In the Northeast Prefecture, on the edge of a beautiful cliff, a man wearing a white robe was twirling his fingers and calculating while looking up at the sky.
"The third chain has disappeared. But there are still six chains. Does this correspond to the land of Kyushu? Or is it the nine major families including the Yu family? Forget it, this is not something I should worry about."
Although Ning Xiaoyao muttered to himself a little too troublesome, he still subconsciously looked in the direction of the southwest state capital.
He was not sure whether the disappearance of the third chain was related to the Ghost City's declaration of war on the White Tiger Hall, but a vague feeling made him think that it had something to do with Qin Fan.
After leaving the ghost market, Ning Xiaoyao, as a member of the Dao Domain's main war faction, took the initiative to join the attack team against the Northeast Prefecture.
This naturally arouses confusion among many people.
After all, his predecessor, Daozi, had always been lazy, and after returning to the Dao domain and meeting Zhang Sanfeng, his master felt that he knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Because the real danger often comes from within.
Especially the factional dispute within the Dao Domain this time seemed to involve a game between higher-level chess players, which made Ning Xiaoyao feel even more troubled, so it would be better to withdraw early.
And with his talent and reputation in the Tao realm, even if he is far away from this center of power, the benefits will still be indispensable to him.
Moreover, there is Zhang Sanfeng, a human spirit who helps him to maneuver within the Taoist Palace, and Mu Taoist, who is now the leader of the main war faction, has given him a lot of benefits in order to further win over him.
Therefore, Ning Xiaoyao has made great progress in recent times.
As for the dangers we will face when we reach the front line, compared to what we experienced in the ghost market some time ago, they are really not even drizzle.
Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoyao turned around and saw a boy who was younger than him, hurriedly coming towards him.
"No, senior brother Ning, the latest information." Yin Bugui wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly took out a stack of papers from the space ring.
At this moment, Yin Bukui's eyes could not see the fear that could not be overcome after experiencing the thrilling moment, and the cowardice that could not be concealed when he betrayed the Dao Domain.
His memory was wiped.
From the time after finishing on the Top of the Mountain of Swords to the time he witnessed Zhuge Zhengwo's death, he only vaguely remembered that he became seriously ill because he was too scared. After he recovered, he was enlightened by Ning Xiaoyao and finally walked out. At that time, I felt like I was facing the nightmare of death.
He still has expectations for the future, loyalty to the Dao domain, and also has an extra sense of gratitude and admiration for Ning Xiaoyao.
Because it was Ning Xiaoyao who helped him regain his original persistence when he was feeling uneasy. What surprised him even more was that this senior brother Ning, who had always disliked him, also showed him an unprecedented level of consideration. and care.
He didn't know that Ning Xiaoyao actually did more for him.
After seeing the sincerity and naive stupidity that once existed in Yin Bukui's eyes, Ning Xiaoyao smiled and asked without checking the information first:
"Can you adapt to this cruel war?"
"Cruel? No, senior brother, those northern barbarians really deserve to die!" Yin Bugui said with a serious expression.
Then he began to talk endlessly about what he saw and heard in the northeastern capital, such as rampant thugs, bloody barbarians, selfish warriors, humble and begging refugees, and Taoist soldiers who represented justice.
He recounted all this with great enthusiasm and felt heartfelt proud and inspired by how many people he had saved.
'So why did you ever get to that point.'
At this moment, Ning Xiaoyao felt that human beings were really magical creatures. He thought about heaven and hell. He could never forget what he saw in the Ming Tower, Yin Bu, who even though his heart was filled with despair, he still harbored deep resentment towards him. deficit.
To be honest, he didn't have deep feelings for Yin Bugui. He felt a little guilty for his failure as a senior brother, but it was not enough to offset the knowledge that he had betrayed the Dao domain and even teamed up with Zhuge Zhengyi to scheme against the ghost market. , the outburst of anger.
But he still suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and begged Qin Fan to spare his life.
There are many factors involved in this. First of all, he does not want to cause a stain on Zhang Sanfeng because of Yin Bukui's betrayal. His feelings for his master are undoubtedly deeper. In his eyes, Zhang Sanfeng is his father.
And Yin Bugui still claimed to be a registered disciple of Zhang Sanfeng.
At this time, Yin Buqi could not erase the stain whether he was dead or alive, so he had an idea to make it his own flaw. In this case, Mu Taoren would help him cover up the stain.
Therefore, Yin Buqi needs to stay alive and become a visible handle.
The same is true for another important factor, and even for Ning Xiaoyao, this one is more critical.
