Chapter 509 Preparation (I)
Yue Qingya couldn't help but smile, and the curve of his mouth was a little too big.
He glanced at his friend who had fallen asleep again on the ground, and finally suppressed his laughter. He said seriously, "Fellow Daoist Liu is not usually like this. He must have been confused by sleep."
He added, "I was chased so hard by the monsters before that I didn't get any sleep for too long."
Normally it wouldn't be a big problem for a cultivator not to sleep, but this time his spiritual power was overdrawn and he had to rest.
Seeing Yue Qingya's relaxed look, Tao Zi finally relaxed and said with a smile, "I can see that. By the way, are those fellow Taoists who followed you to save me okay?"
Yue Qingya frowned, her heart sank, and the smile on her face faded a lot.
“Nearly half of the people were killed, but everyone was prepared when they left.”
Tao Zi lowered her head slightly, and the shadow cast by the firelight swayed on her face.
Yue Qingya smiled again, patted her shoulder, and said, "Tao Zi, they are not doing this for you, but for the Dao in their hearts. What the Minglan Sect has done has long been resented by the people and angered by the gods. Your incident only gave them an opportunity to take action."
Among the independent cultivators who took action at that time, only a small number did so for Yue Qingya and Tao Zi, while the vast majority were cultivators who had secretly investigated the many tragic events of the Minglan Sect. They were filled with anger and could no longer stand idly by.
Even so, she still shook her head and said, "Don't comfort me. No matter what the reason is, they came to save me. I was saved because of them. By the way, did they build a tomb?"
"Since it has been established, when the Minglan Sect is defeated one day, I will go and pay my respects to them with this good news."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Okay. What about the remaining people? Have they been settled?"
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Cheng's Cheng family has already come to your aid."
She asked a few more questions and finally sat there in silence, deeply aware of how stupid she had been before. If it weren't for her brother to clean up the mess, several more people would have died in vain.
Yue Qingya immediately understood what she was thinking and added, "Your situation was special at the time, so it's normal that you couldn't consider these things. Don't always take things upon yourself."
Tao Zi said nothing more.
Yue Qingya sighed softly, patted her shoulder, and said, "I understand your thoughts. Look at me, I don't know how many people's opportunities I have taken away to achieve this level of cultivation. I feel guilty towards those cultivators and I feel guilty towards you, but I can't dwell on the guilt. What has happened cannot be undone. We can only look forward."
She nodded slowly and replied, "I understand all of this. Don't worry, I know how to handle this."
He stopped talking.
Some things you have to figure out yourself, no matter how much others say, it's useless.
Tao Zi quickly suppressed her thoughts and asked, "Have you received any news from Wang Xu?"
Yue Qingya was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. What happened?"
"The Sword Sect is ready to attack."
This time he was stunned for even longer, his expression becoming even more serious. He asked solemnly, "Are you going to attack me openly, or teach me a lesson secretly?"
"bright."
Yue Qingya laughed and said, "I've finally waited for this day. I'll go tell my fellow Taoists."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "I came to you for this matter."
He asked, "Do you have a plan in mind?"
"I hope that the cultivators on my side and the independent cultivators below the Jindan level on your side can join forces to fight the enemy, specifically targeting the Minglan Sect's hideouts outside."
Tao Zi knew very well that she and Yue Qingya could enter the Minglan Sect’s base camp to fight the enemy, but her subordinates could not. Once they participated in the decisive battle, they would most likely be cannon fodder.
Even if it was Xing Zhan, it would be difficult to escape from the hands of the Nascent Soul, not to mention that the Minglan Sect still had several Mahayana masters in charge.
Yue Qingya reacted immediately, his expression straightened, and he said, "I understand your thoughts. Don't worry, I will persuade them and try to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."
The independent cultivators are very brave, and those who dare to participate in the rescue of Tao Zi are even more fearless of their lives. If they are not properly arranged, something might really go wrong.
She said, "Okay, I'll leave this to you."
As she said this, she wanted to leave, but Yue Qingya stopped her: "We're already in the demon world, why don't you go see the little fox?"
Tao Zi said: "The little fox is not in the demon world."
He looked over in surprise, and she added, "I asked my brother before I came to the demon world to find you. It should be with Qingling now."
Yue Qingya finally understood and said, "Fellow Daoist Cheng has indeed placed quite a few people in the two worlds, so he is well-informed."
As for why, both of them tacitly agreed not to talk about it.
Not long after, Tao Zi appeared in front of Shao Hua according to the address given by her brother.
Shaohua was playing chess with Yu Niang in the house at this time.
When Yu Niang saw her, she showed surprise without disguising it. She smiled and bowed, saying, "Miss Tao, congratulations."
Shao Hua slowly placed a piece down and said, "You are indeed lucky."
Tao Zi bowed and said to them, "I haven't thanked you yet for staying in the demon world these days and helping me find Yue Shan's whereabouts."
"We haven't found the person, and we haven't found the body either. What's there to be thankful for?"
Tao Zi ignored Shao Hua's words and got to the point: "Shao Hua, have you received any news from the Chun Qiu Sect?"
Without even raising her eyelids, she urged Yu Niang to continue playing chess before saying, "I have long severed ties with the Chunqiu Sect. What could I possibly know?"
Tao Zi didn't believe this and said, "Shaohua, you can just say this to others, why bother telling me?"
Shao Hua saw that she didn't believe him, and his brows became more and more impatient. He threw the chess piece in his hand and said coldly: "Tao Zi, with your current ability, you can just go and cause trouble for me. There is no need to look for trouble."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Yu Niang tried to persuade him with a few words, but Shao Hua's expression did not improve.
Tao Zi sighed softly and said, "Shaohua, I mean no harm to you, but you'd better go back to Chunqiu Sect and take care of Xuanhuan. Don't let him act impulsively."
Shao Hua snorted coldly and said, "Because of you, he has acted impulsively many times."
When she answered, Tao Zi knew that she was concerned. She said no more and chatted with Yu Niang for a few more words before turning around and leaving.
It's not that she insisted on Shaohua's intervention, it's just that the leader of the Chunqiu Sect this generation is not very good, too mediocre. If the outstanding disciples of the previous generation of Chunqiu Sect had not died or rebelled, and he was the son of the previous generation of leader, it would not have been his turn to sit on the position of leader.
To put it bluntly, without Shaohua's intervention, the Chunqiu Sect might have made a foolish decision, which would have been bad if it had implicated Xuanhuan.
However, two days later, news came from the Sword Sect that when fighting against the Minglan Sect, the Sword Sect would be the main force, the One Thought Sect would be the auxiliary, the Nine Turns Sect would be the secret force, and the Spring and Autumn Sect and the Xujia Sect would not be involved in this matter (to be precise, the Sword Sect did not notify the Xujia Sect at all).
Ten days later, a manifesto was issued.
