In the State of Jin, Shao Pingbo strode into the palace with a heavy heart. Niu Youdao actually did not die?
After arriving here, he completely attached himself to Tai-shu Xiong. This was to make Tai-shu Xiong feel at ease. More importantly, he knew that his contact with the outside world was being monitored and he had almost no contact with the cultivation world. Hence, he was not too sure about the outcome of the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm.
Just now, he received a summons from Tai-shu Xiong, saying that he had received news from Niu Youdao about joining forces to attack Wei and Qi. Tai-shu Xiong wanted to ask for his opinion.
After asking a few more questions, he found out that not only did Niu Youdao come out of the mystery realm alive, he even suppressed the other heroes and clinched first place in this year's Heaven Capital Mystery Realm.
Not to mention the others, even the people from the State of Jin who entered the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm had received instructions to kill Niu Youdao in the mystery realm. How could they let Niu Youdao come out alive?
He was in a terrible mood because he still could not kill Niu Youdao.
Before entering a hall, Shao Pingbo regained his composure and greeted Tai-shu Xiong, who was sitting behind a table.
Shao Pingbo went straight to the point. "Niu Youdao wants to join forces with His Majesty to attack Wei and Qi. Is this reliable?"
Tai-shu Xiong pointed to two pieces of paper on the table. Chief Steward Tao Lue took them and passed them to Shao Pingbo.
"Previously, I wanted to ask if you are reliable. Who knew that I would just receive a report saying that Niu Youdao destroyed the peace talks between Yan and Zhao and forcefully started a war against the State of Zhao. Take a look at it together." Tai-shu Xiong said unenthusiastically.
After Shao Pingbo read the contents of the two pieces of paper, he was very bewildered. He asked, "Your Majesty, where did he get the troops to join forces with His Majesty to attack Wei and Qi? Now that he has started a war with the State of Zhao, how could he attack Wei and Qi? Isn't it a joke to fight three states at the same time? "
Tai-shu Xiong was also puzzled. "Then what does he mean? Messing around with this kind of thing is somewhat illogical. "
Shao Pingbo stepped forward and put the two pieces of paper back on the table. "Ignoring the suppression of the three major Yan factions, inciting a war and sending a letter to join hands with His Majesty. Niu Youdao acted so strangely the moment he came out of the Mysterious Land of Heaven Capital. Something must have happened before that prompted him to make such a decision. Does Your Majesty know what happened in the Secret Territory? "
Tai-shu Xiong sighed and said, "I knew you would ask this. I didn't tell you before because I wasn't clear about the situation here. I was also trying to understand the situation from the Cloud Equipment Sect."
Shao Pingbo asked, "What's the situation?"
Taishu Xiong shook his head. "The Cloud Artifact Sect isn't sure either."
Shao Pingbo was surprised. "The Cloud Tool Sect was in the secret realm. How could they not know what happened?"
Tai-shu Xiong lowered his eyebrows and said, "In this trip to the Secret Realm of Heaven Capital, the Cloud Weapon Sect suffered heavy losses. Their entire army was wiped out, and not a single person came out alive. Therefore, the Cloud Weapon Sect doesn't know much about it."
"Ah!" Shao Pingbo was shocked. He finally understood why Tai-shu Xiong was not in a good mood. Based on the previous situations, it was unbelievable that the Cloud Weapon Sect could suffer such a crushing defeat in the Secret Realm of Heaven Capital. He hurriedly said, "Then why don't you try to understand the situation from other people who came out?"
Tai-shu Xiong said, "I'm trying to understand it now. For this matter, the Sect Leader personally led the Cloud Weapon Sect to go overseas. They haven't returned yet. They are still running around the four seas looking for the demons and ghosts."
"Looking for the demons and ghosts of the four seas?" Shao Pingbo was puzzled.
Tai-shu Xiong personally took out a document from the file and threw it to him. "This is what we know about the Secret Territory from the Cloud Weapon Sect. You take a look."
