Guan Fangyi didn't know how to answer these questions, but she reminded him, "Not only you, I checked the name list, Ghost Mother and Yun Ji are also on it."
Niu Youdao was surprised, "Are they independent cultivators?"
Guan Fangyi asked back, "Are you independent cultivators?"
Niu Youdao was speechless. His situation was similar to that of Ghost Mother and Yun Ji. He also had a large group of subordinates gathered on a mountain. They couldn't be called Itinerant Cultivators, but they didn't belong to any sect. Strictly speaking, they were still Itinerant Cultivators.
Seeing that he was checking and confirming it, Guan Fangyi leaned over to help turn the pages and pointed out where the two names were.
Ghost Mother and Yun Ji's names were on the list, calming him down. He said in a low voice, "Contact Gong Lince, I want to see him, I want to know the situation on the list."
Guan Fangyi asked, "Is it safe for you to show up now?"
Niu Youdao said, "The Misty Pavilion has ordered a freeze on the war, and my name is on the list. This is a protective talisman, I'm afraid this is the safest time for me."
Guan Fangyi thought about it and agreed, "Wen Mo 'er is in our hands, she is Gong Lince's goddaughter, it should be safe for her to see him." Then she turned around and contacted Gong Lince.
Niu Youdao sat down, calmed himself down, and looked at the name list one by one. If he couldn't turn the situation around, he could only face it.
"Ximen Qingkong …" Niu Youdao murmured, he saw another name that surprised him.
Ximen Qingkong, the number one expert on the Pill List, was the bodyguard of Wei Guo's daughter, Xuan Wei. Even Ximen Qingkong was on the list, Wei Guo should have tried his best to stop Ximen Qingkong from getting on the list. Could it be that even Wei Guo couldn't stop him?
Seeing Ximen Qingkong on the list, Niu Youdao's suspicion towards Gong Lince lessened a little …
Gong Lince didn't return to the battlefield, nor did he return to Meng Shanming's side. The war was frozen, so Gong Lince returned to the Purple Golden Cave after leaving the Misty Pavilion.
"The Sect Master wants you to meet him at the Purple Gold Cave. He said that he has something important to tell you." Wen Mo 'er, who had helped him contact Niu Youdao, informed him.
Niu Youdao was deep in thought when Guan Fangyi came. After sending Wen Mo 'er away, she handed over a letter. "The Prince should know about this and wants to see you."
After Niu Youdao received the letter and read it, he instructed, "After the war is frozen, let them decide what to do. I believe they have a sense of propriety as to what is best for Nanzhou. I still have things to deal with now, so let's talk about the meeting later. Before entering the Secret Territory of Tiandu, I will go and see them. "
Guan Fangyi nodded and knew how to reply.
At this time, Yuan Gang came again and handed a secret letter to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao took a look and saw that it was a letter from Yu Cang. Yu Cang requested to meet him again, and it was clearly about the matter of the Secret Realm of Tiandu.
The corner of Niu Youdao's mouth showed a hint of self-deprecation. "It seems that this person is still quite concerned about me."
When he heard about the ranking list, he quickly thought of Yu Cang, hoping to have more assurance from the Waning Moon Pavilion. Seeing this letter, even if Yu Cang didn't enter the Secret Realm of Tiandu, he would at least have some confidence.
As for why Yu Cang would care about him, he naturally knew. He wouldn't wake up early without benefits.
"You arrange the time and place to meet him. Calculate the time, and when I come back from the Purple Gold Cave, I will go and see him directly." Niu Youdao said casually.
Right now, he had to go see Gong Lince and find out exactly what had happened in the Misty Pavilion. The rumors outside might not be reliable. Only by finding out the source of the situation and knowing how much trouble he had to deal with, would he be able to deal with all kinds of people and things. Otherwise, it would be easy for him to be fooled by others when he didn't have enough information.
"Okay!" Yuan Gang nodded. Knowing that Daoye was going to the Secret Realm of Tiandu, his heart was very heavy.
Niu Youdao turned around and ordered Guan Fangyi, "Contact Chao Jing, I want to verify what happened in the Misty Pavilion."
Didn't you want to verify with Gong Lince? Guan Fangyi was about to say this, but she immediately understood. This was not a small matter, they couldn't just listen to one side of the story. Daoye needed to verify the truth from many sources. The Wan Shou Clan's Xi Haitang was also a participant of the Misty Pavilion, Chao Jing should be able to find out the truth.
Guan Fangyi could see that Daoye had calmed down, unlike when he first got the list of names, he had quickly changed his perspective and was dealing with the situation in an orderly manner.
After everything was settled, he summoned a large bird and was about to go to the Purple Gold Cave.
Wen Mo 'er wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Guan Fangyi. "You don't need to go, just stay here." As she said this, she gave Uncle Chen and the others a look.
Uncle Chen and the others nodded, Guan Fangyi had already told them before, to prevent Gong Lince from acting rashly, they had to keep Wen Mo 'er as a hostage.
As for what Wen Mo 'er thought, it wasn't important. Since things had come to this, Niu Youdao's safety was everyone's priority. No one here would care about whether Wen Mo 'er was happy or not, no matter how beautiful she was, if she really wanted to kill her, no one here would blink an eye.
Today, Niu Youdao was everyone's representative, Niu Youdao was the person steering the ship, if something happened to Niu Youdao, no one could control the direction of this ship, no one had the ability to control it, and no one could control the situation in the South Plains. The waves outside were very dangerous, if they couldn't see the direction clearly, the ship could easily hit the rocks and sink.
