Situ Yao went and came back again, and his expression was still not good.
The elders present all saw it. It was just them. The others had gone out to look for the spiritual seeds. Someone asked, "Sect Master, why did Chu Fengping look for you?"
Situ Yao said, "They found Niu Youdao's whereabouts. Currently, Niu Youdao is alone and has been targeted by them."
The few of them looked at each other in surprise.
Li Wuhua asked tentatively, "Does it have anything to do with us?"
Situ Yao said, "Chu Fengping forced us to go with them to kill Niu Youdao."
"Ah!" The few of them were shocked. Someone said, "Why is there a need to be so resentful? We have already banished Niu Youdao, which is equivalent to forcing Niu Youdao into a dead end. Why are you still looking for trouble and not letting go? Isn't it better to let Niu Youdao fend for himself?"
Situ Yao shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. "We can't drag this on. Wait for us and ask us to send out twenty people. Go and gather more people."
Li Wuhua said, "Sect Master, Niu Youdao has the Heaven Sword Talisman. You and I both know that he is definitely not someone to be trifled with. The Yan Imperial Court mobilized so many people, but they still couldn't do anything to him. If he luckily escapes, we will have completely offended him this time. Have you thought about the consequences our Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Mansion will face after he returns? He can destroy us at any time! "
Among these people, he was the most unwilling to hurt Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao had done him a great favor that he couldn't repay.
Situ Yao said, "It is precisely because he has the Heaven Sword Talisman and because they are worried that he won't be easy to deal with, that they sent out so many people and called for us. I naturally know the consequences of letting Niu Youdao escape, but what can we do? If we don't listen, they can deal with us now. Do you think Shan Hai and Yan Li will offend Chu Fengping for us? "
Li Wuhua said, "This is also their intention?"
Situ Yao replied, "No, the two of them probably don't know yet. Chu Fengping told us to hide it from them."
Li Wuhua immediately said, "Sect Master, there's no harm in secretly leaking it to those two clans. If those two clans can intervene, it will save us a lot of trouble."
Situ yao frowned, "Junior Brother, are you confused? Once the news was leaked, Chu Fengping's first suspect was us! Besides, if those two families wanted to protect Niu Youdao, they wouldn't have waited until now. "
Li Wuhua remained silent.
"You stay here!" He could also tell that Li Wuhua wanted to stop them from attacking Niu Youdao.
As for why, not only him, but the other elders also knew a little about it. When Li Wuhua was in charge of the Gold Province, he was on good terms with Niu Youdao.
After that, Situ Yao, who had gathered his men, personally led the team and set off. There was no other way, Chu Fengping was forcing him to choose a side.
On one side was Niu Youdao, and on the other side was the behemoth Spirit Sword Mountain. There was almost no need to think about how to choose.
For the sake of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion, in order for these people to go back alive, Situ Yao had no choice. His friendship with Niu Youdao could only be thrown to the back of his mind. This also determined that Niu Youdao could not go back alive.
Watching Situ Yao and the others leave, Li Wuhua's mood was extremely tangled. He really didn't want anything to happen to Niu Youdao.
Having a son at such an old age, one could imagine his feelings towards his son. Niu Youdao had saved his son's life!
Taking ten thousand steps back, on behalf of the Golden Province, he had been dealing with Niu Youdao for many years, and Niu Youdao was worthy of his trust.
He and Niu Youdao, or rather, he and Niu Youdao, had established a very good relationship through the accumulation of time and the test of things. The two sides had maintained a long-term friendly relationship. As long as Niu Youdao supported him, it would not be easy for the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion to replace the person in charge of the Golden Province.
Because of his relationship with Hai Ruyue, they even had a son. There were already quite a lot of arguments within the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion, accusing him of wanting to turn the Golden Province into the world of the Li Family. However, in the face of the support of Niu Youdao on behalf of the Southern Region, it was not easy for the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Mansion to make a move on him.
Previously, although the Golden Province was captured by the imperial court of Zhao State, now that the Yan Army had launched a counterattack, the situation was favorable, and recapturing the Golden Province was just around the corner.
Niu Youdao had already promised him that he would not monopolize the Golden Province and would still support Hai Ruyue in ruling the Golden Province. In other words, he was supporting Li Wuhua.
That's right, he wanted to turn the Golden Province into the world of the Li Family. In the past, he would not have thought like this, but it was different now. He had to consider for his son and for his descendants. He hoped that he could be like the Xiao Family and survive in the Golden Province for a few generations, ensuring the prosperity of his descendants for a few generations.
He was not young anymore. There was no hope for him to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. His lifespan was limited, and he could not take care of his son's generation. However, Niu Youdao was still very young.
In short, if the Southern Region was replaced by someone else, it would not be a good thing for him.
However, since things had developed to this point, he could not do anything about it. When he looked around, he saw a person and was stunned for a moment. Yan Baoru!
In front of a strange flower, Yan Baoru was curling her fingers around the flower and sniffing it lightly. Her figure was graceful and charming.
When she followed Yan's people, she was like a decoration. She would not run errands to search for the spirit seed. She had been following Yan's group, and Yan's side would not ask her to do anything.
