Chapter 412: Remains of the Zhou General (24)
Xu Qianjia smiled slightly and began to persuade: "Fellow Daoist Tao, you can't defeat the Sword Sect and the Heavenly Dao Sect with your strength alone. Only by cooperating with me can you get the best opportunity."
She twirled her bracelet, her smile widening as she asked, "So what's the content of the collaboration?"
He turned his gaze towards Cheng Wuchou, or more accurately, towards the black bracelet on his hand, and said, "We will help Master Cheng become the initial token holder, and then Master Cheng will transfer the token to me. In the process, we will also help the Yisan Sect obtain more red and yellow bracelets. This way, your opportunities will naturally increase."
Her tone was gentle and her words were considerate, and it was impossible to tell that she had offended the main peak. If outsiders heard it, they would probably praise Master Xu for his good character.
Lan Yongji added, "In case you refuse to cooperate, please swallow a pill. This pill won't kill you, but it will make it difficult for you to circulate your spiritual energy for a certain period of time. Of course, according to the terms of the cooperation, you will all have left the ruins by then."
Tao Zi almost wanted to sneer when he heard these words. The reason they targeted Cheng Wuchou was simply because his bracelet was black, while Wangxu and the Tiandao Sect leader's bracelets were yellow and red respectively. He didn't have the confidence to fight those two, and he didn't intend to fight at all, so he set his sights on the black bracelet. As for the elixir...
The smile on her lips became gentler: "Can I take a look at the pill?"
Lan Yongji showed her the pill with ease. She recognized it at a glance. Its effect was indeed as Lan Yongji said, but its side effects were particularly terrifying - the spiritual energy would circulate slowly within a month. A month was enough for them to do a lot of things. It was better to be safe than sorry. This medicine must not be taken.
Tao Zi's eyebrows curved as she smiled, "Master Xu, this cooperation is indeed excellent, but Master Cheng is extremely powerful, and I can't be his master. How about this: I can exchange it for the red bracelet on my hand or the yellow bracelet on Doctor Li?"
Xu Qianjia couldn't deny it, his eyes fell on Xi Jing's hand.
Xi Jing looked at the bracelet, took it off without saying a word, and put it on Cheng Wuchou's wrist: "I'm timid, so I won't get involved in this matter. You can discuss it among yourselves."
There was a sob in his voice, and it was clear from the moment he heard it that he was extremely scared. Zhao Xue hurriedly protected his junior sister behind him, blocking the sight of Lan Yongji and the others, and said, "If Minglan Sect insists, we, Yisan Sect, can't stop it. Why not give you the yellow bracelet on my hand."
Watching this scene, the flower monk silently took off the bracelet and stuffed it into Cheng Wuchou's hand, saying, "Amitabha, this opportunity to visit the ruins is destined to have nothing to do with me."
The disciple from Chengyi Sect also quietly took off the black bracelet and secretly stuffed it over.
Xu Qianjia was stunned and couldn't stop them. No matter how good his expression control was, it was useless at this moment. Fortunately, he was still able to endure it. He quickly adjusted his expression and said calmly: "Forget it, since you have no sincerity, there is no need to cooperate."
Tao Zi put on a shocked expression and said, "Master Xu, I am sincere. It's just that I can't make the decision on Master Cheng's matter."
Lan Yongji looked surprised and asked, "Are we pretending we didn't see what you just did?"
Yan Wenxuan stepped forward, smiled bitterly, and cupped his hands, saying with a helpless expression, "Master Qingqin, it's not that we're disrespectful, but Master Cheng has already made his ambitions clear, and we really don't dare... Young Master Xu, you always understand the difficulties of your subordinates. We're really on both sides... Alas."
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "Master Xu, we have already agreed that their black bracelets are all mine. If you want them, you should talk to me. Why make things difficult for them?"
Xu Qianjia said a few words indifferently, then turned and left.
After he walked away, the smile on Tao Zi's face immediately disappeared, and Xi Jing, who had been crying softly, also stuck her head out, without even a tear in her eyes.
Yan Wenxuan put away his bitter smile and said with sarcasm: "Xu Qianjia is becoming more and more timid."
She added nonchalantly, "There's nothing we can do. The Minglan Sect is increasingly unwilling to listen to him, the young sect leader. He has to be very timid to stop it."
As soon as these words came out, Yan Wenxuan looked at her with a strange look and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao, the tone you used when you said that just now is a little familiar. It sounds a lot like a mentally retarded friend of mine."
Li Xiu's mouth twitched viciously and her eyes drifted elsewhere.
Tao Zi's expression remained unchanged, and she was still joking: "Really? Then your stupid friend is really miserable, having a friend like you who complains about her behind her back."
Yan Wenxuan said disapprovingly, "It's okay. She's already dead, and her body is probably even more damaged than her brain."
Li Xiu's eyes became even more wandering. Cheng Wuchou, who was standing beside her, slowly patted the corner of his clothes and looked at his sister with a smile. What kind of friends are these?
She acted as if nothing had happened, and killed an evil ghost that was about to attack. She said with a smile, "Let's go. The time of li is not far away. By that time, the evil ghosts will be rampant again."
Li Xiu suddenly raised a question: "What will happen to the bracelet if the tasker is killed by someone other than the tasker?"
Tao Zi smiled and said, "We'll know after we try it."
Cheng Wuchou asked, "Who are you looking for?"
She thought about it, but before she could speak, Yan Wenxuan smiled and mentioned the name of a sect, and said, "Let me do it."
Cheng Wuchou said regretfully: "It's a pity that no one in Minglan Sect has the bracelet, otherwise we could touch them directly."
Lu Shaobai on the side pretended to be deaf and went looking for those weak ghosts with his senior brother and sister Zhao Xue, and continued to fight each other.
He Yinggui suddenly said, "What do you think? Has the Minglan Sect's luck run out? They can't even send out a single tasker."
Silence fell all around until Yan Wenxuan sneered, "Come on, if she were here, even without a tasker, she would risk her life to snatch a token. Xu Qianjia has the heart, but not the courage."
It was even quieter all around.
Li Xiu was silent for a moment, then decided to play dumb and cooperate with Yan Wenxuan, then asked, "Who is she?"
He snorted and said, "A fool with a serious brain disease."
Li Xiu: ...
Not long after, Yan Wenxuan killed the person he wanted to kill, and the bracelet disappeared without a trace. No one knew where it went.
Everyone knew what was going on.
On the following journey, Tao Zi first helped Xi Jing, Hua Seng and the disciple of Chengyi Sect to snatch the bracelets, and then focused on finding the red and black bracelets - she and her brother had to keep at least one, and if that didn't work, they would just rob them.
As for the yellow bracelet, they really don't have any that can support it.
As midnight arrived, time became increasingly urgent. Monk Li not only had to help snatch the bracelet, but also had to protect Xi Jing and others. If it were not for the last chance, Li Xiu really wanted to withdraw and not hold them back.
