Chapter 160 The Fox Comes
She thought again and felt that something was not right. It was just a Xulan Palace, and there was no need for him, the eldest disciple of the Demon Palace, to take action personally.
Tao Zi stood there, not being able to figure out who was behind this trick.
Before she could think deeply, thick fog spread around her and the faces of the people in front of her gradually became blurred.
The senior sister said anxiously, "Oh no! The scenery has changed again. Fellow Daoist, please follow us closely."
Changing the scene means changing the scenery and safety point, which means that the place where they are now is likely to become full of murderous intentions.
Someone came over and grabbed her sleeve. It should be the monk who spoke earlier.
Tao Zi followed them quietly. She did know this place, but her familiarity was definitely not as good as that of the monks in Xulan Palace.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the fog gradually dissipated and Tao Zi found herself standing in a cave.
Standing before her were the same group of people. She asked in a deep voice, "Don't you know the exit?"
The senior sister smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "The Palace Master was afraid those aliens would find us, so he activated the highest-level formation. Only the Palace Master and Deputy Palace Master know the exit to this formation."
Tao Zi frowned and said, "You don't even know the way to the palace?"
These people were silent for a long time.
Seeing their reactions, she understood and asked, "How do I enter the palace?"
"It's very dangerous inside the palace..."
She interrupted the monk and said, "No matter how dangerous it is, you can't just sit there and wait for death. Tell me how to enter the palace."
The tone was too strong, but it accidentally gave people a sense of trustworthiness.
They didn't hesitate for long and said, "When the fog comes, walk towards where the fog is thickest. If you choose the right direction, you can enter the palace after the fog passes three times."
Then, she talked about some precautions for walking in the formation.
Tao Zi nodded and asked, "How often does the fog come?"
"The time is uncertain."
She calculated the time. The last time the poison took effect was a long time ago. This poison... seemed to no longer follow a regular pattern.
Is this the toxin starting to wear off?
Tao Zi wasn't sure, but if not, irregular poison attacks were obviously not a good thing.
She calmed herself down and said, "Then I'll go first."
The senior sister was puzzled and said, "But the fog has just cleared."
Tao Zi didn't answer this question. She said, "I'll go inside the palace to investigate. You guys continue to look for the exit and act separately."
Her tone was naturally strong, and the senior sister subconsciously said, "Yes."
The person next to the senior sister said, "Do you need someone from our side to show you the way?"
"unnecessary."
She walked out directly.
How many people didn't know about what Yue Qiran had done? Especially the toxins in her body, which were once a laughing stock among some people.
If these people become suspicious, they might even suspect that she was the one who brought in the alien race.
Tao Zi found a safe place according to the information given by the Xingtang, ready to wait until the next heavy fog or the poison attack.
She had to take a gamble, betting that the poison and the fog would not arrive at the same time, and at the same time, she had to bet that the Xulan Palace would not be completely wiped out during this period.
If the entire army was wiped out, she could only leave according to the channel provided by the intelligence, which was a pity for the person from the Punishment Hall stationed in the Xulan Palace.
Tao Zi clenched the dagger in her hand. It was extremely inappropriate to place undercover agents in other sects. It would be suspected of stealing skills. Of course, this did not apply to placing undercover agents in the Demon Palace.
At that time, there was a young and pretty ordinary girl in Xulan Palace, who was saved by her and was loyal to her.
She could no longer remember the reason for placing this person. Xulan Palace and Minglan Sect had no grudges or conflicts, nor any interests at all. But that was why she had to come here.
If she remembered correctly, the undercover agent had been deployed over forty years ago, around the same time as the bracelet. She felt this was no coincidence.
Maybe this undercover agent doesn't know anything, but she has to go, otherwise she will not be able to rest assured.
Perhaps my good luck had run out. When the familiar pain began to spread, the fog also began to spread.
Tao Zi smiled bitterly and clenched the dagger. It seemed that the heaven did not favor her this time.
She quickly made a decision and sat in meditation on the spot, betting that this would not be a dangerous area after the fog dissipated.
The pain eroded her five senses bit by bit. She tried hard to retain the last bit of consciousness, remembering her current environment and not making any sound.
She was in a semi-comatose state. She didn't know how long it had been. A sense of crisis came over her. She used up her last bit of spiritual energy to take out the spiritual weapon, but before she could use it, the sense of crisis disappeared.
Not long after, Tao Zi suddenly felt something furry rubbing against her hand. She mobilized the little strength left in her body and punched it.
A very low whimpering sound was heard, and then quickly disappeared.
When she finally opened her eyes, she saw a fox staring at her expressionlessly, its left eye faintly purple.
Her body still ached, but she couldn't care less. She hesitantly called out, "Fox?"
The fox spoke in human language: "Tao Zi, you are so cruel."
She thought it was still brooding over the fact that it had lost it before, so she asked directly, "How did you find this place?"
The fox replied coldly, "I made a contract with you. When you were in so much pain, you sent me a message for help, and I rushed all the way here."
Tao Zi had no impression of this and said in surprise: "I didn't know that."
The fox sneered and said, "What can you know?"
Why is this fox not in the right state? Tao Zi looked at it with some confusion, and belatedly asked, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
The fox's finally stable mentality suddenly collapsed. He jumped up and cursed, "I, a great nine-tailed fox, formed a pact with a common cultivator like you. This is the best luck you've ever had in eight lifetimes. And what happened? Not only did you abandon me, but you also punched me after I saved you. That's not enough, but after waking up, you actually dared to ask me what happened?"
After hearing this, Tao Zi vaguely remembered something.
At this time, the fox stopped cursing and turned to self-pity: "I am a dignified nine-tailed fox, but I have the audacity to continue following after being abandoned. I can't even fight back after being beaten. The dignity of my clan has been completely destroyed by me."
As she looked at the fox, Monk Hu's face inexplicably appeared in her mind. She couldn't help but shudder and said, "You weren't like this when you were in human form."
The little fox looked at her resentfully. "When I was in human form, I was the hope of the entire clan. Now, what am I? A disgrace to the entire clan! I've lost all my dignity, what kind of personality do I have?"
Tao Zi coughed lightly a few times and said, "Monk Hu, this is my fault. How about you hit me a few times to vent your anger?"
Perhaps the name restored some of its dignity. The little fox looked better and pointed its claws at her.