Because he guessed the identity of Xue Wuxia's secret son, Qin Fan was concerned about his life. Even with Xue Wuxia as a guarantee, he was sure that Qin Fan would not take action against him, but Ning Xiaoyao did not believe it.
Perhaps in the short term, Qin Fan would be wary of Xue Wuxia's thoughts and would not take them against him, but sooner or later, Ning Xiaoyao would die in an accident, and he had no doubt about it.
But now he feels a little more relieved, because after protecting Yin Buhui, the leverage is mutual.
Once Qin Fan reveals that Yin Bugui once teamed up with Zhuge Zhengwo to assassinate his allies and became the trigger for the current factional war in the Dao domain, his Ning Xiaoyao lineage will be blamed. Even if he stands up to expose Xue Wuxia His true identity will also become a sophistry without evidence.
So it seems that Ning Xiaoyao is saving Yin's life, but in fact he is saving his own life, otherwise he will probably become a dead person in the final story.
"Senior brother, senior brother, are you listening to me?" Yin Bugui stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Ning Xiaoyao's eyes.
Ning Xiaoyao pushed his palm aside, then took out the information and started to look through it.
"I heard it all. Anyway, you are very brave, very capable, and a hero. You are satisfied."
This perfunctory tone made Yin Bukui very dissatisfied. When he was about to say it again, he saw Ning Xiaoyao suddenly frowning and Ning Xiaoyao pulled out a love letter:
"I just received this?"
After Yin Bukui took it, he saw the mark he wrote on it: "Yeah, I received it this morning."
"Something is wrong." Ning Xiaoyao looked at the information above.
[The Daxuan Dynasty shifted the focus of its attack and transferred the Tianshindao legion stationed in the North Xuan Prefecture to the Northeast Prefecture. After observation, it was discovered that there were three more powerful people in the Celestial Realm in this team. 】
Then Ning Xiaoyao took out another piece of information.
[There have been changes within the Northern Barbarians, and the army has been mobilized again to march towards the Northeastern Prefecture. 】
Yin Bukui stretched out his head and took a look, his face full of confusion:
"What's wrong with this? It's because the Daxuan Dynasty has exerted its strength. The Northern Barbarians find it difficult to fight, so naturally they should send more troops."
Ning Xiaoyao shook his head and said:
"Today's war situation seems chaotic but is actually in a delicate balance. The Daxuan Dynasty suddenly put pressure on the Northern Barbarians. There must be a reason. Moreover, if he wants to increase his troops, the northwest state capital that has already opened up the situation is a Better choice.”
"so?"
"I don't know. Judging from this information alone, it seems that the Daxuan Dynasty is trying to hold back the Northern Barbarians."
"Delay? The Northern Barbarians only occupy half of the northeastern state capital. It is already very difficult for them to fight. How can they delay?"
Ning Xiaoyao looked at the first piece of information and noticed the second half of it.
[After observation, it was discovered that there were three more powerful people in the Celestial Realm in this team. 】
"If a strong person in the Celestial Realm wants to hide deliberately, only masters in the same realm can find the traces. The spies in our Dao realm probably don't have this ability."
"I don't quite understand." Yin Buqi felt that he was indeed quite stupid at this moment.
"This was deliberately revealed by the Daxuan Dynasty. He has three more Celestial Phantasm Realm experts on his side. The Northern Barbarians must send at least three more Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts. Together with the Tianshen Dao Legion, in a short period of time, the Northern Barbarians will There is no way to focus on anything else.”
“They actually look like that”
Ning Xiaoyao had a flash of inspiration and vaguely guessed some possibilities.
Then he unfolded the map and looked at a circle in Beixuanzhou Palace, where the palace of Prince Wuwei was located.
"Someone wants to take action against King Wuwei? To block a possible help? Is he so stupid that he is going to go directly to Beixuan Prefecture to kill him? I can't figure it out."
The lack of intelligence put Ning Xiaoyao's speculation into a dead end.
——
At the same time, outside a solemn Buddhist palace in Xixuanzhou Mansion.
Zhishan was looking up at the sky. When he saw a chain disappear, his brows furrowed slightly.
Then he looked at Ata and Jiu Bodhidharma who were coming towards him.
"Are you still trying to convince the young monk?"
Ada and Jiudamo looked at each other. The former was not good at words and motioned for Jiudamo to speak.
Jiudamo nodded slightly and said seriously:
"Not an attempt at persuasion, but a final warning!"
"Warning?" Zhishan's brows furrowed even deeper, "What does Ghost Lord mean?"
