Back in the room, Niu Youdao took out the map of the Holy Land and spread it out. He took the ruler he made in his spare time and started to measure and draw on the map.
Following the location of the entrance and exit of the Holy Land, I measured the distance to Daluo Holy Land and estimated the time.
Then he measured the distance from the entrance and exit of the Holy Land to the Holy Land of Ice and Snow, and also estimated the time.
Finally, they measured the distance from Daluo Holy Land to Ice and Snow Holy Land. After estimating the time, they carefully checked the terrain on the three routes.
After looking at it for a while, I wandered in front of the case for a while. While I was wandering, I thought of something and quickly went to my desk to look at the map and think about it.
After repeating this for a while, Niu Youdao suddenly shouted, "Qin Guan!"
There were rapid footsteps outside. Qin Guan pushed the door open and asked, "Elder, what's the matter?"
Niu Youdao: "Notify the Demon Fox Division and tell me that I will participate in the routine clearing of the dead areas in the wasteland."
"This..." Qin Guan hesitated and did not accept the order in time. Instead, he solemnly reminded: "Elder, Piaomiao Pavilion is already dissatisfied with us. The Demon Fox Division is very likely to take the opportunity to kill us. The place where Huangze died is a good place for them to do it. , it’s too easy to get into trouble, elders, please think twice!”
Niu Youdao: "The various factions are so tossing, but Piaomiao Pavilion still swallows their anger, which shows that they are patient for the time being. I have made repeated accusations before, and it would be too obvious to retaliate against me now. They should not be so anxious, and they should not What's the matter? Don't worry, since I dare to go, I have a way to protect myself. Also, just in case, you two don't have to go. I will accompany them alone this time. "
Qin Guan said hurriedly: "We understand the elder's thoughtful intention to protect us. It is too dangerous for you to go alone. If something happens and you don't even have a helper, even if we go there, it will be of no use, at least we can help a little bit." "
Niu Youdao: "No need to say more, just do it like this."
Qin Guan had no choice but to retreat first, but then he invited Ke Dingjie to persuade him.
Faced with the two people's efforts to persuade each other to retreat, Niu Youdao hesitated again and again, and finally agreed to take them with him.
Originally, according to the two people's ideas, it was best to bring Kunlinshu with them. One more person would be able to help if something happened. However, Niu Youdao refused, so the two had no choice but to settle for the next best thing...
Zijin Cave, thatched cottage courtyard, Guan Fangyi hurriedly came to Yuan Gang's yard.
In the past, she would not have been so active when Yuan Gang wanted to recruit her. Since Niu Youdao's letter, she would arrive as soon as Yuan Gang called him.
After arriving, he followed Yuan Gang directly into the room, and the two closed the door.
Recently, the two of them were often alone in the same room together. Duan Hu, who was watching outside, almost misunderstood what was going on between the two. However, judging from some signs, it seemed that there was something else planned.
After entering the house and waiting for the door to close, Guan Fangyi immediately turned around and asked Yuan Gang in a low voice: "Is there a letter from Master Dao?"
Yuan Gang nodded and showed her the letter first to prove that there was indeed new news.
Guan Fangyi couldn't understand the handwriting on the letter. After confirming it, she returned it and asked, "What does the letter say?"
Yuan Gang: "Master Tao agreed with our judgment and believed that Sha Huanli should go to the Holy Land to attend Xue Luo'er's wedding. In view of this, Master Tao asked us to terminate the action of tying Sha Huanli."
"Terminated? Why?" Guan Fangyi was puzzled.
Yuan Gang: "What Master Tao means is to let Sha Huanli go to the Holy Realm, and Master Tao will do it himself in the Holy Realm."
Guan Fangyi was surprised, "Doing it in the Holy Land? Is it safe?"
Yuan Gang raised the letter in his hand and said, "Master Dao said that once something happens to Sha Huanli here, the situation will be very serious. It will turn the spiritual world and the secular world upside down. The impact will be too great and it will bring danger to many people. Taking action against Sha Huanli outside the Holy Land is a last resort. Now that there is a better option, it is most appropriate to take action inside the Holy Land. If something happens to Sha Huanli in the Holy Land, the situation will be controlled within the Holy Land, and you will only be suspicious. It was someone from the Holy Territory who did it, no one would believe that someone from outside the Holy Territory interfered, and there are nine families in the Holy Territory that check and balance each other and can’t cause too much trouble.”
Guan Fangyi said worriedly: "I am worried about Master Tao's safety in the Holy Territory. When Sha Huanli travels, she must be protected by experts. Does Master Dao have anyone in the Holy Territory? Is it too dangerous to act rashly? If it is really not possible. , you can send a message to Master Dao to discuss it, and then leave it to us to take action."
Yuan Gang: "I know him very well. Since Mr. Dao has made a decision, this reason of worrying about danger will definitely not convince him. Don't worry, Master Tao is better at making decisions and adapting to circumstances than we are. Since he has This plan must be certain. Of course, Master Dao still needs our cooperation."
Guan Fangyi asked quickly: "How to cooperate?"
Yuan Gang: "Master Dao's eyes and ears in the holy realm are limited, and no one can be sure that Sha Huanli will arrive on the wedding day, and there is a high possibility of leaving early to enter the holy realm. When we find out that Sha Huanli has set off, If the news is passed to the Taoist Master again, the news will change hands and change in the middle. I am afraid that the news cannot be transferred to the Taoist Master before Sha Huanli enters the Holy Realm. The Taoist Master's ears, eyes and manpower in the Holy Realm are limited and cannot respond temporarily. Therefore. , Master Tao asked us to know the exact time when Sha Huanli enters the Holy Realm in advance, so that it will be convenient for him to act there."
