From this, it could be seen that Niu Youdao's sincerity in joining the Purple Golden Cave had not changed. He did not wish to become enemies with the Purple Golden Cave.
However, Yan Li could understand that Niu Youdao had no choice but to do this. Niu Youdao had to obtain the support of one of the three major factions to maintain the situation. If they all fell out, even if they could return alive, Niu Youdao's accumulation in Nanzhou would be finished.
However, Yan Li was still rather puzzled. "Those people from overseas have never gotten first place. They actually dared to go against the Seven Nations this time. They sure have guts."
Niu Youdao: "Isn't it because I've offended a lot of people, so it's convenient for me to lure them in. Humans die in pursuit of wealth, and birds die in pursuit of food. The prize for first place is very generous, so it's understandable that I couldn't resist the temptation."
Yan Li seemed to have understood something as he chuckled, "I've met other forces before and had some exchanges. You may not know this, but those guys have already made a move against the seven countries, including the Yan nation. We chased after them from the very beginning. I was wondering what kind of medicine those people from overseas took to actually dare to take the initiative to find trouble with the seven nations. Now, I finally understand. They're really blinded by greed and don't know the difference between life and death. "
The corner of Niu Youdao's mouth twitched as he asked in surprise, "You've already made your move against the seven countries?"
Yan Li grunted, "But it's not a bad thing for you. At least it gives you a chance."
Niu Youdao immediately asked, "Does Elder Yan mean that he has agreed to help me?"
Yan Li was silent. Usually, no matter how the three sects competed, they would have to band together here. Otherwise, it would be difficult to do anything alone. Now that he was asked to secretly betray the other two sects, it was not an easy decision to make. After pondering for a while, he said, "Will it be fine if the disciples of Zijin Cave stay away?"
Niu Youdao said, "Of course we have to avoid them, but we still need to cooperate with them. Let me know the positions of the other two sects' people. Otherwise, if we make a mistake, it'll be easy to hurt the disciples of Purple Golden Cave."
Yan Li: "You want me to betray the other two clans and tip you off?"
Niu Youdao: "Not only that, if it's possible, in case, and I'm saying in case, in case I don't have enough spirit seeds on hand, I hope that Elder Yan can give me the ones in Yan Chen's hands."
Yan Li frowned. "If I give it to you, how will Purple Golden Cave explain to the other two?"
Niu Youdao said, "As long as the other two forces are damaged, wouldn't it be easy for Purple Golden Cave to cooperate with me and cause an accident?"
"This …" Yan Li shook his head and said awkwardly, "Niu Youdao, it's not that I don't want to help you, but it's not appropriate to do this. If I return with the last place, it would be very embarrassing for me. Also, you have to understand that even if I don't get first place, as long as I get a good ranking, the Misty Pavilion will still reward me handsomely. If you ask me to give up on this, how am I going to explain to the sect when I get back? You're not a three year old child. At your level, you should understand that where there are people, there will be disputes. In a big sect, there will always be some people who are not easy to talk to. "
Niu Youdao said, "I'm just saying in case, if it's not enough, then I'll get it from your side. If it's enough to get first place, then I won't touch your side, and you guys will get whatever rank you deserve."
Yan Li said, "If I cooperate with you, Yan Chen's strength will be greatly damaged, and his ranking will naturally drop …"
"Elder Yan, let me finish." Niu Youdao raised his hand and interrupted, "Yes, that's right. The damage to Yan Chen's strength will affect Yan Chen's ranking, and it will also affect Purple Golden Cave's benefits. But as long as I can return alive, I will be a member of Purple Golden Cave. Can't the benefits of South State make up for this loss? Also, I can promise Elder Yan one thing. If I am forced to use Yan Chen's spirit seed to get first place, I will not make it difficult for Elder Yan to report back. I am willing to offer the secret recipe of the wine to Purple Golden Cave. With this excuse, can Elder Yan report back? "
"So it's like this …" Yan Li pondered, his eyes flashed. After thinking for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Since Younger Brother is so sincere, if I still don't agree, it would be too harsh. Alright, it's settled!"
Niu Youdao smiled, and the two then whispered to each other, plotting the details of the cooperation.
After everything was settled, Niu Youdao pleaded, "Elder Yan, if there's a chance, you can get as many spirit seeds as possible, just in case something unexpected happens to my side. If necessary, you can fan the flames and provoke Yan Chen's side to fight with the other forces. This will reduce the pressure on my side. "
This was also the reason why he didn't want to touch Yan Chen's side after roping in the overseas forces. Yan Chen was his backup, and he had the confidence to convince Purple Golden Cave to be his spy. Since it was going to be his sooner or later, there was no need for him to use force. It was just that the overseas forces had disrupted the rhythm of his plan.
These words were too straightforward. Yan Li smiled bitterly, "You really are not polite at all."
Niu Youdao, "I want to be polite, but I don't have any capital to be polite. I have already staked everything on this one throw, and there is no way out. I hope Elder Yan can help me. As long as I can return alive and join Purple Golden Cave, I will definitely stand on Elder Yan's side in the future. As long as it is Elder Yan's matter, I will definitely support it!"
