As he spoke, he patted Tai Shu Feihua's shoulder.
Tai-shu Feihua's shoulder shook, and he shook off Yan Cang's hand. He didn't seem to be disgusted by it. He snorted, "Who can tell for sure?"
His words were modest, but the tone of his voice and the expression between his brows did not necessarily mean that he was belittling himself. There was a hidden meaning of 'if I can't do it, who else can?'
Everyone glanced over. No matter if they understood or not, they couldn't refute him. What could they do? The Cloud Weapon Sect had always gotten first, and it was very likely that they would get first this time.
However, Yu Cang was worried when he heard this. If the Cloud Weapon Sect got first, wouldn't Niu Youdao be dead for sure?
In fact, he didn't have much hope for Niu Youdao to get first place. Not to mention first place, there were so many people in the secret territory who wanted to kill Niu Youdao. It would be great if Niu Youdao could come out of the secret territory alive, even if he was killed by the Misty Pavilion after coming out.
But if he gave up just like that, he really couldn't. He couldn't accept it. How could he be satisfied until all hope was gone? They were still hoping for a miracle when the iron tree blossomed. The feeling of knowing the answer but not letting it go was torturous. He had been unable to eat or sleep well for the past year, and the closer it was to the result, the worse it felt …
The closer it was to the opening, the more nervous the people in the Heaven Capital Secret Territory became.
They all knew that the closer it was to the end, the more things could change.
The Wan Shou Clan, the Spirit School, and the Tian Xing School, which were the closest to the entrance of the secret zone, were on high alert. The disciples of the three sects took turns to be on guard all day long. They were afraid that someone would get desperate and attack them, because something like this had happened in the past.
The people of the Yan, Wei, and Qi also kept their eyes and ears open. To them, there were still the remnants of the Jin, the Han, and the Song, as well as the demons and ghosts of the four seas. Who could guarantee that they wouldn't join forces and fight back?
Elder Yan Li of the Purple Gold Cave looked serious, but in reality, he was the most relaxed person in the group.
Most of the other disciples in the sect might not be clear about the situation, but he was well aware of it.
There were no survivors of the Jin Nation, they had all been killed by Niu Youdao.
The threat of the Four Seas did not exist. Those demons and ghosts were already in cahoots with Niu Youdao.
The rest of the Han and Song troops could not wait to hide. How could they dare to counterattack?
The danger that the others were worried about did not exist at all. Of course, he was also putting on an act.
At this time, the Han and Song armies were hiding in the mountain, waiting!
Niu Youdao and the rest were also waiting!
The people outside the Secret Territory were waiting, and the people inside the Secret Territory were also waiting!
Nothing unexpected happened. What should have come was not overdue.
At the exit, a few wisps of faint mist appeared out of thin air. Dozens of Misty Pavilion members who had entered the Secret Heaven Capital Territory gathered around and waited quietly, staring at the floating mist.
The members of the three neutral sects also stared intently.
The elders of the Yan, Wei and Qi Sects also heard the news and rushed over.
Wisps of mist continuously seeped out of thin air, coming from an unknown source. Finally, an explosive point exploded, and a large amount of mist spewed out, covering a radius of about a hundred feet.
When the rolling fog had stabilized, the Misty Pavilion's people pulled on the iron chain that was connected to the empty space. They pulled a few times, and the other end of the empty space also pulled a few times, responding to this side.
After a few members of the Misty Pavilion met and discussed, one of them stood up and announced to the people who were looking at them, "The exit is open. The time limit is three days. Those who do not exit within three days will be considered to have violated the rules. Those who disobey will be killed!"
Everyone present knew what this meant. The entrance to the Secret Heaven Capital Territory would only be open for a year, and the exit would be open for fifty years.
Within these fifty years, the people inside the Secret Territory could leave at any time. To prevent people from delaying to avoid danger, every session had set the same rule. The time limit was only three days.
Those who left within three days would be fine, but those who left after three days would be killed by the Misty Pavilion!
Therefore, if he did not go out within these three days, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death. There was no way he could stay in the Mystery Land of Heaven Capital for too long. Even if he had enough Spiritual Seeds, a mature Spiritual Seed could only exist in this world for five years. After five years, it would dissipate into the unseen world.
After announcing the rules, the member of the Misty Pavilion smiled, "Everyone, you can go back now. Those who want to leave can leave now, and those who don't, we will not force you!"
What a joke, who wouldn't want to leave?
"Quick, gather the people, retreat!" The elders of the three neutral sects were the first to give the order to retreat.
The members of the three sects quickly gathered, and without any reluctance, they quickly left in front of everyone's eyes.
Wei Duo looked back three times with every step, and finally stopped.
"Go!" Ximen Qing Kong reminded.
Wei Duo, "I will wait for him!"
Ximen Qing Kong did not waste time with him. She grabbed his arm and forcefully dragged him out.
Yan Li and the others swallowed. They wanted to leave too, but it was not time for them to do so.
