Chapter 515: Counterattack (V)
Tao Zi no longer wanted to kill Lian Qingzhou, but instead trapped him firmly in the yard, then turned to look at Xu Qianjia and the others.
He Qianyi probably fainted, and fell into the tank with her eyes closed. She simply leaned her head against the edge of the tank to avoid drowning. Xu Qianjia looked at her expressionlessly, with complex emotions occasionally flashing in his eyes.
Tao Zi didn't bother to think about what those emotions represented. She was only curious about one thing: "Xu Qianjia, you've been plotting against me from the very beginning, ever since I brought them back. Why is that?"
Could it be that Xu Qianjia was really born vicious? If so, then her vision at the time was really poor.
When Xu Qianjia heard this question, he laughed sarcastically: "What if I don't tell you?"
Tao Zi shook her head nonchalantly and said, "That's fine. It's not a big deal after all."
Her purpose in rushing over was to kill them. Qinglan could no longer die, and if they somehow survived, it would be like a stab in her heart.
Hearing this, Xu Qianjia's eyes turned red. He looked at her as if she was a heartless woman and said through gritted teeth, "What did you promise me? Can't you remember it?"
Wu Yan and the others silently turned their gaze to Tao Zi, feeling slightly shocked.
Tao Zi shuddered and began to suspect that she was not the only one with memory problems.
Noticing the gazes of Wu Yan and the others, she felt a surge of regret. Why hadn't she just killed him? He simply said something like that to tarnish her innocence.
Now, I have to figure this out. Otherwise, when I wake up in the middle of the night and think of this, I won’t know how upset I will be.
She asked back, "What did I promise you?"
"You promised me that I would be your only junior brother in this life, and there would be no other junior brothers or sisters." Xu Qianjia ignored the insects that were moving in and out of his mouth and continued, "Back then, when you first picked me up and I had a fever, you promised me that. But not long after, you said that the master said that you were destined to have two junior brothers and one junior sister. You lied to me, you deceived me, and I trusted you so much."
Tao Zi blinked slowly.
What the hell? When did she ever agree to this?
After thinking for a long time, she vaguely remembered that Xu Qianjia had indeed been ill that year, and his illness was very serious. He refused to take medicine and was mumbling something unclearly. She just casually made a "hmm" sound to coax him into taking the medicine.
Tao Zi fell into a long silence. If she had known this would happen, she should not have given him that medicine. He would have died of illness.
Xu Qianjia looked at her with resentment. She was just like his mother. His mother also started to ignore him after giving birth to his younger siblings, until she finally threw him out of the carriage to attract the attention of the refugees.
He originally thought Tao Zi was different, but in the end, she was the same person as his mother.
From the moment Lan Yongji and the others appeared, he knew that he was going to be ignored again.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Looking at you like this, I think I'll remember it."
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Indeed, but I don't understand why you are still pushing the blame onto others even today."
Hearing this, Xu Qianjia stared at her.
"Xu Qianjia, you targeted me at first, perhaps for reasons I don't quite understand, but what happened later? When you attacked me, was it for revenge or power?"
He froze there.
Tao Zi said calmly, "Xu Qianjia, from the beginning to the end, you have been a selfish and ungrateful person. You only see the bad things others do to you and blame them for what they do. In essence, you and Lan Yongji are the same type of person."
She added, "Is it so difficult to admit that you schemed against me for resources and status?"
Xu Qianjia had a gloomy face and said nothing.
"Forget it." Tao Zi shook her head, and the demonic energy in her hand surged towards Xu Qianjia, finally giving him a quick death.
Looking at Xu Qianjia's death, Tao Zi was in a trance for a moment. She had thought more than once before how great it would be to kill Xu Qianjia, but when this day really came, she found that the impact of this man's death on her seemed far less than she had imagined.
At this moment, she was thinking about whether to wake up He Qianyi before taking action, or to take action directly.
Just as she was about to take action, He Qianyi slowly woke up.
Looking at the imaginary sword so close at hand, she subconsciously said weakly, "I have something to report about the alien race."
Just one sentence saved her life.
Tao Zi looked at the virtual sword that was blocked by Wang Xu and slowly exhaled. It was impossible to say that she was not annoyed.
Wang Xu glanced at her apologetically, then looked at He Qianyi: "Go ahead."
He Qianyi smiled with difficulty: "Brother Wang, please promise me that I can survive."
Wang Xu sighed and said, "Ming Lan Sect has become one of the alien strongholds, and you, as a member of the Ming Lan Sect's main peak, will never be free no matter what. Death is already a good ending."
She straightened her back as much as possible and said, "I know, but I don't want to die like this, even if I deserve it. As long as I can survive, I will voluntarily go to the exile area in the wasteland and never set foot outside the wasteland in my life."
The exile area in the desolate land, the place closest to the Guishan Mountain, is specially used to receive disciples who are suspected of having connections with alien races but the sect is unwilling to give up. They are allowed to enter but not to leave. The environment there is harsh and the spiritual energy is thin. It is difficult for those without a strong mind to survive.
Wangxu looked at Tao Zi meaningfully.
Tao Zi looked at her indifferently.
He Qianyi's gaze naturally turned to Tao Zi, and her originally straight back slightly bent. "Senior Sister, I don't have many days left to live, why dirty your hands?"
Tao Zi could not deny it.
She moved her lips, hesitated again and again, and finally revealed her trump card: "I accidentally discovered the method used by the alien race to forcibly transform monks. It relies on a combination of poisonous insects, prescriptions, and a kind of black mist. The poisonous insects..."
He Qianyi paused before continuing, "The poisonous insects were once tested on Senior Sister. The recipe seems to come from a family named Yu. The black fog is related to demonic cultivation. However, all three have been transformed by alien races and are now very different from before."
Wang Xu shook his head and said, "This information can only make me let you go, but it is not enough for me to stand in front of Tao Zi. You should know that if Qing Lan fails, we can get more information from him, or maybe..."
He turned his head slightly to glance at Lian Qingzhou who was imprisoned not far away.
He Qianyi held out her only hand, which was covered in dense black insects. She said, "Lian Qingzhou can use a strange insect to determine whether a cultivator is under control. I secretly hid one in my arm through a secret method. The price is that your cultivation level will drop to the Xuanzhao stage, and your remaining lifespan will not exceed ten years."
She looked at Tao Zi and whispered, "Senior Sister, you got this secret technique from some ruins. You should know that I didn't lie."
