Chapter 447: Rescue
Tao Zi and his group quickly set off for that sect.
She stood at the bow, Xu Chengcheng beside her, and whispered, "Senior Sister, we are a bit far away from Minglan Sect. Do we need to speed up?"
She nodded and reminded him, "Don't get too close."
Xu Chengcheng agreed: "Chengcheng understands."
This time, the young master of Minglan Sect and Lian Qingzhou both tacitly chose to send their capable disciples - He Feicheng and Xing Wen, and did not go themselves.
Yue Qingya walked out of the cabin and whispered, "Azi, be careful. The massacre of our sect is a serious matter, but not much news has been spread. There must be something strange going on."
Tao Zi nodded calmly and said, "We'll see the outcome once we reach that sect."
Two days later, they came to an icy place. Looking around, there was no mortal being there.
Tao Zi raised her hand, and the spirit ship stopped flying forward. The Minglan Sect's spirit ship also sensed something was wrong and stayed in mid-air.
Soon, Xing Wen and He Feicheng appeared in their sight. Tao Zi made a gesture and the spirit ship landed on the ground.
She asked in a deep voice, "Which small sect would be located in such an uninhabited place?"
Small sects need resources, mortals, and various offerings. It is impossible for them to choose to build a sect in an uninhabited place. However, it is possible for a powerful sect.
He Feicheng's face turned pale: "I have never been to this sect. Everything I do is according to the instructions of that sect."
She asked directly to the point: "Where is the person from that sect who asked for help? Where is he?"
Xing Wen waved his hand and someone pushed the man over.
He was a monk who looked very honest and had clear eyes, and he didn't look like someone who would lie.
Tao Zi questioned him and the man answered everything he could.
Yue Qingya frowned slightly and said, "You mean there are still mortals further in?"
The man nodded and said sadly, "Yes, but those mortals were killed."
Everyone was half-believing and half-doubting. Tao Zi lowered his eyes and thought for a long time before saying, "I believe what this person said. What do you two think?"
He Feicheng nodded without hesitation and said, "Senior Sister Tao is stronger than me, so I naturally trust her judgment."
Xing Wen considered for a long time before agreeing.
The group continued to walk inside.
Not long after, they arrived at a town that was full of corpses, with only a few surviving monks standing around.
Tao Zi did not move first, but waited until Xing Wen and the other two went down before following them.
When the cultivators saw them coming, they were all overjoyed and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist Minglan Sect member!"
Xing Wen took a step forward and said calmly, "Don't be so polite. What's the situation now?"
The man immediately spoke up, "The thieves are seriously injured, but we can't find them. We can only form a circle to prevent them from escaping."
As soon as Tao Zi and the others heard this, they knew that it wasn't that they couldn't find it, but that they clearly didn't dare to find it.
She winked at He Feicheng, who immediately stepped forward and said, "In that case, let's go find those thieves first."
That person should be grateful.
The three of them each led their people in three different directions.
The little ghost's voice suddenly rang out: "Tao Zi, do you feel that there is something wrong with these people?"
Tao Zi hummed softly. It was not just that something was wrong, she felt uncomfortable the moment she met them, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.
Yue Qingya followed closely beside her, looking alert, and said, "Azi, we'd better be careful. Something's not right about this place."
As a son of luck, his intuition is always very accurate.
The monks of Yisan Sect were extremely alert and even walked much more lightly. The group passed by like ghosts, without making any sound at all.
Suddenly, Tao Zi raised her hand and everyone stopped.
She stared at a corner and said, "Master Yue and I will form a team of two, and you three will form a team. Spread out and search for the thief."
Xu Chengcheng was the first to realize something was wrong, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he took the initiative to take people away from the place.
Yue Qingya asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Tao Zi no longer concealed her gaze and said, "There is a familiar aura there."
In the past two years, her application of her spiritual sense has become much stronger, and her perception is far beyond Yue Qingya's reach.
Therefore, Yue Qingya also believed this sentence.
The two of them went forward one after the other to check, but found that there was no one there.
Doubt flashed in Yue Qingya's eyes. Tao Zi's eyes sharpened, and a small knife condensed from his spiritual consciousness appeared in his hand. He raised his hand and stabbed, and a cultivator covered in blood appeared in front of them.
Tao Zi stepped forward and brushed away the hair that was scattered on his face. Her fingers fell to the edge of his face, fumbled for a few seconds, and tore off a human skin mask.
The man seemed to sense something, and his fingers moved slightly, his spiritual power surged, and he was about to self-destruct.
Fortunately, Tao Zi spoke in time to comfort him: "It's me, Tao Zi."
The person was confused for a moment, but did not stop. She added: "Yue Qingya is here too."
In an instant, spiritual power returned to normal.
Yue Qingya asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"
The man was no longer able to utter a single word. Tao Zi sighed softly and answered for him, "A disciple of the Sword Sect, he placed first in the Spiritual Silence Stage in the last sect competition."
He suddenly became serious and asked, "Where is your young master?"
The man shook his head with difficulty. Tao Zi fed him a few spiritual herbs. He barely regained some strength and said, "This place is strange. Please be careful."
Tao Zi left several medicinal herbs and quickly notified Li Xiu and the others to come as soon as possible. Then she said gently, "It's okay. We will take care of it. You can rest well first."
He nodded silently, took out the few spiritual weapons and talismans he had, and handed them to them.
Tao Zi didn't take it, but instead left behind a few self-defense weapons.
When leaving, Tao Zi reset the illusion to ensure the safety of this place.
Yue Qingya said solemnly: "There is indeed a problem here."
She lowered her eyes and said, "Qingya, do you still remember a small town?"
"What?"
Tao Zi glanced around and said word by word, "Corpse Demon Town."
Yue Qingya suddenly felt creepy.
She sent a message to all the disciples of Yisan Sect, asking them to gather immediately and not act alone. Those who disobeyed would be killed.
The disciples who had just left were completely bewildered, and some even thought that Tao Zi was ill. He asked them to disperse and then reunite, changing his orders every day. It was nothing more than that.
But no one dared to object, and the movement to reunite was even faster. You know, even if someone wanted to leave the sect secretly, the most they would do was to be crippled, and there had never been a precedent of being killed. But this time this order was given, so something must be going on.
After being a casual cultivator for so many years, he is still pretty good at cherishing his life.
Soon, all those people gathered together.
Tao Zi looked at them and asked, "Are there any lone actors?"
Everyone shook their heads.
She moved her fingers, and a very faint spiritual consciousness line was tied to everyone's wrist.
