Early the next morning, after the State of Wei's men rearranged themselves, they started to move, preparing for a new day of searching.
Niu Youdao and the others were dragging their feet, it was obvious that they didn't want to leave the State of Wei's protection.
"Niu Youdao, Master wants to remind you that you don't have to follow us. It's useless even if you follow us. If you anger us and meet your enemies, don't blame us if they can't control their mouths and reveal your whereabouts."
The warning was also a threat, so Yao Xianding sent his disciples over to advise him.
Such a warning wasn't too much, it was already good enough that he had the patience to talk to Niu Youdao.
Of course, it was also related to Niu Youdao's intimidation. He had started a massacre in the Heaven Valley, the Heaven Sword Talisman in his hand wasn't just for show.
Moreover, Wu Zhaoxing was by his side, if things went too far and they started to fight, the State of Wei would have to pay a certain price.
This was the prerequisite for the State of Wei to talk nicely.
In short, the State of Wei's three major sects didn't want too many factions to gather around them just because of one Niu Youdao, it would be very troublesome if something happened, so they didn't want Niu Youdao to follow them.
Niu Youdao and the others watched as the State of Wei's cultivators left. Their pitiful looks caused many cultivators to mock them.
Wu Zhaoxing and the others could tell from their reactions that they were looking down on Niu Youdao, looking at Niu Youdao as if he was a dog wagging its tail and begging for pity.
Yun Ji asked Niu Youdao, "You're used to calling the wind and summoning the rain in South State, now that you're here, you must feel bad about the difference, right?"
Niu Youdao said calmly, "Do you think I care about this?"
Yun Ji, "You really don't care at all?"
Niu Youdao smiled, "How can a sparrow know the ambitions of a great swan!" He stared at He Xinru's direction.
The reason why he stayed behind to watch people mock him was to confirm He Xinru's direction, so that there wouldn't be any trouble later.
After the people of Weiguo had left, Niu Youdao had no intention of following them. He entered the valley where the core of Weiguo's three major sects resided.
Niu Youdao carefully examined the traces left behind in the valley, hoping to find some valuable clues.
In the end, they did not find any useful clues. However, it did not matter. Niu Youdao wanted to wait anyway. It was not appropriate to follow them now.
About four hours later, Niu Youdao led the group out of the valley and headed in the direction where He Xinru had disappeared.
To Wu Zhaoxing and the rest, the facts proved that there were indeed Niu Youdao's men on Weiguo's side. They also saw signs similar to those left behind by Xu Fuhua and followed the signs.
At noon, the group caught up with He Xinru.
Just as He Xinru had said, there were five people in their group.
When both parties met, He Xinru's fellow disciple said impolitely, "Niu Youdao, why are you following us? I advise you not to ignore Weiguo's warning. Otherwise, you will only be humiliating yourself! "
He Xinru was not a disciple of Weiguo's three major sects. Among the disciples of Weiguo's three major sects, there were no disciples from Waning Moon Pavilion.
The reason why his fellow disciple could speak to Niu Youdao in such a tone was naturally because of what he had seen and heard. He already had the feeling that he was looking down on Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao did not pay attention to him. He only observed He Xinru's reaction.
He Xinru seemed to be struggling in his heart. However, in the end, he nodded slightly.
After receiving the safety signal and confirming that there were no other cultivators of Weiguo nearby, Niu Youdao held his sword in front of him and said calmly, "Hurry up, do it!"
When they heard this, the people on the other side immediately became alert and panicked. After all, Wu Zhaoxing was here.
However, there was a sudden change. A cold light flashed in He Xinru's hand, causing blood to splatter and two screams to be heard.
He Xinru, who had suddenly launched a sneak attack, knocked down two people with a single strike. He quickly retreated, startling his fellow disciples into turning around to deal with him.
After confirming who was on their side, Wu Zhaoxing, Yun Ji, and her son quickly dashed out and attacked at the same time.
The three of them attacked with fatal moves. They did not show any mercy, causing a wave of panic.
As Niu Youdao had said, they had to move quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble from the commotion of the battle.
The strong wind from the battle swept over. Niu Youdao's clothes fluttered in the wind, but he was indifferent. He stood there expressionlessly with his sword in his hand. He looked on coldly from the sidelines as if it had nothing to do with him. At the same time, he coldly observed his surroundings for any abnormalities.
Just as he usually said, he did not like to fight and kill.
If someone was fighting and someone else was doing it for him, he would not attack easily.
If a problem could be solved with his mouth, he would not attack.
If a problem could be solved with his brain, he would not attack. Perhaps, he would not even bother to move his mouth.
He had always thought that fighting and killing was too dangerous. No matter how good he was at fighting, it was useless! His many years of experience in the Jianghu told him that a horse would always stumble. Who knew if he would meet someone who was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger? For example, someone like him who was hiding his strength.
A loud rumble sounded. The battle started suddenly and ended quickly. With someone like Wu Zhaoxing taking action, the result of the battle was obvious.
The battle ended quickly. He Xinru's fellow disciples were all lying in a pool of blood. Only He Xinru, who had an ugly expression on his face, was still standing.
