, "Did you pry open that woman's mouth?"
Yuan Gang was silent for a while and replied, "She insists that her name is Su Zhao. She's very tight-lipped about her background!"
Niu Youdao said, "General Meng's army has started to retreat. We have to leave too. If we really can't get any information out of her, then forget it. The war is going well. It's no longer important whether her background can be of use. I know you won't kill innocent people. If you can't do it, then let Hong Niang do it."
Yuan Gang understood what he meant. He couldn't keep an unsafe factor by his side. He hesitated and said, "Daoye, give me some more time."
Niu Youdao didn't say anything. Yuan Gang turned and left.
In the mist, Niu Youdao raised his hand and wiped the wet cloth off his face. He asked expressionlessly, "Didn't you torture her?"
Guan Fangyi adjusted her skirt and squatted at the side. "That woman looks fine from head to toe. I don't think she has suffered much. Monkey is being nice to her. If you really can't do it, if you don't want to force Monkey, just let her go. "
Niu Youdao splashed water on his body with a wet towel. "Let people know that I have been near the army? I don't even know who she is. How can I let her go now? If I could let her go, Monkey would have done it without me knowing. "
Guan Fangyi, who was squatting on the shore, couldn't help but look into the water. However, the mist made it difficult to see what was going on. She reached out and splashed some water on his shoulder. "What should we do? We can't keep her with us, right?"