Shao Pingbo couldn't wait to read it. The more he read, the more shocked he was. That guy dared to kill people in the Misty Pavilion, and the people he killed were the three Principal Elders from the Zhao Kingdom!
Before, he was wondering why Niu Youdao would be so high-profile to win the first place. It was not the style of the Niu Youdao who had been living in seclusion in the South State for a long time. Only now did he understand that he had to win the first place. If he didn't win, Niu Youdao wouldn't even be able to keep his life!
He also understood why the Sect Leader of the Cloud Weapon Sect went to look for the demons and ghosts overseas. Niu Youdao won the first place, but he gave the huge reward to the people overseas. This first place was obviously won by him and the people overseas. One got rich, and the other saved his life!
But there were still many things that were strange. He really wanted to know what happened in the Secret Realm. However, the information he got was limited. Basically, the information from the Cloud Weapon Sect was what they got after they left the Heaven Valley.
Without information, he couldn't make an accurate judgment.
Even so, this news still made his heart abnormally heavy. Rulai Sha had undoubtedly forced Niu Youdao onto the path of death, but Niu Youdao had actually managed to escape this calamity.
The more dangerous the situation was, the more he felt bad for Niu Youdao.
Noticing the change in his expression, Tai-shu Xiong couldn't help but sigh, "He was able to escape from death and get the first place. It was not a fluke. Looks like you were right. This Niu Youdao is really dangerous!"
What's the point of saying this now? Shao Pingbo closed the document and put it back on the table, "I'm afraid the Zhao Kingdom is in danger this time!"
Tai-shu Xiong replied, "What do you mean? Because he killed the Principal Elders of the three major sects? "
Shao Pingbo nodded, "He is a very rational person. Don't expect him to be impulsive. The Southern State is just beside the Zhao Kingdom. If he didn't feel threatened by the Zhao Kingdom, he wouldn't have dared to go against the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom. In order to make a move against the Zhao Kingdom, he didn't hesitate to step on the bottom line of the three major sects of the Yan Kingdom. He is really heartless towards the Zhao Kingdom! "
Tai-shu Xiong thought for a while and asked, "Do you think the Yan Kingdom has the ability to destroy the Zhao Kingdom? Is it possible that they are using a fight to promote negotiation? "
Shao Pingbo understood what he meant and shook his head, "The information is limited. I can't figure it out. I can only make a judgment based on my understanding of him."
"Let's wait and see. Sooner or later, there will be clues! It's not a bad thing for us if they fight. " Tai-shu Xiong waved his hand and put the matter aside. "I heard that the Wei Kingdom is progressing well?"
…
Tianwei Residence. Ximen Qingkong had returned.
Xuan Wei heard the news and walked out of the pavilion. She bumped into Ximen Qingkong who was walking towards her. Both of them stopped at the same time and stared at each other!
Ximen Qingkong had the urge to go up and hug this woman. But in the end, she restrained herself and said calmly, "Xuan Wei!"
Xuan Wei smiled and greeted, "It's good that you are back." She turned around and extended her hand, "I've prepared wine to welcome you back!"
Ximen Qingkong stepped forward and the two walked side by side along the corridor. On the way, Xuan Wei said a few words, "I heard that you sent the disciple of the Shangqing Sect back. Tang Yi heard the news and rushed back immediately. Why did you send a disciple of the Shangqing Sect to the door personally? "
Ximen Qingkong said, "That person is not bad. I like him."
"Oh!" Xuan Wei was surprised. If she remembered correctly, the person from the Shangqing Sect was a man. Ximen Qingkong said that he was not bad and liked him. This piqued her curiosity and she thought that she should meet him if there was a chance.
The two of them went up to the pavilion. They hadn't seen each other for a long time and had a lot to talk about. After they sat down, Xuan Wei personally poured wine for him.
Ximen Qingkong couldn't help but grab Xuan Wei's hand when she was pouring wine.
Xuan Wei's delicate body trembled slightly. Her heart was in turmoil and her cheeks were slightly red. She quickly looked around and struggled for a while. "Qingkong, it's not good to be seen by others."
