Chapter 169 Return to Town
Tao Zi jumped onto the boat and asked, "Where are the normal monks here?"
Xi Jing said, "They were rescued by a group of poor monks, some with broken arms and some with masks on their faces."
She nodded, took out the spiritual weapon given by Lian Qingzhou, and threw it down.
"Senior Sister?"
Tao Zi said: "There may be something dirty in this spiritual weapon."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something and looked at the little fox, saying, "Where is the spiritual weapon taken from the armless man in the Xuyan Ruins?"
The little fox said lazily, "I used it a long time ago and threw it away."
Tao Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to observe the situation around her.
No one in Xulan Palace noticed them anymore. All the alien races were frantically rushing to the same place. The overflowing spiritual energy there was their favorite delicacy.
A complicated look flashed across Tao Zi's eyes, and she asked again, "Where did you get the news of the impending explosion?"
Han Yueshan replied, "A beautiful cook told me that the Palace Master had sent a message to every cultivator in the palace, saying...that she was going to self-destruct. That beautiful cook said that the Palace Master was a powerful being in the Out-of-Body Stage, and if she self-destructed, no one within a hundred miles would survive."
Tao Zi thought of the monks who were still in the maze, but she also knew that she didn't have time to find them, so she could only hope for the best.
Li Xiu used all his spiritual energy to drive the spirit ship.
Tao Zi sat on the boat, but what came to her mind was the poor monk with a broken arm that they mentioned.
Could it be that those armless men were the two she encountered in the Ruins of False Words? Furthermore, they were the members of the Punishment Hall.
But...poor? She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Xi Jing."
Xi Jing looked at her senior sister and said, "Senior sister, what's wrong?"
“How do you know those people are poor?”
She blinked and answered obediently, "The clothes those people were wearing were all over the place. Some of them didn't even look right. They looked a bit like, uh, stolen."
Tao Zi was silent. Why was Xingtang in such a bad state now? Why did something feel wrong?
She thought about it and decided to put the matter aside for the time being. After all, things were too complicated now, and she couldn't take the risk of going to the Punishment Hall.
Tao Zi touched the two necklaces around her neck and lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
Han Yueshan looked at the senior sister and said, "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little complicated. After all, I came to Xulan Palace to ask for help, and I didn't expect something like this to happen."
He asked doubtfully, "Call for help?"
Tao Zi recounted the incident in a concise and concise manner.
Li Xiu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."
At this moment, Zhao Xue finally couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, is this a new human skin mask on your face?"
"This? No." She turned her back, took off the mask, and then wrapped it with white gauze again.
However, Xi Jing still saw her face and asked in shock, "Senior Sister, what's wrong with the wound on your face?"
"The little fox caught it."
The little fox, who was nervously watching the situation around him, suddenly got angry: "You told me to fight!"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Yes, I was wrong first."
Li Xiu looked at the situation ahead and said, "I'll come and take a look later."
She didn't respond.
In fact, she is a little confused now. She doesn't know whether she should tell Yueshan and the others about these things.
The fox cousin heard the conversation and knew about the heart poison, which could indirectly prove Yue Qiran's innocence, but telling it would mean implicating them.
They were still too weak, and the situation on the master's side was uncertain. She even suspected that the master knew something she didn't know.
Tao Zi was weighing the pros and cons in her mind. At this moment, Li Xiu suddenly made a crazy turn, scaring everyone.
Han Yueshan supported his junior fellow student, while Tao Zi protected Xi Jing who was about to fall. They asked, "Brother Xiu, what's wrong?"
Li Xiu said jokingly: "I haven't heard you call me Brother Xiu for a long time. I missed it."
She said helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense."
"There are a large number of cultivators rushing over there. They must be from the Minglan Sect." When he said this, his tone was much more relaxed. "I think the Palace Master of Xulan Palace doesn't need to self-destruct."
Tao Zi was silent. It was possible that the Palace Master of Xulan Palace was waiting for them to arrive so that he could bury them with him.
Sure enough, not long after they rushed out of the range of 100 miles, a shocking explosion sounded.
Tao Zi looked back and saw that the entire Xulan Mountain was completely destroyed.
She sighed secretly, feeling mixed emotions.
Tao Zi regained her spirits and said, "Let's go back quickly. Hua Monk should be waiting for us."
At this time, Xuruo Town was in a bloody mess.
When they arrived, the devil was wreaking havoc in the town, and the Flower Monk was holding off several mortals on his own.
He stood there chanting, surrounded by the spiritual barrier that he had desperately held up. At this moment, his body was covered in blood, and even his eyes and lips were slowly bleeding.
But he clasped his hands together, as if he was chanting the Buddha's name normally, and remained indifferent.
Tao Zi looked at him, remembered what she had said to the Palace Master before, and fell silent for a moment.
Perhaps there are many cultivators like Hua Seng who would rather die than protect mortals.
But even so, she still agreed with the words of the Imperial Princess. After all, no one can entrust their life to others.
Tao Zi, Yue Shan and others worked together to break in and bring those mortals up.
Upon seeing this, the Flower Monk used up his last bit of spiritual power to transform the barrier into an attack, attacking all around, but then he lost all strength and fell down.
Fortunately, Tao Zi realized something was wrong and jumped down in time to bring him back.
Xi Jing took out all the offensive talismans and threw them at the demon cultivator, buying a split second and dodging the attack.
Just as the demon cultivator rushed forward again, several powerful attacks were directed at the demon cultivator. At the same time, a cold and arrogant voice sounded: "Everyone, please leave without worry. Leave this place to us."
Tao Zi suddenly turned around and saw that it was Lan Yongji, her former third junior apprentice brother.
He sat at the bow of the Minglan Sect's ship, playing the zither in his hand. The sounds of the zither attacked the demon cultivator, creating a beautiful and graceful scene.
Tao Zi concealed the emotions in her eyes and helped Hua Seng sit down.
Li Xiu bowed and said, "Thank you, Master!"
They left the place quickly.
After leaving there, Dabao ran over to support Hua Seng with red eyes.
Tao Zi asked, "What's going on?"
Dabao choked up and said, "I took the Flower Fairy to Xingtao Village. The Fairy tried his best to protect us, but he couldn't escape. Fortunately, other fairies came over in the end. The Flower Fairy brought us back. I didn't expect there were demon cultivators here too."
The Flower Monk said weakly at this time: "Don't cry, this is what I should do. Since I promised to protect you, I can't leave."
Li Xiu was in a complicated mood and said, "Monk Hua, I didn't expect you to be so fearless of death."
"Of course I'm not afraid. But I promised them, so I can't retreat."
