Waking up from a dream
The scene in front of Xiao Ze gradually became blurred and began to collapse.
He slowly opened his eyes, his head still a little dizzy. Then he felt something heavy falling on his hand, and Xiao Ze suddenly woke up.
Looking at Su Qingjun who was frowning beside him, he was about to wake up.
Xiao Ze quickly got out of bed and skillfully cleared all the barriers and formations, disappearing without a trace before Su Qingjun woke up.
Su Qingjun slowly woke up on the bed, and her previous memories gradually returned: they came to Shucheng to destroy the Soul Devouring Hall.
So everything I just experienced was a dream.
So it turned out that it was all a dream from the moment I met Xiao Ze in Shucheng?
wrong.
He clearly remembered that when the people around him fell down one after another, they were on a street. He could not use any spiritual power at that time, so it was impossible for him to come to this room.
Still lying in bed peacefully.
So, what I saw when I fainted was really Xiao Ze!
Without time to think about what happened in the dream, Su Qingjun walked out of the room and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Xiao Ze must have his own reasons for bringing me here.
As expected, when Su Qingjun was flying over Wutongju on his sword, he keenly noticed something was wrong.
landing.
After carefully surveying every blade of grass and tree around, Su Qingjun finally discovered that the entire Wutong Residence was a huge formation.
It seems that this formation is the reason why the monks from various sects fell into a coma.
Just find the center of the formation and break it.
But Su Qingjun has never been good at formations, so finding the center of the formation is really a problem.
But he believed that Xiao Ze would leave clues.
Carefully searching every inch of land, a strange pattern came into view.
Su Qingjun really couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.
A few small blades of grass formed a circle, with stones scattered outside the circle, making it look like a simple and strange sun.
Only Xiao Ze could make such a mark.
After finding the center of the formation, Su Qingjun held the sword in his right hand, concentrated his spiritual power, and swung the sword to chop it down.
Xiao Ze had already weakened the protective barrier at the center of the formation, and Su Qingjun attacked with all his might. After a crisp cracking sound, the center of the formation shattered, and the formation began to gradually disintegrate.
The scattered light floated over Wutongju.
The dream formations are linked together, if one is broken, the others will become ineffective.
The people who had fainted gradually woke up. They saw an unusually bright light in the sky. Everyone rushed there without stopping, fearing that they would miss the place where the Soul Devouring Hall members were gathering.
When he arrived, he only saw Su Qingjun and the mess in the yard after the formation was broken.
"Elder Su, what's going on?"
"This should be the formation set up by the Soul-Devouring Hall in advance. Everyone fainted because of this formation. I happened to discover it and thought of trying to break it. I didn't expect it to really work." Su Qingjun replied.
The others wanted to ask Su Qingjun whether he had found any trace of the Soul Devouring Hall people, but they saw two signal fireworks exploding on the west city wall.
Without saying anything more, they all hurried to the west city wall.
Su Qingjun was no exception, and even arrived before the other elders.
He didn't know what Xiao Ze's plans were and why he was still unwilling to return to Tianxuan Sect, but if Xiao Ze was there, he could at least protect Xiao Ze if he went there.
Before reaching the city wall, we heard the sound of fierce fighting.
Surrounded by disciples from various sects were the Soul Devouring Hall members wearing black clothes and black masks.
Su Qingjun could tell at a glance that one of the agile people was Xiao Ze.
When everyone else rushed forward to try to capture the evildoer alive, Su Qingjun just stood on the periphery and did not take any action, pretending to be weak due to a relapse of his serious injury. The others could not say anything.
Su Qingjun was full of anxiety at this time. Under the siege of everyone, the possibility of Xiao Ze escaping was visibly slim.
What exactly should he do to help Xiao Ze?
————
Xiao Ze had just found a place to hide when Su Qingjun discovered the mark he left behind and broke the formation.
After the formation was broken, Xiao Ze received a notification from others: the plan failed, and he should leave Shucheng quickly.
