In the boundless sky, several large birds, carrying Ling Yunke, chased after the setting sun.
Yu Wenyan, whose golden body was dyed by the setting sun, suddenly sighed.
The elder riding the same bird looked at him and asked, "Leader, why are you sighing?"
Yu Wenyan shook his head and said, "Nothing."
The elder asked again, "Are we going to forget about Kun Lin Shu and not talk about it?"
He had wanted to ask before, but seeing that he was thinking, he didn't want to disturb him. Now that he came back to his senses, he naturally wanted to solve his doubts.
Yu Wenyan didn't answer his question, and sighed with his hands behind his back, "The letter should be sent by Niu Youdao."
The elder was puzzled, "Since you know it was sent by him, why is he still pretending? Why didn't you expose him? Did you have some agreement with him?"
"No!" Yu Wenyan shook his head, "How? Do you have any evidence? How can you say that he sent the letter? He definitely won't admit it. Without evidence, Purple Golden Cave will inevitably suspect that we are trying to sow discord. Now that I think about it, no wonder the person who sent the letter didn't want to reveal his identity. Even if we expose him, what can we do to change the result? "
The elder said, "At least we can make that Niu Youdao suffer, so that he won't think that our Heavenly Fire Cult is easy to fool."
Yu Wenyan said, "Don't say such words. It's not by chance that Niu Youdao can achieve what he has today. Seeing him today, I know that he has a long-term vision and ambition. I can't wait! "
The elder was slightly dissatisfied. "Sect Leader's words are a little biased. Of course, I admit that he does have some ability. Otherwise, he wouldn't be where he is today. However, we may not be as weak as Sect Leader says. Could it be that our Heavenly Fire Order, which is full of talents, is inferior to a cow like him?"
Yu Wenyan smiled and released one of her hands from her back, waving it. Obviously, she didn't want to continue this topic, but she said, "Kun Lin Shu is a person who values friendship. Tell Pang Zuo to watch over him, but don't neglect him. "
The elder was stunned and immediately said in a solemn voice, "Sect Master, I don't agree with your words! I know you've been biased towards Kun Linshu before. You've said it out loud in Niu Youdao's thatched cottage that you want to groom him. But what was the situation now? He was an ungrateful traitor who had already betrayed the Heavenly Fire Cult. The Sect Leader still said that he valued friendship. Was there such a sinful disciple who valued friendship? What would the disciples of the sect think if they heard this? Sect Leader, please be careful with your words! "
Yu Wen Yan was silent, as the other side said, Kun Lin Shu had such a thing, it was really not good to speak for Kun Lin Shu, traitor, he could not help the people who betrayed the sect to speak, otherwise it would inevitably cause a great disturbance in the sect.
If it was earlier, he would not have said anything good about Kun Linshu. However, ever since he saw through Niu Youdao's tricks, he began to reflect on himself.
Why did Niu Youdao put in so much effort to obtain the kunlin tree? This meant that Niu Youdao thought highly of the kunlin tree and felt that it was useful. Who would want a useless piece of trash?
Was there a need to say more about why he thought highly of the kunlin tree? Kun Lin Shu was the only person after the third generation of the Heavenly Fire Cult to successfully cultivate the Boundless Fire Technique!
Even if it was difficult for him to inherit the great cause of the Heavenly Fire Cult in terms of intellect and character, it was undeniable that he was a talent in certain aspects. The whole Heavenly Fire Cult only had one talent every few hundred years, and the Heavenly Fire Cult had invested a lot of resources to nurture him. Was it really appropriate to force him away because of the internal strife in the sect?
This was also the reason why he praised Niu Youdao for his foresight.
Even outsiders wanted him, but the Heavenly Fire Cult had to give up on him. How could he not reflect on himself?
He was not an Elder below him, he was the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Fire Cult. He had the responsibility of being a bridge between the upper and lower levels. The Elder's thinking and the Sect Leader's thinking were different because of the difference in level.
This was also the reason why he had talked to Kun Lin Shu earlier, wanting to support him.
Later on, Kun Lin Shu's actions had indeed infuriated him and changed his original intention. He felt that mud could not be raised to a wall, but now because of Niu Youdao, he had come to a realization. Of course, there was also the collective pressure from the sect's Elders. He was hesitant and had too many concerns. He did not know what a Sect Leader should stand for.
The Heavenly Fire Cult had invested so many resources to nurture this talent. How could they not use it for themselves, and instead hand it over to others?
However, with Kun Lin Shu's situation, there was no way he could return to the Heavenly Fire Cult now. Once he returned, he would definitely become the target of public criticism. How could a sect tolerate a traitor? He would definitely be severely punished! The entire sect was indignant. This involved the righteousness of the sect. Even he, the Sect Leader, could not protect Kun Lin Shu!
Instead, Niu Youdao's actions reminded him that he had to face the entire Heavenly Fire Cult. Niu Youdao also had to face the Purple Golden Cave. Even Niu Youdao knew how to play around, so why did he not know how to be flexible?
Therefore, he decisively gave up on bringing the kunlin tree back. He didn't even bother to continue the conversation with Purple Golden Cave. He just gave a perfunctory reply and acted as if the Heavenly Fire Sect was unyielding to the sect.
Since Kun Lin Shu had already mastered the highest secret technique of the Heavenly Fire Cult, it did not matter where he cultivated.
The crux of the problem was the future. Whether or not he could be used by the Heavenly Fire Cult in the future, the journey to the Saint State was a hurdle!
