Wu Zhaoxing and the others, who were waiting in boredom, suddenly woke up. Because of this sentence, the three of them suddenly woke up from their dreams.
All of them stared at Niu Youdao and instantly felt the dangerous aura coming from him. They all felt that this person was very dangerous and scary!
Being forced into a desperate situation, he did not show the slightest bit of fear. Instead, he remained calm and knew when to advance or retreat.
He was obviously facing the threat of the various countries, but he did not seem to have any awareness in this aspect.
Because of his words, the three of them realized that the situation seemed to be the exact opposite. It gave them a misconception that the situation seemed to be reversed. This person seemed to be going against the current, like a venomous snake, hiding in the shadows and observing the powers of the various countries.
His previous series of actions were more like an evil wolf staring at the various countries' forces. How could he have the awareness of being forced into a desperate situation?
"We can follow them now …" Niu Youdao turned around and realized something was wrong. He touched his face and did not find anything abnormal. He couldn't help but be shocked. "Why are you all staring at me like that?"
The three of them could not describe the feeling they had just now. They could not explain it clearly. Anyway, it was a sudden and inexplicable feeling.
Niu Youdao was also puzzled by them. He raised his hand to touch his face several times but did not find anything wrong.
After that, the group continued to follow the Zhao Kingdom's people.
In the Fufang Garden of the Qi Capital, Zhuang Hong and her son, who were imprisoned again, watched Yu Cang leave.
Yu Cang met Dugu Jing who was coming out of the courtyard. He saw the hint from his disciple and knew that he had something important to report.
The two did not say anything and walked quickly to their own rooms in the courtyard. Yu Cang turned around and asked, "What is it?"
Dugu Jing nodded. "The matter in the South State is settled."
Yu Cang asked, "Nothing was revealed, right?"
Dugu Jing replied, "No, it was done very cleanly."
Yu Cang heaved a sigh of relief and sighed with his hands behind his back. "I'm afraid that guy's chances of survival are slim!"
Dugu Jing said hesitantly, "It's more than that. What Sha Rulai said represents the prestige of the Misty Pavilion. It's impossible for him to go back on his words. There's no hope for him to come back alive. Is there still a need to help him with this?"
Yu Cang looked up and sighed. "Give up? This is the long-cherished wish and belief of so many generations. How can I give up without seeing the final result? "
Dugu Jing lowered her head and sighed. She then raised her head and said, "Master, there is news from below. Something strange has happened. Someone is looking for Shang Jing."
Yu Cang looked at him. "Shang Jing has been silent for so long and has been forgotten by the world. Why would someone be looking for him?"
Dugu Jing: "Someone contacted our organization and is willing to pay us a large sum of money to help find Shang Jing's whereabouts. Because we had been paying attention to Shang Jing's whereabouts, our subordinates were also very vigilant. They immediately investigated the contact person and found out his identity. He was from the Tong Xian Pavilion. "
"Same Immortal Pavilion?" Yu Cang asked suspiciously. "Which one? "I, Yu Yu, Yu Yu, Yan Cang, said, asked, Yan Yu, Yu.
"Yes," Yu Cang said. "Gu, I, I, I, had, and I,", "Yu," said, "Tian Yu Yu Yu, had,,, would would would would would not, would would" Yu said. I was afraid that it would cause trouble, so after I received the report, I immediately asked them to stop searching, lest they fell into a trap. "
Yu Cang's expression was grave. He stroked his beard and muttered, "Didn't the Tong Immortal Pavilion escape from the Yan Country because of the rebellion at Wugong Ridge? Now, in the Song Nation, why is a mere Tong Immortal Pavilion inquiring about Shang Jing's whereabouts …" When he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Wugong Ridge!"
Dugu Jing: "Master, do you mean that the person who wants the Shang Mirror is Wu Gongling?"
Yu Cang laughed coldly. "Now that he has occupied half of the Song Nation, and the matter of the Heaven Capital Mystic Realm has stopped the war, it has given him a great opportunity to develop. In addition, he has the Fairy Sect as his backer. This person is very ambitious, and he probably wants to become the Emperor!"
Hearing this, Dugu Jing pondered for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "Yes, according to the rules, if he wants to become emperor, he still lacks one thing, the country's divine artifact! The other seven treasures are already taken, and it would be difficult to snatch them away. Even if there is a chance to destroy a country, it might not fall into his hands. No matter how I think about it, there is only Shang Jing left. "
…
The faintly discernible city on the distant horizon was the Southern Prefecture City. The eyes of the Great Zen Mountain's Sect Leader, Huang Lie, flickered as he stood on a large bird.
Niu Youdao was the ballast that kept the various forces in the Southern Prefecture in check. Now that Niu Youdao had entered the Heaven Capital Mystic Realm, regardless of whether Niu Youdao could come back alive or not, this news alone was enough to make the relevant forces restless.
Some people wouldn't sit back and watch Niu Youdao come back to control the situation, so they had already secretly made their move. For example, Xiao Yao Palace.
Xiao Yao Palace secretly found him and supported him to fully control the Southern Prefecture. They wanted him to cooperate with Xiao Yao Palace to pressure Shang Chaozong.
To put it bluntly, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that Niu Youdao wasn't here to seize power!
This matter couldn't be done publicly. After all, the war was only temporarily frozen, and it hadn't ended yet. If it affected the war between Yan and Zhao, and caused Yan Zhao to be defeated, Xiao Yao Palace wouldn't want to see that. Moreover, Xiao Yao Palace wasn't the only one in Yan Zhao. There was also Spirit Sword Mountain and Purple Golden Cave. Those two forces wouldn't sit back and watch Xiao Yao Palace swallow this fat piece of meat.
