Chapter 316: Killing (3)
Tao Zi was finally stopped by Mr. Xu.
Old Xu looked at her warily, not rushing to attack, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"
She changed her voice to a male one and said, "Mr. Xu, I just want to remind you not to be an accomplice to the evildoer again."
He was stunned for a moment, and Tao Zi continued, "Take a good look at Minglan Sect, you'll find something big."
Old Xu looked at her and suddenly took action: "Whether it is true or not, we will find out after arresting you and interrogating you."
Tao Zi managed to hold on for a few moves with the reminder from his senior, but was still unable to withstand the attack.
Old Xu's attacks became more and more rapid. She seized the opportunity and released the little ghost in her sea of consciousness.
The little ghost was particularly fierce. He cried loudly as soon as he arrived. The resentment and despair in his voice made Old Xu dazed for a moment. Tao Zi took the opportunity to concentrate his spiritual sense and launched another spiritual attack. This time, with the help of the little ghost, he succeeded.
Seeing Old Xu standing there motionless with a look of pain on his face, she quickly got away. She couldn't kill Old Xu, but hiding from him was no problem.
The seniors helped to clean up the aftermath and erased any traces of possible pursuit.
By the time Old Xu came to his senses, the man had already run dozens of miles away. The most annoying thing was that in her perception, she was in four directions at the same time. If she chased him in the wrong direction, she would probably not be able to find him.
And all this happened in just two or three seconds.
Old Xu chose to rush back with a gloomy face, but he was still thinking about what Tao Zi had just said.
When he returned to the town, it was already in a mess. Everyone in the Xingtang had scars on their bodies and was fleeing in all directions. Xing Li was gone.
He immediately understood that the man was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The hateful thing was that he was fooled and could not catch him.
Forget it, Xu Qianjia didn't ask him to protect Xing Li anyway.
At this moment, Yue Qingya took the unconscious Xing Li and the worried Li Xiu to look for Tao Zi everywhere.
Li Xiu said anxiously: "We agreed to meet here, how come he's gone?"
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. Just look around."
At this time, Tao Zi's voice sounded: "How is it?"
Yue Qingya heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her and said, "The person has been captured."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "That's good. What about Xing He?"
"The woman took them away. It seems someone picked them up."
She nodded again: "Let's go."
They arrived at a cave, and Li Xiu and Yue Qingya were guarding outside. She took off her human skin mask, took a bucket of cold water to wake Xing Li up, and at the same time used her spiritual sense to control the entire cave to prevent him from sending any news back.
Xing Li coughed twice, slowly opened his eyes, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
His pupils constricted and his face was full of disbelief.
Tao Zi smiled and said, "Xing Li, long time no see."
Xing Li closed his eyes, and when he looked at her again, his expression was complicated and he didn't speak for a long time.
She added, "It's been so long since we last met, why don't you say hello?"
He struggled to stand up and bowed: "Senior Sister, long time no see."
Before Tao Zi could say anything, he suddenly rushed over and went straight for her throat.
She grabbed his wrist and brought him down.
Xing Liben had already been drugged, and now he was completely exhausted.
"Knuckle Bone Slash..." Tao Zi looked at his hand and sighed, "When I found this technique, I never thought that someone would use it against me."
Xing Li said hoarsely, "Xing Li never thought of standing against Senior Sister."
"You have always been loyal to the sect, far more than to me."
Xing Li remained silent. Tao Zi released his hand, threw a dagger to the ground, and then said with a smile, "You should understand what I mean."
He looked at the dagger and asked in a low voice: "Senior Sister, is it possible for you to go back?"
She smiled faintly and said, "Impossible. That person won't allow me to go back, and I can't go back. Xing Li, do you know the truth?"
Faced with this sudden question, Xing Li did not answer. He simply forced himself to stand up and bowed, "Senior Sister, this is the last time I will bow to you. I am happy that you still have strength, but I also feel sad for the Minglan Sect."
He then picked up a dagger and committed suicide.
Looking at the blood splattered on the ground, Tao Zi sighed deeply and said to himself, "As loyal as ever."
Li Xiu and the others heard the commotion and walked in. They heard the whole thing clearly. Yue Qingya asked, "Is this person not answering because he's trying to prevent you from taking a picture?"
She nodded and instructed, "Li Xiu, burn his body."
Li Xiu agreed.
On the way back, Li Xiu wondered, "Is this man loyal or not? If he's not loyal, he's willing to commit suicide. If he's loyal, he seems to have feelings for you, his senior sister."
"There's no conflict." Tao Zi said calmly, "If he was just Xing Li, he would help me. Unfortunately, he is also the head of the Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall. To him, Minglan Sect is more important than anyone else."
He frowned and said, "Minglan Sect, are there many people like this?"
She said indifferently: "Not many, one dead, no one left."
Li Xiu also realized that she was in a bad mood and stopped talking.
Yue Qingya patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Be it Xing Zhan or Xing Li, they were all brought up by her. They are not as ungrateful as Xu Qianjia and the other two. It is impossible to say that they have no feelings.
Tao Zi whispered, "Xing Li has risked his life for me so many times. I could never have imagined this ending."
Yue Qingya asked, "Do you regret it?"
She shook her head decisively: "If it happens again, I will let him die. With his ability to manage the Punishment Hall, he can't live. It's just a bit of a pity."
Yue Qingya smiled and said, "If he hadn't betrayed you, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."
"That's impossible. From the very beginning, he was loyal to the Ming Lan Sect." Tao Zi said, sighing, "But I'm still surprised that he didn't try to pass on the news to the Ming Lan Sect. This is probably the last bit of his feelings for me."
At this time, Li Xiu asked curiously: "Why don't you go see Xing He? I feel like he should be on your side."
"This guy is very smart. It would be bad if he saw something. The situation is complicated right now. The fewer people who know my identity, the better."
He suddenly realized: "Are you worried that there is a traitor around him?"
Tao Zi could not deny it and said, "I still believe in his ability to control people, but no one knows whether the person he is controlling is actually a human. Moreover, human memories are not impossible to detect, so it is better to be cautious."
Hearing this, Li Xiu shuddered and immediately said, "Don't worry, I will never betray you."
Tao Zi was too lazy to pay attention to this guy who had no idea what he was thinking, and said, "Li Xiu, take advantage of this opportunity to get out, don't go back yet."
He was dumbfounded: "Sister Tao, you need to calm down."
"I have something for you."
