Chapter 510 Preparation (Part 2)
When they received the news, Cheng Wuchou was brewing wine in a temporary courtyard, and Tao Zi was practicing. It was a peaceful time.
After Tao Zi finished practicing, he smiled and joked, "It's rare that brother doesn't make tea."
Cheng Wuchou laughed dumbly and handed over a glass of water beside him: "Brother, I like to drink tea, but I don't drink only tea. Have you read the news from the Sword Sect?"
"I've seen it." Tao Zi paused, then said, "How's it going on the sir's side?"
He said, "Sir, you don't intend to interfere, nor do you intend to let Xu Jiamen know about it."
Tao Zi looked at him in surprise. These words made clear the relationship between Xu Jiamen and Mr.
Cheng Wuchou smiled and said, "There are too many dirty things in Xujia Sect. This is a good opportunity to clean up some of them. Luo Di has been called back, so he will be busy later."
She was even more surprised: "Starting to clean up? Why so suddenly?"
He carefully and patiently buried the wine under the tree and said, "The master said that in some mysterious way, the time has come."
Tao Zi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yu Niang would be very happy if she knew."
Cheng Wuchou dusted off his hands, patted her head with a smile, and said, "It's not just about Yu Niang, there are traces of them in the Demon Palace and Lian Qingzhou as well."
She remembered the voice talking to Lian Qingzhou in Xulan Palace, and thought it was someone from Xujia Sect.
Two days later, Xing Zhan sent a message: everyone is here.
When Tao Zi arrived at the gathering place, there were already quite a few people standing there in an orderly manner. Among them, a group of people were particularly eye-catching because they all had their right arms broken.
It turned out to be them.
She suddenly realized.
When they saw Tao Zi, their eyes lit up and they shouted in unison, "Big Sister!"
Tao Zi's eyes softened, she responded to them, walked to the front of the crowd, and looked at them carefully again.
Looking back, this was the first time she had officially met them since the accident.
Many familiar faces have long disappeared, and there are also many new faces.
"Everyone, long time no see."
Tao Zi suppressed the bitterness in her heart, bowed solemnly, and said, "Senior Sister knows that you have suffered a lot of injustices because of me recently. I have gathered you together today for one thing only: counterattack!"
As soon as the words fell, Wu Yue was the first to lose control and said, "Senior Sister, this was done by those heartless idiots. Why are you bringing this upon me?"
Tao Zi shook her head: "After all, it's because you guys are unwilling to give up on me, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this."
The man with a broken arm below looked serious and said, "Senior Sister, please don't say such things. We are not that ungrateful traitor Xing Li."
Thinking of Xing Li, she sighed softly in her heart and said, "Senior Sister understands."
Tao Zi waved his hand, and a list appeared in his palm. He said, "Of the ten strongholds of Minglan Sect, at least five were captured by us. Now, what we have to do is take them back."
A physical cultivator stepped forward and said, "Senior Sister, aren't we going to attack the main peak of Minglan Sect?"
Tao Zi said calmly, "Senior Sister will go. What you need to do is to take care of these strongholds to prevent any fish from escaping."
Xing Zhan moved his lips, but before he could speak, she said, "Xing Zhan, Wu Yue, Liu Yue, the three of you take the lead."
Liu Yue responded loudly: "Yes, Senior Sister!"
After another round of arrangements, those people went about their own business.
Xing Zhan then said, "Senior Sister, I want to follow you."
Wu Yue then said: "I want to too!"
Liu Yue glared at the two of them and said, "Senior Sister is doing this for our own good. Given our abilities, going there would only cause her some worry. But, if possible, I will also..."
"Impossible." Tao Zi ruthlessly refused. "The Sword Sect has enough spiritual weapons, formations, and elders to protect them. The young disciples can go and practice, but we don't have any. Besides, I don't want to cause any more casualties."
Liu Yue and the other two were silent. Finally, Liu Yue asked the key question: "Those strongholds, and the things in them?"
Tao Zi heard this question and said, "Once we get it, it's ours, but we have to be careful."
Wu Yue became more energetic, and Xing Zhan felt vaguely relieved.
"Execution?"
When he heard her name being called, Xing Zhan's eyes drifted away.
To be honest, Tao Zi rarely saw him like this. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you worried that I will rely solely on the Xujia Sect and no longer build my own forces?"
Xing Zhan lowered his head and said, "I was mistaken."
"Brother is reliable, but Xujiamen may not be. Besides, I am not such a foolish person. I don't plan to rely on Xujiamen all the time in the future."
Who can guarantee that their interests are always consistent?
Wu Yue gave Xing Zhan a quick, light kick, then quickly took several steps to the side before saying seriously, "Senior Sister, don't worry, we will definitely get the capital to make a comeback!"
"Where are your junior brothers and sisters?"
Wu Yue shouted, "We'll handle it. We'll make sure they know the real purpose of our trip!"
Only then did Tao Zi smile.
Six days later, Yue Qingya gathered everyone there, and Tao Zi also went there.
She looked at the various casual cultivators in various attire, bowed sincerely, and said, "I haven't formally thanked you all for what I did earlier."
Someone jumped aside and blurted out, "I wasn't involved in that incident, don't thank me!"
The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became lively, and several monks even said with a smile: "They are thanking us, not you. Why did you come out?"
"Yue...ah, no, Fellow Daoist Tao, you don't have to thank us. We didn't do this for you. We just didn't want the Minglan Sect to have an easy time."
"Exactly, just like this time, I'm not waiting for you."
Tao Zi also laughed and said, "I understand, but I still should thank you."
"I'm going to counterattack. I can't bear it any longer."
Everyone started to chatter and discuss, and one of them suddenly asked, "Fellow Daoist Tao, we only know that we are going to counterattack, but may I ask the specific time and method?"
Tao Zi glanced at him with a gentle smile and said, "I'm not sure about this either."
The man frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Tao, this is because you are not sincere enough."
Willow Tiao reacted quickly and bluntly said, "We both know the methods of the Minglan Sect. How can we let everyone know before we even take action? After all, you and I are not the main force. We should just wait for the news. Why ask so many questions?"
The other monks also responded one by one: "That's right, we are just cleaning up those strongholds, not going to the front."
During their discussion, Tao Zi wrote a list of the specific locations of several strongholds and gave it only to Yue Qingya. If he remembered correctly, there were quite a few things suitable for independent cultivators in it.
It just so happened that the things stored in the strongholds that Xing Zhan had taken were suitable for physical cultivators or low-level cultivators, and did not conflict with these independent cultivators.
Yue Qingya understood what she meant. Since he was not sure whether there were spies, it would be better to tell her the specific locations of these strongholds before taking action.
