Chapter 283 Banquet (2)
Tao Zi lay down on the bed and said in a hoarse voice, "Water."
Xi Jing hurriedly fetched some water.
After a busy period, the room became quiet.
Cheng Wuchou suddenly made a gesture and asked in a voice transmission, "What did you mean by that gesture just now?"
Tao Zi mouthed, "Retreat."
He continued to transmit: "I guessed that was what he meant, so I came here on my own initiative."
Considering his Nascent Soul status, this statement of acting on his own initiative was already considered polite.
Tao Zi continued to look at him. It was really painful not to be able to communicate.
Cheng Wuchou turned his head, laughed dumbly, and said in a voice transmission: "That action is very natural. I just thought it was strange that you were always drinking, so I became suspicious."
She breathed a sigh of relief and closed her eyes to rest.
Xi Jing sat there looking at her senior sister in confusion, but didn't dare to ask.
Half an hour later, Cheng Wuchou whispered, "Those people in the dark have retreated."
Xi Jing was startled by these words - someone was watching them?
Tao Zi opened her eyes and stood up, looking at him with bright eyes.
Suddenly, a cultivator who looked exactly like Cheng Wuchou appeared beside him. With another wave of his hand, another "Tao Zi" appeared.
Tao Zi lay down on the bed and pretended to sleep. He whispered, "It's hard to tell the truth from the fake below the Nascent Soul stage, but this trick can only last for an hour."
"That's enough." Tao Zi looked at Xi Jing and said, "Xi Jing, Senior Sister needs to go out for something important."
Xi Jing nodded repeatedly and said, "Senior Sister, please go out. I will cover it up."
Cheng Wuchou looked at her and said, "This clone has three levels of my spiritual power and will protect you."
Xi Jing nodded vigorously: "Yeah."
The two of them sneaked out quietly.
At this time, the formation protecting Jianshan was glowing. The eight elders of the Sword Sect stood near the formation, and the sect leader stood in front with a solemn expression.
Someone whispered, "Master, the time has come."
He ordered expressionlessly: "Open the hidden formation and catch the turtle in the jar."
The hidden array is hidden under the transfer array. Once it is opened, one can only enter but not exit. Only the leader of the Sword Sect knows how to break the hidden array.
An elder's expression changed: "Master, once the hidden formation is activated, the transfer formation will be destroyed and it will be difficult to set it up again."
Even if some elders raised objections, the disciples of the Sword Sect still stepped forward to open the hidden formation.
"No matter how difficult it is, we can set it up again, but if the aliens escape, I don't know which disciple will suffer."
Watching the Sword Sect's leader and three elders sneak into the hidden formation, Tao Zi, who was standing far away, finally dared to breathe a sigh of relief and whispered, "The fact that the Sect Leader has taken action means that this situation is unusual."
Cheng Wuchou said with a serious expression, "I heard it."
"Um?"
"It's the alien race causing trouble."
Tao Zi also became serious. The alien race that could make the Mahayana cultivator so cautious must have an unusual origin.
He added, "It has to happen today. I'm afraid it has something to do with the monks who attended the banquet."
Cheng Wuchou's expression suddenly grew stern, and he said, "Fellow Daoist Yue came to find us, and Wangxu followed him, but he obscured our perception."
After all, he is the young master of the Sword Sect. Even if he is a Golden Core, he still needs to be vigilant.
Tao Zi frowned: "There's no need for Wang Xu to come."
"Yue Qingya sent a message to my clone, saying that every cultivator who left the meeting would be visited by a disciple of the Sword Sect. Perhaps because I am a Nascent Soul, Wang Xu came here in person."
She exhaled slowly and whispered, "The Sword Sect is doing its final big cleanup, and the bait is the things in Sword Mountain."
Cheng Wuchou looked at her in surprise and asked, "Do you know about the existence of fake demons?"
Tao Zi simply said, "I've encountered this before."
"So that's how it is. My Cheng family also had one, and only after moving to the Sword Sect did we learn about the situation."
They didn't say anything else and continued to focus on the situation on Jianshan.
Suddenly, Cheng Wuchou's spiritual sense covered her, and they both became invisible at the same time.
Several monks hurried past them.
Tao Zi narrowed her eyes and whispered, "The second place in the Foundation Establishment Stage and the third place in the Xuanzhao Stage."
He was stunned for a moment and praised: "Good memory."
Not long after, Qiu Xuanhuan, Yue Qingya and Wang Xu also appeared here, and even Qiu Xuanxin, Qian Xuanhua and others came.
Qiu Xuanhuan's angry voice rang out: "Such a big thing, and you actually hid it from us."
Wang Xu sighed and said, "The fake demon is too well-informed. The Sword Sect has no choice but to conceal this action. Everyone, we will stay here to prevent the aliens from escaping. Remember, Jindan requires two people to travel together. The aliens who have returned this time are not ordinary."
Jiu Qingyue narrowed his eyes and said, "Is the fake demon really related to the alien race? Are those people in the Demon Palace crazy?!"
"Currently, there must be some. The Sect Master has already sent people to the Demon Palace to investigate."
Qiu Xuanhuan snorted, as if laughing at them for only caring about the Demon Palace and not caring about the dirty deeds of the Minglan Sect.
Wang Xu continued, "This time, the Demon Palace is causing chaos purely for its own selfish reasons. We must not take it lightly."
This was an explanation to Qiu Huanhuan and even Yue Qingya.
After the Jindan and Jiuqingyue had left, Yue Qingya looked at Wangxu and said, "If a war breaks out, won't the Demon Palace attack the aliens? In front of the aliens, what's the difference between the Minglan Sect and the Demon Palace?"
Wangxu understood what he meant and remained silent.
"Young Master, there are some things that you and I know very well, so don't treat Xuan Huan as a fool."
Wang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought of that."
"What does your sect leader say?"
He whispered, "The Demon Palace has no Heavenly Venerable-level demon cultivators, and its reputation is also poor. Even if the matter is exposed, it will not hinder its efforts to deal with the alien race, and it is unlikely to shake people's hearts. Moreover, what the Demon Palace did is truly abhorrent."
Yue Qingya sneered and said, "What about the tragic deaths of those mortals? In the final analysis, it was just that the Demon Palace hindered the interests of your Sword Sect, but not the Minglan Sect."
Wang Xu was silent, not knowing what to say. After several seconds, he said, "The Sect Master is not that kind of person. I believe there are other reasons."
Yue Qingya stopped talking and watched Wangxu walk to another place.
After he walked away, Tao Zi and the others appeared.
Cheng Wuchou said slowly: "Why did I hear some incredible things?"
Tao Zi said: "Don't worry about so much, just sort out the current situation first."
The two of them looked at Yue Qingya at the same time. After a long while, he finally said, "Don't come out so suddenly next time. I almost took action."
Tao Zi asked, "What on earth is going on?"
He said, "After visiting you, Wang Xu told me the reason - an elder within the Sword Sect was corrupted by an alien race. At first, he thought it was a family scandal, but in the end he discovered that they were coming for Jianshan. So he set up a trap to lure those fake demons and hidden alien races out."
"Elder?"
Yue Qingya whispered, "Out-of-body stage."
The two of them were shocked and said in unison: "Even the Out-of-Body Stage has been eroded?"
