Chapter 532: Going to the Demon Palace
Tao Zi was in mixed feelings. She had originally thought that at least half of these people would disperse, but unexpectedly, more than half stayed.
One of the mortals was on his last breath, but he still struggled to speak, "Master Sister Tao, back then, you said you would accept my child as soon as he turned twelve. He's just turned twelve this year. Now, will the sect still accept anyone?"
Tao Zi didn't expect this question and was really surprised. In just a moment, all the mortals turned their eyes to her, with expectations in their eyes that could not be concealed.
Cheng Luo sighed silently. He was originally surprised by the existence of these mortals, but now he understood that their only purpose was to send themselves or their children on the path of cultivating immortality.
Even though physical cultivation is a path to immortality that is destined to prevent one from ascending to the immortal realm, it is still a path that countless mortals cannot reach.
Tao Zi remembered the promise she made many years ago, nodded gently, and said, "Of course I will."
The mortal laughed and used his last bit of strength to call over the little girl who was about twelve years old and asked her to kneel down and call him "Senior Sister".
The little girl reacted quickly. She knelt down and kowtowed so hard that even Tao Zi was startled.
She took a few steps forward and helped the little girl up. Then she looked at the other mortals who were eager to make a move and said, "My current situation is really not good. If I want to join the Yisan Sect, I can only be taught by others."
A sensible mortal immediately spoke up, "We didn't intend to trouble Senior Sister to do it ourselves, but Senior Brother Zhou said we need Senior Sister's approval before we can recruit people."
Zhou Qiandan smiled helplessly. These people had been with them all the way and had suffered so much. Naturally, they wanted to learn from them, but they themselves were incompetent. Teaching others casually might damage their foundation, just like they had done back then.
At night, Yan Wenxuan, Xu Chengcheng and others woke up, and Tao Zi learned more from them.
At first, Yan Wenxuan did not escape with them, and Cheng Yimen also planned to save him on the grounds that those who were ignorant of the matter were innocent. Unexpectedly, Lan Yongji went crazy and insisted on bringing people to kill them.
It was originally impossible to escape, but He Qianyi also went crazy and insisted on saving their lives. During the confrontation between the two, Yan Wenxuan took He Yinggui and other men and ran away, and then reunited with Xu Chengcheng and others.
Not all of them have the mark in their bodies, so every once in a while someone will go out to gather information and purchase supplies.
Not long ago, the mark suddenly disappeared. When they went out to inquire, they found out that something had happened to Minglan Sect. Before she could be happy, she was slandered again.
After discussion, everyone decided to stay in the Demon Realm and wait for her follow-up news, and continue to look for the second brother Han Yueshan who had entered the Demon Realm.
As they were talking, a young man quietly came over and brought them a plate of apples. Finally, he stood beside Zhou Qiandan and looked at them.
Tao Zi looked at the boy for a few seconds and thought he looked familiar. She asked, "Whose child is this?"
When the young man saw her asking, his eyes lit up with joy, and he took the initiative to speak: "Senior Sister, my name is Zhang Yuanhuan, and my father's name is Zhang Qian. He used to work for the Yisan Sect."
Tao Zi naturally remembered Zhang Qian, and a smile appeared on her face as she said, "So you're his child. I remember your father said he wanted to send you to the Yisan Sect to train."
"Yes." Zhang Yuanhuan was getting happier. "If Dad knew that Senior Sister still remembered him, he would definitely be very happy."
Tao Zi originally wanted to ask about his parents' situation, but after thinking about it carefully, she swallowed her words in time and did not ask any more questions.
She patted the child's shoulder, turned to look at Zhou Qiandan and the others, and said, "Too many people are looking for me, so I can't take you with me. Someone will come to pick you up later. As for these children, they don't necessarily have to embark on the path of physical cultivation. It depends on their own wishes."
This is very clear. If you have good talent, you may be able to practice his way.
Xu Chengcheng smiled and said, "We know, Senior Sister."
After Xu Chengcheng spoke, Tao Zi remembered something and took out the Ghost Record. She said, "Chengcheng, take this."
Xu Chengcheng didn't take it, and said hesitantly, "Senior Sister?"
"You have quite a talent. You have already learned the most basics in those two years. You can slowly figure out the rest on your own."
Xu Chengcheng then took it and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister. I will teach the younger brothers and sisters below me after I learn it."
Everyone chatted for a few more words before leaving, leaving behind her, Yan Wenxuan, He Yinggui and others.
He Yinggui wanted to leave as well, but Yan Wenxuan stopped him, saying, "You should stay too. After all, you're someone I can use. Didn't you see that Master Cheng from the other side is also staying here?"
Cheng Luo:?
Tao Zi coughed lightly. Yan Wenxuan had disliked Cheng Luo because of her, and it seemed that this situation had not changed.
Cheng Luo said with a forced smile: "Master Yan is really lucky to be alive today."
"No, no, he's not as good as Young Sect Master Cheng. Oh, look at my mouth, I almost forgot, Xujia Sect is gone, how can we still call him Young Sect Master? It should be Fellow Daoist Cheng."
Cheng Luo, who had always been calm about this matter, changed his usual attitude, took out his weapon and was about to attack, but fortunately Cheng Wuchou stopped him in time.
Tao Zi glared at Yan Wenxuan helplessly several times. He rolled his eyes before he apologized in a formal manner.
It was obvious that these two people did not get along, but when it came to business, apart from the occasional vulgar remarks, they were quite calm and peaceful.
Yan Wenxuan frowned and said, "Yue Qiran... no, Tao Zi, when you say someone is coming to pick you up, do you mean someone from Xing Zhan's side?"
"Almost. What's wrong?"
Yan Wenxuan cast a soundproofing spell before continuing, "It's best not to send core personnel over here. We're not sure if this place is clean."
Tao Zi glanced at the people not far away and said, "I know. Don't worry, we will have a series of testing methods. However, if the situation outside is critical, we may cut off all contact with the outside world to ensure your safety."
Yan Wenxuan immediately said, "As long as we don't stay in this rubbish place, anywhere will do. Don't you agree, Yinggui?"
He Yinggui nodded, and after much hesitation, he finally spoke: "Tao Zi, um... I mean, what happened to He Qianyi?"
Tao Zi paused and said, "He saved his life, but he won't live for long. He will go to the wasteland next."
He Yinggui whispered, "This can barely be considered a good ending for her."
They talked about some other things before going to bed.
Tao Zi and the other two did not fall asleep, but left at dawn the next day.
Not long after, the people sent by Xing Zhan also arrived.
These mortals and monks who had lived in the demon world for nearly ten years were finally able to leave this hellish place.
After receiving the news that they had left safely, Tao Zi and the others left the vicinity and rushed to the Demon Palace.
Regarding the abnormal behavior of the demon cultivators, perhaps we can only ask the Lord of the Demon Palace.
