They ignored all warnings and rushed in under the night sky. They really didn't care about the Purple Golden Cave at all.
When the Purple Golden Cave disciples who were intercepting them in the air saw clearly who they were, they took out their whistling arrows and did not dare to make another move. They could only watch helplessly as the five large birds flew directly towards the sect's important place.
When they arrived above the main hall, the five large birds began to circle at a low altitude. They even shuttled back and forth between the towering buildings as if they were patrolling.
A group of Purple Golden Cave disciples appeared and flashed to the roof to be on guard. When they saw who they were, they didn't dare to act rashly. They all kept quiet out of fear.
Suddenly, five people flashed down from the large birds and landed directly in the courtyard behind the main hall. They were wearing the uniform of the Misty Pavilion. The leader was Huang Ban from the Saint Land.
After Ding Wei gave the order, the Misty Pavilion immediately sent out a large number of people to search for Niu Youdao. Huang Ban himself led a group of people to the Purple Golden Cave, because it was the most likely place that Niu Youdao would come back.
"Is the head of the Purple Golden Cave Gong Lince here?" Huang Ban coldly glanced around and shouted. The five large birds were still flying in the sky.
When the people from the Misty Pavilion arrived, someone immediately reported to Gong Lince.
Gong Lince heard the news and came out immediately. He couldn't help but feel scared. Why did the people from the Misty Pavilion suddenly come?
He couldn't help but think that it was Niu Youdao. He suspected that Niu Youdao didn't tell the truth. Did he do something in the Saint Land that caused the people from the Misty Pavilion to suddenly come? If that was the case, the consequences would be unimaginable.
When Gong Lince appeared, he happened to hear Huang Ban's words. He quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands, "I am Gong Lince. May I know your name?"
Huang Ban knew Gong Lince, but Gong Lince didn't know him. He replied, "Misty Pavilion's Huang Ban is here under orders."
Gong Lince said, "So it's Brother Huang. May I know what orders the Misty Pavilion has for you?" Sweeping his gaze over the commotion in the air, he came to a conclusion. For so many people to descend at once, it was definitely not a private matter.
Huang Ban asked, "Did Niu Youdao return to the Purple Golden Cave?"
Sure enough, it had something to do with Niu Youdao. Gong Lince's heart was in his throat. He cursed Niu Youdao in his heart. He tried to ask, "But what did Niu Youdao do in the Saint Land?"
Huang Ban was not in the mood to talk about the matters of the Saint Realm with him. He said bluntly, "I asked you if Niu Youdao returned to the Purple Golden Cave. Answer me honestly!"
Gong Lince replied apprehensively, "Yes, I just came back today."
Huang Ban's eyes lit up, "Don't try to fool me. Niu Youdao really came back?"
According to his normal estimations, the Saint Territory would be a long way from here. He would also have to cross the territory of the Kingdom of Song to get here. It could be said that the journey was long. He had left the Saint Territory and rushed to the Purple Golden Cave directly. He felt that Niu Youdao would not be back so soon. He felt that he should be able to catch up to him before Niu Youdao.
He didn't know that Niu Youdao borrowed a flying beast from the Great Sage of the Eastern Sea.
In fact, as soon as the Misty Pavilion's eyes and ears were opened, they had already grasped Niu Youdao's whereabouts from the East Sea. Niu Youdao's movements in the East Sea were not small, and could not be hidden from the Misty Pavilion's eyes and ears. But because Huang Ban had gone straight to the Purple Gold Cave, and because of the time difference, the news from the East Sea had not reached Huang Ban yet, and he was still on his way.
Huang Ban wanted to go to the place where Niu Youdao was most likely to come back and wait there. He wanted to use the Purple Golden Cave as the center to command the search for Niu Youdao.
Unexpectedly, the reply he got was that Niu Youdao had returned.
Gong Lince replied with sincerity, "I dare not lie to you. Niu Youdao has really returned. He only arrived a few hours earlier than Brother Huang."
Even though it was only a few hours, many things had happened in these few hours.
Huang Ban heaved a sigh of relief. He finally felt relieved. Otherwise, he would have let Niu Youdao run away just like that and caused a problem in the sage realm to occur. Huang Ban wouldn't be able to escape responsibility then.
Even though it was caused by Luo Fangfei, it was not up to him to decide what to do with her. Luo Fangfei had the support of Luo Qiu, and no one could do anything to her. Huang Ban was different. He was in charge of the group of Saint Land members. He could have stopped Luo Fangfei, but it was because he had deserted his post that Luo Fangfei was able to take advantage of the loophole. If he were to be held accountable, he would be in deep trouble.
Therefore, all he could do was to make up for his mistake as soon as possible. Otherwise, Ding Wei would not be able to speak up for him. Ding Wei had the support of the Nine Great Masters. It would be hard to do anything to Ding Wei. If he were to be punished, Huang Ban would definitely be the one to take the blame. This was without a doubt.
How could he not be happy to be able to find Niu Youdao so easily?
However, he was still curious, "Why did Niu Youdao come back so quickly?"
Gong Lince's heart thumped when he heard this. He was even a little mad. The other party did not know why Niu Youdao came back so quickly. Could it be that Niu Youdao that bastard was lying and he had actually escaped back?
