This reason left Niu Youdao unable to refute it. It also made him a little anxious as he asked, "How can we easily find them in such a big place? By the time we find them, who knows where … "He paused for a moment," Third Master just said that when you came here, you would split up and go back in groups. It's not easy to meet up in such a big place. Do you have a place to meet up? "
A strange look flashed across Hong Gaitian's eyes. He examined Niu Youdao again and realized that this kid was not simple.
After a moment of silence, he finally told him, "That's right, there is a place to meet up."
Niu Youdao asked the question he was most concerned about, "How long will it take?"
"Do you think I can tell you before confirming what you said?" Hong Gaitian laughed coldly. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped the bonfire. With a muffled sound, a powerful airflow pressed down and extinguished the bonfire. He then turned around and left with his hands behind his back. "Have a good rest tonight. We'll continue our journey at dawn. Seeing that you are pitiful, I can bring you along."
Since he had decided to rest here, he obviously felt that the bonfire was too conspicuous.
However, with the strong airflow gone, the extinguished charcoal glowed red again in the air. It was a sea of fiery red stars, and the smell of smoke lingered in the air.
After watching Hong Gaitian hide in the nearby forest, Yun Ji asked, "Will he agree to join forces with you?"
Slowly, Niu Youdao said, "He should be interested. Otherwise, he wouldn't bring us along."
After a while, he heard no movement from the others. He couldn't help but look back and found that the three were looking at him strangely. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.
Yun Huan suddenly smiled bitterly. "I finally understand why Cloud Crossing Mountain can only hide in a corner for so many years, while you can rise up in South Province. I can't help but admire you."
Yun Ji was a woman. She raised her hand and patted Niu Youdao's shoulder. "Look after you. You shouldn't be killed so easily. If you die here, you can only say that your luck is too bad."
"Uh …" Niu Youdao was speechless. Another hand patted his shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Wu Zhaoxing.
"You're really something. There aren't many people who can make me admire you in this life, but you're one of them!" Wu Zhaoxing sighed with emotion.
Niu Youdao was made uncomfortable by their mushy behavior. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Are you blaming me for hiding it from you? There are a lot of things that can change before facing someone. It depends on the situation. I can't be sure whether it will work or not. It's meaningless to say it too early. It's really inconvenient to explain, and I don't want to argue about it. "
Wu Zhaoxing said, "You're thinking too much. I really admire you. To be able to deceive people to such an extent, even I would believe it."
Niu Youdao: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"
Wu Zhaoxing said, "No, I really admire your abilities."
Niu Youdao smiled bitterly. "It's not abilities. It's just a small trick that can't be shown in public. There's a lot of trouble in front of us. The final result is hard to predict."
Yun Ji said, "It's very troublesome. Hong Gaitian insists on meeting the other clans. It's really a problem when he can find them."
Niu Youdao said, "Let's see the situation first. If it really doesn't work, I have no way out. I can only think of a solution from this Third Leader."
The three were silent. They all knew that this person was in a difficult situation and had no other options.
At dawn the next day, Hong Gaitian gathered his men and set off. Niu Youdao and the others joined the group.
Along the way, it could be seen that Hong Gaitian was no longer in the mood to search for any spirit seeds. He only cared about bringing his men and had no time to look at the mountains and rivers along the way.
Three days later, a towering mountain range appeared in sight. From afar, only a part of the mountain peak could be seen above the sea of clouds. The rest of the mountain was shrouded in mysterious clouds.
Hong Gaitian led the group straight to this mountain. After arriving, they went straight into the depths of the mountain range. Along the way, birds and beasts flew away in fright.
"The environment here is really similar to your Crossing Clouds Mountain."
Niu Youdao, who was observing the surroundings, had just made a teasing remark to Yun Ji and her son when a shout suddenly came from the front. "Who is it?"
Duke Su, who was standing beside Hong Gaitian, immediately replied loudly, "The Three Great Kings of the Southern Sea have arrived!"
Immediately, a figure flashed out from his hiding place. After confirming who it was, he immediately led the group forward.
When the group arrived at a cliff, a group of people of all shapes and sizes had already appeared to welcome them.
Niu Youdao focused his eyes and saw that the representatives of the Great Sage of the Eastern Sea, the Demon King of the Western Sea, the Law King of the Southern Sea, and the Dark Lord of the Northern Sea were all present.
The Hall Master of the Eastern Sea's Fubo Temple Lang Jingkong, the Western Sea's Elder Fu Hua, and the Northern Sea's Elder Duan Wuchang were all recognized by Niu Youdao in the Heaven Valley. The leaders of the four seas were all present, but Hong Gaitian of the Southern Sea was the last to arrive.
This surprised Niu Youdao a little. Clearly, this was the meeting place for the people from the four seas. He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to find these people, but he didn't expect them to gather together in just a few days.
Hong Gaitian was also very surprised to see these people. "I thought I was the first to arrive. I didn't expect you all to be ahead of me."
The Western Sea's Elder Fu Hua was a beautiful woman. She said in a crisp voice, "Don't mention it. I was the first to arrive. Not long after I entered the mystic realm, I ran into the Yan cultivators who came looking for trouble. After that, I ran into the cultivators of the other nations who came looking for trouble. In total, I lost nearly two hundred of my men. I sensed that something was wrong, so I immediately led my men and rushed here to wait for everyone. I didn't expect that the other two clans also encountered the same situation as me and rushed here in advance. Since you're here now, did something happen to you as well? "
Hearing this, Hong Gaitian quickly turned to look at Niu Youdao and said, "My situation was the same as yours. Putting aside the trouble at first, I was chased by that bunch of madmen from the Jin Nation. I only managed to escape after abandoning a few dozen of my men."
