Chapter 453: Black and White Reversed
The next morning, Wangxu and others left with injuries and did not stay any longer.
Xu Chengcheng looked at their departing figures and asked in confusion, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
Tao Zi stood against the wall, but her eyes were looking elsewhere. She said, "Someone is coming."
Li Xiu, who had always depended on the little fox, was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Where are the wounded? Quick, move them all out to bask in the sun!"
Xu Chengcheng didn't react and said blankly: "It seems to be cloudy today, where is the sun?"
Zhou Qiandan was quick to react. He rolled up his sleeves and asked the physical trainers to drag the wounded out. He also ruffled their clothes to make them look more pitiful.
Not long after, Xing Wen and He Feicheng appeared in front of her with a group of people, each of them looked miserable.
Tao Zi's eyelids twitched. Why did she remember that these people were not so embarrassed when they left?
He Feicheng's eyes welled up with tears when he saw her. He asked, "Senior Sister Tao, we rushed here as soon as we received the news from you. Are you okay?"
She coughed lightly twice and waved her hand. Zhou Qiandan rushed over to support her and said worriedly, "Senior Sister, you haven't fully recovered yet. Don't stand for too long."
After some struggle, they sat down on the chairs, and Tao Zi finally spoke: "Two fellow Daoists, what on earth is going on? We were searching for someone, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and many cultivators rushed out to attack us. They all looked energetic. Didn't they say that those who were slaughtered were seriously injured?"
He Feicheng and Xing Wen exchanged a glance, tacitly avoiding the topic. They only said vaguely, "We were deceived. We can't go into details about the specific circumstances, but don't worry, Senior Sister Tao, we will definitely compensate Yisan Sect for the losses they suffered."
Her face was full of confusion, but she didn't dare to ask too much.
Xing Wen looked at her and added, "Are there any special features of those monks?"
Tao Zi thought about it and said angrily, "It looks a bit strange, but it's very powerful. Look at what it did to our sect's disciples!"
A few people turned their heads and saw the injured people who were beaten half to death by Xu Chengcheng and Zhou Qiandan because of an internal fight and snatching things. They were sitting against the wall, wailing more miserably than each other.
Xing Wen was silent for a moment. The screaming was obviously not that loud before he turned his head. Was it an illusion?
Tao Zi attracted their attention and said, "By the way, when are we going back? We can't afford to delay the return of the injured monks here any longer."
Xing Wen smiled and said, "I'll be back soon, don't worry, Senior Sister Tao."
At this time, Xing Wen and the others suddenly received the news and left for a while. When they came back, they changed their minds and said, "Senior Sister Tao, you go back first. We still have some things to deal with here."
Tao Zi agreed with a smile and watched them leave.
Li Xiu came out of the house and asked, "Should we send someone to follow and check the situation?"
She shook her head: "No, I absolutely cannot get involved in this matter at this time."
There are too many things involved here, and it would be best if the small Yisan Sect knew nothing about it.
With this idea in mind, Tao Zi hurried back to Yisanmen.
Xi Jing was extremely anxious. When she saw her come back, she rushed over and looked her up and down: "Senior Sister, are you okay?"
She rubbed her hair and smiled: "It's okay, don't worry."
Xi Jing was extremely upset: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been greedy for those few spirit stones, this wouldn't have happened."
Tao Zi soothed her, "It has nothing to do with you. Whether I have those spirit stones or not, I will make this journey."
She pinched her sleeves in frustration and finally made a decision: "Sister, wait a minute. I'm going to make a cake now. If it turns out well, I'll bring it over to you to calm you down."
Han Yueshan's originally worried expression immediately changed: "You're going to use my life to calm Senior Sister down?"
Xi Jing walked towards the kitchen with an expressionless face, completely ignoring her senior brother's attempts to stop her.
Tao Zi and the others started laughing, and the originally heavy atmosphere was almost gone.
I originally thought that I could have a good rest for a while and then inquire about the news from Minglan Sect, but I never expected that He Feicheng would come to Yisan Sect that night.
Tao Zi was just about to go to bed, but when she heard the news, she got up and went out.
He Feicheng stood in the small courtyard, wrapped up tightly from head to toe, his original appearance could not be seen at all.
Xu Chengcheng and Zhou Qiandan brought the monks to surround him, and he stood there, silent.
Tao Zi came out and said, "Everyone is gone, come in."
He bowed deeply and walked inside.
After closing the door, Tao Zi cast a soundproofing spell before asking, "What's wrong?"
He Feicheng took off his cloak and said solemnly, "Qinglan Tianzun wants to define the incident of that sect as a massacre, and he wants to hunt down the people who massacred the sect."
She sat on the chair, not surprised by the result, and said, "Is this a small matter worth the risk of rushing here?"
He continued in a low voice, "Beside the Young Sect Master is a Nascent Soul named Old Xu. He secretly captured two survivors from that sect, subjected one to soul-searching, and handed the other over for interrogation. He discovered... discovered that those people were demonic cultivators. When the massacre began, the powerful figures in that sect were all guiding their disciples into demonic possession, which is why they didn't have time to resist."
Tao Zi looked at him steadily: "Then?"
Seeing that she still didn't understand, He Feicheng became anxious and said, "Qinglan Tianzun also sent people to search the soul of another cultivator at that time, so he must know about this. As a Taoist Tianzun, he protects demonic cultivators and even orders people to hunt down those who are truly righteous. How can this be tolerated?"
She smiled and said, "Feicheng, besides you, does anyone else know?"
He looked at Tao Zi's indifferent expression, and a terrible thought emerged from the depths of his heart. Could it be that what happened back then was not just a frame-up?
Tao Zi asked again: "Fei Cheng?"
He regained his composure, thought carefully, and lowered his voice: "There are some confidants around Xu Qianjia, but no others."
Tao Zi asked again: "Does Qinglan know that you know about this?"
He Feicheng was stunned for a moment, a cold sweat suddenly breaking out on his back. He said, "She probably doesn't know. This matter was reported by Lian Qingzhou and that cultivator, and she herself didn't know that Old Xu had been there, let alone that Xu Qianjia knew about it."
"Then how did you know this?"
He replied, "I have a cultivator under my command named Xu Zhiruo, and he has a good friend who is a disciple of Xu Qianjia's trusted confidant."
Tao Zi took a sip of tea and instructed, "From now on, it doesn't matter who knows, but you must remain in the dark. Do you understand?"
At the same time, Xu Qianjia also said similar words to his confidant.
He Feicheng answered yes immediately, with layers of sweat already covering his body.
After He Feicheng left, the little fox in the room said lazily: "Even a spy knows not to cooperate with the devil. This Tianzun...tsk."
Tao Zi closed her eyes and rested.
