Chapter 218: Wuchou Appears
That night, Cheng Anjing appeared before them and said, "The main courtyard will catch fire in three quarters of an hour. I will transfer the guards around you."
Tao Zi said calmly, "Thank you."
He was serious and just looked at her deeply: "I hope the news outside has nothing to do with you."
Han Yueshan said impatiently: "What news? Explain it clearly."
Cheng Anjing smiled emotionlessly: "No news, goodbye."
Xi Jing frowned and said, "This person is really inexplicable."
Tao Zi said calmly: "Don't worry about it. Be prepared first. Don't trust them completely. After all, they are members of the Cheng family."
"good."
Several people got busy.
In less than three quarters of an hour, there was a commotion outside.
Tao Zi and Hua Seng exchanged a glance, and Hua Seng whispered, "No one is here."
She led them out of the house along the route they had planned since yesterday, but met a monk who was waiting for them at the door.
The lights were bright, and the monks stood there quietly watching them.
Tao Zi smiled and said, "As expected of the Cheng Mansion."
The crowd dispersed in both directions. The head of the Cheng family appeared in front of them and said, "Miss Tao, if you don't run away, it will only be between Miss Xi Jing and you. But if you run away, it will be the problem of all of you."
Han Yueshan snorted and said, "Senior Sister and Junior Sister's affairs are our own affairs. Stop being so hypocritical."
He remained indifferent and even sighed, "I had already made up my mind. For the sake of that aunt, I wanted to save the remaining few people. But you guys just instigated An Jing to mess around. I'm really helpless."
Looking at the look on the face of the Cheng family head, it was clear that he was determined to take action against them.
Tao Zi smiled and said calmly, "One plays the good guy, the other plays the bad guy. This stage is very exciting."
Someone snorted and shouted, "You are the one who killed my apprentice?"
She looked at the angry monk and said, "Ah, you mean that sharp-nosed, monkey-faced fellow who confuses right and wrong? I was indeed the one who killed him."
The man was furious. The head of the Cheng family slowly took a few steps back and signaled others to stop Hua Seng and others.
The formation lit up under everyone's feet, and she and the monk disappeared at the same time.
Tao Zi's eyes went dark, and when they lit up again, she found herself on the top of a mountain. Her intuition told her that there were dangers everywhere.
She smiled slightly. Yue Qingya was about to arrive, so she was not too worried about what was happening outside.
This is a good opportunity to practice with the so-called Fifth Elder.
The fifth elder's arrogant voice rang out in the air: "My formation can kill cultivators below the Heartbeat Stage. Just wait for death."
She took a slow step forward, and countless arrows shot towards her.
At this time, the situation outside the formation was also very tense.
Xi Jing and the others pointed their swords at those people. Hua Seng stood in front of the others and said coldly, "Does the Cheng family really want to be so aggressive?"
The head of the Cheng family shook his head: "It's not that I'm being aggressive, it's that you're too ignorant."
Li Xiu spoke slowly and calmly, but the Cheng family was furious: "With the Cheng family's style of doing things, they will sooner or later fall out of the ranks of the four great families."
Someone from the other side of the Xulan Gate said, "It's none of your business what the Cheng family's future holds. After all, you won't see the sun tomorrow."
Adhering to the idea of losing the battle but not the battle, Han Yueshan said coldly: "Oh, this is for you."
Cheng Anran hurried over at this time: "Uncle, this is what we mean. Can you let Sister Tao and the others go?"
The head of the Cheng family was surprised and said, "Nonsense! Who let the second young lady escape? Bring her back!"
Cheng Anran wanted to struggle, but was forcibly taken back by the guards.
Finally, she only left a few words in the distance: "I have already informed the ancestors, and they will never agree with your actions!"
Hearing this, Lian Xu Lanmen hesitated, but the head of the Cheng family said: "Don't listen to the child's nonsense, the ancestors will not care about such trivial matters."
Everyone relaxed.
The head of the Cheng family was extremely angry in his heart. Everyone was siding with outsiders, not distinguishing between insiders and outsiders.
Apart from anything else, those rumors outside could only be related to Tao Zi and his gang. Apart from them, no one would go out and spread such gossip.
It’s a pity that I can’t catch any evidence against them, but it doesn’t matter. As long as these people are dead, no one will remember such things after a long time.
The Cheng family only has this one legitimate branch, and those who are dead should not cause any more trouble.
No one knows what the head of the Cheng family is thinking, not even his children.
At this moment, a fluctuation of spiritual power suddenly appeared in the dark, so hidden that no one else could detect it.
Just as the Flower Monk was driving back the people from the Xulan Gate, the Cheng family's Patriarch said slowly, "Waiter, start."
Thirteen cultivators appeared out of thin air. The leader exuded the cultivation level of the Kaiguang period, and the twelve people behind him were also in the state of Xuanzhao Great Perfection.
Hua Seng became serious and increasingly anxious: Why hasn't Tao Zi broken the formation yet?
Some talismans appeared in Xi Jing's hands. These talismans were the ones she had recently learned. When put together, they could hurt a cultivator in the enlightenment period, but that was just enough to hurt him.
She calmed herself down and prepared to find an opportunity to take action.
The thirteen people rushed forward, and Xi Jing also raised the talisman in her hand.
No sooner said than done, a powerful spiritual force repelled them all.
The pressure from the Nascent Soul forced the head of the Cheng family to bend down.
Someone at the Xulan Gate exclaimed in surprise, "Is it the ancestor of the Cheng family?"
But the head of the Cheng family shook his head with a pale face.
A feeling of unease struck everyone in the Cheng family.
A young voice rang out, "Where's Fellow Daoist Tao? Why isn't she here?"
A man in green clothes appeared in front of everyone with a smile on his face and a mask on his face.
Seeing that no one answered his question, he asked it again.
Before Xi Jing and the others could answer, the formation under their feet shattered and the spiritual power of the fifth elder disappeared.
"I'm here, you're really late."
Following the sound, Tao Zi and a corpse in her hand appeared.
She threw the body towards the empty gate and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I couldn't control my strength."
Looking at the corpse, the head of the Cheng family turned completely pale, and he knew in his heart that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended!
Yue Qingya smiled and said, "Sorry, there was a little problem on the way, so I was a little slow."
Tao Zi looked at the head of the Cheng family and said nonchalantly, "This man wants my life. What do you think we should do?"
"Kill him?"
She nodded: "Good idea, I'll leave it to you."
Yue Qingya turned and looked at Patriarch Cheng. Before he could make a move, three or four Jindan cultivators appeared and said, "I hope you will show mercy, Master."
He remained indifferent, smiled, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the head of the Cheng family. His face turned purple and his life was in danger.
Suddenly, a clear and graceful voice sounded: "Fellow Daoist, I hope you will show mercy."
The Cheng family head's eyes lit up, and he uttered a word with difficulty: "Ancestor, save me!"
A monk in white robes appeared in mid-air. He lowered his head and smiled faintly, his demeanor indescribably elegant and graceful.
