Chapter 159 Trapped
Tao Zi avoided the mechanisms in Xulan Mountain and carefully left this place.
Seeing how skilled she was, the monk asked, "You seem very familiar with this place. I guess you're a monk from the palace."
Tao Zi remained silent, and he continued, "It's rumored that all the women in Xulan Palace are beauties, but looking at you with the white cloth wrapped around your head, that's not entirely true."
She still didn't speak.
After the monk stopped trying to inquire about her affairs, Tao Zi asked, "What's going on in Xulan Palace?"
This person said something nonsense: "All the monks in the palace are under control."
Tao Zi frowned, stopped and did not move forward.
Before the monk could even open his mouth to speak, an extremely unpleasant voice rang out: "Where are you two going?"
An alien with strange facial features that made people nauseous at first sight walked slowly towards them wearing black clothes. The air around him seemed to become stagnant because of his appearance.
Tao Zi looked away at the unsightly alien slowly approaching from the front. At the same time, a stream of spiritual energy slowly took shape in her hands.
The monk beside him whispered, "Excuse me, there's a saying that goes, 'It's better to let my fellow Taoist die than for me to die.'"
He swung out the magic energy in his hand, intending to hit Tao Zi to stop the alien. Unexpectedly, Tao Zi was prepared. Not only did he block the magic energy with his spiritual energy, he also directly controlled his arms and used brute force to throw him over.
The monk was filled with astonishment, but he did not notice that Tao Zi looked at him with extremely cold eyes.
The moment she threw him out, she started running.
The curses and fighting sounds of the demon cultivator came from behind her, which sounded particularly miserable, but she did not even look back.
The first time she saw him, she recognized him as the eldest disciple of the Demon Lord who was saved by Lian Qingzhou.
She had no good feelings towards this man, and could even be described as having a strong murderous intent. This man had entered the Minglan Sect and killed several disciples, even those mortals were not spared.
If Lian Qingzhou hadn't secretly sent her away, she would have killed him decades ago.
Not to mention this time, not only did he threaten her, he also intended to let her die.
As she expected, she soon heard the sound of pursuit from behind, but she knew that this did not mean that the evil cultivator had been defeated. After all, what he was best at was escaping.
The sounds of pursuit behind him were getting closer and closer, even more and more frequent, and Tao Zi quickened her pace frantically.
Her destination was a maze array in front. The array was so strange that even aliens would have difficulty entering it.
Just when those people were about to catch her, she finally saw the entrance to the formation.
At the last moment, she took out all the offensive talismans on her body and attacked frantically behind her, buying herself a few seconds and diving into the formation.
As soon as we entered, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, from a mountain full of forests to a vast grassland.
Tao Zi looked around and then moved forward in one direction with all her heart.
I don’t know how long I walked before the scene in front of me changed from green grassland back to a big forest.
She suddenly stopped and saw a group of people standing in front of her. They also saw her and drew their swords to point at her. She looked at them with a white gauze on her head, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
The leading woman asked cautiously, "Is the person coming a human?"
"Don't worry, I'm a human being. I was just hunted here."
Those people were still on guard, so she simply explained her purpose: "Xingtao Village has been controlled by the demonic cultivators, and the surrounding sects have been destroyed by the demonic cultivators. I wanted to come to Xulan Palace to check the situation, but I didn't expect..."
Someone interrupted her: "Which sect are you from?"
Tao Zi didn't care and said calmly: "Yisan Sect."
Someone over there started discussing in low voices: "Yisan Sect? Have you heard of this sect?"
"No, it sounds like a small sect."
Tao Zi interrupted their discussion and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this. What is going on with you?"
The leader was extremely alert and said, "We are not sure of your identity yet."
She rubbed her forehead and said, "Aren't you sure it will work?"
These people were stunned.
She continued, "You don't look like you can get out, but what's the point of continuing to hide here? Those who are destined to die outside will still die. Why don't you tell me and see if there is any other way? Maybe we can find a way out before everyone outside dies."
The man in the lead blushed and wanted to speak but didn't know how to say it.
Someone next to her stood up and said apologetically, "Senior Sister, there's a reason why you're so nervous."
"oh?"
"There's a traitor in our Xulan Palace!"
Tao Zi looked at her doubtfully and repeated, "Traitor?"
"Yes." As if afraid that she didn't understand, the man gave an example, "They are similar to Yue Qiran of Minglan Sect."
Tao Zi: "...and then? What happened?"
The man observed her expression, and after confirming that nothing was amiss, he continued, "Our Palace Master fought desperately, buying us a little time to escape. Unfortunately, we're not strong enough to get out, so we can only hide in this maze."
She frowned as she heard this. Why did she meet people who only talked nonsense today?
She simply asked herself: "What's going on with the demonic cultivators? What are the aliens doing? Why are they gathering here instead of leaving after the killing?"
These people suddenly fell silent, seemingly not understanding anything.
Tao Zi rubbed his forehead. What was going on?
However, the person called Senior Sister hesitated for a long time after seeing her like this, and then said: "The demon cultivator originally came to provoke, but unexpectedly encountered an alien race."
"Those demon cultivators outside are also like that?"
Their expressions became even more confused: "Outside?"
Tao Zi's heart skipped a beat when she saw their expressions. She asked tentatively, "Do you know about the situation in Xingtao Village?"
These people looked at her blankly.
She frowned and asked, "When were you trapped here?"
The senior sister shook her head and said, "I don't know. There is no such thing as day or night here."
Before she could get angry, the person next to the senior sister hurriedly added, "It was September 11th when we came here."
Tao Zi calculated that it was October 13th... the 13th!
She tried hard to hide her emotions and continued to count the time.
According to the two children's grandparents, something happened in Xingtao Village half a month ago, and those sects were destroyed within half a month. It is normal that they don't know about it.
But in this case, it is easy to make people suspect that the demon cultivators and alien races have joined forces, otherwise why would the demon cultivators choose to take action at this time?
However, judging from the situation of that eldest disciple, the Demon Palace definitely did not betray this world, but that could not be said for those demon cultivators who were not under the control of the Demon Palace.