"This..." Guan Fangyi looked embarrassed, "Do you think it's possible? We can at most inquire about the information in Star Reaching City. At least we can't penetrate and grasp the situation in the city lord's mansion in a short time, let alone master Sha Huan. Li’s departure time.”
Yuan Gang: "Master Dao has taken this into consideration and has pointed out the direction. Let us contact Hong Gaitian, who is currently supervising Tianxia Bank. He said that Hong Gaitian is a man who is both rough and fine. He is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing. Let us Ask Hong Gaitian to secretly come forward to find Bai Yulou, the manager of Yaoyue Inn. Master Dao reminded me that Bai Yulou had received a sum of money from Master Dao and asked Hong Gaitian to start from this aspect... "
Seeing the dead land of the wasteland again, Niu Youdao, holding a sword with both hands, looked at the vast swamp under the protection of Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie.
Behind them, the key personnel of the Demon Fox Division were gathering together to lay out an action plan. Zhou Tianyu, who had just taken over the Demon Fox Division, did not want anything to happen during his first routine cleanup, so he personally came to lead the team and take charge of the operation.
During the arrangement, Zhou Tianyu occasionally looked back at Niu Youdao and found that Niu Youdao didn't seem to be interested in the cleanup plan here.
But for him, it was best not to be interested. He was most afraid that Niu Youdao would be interested in this place. It would be really troublesome to report any mistakes he made.
The more Niu Youdao stayed out of the matter, the more at ease he felt.
After the plan was finalized, Zhou Tianyu walked to Niu Youdao's side and said, "Elder Niu, we are ready to take action. Please come with me so that we can take care of you."
Niu Youdao smiled, "No, just leave a bird mount for us. We can look around in the wasteland."
Zhou Tianyu frowned: "Brother, the demon foxes here are not polite to other races other than demon foxes. I'm afraid it's not safe for you three, so it's safer to stay with us."
Niu Youdao: "Since I'm here to supervise, what's the point of following you to see what you've prepared? I'd rather ask Brother Zhou to do it for your convenience and give us some freedom of supervision, so that we can check what we want Check it out.”
Zhou Tianyu was cursing his mother in his heart, worried that something would happen to the guy in front of him, and that he would not be able to explain clearly when the time came.
However, Niu Youdao insisted on insisting, and since he was not one of his subordinates, and despite his status as an inspector, he could not force himself. He could only do as Niu Youdao said and left a large bird for Niu Youdao and the others.
After Yaohusi and his team escaped into the depths of the swamp, Niu Youdao and three others also set off, taking advantage of the big bird and hovering over the dead land of the wasteland.
After wandering around for a while, he found the place he was looking for in the air. Niu Youdao pointed to the location and landed.
After falling into a forest in the swamp, Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie quickly checked the situation in the forest.
Niu Youdao looked at the large birds preening next to him, then he grabbed a stone and cast a spell to make a hole in the middle of the stone. He took out a small circle of paper from his sleeve and filled it in. Then he slowly turned around and walked to a conspicuous place. Next to the boulder, he threw the stone in his hand at the foot of the boulder, then slowly turned back.
In the evening, Niu Youdao and the others rushed to the place where Yaohusi gathered to meet everyone and spend the night together.
After daybreak, Niu Youdao continued to act alone, and from time to time he would appear patrolling the sky above the hunting groups.
They were in the air and couldn't hear the shouts of the hunters below.
Two days later, Niu Youdao abandoned Qin Guan and Ke Dingjie somewhere, and flew away alone in a large bird. After flying over the vast swamp for a while, he escaped into a forest.
When he landed on the ground and looked around, a black fox jumped out of the grass and walked towards him. As he walked, he transformed into a man. It was Heiyun, the leader of the demon fox clan.
"Why did it take you so long to contact me?" Heiyun walked up to Niu Youdao and asked. Niu Youdao had said before that he would contact them as soon as possible.
Niu Youdao: "There is no other way. Finding a foothold first is the first priority. Besides, it's better for you and me to meet properly."
Heiyun: "Have you contacted Ao Feng from Wuliang Garden?" He was more concerned about the Fox Fairy Fruit.
Niu Youdao shook his head: "You are too anxious. Where is Wuliang Garden? How can I run there easily? I shouldn't go there easily without being fully prepared, otherwise it will arouse people's suspicion. If you don't go to that place, you will have to go there. Before that, I will try to avoid touching Wuliang Garden. Have you, the Fox Clan, found out anything new about Wuliang Garden?"
Hei Yun also shook his head: "It's still the same as before. I even touched it and took a look. Under the blockade of the large array, I couldn't see the shadow of Wuliang Garden at all, and I couldn't see anything inside."
Niu Youdao frowned. Regarding the situation of Wuliang Garden, he did not dare to ask anyone in Piaomiao Pavilion, or even ask, for fear of arousing suspicion. He only knew some of the information through the Fox Clan.
The demon fox clan has been coveting the Wuliang Garden for many years. Over the years, they have captured many people from the Piaomiao Pavilion in the wasteland. They have constantly inquired about the news in the Wuliang Garden. After years of accumulation, they have figured out some of the situations in the Wuliang Garden.
The entire Wuliang Garden is defended by a copper wall and an iron wall. First of all, it is covered by a large formation. The shadow of Wuliang Garden cannot be seen with the naked eye. Even if you walk through the place where Wuliang Garden is located, you can't find it. In addition, the large formation protection makes it impossible for outsiders to break in silently. It was impossible to go.
Not to mention the fact that there are experts guarding the place, anyone who enters or exits will be searched, and there is no possibility of being entrained.
It is said that there is a specially refined "crow general" guarding the Immeasurable Fruit Tree. Anyone approaching will trigger an alarm, and the number of fruits on the tree will be counted every hour, giving no one a chance to steal it.
Not to mention stealing, it is difficult to get close.
