Chapter 339: Down to the Abyss
Xu Qianjia glanced at his junior brother, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "My junior brother has always been outspoken. I hope that Fellow Daoist Tao will forgive me."
She smiled gently and said, "No, Master Qingqin is still young, I understand."
Lan Yongji's face darkened, and before he could say anything, Yue Qingya told him what had happened.
The elder's expression grew serious. "The aliens are making such a big move this time?"
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Judging from the appearance of the aliens, they are stalling for time. We can't wait any longer."
Lan Yongji said impatiently: "No one can get down here. What else can we do if we don't wait?"
Tao Zi smiled slightly and said, "Rumor has it that the Young Sect Master is gentle and considerate of the overall situation, and that True Person Qingqin is willing to sacrifice his life for justice. I think the two of you have your own plans in mind."
Xu Qianjia choked. His reputation was fine, but when had Lan Yongji ever risked his own life? She was lying with her eyes open, and it was hard for the two of them to deny it.
Yue Qingya also echoed from the side, and the two of them sang the same tune and forcibly lifted them up.
The elder noticed something was wrong and frowned, saying, "But given the current situation, if the Young Sect Master and his men go down, they'll be dead."
Tao Zi smiled at this time, and said in a gentle tone: "I can go down, but there is one condition."
Xu Qianjia's right eye suddenly twitched, and she continued, "If there's an opportunity in Xiaoyuan, I can take it myself."
The elder said subconsciously: "This is a place of training. Opportunities depend on one's own strength. Fellow Daoist Tao..."
"Elder!" Xu Qianjia suddenly interrupted him and looked at her and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao, something that can attract the attention of an alien race must be extraordinary. It would be inappropriate to leave it in the Yisan Sect. Our Minglan Sect will make additional compensation."
She was quite unconvinced and sneered, "What kind of compensation? Is it the same as the one between Master Qingqin and Master He?"
Lan Yongji said unhappily, "It's already this late, and you're still fussing over this."
"Since Master Qingqin knew the situation was urgent, why didn't she go down herself instead of waiting for a physical cultivator like me to fight to the death?"
He was unable to refute for a moment and just waved his sleeves without saying a word.
The elder glanced at Xu Qianjia and said, "This journey is a life-or-death journey. It's only right for Daoist Tao to take as much as he can. But what the Young Sect Master said is indeed reasonable. How about this? Except for the looted items from the foreign races, Daoist Tao can take the rest as he pleases."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "That's good. After all, you are a sensible senior. But I hope the Young Sect Master can rest assured. Opportunities are not something you can just take for yourself. Moreover, I may not be able to come back alive. You don't have to worry about me taking too much from now on."
Yue Qingya also said: "If the Young Sect Master is really worried about giving us an advantage, why not go down with us? It will be an extra layer of protection."
Xu Qianjia finally couldn't control his expression and looked at them coldly.
Her smile deepened. "Young Sect Master, we are going down here to stop the aliens' conspiracy. Your expression is inappropriate. If someone who doesn't know the truth saw it, they would think that you value Xiao Yuan's things more than the aliens."
The elder looked at Xu Qianjia with a headache, not knowing what he was thinking. His appearance was really a cause for gossip.
Yue Qingya said calmly, "Azi, you're mistaken. This Xiaoyuan item doesn't belong to the Young Sect Master alone, but to someone with a predestined relationship. How could the Young Sect Master delay important matters for something that doesn't belong to him?"
Xu Qianjia also realized that his expression was not very good, and he tried to restrain his expression and said, "You two are joking. Even if it belongs to me alone, it is not as important as the alien race."
Tao Zi nodded and stood there, reluctant to leave.
Lan Yongji asked impatiently, "What are you waiting for?"
"I come from a small sect, so I don't have any weapons worth showing off." Tao Zi sighed deeply. "Last time when I was fighting against the alien race, I was lucky enough to receive some weapons from my senior brother from the Tiandao Sect. Otherwise, I would have been in danger of my life or death."
A little? Xu Qianjia was about to laugh out loud, but the elder thought it made sense. He took out some weapons and handed them to Tao Zi and the others, saying, "I should have gone down this trip, but I'm not strong enough. I have to stay here. I hope you two return safely."
"You're welcome, senior."
Tao Zi took over the weapons and took a quick look. They were all spiritual weapons. She gave some to Yue Qingya. The two of them jumped off the small abyss without hesitation, which made Xu Qianjia, who was standing aside without any expression, seem ignorant of the overall situation.
Seeing that no one was around, the elder frowned and said, "Young Sect Master, what you just did was inappropriate. Those two are risking their lives doing this. As the young sect master of one of the three sects, how can you be so indifferent?"
Saying he had no reaction was still giving Xu Qianjia some face. He lowered his head and said, "Elder, this time it is indeed Qianjia's fault. There will definitely not be a next time."
"Well, the situation is special, and you've only been in this position for a short time. It's understandable that you can't make the right choice."
Hearing the elder's words, he naturally agreed, but no one noticed the gloom in his eyes.
Young Sect Master? What kind of Young Sect Master is he? Even the few capable Out-of-Body Stage cultivators can tell him what to do.
Xu Qianjia glanced at the abyss, and a thought emerged in his heart: It would be best if she couldn't get out.
Tao Zi didn't care how much Xu Qianjia hoped for her death. This place was full of mad monsters, and monsters would self-destruct from time to time. It would be strange if the spiritual energy didn't riot.
Yue Qingya could still barely protect himself, but Tao Zi was much luckier than him. For some reason, those monsters avoided her.
Bang!
There was a loud noise, and she looked in that direction, feeling extremely uneasy.
She said, "Qingya, you stay here first, I'll go over and take a look alone."
Yue Qingya naturally disagreed with this idea, but looking at the monsters that bypassed her and then at the crazy beasts that kept attacking her, she had no choice but to agree: "I'll come find you after I deal with the monsters here."
Tao Zi responded and rushed over there.
When she got there, dozens of aliens appeared in front of her. They surrounded a small demon beast. Disgusting gray threads flowed out of their hands and connected to the small demon beast, wrapping it up so that only a little fur was exposed outside.
Tao Zi suddenly thought of the word "assimilation." These aliens were assimilating the monster! Once the monster was assimilated, it would be completely used by the aliens. If she was not mistaken, the explosion just now was the monster resisting.
A monster that could make the aliens spend so much effort to assimilate... Tao Zi broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't wait any longer. He shouted, took out a hammer and smashed it. He would rather kill the monster than let the aliens succeed!
The aliens surrounding the monster didn't even raise their heads, concentrating on assimilating the monster. Instead, the other monsters on the side rushed up like crazy to stop her.
