Chapter 364: Demon World Relics (1)
The disciple asked puzzledly, “Isn’t this good?”
He glanced at the direction of the main peak and said, "That person was invited by the Heavenly Venerable. We don't need to lose face with him and make an enemy for nothing."
The disciples were still confused. Hadn't they always been giving face to the main peak?
The Peak Master sighed again and explained the pros and cons more clearly: "We want to seize power from the main peak, not the throne. As long as that person is here, we will never become the main peak. As for that priest, he doesn't care about our power grab and is unlikely to interfere. There's no need to make enemies unless it's necessary. Besides, asking the priest for help would come at a price, so it's not worth it."
The master of Bamboo Peak once again envied the situation of the main peak. The two priests of the main peak were invited by the Heavenly Venerable, and were given sufficient resources from the beginning - such as the forest. Therefore, the price paid by the main peak to ask them to take action was very small, or even no price. This was not the case for other peaks.
In the final analysis, the reason for today's embarrassing situation where someone let someone go is that the Minglan Sect was established too recently and has too shallow a foundation. All the Mahayana disciples are worshippers and there are no members of the sect. Their sense of belonging and honor and disgrace to the Minglan Sect is even weaker than those of the peak master disciples who joined the sect halfway.
The disciple next to him suddenly realized what was going on after hearing this and said, "I am a foolish disciple, but I am lucky to have the guidance of the Peak Master."
Similar conversations or concerns were played out in other peaks one after another. Finally, due to various considerations, all the peaks chose to give up their face this time and not ask their own Mahayana masters to take action. This also allowed Tao Zi and others to escape smoothly.
After arriving at the agreed location, the Thousand Needle Doctor stepped forward, took a look, frowned, and said, "This man is beyond saving."
The dagger in Tao Zi's hand was instantly across his throat. Cheng Wuchou's expression changed and he said, "A Zi!"
Her expression was cold as she said, "Keep it for a while."
The Thousand Needle Doctor wanted to nod, but because of the dagger at his throat, he could only say, "I can give it a try. Maybe I can save him for a while."
She retracted the dagger. The Thousand Needle Doctor worked for a long time, and even the spiritual energy in her body was almost exhausted, before she finally stabilized Xing Zhan's breath.
His face was pale as he sighed and said, "Fortunately, when I attacked, I avoided the most fatal part. I can still be saved for a while, but it won't be of much use. A physical cultivator's sea of consciousness is destroyed and the heart is injured. Even if it's not the most fatal part of the heart, it is still fatal."
Tao Zi stared at Xing Zhan for a while, then turned to Cheng Wuchou and asked, "Sir, do you have any ideas?"
"Maybe."
That night, with the full help of the out-of-body stage, they arrived at Xujia Gate.
The master took the patient's pulse, and Tao Zi stood aside, quietly watching Xing Zhan who was almost dead.
The gentleman sighed softly and said, "Xiao Zi, I'm sorry, I don't have any way to cure it."
The shadow of the tree outside the window fell on Tao Zi's face. She looked very calm: "Thank you for your help, sir."
The gentleman looked at her and suddenly felt uneasy. He asked, "Xiao Zi, what are you thinking about?"
Her gaze passed over the gentleman, settling on Xing Zhan's face. Her tone was unsettlingly calm. "Sir, for this rescue, I've made many assumptions, from the possible reactions of the various peaks of the Minglan Sect to the probability of each Mahayana cultivator taking action, including the escape route after rescuing Xing Zhan. And not a single one of these assumptions has anything to do with Xing Zhan's death."
He was silent, then said: "Xiao Zi, perhaps I should send a Mahayana cultivator to help you."
Tao Zi shook her head and said softly, "No, sir, once the Mahayana cultivators take action, the nature of the attack will change from saving people. Those worshippers will definitely not sit idly by. Even Qing Lan might take action. The result will only be worse than it is now."
The master and Cheng Wuchou exchanged a glance, and Cheng Wuchou nodded. He then said, "I'll go look at the ancient books again. Xiao Zi, think twice before you do anything."
"I understand, sir."
After the master left, Tao Zi sat next to Xing Zhan, silent and no one knew what she was thinking.
Cheng Wuchou comforted him, "No one would have thought that the Minglan Sect would leave such a sinister mark in his sea of consciousness."
She lowered her eyes and said, "I neglected it. I shouldn't have just thought that all the old people in the Punishment Hall had no spiritual traces. But it doesn't matter. I will take care of everything."
He looked at her worriedly and said, "Azi, tell me the truth, what do you want to do?"
Tao Zi's eyebrows curved, and her tone was gentle but firm: "Brother, I want to save him."
Cheng Wuchou became more worried and said, "Azi, I don't understand what you mean."
"Brother, have you ever heard the story of Demon Lord Xiu Zi?"
He was stunned: "What is this?"
The little fox on the side suddenly got angry: "Tao Zi, those are the remains of our demon clan!"
Tao Zi looked at it, earnestly and pleadingly, and said, "The greatest treasures of heaven and earth are always found by those who are destined to obtain them. Perhaps I am that destined one. Little fox, can you help me?"
It turned around several times, and finally gritted its teeth and said, "I can help you enter the ruins, but you can't take anything else except that medicine."
"nature."
Seeing this man and demon settle the matter in just a few words, Cheng Wuchou felt a little headache and asked, "A Zi, where are you going?"
She said concisely: "The demon world."
On the mainland, there are both the demon world and the devil world. There are almost no mortals in them, but that doesn't mean there are no Taoist or Buddhist monks. Just like there may be demon cultivators and devil cultivators hiding in towns, but this doesn't mean that humans can enter and exit the demon world freely.
Cheng Wuchou frowned and said, "I'll go with you."
Tao Zi nodded in agreement, and the little fox warned: "I can't control how many people enter the demon world, but I can only take three people into the ruins at most."
When the news reached the master, he immediately called Tao Zi and asked, "Are you going to ask for that life-saving medicine?"
She nodded and asked, "Sir, do you know that legend?"
He nodded and said, "I know. I've heard of it."
"Is that legend true?"
The gentleman nodded slowly: "Indeed."
Tao Zi's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. The master continued, "Throughout history, there have been countless people who have tried to find the life-saving elixir, but no one has ever succeeded."
She said solemnly: "I know, but if there is a chance, I have to give it a try."
The master asked again, "Which demon world are you going to?"
The demon world is not a single entity. Any place where demons gather and humans are rare is called the demon world. The human and demon races will spontaneously leave a blank area as a division, and occasionally wars are also for territory.
Tao Zi replied, "The one to the west."
The master pondered for a while, then said, "It's a chaotic time over there. How about this? I'll send a Mahayana cultivator to go with you to ensure your safety."
She immediately thanked him: "Thank you, sir."
Time was running out, so the three men and the fox rushed there and reached the edge of the demon world in just one day.
The edge of the land was desolate, with no one in sight. As they officially entered the demon realm, the little fox gave them one last warning: "Except for that medicine, you are not allowed to touch other opportunities."
