Chapter 313: Kill
In a daze, she entered the painting.
Right across from the painting was Xu Qianjia, but because the spirit in the painting was weak, she couldn't see clearly, and the sounds she heard were a little vague.
His mouth opened and closed. "I've already said this before, this can't be done. Even if it succeeds, it'll just be a way to vent your anger. But you insist on doing it anyway."
The person with his back to the painting should be Lan Yongji: "Who would have thought that He Yinggui would be such an ungrateful person? Besides, it was you and your junior sister who kept targeting Tao Zi at the banquet, which made everyone suspicious."
"Senior Brother doesn't want to..." There was a vague sentence in the middle that was unclear, "Tao Zi has been targeting me. If I don't speak up, others will just think we are weak and can be bullied."
He Qianyi's voice was intermittent, "It's my fault. If I hadn't been the first to express my support for Miss Zhou, I wouldn't have had to confront He Yinggui and force Senior Brother to speak."
They spoke again, but it was too vague for Tao Zi to hear clearly. However, one sentence reached her ears: "This painting is annoying to look at. Why not burn it?"
Lan Yongji said this, and she became extremely alert. Just as she was about to withdraw her consciousness, she heard Xu Qianjia say, "No, keep it. We can't let anyone talk about it anymore."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, he suddenly said: "I have something else to do here, you guys go first."
They both left.
About a quarter of an hour later, a vague figure emerged: "Young Sect Master, there is no news from the No Man's Land."
Xu Qianjia said in a gentle tone, "Mr. Xu, thank you for taking this trip."
It turned out to be Mr. Xu. Did he go to the no-man’s land?
Before Tao Zi could think about it, Old Xu suddenly smashed a vase not far away: "Someone is peeping!"
Tao Zi's consciousness was forcibly brought back by the senior.
She suddenly opened her eyes, sweat on her forehead: "Thank you, senior, for disrupting his perception."
"No need, it's just a piece of cake."
Tao Zi paused for a moment before asking, "Senior, is there any way to retrieve the consciousness sealed in the painting?"
The senior shook his head and said, "No."
"I haven't completely cut off contact with the painting. If someone notices me again, what are the chances of me being tracked down?"
He said, "Don't worry about that. Your consciousness isn't strong enough to last forever. Plus, your sealing technique is too crude. It won't last long and will slowly dissipate."
"If the painting is damaged before it dissipates, will it affect me?"
The senior patiently explained, "Yes, but the consciousness you left in the painting is extremely weak, so the impact won't be significant."
Tao Zi breathed a sigh of relief. The senior looked at her and smiled again, "You didn't hesitate when you were painting, but now you're worried?"
She smiled and said, "I will do this no matter what the consequences are. Now I just want peace of mind."
After the senior disappeared, her face darkened slightly. Old Xu was the person she left with Xu Qianjia. She had saved his life by coincidence, and he voluntarily stayed with her to protect her. But she felt that Old Xu was too pedantic, so she invited him to Xu Qianjia, but now he has become an obstacle.
She thought about it carefully, and her brows suddenly relaxed. Old Xu was not just being pedantic towards her. Staying with Xu Qianjia was also a disguised way of suppressing those alien races that had not yet emerged.
As dawn approached, she got up and opened the door. A man was standing outside the yard, with his hands clasped behind his back and his back to her.
Tao Zi looked at him and said, "Fellow Daoist, why are you standing here so early? Is there something wrong?"
The man turned around, and when she saw his face clearly, her heart tightened, but her expression remained unchanged.
There were seven or eight scars on this man's face. Although he tried his best to appear gentle, he could not hide the innate ferocity in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Tao, I heard that one of my disciples didn't handle things properly, so I came here to apologize."
Tao Zi pretended not to know and asked, "Who are you?"
"The current head of the Xingtang is Xing Li."
She looked at him in surprise and said, "It's just a small matter. Why bother the hall master to come out?"
Xing Li gave a stiff smile, as if he hadn't smiled in a hundred years. "Since it's just a small matter, Brother Tao, please don't make a fuss about it."
She frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Master Xing?"
"In just one night, these things have spread throughout the north. If it wasn't the Yisan Sect who took action, who else could it be?"
Tao Zi's face turned cold: "I don't need to do these things."
In fact, she didn't do that.
Xing Li observed her expression, then bowed and said, "I hope so. Goodbye."
Yue Qingya stood beside Tao Zi at some point and whispered, "I've heard that Xing Li is deeply loyal to the Ming Lan Sect. It's true. He even came to warn us personally about something like this."
He didn't answer, and she didn't need to.
The Yisan Sect was probably the first sect to leave, and the Minglan Sect would not try to keep them.
After returning to the sect, Zhou Qiandan relaxed completely and said, "I'm finally back. I couldn't even sleep well in Minglan Sect."
Tao Zi said to him and Lu Shaobai: "You go and rest first, and then start practicing in the afternoon."
"Yes, Senior Sister!"
She turned to look at Han Yueshan and said, "Yueshan, is there something wrong?"
He had been looking at her since they returned, and it was obvious that he had something to say.
He said excitedly: "Senior Sister, that person named Zhang Qian brought a lot of mortals with him."
"yesterday?"
Han Yueshan nodded frantically: "Yeah, how do I get the photo sticker?"
Jin Tairan carefully expressed himself: "I know this!"
She nodded casually and said, "Okay, you do it."
After they were all busy with their own things, Tao Zi gestured to Li Xiu and Yue Qingya to come over to her side.
Li Xiu skillfully took out the soundproofing note and said, "I knew something was wrong. Tell me."
She asked, "Do you know Xing Li?"
"Xing Li? His surname is Xing, and he's from the Xingtang?"
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Yes, he is only ten years younger than Xing Zhan. He was originally the deputy head of the Xing Hall, and now he has been promoted to head."
Li Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Available?"
She shook her head and said resolutely, "He should be killed."
He looked over in astonishment: "Isn't he with Xing Zhan?"
"These two are different. Xing Zhan is loyal only to me, while Xing Li is loyal to the Minglan Sect. In other words, he listens to whoever is in that position. This man is extremely powerful. In the entire Xingtang, only Xing Zhan can suppress him. He must not be allowed to stay."
Li Xiu frowned and said, "Can't we instigate rebellion?"
"It's impossible. Firstly, in his mind, I, a traitor, am far less credible than Qinglan. Secondly, what I'm about to do will be detrimental to the Minglan Sect, and he is one of the few people in the Minglan Sect who is absolutely loyal to the sect."
Yue Qingya asked: "What do you want to do?"
Tao Zi said, "Xingtang has ten connections, six of which are controlled by Xing Zhan and four by Xing Li. We can use the remaining four to lure him into action."