He asked fearfully, "He came back after a few days. Wasn't it someone from the Saint Land who sent him back? According to him, it was the Pavilion Master of Fangfei Pavilion who chased him out of the Saint Land. "
Huang Ban tilted his head speechlessly. He knew that he had misunderstood. He continued, "Sect Master Gong, what I mean is, the Saint Island is very far from here. How did he come back in such a short time?" He had to go back to report on this matter. He definitely had to figure it out first before he could answer.
Gong Lince grunted, his heart finally calming down. He replied, "It was someone from the Eastern Sea who sent a flying bird to send him back."
So that's how it was. Huang Ban said, "Looks like this Elder Niu of yours has a lot of connections. Sect Master Gong, let's cut to the chase. Where is Niu Youdao? Ask him to come see me immediately. "
Gong Lince immediately turned around and ordered, "Go, quickly ask Elder Niu to come over."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Ban suddenly warned, "Sect Master Gong, don't blame me for not warning you. You better bring Niu Youdao here obediently. Don't play any tricks. If you let Niu Youdao escape, you won't be able to bear the responsibility! "
This was Purple Golden Cave's territory. They only had a few people and they were not familiar with the terrain. If Purple Golden Cave really wanted to play some tricks and let Niu Youdao escape, they would not be able to defend against it.
"Brother Huang, don't worry." Gong Lince promised. He waved his hand and said, "Ask Elder Yan to personally bring more people."
Huang Ban was still worried. Now that things had come to this, he didn't want anything to go wrong. "Let's go personally!"
"Alright!" Gong Lince smiled and nodded. He extended his hand in invitation. Although he looked calm on the outside, he was still bewildered. He didn't know why people of the Saint Realm came looking for Niu Youdao.
On the way, he wanted to ask about it, but Huang Ban told him not to ask. Gong Lince could only smile and say nothing.
The other elders of the sect had heard the news and rushed over. Yan Li, who got the news, found the joy of revenge and looked forward to Niu Youdao's misfortune …
Niu Youdao, who had just returned to the Thatched Cottage, was reading all the information he had received during the few days he was away. He wanted to see if there were any unusual clues.
"Daoye!" Duan Hu's anxious voice came from outside the door. He knocked on the door twice urgently before pushing it open and entering. "Taoist Grandpa, Gong Lince has brought his men and people from the Misty Pavilion and barged in."
"Misty Pavilion?" Niu Youdao, who was sitting behind the table with the intelligence report in his hand, was startled. He suddenly stood up and said, "Inform Hong Niang to get everyone ready. Once there's an accident, we'll immediately kill our way out. Watch my eyes!"
He couldn't understand why the Misty Pavilion would suddenly come looking for him. He had to prepare for the worst. If there were any changes, he couldn't just sit and wait for death.
"Yes!" Duan Hu replied and ran away.
However, just as he ran out of the door, he bumped into Gong Lince and the others who had directly barged in. Duan Hu immediately avoided them and pulled Guan Fangyi who was accompanying the guests from the side to pass on Niu Youdao's instructions.
Guan Fangyi was bewildered after hearing it. She quickly went to the side and called someone over to give a secret order. She specifically told them not to let the people of Five Liang Mountain know.
"Elder Niu!" Gong Lince, who had barged into the room, called out.
Niu Youdao had already picked up the treasured sword on the table and was standing on the ground. When he saw Huang Ban who had appeared with him, his face was filled with astonishment. "Manager Huang, why have you come?"
Huang Ban said, "It doesn't matter why I'm here. You have to return to the Sage Region with me now."
Niu Youdao was stunned, "Return? What for? "
Huang Ban said, "Do you need to ask so many questions? I'm asking you to return. Just follow me back obediently. "
Niu Youdao said, "I have to know why, right?"
Huang Ban said coldly, "There's no why."
Gong Lince interrupted, "Elder Niu, don't be rude. Follow the Misty Pavilion's orders and return to the Sage Region immediately!"
Niu Youdao said, "Misty Pavilion has issued a few orders. Who should I listen to? I don't want to leave the Sage Region. Pavilion Master Luo Fangfei of Fangfei Pavilion wants me to leave. Misty Pavilion didn't stop her. Now, Manager Huang wants me to return. Luo Fangfei wants me to leave and Manager Huang wants me to return. Should I leave or return? I can't afford to offend Misty Pavilion and Pavilion Master Luo Fangfei Pavilion. What choice do I have? "
He didn't know anything about the situation. How could he risk his life? If he couldn't do it, he could only fight to the death. He couldn't just sit and wait for death.
The reason was very simple. Luo Fangfei chased him out, and he ran back. This was equivalent to not listening to Luo Fangfei. If he went back and angered Luo Fangfei, it was very likely that that unreasonable woman would kill him in a fit of anger.
He turned around and asked Gong Lince, "Sect Leader, are you sure you want to go against Pavilion Master Luo Fangfei? If that's your decision, I will listen to Sect Leader and leave with Manager Huang immediately. "
He didn't dare to go against Misty Pavilion. He directly threw the responsibility to Gong Lince. He put himself behind Gong Lince. Even if the sky collapsed, Gong Lince would be the first to bear it.
"This …" Gong Lince's heart was instantly stabbed by these words. His head immediately swelled up and he was a little confused. He didn't expect things to turn out like this in the blink of an eye.
He couldn't afford to offend Misty Pavilion. How could Purple Golden Cave provoke Luo Fangfei? What should he do? It was really a dilemma. He felt that he had been tricked into a trap by Niu Youdao. Moreover, he was tricked so badly that he couldn't even blame Niu Youdao, because this was the truth!
