Chapter 517: Visitors from the Tiandao Sect
Not long after, Wuyan also came over.
As always, Xijing arrived faster than Wuyan.
Tao Zi sensitively noticed that the moment Xi Jing appeared, Jiao'er, who was holding her hand, quieted down for a moment and then quickly returned to normal.
She lowered her gaze and saw Jiao'er's eyes turned red.
Everyone acted as if nothing had happened to Xi Jing and greeted her with a smile, even though she ignored them and just rubbed against Tao Zi's arms.
Wuyan didn't come over, just watched from a distance.
Two days later, Xing Zhan and the others also came and started reporting on the completion of their tasks during this period. They were obviously very busy, but each one looked more relaxed than the other.
But it’s also true that in the past, they had the Minglan Sect looming over them, and they had to worry all the time about whether they could keep their heads down. Now they don’t have to worry about that anymore.
Finally, Xing Zhan asked, "Senior Sister, will we move back to Minglan Sect?"
Tao Zi shook her head and said, "It's too chaotic here, and the abyss of Xingfeng was once connected to Guishan. We can't stay here no matter what."
Wu Yue blurted out in astonishment: "What? Connected to Guishan Mountain?"
She nodded. This was the information she had found from Qinglan's spiritual consciousness.
According to Qinglan's recollection, the alien race had used some unknown means to connect the abyss with the strange mountain, and the master came here to destroy this passage, but in the end he was not strong enough and died on the Xingfeng Peak.
This body has been preserved because of its excellent spiritual veins, making it a good candidate to become a Heavenly Venerable.
But this passage was destroyed by unknown persons shortly before she fell off the cliff.
As for Qinglan himself, he is a cultivator in the out-of-body stage and has a high degree of compatibility with his master's body. He was controlled by Lian Qingzhou and when he learned of Lian Qingzhou's true identity, he had already boarded the pirate ship and could not and was unwilling to get off.
Tao Zi lowered her eyes. The woman who saved her was suspected to be the one who destroyed the passage, and she was also acquainted with Old Man Wen.
So, is the person who wants to destroy the passage like Master related to Master? If so, what is the relationship between Old Man Wen and Master?
Moreover, the master once said that she would have three junior brothers and sisters in the future.
The smile on her face turned cold, it better not be what she thought.
Otherwise, she might consider killing her teacher.
Wu Yue took a step back calmly, and Liu Yue glared at him silently.
It's easy to guess that the Senior Sister's murderous intent is not directed at them at the moment, so why retreat? They are not afraid of the Senior Sister noticing.
Tao Zi realized that her emotions were showing, and quickly restrained her expression. Her tone was much gentler: "Don't gather your people in one place. Spread out. Finally, there must be a teleportation array in the gathering place to ensure that you can leave at any time."
Wu Yue asked in confusion: "Senior Sister, why is this?"
Tao Zi looked towards the location of Tiandao Sect, then quickly retracted her gaze and said, "Senior Sister, please be careful. This is not over yet."
The attitude of the Tiandao Sect is a mystery, and she will feel uneasy if she is not on guard.
Noticing her gaze, even the usually slow-witted Wu Yue felt his heart sink, not to mention Xing Zhan and others.
They nodded solemnly. Tao Zi then gave them a series of instructions, and finally said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Senior Sister may frequently visit the demon and devil realms."
Xing Zhan replied, "We know. Sister, just focus on your own affairs. We will handle the rest ourselves."
She added another reminder: "If there is anything wrong, please feel free to contact Senior Sister, don't carry it on your own."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
Tao Zi stood by the window, watching them rushing to and fro, and sighed, "It's me who got them into trouble after all."
Cheng Wuchou just stepped into the room and sighed when he heard this. He said, "Azi, you sometimes have an overly strong sense of responsibility. That's not good."
She turned around and looked at her brother, smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know, but it was indeed me who implicated them."
Cheng Wuchou shook his head in disapproval: "Without you, they would have died long ago. You gave them their lives. Not to mention that it's just a burden, even if it means taking their lives, they should obey you. Besides, even if it means getting them into trouble, you will still do what you have to do, right?"
Tao Zi smiled helplessly and said, "Indeed."
"Then don't think too much about it. It's just a waste of energy."
Cheng Wuchou looked at Tao Zi and sighed again in his heart.
If Ah Zi had grown up in a more normal environment, her personality wouldn't be so weird.
Damn Minglan Sect, Qinglan deserves to be cut into pieces.
Cheng Wuchou cursed Qinglan in his heart, but still smiled gently on the surface.
Tao Zi naturally had no idea what her brother was thinking, as her thoughts had long since turned to the Tiandao Sect.
Not long after, people from the Tiandao Sect arrived.
As soon as the people from Tiandao Sect arrived, they proposed to take Qinglan away, but Sect Master Wang was unwilling to do so, and his reason was very reasonable.
"Qinglan is colluding with alien races and is extremely powerful. We must monitor them from all sides to reassure people. This is what our ancestors meant."
The Tiandao Sect elder frowned and said, "Our Tianzun means that Qinglan should be handed over to him."
The Desperate Sect Master remained expressionless, smiling softly, "You mean, we only need to consider the wishes of Cong Tian Zun?"
The elder of Tiandao Sect opened his mouth, but in the end he was unable to answer this question.
The Desperate Sect Master continued, "Besides, even if Qinglan is to be taken away, the method of dealing with him must be announced to the world and dealt with in public."
The elder's voice turned cold: "Master Wang, are you questioning the Heavenly Venerable?"
"No, it's just that our ancestor really put in a lot of effort and was even seriously injured for it, but in the end, he..."
The leader of the Wang Sect stopped talking and just continued to look at the people of the Tiandao Sect with a smile.
Seriously injured?
Hearing this, the face of the Tiandao Sect elder darkened. He didn't believe it, but he couldn't question it on the spot. After all, it was indeed not fair of the Tiandao Sect to not send out a single person... nor was it that they sent out a young sect leader and wanted to take Qinglan away.
Thinking of the young sect leader, he looked at Wu Yan and found that his eyes were not on the people in the sect at all, but were looking at the direction where the Xijing Sword was, that is, Tao Zi.
Upon discovering that the Xijing Sword was so attached to outsiders, the Tiandao Sect elder frowned even deeper.
The Delusion Sect Master calmly redirected the Tiandao Sect elders' attention back, "How about this? As I just said, you and I will each take a step back. We can hand over Qinglan's soul to you, but you must deal with Qinglan publicly. As for how to deal with her, the Tiandao Sect will naturally have the final say."
At the moment, it seems that the Sword Sect has suffered a great loss. They captured the person, but the Tiandao Sect took advantage of it.
In this situation, if the Tiandao Sect still refuses to give in, it will inevitably be criticized.
The elder of Tiandao Sect was well aware of this, but he also had his own concerns, so in the end he could only postpone the decision for three more days.
