"Elder, this is the letter that Li Wuhua asked me to pass to you."
During the search, a disciple of Xiao Yao Palace handed a piece of cloth to Shan Hai. Shan Hai looked up abruptly and asked in a deep voice, "You didn't stop them?"
That disciple said carefully, "Just one person. I didn't know what was going on at first. When I read the contents of the letter, they had already escaped."
One of the core members of the three sects, Purple Golden Cave's Elder Yan Li, asked, "Li Wuhua's letter? What happened? "
Shan Hai threw the piece of cloth in his hand to Yan Li. Yan Li was silent after reading it.
Chu Fengping took the initiative to take the piece of cloth from Shan Hai's hand and read it. After reading it, he was also speechless. He was responsible for this matter.
The letter didn't say anything else. Li Wuhua said that the Sect Leader and the others had not been seen for so many days. They didn't know if something had happened to them. As disciples of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor, they couldn't just sit by and do nothing. They had to search for them. They were afraid that the Sect Leader would stop them, so they left without saying goodbye. He hoped that the Sect Leader would understand their painstaking efforts.
The three of them couldn't say anything about this. The people of the Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves Manor were worried about the Sect Leader's safety and went to search for them. They couldn't say anything wrong.
Shan Hai turned to look at Chu Fengping and said in a deep voice, "Brother Chu, your disciple Cai Jinqi, Situ Yao and the others, as well as Yan Baoru, have all disappeared at the same time. What exactly are you hiding from us?"
Chu Fengping only said one sentence, "I told you that I also don't know what happened."
Even if he had to reflect and admit his mistakes, he would do it after returning to the sect. Moreover, he might not let the sect know that he had caused such a loss. Since it had already happened, he would hide it as much as he could. It was even more impossible for him to say it and let others laugh at him.
In reality, he indeed didn't know what happened to Cai Jinqi and the others, nor did he know who was the culprit.
Yan Li glanced at him coldly and found it funny. He then glanced at the letter in his hand and sighed inwardly. He realized that Niu Youdao's arrangement was definitely the result of careful consideration. The steps were extremely meticulous. Even Li Wuhua and the others had to use a perfect excuse to cover up their escape.
He also understood that the people from the Ten Thousand Heavenly Grottoes had betrayed Niu Youdao previously, and now, they were won over by Niu Youdao. Even the thirty people from the Ten Thousand Heavenly Grottoes had retreated. This time, it was obvious that the Ten Thousand Heavenly Grottoes were dead set on following Niu Youdao. It was unknown what methods Niu Youdao had used.
However, this was something worth looking forward to. It meant that Niu Youdao had once again reversed the situation in this battle. He had once again taken control of the forces in the Gold Province. Once Niu Youdao went out and sought refuge with the Purple Golden Cave, the South Province and the Gold Province would both be included in the Purple Golden Cave's sphere of influence. What a great harvest!
He couldn't help but secretly admire Niu Youdao's ability. Even in such a desolate place, he was still able to reverse the situation and stir up trouble!
It was also because he saw a certain possibility that he was even more determined to support Niu Youdao. He had once again returned to the track of carrying out the Purple Golden Cave's first choice.
To him, if the situation was not good, he would give up on Niu Youdao. If the situation was good, he would befriend Niu Youdao. This was considered human nature.
To a normal person, this kind of repeated choice might be infuriating. However, to these people who were fighting under the big picture, it was not strange at all. They would definitely make the best choice that would benefit them.
Shan Hai, however, was still unwilling. He said in a low voice, "With so many people searching everywhere, did no one see where they ran to? Did they just let them slip away without a trace?"
Yan Li sighed, "Is there a need to ask? More people means more harvest. They know that we won't let them go easily. It is obvious that they have been planning this for a long time. They have been waiting for a chance to escape. I reckon that once they find the chance, they will alert us. If they don't have the confidence to escape, they won't leave rashly. "
…
Weiguo's current situation was somewhat stagnant. The people from the Void Spirit Manor, from Elder Mu Yinggao to the people below, had suddenly disappeared. After searching for the direction in which they left, they realized that they had all been murdered. No one knew who did it.
Realizing that a certain force was preempting them, a strong sense of crisis struck them. The Guardian Pavilion and Great Happiness Mountain no longer had the mood to search for the Spirit Seeds. They quickly retreated and were on guard. They didn't dare to spread their people too far and advanced cautiously.
Now that they had started to plunder wantonly, their first suspect was the group of mad dogs from Jin State.
Just as Elder Yao Xianding of the Guarding Righteousness Pavilion and Elder Cao Bing of the Great Joy Mountain were discussing this matter, someone suddenly came to report, "Elders, Elder Li Wuhua of the State of Zhao's Gold Region Myriad Grotto-Heaven Mansion requests an audience."
Requesting an audience? What's going on? The two of them looked at each other. Yao Xianding asked, "How many people are here?"
The disciple replied, "Just him and two disciples from the Ten Thousand Grottoes, a total of three people."
Hearing that there were only three people, he immediately asked them to be brought over.
After a while, Li Wuhua and the two disciples from the Ten Thousand Grottoes arrived together. Greetings were unavoidable.
Yao Xianding said, "I saw you with Yan earlier. Why are you here to see us?"
"To be honest, something unexpected happened. We are here to look for our Sect Leader …" Li Wuhua helplessly explained how he secretly left Yan's side. Finally, he cupped his fists and pleaded, "We can't just leave our Sect Leader behind. We had no choice but to send people out to ask around. Weiguo, please tell us if you have seen our Sect Leader's group."
