Chapter 405: Remains of the Zhou General (17)
Yue Qingya's tone softened, and he said, "Young Sect Master, I trust you as a person, but I don't trust the Sword Sect. Don't forget, back in the Wonderful Beast Valley, your Sword Sect fabricated a lot of public opinion in order to get the Minglan Sect to open the valley to rescue you. Why didn't the Sword Sect care about Qinglan's reputation or the so-called overall situation at that time? Ultimately, it was just a cover for their own interests."
His voice became deeper: "My master is not that kind of person. There must be other reasons."
Yue Qingya refused to give up and continued, "Master Wang Shao, I just want to remind you of one thing. Even if the Minglan Sect is destroyed, Qinglan can still survive and can still deal with the alien races. If he ignores the demise of the continent for his own selfish reasons, then no matter how much you indulge him, he will not give everything for the continent."
I was speechless, and this argument ended here.
Tao Zi didn't close her eyes to rest either, but was discussing what Xiao Gui said.
Cheng Wuchou frowned and said, "If those ghosts keep getting stronger, it will be a big problem."
She whispered, "Not necessarily. Sir has sent a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage to my side. Once he arrives, perhaps everything will be better."
He was still extremely worried. Tao Zi added, "General Zhou is truly determined to die, so he will never be in a desperate situation."
"I hope so." Cheng Wuchou put aside his thoughts and said, "Azi, you should get some rest soon. No matter how good that ghost cultivator's technique is, your physical condition will definitely be affected if you give up control of your body for such a long time."
She nodded in agreement and closed her eyes to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already half dark outside. I looked again and saw Cheng Wuchou standing by the bed with a very gloomy expression.
Tao Zi called out in confusion, "Brother?"
Cheng Wuchou half-knelt down and looked at her with worry in his eyes: "Master Yue said that only those with serious physical injuries would sleep for so long in this inn."
She was stunned for a moment, and he continued, "Listen to my brother. Don't give up control of your body unless it is necessary."
Tao Zi pursed her lips and replied, "Don't worry, brother. It's probably because the technique hasn't been mastered yet."
Cheng Wuchou still looked at her, and she promised: "Unless it is the most dangerous time, I will not hand over the control of my body to you again."
Ah Xiong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, "Ah Xiong, I'll go to the door to check the situation. I won't wander around. You wait here for them."
When they reached the corridor, no one had left the room. Tao Zi went downstairs, and the old man was still sitting there motionless as usual.
The old man watched her go downstairs and said slowly, "Humans and ghosts have different paths. This is not an empty statement. Although you are a cultivator, you should not act rashly when you are not strong enough."
She smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice, old man."
The old man didn't look at her again, but started to stare blankly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Tao Zi opened the door and walked out, but saw two familiar figures outside the door. The three of them looked at each other.
She silently made way and the two of them walked in.
The old man said without even looking up: "Two people, one room, one bag of spirit stones."
The cultivator in the out-of-body stage took out a bag full of spirit stones. He was not afraid of taking too much, but only of taking too little.
Lu Shaobai was poor and could only watch silently from the side.
When he got upstairs, Lu Shaobai only glanced at his own room and then went to the Tao Zi siblings.
The cultivator in the out-of-body stage was not in a hurry to go over and closed his eyes to rest.
Lu Shaobai greeted Cheng Wuchou who was in the same room: "Master Cheng."
Cheng Wuchou nodded, his eyes full of smiles, and said, "Finally you're here, otherwise your senior sister would have to worry about you."
Tao Zi was silent. Had she shown any concern before?
Lu Shaobai looked at her, respectful yet grateful: "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister."
She smiled and asked, "How did you get together with him?"
"I met him on the road. He said he and my senior sister are good friends."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Indeed. By the way, what is your role?"
He looked at his senior sister in confusion, "Role?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and realized something was wrong. Cheng Wuchou stepped forward and said, "That's the role you played in those two illusions."
He suddenly realized and said, "The first illusion was of a deputy general beside General Zhou, and the second was of a street vendor."
How could this be different?
Cheng Wuchou asked again: "After you left the illusion, did you receive any other tasks?"
Lu Shaobai was even more confused and asked, "Are there any more missions?"
Tao Zi frowned and said, "Shaobai, tell me the news you got after leaving the illusion."
He was stunned for a moment, but without asking any more questions, he said directly: "I got the illusion reward, which is a storage bag and a sword, which is a third-grade spiritual weapon."
She glanced at Lu Shaobai's wrist and found no bracelet, but still asked, "And then? No other news?"
"Then a voice came, saying that our training had ended. We could choose to leave the ruins or continue searching for treasures within. Once we found them, they would be ours. There was no mention of any mission."
Tao Zi reacted quickly and asked, "Which road did you take after leaving the fog?"
Lu Shaobai thought for a moment and replied, "Right one."
Cheng Wuchou whispered, "I'm the second from the right."
She and Li Xiu chose the second from the left.
Cheng Wuchou slowly exhaled and said, "This relic really requires luck."
Tao Zi smiled and said, "It's not entirely luck."
Seeing them like this, Lu Shaobai immediately realized what was happening and said, "Did I choose the wrong path?"
She said, "Not necessarily. We haven't received any rewards yet, and our levels will eliminate people."
He was stunned for a moment and said, "I just need to keep doing something. My body is out of control, but there is no such thing as elimination."
Cheng Wuchou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Isn't this equivalent to giving away rewards for free?"
Lu Shaobai shook his head and said, "Not really. Some people use teleportation talismans to leave when they can't hold on any longer. I almost couldn't resist leaving several times."
Tao Zi understood, which meant that these people had the qualifications to choose to leave, even if it was not at her level. No, they did not have their own level.
Cheng Wuchou thought more deeply and said, "This relic is cruel enough."
Lu Shaobai looked over in confusion. He casually explained, "Which cultivator who can survive so many repeated illusions doesn't have some ambition and ability? But because of choosing the wrong path, he lost the possibility of entering the final stage. This is a big blow."
He was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I don't think it's a good idea to fight."
Cheng Wuchou looked at his sister silently and said, "Your junior brother is not very good at speaking. You just ruined his plan."
Lu Shaobai suddenly realized what was happening and said embarrassedly, "Cheng Zhenjun, that's not what I meant. It's just that we physical cultivators have always put more effort than reward, and we've long been accustomed to it."
