Chapter 523: The Secret of Xujiamen (I)
When he woke up, the little ghost beside him was staring at his body, muttering: "It's dirty, dirty, so dirty..."
When Cheng Wuchou knew she had woken up, he came over and knocked on the door. After getting permission, he walked into the room, found a chair and sat down, jokingly saying, "You slept so comfortably. Those people outside are going crazy looking for you."
Tao Zi stretched lazily and said, "I left a message. Qingya and Xingzhan won't worry, let alone look for me."
Therefore, it goes without saying who are the people who are going crazy looking for her.
Cheng Wuchou laughed dumbly and said, "Have you been leaving messages these days?"
"Almost. The Minglan Sect and the Tiandao Sect cannot be compared. If I don't leave a message, I'm worried that Qingya and the others will confront the Tiandao Sect. Besides, I also need some time to get rid of the people secretly sent by the Tiandao Sect."
Looking at her relaxed and comfortable appearance, her brother smiled helplessly and said, "You need to be prepared. Fellow Daoist Yuan has sent me news that the Tiandao Sect will publicly respond to this matter in the near future."
Tao Zi waved her hand casually: "Whatever, it's better than before. At least everyone who deserves to die is dead. Except for Lian Qingzhou, of course."
"You are in much better condition now than before."
She smiled and said, "Qinglan is dead. The next thing to consider is Xijing and the others, but there's no rush."
When Cheng Wuchou heard Xi Jing's name, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Wuyan has returned to the Tiandao Sect."
Tao Zi was quiet for a moment, and finally said, "There is always a way."
She had gambled her afterlife on it, and in the end, there would be a way to save them.
Tao Zi skipped the topic and asked, "Where's the gentleman?"
"The master is waiting for you in the study, but there is no rush."
She cheered herself up and said, "I'll go over now. I don't want to keep you waiting too long."
When she arrived at her husband's side, he was reading a book by the window, giving people the illusion that life was peaceful and tranquil.
After noticing her coming, the gentleman put down the book and said with a smile: "Xiao Zi, have you had a good rest?"
"Yes." Tao Zi paused, then asked, "Have you caused any trouble to me, sir?"
Even though the relationship between Cheng Wuchou and Xujiamen was not known to everyone, there were still a few people who could vaguely see it, especially after her brother often used the power of Xujiamen for her.
The gentleman waved his hand and said, "No problem, this is a good opportunity to clean up a group of fools who have crossed the line."
Tao Zi breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the master said the next second: "It will be difficult for Xujiamen to continue to exist."
When these words came out, not only she, but even Cheng Wuchou who was standing beside her was shocked.
The master said, "The fate is already determined. You don't have to worry. This was the fate that was destined from the moment the Xujia Sect was established."
Tao Zi was a little puzzled: "Sir?"
"Xiao Zi, you should know how many evil things the Xujia Clan has done. Although they were forced to do so at first, it has become a habit."
Tao Zi was speechless. Yes, she almost forgot how much she used to dislike the style of Xujiamen, even though her own reputation was even worse.
Perhaps it was her relationship with Cheng Wuchou that made her gradually forget all this, or perhaps it increased her tolerance for Xu Jiamen.
Cheng Wuchou sighed and continued, "Azi, in fact, the things you know are just the most insignificant of the many messes in Xujiamen."
The gentleman stood up and said, "Xiao Zi, you are going to a place with me."
Tao Zi realized that ordinary people couldn't go to that place, so she asked, "Where is it?"
"This is a place that Asahi Kamon never reveals to the public. At the same time, it is also the darkest place in Asahi Kamon."
She stopped and said, "Sir, that is the secret of Xujiamen. Even with my brother's relationship, I shouldn't go."
The gentleman smiled and shook his head, his brows gentle as he said, "Azi, we trust you. Besides, soon, it won't be a secret anymore."
Tao Zi looked at him in astonishment.
Cheng Wuchou frowned even more and asked, "Sir, what happened?"
The master said in a very nonchalant tone, "Someone has defected, and the news will soon reach the Tiandao Sect. How could the saints of the Tiandao Sect tolerate such a thing? Xiao Zi, come with me. There are some things that should and must be handed over to you."
Tao Zi was stunned for a moment, and finally chose to follow.
After walking through one long tunnel after another, they finally reached their destination.
In front of them was a heavy and scarred iron gate, with two Mahayana cultivators guarding the gate.
Seeing them coming, he bowed silently, which was a particularly strange and unfamiliar etiquette.
But Tao Zi vaguely remembered that she seemed to have seen this way of saluting in the illusion of Xiu Zi ruins.
After opening the iron gate, a heavy smell hit me in the face. Obviously, there was only a long passage behind the iron gate.
At the end of the passage, Tao Zi stopped.
A dozen skeletons were neatly stacked on both sides of the passage, some of them still covered in flesh and blood.
The gentleman said, "This is recent and we haven't had time to deal with it yet."
Cheng Wuchou patted her shoulder and handed her a pill containing demonic energy, whispering, "There's almost no spiritual energy or demonic energy in it. Hold this in your mouth and you'll feel better when you go in."
Tao Zi did as she was told.
After entering, the spiritual energy content inside was indeed lower than that of Xingfeng.
But she did not feel any discomfort, perhaps because she was used to the environment of Xingfeng, or perhaps because of the scene in front of her.
The place was spacious and deserted, with only four or five people guarding it. They simply bowed to the arrival of the gentleman and others without any other reaction.
The only eye-catching thing was the pool of blood in the middle, in which were floating several bodies, dead or alive. Occasionally, a few pieces of white meat or a few broken limbs would appear in the pool of blood.
After a while, one of the bodies groaned in pain and then disappeared into silence.
The guard stepped forward to investigate and made a gesture to someone next to him. That person stepped forward and moved the body into a hidden passage.
When he came out again, he was dragging a skeleton in his hand.
Cheng Wuchou took a few steps forward, not letting her see anymore, and whispered, "Sir, let's go somewhere else."
The gentleman nodded and led Tao Zi to another path.
This time, the end of the path was a study, a study where about ten people were standing.
Perhaps because the spiritual energy was too thin, Tao Zi could not see their cultivation level, but she recognized one of them - the leader of Xujia Sect.
Seeing Tao Zi following him, the leader of Xujia Sect was surprised for a moment before he smiled and said, "It's just as it should be. It should have been so long ago."
The expressions of the others' eyes also softened a little.
Tao Zi was clearly aware that their reaction was not because of her, but because of the imperial princess who passed away three thousand years ago.
