Chapter 163 Encounter

She left here and headed west. She wanted to see who was hiding there.

The further west they went, the thicker the black fog on the road became, and Tao Zi had to stop.

At this moment, the little fox's voice rang in my mind: "Ah, I met a normal person. It seems to be a monk in the palace."

Tao Zi frowned, feeling something was wrong, and asked, "Are you sure he's a normal person?"

"That's right. She was wearing the clothes of the Xulan Palace, and Han Yueshan even called her "Beautiful Sister" directly. Her response was also normal."

Tao Zi:......

"Ah, Tao Zi, your companion stabbed that normal person with a knife!"

She immediately turned around and retreated towards them: "Who? What's going on? Where!"

"It was Han Yueshan who stabbed it. I don't know where it is. It's in the east of that side hall!"

She stopped for a moment, a little shocked.

"Ahhh, Han Yueshan said she's a demon cultivator! But Lian Qingzhou said she's a normal person. The two sides are at a stalemate."

"Han Yueshan backed off and apologized to the monk, but he insisted on acting separately. Now he has left with your companions."

The little fox was silent for a moment, then suddenly started cursing, "That Lian Qingzhou actually wanted to keep me, saying he thought I was cute and wanted to keep me as a pet. Are all of you humans so overbearing and shameless? Do you like to form bonds so much?"

Tao Zi said solemnly, "It's a Tianzun's closed disciple. It might have seen that your true form is not simple. Also, did you escape?"

"Of course she escaped. Eh, is she a disciple of Tianzun? She seems very powerful, but it's not fair to force a contract with her."

The little fox paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "No, if she could discover that my true form is a nine-tailed fox, she should also be able to sense that I have formed a bond with her. So, is she trying to steal something from someone else?"

She smiled and said vaguely, "Other people's things have always been attractive to her."

Soon, under the guidance of the little fox, they met.

When he saw her, Han Yueshan was a little surprised. After a while, he rushed over, hugged Tao Zi, and said, "Big Sister, you are really here! I thought this fox was lying!"

The little fox no longer concealed himself and began to speak in human language: "We...foxes are simple by nature and would never do anything deceptive."

Tao Zi punched Han Yueshan and glanced at the little fox.

It seemed to remember what it had done when it was Monk Hu, and sat quietly aside, no longer speaking.

Han Yueshan, however, held his stomach and bared his teeth as he asked, "Senior Sister, why did you hit me?"

Tao Zi said coldly, "You coveted beauty and took your junior brothers and sisters to a dangerous place without permission. Why do you think I should hit you?"

Han Yueshan said with a bitter face, shaking his head: "Senior Sister, who told you this?"

Before she could speak, Li Xiu said, "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

She suddenly looked in one direction, her expression stern, and said, "Let's get out of here first. This is not the place to talk."

She took them to a safer spot that she had scouted earlier.

When they arrived, Li Xiucai explained, "After we left the ruins, we were transferred to a mountain in the southeast, where we met Fellow Daoist Lian. We were attacked by a demon beast at the time, and she helped us."

"continue."

"Yueshan learned of her identity and wanted to rely on her to find you, so he followed her here."

Han Yueshan nodded aside, "I thought that Minglan Sect was one of the three major sects, so it would be very convenient to find people through her connections. I followed her because she was guarded by Jindan and Yuanying stage cultivators, so I thought nothing serious would happen. But it turns out that the people here are aliens."

Tao Zi looked at him and said, not knowing whether to praise or scold him, "Very good."

It's true in theory, but in practice it might cost her her life.

Han Yueshan scratched his head and muttered, "Of course, it's also because she's pretty that I couldn't help but believe her."

"Hiss... Senior Sister, why did you hit me again?" He asked in pain, holding his stomach.

Tao Zi rubbed his fists, his face expressionless.

Why? Because she wanted to fight, of course.

She said, "Han Yueshan, this man cannot be trusted."

"Why?" Han Yueshan asked subconsciously, then quickly reacted and said, "Senior Sister said it's not credible, then it's not credible. I will avoid her from now on."

Tao Zi nodded.

At this time, Li Xiu winked at her.

She glanced at him and said, "Little Fox, you stay here and look after Yue Shan and the others. I'm going to take Senior Brother Li out first."

Xi Jing asked worriedly, "Senior Sister, where are you going?"

"I came across a few injured people. Let's see if we can save them."

Several people nodded in trust.

Tao Zi took Li Xiu for a walk and finally came to a place not far from them.

Li Xiu said: "Those people look like corpse demons."

She said confidently: "Those are the people."

He hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I remember you blurred the identity of a corpse demon."

Tao Zi immediately knew who he was talking about and admitted straightforwardly, "Before he was transformed into a corpse demon, I did recognize him. He was a waiter at an inn. The inn's proprietress saved me."

"The boss lady..."

She said, "She can't be the real murderer."

Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, and finally chose to believe her.

Tao Zi added: "These corpse demons are looking more and more like normal cultivators."

He immediately understood what Tao Zi meant and his expression changed: "What if there are other sects... We have to notify those major sects."

She nodded and asked, "Did Lian Qingzhou bring in any cultivators in the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages?"

Li Xiu replied: "I brought it, what's the matter?"

She smiled, hiding the regret in her eyes, and said, "It's okay. But this is also a good thing. After all, the situation here is complicated, and we may have to rely on these people in the end."

But? He looked at her doubtfully and didn't ask any more questions.

The two walked back.

As soon as she got back, Tao Zi's mouth twitched. A little fox was scratching Han Yueshan's face, and there were already several scratches.

Zhao Xue explained on the side: "Senior brother is too talkative."

She asked, "What's going on with this fox?"

Everyone was quiet for a moment, and the fox spoke up, "Big Sister, your junior brother is really too much. He actually said I'm not pretty. Woo woo woo."

The aggrieved tone immediately reminded her of someone, and she fell silent.

The fox cousin continued to complain, "We both have a delicate style, but he actually said that Lian Qingzhou is prettier and more worthy of pity than me. Woo woo woo, Senior Sister, you have to make the decision for me!"

Objectively speaking, neither of them was worthy of pity, but subjectively speaking… "Tickle him!"

Han Yueshan was stunned. Several of his fellow apprentices were watching the show on the side, with no intention of helping at all.

Zhao Xue whispered, "Senior Brother, you should control your temper."

Tao Zi didn't let them make too much noise. After a while, she called a halt and said, "You can't stay in one place for too long. Come with me."