Still accompanied by Guan Fangyi and Second Brother Wu, the three of them jumped on a large flying beast, instantly soared into the sky, and flew into the distance …
Zijin Cave, this sect's name had nothing to do with the terrain, nor did it have anything to do with the cultivation method practiced, it was said that it had something to do with the place where the founder of Zijin Cave lived.
The sect had developed to this point, it had already moved several times, and had long left the place where the founder founded the sect.
It was different from the Shangqing Sect, Shangqing Sect was once the largest sect in the Yan Country, it originally occupied a treasured place with good feng shui, and was reluctant to abandon it, for it would let down the ancestors.
Zijin Cave's development process was getting better and better, naturally, the place of migration was also getting better and better, so there was no shame in abandoning the old place.
The place where Zijin Cave was now located, it was one of the few places with good spiritual energy in the Yan Country.
The scenery was beautiful, and the buildings were built on the mountain, not to mention, Niu Youdao was not in the mood to appreciate these things.
Riding on a flying beast, he did not follow the rules of the sect, but directly trespassed into the main hall of Zijin Cave, an important place. After being intercepted and questioned by the patrolling disciples who were riding on flying beasts in the air, they were immediately allowed to go after learning that it was Niu Youdao.
The flying beast landed, and Second Brother Wu stayed behind to watch over it, and at the same time, he was responsible for communicating with the outside world.
Niu Youdao and Guan Fangyi went straight to the main hall of Zijin Cave, with a disciple leading the way.
They did not directly enter the main hall, as it was unexpected, so they waited outside the hall for a while.
After a while, Gong Lince came with a group of Zijin Cave's higher-ups, and met with Niu Youdao outside the main hall.
Many people had not seen Niu Youdao before, but Gong Lince had. When he was in Wanshou Sect, Niu Youdao had visited him with Guan Fangyi.
"It's not easy to see you, you finally showed up." Gong Lince smiled slightly, as if it was a joke.
After Niu Youdao cupped his fists and greeted everyone, he replied with a smile, "Sect Leader Gong did not summon me, so I did not dare to disturb you."
Gong Lince raised his eyebrows slightly, he was not wrong, it was one thing to look for him, but there was no need to directly summon him by decree.
The problem was, they could not even find him, and Niu Youdao was obviously hiding from them, was there a need for Gong Lince to issue such a decree? If he did not come, wouldn't he be slapping his own face?
"Now that you mention it, it's my fault, you are indeed sharp-tongued," Gong Lince chuckled. It was not a good place to talk outside, there might be some unfavorable eyes and ears, so he gestured for them to go inside to talk.
Niu Youdao followed beside them, he said as he walked, "I am about to become one of you, I believe that you will not stoop to my level for what happened in the past."
The group of elders exchanged glances, Gong Lince's intention had been reported to them.
There were some people who were dissatisfied with Gong Lince's method of sacrificing Wen Mo 'er to fight for Nanzhou, among them were old singles who coveted Wen Mo' er's beauty.
However, no one dared to oppose or criticize Gong Lince on the issue of women, the benefits of roping in Nanzhou were too great, it involved the benefits of many people in the sect, all dissatisfaction had to be yielded, otherwise it would be against the overall benefits of the sect, not to mention Gong Lince, the others would not agree.
Not only did no one object, but they also approved of Gong Lince's method.
The situation was different from when Long Xiu used Yi Shu. Yi Shu was Long Xiu's last disciple, while Gong Lince adopted his adopted daughter based on his ability to assess the situation and adapt to the situation. In comparison, there was a difference between using underhanded means and using unscrupulous means.
Although they were both unscrupulous in the end, everyone's reactions would be different when the consequences were out. One would only be regarded as having a brilliant method, while the other would have a bad reputation. This was also the reason why Long Xiu did not dare to make it public.
Gong Lince walked to the main seat and said, "Whether you can become one of us or not depends on whether you can come back alive from the Secret Realm of Heaven Capital."
A group of Elders stood on the left and right, many of them were also secretly observing Niu Youdao. Many people were somewhat uncomfortable that such a young man would become an Elder of Purple Golden Cave.
Niu Youdao stood with his sword, looked around at the crowd, and said with a smile, "With the power of Purple Golden Cave, I'm sure they can guarantee my safe return."
Gong Lince shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. Do you know how many people in Misty Pavilion want to kill you? Thirty sect leaders, none of them recommended by any country. When the results came out, twelve of them recommended you, and twelve of them wanted to send you to the Secret Realm of Heaven Capital. Don't you understand what this means? It means that there are at least twelve forces that want to kill you. My Purple Golden Cave can't fight against so many forces, not even Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain. Now you should know how big of a trouble you've encountered, right? "
Niu Youdao was surprised. He didn't expect that he could be targeted by so many big shots of Misty Pavilion. He immediately asked, "Who nominated me?"
Gong Lince said, "I don't know. It's an anonymous nomination. Everyone's name is collected and recorded by the Misty Pavilion. No one knows who nominated who."
Niu Youdao said in a deep voice, "Sect Leader Gong has the right to speak, why didn't you stop it?"
"I tried to stop it, but I couldn't …" Gong Lince told him the details of the recommendation. It was necessary to tell him so as to avoid misunderstanding.
This was the true details of what had happened in the Misty Pavilion. Normally, the participants would not spread the details of what had happened in the Misty Pavilion, including the higher-ups of the various sects. At most, they would mention what had happened in general. This was the reason why Niu Youdao wanted to come.
Because the Misty Pavilion placed Gongsun Bu by his side, he wanted to confirm whether the matter was directly related to this.
