Chapter 511: Counterattack (I)
"I'm telling the world... The Minglan Sect has the reputation of being one of the three sects. We do the things of the Demon Sect, harming tens of thousands of mortals. This has been noticed, and Yue Qiran has been stigmatized..."
The manifesto shocked the entire world of immortal cultivation. It was not without doubts, but the sects that jointly issued the manifesto were the Sword Sect and the One Thought Sect. The statements of these sects were enough to determine the outcome. Even if the Tiandao Sect came, they would not be able to clear the reputation of the Minglan Sect.
The strongholds of Minglan Sect in various places refuted and prepared to evacuate, but they were destined not to return to Minglan Sect.
Three hours after the manifesto was issued, the leader of the Sword Sect and the leader of the Yi Nian Sect arrived at the foot of the Minglan Sect mountain. The speed was so fast that Tao Zi couldn't react.
The Minglan Sect activated the sect protection formation, and no one from either side took action for the time being.
When Tao Zi arrived, there was a masked monk standing next to Wang Xu, with a sword beside him - the Xijing Sword.
She subconsciously slowed down her pace and silently bowed to Wangxu, thanking them for bringing Xijing out.
Before anything could be said, Xijing Sword began to struggle on its own, trying frantically to come over here. The cultivators around all cast their glances over secretly - in addition to the three sects and four schools, other sects were also participating, but some came quickly, and some had not arrived yet.
Wang Xu brought Tao Zi to a more secluded place and said, "You got here pretty fast."
"I should be the one telling you this." Tao Zi said, and took the opportunity to protect the Xijing Sword that was rushing towards her.
Wuyan, who was standing aside, turned a blind eye to the fact that his natal sword was held in the hand of someone else, pretending not to know.
Wang Xu smiled and said, "Master and the others have been wanting to start this for a long time. They've come up with countless plans, so naturally they're moving very quickly. As for any obstacles, the Nine Turns Gate will handle them. It's just that the official start time will have to be postponed. After all, we're still contacting the people at Zhufeng, but we have to start tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Zhufeng?"
Wang Xu nodded and said, "I don't know if you know a cultivator named Zhou Xisuo. He escaped with the help of Zhu Feng. When he escaped, Zhu Feng was still normal, and he had a lot of evidence in his hands."
Tao Zi immediately realized what was happening and asked, "Do you need Zhu Feng to step in?"
He glanced at Wuyan who was standing beside him, and then said, "Only when both inside and outside work together can a comeback be impossible."
Obviously, this is to guard against the Tiandao Sect.
Wu Yan could naturally hear it. After all, in this situation, the only one who could give Ming Lan Sect a chance to turn the tables was Tian Dao Sect. Even though the chance was very slim, he didn't care.
"Sister Tao!"
A familiar voice called out. Tao Zi turned around and saw Cheng Anran rushing towards her, her face full of excitement. "Sister Tao, my marriage is back! I can stay by your side now!"
She rushed over, took Tao Zi's hand, and then greeted Wang Xu and Wu Yan.
Before Tao Zi could speak, her eyes fell on Xi Jing. Her hands loosened involuntarily and she looked up at Tao Zi.
It seems that she knows about Xi Jing's affairs.
Tao Zi didn't say anything, just nodded.
Cheng Anran reached out and touched the hilt of the sword, and said cautiously, "Xi Jing, hello, my name is Cheng Anran, and I'm your friend."
The Xijing Sword dodged her touch, circled around Tao Zi, and nestled into her other arm.
Cheng Anran looked at Xi Jing for a long moment before forcing a smile again, saying nonchalantly, "Sister Tao, you have no idea how far the Ming Lan Sect has gone. Countless people from aristocratic families have suffered misfortune. Fortunately, the Cheng family fled early, so they escaped this disaster."
Tao Zi patted her shoulder and asked, "How is your sister?"
"The Zhou family treated my sister very well. They believed my sister's words this time and took precautions against the clan members returning from the Minglan Sect early on, so there weren't any major losses. As for the other families, the Zhou family didn't dare to speak up. However, the Li family, where my second sister-in-law is from, started to be wary of the Minglan Sect after the incident with the Cheng family, but surprisingly, they remained unscathed."
Tao Zi thought of the Yuan family where Fellow Daoist Yuan was from and asked, "Yuan family?"
"Right!" Cheng Anran slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot. The Yuan family began secretly warning the various families more than seven years ago, otherwise the losses of the aristocratic families would be even greater. This time, it was the Yuan family who took the lead in sending people to fight against the Minglan Sect."
She felt a little emotional.
After dark, other sects arrived one after another.
The next day, at daybreak, the Sword Sect's leader and the One Thought Sect's head stood in mid-air. The Sword Sect's leader shouted in a deep voice, "If there are any members of the Minglan Sect who admit their mistakes and repent, and those who are unaware, please make your position known now, and we will protect you."
No one from the Minglan Sect responded. Everyone stood there like puppets, silent and quiet.
The head of Yi Nian Men said "Amitabha".
The Sword Sect monks stood at the front, with Wangxu as the center. They shouted in unison, and hundreds of swords rose into the air and stabbed towards the sect's protective formation.
At the same time, the Buddhist cultivator from the Yi Nian Sect behind Qian Xuanhua transferred his spiritual energy to Qian Xuanhua alone, allowing him to break the formation.
Under such an attack, the sect protection formation only broke through the outermost layer.
Tao Zi watched quietly, knowing that this formation could not be broken without the help of a Mahayana cultivator. Now, she was just trying to force the Mahayana cultivators and Qinglan of the Minglan Sect to take action.
Almost an incense stick of time had passed, and there was still no sign of the Mahayana stage, not even Xu Qianjia and others showed up.
Something is wrong!
Tao Zi quickly looked at the Sword Sect's leader. The Sword Sect's leader narrowed his eyes and also found something wrong. One Mahayana cultivator could be timid, but it was impossible for all Mahayana cultivators to avoid fighting.
He no longer waited and raised his hand. All the Sword Sect monks stopped attacking. The head of the Buddhist Sect also took action to stop the actions of the Buddhist monks.
The sect leader and the headmaster looked at each other, worked together, and broke the formation.
Led by the Sword Sect, thousands of cultivators poured into the Minglan Sect.
The monks of Minglan Sect seemed to be unaware of pain and fear. They rushed forward one after another, determined to stop them at the cost of their lives.
This should have been a tragic scene, but it inexplicably revealed a sense of weirdness that made others shudder.
During this time, I could also hear faintly:
"Brother, do you still recognize me?"
"I'm your friend, wake up!"
"No, don't kill him! He just looks like he's being controlled."
"It's useless. Just destroy him and save his life."
"Are you here to attack Minglan Sect or to protect it? You are so confused!"
…
All kinds of noises came from all directions, and for a moment, there was a stalemate.
The Minglan Sect wanted to kill them, but some people here tried to stop them. They still believed that the old people could be saved.
The big sects like Jianzong and Yi Nianmen were fine, but the disciples from aristocratic families were too lenient.
Tao Zi walked straight past these people and rushed to the main peak - someone would take care of things here.
Sure enough, the sound of chanting was heard behind her, gradually getting louder and then fading away.
By the time the sound of chanting became faint, she had already stood at the foot of the main peak.
