Chapter 285 Banquet (4)
"W-What's going on?"
Tao Zi poured himself a glass of wine and said, "You may not believe me, so ask Fellow Daoist Yuan."
Fellow Daoist Yuan stood up and said, "These are fake demons. They are colluding with alien races."
Xu Qianjia stepped forward, looked at him, and said, "Could you explain it more clearly, Fellow Daoist Yuan?"
He recounted the whole story of the Corpse Demon Town, and emphasized and even exaggerated Tao Zi's contribution.
Some people have also heard about this incident, but still find it incredible: "When I heard about it before, I thought it was just a rumor."
Fellow Daoist Yuan said confidently, "I saw it with my own eyes. It's definitely not a rumor."
Tao Zi took a sip of wine and said, "He was so deliberate in getting you down the mountain. Guess what's down there?"
Everyone shuddered, and the elder said, "I'll send someone down to investigate."
At this time, someone asked, "How did Fellow Daoist Tao figure out his true identity?"
Tao Zi said calmly: "I guessed."
They looked at her in confusion, and she continued, "There are so many Golden Cores and Nascent Souls gathered here. It's impossible for the aliens to be so bold. What's more, the Sword Sect has always acted in a thorough manner."
He Qianyi said unhappily, "What if he guessed wrong? Wouldn't he have lost his life in vain?"
Xi Jing retorted: "If Senior Sister hadn't guessed, you would be the ones who would be dead."
He Qianyi frowned and said, "We are not that easy to deal with."
Tao Zi glanced at her and said, "As a Jindan, you naturally have the confidence to say this, but what about the others? Master He, it was me who risked being cursed to save people, not you. You don't have to take any risks, so why blame me?"
These words invisibly divided He Qianyi and other ordinary cultivators into two camps.
Fellow Daoist Yuan also chimed in, saying, "Master He, Fellow Daoist Tao risked his life to save us. Do you think that the lives of so many of us are not as valuable as this one person?"
Some of the braver ones also spoke up: "That's right, the facts prove that Fellow Daoist Tao is right. Master He, why did you treat her like this?"
He Qianyi frowned and said, "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried about killing the wrong person."
Han Yueshan snorted, "My senior sister is under such great pressure to save people, and Master He wants to throw dirty water on her with just a few words. It's really chilling."
Xi Jing also said, "Why do you have to talk about these useless things? You might as well care about how much pressure Senior Sister was under when she took action."
He Qianyi angrily asked back, "What do you mean by throwing dirty water on her?"
Zhao Xue stood up and rarely spoke, "What you just said is that Senior Sister doesn't care about other people's lives and kills people for a guess?"
"Isn't it?"
"If my sister didn't care about other people's lives, why would she bother with so much? She would just watch you go down the mountain with a cold eye. Now look, after helping you, you still won't let go of these places."
Everyone gradually came to their senses and looked at He Qianyi with intriguing eyes.
Her face turned pale, and Xu Qianjia scolded her, "Qianyi, why don't you apologize?"
She bit her lower lip tightly, somewhat reluctantly.
Tao Zi said, "Forget it. I don't dare to accept Master He's apology. But I still want to remind you of one thing - you can't be too cautious when doing things. If I were like you, I don't know how many of those present here would be alive."
At this time, the disciples sent down the mountain also returned. The leading disciple said respectfully, "There are a group of aliens hiding halfway up the mountain. We have all captured them."
The elder lowered his head and asked, "How is your strength?"
"They are all erosion-type alien races. If they hadn't been prepared in advance, I'm afraid that those below the Jindan stage would have been unable to escape."
Everyone quieted down, and Ming Lanzong's expression became even worse. Xu Qianjia took the initiative to apologize on behalf of his junior sister before anyone else spoke.
Tao Zi responded nonchalantly and was too lazy to talk to him.
Some disciples from the three sects and four schools boldly discussed in a low voice, while others, especially the independent cultivators, did not say much, but their subtle expressions were enough to explain everything.
He Qianyi's body trembled slightly, but she didn't know what to say.
Tao Zi continued to pour wine, and the Sword Sect's top disciple of the Spiritual Silence Stage smiled and reminded him, "Fellow Daoist Tao, this is a special situation, don't get drunk."
She smiled and replied, "I won't drink too much anymore, don't worry."
Cheng Luo watched from the side and said with interest, "Junior Sister He has good intentions, but it's a pity that she's too concerned with details. Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to trivial matters. Young Master Xu, you still need to teach her more."
"Everyone makes mistakes, not to mention my junior sister is not at fault. Young Master Cheng should stay out of the affairs of my Minglan Sect."
When He Qianyi saw him bring up the matter again, her face turned pale. Fortunately, her senior brother did not continue the conversation, which saved her some face.
Cheng Luo didn't care about his words. He walked straight to Tao Zi with a glass of wine and toasted her with a glass of wine: "Miss Tao is bold and decisive. Cheng admires you."
Tao Zi returned a glass, and many people woke up as if from a dream, and came over to toast them. Even the Jian Sect and the Yisan Sect couldn't stop them.
Seeing that Tao Zi was drunk again, everyone let her go.
Looking at the senior sister's dazed eyes and slightly flushed face, Xi Jing and the others were not sure whether she was really drunk.
Cheng Luo looked at Tao Zi and whispered to the disciple beside him, "Tao Zi's eyes are quite beautiful, but her face doesn't match her."
The disciple didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
At this time, the main peak of Minglan Sect
Lian Qingzhou looked at the necklace in his hand and said angrily, "We failed again. We failed at Xulan Palace that time, and we failed this time too. The alien race is really useless!"
The "person" standing before her was extremely ugly, making people nauseous at the mere sight of him. It said, "Why do you say that? You personally took action against Xulan Palace that time, but you were defeated, weren't you?"
She slammed the table hard, stood up and said, "What are you aliens doing? When will you destroy this disgusting world? I've had enough!"
The alien shrugged and said, "Both the human race and the demon race are difficult to deal with. We are also looking for opportunities. You don't have to be so anxious."
Lian Qingzhou became even angrier. "Opportunity, opportunity, opportunity! I've heard you say this word a thousand times. You're just a bunch of cowardly wimps!"
The "person" said bluntly, "You can't say that. What we fear least is death. Moreover, our recent failures are inseparable from you. Whether it's Xulan Palace or the Sword Sect, wasn't it you who provided the information? We also lost many of our people because of this."
Lian Qingzhou took a step forward and said aggressively, "What? You still want to settle the score with me?"
"We're on the same side, so there's no point in talking about settling scores." The alien chuckled. "I just hope the information you give us next time is more accurate. You said at the time that the Master of Xulan Palace was a descendant of a branch of the Cheng family and held one of the keys. So, what is the relationship between the Sword Sect and the Cheng family?"
Although Lian Qingzhou was impatient, he still explained: "It doesn't matter. The divine sword appeared in Jianshan. It was just a coincidence."
