There was still a glimmer of hope. She hoped that Niu Youdao would not be able to get the first place. If that happened, Niu Youdao would not be able to live!
As for those three men, they didn't have absolute confidence. They also knew under what circumstances they gave themselves to those three men, and they also knew that they were a joke in the eyes of others. They were afraid that others would look down on them. Naturally, they were also worried that those three men would abandon them.
As for whether they would regret it or not, they didn't have the slightest confidence. Like Niu Youdao, they didn't have the slightest confidence.
They didn't know the situation. They didn't know how many people Niu Youdao had arranged to escape from the secret territory. If they knew, perhaps their intestines would turn green with regret.
At present, they could only pin their hopes on the man that they gave themselves to, and this was the only thing they could hope for...
Niu Youdao didn't notice the three women, but he noticed another woman, Yan Baoru!
He stared at this woman with a faint smile. He didn't know what was going on with Yan Li. With so many people guarding the exit, this woman actually managed to escape!
Yan Baoru also saw him. When her gaze met his faint smile, her heartstrings trembled. An inexplicable sense of fear and panic welled up in her heart.
However, she quickly calmed down. This was the Heaven Valley. Would Niu Youdao dare to mess around in the Heaven Valley? However, it wasn't as if Niu Youdao had never messed around in the Heaven Valley.
When she tilted her head to look elsewhere, she saw the people from the three neutral sects on the other side of the cliff. Obviously, some of them had already coldly stared at her.
A wave of sadness welled up in her heart. She knew that once she left this place, what would happen to her? She had publicly set up the three sects, how could the three sects let her go? Once she left this place, she would probably be hunted down!
"Martial Uncle!" Two Spirit Sword Mountain disciples who were sent out earlier came to find Chu Fengping.
Upon being reminded, Chu Fengping suddenly turned around and stared at Niu Youdao, who was standing on the cliff with a sword in his hand. His cheeks twitched a few times, and his eyes seemed to be filled with anger.
Niu Youdao also saw him. His expression was calm as he stared back at him.
One after another, the disciples of Spirit Sword Mountain looked at Niu Youdao on the cliff. Their movement attracted the attention of the people of Xiao Yao Palace and Purple Golden Cave.
Niu Youdao? Everyone had different expressions.
In short, whether it was the Yan Kingdom, the Wei Kingdom, the Qi Kingdom, or the Han Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, they were all secretly envious of Niu Youdao. Niu Youdao had lured people out of the four kingdoms and killed a bunch of them.
"The secret territory is over. The people from the Misty Pavilion are still waiting for us to take inventory. Let's go, let's go." Yan Li said.
At the mention of the Misty Pavilion, no one dared to delay any longer. According to the agreement, Yan, Wei and Qi's people would check the spiritual seeds together.
Han Country and Song Country, who were in the war of extermination, also gathered together. Both sides used their spiritual seeds to compete for the ranking.
At the exit of the Heaven Valley, the Great Sage of Eastern Sea, the West Sea Goblin King, the South Sea Law King, and the North Sea Lord appeared again to see the final result. Listening to other people's words, the people of the four seas seemed to help Niu Youdao get a good result. The four of them were a bit surprised. What was going on?
"Hey! The people from Jin State didn't come out. "Someone noticed the abnormality.
The group of people gathered at the exit listened carefully and thought, Hey, it's true. It's rare for Jin State not to get the first place, but this time, they didn't come out. What exactly happened in the secret territory?
Everyone looked at Taishu Feihua, the leader of the Cloud Tool Sect, and saw his livid face. Many people were secretly gloating.
"Hey! The people from Zhao State didn't come out either. "Someone made a new discovery.
Needless to say, Zuo Chengfeng, the leader of the Sunset Villa, Jiang Wanlou, the leader of the Gui Yuan Sect, and Mi Man, the leader of the Gathering Immortals Sect, had been paying attention to their own people. They had long noticed that the people from Zhao State didn't come out, and their faces darkened.
Long Xiu, Meng Xuan, and Gong Lince felt slightly uneasy. They had already faintly noticed that everyone was looking at them from time to time. They also noticed that among the people who came out, Yan State seemed to have the most people.
Didn't this mean that Yan State was the one who benefited the most, and also the one who caused the most harm to the other sects?
They guessed this, and so did the others.
…
In the afternoon, all the spiritual seeds brought out from the secret territory had been counted. Bai Yulou, who was in charge of the affairs, flew up to the opposite cliff with the results that he had verified repeatedly.
At this moment, everyone realized that Rulai Sha had arrived at the scene. He was standing on the cliff with his hands behind his back, watching from the side. He slowly reached out to take the paper that Bai Yulou handed over and read it.
The people sent by the Ten Thousand Heavenly Cave Mansion to scout for information had also returned. They secretly reported the results of the other sects' settlements to Niu Youdao.
Although they didn't know exactly how many spiritual seeds the other sects had obtained, they could already confirm that the five sects didn't work together.
After eliminating the last possibility, Niu Youdao's heart was finally at ease. He turned to Fu Hua and the others and reminded them, "Pass down the order. Pretend that you don't know anything about the people from Jin State."
The others looked at each other, and Fu Hua said, "We were the ones who did it. This matter will be exposed sooner or later. There's no way to hide it."