It seemed that, as she had said when she first joined, the spirit seed was of no use to her. She had only joined for the sake of freedom and in exchange for her help when needed.
While enjoying the fragrance, Yan Baoru tilted her head slightly and looked at Li Wuhua, who was approaching her. Her bright eyes blinked. It did not seem like he had accidentally passed by her.
Li Wuhua looked around and asked, "What's going on between you and Wu Zhaoxing?"
Yan Baoru understood what he meant. She and Wu Zhaoxing had joined the Li Family for the same reason.
"It's not your place to ask." Yan Baoru ignored him and continued to enjoy the strange fragrance with her eyes closed.
Li Wuhua said, "I remember that you wanted to follow Niu Youdao back then, but Niu Youdao rejected you."
Yan Baoru smiled disdainfully. "You really worry a lot."
Li Wuhua said, "If you really want to protect Niu Youdao, I know the whereabouts of Niu Youdao." With that, he observed the other party's reaction.
Yan Baoru was startled. Her slender fingers loosened the flower, turned her head to look at him, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Li Wuhua looked around again and whispered, "Spirit Sword Mountain has discovered the whereabouts of Niu Youdao. Chu Fengping wants to kill him. If you don't want anything to happen to Niu Youdao, you should be able to find Niu Youdao by following the people of Spirit Sword Mountain. If you think of a way, you should be able to warn him."
Yan Baoru stared at him, her eyes flickering.
Li Wuhua stopped there and then turned around to leave. If the other party really wanted to protect Niu Youdao, he would naturally go. If he didn't want to protect Niu Youdao, he wouldn't do anything.
He had no other choice but to treat a dead horse as a living one!
On the side of Spirit Sword Mountain, Chu Fengping's eldest disciple, Cai Jinqi, personally led the team. Not only did he gather twenty people from the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Mansion, he also secretly ordered a group of people from other small sects and some loose cultivators. In order to take down Niu Youdao in one fell swoop, they dispatched hundreds of people at once, clearly not giving Niu Youdao the chance to escape.
Dispatching so many people, to a certain extent, was also an affirmation of Niu Youdao's ability. They didn't dare to underestimate him, fearing that there would be an accident.
With so many people, they didn't need to worry about alarming the other two sects, because the direction they went was the direction that the people of Spirit Sword Mountain were responsible for.
The central command of the Yan Kingdom that took a short break along the way moved forward again. Yan Li, who was traveling with them, glanced at Chu Fengping who seemed to be fine. As he looked around, he suddenly asked, "Why is Situ Yao gone?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked around.
Yan Li pointed out, "Brother Chu, Situ Yao seems to have met you before. You should know where he went, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Elder of Xiao Yao Palace, Shan Hai, immediately became alert and quickly looked around.
Chu Fengping said, "His legs are on his body, so isn't it normal for him to run around? Li Wuhua, where is your Sect Leader? "
Upon hearing this, Li Wuhua came over. "Sect Leader won't report to me where he goes, so I don't know."
Shan Hai, who was looking around, frowned and said, "Yan Baoru, that woman has been following us, how come she suddenly disappeared?"
Li Wuhua subconsciously looked around and muttered in his heart, "It seems that my guess is right. That woman should be on Niu Youdao's side for some reason. I hope that woman can inform Niu Youdao in time to help Niu Youdao get out of danger."
At present, there was nothing he could do. This was all he could do.
Yan Li said, "Brother Chu, you're not hiding something from us, are you?"
Chu Fengping said, "Isn't it normal to hide something from you? Don't tell me that you're going to tell me everything? As long as it doesn't affect our cooperation, I can do whatever I want. Do I need to tell you everything? "
…
Under the guidance of someone, Cai Jinqi and his people arrived at the place where they found Niu Youdao. The ashes of the barbecue were right in front of them.
Looking at the pile of ashes, Situ Yao's mood was complicated. He also hoped that Niu Youdao could get rid of the tracking, so that he could save himself some trouble. Otherwise, if he really had to face Niu Youdao, it would be really embarrassing.
The Spirit Sword Mountain disciples were searching around. That Junior Brother Fan whispered in Cai Jinqi's ear, telling him about the situation where Niu Youdao was here.
"Over here!" Someone flashed out from the forest on the left front and issued a reminder, indicating that they had found the mark left by the Spirit Sword Mountain disciples.
"Let's go!" Cai Jinqi waved his hand. A group of people rose into the air and went straight to the marked direction.
After an entire four hours, the group finally stopped, and they met up with the two disciples that were following Niu Youdao earlier.
"Where is he?"
"Just ahead."
The two tracking disciples quietly led Cai Jinqi and the others to a valley. One of them pointed at a cave on the cliff of the valley and said, "Senior Brother Cai, he went into that cave."
"Are you sure he's still inside?"
"The two of us took turns to keep an eye on him, but we didn't see him come out. He should still be inside."
While they were talking, there was a movement inside the cave on the cliff. They saw a person sneaking out and looking around. It was none other than Niu Youdao.
After finding nothing unusual, Niu Youdao retreated back into the cave.