Niu Youdao responded with a faint smile.
Only then did the leaders notice Niu Youdao in the crowd behind them. Fu Hua was surprised. "Niu Youdao? Hong Gaitian, why did you bring him here? "
"It's fine even if I brought him here. I can kill him anytime I want. Let's talk inside." Hong Gaitian turned around and gestured with his hand. Then, he entered the cave with the other three leaders. It was unknown what they were going to talk about while avoiding the others.
The rest of the people were greeted by others. Those who were separated greeted the others who had arrived earlier.
Wu Zhaoxing looked left and right at the people walking away. He said in a low voice, "Don't you think our situation is a little dangerous? Let's not talk about the others. These leaders might not be weaker than me. We've entered the tiger's den. Once they make trouble, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape. "
Niu Youdao replied in a low voice, "There's no need to worry. Since I dared to come here, I'm confident. If they really do anything to us, I have my ways to stop them from acting recklessly when it comes to a critical moment!"
The three looked at each other. They didn't know where his confidence came from. The people had already fallen into the other party's hands. The other party's strength was much stronger than theirs. If they really had evil intentions, how could he stop them?
If someone else had said this, they definitely wouldn't have believed it. But coming from Niu Youdao's mouth, they were skeptical.
"Will they agree to join forces with you?" Yun Ji asked. This was also the question they were most worried about.
Niu Youdao looked around and said in a low voice, "It was hard to say before. Now that we see these people, it means that our earlier arrangements are working. There won't be a big problem."
Hearing him say this, the few of them felt slightly more at ease.
After waiting for a full hour, Hong Gaitian's loud shout came from the cave. "Niu Youdao, come in!"
The guard at the cave entrance immediately gestured for Niu Youdao to enter.
The few of them immediately entered. The three accompanying them guarded Niu Youdao's left and right.
Inside, it was like an underground palace. There were no lights, only a few moon butterflies illuminating the place.
Seeing Wu Zhaoxing and the other two enter, Hong Gaitian said in a low voice, "Who allowed you to come in? Let Niu Youdao in. I didn't let you in. Get out! "
Wu Zhaoxing and the other two were instantly enraged. On the contrary, Niu Youdao held his sword on the ground with one hand and raised the other to stop them from flaring up. "It's fine. You guys can leave first."
The three suppressed their anger. The situation was against their will. They had no choice but to leave in silence.
Turning around, Niu Youdao placed both his hands on the hilt of his sword. He looked around at this gourd-shaped cave. He could tell that it was a half-natural, half-man-made cave. Judging from the old and new traces, it shouldn't have been prepared for this. It seemed like this wasn't the first time the overseas cultivators met here.
The few of them were also observing Niu Youdao. Seeing his calm and unruffled appearance, Eastern Sea's Fubo Temple Master Lang Jingkong snorted coldly. "Niu Youdao, you're quite daring."
Niu Youdao retracted his gaze and looked at him. "There's no need for me to be daring. It's not like you guys are starving. Why would you eat anything you see?"
Hibiscus teased. "Aren't you afraid that we'll kill you because we don't like you?"
Niu Youdao: "Afraid? I've already been forced into a dead end by Sha Rulai. What's in it for you guys if you kill me? "
Hibiscus: "The Sky Sword Talisman you have is quite valuable."
Niu Youdao: "More valuable than your own life?"
Hibiscus snorted. "From what you've said, it sounds like you're the only one who can do it. It's as if you're certain that we'll cooperate with you. I'll let you guess, do you think we'll agree or not? "
Niu Youdao would never answer this kind of gambling question. He said calmly, "It's not important whether we agree or not, and there's no need to guess. At least for now, it's a choice. Elder Hibiscus, don't you think so?"
Hibiscus's bright eyes flickered as she sized him up with interest.
Northern Sea's Elder Duan Wuchang said darkly, "Even if we agree, what makes you so sure that we'll hand over the spirit seeds we snatched to you to get first place?!"
Niu Youdao: "No matter how many spirit seeds we snatch, we'll still have to hand them over to the Misty Pavilion. None of us will get them, so the spirit seeds in our hands are meaningless. At the end of the day, we still have to rely on the ranking to get the reward from the Misty Pavilion. I only want the ranking that can save my life, and you guys can take the reward. Everyone gets what they want! "
Hibiscus grinned, "If we really snatch enough spirit seeds, wouldn't it be safer for us to exchange them for the reward ourselves? There's no need to hand them over to you."
Niu Youdao was unhurried as he said, "Let's not talk about this place. Let's talk about the outside world. Can the forces of the four seas be a match for the seven countries? Any country's combined forces are stronger than all of you combined! If you really act ruthlessly against the seven countries' cultivators here, the seven countries will definitely deal with you later. Even if you can't be killed, you'll still be crippled. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked uncomfortable. Only Hibiscus was still smiling beautifully, "Since it's so unflattering, is there still a need for us to act against them?"
Niu Youdao patted the back of his other hand with one hand on the hilt of his sword, "That's why you need to cooperate with me. It's different with me around, it'll be a completely different situation."
Hong Gaitian chuckled, "Such big words. Why don't you take a mirror and look at yourself? If you can deal with the seven countries, would you still need to beg us?"
