Chapter 197: Setting Up a Situation (1)
Tao Zi stood quietly at the far end of the stream, and more and more people received the news and came here.
Without exception, they were all stationed near the stream, and they were all large sects. It would be a big trouble to snatch the Soul-Restoring Plant from them.
Fortunately, she had help.
At noon, there were more people around her, and without exception, all of them were wearing cloaks.
These people were scattered very far apart, with some distance between them.
Tao Zi changed her tone and said, "Any news?"
A man holding a long sword said, "From the Jiuzhuan Gate, there is one Jindan, three Lingji, five Xindong, and several Fusion Stage and below."
The others also spoke up and told the known news.
Tao Zi counted in his mind. There were seven Jindan masters from the three sects and four schools, one from each school. It seemed like it was agreed upon in advance.
Someone then added, "Besides the three sects and four gates, there were also some other sects that wanted to send people over, but they were stopped. Now, the only ones guarding there, besides the three sects and four gates, are a few brave independent cultivators."
She nodded and said gently, "Thank you for your help."
Another person said, "This is the young lady's wish, and we should obey. However, we are not strong enough, so we can only stop here."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "I understand. Have you brought those things?"
Those people handed her the items they had agreed on earlier. She took them, briefly inspected them, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
They nodded and left.
Tao Zi didn't stay there for long. As soon as their figures disappeared, she left immediately.
Although these people are lurking in the major sects, their identities and status are not high. Some of them are just outer disciples. The information they receive may not be accurate, and may even be a deception set up by the sects.
But at this point, there are not many sects that can still hide their shortcomings.
She sat on the tree and opened her palm. She saw a tiny insect sleeping soundly in her palm, waiting to wake up at any moment.
That night, the spiritual energy of the entire stream suddenly rioted, and everyone stood by the stream awake.
The stream water turned from transparent to black, and black bubbles emerged from the surface as if the water was boiling.
These black bubbles all flew in the same direction as if they had consciousness.
They gathered at the same place, and the black on the water surface also rushed there madly.
The moment the water surface became clear again, a black vine appeared above the stream, with white buds on it waiting to bloom.
Tao Zi watched from afar and understood clearly that it only took half an hour for the flower bud to bloom and then wither. The spiritual plant would only be effective if it was picked during the blooming period.
This half hour is also the time for everyone to take action.
The seven Jindan from the three sects and four schools stood quietly near the flower bud, while the others were on guard against each other, but no one was willing to take the initiative to attack.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense, and finally, the Sword Sect's Jindan disciple drew his sword!
To everyone's surprise, he pointed his sword directly at Xu Qianjia. Xu Qianjia raised his hand and the stream turned into a sword to block the move.
At this time, the senior brother from the Jiuzhuan Gate also came towards Xu Qianjia with two maces in his hands.
His face darkened: "Are you two going to join forces?"
The Sword Sect disciple looked solemn and did not answer.
The senior brother from the Nine-Turn Sect said, "Junior Sister doesn't like you, especially your Junior Sister. You've always loved Fellow Daoist Lian, so I think you'll understand my feelings."
Xu Qianjia's eyes were extremely dark, and he said slowly, "Two against one, it seems you are determined to win."
The eldest brother of Xujia Sect said with a smile: "Master Xu, how about we join forces for the time being?"
The Yi Nian Sect and the Chun Qiu Sect stood together quietly.
In a flash, only the Tiandao Sect's Jindan had not found an ally. He didn't care and just focused on looking at the Huanling Plant.
Tao Zi stood in the distance and watched with great interest.
The moment the flower bud blossomed, the seven Jindan rushed towards the Huanling plant.
The Tiandao Sect was stopped by the Yi Nian Sect. He injured the eldest brother of the Yi Nian Sect with a palm strike, and the injury was healed by the eldest sister of the Chunqiu Sect the next second.
The eldest sister of the Chunqiu Sect stood quietly on the outskirts of the battlefield, and would immediately provide treatment to any allies who were injured.
Asahi Kamon tried to attack her, but was stopped by the heavy spells and protective shields on her body.
For a time, Yi Nian Sect and Chun Qiu Sect became the most difficult to deal with.
Tao Zi secretly sighed in her heart: Although the Chunqiu Sect is mainly composed of medical practitioners, once they have allies, they become the most difficult to deal with.
Time passed little by little, and except for Yi Nian and Chun Qiu, everyone else had more or less injuries.
The flower has bloomed to its fullest and only has a quarter of an hour left before it withers.
Tao Zi was still not in a hurry and looked at them quietly.
The eldest brother from Xujia Sect suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry."
Before he finished speaking, his whole body was covered by the mecha. For a moment, everyone's faces turned ugly, even Xu Qianjia frowned.
He first targeted the people from Yi Nian Men.
The ability of the mecha combined with the strength of the golden elixir actually exerted the power of the Yuanying stage.
The senior brother of Tiandao Sect put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "This mecha should be considered half a fairy weapon."
Jian Zong said expressionlessly: "You are quite free."
"If it's not mine, it won't fall into my hands, so why should I worry about it?"
The meaning of this statement is very clear. This spiritual plant has nothing to do with him. He just came to join in the fun.
Xu Qianjia sneered and said, "Cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven. How can you, the Tiandao Sect, still cultivate immortals if you listen to the will of heaven and follow the will of heaven?"
Tiandao Sect's senior brother smiled and said nonchalantly, "These seem to be the words of your senior sister. Even though she's dead, you can't just use them without changing a single word."
Xu Qianjia was furious and attacked with plants and wood as weapons.
At this time, the people from Yi Nian Sect had already fallen to the ground, and the eldest sister from Chunqiu Sect was being targeted by others and was unable to receive medical treatment.
A member of the Yi Nian Sect helped his senior brother up, looked at the Xu Jia Sect who were still about to attack, and shouted loudly: "Yi Nian Sect, retreat!"
Before she finished speaking, the eldest sister of Chunqiu Sect also fell to the ground.
In a flash, two doors opened.
Jian Zong looked unhappy. He had just been poisoned by the Chunqiu Sect and now he had to allocate some of his spiritual energy to suppress the poison.
The senior sister of the Spring and Autumn Sect also did not want to be an enemy of the Sword Sect, so she transmitted a message: "The poison will dissolve itself in half an hour."
He still looked unhappy and looked towards Jiu Zhuan Men. Jiu Zhuan Men smiled and said, "Don't forget, we will only join forces when dealing with Xu Qianjia."
Tao Zi pressed his head. Now, some of the people on the field were trying to take advantage of the situation, while others were just watching the fun. The only ones who really wanted to fight were the Jian Sect, Xujia Sect, and Minglan Sect.
Suddenly, a Lingji stage disciple from Xujia Sect pulled down the Huanling plant.
The Xujia Sect is indeed the most unruly sect.
Xu Qianjia and others rushed towards the disciple at the same time.
