Chapter 413: Remains of the Zhou General (25)
Midnight had passed, and Tao Zi and the others were beginning to feel exhausted. Monk Li said gravely, "The strength of these ghosts has increased significantly. If this continues, we're going to be in big trouble."
She remained calm and said, "We're not the only ones struggling. There's nothing to worry about. Keep looking for the bracelet."
Li Xiu finally couldn't help but said, "Sister Tao, why don't we leave first so as not to hold you back."
Tao Zi shook her head and said, "Wait."
Xi Jing said anxiously: "Senior Sister, it's best for us to leave."
She shook her head again and closed her eyes. Cheng Wuchou immediately knew what she was going to do.
After a while, her expression changed completely. Like a naughty child, she said, "Wow, there are so many delicious things around here."
Yan Wenxuan was startled and asked, "Is he possessed by a ghost?"
A ghost cultivator said: "She raised a ghost, and now her body is controlled by the little ghost she raised."
"This seems to cause great harm to the body." He said casually and no longer cared about this matter.
Tao Zi smiled and looked at the ghost cultivators. He sniffed hard and said with emotion, "You ate a lot of delicious ghosts. Are you happy?"
Those ghost cultivators became alert, but she stopped talking and ran to devour the ghosts not far away with a smile.
Looking at their senior sister's appearance, Xi Jing and the others silently moved closer to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu: "...Did you two find the wrong person?"
The two of them leaned closer to him. After all, he was the one who was most familiar with the place. Hua Seng was also a good person, but for some reason, they didn't feel as safe as Li Xiu.
Lu Shaobai hesitated for a moment and then moved over. After staying here for so long, he could see that Senior Brother Li had a lot of say in Yisan Sect.
Li Xiu looked at the three men and couldn't help but say, "Any one of you three can beat me to death. There's really no need to get close to me."
The three of them looked at the crazy "senior sister" and didn't want to move an inch.
He held his forehead weakly and stopped talking, thinking that these three people were protecting him.
Ever since Tao Zi was controlled by the little ghost, the evil ghost no longer attacked her. Instead, she attacked the evil ghost, which in disguise relieved the pressure.
As midnight was about to end, many taskers had left the ruins, leaving only a few monks to continue fighting the evil spirits and other taskers. The little ghost, after eating and drinking his fill, also returned control of his body to Tao Zi.
Tao Zi glanced at the corpses at her feet, twirling the increasingly bright red bracelet on her wrist, and said, "Time is running out, but I only have twenty-seven red bracelets on my hand, and the remaining fifty-four are in the hands of others."
Cheng Wuchou said: "Not necessarily. Under the pressure of the evil spirits, some taskers may give up the task or die, and their bracelets are likely in the hands of that old man."
She sighed and said, "Never mind. Anyway, Master Cheng is making good progress. He's got thirty-two of the eighty-one bracelets. But if this continues, I'm afraid someone will come looking for us."
He smiled and ruffled Tao Zi's hair, saying, "I'm not afraid of him. This is a good opportunity to counterattack."
Yan Wenxuan looked at the two of them as if he had seen a ghost and said, "Cheng Zhenjun, you and Daoist Fellow Tao have a really good relationship."
Cheng Wuchou was silent for a moment, then withdrew his hand and said calmly, "I don't know why, but seeing Ah Zi is like seeing a younger sister."
Not long after these words were spoken, Xu Qianjia and his men showed up as expected, and the cultivator standing next to him was wearing a black bracelet.
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "What does Master Xu want?"
Xu Qianjia waved his hand, and hundreds of small pieces of gravel spun in the air not far away. He said, "The opportunities of the ruins naturally depend on one's ability."
Monk Li took a step forward, but three monks in the Out-of-Body Stage stood up on the opposite side.
Tao Zi took a quick look and saw that one of them was from Zhufeng of Minglan Sect. She turned her head to look at Yan Wenxuan.
Yan Wenxuan transmitted a message: "Don't look at me. Zhu Feng won't betray us on this matter. It won't do them any good."
She felt somewhat regretful. During this period of time, she had sent many people to sow discord between the two peaks. However, Bamboo Peak and Main Peak were both rivals and one entity. It was still too difficult to completely separate them.
Suddenly, the situation became tense. The only thing to be thankful for was that the evil spirits smelled the breath of the four people in the out-of-body stage and stayed away from them. Only a few of them were ignorant and rushed over.
Li Xiu nervously pulled the three people behind him and said in a low voice, "If you find anything wrong, retreat immediately!"
Xi Jing and the others nodded nervously. Hua Seng adjusted his mask and lowered his voice, "What about me?"
He Yinggui glanced at him and sneered, "Monk, are you not very smart? In front of an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator, what's the difference between someone like you at the Spiritual Silence Stage and someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage?"
Xi Jing whispered, "You are only at the stage of heartbeat, how can you be qualified to talk about the flower monk."
He said unhappily, "Just because I'm smarter than him."
Tao Zi and the others felt helpless when they heard the noise coming from behind. The fight hadn't even started yet, but they were already fighting among themselves.
The Out-of-Body Stage elder from Zhufeng suddenly said, "Wenxuan, don't get involved in things you shouldn't be involved in."
What could Yan Wenxuan say? He naturally nodded and took the disciples of Chengyi Sect aside, saying, "Elder Chen, Fellow Daoist Tao and his group have helped us a lot. Your target is only Master Cheng. Can Xijing and other young cultivators step aside?"
Elder Chen glanced at Xi Jing and the other kids who posed no threat at all, and thought it was a courtesy to the Cheng family, so he nodded without even asking Xu Qianjia.
Yan Wenxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and signaled Li Xiu and the other brats to come over quickly.
Zhao Xue and the others first glanced at their senior sister, and when they saw her nod, they hurried over.
Although Xu Qianjia was somewhat displeased, he did not want to embarrass these children in front of everyone. That would only embarrass himself and ruin his image. So he vented his anger directly on Cheng Wuchou and the others: "Cheng Zhenjun, this is your last chance."
Cheng Wuchou just laughed. If it weren't for the sarcasm in his smile, everyone would have called him a gentle gentleman.
Lan Yongji looked at his condescending demeanor and was the first to say, "What are you, a casual cultivator, laughing at?"
He smiled and said, "Cheng just feels that you all seem to have forgotten something important."
Xu Qianjia suddenly felt something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Cheng Luo and Qiu Huanhuan, both masters, also have black bracelets."
The whole place was silent. Xu Qianjia said, "So what? The time is almost up. They are not here now."
"Who said we weren't here?" Cheng Luo laughed and jumped down from the roof, saying, "Master Xu, what a coincidence."
Xu Qianjia's expression suddenly turned cold. He smiled and continued, "Young Sect Master, since you are unlucky and didn't become a tasker, why don't you just withdraw? I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."
