Wu Zhaoxing and Yun Ji looked at each other. How were they sworn brothers? How could there be any friendship between them?
If swearing an oath of brotherhood was of any use, it would probably be done everywhere in the cultivation world. They believed that Niu Youdao also knew this, but Niu Youdao just had to do such a meaningless thing. His way of thinking seemed to be rather unconventional.
Niu Youdao said, "I understand your worries, but I have my own arrangements for Yan. I won't hold you up."
Hibiscus asked, "What arrangements? Can you tell us a little? "
Some things were not easy to explain in front of so many people. Niu Youdao thought for a while and said decisively, "Wait for me here. I'm going."
Hibiscus asked, "Where?"
Niu Youdao raised his chin towards the search team at Zijin Cave. "Go find them. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation." He left.
Hibiscus said again, "Wait, the others stay. We will wait for you." She pointed at Wu Zhaoxing and the other two who wanted to follow.
The three were angry. Did she want to keep them as hostages?
Niu Youdao said, "Big Sister, isn't this a little too much? Do I not deserve your trust?"
Hibiscus said, "Brother, this is not a matter of trust. Trust hurts our relationship. Our friendship is one thing, and the matter in front of us is another. These are two different things. We can all be at ease if we are clear about this. You are the one who said you would attack the seven countries, but you are the one who didn't want to attack Yan's people. You said you have arrangements, but think about it. What do we think? We came here because of you, but you suddenly said you want to meet Yan's people. We are very nervous. What if you bring Yan's people to attack us? Don't blame big sister for being narrow-minded. Let's be realistic. What do you think? "
Niu Youdao nodded. "Big Sister is right."
Hibiscus immediately waved her hand and ordered, "Take control of the three of them."
The people below were about to attack the three, but Yun Ji shouted, "Who dares!"
What kind of joke was this? If he was controlled by these people, wouldn't he become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered once they turned hostile? He wouldn't even have the slightest chance to resist.
Fu Hua chuckled and said, "Brother, this is awkward. Why did you do this? Shouldn't we discuss it further?"
Lang Jingkong, Hong Gaitian, and Duan Wuchang watched coldly from the sidelines. They did not dislike Fu Hua's actions at all.
"No need! I believe in you. " Niu Youdao shook his head in refusal, then turned to Yun Ji and the other two, "Please bear with it for a while, I will return as soon as possible."
"This …" Yun Ji frowned.
Niu Youdao: "I guarantee that whoever dares to touch you will die a horrible death!"
The corner of Lang Jingkong's mouth curled into a cold sneer, Hong Gaitian wore a playful expression, Duan Wuchang had a strange smile on his face, and Fu Hua was smiling without saying a word. Clearly, all of them had taken Niu Youdao's words as a joke.
Seeing that the three of them were unwilling but had restrained themselves, Fu Hua waved her hand. Immediately, a few people went over and restrained Yun Ji and the other two who were no longer resisting.
With the hostages in hand, Fu Hua smiled and extended her hand. "Little Brother, come back as soon as possible. Big Sister will wait for you here."
Niu Youdao's gaze lingered on the three tensed faces for a moment. Then, he turned around and left resolutely …
"Who is it?" With a shout, someone alerted the police. The three Purple Golden Cave disciples who were searching for the hostages quickly gathered together to deal with any possible mishaps.
The person who came was Niu Youdao. He flew and landed in front of the three, landing on a branch at the top of the tree. His body bounced up and down along with the branches.
"Niu Youdao?" The three were surprised and looked at each other in dismay, not knowing how to react.
There were some things that only the higher-ups of Purple Golden Cave knew, and not everyone knew about it. The three of them didn't know about the secret relationship between Niu Youdao and Purple Golden Cave. They only knew that Niu Youdao had been driven away by Yan. Now, it was obvious that he took the initiative to come here.
Niu Youdao directly said, "You guys go back and contact Elder Yan. Tell him that I want to see him."
One of them said, "Niu Youdao, I advise you to run far away. You and Chu Fengping of Spirit Sword Mountain have a quarrel, so the people of Spirit Sword Mountain are nearby. If you're discovered by them, they won't let you go."
Niu Youdao said, "Thank you for your concern. I have a secret agreement with Elder Yan. There are some things that you don't know, and you don't need to know too much. Just go back and inform Elder Yan. Tell him to find a way to meet with me. Tell him that I have something important to talk to him about. Remember, don't let other people know. Just quietly inform Elder Yan. Elder Yan knows what to do. "
Upon hearing this, the three of them were bewildered. What was going on?
Seeing their hesitation, Niu Youdao reminded them, "Just go back and inform him, it won't affect you in any way. Go quickly. If there's any delay, you can't afford to bear the responsibility. Remember, you can only tell Elder Yan. You can't leak the news to other people. Otherwise, Elder Yan will be the first to deal with you! "
After scamming and scaring the three of them, the three of them quickly left after confirming the method to contact and meet up with each other.