Xiao Ze didn't dare to delay at all. If he was discovered, he would probably be killed on the spot.
I thought that most of the cultivators were attracted to Wutongju by the light rising into the sky, so they quickly fled on their swords.
But they didn't know that the cunning righteous monks had already arranged special people to guard the city gate.
Seeing more and more people coming over, Xiao Ze felt a little helpless. Is this the end of his undercover career?
While fighting with others, he saw Su Qingjun standing on the edge, with no intention of taking action.
Could it be that the old injury has recurred?
The two men's eyes met across the chaotic crowd. Xiao Ze panicked for a moment, then quickly focused on dealing with the trouble in front of him.
Even though Xiao Ze is now in the Nascent Soul stage, he cannot withstand the siege of several Nascent Soul cultivators. A spiritual power came towards him, and Xiao Ze barely dodged it, but the mask on his face was shattered by the spiritual power.
"Is this, Xiao Ze?" A disciple of Tianxuan Sect recognized Xiao Ze in the crowd.
"You've indeed defected to the Soul Devouring Hall! Are you doing this to your sect?"
The righteous cultivators were already furious because they were caught off guard and fell flat on their faces. Now they learned that the person who set the trap was actually a member of the Tianxuan Sect. Their hatred soared, and all their attacks were directed at Xiao Ze at once.
The pressure from the Nascent Soul cultivator came overwhelmingly from behind them. The group was shocked and stopped attacking Xiao Ze, turning to deal with the threat behind them.
The person standing behind them is Su Qingjun?
Su Qingjun held up his sword and said with a half-smile, "You guys are so focused on the beginning that you didn't even notice the evil cultivator running behind you."
Everyone was speechless as they looked at the evil Jindan cultivator who was killed by a sword on the ground: A Jindan cultivator didn't need to make such a big noise.
Xiao Ze looked at the commotion Su Qingjun made and realized that he was trying to save himself. In just a few short months, he had already reached the perfect Nascent Soul stage. No wonder he was a famous genius in the original book.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to escape, but Jiang Xi, who always ran away and hid when encountering problems, suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ze and blocked his way.
"Xiao Ze wants to run!" Jiang Xi's voice attracted everyone's attention.
Su Qingjun wished he could kill Jiang Xi with one sword.
Xiao Ze was also stunned. Even if Jiang Xi hated him, he had at least saved his life twice. This was how he repaid his savior?
"Xiao Ze, you should have thought that you would end up like this the moment you joined the Soul Devouring Hall!" Tu Sihua said righteously.
If Xiao Ze could die at his hands this time, Jiang Xi might like him a little more, Tu Sihua thought secretly, and tightened the sword in his hand.
Su Qingjun's brows were filled with anger. He walked up to Xiao Ze, turned around, and said to the other people from the sect, "Xiao Ze is a member of the Tianxuan Sect. If anyone wants to deal with him, it should be his master and the head of the Tianxuan Sect who should deal with him."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone retorted: "Then how do I know if you will protect this traitor to righteousness?"
Su Qingjun glanced over and saw the disciple who had spoken shrink his head. He said coldly: "Didn't the undercover agents discovered by the various sects not be dealt with publicly? How do I know if you are sheltering these undercover agents?"
This was said bluntly. Although the others could not refute it, they already understood Su Qingjun's intention to save Xiao Ze.
This is to make enemies with all the monks present.
The two sides are in a standoff, and neither is willing to back down.
But from the look on the other side, Xiao Ze didn't think they were afraid that the Tianxuan Sect would protect them, but rather that they were afraid that the Tianxuan Sect would not share the information they got out of his mouth with other sects.
Everyone has their own plans.
He had to find a way to escape as soon as possible. If he escaped on the way back to the sect by Su Qingjun, it would cause a lot of trouble for Su Qingjun.
If only there was a tunnel, I could escape from the city through it right now.
Also, once he escapes, I will put Jiang Ge in a sack and beat him up.