So that's how it is! Yao Xianding said, "I haven't seen any traces of your Ten Thousand Grottoes' disciples. Seeing that you are sincere, if I see anyone from the Ten Thousand Grottoes, I will help you pass on the message."
"Thank you, thank you." Li Wuhua thanked him profusely.
Cao Bing, who was frowning and pondering, suddenly asked, "Li Wuhua, did you just say that your Sect Leader's group and Yan's group are missing?"
Yao Xianding's eyes flashed as he realized the deeper meaning behind Li Wuhua's words.
Li Wuhua, "Yes."
Cao Bing, "How many people are missing?"
Li Wuhua said, "I don't know the specific number. We are just followers, and the details of the situation in Yan Country will not be told to us. It's mainly people from Spirit Sword Mountain. Twenty people from our Ten Thousand Heavenly Caves are missing, so there should be hundreds of missing people."
Yao Xianding and Cao Bing looked at each other, and Cao Bing continued to ask, "So many people are missing, what happened?"
Li Wuhua wryly smiled. "I don't know, but Elder Chu of Spirit Sword Mountain should know about it. I saw Elder Yan of Purple Golden Cave and Elder Shanhai of Xiaoyao Palace ask him about it, but he refused to say. Because of this, we came out to look for him. "
…
Qi Country's Heavenly Fire Sect's Elder Qian Fucheng, Profound Weapon Sect's Elder Liu Xinggao, Yan Country's Amethyst Cave's Elder Yan Li, Xiao Yao Palace's Elder Shan Hai, and Spirit Sword Mountain's Elder Chu Fengping were confronting each other.
Along with Qian Fucheng and Liu Xinggao, there were also all the members of Qi State who came to Heavenly Capital Secret Territory.
Chu Fengping secretly cursed Li Wuhua and the others for causing trouble here. Qian Fucheng had already made it clear that he came here after encountering the people from the Four Regions who were looking for the Sect Leader of Ten Thousand Grottoes.
"Why our people are missing is our own business. I don't need to explain it to you." Chu Fengping strongly refused to answer the other side's question.
At this time, a disciple of Xiao Yao Palace hurriedly came to report, "Elder, Wei State's people are here, we can't stop them..."
Needless to say, they had already seen it. A large group of people had come. Unless they were blind, they wouldn't be able to see it. Elder Yao Xianding of Guarding Principle Pavilion and Elder Cao Bing of Great Joy Mountain had already arrived with a large number of people from Wei State.
Shan Hai frowned and secretly thought, Why did they come here? What's going on?
Yan Li slightly raised his eyebrows, his eyes were treacherous.
"Yo, Brother Qian and Brother Liu are also here." Seeing the people from Qi State, Cao Bing, who had just arrived, sneered.
Qian Fucheng and Liu Xinggao looked at Wei State's side and seemed to be aware of their intention. Liu Xinggao asked, "Why don't I see Elder Mu of Spirit Void Manor?"
Cao Bing directly said, "He's missing. He's missing. Why don't I see Brother Ning of Great Qiu Clan? "
Liu Xinggao snorted coldly, "He's also missing."
Cao Bing said, "If that's the case, we have the same intention."
Several people looked at Yan's side. Qian Fucheng snorted, "Brother Chu, it seems that you have to give us an explanation today!"
Chu Fengping said in a deep voice, "Are you threatening me? Do you think that I, Yan, am made of clay? "It was obvious that he wanted to tie Xiao Yao Palace and Purple Golden Cave together to fight against Wei State.
Yan Li gave a glance to the disciple beside him. The disciple of the Purple Golden Cave immediately made a gesture with his hands behind his back. Then, a disciple of Purple Golden Cave flashed over and urgently reported, "Elder, we found traces of the group of demons and ghosts from overseas. Niu Youdao seems to be mixed with them."
Chu Fengping, who was in the middle of a confrontation, was suddenly startled. He turned his head and asked, "What did you say? Niu Youdao is together with that group of people from overseas? "
That disciple didn't seem to dare to answer casually. He looked at Yan Li's expression.
Yan Li said, "Don't beat around the bush. Just say it."
That disciple then replied to Chu Fengping, "Yes, Niu Youdao is among them."
Chu Fengping asked again, "How many?"
That disciple replied, "I'm not sure, but there are at least a thousand of them."
Chu Fengping's face darkened and his expression twitched. Previously, he suspected that it was Niu Youdao. After all, Cai Jinqi and the others were chasing after Niu Youdao. However, he felt that it wasn't right. Cai Jinqi and such a large group of martial arts experts were working together. How could Niu Youdao deal with them? Now, he finally found the answer to the question that he couldn't figure out. It turned out that Niu Youdao was in cahoots with the group of demons and ghosts from overseas.
"We've fallen into that bastard's trap!" After thinking it through, Chu Fengping angrily stomped his feet and said, "Don't fall into my hands. Otherwise, I'll tear him into pieces!"
Yan Li frowned and asked, "Brother Chu, what do you mean?"
Chu Fengping didn't answer him. Instead, he looked at Wei Guo and Qi Guo and said, "I think I know what happened to Muyinggao and Ning Wu. They must have been murdered by Niu Youdao and his group."
Everyone looked at each other. Yao Xianding said, "What do you mean? How can you be sure that it has something to do with Niu Youdao?"
