Chapter 578: Ending
Tao Zi returned to the wasteland, and the first thing he did was to fall into a coma.
The fainting happened so suddenly that Cheng Anran and others who came to greet him were scared to death.
When she woke up, Cheng Wuchou was by her side.
She ignored Cheng Wuchou's attempts to stop her, forced herself to sit up, and asked, "How is it?"
Cheng Wuchou knew what she was asking, and reluctantly helped her sit down before saying, "It's been a lot of arguing, and there's still no result. The Heavenly Lord of Stopping Killings hasn't said anything."
Tao Zi looked at Cheng Wuchou in confusion, and took the warm water handed to her by Xing Zhan.
Seeing her eyes, Cheng Wuchou explained in more detail:
"Congtian was seen as colluding with alien races, and because of this, the entire Tiandao Sect was under suspicion. Xiyan stepped forward to shoulder the heavy burden and block out the voices of those who questioned him.
"But some people also mentioned that Congtian used his power to seize the opportunity and demanded that the Tiandao Sect make concessions. Xiyan is currently engaged in a tug-of-war with them.
"Some people occasionally suggest that it's a waste for Congtian to die like that, but Qiu Huanhuan and the others directly retort."
Tao Zi raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "Only occasionally?"
At that time, her original plan was to trap Congtian and then transfer his cultivation. In this process, there would definitely be more than one person who would benefit, but she directly killed Congtian and ruined the plan.
Now, it was only mentioned occasionally? And when she wasn't around?
Cheng Wuchou said: "In their eyes, you killed Congtian so lightly that they dare not mention you too much. After all, the fall of the two Tianzun is inextricably linked to you."
Tao Zi wanted to laugh a little, but held it back.
How could this be an understatement? If Congtian had not fallen into the devil's trap, if he had lacked the protection of his master, if the reaction of the Heavenly Dao had been deviated, if the Hammer Spirit could not kill the Heavenly Venerable, she would not have been able to kill Congtian even if she died.
Cheng Wuchou added, "The situation is finally getting better. Xi Yan is now the leader of the Tiandao Sect, Qiu Xin is the leader of the Chunqiu Sect, Jiu Qingling has a say in the Jiuzhuan Sect, the Jian Sect has always been an ally, and the Yi Nian Sect is even more important. You can relax now and have a good rest. You don't have to be so tense anymore."
Tao Zi smiled and said yes.
But for some reason, she felt even more tired, and even more confused.
Next, besides practicing, what else should she do? What else can she do?
Where will the disaster of Xi Jing and others end?
Even though the problem of Congtian was solved, the feeling of powerlessness became more and more severe.
Xing Zhan looked at the eldest senior sister and retreated quietly.
Although Cheng Wuchou noticed something was wrong, he didn't know what the symptoms meant.
Three days later, Tao Zi was still recovering from her injuries. Even if it was just the aftermath of a thunderbolt, it was an unbearable injury for her.
As for the hammer spirit, it had been quiet for a long time. Even when she called out "Hammer Hammer", it was too weak to curse. At most, it would vibrate once or twice when she called out "Hammer" to show its protest.
For this reason, Tao Zi also decided on the new name of Chui Ling.
After all, a new life always has a new beginning.
Just as she was playing with the hammer every day, Xing Zhan came hurriedly from somewhere, with the lingering smell of blood on his body.
Tao Zi's expression straightened up and she asked, "Where did you come from? What happened?"
"Senior Sister, the alien race launched a massive attack three days ago, and Xingfeng fell in the early morning of the day before yesterday. I went to check on the situation yesterday, and only found time to rush back today."
Tao Zi's expression suddenly turned cold, and she asked, "Why are you saying this now?"
Xing Zhan stopped and said, "Senior Sister wasn't in good condition a few days ago, and..."
Before he could finish his words, Cheng Wuchou walked in through the door and said, "Execution!"
Well, she knew what to add.
"Brother, I deserve to know these things."
Cheng Wuchou sighed helplessly and said, "First, your physical condition is very poor and you need to rest; second, all the mortals who can be saved have been rescued."
Tao Zi knew that her brother meant well, but she didn't need this kind of hidden kindness.
Seeing her expression, Cheng Wuchou changed his tone and said, "You can rest for another day, and we will set off tomorrow?"
Tao Zi looked at Xing Zhan, who said, "The battle situation is terrible, but it is indeed stable."
Hearing this, she looked at Xing Zhan again and nodded in agreement.
After both of them left the room, Tao Zi closed her eyes and gathered her strength, trying to recover faster.
Outside the yard, Cheng Wuchou's face darkened and he said to Xing Zhan, "Come to my yard."
Xing Zhan followed quietly.
After arriving at the place, Cheng Wuchou did not relax and opened his mouth: "You should know very well that Xingfeng's fall happened in an instant. Whether Ah Zi knows it or not will not make any difference. What she needs most now is rest. You shouldn't speak at this time."
Xing Zhan looked at him and his first words were, "Cheng Zhenjun, first of all, I only obey orders from Senior Sister Yu. You shouldn't give me orders."
Second sentence: "Secondly, although you are my elder brother, your understanding of me is far inferior to mine."
Cheng Wuchou frowned and looked at him: "Do you think running around is good for your senior sister?"
"Spirit is very important. Senior Sister needs a goal."
The hated alien race and the mortals she once protected, these two things are enough to become the new motivation for the senior sister.
Cheng Wuchou understood instantly, but held a different opinion: "What to do and what should be done should be decided by Ah Zi herself, rather than being forced by others."
Xing Zhan looked at him intently, and finally said, "Cheng Zhenjun, Senior Sister hates aliens. Besides, even if we get there, it's still Senior Sister's decision what to do. You're hiding all this, thinking you're doing Senior Sister good, but it will only make her resentful."
After saying that, Xing Zhan turned around and left, not wanting to talk anymore.
Cheng Wuchou stood there without saying a word, when suddenly a figure flashed behind him.
Cheng Wuchou said without even turning his head, "Senior Ti, you've already scared a lot of people."
Senior Ti Piao calmly returned to normal and said, "Wu Chou, judging from Tao Zi's personality, Xing Zhan's choice was the wise one. On the contrary, you are a little too concerned and confused."
Cheng Wuchou remained silent.
Senior Ti Piao continued slowly, "She has always been pushed forward. In the past, it was by the Ming Lan Sect, and then it was revenge. Now, I can't see clearly. I understand your thoughts. You think this is wrong. She should have thought before choosing a path. But, without hatred, there is no so much right and wrong. Everything is a coincidence. What's more..."
Senior Ti Piao paused, his voice even softer, "Under an overturned nest, there are no eggs left unbroken. With the war imminent, she won't have time to think."
Cheng Wuchou smiled bitterly and said, "I took it for granted."
Senior Ti Piao's figure gradually became transparent and disappeared: "It's normal to be confused when you're concerned. It's too normal."
Cheng Wuchou stood there alone for a while, and finally walked towards Tao Zi's yard.
He needs to apologize for his previous decision to conceal the truth.
