Chapter 497: Sword Sect Ancestor
Jianzong's internal council hall
The leader of the Sword Sect sat in the main seat, and the other elders sat in order. Wang Xu stood in the center of the hall, and next to him was Qian Xuanhua of the Yi Nian Sect.
After explaining their purpose, an elder looked at them with a strange expression: "You mean to ask the Sword Sect to give up the Emperor's Daughter's Relics? What's your reason?"
Wang Xu took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the Sect Master and all the elders, Heaven's tolerance towards the Minglan Sect began with Tao Zi, but the reason has not yet been ascertained. According to reliable information, the Imperial Daughter's Ruins can solve this mystery. Therefore, I request that the sect assist Tao Zi in entering the Imperial Daughter's Ruins to search for the truth."
Another elder asked, "Why should we believe empty words?"
Wangxu did not respond, but looked at the sect leader.
The Sect Master said, "The One Thought Sect has already passed on the news a few days ago. After verification, it is confirmed that the Heavenly Dao's tolerance for the Ming Lan Sect has indeed disappeared, but the reason has not yet been confirmed. As for the remains of the Emperor's daughter, it is hard to say."
Qian Xuanhua then cupped his hands and said with a smile, "May I allow this junior to speak?"
An elder with a more irritable temper said, "No one is stopping you from talking."
His expression was particularly solemn. He said, "I have discussed this matter with Tao Zi before. We both know that it is unfounded and difficult to gain your trust. However, there is one thing we have complete evidence for, and we just need the Sword Sect to investigate it themselves."
The clan leader nodded and said, "Just tell me what you want."
Qian Xuanhua said word by word: "Lian Qingzhou is not Lian Qingzhou, she is just an alien who has taken over someone else's body."
There was silence in the lobby.
The Great Elder gripped the armrest of his chair tightly and said coldly, "Do you understand what this means?"
"I understand, but so what." Qian Xuanhua's eyes were bright. "I have the audacity to ask the Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killing to investigate the origins of Qinglan and his disciples!"
"Although he is small, he is very brave." An old voice sounded.
The clan leader and the elders' expressions changed. They stood up and said respectfully, "Grandmaster."
A white-haired old man walked into the hall. He had no aura of power. If he had met him outside the Sword Sect, Qian Xuanhua would have thought that he was just an ordinary old man.
Before the Sword Sect leader could say anything, he saw Tao Zi behind the old man.
The clan leader was unsure of what was going on and asked in confusion, "Ancestor, what is this?"
The old ancestor smiled and stroked his nearly fading white beard, saying, "I was free, so I came out of seclusion to see you guys. I happened to see a girl in the courtyard of your favorite disciple. It's a rare sight."
Wangxu's eyes drifted for a moment, then returned to normal.
Tao Zi stood there nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened.
The clan leader replied without changing his expression, "This is Xiaoxu's good friend, and he's here as a guest."
The old ancestor smiled and did not respond. He only looked at Qian Xuanhua and said, "This little disciple looks familiar."
"My junior master is a Buddhist monk. I once saw the Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killing when I was young."
The old ancestor thought about it and formed an impression. He said, "It's you. You have the same character as Buddha. You dare to say anything."
Qian Xuanhua lowered his head respectfully and said nothing.
The Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killing has always been good at stopping killing with killing. Thousands of years ago, he was also regarded as a killing god. He used a sword to bring the Sword Sect to the top of the three sects. Most of the swords on Jianshan are his achievements.
When it was at its most powerful, even the one from the Tiandao Sect had to avoid it.
The old ancestor randomly picked an empty seat and sat down, waving his hand and saying, "All of you sit down. Don't be so nervous. Just looking at me makes me angry."
The sect leader changed his seat and the other elders sat down one after another. For a moment, only Tao Zi, Wang Xu and Qian Xuanhua were left standing in the hall.
The old ancestor looked at Tao Zi and said, "You've been with your master for such a long time, and you still don't know his origins?"
Tao Zi was not surprised that Zhisha Tianzun knew her identity. She just said, "I am ignorant and I really don't know."
"It's not that you're stupid, I don't know either." He shook his head and said, "But after several calculations, they are all human."
The others were not surprised. Qian Xuanhua boldly asked, "May I ask, ancestor, who is Lian Qingzhou?"
The ancestor asked, "Whose child is this?"
The sect leader replied, "During your retreat, Qinglan Tianzun accepted him as his last disciple."
He nodded casually and said, "Go check this person yourselves."
Tao Zi heaved a sigh of relief. Although it seemed that the Lord of Stopping Killing didn't care, he actually did care.
The Sect Master agreed and looked at Qian Xuanhua and the other two, saying, "We'll discuss the Imperial Daughter's remains after we've concluded the matter of Lian Qingzhou."
The three of them agreed.
After leaving the hall, Wang Xu said, "Xing Zhan and his men are living in Jiancheng. Do you want to see them?"
Tao Zi was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's not the time yet."
Wang Xu asked back, "Isn't it the right time?"
Qian Xuanhua gave a hint: "Fellow Daoist Tao's emotions are not stable yet and he is easily irritated."
He stopped talking, and Tao Zi asked a few more questions: "Is it safe?"
Wang Xu nodded and said, "I have prepared human skin masks and identification cards for them, and there are people guarding them in secret."
Tao Zi thanked him in a deep voice: "Thank you very much."
"No need." Wang Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "You should know why the Sword Sect tolerated the Ming Lan Sect back then, but there is one more thing I don't know whether I should tell you."
She said, "Just say it."
"Brother Yue got the news from somewhere, saying that his luck is... Anyway, he hasn't been in good shape since he received the news. He suddenly left the Sword Sect not long ago, and no one knows where he went."
Wang Xu hesitated to speak. Tao Zi was silent for a moment and said, "I know about this. Please let him take his time."
"OK."
After arriving at the temporary house arranged by the Sword Sect, the senior came out and said with emotion: "Yue Qingya is quite straightforward. He dares to talk about such things."
"For him, delusion is trustworthy."
The senior asked, "Do you think he can recover?"
Tao Zi said without hesitation: "Okay, the fault lies with the way of heaven. He can see it clearly, but he will also bear the responsibility he should bear."
"That's true. How could the cultivator that Wusha likes be bad?"
Three days later, Wang Xu strode into the courtyard, his expression unable to conceal his excitement: "The results are in, Lian Qingzhou is indeed an alien race."
Tao Zi wasn't surprised at all, and even had the leisure to smile and ask, "What does the Sect Master think of the Imperial Daughter's Relics?"
He restrained his expression and said solemnly, "The Sect Master has ordered that the Sword Sect will do its utmost to stop the Minglan Sect and the alien races. Based on this, opportunities will depend on each person's ability."
At the same time, except for the Tiandao Sect and Xujia Sect, which no one had notified, the other three sects all sent news. After entering the ruins, they tried their best to stop the Minglan Sect and the alien races.
She was not surprised by the result and said with a smile, "Thank you all for your help."
Tao Zi found the news boring.
As soon as Wangxu left, she put away the smile on her face and went back into the house.
The senior realized something was wrong and appeared to look at her, saying, "Isn't this bad? Although they didn't say they were giving up the opportunity, it's the same as giving up the opportunity."
She tapped the table and said nonchalantly, "They are indeed thinking about the overall situation. I underestimated them in the past."
The senior asked again: "Isn't this good?"
"But the overall situation is not on my side. It's really a headache."