"Be on guard." Niu Youdao raised his hand that was resting on the hilt of his sword and called out. His tone was calm and serene.
Seeing a few people fall to the ground, he did not even blink. It was as if the people who fell to the ground were just weeds. At the very least, there was no change in his expression.
After finishing the fight, Wu Zhaoxing and the other two looked at each other. They understood what he meant. He wanted them to retreat. Hearing his words, they retreated to a nearby area to be on guard.
His gaze swept across the corpses of his fellow disciples. When he looked up, he saw Niu Youdao staring coldly at him. He Xinru could sense the other's hidden viciousness. He felt a chill in his heart, but he still walked over.
Niu Youdao stared at him coldly, not saying a word.
He Xinru's lips quivered. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why did you kill them? If I kill them, I will be exposed. I won't be able to explain myself when I return. "
Niu Youdao said, "I want you to explain yourself when you return. That's why I killed them. You can go back now and report that you were robbed and killed by those people from overseas. "
He Xinru did not understand. "I have to know why, right? Otherwise, I won't know how to respond and will easily be exposed."
This was a matter of great importance. Niu Youdao would not, and could not, tell him the truth. Otherwise, if something went wrong here, it might implicate Xu Fuhua, and it was very likely that his entire plan would be ruined. There were some things that could not withstand consecutive comparisons.
This was his first time meeting the other party, so he did not know anything about them. Even if he observed them calmly, he would not be able to confirm anything.
Therefore, he only needed to pressure the other party to carry out his plan. He did not need the other party to know too much.
No matter how much the other party knew, it would not be of any help to his plan. Thus, he shook his head and said, "It's not that complicated. You don't need to think too much about it. I won't make you do anything complicated. Just frame the cultivators from overseas. If you don't know anything, just push the blame onto them. It's a very simple matter. I don't think I need to teach you how to do such a small matter, right? "
At this point, even though He Xinru really wanted to know what was going on, there was no need to ask any further. He nodded silently.
After giving him his contact details, Niu Youdao reminded him, "It's not appropriate for you to go back clean. Dress yourself up and use your sword!" He reached out for the sword in his hand.
He Xinru roughly understood what he meant. He turned the hilt around and handed it to him.
Niu Youdao swung the sword. He Xinru closed his eyes and felt the weight on his head loosen. The scabbard in his hand trembled.
He did not feel any pain. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his sword had returned to its scabbard. His hair fluttered in the wind.
He raised his hand to touch his head. Only then did he realize that Niu Youdao had only used his sword to cut off his hair. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He thought that he would have to suffer some physical pain.
"That's about it." Niu Youdao's tone was calm. He nodded and sent him off. "You've worked hard. You can go now."
"After reporting back, they might come to investigate. I'll take care of it." He Xinru pointed at the corpse on the ground. He wanted to disguise the scene.
Niu Youdao said, "You have more important things to do. You don't have to worry about such a small matter. Someone will take care of it."
The disheveled He Xinru nodded. He cupped his hands and bid farewell. He quickly left in a flash.
Niu Youdao turned around and waved. Wu Zhaoxing and the others returned. Yun Huan was the one who cleaned up the scene.
What sworn brother? Making a sworn brother do this? Is there anyone who orders a sworn brother around like a servant?
Yun Huan muttered to himself. However, ever since Niu Youdao and his mother became acquainted, he never mentioned the matter of him becoming sworn brothers with Niu Youdao again. If he mentioned it, it would be annoying. The seniority in the family was a little messy and annoying.
After cleaning up the scene of the fight, Niu Youdao and the others immediately left the scene and hid.
Wu Zhaoxing and the others still couldn't figure out what he was doing. Previously, he asked Xu Fuhua to kill a fellow disciple. This time, he did the same thing.
Both times, Niu Youdao asked them to leave. They didn't hear the conversation between Niu Youdao and the spies. Otherwise, they would have been able to figure out what Niu Youdao was trying to do.
At this moment, their biggest suspicion was that Niu Youdao wanted to stir up internal strife among the various countries. He wanted to muddy the waters so that he could fish in troubled waters.
Even if they asked, Niu Youdao wasn't willing to reveal the truth. There was no point in asking further, so they didn't probe further.
In the beginning, Niu Youdao would still reveal some things clearly to them. However, as the matter progressed and the hearts of the people calmed down, he returned to his style of not revealing his trump cards easily. The progress of the matter was firmly in his hands. He didn't want to be easily influenced by others.
Everyone had different opinions. When faced with the same matter, they would have different understandings. This person felt that this was the best way to do it, that person felt that it was the best way to do it. It was hard to tell who was stupid and who was stupid. The more stupid a person was, the smarter they thought they were.
Niu Youdao felt that there was no need to compare the difference in intelligence. He didn't want to waste his energy to persuade or argue with others. It was easy to create gaps in the argument. If he could control it, he would try his best to control it.
In terms of rhythm, he knew when to advance and when to retreat. He controlled it well. Even if he didn't make it clear, Wu Zhaoxing and the others couldn't have any complaints.