However, Huang Lie was still somewhat afraid of Niu Youdao. He didn't have the confidence to wrestle with Niu Youdao.
This time, he came with a lot of determination, because if he wasn't careful, he might fall out with Niu Youdao. After all, no one knew if Niu Youdao could come back alive. Once Niu Youdao came back alive, and Niu Youdao knew that Great Zen Mountain was messing with him, that guy wasn't someone to be trifled with. It would be hard to say if Great Zen Mountain's benefits in the Southern Prefecture could be preserved.
Actually, at the moment, Niu Youdao didn't compete with Great Zen Mountain for benefits. The benefits of the Southern Prefecture had always been given to Great Zen Mountain. If it could be stable like this, it wouldn't be bad.
However, the crux of the problem was that the control of the Southern Prefecture was in the hands of Niu Youdao. This benefit was more like a charity from Niu Youdao.
If one day Niu Youdao was unhappy, Niu Youdao could cut off this charity at any time.
And Shang Chaozong had the support of Niu Youdao, so he could freely govern the Southern Prefecture. With Niu Youdao, it wasn't easy for Great Zen Mountain to interfere.
It sounded nice to say that it wasn't easy to interfere, but it was actually more restrictions. For example, if they were interested in a rich family's property, Great Zen Mountain wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
There was a precedent. A disciple of Great Zen Mountain fell in love with a beauty, and couldn't hold back and did it with her.
Great Zen Mountain didn't even know about it, but somehow, Shang Chaozong knew about it.
Shang Chaozong didn't dare to say anything, but according to the evidence, it was probably Shang Chaozong who told this to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao then sent a message to greet him, and Niu Youdao didn't pursue the matter. He only said that messing up the Southern Prefecture wasn't good for anyone.
Niu Youdao was right, and Great Zen Mountain couldn't say that it was right for their disciple to do such a thing, so they immediately punished that disciple according to the sect rules.
Facing such a matter, Great Zen Mountain had internal opinions. It wasn't that they shouldn't have punished that disciple, but they felt that Niu Youdao's hand was reaching too far.
Actually, Niu Youdao didn't reach out. Some people were dissatisfied because Niu Youdao's existence restricted the privileges of some people in Great Zen Mountain.
They controlled Southern Prefecture in name and obtained the benefits of Southern Prefecture, but they couldn't … to put it bluntly, they couldn't satisfy their selfish desires, and they couldn't enjoy the benefits and glory that came with their power in their own territory.
This kind of matter couldn't be said out loud, and could only be used as an excuse. If they didn't control Southern Prefecture, Niu Youdao could cut off Great Zen Mountain's benefits at any time, so they could only use this as an excuse.
Huang Lie didn't like this feeling either.
Along the way, he had been considering how to talk to Shang Chaozong.
He was afraid because he was worried about the situation after Niu Youdao returned. At the moment, the outside world still didn't know what Niu Youdao did in Heaven Valley.
This was also why Yu Cang didn't dare to say it, even in front of Niu Youdao's confidant.
Niu Youdao was related to the situation of the entire Southern Prefecture. Once people knew that Niu Youdao couldn't return alive, the people of Southern Prefecture would definitely change.
…
Standing alone under the eaves, Shang Chaozong was silent.
He had already returned to the capital of Southern Prefecture. The battlefield had been frozen, so there was no need to waste the two important people of Southern Prefecture there. Thus, he left Meng Shanming behind.
Recently, he was under a lot of pressure. Whether Niu Youdao could come back alive was what he was most worried about. The people below him also had the intention to investigate. Obviously, they were all worried about the future situation of Southern Prefecture.
Guo Qingkong, the Elder of Xiao Yao Palace, found him and talked about the matter of seeking refuge. He promised him that as long as he led the Southern Prefecture to seek refuge, Xiao Yao Palace could let bygones be bygones for killing Shi Sheng.
Whether this promise was true or false, Shang Chaozong himself knew that once Niu Youdao couldn't come back, he would have to face a situation where he had to make another choice.
Not only Xiao Yao Palace, but Spirit Sword Mountain and Purple Golden Cave also hinted in this regard. It was just that, they were not as explicit as what Xiao Yao Palace said.
It was hard for outsiders to imagine how much pressure he was facing right now. If he refused now, it would be tantamount to offending the three major sects. Once Niu Youdao couldn't come back, without Niu Youdao's check and balance, his end would be very miserable. Not only him, many people would also have to suffer a bloody purge.
"Prince, a message from Thatched Cottage Villa."
Lan Ruoting came and handed him a translated letter.
Shang Chaozong found that his face was very ugly, so when he received the letter, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Lan Ruoting: "Guo Qingkong, the Elder of Xiao Yao Palace, had an accident. He was attacked and killed!"
Shang Chaozong was shocked. He quickly lifted the letter and read it carefully. The situation was similar to what Lan Ruoting said. After Guo Qingkong had a secret meeting here, he was attacked on his way back. Not only Guo Qingkong, but also Guo Qingkong's entourage were all killed. None of them were spared.
The crux of the problem was, the letter clearly stated the number of Guo Qingkong's entourage and the place where they met with Yan Mountain. The only thing missing was the secret meeting with him!
Shang Chaozong: "Didn't they have flying mounts?"
Lan Ruoting: "They may have been intercepted in the air!"
Shang Chaozong was silent for a while, and then asked, "Did Thatched Cottage Villa do it?"