The three countries could not just go through the motions like the three neutral sects. The Dajin survivors, the Song and Han cultivators, and the Four Seas cultivators had not appeared yet. Any two of these three parties could easily take first place. They had the advantage and could leave at any time, so they wanted to try their best. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain if they gave up so easily.
Yan Li knew that it was impossible for the other parties to join forces to take first place. The result was already decided, but he could not say it out loud. He had to put on a good show.
In Niu Youdao's words, they had already put in enough effort and prepared enough. In the end, it was just a thin layer of window paper that could be broken with one poke.
As long as they did well in the early stage, there would be no difficulty in the end.
But Niu Youdao had increased the difficulty for themselves. They had no choice. In order to stabilize the situation in the outside world, they could not just focus on the present. As long as there was a chance, they could not just focus on the present and cause trouble in the future.
"Send the news," Yan Li, who had returned to his side, whispered to a disciple.
The disciple nodded slightly and left quickly.
…
"The news is here. The exit is open!"
The disciple of the Myriad Grotto-Heaven Abode who noticed the signal flew over and reported to Niu Youdao and the others. Everyone was excited and nervous at the same time.
Niu Youdao's eyes suddenly stared in the direction of the ancient forest. According to the agreement, once the three neutral sects left, Purple Golden Cave would send the news.
"How do we do it?" Even though it was already planned, Fuhua still could not help but ask.
A cold light flashed in Niu Youdao's eyes. He suddenly turned around and stared at her. "Since the plan has been made, we will naturally act according to the plan. Big Sister, do you have any other ideas?"
Fuhua smiled to cover up her embarrassment. "I just think that since things have come to this, why don't you come with us? As long as Purple Golden Cave goes easy on us, there won't be any problems. Why go through so much trouble?"
"No!" Niu Youdao refused. "I said, we must give Purple Golden Cave an excuse for not trying their best to stop us! Is Big Sister trying to ruin my plan? I think I need to remind you that if there is any problem with the control of Southern Region, and the other countries want to cause trouble for you, I will be powerless. I can only stand by and watch! The spiritual seed is in your hands. Is there something that Big Sister is worried about? "
Fuhua smiled. "Little Brother, you think too much. I'm just thinking for your sake. I'm afraid that you won't be safe alone!"
Niu Youdao said, "Don't worry. I've secretly made arrangements on that side. Nothing will happen."
"If that's the case, then let's act according to the original plan." Fuhua smiled and said no more.
Niu Youdao turned around and faced Wu Zhaoxing, Yun Ji and her son, Situ Yao, and the others. "I'll go first. You guys wait until tomorrow and go with them!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Turning around again, Niu Youdao cupped his hands at everyone and said in a powerful voice, "Please!"
The group also cupped their hands to send him off.
Without further delay, Niu Youdao no longer lingered. He turned around and soared into the sky, quickly flew away, and gradually disappeared from everyone's sight...
After barging into the ancient forest, Niu Youdao found a secluded place and quickly hid himself. He quietly observed his surroundings for a while before stabbing the sword in his hand into the ground. He then took out a mask from his sleeve and covered his face with it. After that, he quickly changed his clothes and wore the clothes he was wearing on the outside.
When he reappeared, he had changed into the Misty Pavilion's people's attire. He circled around the group and chose the direction where the Spirit Sword Mountain was defending.
He didn't go through the Purple Golden Cave because he didn't want the Purple Golden Cave to have too many loopholes. He didn't go through the Carefree Palace because the Carefree Palace's disciples had seen him in the Misty Pavilion's attire.
Even if Yan Li didn't remind him about this, he would still pay attention to avoid it.
Going straight all the way, he didn't worry that the Spirit Sword Mountain's disciples would find him. Instead, he was on high alert to avoid being seen by the Misty Pavilion's people.
However, there was one thing that he was sure of, and that was that the Misty Pavilion's people wouldn't sneak around. As long as he paid attention, he could easily find them and avoid them.
The Spirit Sword Mountain's disciples in the forest were alarmed, but when they saw the Misty Pavilion's people passing by, they directly ignored them.
There were a lot of Misty Pavilion's people here, so it was normal for people to come and go. No one would take it seriously.
When he was about two miles away from the exit, he could vaguely see the lingering fog in the forest. After estimating that he could reach it in three leaps and bounds, Niu Youdao didn't dare to go any closer. That place was where the Misty Pavilion's people gathered. If he went any closer, he would be easily discovered.
On the spot, he dove into the forest and found a place that could block his line of sight. As soon as he landed, he immediately took off his mask and crushed it into powder.
He also took off the Misty Pavilion's coat, rolled it on his hands, and crushed it into powder. Since he was already here, it was impossible for him to hide this thing on his body, and it was impossible for him to take it out and destroy it.
After that, he leaped onto a treetop, and with a flash, he flew directly above the treetop, heading straight for the target area.
However, as soon as he flew, he was discovered by someone. Someone shouted, "Who are you? Stop! "
One after another, people appeared from the forest. Immediately, someone shouted, "Niu Youdao! It's Niu Youdao! "
