Chapter 415: Remains of the Zhou General (27)
Xu Qianjia turned his gaze to Tao Zi with a very serious look, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This way, he was not the only one among the three sects who did not get the token, so it was not shameful.
Cheng Luo laughed and said, "Tao Zi, tell me, should I fight for it or not?"
Tao Zi's expression was a little subtle: "I think it's more important for us to save our lives first."
Everyone looked at her in confusion, but she stopped explaining and quickly handed over control of her body to the little ghost, and also passed a message to Cheng Wuchou.
Cheng Wuchou narrowed his eyes, glanced around, and said, "The aura of the evil spirits around here seems to be wrong."
The little ghost slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's not a little wrong, it's absolutely right."
Yan Wenxuan's right eye twitched, and he said, "What do you mean? Explain clearly."
She smiled slyly, her tone teasing, "Have you forgotten that the ghosts here have three thousand years of cultivation?"
At this moment, all the monks in the city felt an almost terrifying aura, and there were more than ten auras of evil spirits at the peak of the Out-of-Body Stage.
Lan Yongji's face suddenly turned pale. Looking at the relaxed "Tao Zi", he angrily said, "What's with that tone of voice?"
Tao Zi laughed, not trying to hide her gloating. "For three thousand years, they've lived off ghosts and are tired of them. Naturally, I'm not afraid."
Cheng Wuchou took a deep breath and said, "Let's go find Wangxu."
Jiu Qingling said, "I'll go with you. Xu Qianjia, do you want to go?"
Xu Qianjia looked uncertain, but he answered without hesitation: "Of course."
At this time, as the young master of Minglan Sect, he absolutely cannot leave early, and must at least wait until the end of the hour of Chou.
Jiu Qingling wanted to laugh when she heard this answer. She had to admit that this person still cared about these false reputations as always. However, she held back in the end, and everyone rushed towards the yellow light together.
Wangxu had the same idea as them and also rushed towards them.
Soon after, the two groups successfully reunited.
Wang Xu was followed by disciples of the Tiandao Sect, Tao Zi and Cheng Wuchou were followed by disciples of three sects from the same sect. For a while, only the Yinian Sect was missing.
The senior brother from the Tiandao Sect also noticed this and asked, "Where is the fellow from the Yi Nian Sect?"
No one knows, so naturally no one answers.
Tao Zi looked lazy and at ease, and simply said, "Aren't you guys going to run away?"
When the senior brother from Tiandao Sect saw that something was wrong with her, his expression became stern. Fortunately, Cheng Wuchou explained the situation in time, otherwise a fight would have broken out.
Lan Yongji said sarcastically, "Don't you care that you've lost your token?"
Xu Qianjia glared at his junior brother and apologized, "Yongji was in a bad mood and his words were a little confused."
Hearing his senior brother say this, he hummed softly and said no more.
Wangxu glanced at him. Ever since Yue Qiran's death, this man's words and deeds began to change. If he used to be as cold and aloof as the snow on the mountain, now he inexplicably exuded an air of superiority and looked down on everyone. It was probably because he was less restrained.
The senior brother smiled slightly and said, "No problem. Opportunities are predetermined by heaven. The opportunity to obtain General Zhou's ruins is destined to be beyond my reach."
Lan Yongji was somewhat disdainful, thinking that he was using the laws of nature to save face. Only Wang Xu knew that what he said was true.
Along the way, they hardly met anyone holding a red bracelet, and even if they did, they rarely got it. This time, their failure was definitely not due to their strength, but because they had no chance.
Not long after, fellow Taoists from Yi Nian Men also rushed over, looking very solemn.
The out-of-body elders from various sects stood on the periphery, protecting everyone tightly.
Wang Xu said in a deep voice, "Everyone, if the evil spirits in these ruins are allowed to escape, it will have a huge impact on the entire continent. Therefore, this is not a matter of one person's chance, but a major event for the entire cultivation world."
The Tiandao Sect's senior brother also responded seriously: "Young Master Wang is right."
Cheng Wuchou understood their implication and asked directly, "You want to give the token to the most powerful person?"
Tao Zi narrowed her eyes, sneered, and said, "This is Tao Zi's opportunity. You want to snatch it away? Dream on!"
Xu Qianjia said calmly, "This is a major event for the entire cultivation world."
She sneered and retorted: "What does it have to do with me? I'm just a little kid."
Before Xu Qianjia could continue speaking, a disciple of Yi Nian Men said, "This trip will probably require someone with a predestined relationship to come along."
These words were clearly spoken for Tao Zi, Cheng Wuchou and Wang Xu, three people who were destined to be together.
The Tiandao Sect disciple asked in confusion, "Did Daoist friend discover anything?"
The Yi Nian Sect disciple continued, "May I ask if this senior brother originally intended to hand the token over to a senior who has reached the Out-of-Body Stage?"
Senior Brother Tiandaozong nodded and said, "Indeed."
The disciple shook his head and said, "No, in this ruins, there's probably not much difference between the Out-of-Body Stage, the Nascent Soul Stage, and the Golden Core Stage. It's better to gamble."
Everyone looked over in confusion. The disciple sighed and said, "We went to investigate near the General's Mansion, but at the moment of the first hour, we discovered the aura of a Mahayana cultivator and... the aura of a Half-Step Divine Transformation cultivator."
The whole place fell into deathly silence.
He added, "Don't panic, everyone. Since General Zhou has led us here, there must be a solution, and that solution must be on that token."
The Tiandao Sect's senior brother concentrated on thinking for a moment and said, "If that's the case, then it doesn't matter whether the person holding the token is a senior in the Out-of-Body Stage or the Young Master Wang and the others. Fellow Daoists Tao and Cheng, you two can decide for yourself whether to take this risk and carry out the mission."
Cheng Wuchou said: "There is no reason not to proceed."
Tao Zi didn't answer for a long time, but rolled her eyes. Everyone realized belatedly that she was no longer herself.
As time passed, more and more monks chose to leave the ruins.
Seeing that it was none of her business, the little ghost handed over control of her body again.
When she opened her eyes again, Tao Zi felt a slight headache, probably because she had given up control too frequently.
Cheng Wuchou frowned when he saw his sister's condition, but he couldn't show concern for her in public, so he could only ask irritably, "Are we going to stay here forever?"
Wang Xu said: "I know this is passive, but there is nothing I can do."
Tao Zi looked at Xi Jing and the others and said, "Xi Jing, you guys should leave first to avoid any accidents."
Xi Jing and the others nodded without hesitation, and Yan Wenxuan and his group retreated as well.
Wangxu glanced around, then looked at Xu Qianjia and the others, and said, "Young Sect Master Xu, you are neither missionaries nor cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage, so it is best to withdraw as soon as possible. No one is sure whether that Half-step Divine Transformation cultivator will block the passage out of the ruins."
Xu Qianjia's expression remained unchanged, but he was feeling rather annoyed. He had said this deliberately, and those who didn't know him might have thought he was a coward. Little did they know, he was giving him face. After all, among the cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage present, Jiu Qingling, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, was the strongest in terms of strength, and he, the Young Master of the Minglan Sect, was the highest in terms of status. He was saying this to encourage him to take the lead.
After all, he still lacks the strength, and any casual words from others are taken as looking down on him.
