Chapter 406: Remains of the Zhou General (18)
Cheng Wuchou laughed, patted Lu Shaobai on the shoulder, and said, "It's not without reason that you can come all the way here."
Tao Zi looked at the sky outside which was about to get dark, calculated the time, and said gently, "Shaobai, you should go and rest first. It will be dark in half an hour at most, so you must stay awake by then."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
Lu Shaobai returned to his room.
Cheng Wuchou sighed, "The situation for physical cultivators is very difficult, but those who can endure it have strong willpower."
She also smiled and nodded.
As night slowly approached, Tao Zi suddenly stood up and said, "Brother, I'm going to go downstairs to see the old man."
Cheng Wuchou nodded and said, "Go ahead. If something goes wrong, alert the people upstairs immediately."
"I see."
Tao Zi walked downstairs.
The old man was not at home for the previous two nights, and she wanted to see where he had gone.
When I got downstairs, the old man was still there, even slowly flipping through an account book that he had taken out from somewhere.
"Little girl, why are you coming down here again instead of resting upstairs?"
Tao Zi smiled lightly, not hiding her intentions: "Old man, when night comes, do you also go crazy?"
The old man laughed and said, "You little girl, you actually ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
She had an idea and realized that her bet was right.
The old man looked at her with a smile and said, "As for me, I have my own place to go. You don't need to worry about me, little girl."
Tao Zi was still looking at her. The next moment, the old woman disappeared from her sight, and the entire inn lost its protection.
The noise became louder and louder, and the ghosts outside were eager to try.
Li Xiu and the others also came down.
Cheng Wuchou asked, "Where is that old man?"
"He disappeared out of thin air. During this process, I didn't sense even a trace of ghost energy from the old man."
Everyone was silent. Wang Xu said slowly, "I'm afraid we can't fathom the full extent of this old man's strength."
Shao Hua didn't worry about these things at all. He looked directly at another cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage and asked, "I haven't asked for your name yet, but I heard that you came here with the Yisan Sect?"
These two unrelated sentences made Tao Zi know what she was suspecting.
The cultivator said calmly, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shaohua. My last name is Li, so you can just call me Fellow Daoist Li."
Shaohua laughed, and the spider veins on his face became more terrifying: "Oh, you even know my name."
He was not afraid and said directly: "Everyone knows the name of the poison doctor."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wangxu spoke appropriately to ease the atmosphere, and the group walked outside.
The night passed uneventfully, but everyone's mood grew heavier. This was all due to Li Xiu's words: "It has indeed become stronger. The ghost that could fight the Flower Monk to a draw before is now overwhelming the Flower Monk."
Shaohua pressed his head irritably and said, "Why didn't I notice it?"
Xi Jing whispered, "Sister Shaohua, this must be because you are too strong, so their strengths and weaknesses are the same to you."
Tao Zi's mouth twitched. When did Xi Jing become so good at talking?
Xi Jing looked at her senior sister's puzzled eyes, her heart filled with tears. These were reflexive answers that were forced out of her. How could she and her senior brother be so unlucky to meet this lay Buddhist.
Shaohua laughed, patted Xijing's head, and said, "You're so sensible."
As they were talking, Hua Monk also murmured, "Isn't this progress too rapid?"
Yue Qingya said: "The strongest ones haven't made much progress, so we still have a chance."
At noon, the first group of disciples from the Tiandao Sect arrived, and they brought with them a number of cultivators. At that time, Yue Qingya was guarding the city gate.
The disciples of Tiandao Sect reacted very quickly. When they saw Yue Qingya's gesture, they immediately signaled everyone not to speak.
They only started to communicate when they arrived at the inn.
Tao Zi heard the noise and went down to see who it was. It was the familiar Daoist Yuan, who was accompanied by Yan Wenxuan, He Yinggui and those ghost cultivators.
Everyone laughed as soon as their eyes met. Yan Wenxuan said, "I guessed you were here, and sure enough."
Fellow Daoist Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao."
She smiled and returned the greeting.
Not long after, people from the Sword Sect also arrived.
What followed was basically Fellow Daoist Yuan and Wangxu exchanging information, while they listened on the side.
It has to be said that a big sect has its advantages. The terrain around Xucheng has been drawn out, and even the locations of famous events that have occurred in Xucheng's history have been marked out.
Zhao Xue watched silently from the side.
Cheng Wuchou lowered his voice and said, "The Tiandao Sect must be busy with these things, so they came in so late."
The Tiandao Sect disciple heard it, smiled at him, and said, "That's right."
This disciple should have a very high position, even Fellow Daoist Yuan calls him senior brother.
Not long after, Cheng Luo also arrived. To everyone's surprise, he came with Qiu Xuanhuan.
Those who knew the inside story glanced at Shaohua the moment they saw Qiu Huanhuan. Shaohua remained indifferent and drank tea by herself. However, when she looked at Cheng Luo and Tao Zi, there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes.
Tao Zi knew at a glance that they suspected that they had deliberately brought Qiu Huanhuan with them.
Li Xiu's eyelids were sharp, and she whispered, "Sister Tao, this Master Cheng seems to have a wound on his face."
Everyone present had good eyes and ears, and they all looked at Cheng Luo's face. Sure enough, Cheng Luo had a wound on his face, but it was very small and difficult to detect.
Shaohua sneered and said, "Master Cheng is so powerful, how come he got injured?"
This Cheng Luo has a bad relationship with the poison doctor? Everyone exchanged glances.
Cheng Luo smiled helplessly and said, "Alas, it's not that Fellow Daoist Qiu was too excited to see me and threw the talisman at me directly, and I was unable to react for a while."
Shaohua's expression immediately improved and she ignored him.
Cheng Luo brought his people to sit at Wangxu's table and had some tea and snacks. One of the disciples of Tiandao Sect even gave up his seat for Qiu Huanhuan.
At such times, the status of the cultivators was immediately apparent. Even Cheng Wuchou, a relatively well-known Nascent Soul cultivator, and Shaohua, a renowned poison doctor, were not qualified to sit at that table to discuss matters. It wasn't that anyone was trying to stop you, but everyone simply accepted that they were not qualified to sit at that table.
Tao Zi chose a table on the periphery and sat down, so she didn't miss any news from over there.
Yan Wenxuan brought He Yinggui over, and the ghost cultivators around him also followed.
He whispered, "I heard that some people in this ruins were eliminated as soon as they entered?"
She said calmly, "It seems so, but I'm not sure exactly."
Yan Wenxuan smiled and said, "Then I should be eliminated. Good. Let's sit back and watch the show. Yinggui, the stage is about to be set up. Do you want to go up and sing a few lines?"
He Yinggui frowned and said nothing.
The ghost cultivators smiled and shook their heads. One of them said, "Brother Yan has the same good attitude as always."