Niu Youdao said, "At least we can hide it for now! The Cloud Ware Sect is very likely to be angry now. Don't tell me you want the Cloud Ware Sect to not let us go now? "
Hong Gaitian hesitated and reminded him, "The number of spiritual seeds in your hands is very difficult not to arouse suspicion."
Niu Youdao said, "Apart from us, no one can be sure how many spiritual seeds the Four Seas have collected. Apart from the ones we snatched, the rest were collected by you. What we know now is that Yan, Wei, Qi, Han, and Song joined hands to make Jin State's whereabouts unknown. Let the Cloud Ware Sect ask the five sects for an explanation. Regardless of whether the Cloud Ware Sect dares to bite the five sects, it can reduce the pressure on our side. "
The others nodded thoughtfully. Fu Hua asked, "Purple Golden Cave won't spill the beans, right?"
Niu Youdao said, "Don't worry about this. Purple Golden Cave won't expose my relationship with them for the time being. As long as we pass this hurdle and I stabilize the situation, the Cloud Ware Sect's anger will subside and they will calm down. They won't be able to act recklessly then. "
The others nodded slightly and understood what he meant. They quickly told the people around them to pass the message and let everyone say the same thing …
The first place is Niu Youdao?
Sha Rulai frowned when he received the name list. This result was out of his expectation. He knew that Niu Youdao had come out, but he didn't expect Niu Youdao to get the first place.
He actually dared to make a move in the Heaven Valley. Regardless of whether he was in the right or not, he forced Niu Youdao to get the first place because he wanted to force Niu Youdao into a dead end. He thought that Niu Youdao was doomed. He didn't expect that Niu Youdao would really get the first place. Was he trying to teach him a lesson?
He looked down and carefully looked through the ranking list. His eyes stopped at the first name for a while. Slowly, he asked, "How could he get the first place? Are you sure?"
Bai Yulou cupped his hands and said, "There's no mistake. I've checked it repeatedly. It's impossible for him to get the first place. However, from the signs I've observed, it was the group of people from the Four Seas that helped him. I'm sure that he joined hands with the people from the Four Seas to get the first place! "
"Four Seas …" Sha Rulai murmured.
With his personal intervention, Niu Youdao actually managed to escape the calamity. To be honest, he was a little annoyed by the name list. However, he couldn't go back on his words since he had said it in front of everyone. If he really did that, people would start to doubt whether the Misty Pavilion could keep their words and go back on their words at any time. How were they going to face each other in the future? Where were the rules?
After a moment of silence, he said, "Four Seas has never gotten the first place. Even if he joined hands with Ye Futian … Ye Futian must be quite capable to get the first place." He suddenly looked into the distance. "Huan Li isn't young anymore. What do you think?"
As soon as he said this, Bai Yulou realized something. He could understand the feelings of parents. They all wanted to find a good partner for their daughter. It was also understandable that they couldn't help but want to marry someone suitable. Moreover, they weren't that far apart in age.
After understanding the meaning behind the other party's words, he was secretly shocked. He hesitated for a while and didn't know how to reply.
"En?" Sha Rulai questioned. His gaze landed on Bai Yulou's face. There was a slight pressure as if he was asking, "I asked you a question. Did you not hear me?"
Bai Yulou hurriedly said, "It's the parents' decision for their children. From my point of view, this matter should be decided by Mister. However, according to the rules, Niu Youdao is too deeply involved in the conflicts of interest. If he is suddenly removed, the situation of the world will change. If we don't remove him and Mister continues to insist, the impact will be even greater. Who would dare to compete with Mister's people in the future? Some people will definitely not sit still and watch. It will definitely cause the nine Saint Venerables to tear up the agreement and personally intervene in the conflicts of interest. This matter has too great an impact. It wasn't easy for the nine Saint Venerables to set the rules and live in harmony for so many years. I'm afraid the higher-ups won't agree and won't be willing to change anything! "
He then added, "Mister, Niu Youdao is indeed too deeply involved."
Sha Rulai was silent. After a long time, he sighed softly. "Being born into a family like ours might be harming her!"
Bai Yulou understood what he meant. Ordinary people wouldn't be willing to marry the daughter of a family with such a background. It wouldn't be easy to pick a satisfactory one from a fixed circle. In short, there were too many interests involved in this matter. In the end, they wouldn't be able to escape the fate of being forced to marry. Sha Rulai wouldn't be able to hold on for long!
He had always been in Star picking City and knew a thing or two about some things. It wasn't that Sha Huanli hadn't met a man she liked before. However, the man was too weak and couldn't bear such a great fortune. In the end, he didn't even know how he died.
What kind of people were those who were qualified to marry Sha Huanli? How could they allow other men to lay their hands on her? Ordinary men couldn't withstand the evil hands of those people!
Not to mention others, Bai Yulou vaguely knew about Sha Rulai himself. This man had also paid the price for his willfulness. He didn't marry someone he should have married but married a woman he shouldn't have married, which was Sha Huanli's mother. As a result, the whereabouts of Sha Rulai's wife were still unknown.
Because of this, the relationship between the father and daughter had always been unpleasant and they didn't have any contact.
