Chapter 408: Remains of the Zhou General (20)
In a flash, Tao Zi arrived near the general's mansion. There was no one around, not even a ghost.
The spiritual energy of the Golden Elixir Great Perfection attacked her. She used her spiritual sense to block this wave of attack, stabbed the dagger with her backhand, and turned to look at the man.
The woman was wearing a mask, and underneath the mask were a pair of familiar snake eyes.
Tao Zi abruptly changed the direction of the dagger, and the blade brushed past her shoulder.
The woman showed no appreciation and launched another spiritual attack.
She didn't dodge and took the attack directly.
As Tao Zi groaned, the woman stopped attacking and stared at her, not knowing whether she was happy or sad. She said, "Yue Qiran, you're great."
She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a smile, and said in a gentle tone: "Qingling, it's been a long time since we last met. Don't be so irritable."
Jiu Qingling, the junior sister of Jiuzhuanmen, was born with a pair of snake eyes and is Yue Qiran's best friend.
When she heard Tao Zi admit her identity, she relaxed for a moment, but then angrily said, "If I hadn't come to the Zhou General's Ruins on a whim, were you planning to keep it a secret from me?!"
Tao Zi whispered, "Qingling, I can trust you, but I can't trust the Nine Turns Gate. You don't have anyone else with you, right?"
Jiu Qingling still looked unhappy and said, "I sneaked out and no one noticed."
"What was that move you just made to take me away?"
She replied, "It's the sect's quasi-immortal weapon, used to escape and protect myself."
Tao Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
Jiu Qingling's eyes were like ice, and paired with those snake eyes, they were even more terrifying. She asked, "How long have you been alive?"
"I don't know, but I guess I've never really died."
Jiuqing Lingqi laughed: "Yue Qiran, now is not the time to joke!"
"It's true. I've lost a lot of my memory and I'm not sure about a lot of things."
She frowned and asked, "Which part of the memory?"
"I'm not sure. It's too scattered. Some of it was erased by others, and some of it was erased by myself."
Jiu Qingling took a deep breath and raised her voice slightly. "Then you should know who framed you. Xu Qianjia, He Qianyi, Lan Yongji, or that mentally ill Lian Qingzhou? Or maybe all of them?"
Tao Zi remained silent.
"Just answer it!"
"Qingling, without that person's tacit consent, who could dump such dirty water on me?"
Jiu Qingling was stunned for a moment, closed her eyes, and quickly regained her composure. She said, "This is not the place to talk. I'll go ask Qingya."
Compared to Qiu Huanhuan, she is obviously more rational and can make the most accurate decision in just a few seconds.
Watching his friend use a quasi-immortal weapon to break through the void and leave, and then looking at the evil ghosts that suddenly appeared around him with eager eyes, Tao Zi held his forehead. Fortunately, those powerful ghosts were attracted away by Wang Xu and the others, so he didn't get into too much trouble.
Not long after, Cheng Wuchou and the others also came over.
Xi Jing rushed over first, looked her up and down, and asked, "Senior Sister, are you okay?"
Tao Zi patted her head and said, "It's okay, don't worry."
Cheng Wuchou looked particularly unhappy and asked directly, "Who is that person?"
"A good friend, of a somewhat impulsive nature."
His expression was very gloomy: "Straight away, robbing someone, is this impulsive?"
She knew that her brother was really scared this time, and it was not easy to say anything more. She could only say, "Brother, let's go back quickly to avoid any more trouble."
The group hurried back. When they arrived at the inn, midnight had just ended. Wangxu and others had also returned. They had set up a formation outside the inn to intercept evil spirits to ensure the safety of the inn.
Tao Zi glanced around and didn't see Qiu Xuanhuan, so she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Yue Qingya acted calmly and walked forward with a smile, "Tao Zi, have you seen Xuan Huan?"
Tao Zi shook her head and said, "I haven't seen Fellow Daoist Qiu yet. What's wrong?"
He sighed, a look of worry on his face, and said, "They said that Shaohua Jushi took Huan Huan away. I'm really worried."
Wang Xu said helplessly: "Brother Yue, the layman will never harm Fellow Daoist Qiu, you can rest assured."
Yue Qingya still looked worried. After all, according to the original situation, he didn't know the relationship between Qiu Huanhuan and Shao Hua.
Several cultivators from the Spring and Autumn Sect exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward and said, "Master Yue, the layman's temperament is unpredictable, but he certainly won't harm Junior Brother. Master, you can rest assured."
He asked, “Why?”
The monks were silent and did not answer this question. After all, it was the master who personally expelled Shaohua from the sect and severed the brother-sister relationship. How could they dare to say anything?
This is also the reason why Shaohua must enter the ruins. Only if she takes people away will no one doubt Qiu Huanhuan's whereabouts. Even if they doubt it, they dare not ask.
Tao Zi watched quietly from the side without saying a word.
At this time, Qiu Huanhuan and Shao Hua walked into the inn, accompanied by Jiu Qingling.
The mask on her face had been taken off, and her face was as beautiful and graceful as her name, but she had a pair of snake eyes, which made her look a little weird.
Wang Xu was surprised by Jiu Qingling's appearance, but still greeted her: "Junior Sister Qingling."
Jiu Qingling nodded politely and said, "Young Master Wang."
Cheng Luo lazily sat on the chair and said, "Junior Sister Xiaojiu, you don't seem to have reached the Nascent Soul stage yet, so why did you run out?"
The entire inn fell silent. Everyone knew that Jiu Qingling had been forced into seclusion because of a conflict with Yue Qiran's sect. But Cheng Luo was the only one who dared to mention it in front of everyone.
Jiu Qingling sneered and attacked with the two maces in his hands, but Cheng Luo quickly dodged.
After a few moves, Cheng Luo was suppressed.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Jiu Qingling was slightly stronger, but no one would think that Cheng Luo could not beat Jiu Qingling. After all, he did not use his real weapon - the mecha.
Yue Qingya said at this time: "Qingling, stop first."
Jiu Qingling snorted and stopped.
But Cheng Luo asked again, as if he was asking for a beating: "Come to think of it, it seems that the only one missing now is Yue Qiran. The four of you were famous friends back then, but it's a pity that we can't get together anymore."
This time, even Yue Qingya stopped trying to persuade them, and the three of them attacked together.
Seeing the Xujia Sect disciples fighting with these three people, Cheng Wuchou's smile deepened. He finally understood where the personal grudge between his sister and Cheng Luo came from.
Fortunately, the elders of Xujia Sect and Chunqiu Sect had not found this place yet, so the fight was not too intense and was within the controllable range of Tiandao Sect, and was quickly suppressed.
Among these people, the only one who was injured was Jiu Qingling. For some reason, the disciples of Xujiamen just attacked her collectively. Fortunately, Qiu Huanhuan was quite strong and she recovered quickly.
Looking at Jiu Qingling who had recovered as before, Cheng Luo turned his head slightly and glanced at Cheng Wuchou who was not far away. He lowered his eyes, still looking nonchalant and irritating.