Yan Li slightly raised his eyebrows, and with a faint smile, he raised his hand and patted Niu Youdao's arm …
He was back. When Niu Youdao returned to find the overseas forces, it was already dark.
When the two sides met, Fu Hua said with a smile, "Brother, you're finally back. You've been gone for so long. Where did you go?"
Niu Youdao's gaze first found Wu Zhaoxing and the other two. Seeing that they were fine, he let out a sigh of relief. He first went to remove the restriction on their bodies. After confirming that they were fine, he turned around and answered, "Big Sister, I said I had to make some arrangements."
Fu Hua's smile seemed to hide an inexplicable meaning, "You are a Yan cultivator. You ran to Yan's side to make arrangements, and then made a move on Yan's people. Is that appropriate?"
Niu Youdao, "I know what you are worried about. It's not what you think. After all, I am from Yan Family, and they still have some of my people on their side. I went to find a spy, so that we can understand the situation and avoid any mishaps."
Fu Hua made a meaningful sound, "Oh, I see."
She didn't know whether she believed it or not, but she probably doubted it.
Niu Youdao didn't care about her mystifying words. He invited the four masters to the side and asked them to arrange people to receive the news. Yan Li would arrange people to leave the information.
Of course, Niu Youdao would not tell them that he and Yan Li were conspiring against them.
It was already dark, so the plan to lure the enemy was not easy to carry out. They had to wait until dawn.
The next day, the people sent by Fu Hua brought back the message left by Yan Li. The letter was a secret letter. Upon seeing the letter, Niu Youdao immediately led his people in the direction that Yan Li mentioned.
As expected, after the ambush in a certain position, the spies that were sent out really found the cultivators of Yan Family, the cultivators of Spirit Sword Mountain.
Purple Golden Cave wanted to avoid this matter, so Yan Li naturally would not tell them the whereabouts of the disciples of Purple Golden Cave. Niu Youdao was also interested in the people of Spirit Sword Mountain. Who told Chu Fengping to push him to death?
After confirming the situation, Fu Hua said with a smile, "Brother, now it's up to you."
Luring the enemy had to be paid attention to. It was necessary to make it easy for the enemy to discover Niu Youdao so that he could call for reinforcements in time. At the same time, they couldn't alert a large number of the enemy because of the sound of the fight. If that happened, they would not be able to concentrate their superior forces to annihilate the enemy. If this happened several times, they would be finished first.
Therefore, Niu Youdao personally appeared to lure the enemy, and even lured the enemy further away. The process was rather dangerous.
Niu Youdao said, "Gather your spirit seeds and let me use them."
Duan Wuchang said in a deep voice, "You want us to give you our spirit seeds?"
Niu Youdao said, "It's a mistake for you to move against Yan Family's people now. I'm a cultivator of Yan Family, and I'm involved in many things in Yan Family. Although they expelled me, they might not necessarily chase after me. Otherwise, they would've done it when they expelled me. They wouldn't wait until now. The spirit seeds can enhance the effect of luring the enemy."
What he said made sense, but it didn't seem appropriate to give him the spirit seeds.
In the end, it was Fu Hua who voiced out to help. "Do as he said, give it to him!" She first asked the people beside her to take out the spirit seeds they had gathered.
With her taking the lead, Lang Jingkong, Hong Gaitian, and Duan Wuchang exchanged a look and did as she said.
Of course, they didn't give them all. They still needed to keep some for themselves. They couldn't survive in this godforsaken place without the spirit seeds.
The spirit seeds were packed into a package and Niu Youdao carried it on his back.
Wu Zhaoxing and the other two were about to leave with Miao Yi when Fu Hua called out to stop them. She pointed at the three of them and said, "You three stay here!"
Wu Zhaoxing said solemnly, "You're not going to let him lure the enemy alone, are you? He'll be in danger if the enemy's experts chase after him. "
"If he needs someone to protect him, we can arrange for that." Fu Hua said coldly. She then turned to Niu Youdao and said with a smile, "Little Brother, if we give you our spirit seeds, what if you run away with them? Who are we going to look for? Whether you're willing or not, the three of them must stay behind as hostages. "
She didn't mince her words at all and went straight to the point.
"You guys stay." Niu Youdao persuaded Wu Zhaoxing and the other two before saying to Fu Hua, "I'll go alone. I don't need anyone to protect me."
Yun Ji immediately objected, "No, it's too dangerous!"
Niu Youdao said solemnly, "Even if we run into trouble, I have to escape alone. No matter what, I have to lure them over. Once someone jumps out and interferes, we'll be exposed. The result will be the same whether we bring people or not. It'll be easier for the enemy to detect us if we bring more people."
The three understood what he meant. At this stage, they had to be as careful as they could. There was no room for mistakes. If their plan was exposed, even if they could escape, they wouldn't be able to avoid Rulai Sha's calamity. Thus, they could only succeed.
Yun Ji still wanted to say something, but Niu Youdao raised his hand and stopped her, "Don't worry, I have the Heaven Sword Talisman with me. Without absolute confidence, the enemy won't dare to act recklessly."
Wu Zhaoxing said, "The other countries must have bought a lot of talismans before coming here. The enemy must have the Heaven Sword Talisman too!"
