Chapter 543: Collapse of the Ruins
When Tao Zi heard the news about the Xuyan ruins again, it was a rumor that the ruins were beginning to collapse.
Senior Ti Xiu was not surprised, or rather, he was the first to receive the news, but he just didn't say it.
Wu Yan, on the other hand, received the insider information and said, "Before the collapse of the Xuyan Ruins, they created the illusion that the Dragon Medicine was still inside the ruins, so most people didn't think of us, except for the fact that the Demon Lord bit Zhao Xue to death. Now, those people are trying to take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters before the ruins completely collapse."
Han Yueshan thought for a moment and said, "What we need to worry about are the Tiandao Sect and the demon world. Everything else is fine."
Wu Yan said slowly, "As soon as the Tiandao Sect makes a move, I'll have news. As for the demon world, we can only rely on Little Phoenix and the others."
So it seems that we are safe for the time being?
But... for some reason, Tao Zi always felt that the law of nature would not be revealed so easily.
She frowned and said, "It's better to plan a retreat as soon as possible."
Wu Yan heard this and looked at her thoughtfully, then said, "That's right. With you here, it's better to discuss a retreat as soon as possible."
Han Yueshan glanced at him expressionlessly.
At this moment, Zhao Xue, who had been unconscious, suddenly moved, attracting everyone's attention. Lian Xijing also came over and stared at him for a long time.
Then he went back to sleep.
Everyone: ...
With this little incident, the tense atmosphere was almost dissipated.
Wu Yan looked at Tao Zi and said, "Let's find a place to rest first, and then discuss a retreat."
Tao Zi nodded in agreement.
Two days later, all of them and the monsters reunited successfully, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But the facts prove that as long as Tao Zi is around, there will always be surprises.
No matter how unlikely this accident is, it will happen.
When the news came, the little fox was basking in the sun. As soon as the news came out, he jumped up like a caught fish and struggled desperately: "Impossible! I remember clearly that after receiving the inheritance, the ancestors of our tribe disappeared!"
Wu Yan said helplessly, "But the news said that it was indeed that senior who suddenly appeared in front of the Demon Lord and said that he had seen Xi Jingjian, Tao Zi and others. It is estimated that it will not be long before we are hunted by both the Tiandao Sect and the Demon Realm."
Cheng Anran pondered for three seconds and said solemnly, "But the Tiandao Sect and the demon world are already hunting us."
Yue Qingya said, "The nature of this is different. Before, it wasn't called hunting, it was called searching. But after this incident, they all have a legitimate excuse and the determination to hunt him down."
As expected, not long after, the Tiandao Sect changed from just politely asking fellow Taoists for help in the beginning to offering a huge reward to Tao Zi and others. The "gold" included almost everything from skills and techniques to various elixirs and tools. Not to mention the independent cultivators, I'm afraid that even disciples from other sects would be tempted.
The demon lord was even more exaggerated. He took out demon cores of all stages, including the demon cores of demon beasts that were comparable to the Mahayana stage of human cultivation. He had only one condition - to hand over the living Zhao Xue to him.
When these rewards were announced, everyone fell silent.
Qiu Xuanhuan sighed, "I never expected it. I really never expected that I would actually be so valuable."
Jiu Qingling said: "It's not you."
He shook his head disapprovingly and said, "There's no difference between you and me. We're all the same. Considering my worth, I'm also considered valuable."
Jiao Er said sincerely, "If it's about to be exposed, can I make some money? As the old saying goes, good things should be kept within the family."
Tao Zi watched them discussing this matter and exchanged a tacit glance with Wuyan.
Cheng Wuchou noticed the interaction between them, raised his eyebrows, and looked Wuyan up and down.
Wuyan was silent for a moment, then sent a message to Tao Zi: "You'd better tell your brother about the situation."
As a junior who is only slightly older than Cheng Anran, Li Xiu has always been outside the discussion group.
At this moment, he also noticed the interaction between Tao Zi, Wu Yan and Cheng Wuchou. He couldn't help but ponder it for a moment, and then he felt lighter.
It's easy to imagine that these people must have a solution, and he just needs to wait for orders.
After Cheng Wuchou had almost understood the situation, the discussion had shifted from the serious topic of how to conceal their identities to how to use Yue Qingya's identity as the son of destiny to trick a Heavenly Master into helping them fight.
It was obvious that Yue Qingya was helpless, so helpless that he simply quit the discussion, but the others became more and more excited as they talked.
He looked at Tao Zi silently, signaling her to quickly take control of the situation.
Tao Zi looked at the people who were obviously joking, made a helpless expression to him, and then continued to watch their imaginative discussion.
When they finally stopped, Tao Zi said, "I have an idea."
Everyone gathered around in a flash.
At the same time, inside the Chunqiu Sect, Qiu Xin was standing in front of the Sect Leader, with Shao Hua standing beside him.
The head of the Chunqiu Sect sat at the head and said, "I don't know as much as Shaohua about those things."
Qiu Xin was much more respectful than Shao Hua and said, "Did the Sword Sect reveal anything to the Sect Master?"
The Sect Master closed his eyes wearily, leaning back and no longer looking at the two men below him. "I'm already exhausted just by eliminating those 'people' within the sect. How could I have the energy to even go to the Sword Sect? Shaohua, you shouldn't have left back then. I'm just mediocre to begin with."
Shao Hua said coldly, "If I don't leave, will those 'people' reveal their true intentions?"
Looking at his aggressive sister, the head of the sect could only smile bitterly and remain silent.
In the past, Shaohua was not like this. It was all because he was too incompetent that he left all those dirty things to her to deal with, which ruined her reputation and changed her personality.
Shaohua took a deep breath, his expression calmed down again, and said, "Brother, maybe it's time for you to step down."
Qiu Xin's expression changed, and he subconsciously said, "Master, I will take my leave first."
“No need.”
The one who responded to the call of "Master" was not the headmaster, but Shaohua.
The headmaster sighed softly, looked at Qiu Xin, and said, "Xin Xin, your training should be over."
Then, he looked at his sister and said, "What do you need me to do? What else can I do?"
"We should gamble when we need to. The Chunqiu Sect cannot remain silent forever."
The head and Qiu Xin didn't quite understand what Shaohua said, but that wasn't important. What was important was the next sentence.
"Xin, contact the Sword Sect and inform them that you will visit them as the head of the Spring and Autumn Sect within three months at the latest. By then, we hope they will be more honest. If not, we will conduct our own investigation. The Spring and Autumn Sect will not be responsible for any consequences of this investigation."
Shaohua looked into the distance: "I still have some clues about those things."