Ximen Qingkong once again suppressed his impulse and let go of her hand.
The two of them sat across from each other and after exchanging a toast, their emotions seemed to have calmed down. Xuan Wei asked, "I sent a bird to pick you up. Why didn't you accept it? Why did you come back now?"
Ximen Qingkong said, "It doesn't matter if I'm alone. It's easy to escape in case of an emergency. Those people didn't find a chance to attack me in the Secret Territory. I was afraid that something might happen outside, so I avoided it. "
"It's good to be careful." Xuan Wei nodded slightly. "You too. The Secret Territory is dangerous. I've said it before, just take care of yourself."
She didn't say it clearly, but Ximen Qingkong knew what she meant. She pointed at Wei Duo, the burden. "I thought it would be very dangerous, but it turned out to be a little unexpected. Maybe it's because of Niu Youdao."
Xuan Wei was surprised. "Why do you say that?"
Ximen Qingkong said, "I'm not sure either. I just have a guess after seeing the final situation. Not long after I entered the Secret Territory, the demons and monsters from the four seas started to cause trouble. I don't know if it has anything to do with Niu Youdao, but the people from the seven countries were frightened. Later, the two sides started to fight again. Some people didn't have the time to care about me, so I had a smooth journey from the beginning to the end and didn't encounter any difficulties. It wasn't just me. Maybe the other people on the Elixir Roll also benefited from Niu Youdao. This time, the people at the top of the Elixir Roll didn't suffer any losses. The ones who suffered the most were the people from the seven countries. "
Xuan Wei's eyes flickered. "What happened in the Secret Territory? How did Niu Youdao get first place?"
"I didn't get along with the others at the start, so I'm not sure …" Ximen Qingkong really didn't know. Since the other party asked, he told her everything he knew. Finally, he concluded, "Surviving in adversity and getting first place, Niu Youdao is indeed capable. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it! I underestimated him when I said I would protect him at the start. "
Xuan Wei raised her cup and digested the information provided by Ximen Qingkong for a long time. She took a sip of wine and put down the cup. "The moment he came out of the Secret Territory, he caused a huge commotion. He went against the three major sects of the Yan Country, ruined the peace talks, and started a war with Zhao!"
Ximen Qingkong nodded. "I heard about it on the way here. This fellow is indeed different from me. He's too good at causing trouble."
Xuan Wei: "There's something else you haven't heard. The moment he came out of the mystic realm, he sent me a message and actually threatened me. He said that Wei Guo provoked him in the mystic realm and wanted to attack Wei Guo! What a joke. I want to see where he gets his troops to threaten Wei Country! "
Ximen Qingkong frowned. "After interacting with Niu Youdao, my instincts tell me that he isn't the type to boast. Since he said that, you have to be careful."
Xuan Wei smiled confidently. "You're overthinking. I'm confident about this. He doesn't have the ability to make a move."
Ximen Qingkong said, "Xuan Wei, I don't understand these things. You said you would wait for me to come back."
Xuan Wei said shyly, "Wait a little longer. His Majesty is already taking over the government. I can't just wash my hands of everything. I'll give him some time to adapt."
Ximen Qingkong was very happy to hear that. "I was thinking too much. So you've already made the arrangements."
Xuan Wei shook her head. "It's not that I've made the arrangements. His Majesty's personality seems to have changed. He's starting to attend court and ask about the government affairs. Since he's taking the initiative, I'm also happy. Give me some time to gradually hand over power. "
Ximen Qingkong was a little confused. After interacting with Wei Country for so many years, he was all too clear about what kind of person Wei Country Xuan Chengtian was. Why would he take the initiative to ask about the government affairs?
Although he hoped that Xuan Wei would go far away with him, he didn't want any trouble that would make Xuan Wei uneasy. He tried to ask, "You're saying that His Majesty's personality suddenly changed while I was away? Will there be any problems?"
Xuan Wei smiled. "It's a good thing that he's willing to handle the government affairs. I'll be watching from the side. What problems can there be?"