When he said that Kun Lin Shu valued friendship, he was not actually speaking for Kun Lin Shu, but his subsequent plans. It was just that the Elder did not understand. It was not easy for him to explain. If he did, no one would agree with his actions. As the Sect Leader, it was not good for him to indulge a traitor.
This also led to his later words. Look after Pang Zuo well, but do not neglect him. The goal was not to break the friendship between Kun Lin Shu and the Heavenly Fire Cult!
The attitude of the Elder beside him was explosive. This made him even more determined to hide his intentions. He knew what to do next, and he would not discuss it with the sect …
…
Outside the Great Jin Kingdom's palace, a horse carriage stopped. Shao Pingbo alighted from the carriage. Holding the Black Water Platform token, he passed through the guards at the palace gates and hurried into the palace.
The token was given to him by Tao Lve, the Minister of the Imperial Household, who was in charge of the Black Water Platform. Of course, it was also with the Emperor's permission. Shao Pingbo's current matters needed to be kept secret, and he also needed to maintain timely communication with the palace. That was why he was given a certain amount of access.
With this token, he did not need to report. He could enter the palace as a secret agent of the Black Water Platform and see the Minister of the Imperial Household, Tao Lve, at any time.
Shao Pingbo walked very quickly. His expression was solemn. He did not know what had happened.
The Emperor had given him an important task. It was an important task that the Emperor had always urged him to hurry up. He had already pushed it to the critical moment and grasped the most important part. He had also reported it to the Emperor for preparations. He was about to launch a fatal attack on Wei Guo. The Emperor had also allowed it and was very happy. He had even praised it repeatedly.
Who knew that just now, Tao Lve would suddenly send someone to inform him, ordering him to immediately stop the secret plan at hand.
He did not give any reason. He just wanted him to stop immediately. The messenger did not know what it meant. He only said that the Minister of the Imperial Household had sent an edict.
Shao Pingbo found it a little hard to accept that he was suddenly told to stop at a critical moment. The success or failure of this matter concerned his future in Jin State. What was the purpose of his painstaking planning for this matter all these years?
What on earth happened? It was impossible for him not to find out and enter the palace urgently.
With the token in his hand, Shao Pingbo smoothly went deep into the palace and met the Minister of the Imperial Household, Tao Lve.
Tao Lve seemed to know that he was coming. He raised his hand to signal him to be calm. "Just now, a few officials asked to see you. The Emperor is meeting with them. Sir Shao, please wait for a moment."
Shao Pingbo wanted to say something but stopped. He really wanted to ask Tao Lve what was going on. He believed that Tao Lve should know.
A group of palace maids passed by with something in their hands. Tao Lve looked around and shook his head at him.
Shao Pingbo bowed to him. He understood what he meant. The palace was not a quiet place. There were many spies in the court. This was not a place to talk about confidential matters. Once the secret was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although he was anxious, he could only wait patiently. Because of Tao Lve's attitude, he had a certain judgment. The plan should not be canceled, but he did not know what happened.
He waited for a full hour. After an hour, he saw the three officials from afar coming out of the imperial study. Tao Lve waved his hand and led him to the imperial study.
Although he led Shao Pingbo directly into the imperial study, Tao Lve still reported, "Your Majesty, Sir Shao has arrived!"
Tai-shu Xiong, who was sitting behind the desk, threw down the text in his hand. He looked at Shao Pingbo who bowed and stood up. "I knew you would come. I was waiting for you."
Shao Pingbo cupped his hands and said, "I don't understand. Now that things have come to this, why does Your Majesty want to stop the plan?"
Tai-shu Xiong pondered and said, "I know what the Mist Manor means to Xuan Wei. They are her eyes and ears. Why do I feel that something is wrong when Xuan Wei handed over the authority of the Mist Manor so easily? Are you sure there is no problem?"
It can't be because of this, right? Shao Pingbo felt that something was wrong. Tai-shu Xiong was not an indecisive person. He immediately guaranteed, "I am willing to use my head as a guarantee that there will be no problem. I have been paying close attention to Xuan Wei all these years. I have been paying attention to her every move. According to various signs, I suspect that Xuan Wei has been affected by love and seems to have the intention to retreat. More importantly, Xuan Wei has been managing Wei Country for many years. She has deep roots and great influence. She can take back what she has let go of at any time. But this is not important. Your Majesty, we have to seize this opportunity to deal a fatal blow! "
"Your Majesty, Xuan Chengtian's side has been agitated to a certain extent. They can take action anytime. Why do you still sit and watch such a good opportunity? Hasn't Your Majesty been waiting for this day to come? "
Tai-shu Xiong paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, "It's not that I want to sit and watch. After receiving your report, I immediately contacted Cloud Weapon Sect. Once the war starts, Cloud Weapon Sect will need to organize a large number of cultivators to cooperate with them. But Cloud Weapon Sect has doubts about taking action at this time. They don't agree to take action at this time, so I can only stop! "
Cloud Weapon Sect interfered? Shao Pingbo was astonished, "This … Your Majesty, why? Cloud Weapon Sect shouldn't! "
Tai-shu Xiong stopped and faced him. Slowly, he said, "Have you forgotten about the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm? Because of what happened in the Heaven Capital Mystery Realm, Misty Pavilion issued an order to the world to stop the war. They directly froze the war between all the countries! "
Shao Pingbo was stunned. Something flashed through his mind and he blurted out, "Could it be the Saint Realm?"
Tai-shu Xiong nodded and smiled. It's so easy to talk to smart people. "That's right. It's because of the Saint Realm! This time, the Saint Realm wants all the sects to send people to train. If we start the war now and Misty Pavilion froze the war again, it would be a big joke. "
