Chapter 260: Doubt (2)
After Li Xiu left, the bracelet on her hand suddenly felt hot.
Tao Zi asked, "Senior, what's the matter?"
The senior's voice rang directly in her mind: "The man you just fought with was in the Flesh Refining Stage?"
"Yes."
The senior lowered his voice: "Too weak, how can someone in the Flesh Refining Stage be so weak?"
Her expression changed, and she asked tentatively, "How long has it been since you last saw the outside world?"
The senior was silent for a moment, then unexpectedly appeared in a virtual image and said, "It's been too long, so long that I can't even remember it."
Tao Zi immediately understood and said, "Ever since the great war three thousand years ago, the number of physical cultivators has become increasingly scarce. Now, we physical cultivators can't even see the road clearly."
"What do you mean?"
She said sadly, "Whether it's Taoism, Buddhism, or even magic, they all have systematic methods of cultivation. Only physical cultivation doesn't have one. We know nothing and only rely on a few half-truths and a few secret manuals whose authenticity we can't tell."
Tao Zi paused, then said with a sigh, "Other cultivators may occasionally come up with new cultivation methods, but for us physical cultivators, every one of them is new."
The senior frowned: "How could this be?"
"There are too few predecessors who have taken the path of physical cultivation. Most people can't find a master, let alone inherit the tradition."
He fell silent for a long time before he said, "I never thought that physical cultivation would become like this."
Tao Zi smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone hates demonic cultivators, and they look down on physical cultivators. Senior, the number of people choosing the path of physical cultivation is decreasing."
She had ulterior motives when she said these words, but every word was true.
The senior looked at her and asked directly, "What level of Daoist cultivator do people think a cultivator in the Flesh Refining Stage can compete with?"
"In the Fusion Stage, those who are weaker can't even beat the Kaiguang Stage. No matter how strong they are, they are only in the Heartbeat Stage."
The senior was furious: "What nonsense!"
Tao Zi looked at him and said bitterly, "Senior, this is the truth. We physical cultivators are like babies, stumbling at every step."
He suddenly questioned: "What about you? Your strength is clearly normal?"
"I've been through the ruins of the Body Cultivation Sect before, so I can see the road ahead more clearly."
This is also an important reason why the physical cultivation of the Xingtang is better than the physical cultivation of the wild ones.
The senior closed his eyes and said before disappearing, "If I sense the remains of the body cultivation, I will tell you."
Tao Zi thanked him in a low voice, feeling a little happier.
That night, Tao Zi left the inn quietly.
She was covered in a cloak and used stealth techniques, being extremely cautious.
She came to Gao Ming's residence quietly, looked at him from afar, and did not dare to get close.
The moon was at its zenith and all around was quiet. Some people sneaked into the residence quietly.
Not long after, they came out carrying a sack and disappeared again.
Guessed it right.
She turned and left, and when she returned to the inn, the little fox was waiting for her with wide eyes.
"It's okay, go to sleep."
It muttered something incomprehensible, closed its eyes and fell asleep.
Tao Zi sat on the chair, poured herself a cup of tea, took out a mirror and contacted Liu Yue.
【Is there anything abnormal?】
Liu Yue returned very quickly.
Eight people are acting strangely. Three don't know their true identities, while the other five do, but their behavior is a little off.
Tao Zi sat there and drank the tea in one gulp. After leaving the small town, she reminded Liu Yue, but there were still fake demons infiltrating. These things were really unpleasant.
【Be careful of people who disappear for a period of time inexplicably】
【yes】
She sat there and was about to put the mirror away when words appeared over there.
Is it the same as three years ago?
Tao Zi calmly replied "yes".
After receiving the reply, Liu Yue put away the mirror and instructed the maid beside her: "Just like three years ago, it is better to kill the innocent than to let him go."
"yes."
Liu Yue's expression remained heavy as he watched the maid pass on the news.
Their numbers were small to begin with, and now they have been infiltrated. It is unknown when they can restore their original size.
At this time, no one in the Sword Sect's meeting room was relaxing.
The Sword Sect's Young Master looked expressionlessly at the monks kneeling below him and asked, "Why did you become a demon?"
The monk remained silent.
Fellow Daoist Yuan sighed and said, "Senior Brother Wangxu, I've already said it before, they are no longer themselves."
Wang Xu held the sword in his hand. Qiu Xin said solemnly, "He is a cultivator in the Xuanzhao period. Even Xuanzhao was attacked by him. This matter cannot be underestimated."
An elder from the Sword Sect sighed, "We caught quite a few people in this competition, and it's worth all our efforts."
The rewards for this competition are extremely rich, and even the Sword Mountain has been moved out, just to attract more cultivators.
Qiu Xuanhuan suddenly said, "By the way, is there really no need to notify Minglan Sect and Xujia Sect?"
Qiu Xin glanced at his junior fellow apprentice in confusion.
Fellow Daoist Yuan said calmly, "No, the Xujia Sect is suspected to be involved in this matter. The head of the Chunqiu Sect has also mentioned this. As for the Minglan Sect..."
He paused and looked at Wangxu.
The Sword Sect's Young Master said calmly, "Don't forget one person."
"Huh?" Someone looked over in confusion.
"Yue Qiran."
Everyone fell silent.
Wang Xu continued, "She was the one who brought up the Ming Lan Sect. I think everyone knows this. If she really had problems, the Ming Lan Sect wouldn't be very clean; if she had no problems, the Ming Lan Sect would be even less clean."
Everyone became increasingly quiet, and Wangxu's expression was indifferent, as if he was just talking about the weather.
Fellow Daoist Yuan pursed his lips and was the first to agree with Wangxu's words.
Qiu Xuanhuan was about to speak when her senior sister stopped her with a look.
Wangxu didn't care about their thoughts, but Qian Xuanhua of Yi Nian Men said tactfully: "Senior Brother Wangxu, don't forget that Tianzun."
The Tianzun's certainty was the real reason why Yue Qiran was convicted in just a few days.
He frowned and said, "That Tianzun never intervenes. The alien race has many methods."
He almost said bluntly that Qinglan Tianzun was kept in the dark.
No one dared to respond to this, and Wang Xu immediately made a conclusion: "Regardless of whether Yue Qiran is innocent, it is unlikely that Minglan Sect is innocent. Everyone, it is always better to be cautious."
After dealing with that person, the Sword Sect's Young Master stood up and left, with the elders following behind him.
He suddenly stopped.
"Young Sect Master?"
Wang Xu turned around to look at him and said something without any context, "Why do you allow them to cooperate with alien races?"
The elder was shocked and looked puzzled: "What does the young master mean?"
His words were still incomprehensible. "This time, I only contacted the younger generation of each sect. Elder, why do you think that is?"
He was silent for a long time before he smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master is smart."
"Tell me why."
"The aliens have a lot of things in their hands, and we need to get them back."
Wang Xu said coldly: "This is not a reason to kill mortals!"
A year ago, thousands of mortals died within the Minglan Sect’s sphere of influence.
"Only the Minglan Sect is like this."
“But you indulged it.”
The elder smiled bitterly and said, "We can't possibly attack a sect with a Heavenly Venerable. Young Sect Master, the overall situation is more important. Those mortals... sigh."
Wangxu said nothing more, flicked his sleeves, turned and left.