Xiao Ze was getting angry, but a steady voice came from his mind: "It was you in my dream, right?"
Xiao Ze's brain froze as he looked at the figure standing in front of him: How could this person ask such a question in this situation?
Xiao Ze didn't answer for a long time, and Su Qingjun's voice came again: "Even if you don't admit it, I know it's you."
Xiao Ze didn't want to answer. He felt that his acting skills had reached a very superb level and he didn't reveal any flaws. How could Su Qingjun be so sure that it was him who entered his dream?
"Su Qingjun, do you want us to go against you to the end today?" The elder of the Beast Taming Sect was furious.
Xiao Ze only felt a force pulling his legs. He only had time to say "Hmm?" before he disappeared on the spot.
The word "yes" that Su Qingjun was about to say was interrupted, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them in shock and confusion.
The Beast Taming Sect elder stepped forward and questioned Su Qingjun: "What tricks did you play? Where did you take Xiao Ze?!"
"Elder Liu's cultivation is more solid than mine. If I were to play any tricks, would you be able to see through it?"
Everyone was speechless. They indeed saw that when Xiao Ze disappeared, Su Qingjun didn't even move.
After Xiao Ze disappeared, he also had a shocked expression, so it should not have been him who did it.
Several other evil cultivators were killed in the fight, and some committed suicide when they saw they could not escape.
In general, Zhengdao suffered a great loss in this action.
Some people left Shucheng directly, while some people did not give up and began to search for Xiao Ze's whereabouts.
Su Qingjun also decided to summon the people from Tianxuan Sect back to the sect. Although he really wanted to find Xiao Ze now, if he brought everyone from the sect to look for him, it would be a manhunt for Xiao Ze.
Just as they were about to launch the gathering fireworks, Jiang Xi took two steps forward and said, "Senior Su, you've only been trying to protect Xiao Ze from the beginning to the end. Whether it was killing that evil Jindan cultivator or bringing him back to the sect."
Su Qingjun remained silent, just looking at Jiang Xi, wanting to hear what he was going to say next.
Seeing that Su Qingjun didn't refute him, Jiang Xi knew he was right and became even more angry. "Xiao Ze has already joined the Soul Devouring Hall. He is their lackey and a traitor to the righteous path. Even so, do you still like him, Senior Brother? Like him enough to be willing to become the enemy of the entire righteous path for him?"
Su Qingjun frowned and said in a cold tone, "I killed the evil Jindan cultivator because he planned a sneak attack. I said I wanted to bring Xiao Ze back to the sect so that Master and Elder Xing could deal with him personally. Besides, it's not your turn to question me about who I like or dislike."
"Also, Jiang Xi, Xiao Ze risked his life to save you so many times, and this is how you repay him? You're truly repaying kindness with enmity. It's terrifying to hear and disgusting to see."
After Su Qingjun finished speaking, he ignored the shocked Jiang Xi and looked at Tu Sihua who was standing beside him: "Are you going back to the sect?"
"Elder Su, can I stay here and keep Xiao Xi company?"
"Okay, I will inform your master that you are voluntarily withdrawing from the Tianxuan Sect." Su Qingjun turned and left after saying this.
The gathering fireworks were set off only when we reached a place where the gracilaria could no longer be seen.
After the gathering, everyone set off to return to the sect. Unexpectedly, Tu Sihua did not come. No one knew what kind of magic potion Jiang Xi had given him to make him so devoted.
Su Qingjun stood on the sword with a stern look on his face. Everyone else stayed away from him, not daring to offend him.
This person, who had always been a gentle role model in their sect, became like this after returning from a trip to Taiping City. He went from being approachable to someone who kept strangers away.
One of Su Qingjun's hands was covered by a wide sleeve, and in her hand was a small object that looked like a wooden token.
This is Xiao Ze’s life card.
Only by touching it and knowing that it was intact could Su Qingjun feel at ease.
At least, Xiao Ze is still alive.