"That's what you understand. If you continue to have naive thoughts, he will abandon the Demon Sect as an ally!" At this point, Jiu Bodhidharma hated him.
Originally, he and Ah Da returned to the Buddhist land because they felt that Zhishan was a very resourceful and calculating leader who was also well-prepared to bring a new situation to Tantric Buddhism.
After all, the demon clan has been planning for so many years, not only to transform the tantric monks in the Buddhist land into demons, but also the great tantric genius Jiu Bodhidharma has been secretly tricked, so he really admires his forbearance from the bottom of his heart. .
One month before returning, he and Ada also saw Zhishan's methods, wooing the lower-ranked branches to put pressure on the Zen sect, allowing him, a disciple of the Buddha's land, to maintain a certain degree of independence and control corresponding power.
Immediately, they united all forces and took the opportunity to uproot the Qibao Temple, which ranked second among the Thirty-Three Treasures Temples.
This really gave him a sigh of relief.
Then, when they were waiting for Zhishan to continue his big fight, the much-anticipated Buddhist suddenly withered.
Just because some time ago I learned that Black Maitreya, the strongest person on the bright side of Buddha Earth, not only appeared outside Lingjue Mountain and conducted an ambush, but also stayed in the Pure Land Sect.
This was an incredible scene, and it destroyed his momentum of progress in one fell swoop.
Zhishan began to worry about whether Zen Buddhism had hidden deeper methods, and he was even more concerned about whether the demon clan would be annihilated by the extraterrestrial force, the Ten Thousand Frontiers of Buddhism, now that it was born.
Even though Qin Fan asked the two to tell him that the longer he waited, the slimmer the chances of the demon being born, Zhishan insisted on waiting for the opportunity, and even suddenly became naive and wanted to talk to Black Maitreya Kaicheng.
You've turned Zen Buddhism into this shit, and you're talking nonsense!
Ah Da and Jiu Bodhidharma guessed that Zhi Shan was probably afraid, afraid that he would lose everything if he made a desperate move, and also afraid of the unfathomable forces outside the world.
"Why do you have to force the young monk?" Zhishan sat down in a daze.
The pressure he was under could not be explained to others, and even if he did, no one would feel the same way.
"You are not as good as the owner of the village." When Ada saw Jiudamo was about to speak, he suddenly stopped him and spoke ventriloquism first.
Zhishan raised his head and looked at Ah Da. His temperament had always been holy and compassionate, and he also gave people a feeling of being repelled from thousands of miles away. Therefore, it was difficult to regard his age as being in his twenties, but now the resentment and confusion in his eyes were more... A rare hint of youthful nature.
“You have to endure it when you need to, and you take action when you need to take action. From the moment you stand behind the scenes to the front of the stage, you can only move forward.
And you don't have the courage of the bank owner, nor the courage to overwhelm everything. Not everything in this world can be considered perfect, and even the bank owner will sometimes choose to take a gamble.
I know you are worried about all aspects, but just worrying won't change anything.
Half a month ago it was the best opportunity, but you missed it. This time is the second opportunity. Do you want to continue to miss it? And whether there will be a third chance after that, we are not sure.
No, to be precise, if you miss this second time, Jiu Bodhidharma and I will leave the Buddha's land, and you will lose the important help of the ghost market. "
Zhishan was silent. He lowered his head and stared at the ground with his eyes.
Jiudamo touched Ada quietly: "Is he stimulated?"
"Probably calculating the success rate." Ada sighed helplessly. At this time, he actually hoped that Zhishan would be brave enough. Regardless of whether it was feasible or not, it was just one word - do it!
"I understand." Zhishan raised his head, the confusion and hesitation in his eyes disappeared.
He looked at A Da Dao seriously:
"Although His Excellency Guizun is strong, this time he threatens to dissolve the alliance. Does this mean that this matter is important to him or to Gui City's next strategic plan?
I don't rule out that this is indeed an opportunity, but I also want to know what he is going to do with this? "
"Kill someone." Ada looked at Zhishan firmly.
Zhishan frowned slightly: "Is it someone from the Buddha Land?"
"No, but Buddha Earth may be the helper that that person is secretly preparing, so before that, he will cut off all his helping hands!"
Zhishan was silent. Through Ah Da's narration, he could already feel Qin Fan's determination. From this, he also believed that if he did not do what the other party said this time, the Demon Alliance would definitely cease to exist.
But this is indeed an opportunity, and what he lacks now is someone who can push him to make a decision.
And he did not forget to remind:
"You are a demon, don't forget your position."
"As a somewhat dull coachman in Wuyou Villa, no matter whether he is a man or a demon, he will not change this."