Half a day later, Purple Golden Cave's Elder Yan Li came with several people. They appeared under a tree on the top of a mountain, looking around.
This was the agreed meeting place, but there was no sign of Niu Youdao.
Hiding in the dark, Niu Youdao observed the surrounding. After confirming that there was no problem, he flashed out and directly landed in front of them.
They had been separated for a few months in the Heaven Capital Mystic Realm. Now that they met again and saw that Niu Youdao was safe and sound, Yan Li couldn't help but sigh. "Brother, it's been hard on you. I'm relieved to see that you're fine."
After such a long time, he was more or less worried that Niu Youdao had been killed. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete the task assigned to him by the sect.
Of course, worrying was just worrying. There were some things that he couldn't do. This was also what the sect had told him. If there was no other way, he could only give up on Niu Youdao.
There was no other way. Things had changed. After Niu Youdao caused such a ruckus in the Heaven Valley, it was no longer a matter of safety. They had to get the first place in this mission!
How could it be so easy to get the first place? Even if all the Yan Sect cultivators united, they might not be able to get the first place.
In the end, Niu Youdao and Chu Fengping had a falling out. There was no hope for him to get the first place. Yan Li was helpless. He could only let go and let Niu Youdao fend for himself.
Niu Youdao tilted his head and gestured to Yan Li.
Yan Li understood and immediately waved his hand. The people who followed him quickly dispersed and were also responsible for keeping a lookout for the surroundings.
When there was no one else, Yan Li said, "You also know that I have always been with Shan Hai and Chu Fengping. If I leave so suddenly and leave for too long, it will easily arouse their suspicions." What he meant was to make a long story short.
Niu Youdao nodded and expressed his understanding. He asked, "I asked those three disciples to go and inform them. They won't leak the news, right?"
Yan Li: "Since you've already given them such instructions, they will naturally be cautious. After I found out, I immediately reminded them. Don't worry. Why are you looking for me?"
Niu Youdao: "On your side, Yan still wants to get the first place?"
Yan Li: "What are you saying? If there's a chance, we will naturally fight for the first place. The reward is not a small amount. You're asking about this … Sigh, Little Brother, even if you can get the first place, they won't give it to you. It's not that I want to criticize you, but Shan Hai and I tried to persuade you to calm down first, but you just wouldn't listen. You just had to fall out with him. Why bother? "
Niu Youdao: "Elder Yan, you misunderstood me. I want to ask you, do you have the confidence to get the first place?"
"This …" Yan Li smiled bitterly. "I won't beat around the bush with you. It's hard to say if we have the confidence. Everything depends on the situation. However, Yan has never gotten the first place in any of the previous expeditions. To be honest, I actually don't have much hope. I just want to try my best to ensure that some disciples return alive."
Niu Youdao: "Good! Since you don't have the confidence, then don't even think about it. Just help me and ask Elder Yan to help me get the first place. "
Yan Li: "Me help you? Little Brother, are you kidding me? If I can help you get the first place, would you still say that you don't have the confidence? "
Niu Youdao suddenly threw out a sentence. "I have a group of people here. There's no need to trouble Elder Yan with the fighting and robbing. I just want Elder Yan to cooperate with me!"
"You have people?" Yan Li was stunned. He looked at him up and down and asked tentatively, "How many people do you have?"
Niu Youdao: "One or two thousand people, less than two thousand."
"…" Yan Li was stunned. There were only about ten thousand people in total. The entire Yan Sect only had one thousand people. This guy actually said he had one or two thousand people. Yan Li asked suspiciously, "Little Brother, your joke is not funny. Where did you get so many people?"
Niu Youdao: "Those demons and ghosts from overseas, they will help me get the first place."
"…" Yan Li was dumbfounded. He didn't dare to believe it. "They will help you get the first place? Little Brother, are you joking? "
Niu Youdao: "Elder Yan, you have too many 'jokes'. This is not a joke, and I don't have time to joke. You know, I have no other choice. I have been forced into a corner. Yan Sect is not willing to help me, so I can only look for others. I have been running around for the past few months. Now, I am only one step away. I need Elder Yan's help. "
Yan Li still couldn't believe it. He felt that this was too miraculous. There were so many cultivators from overseas. How could they all be roped in by Niu Youdao? He was bewildered. "How could they help you? Little Brother, what is going on? Don't be confused. Don't be cheated and still give money to others. "
"How should I put this? Simply put, I got the first place to save my life, and they got the reward …" Niu Youdao roughly explained the situation. He didn't hide anything from Yan Li.
As for the despicable means he used to rope in the cultivators from overseas, he left out the details.
The main point was that he was in trouble now. The people from overseas were suspicious and wanted to use the cultivators from Yan Sect to prove his sincerity.
