The night before the great battle.
The peach grove is still full of peach blossoms and vibrant colors, teeming with life.
Liao Kongmin led Ji Xiaoxiao silently through the formation and arrived at the Elders' Council without warning.
"Elder, it's been a long time."
Liao Kongmin didn't hide; he directly revealed his true colors.
"Tao Ban, you dare to come back?" Tao Hong glared angrily at Liao Kongmin.
"Why wouldn't I dare to come back? This is the home that gave me birth and raised me." If it weren't for the original owner's wish, do you think I would willingly wade into this mess, you old hag!
Liao Kongmin sneered inwardly.
"Since you know this is the home that gave you birth and nurtured you, why did you steal the thyme? For ten years, without thyme to ward off the zombies, Peach Blossom Spring has been plagued by them. The zombies have come seeking human flesh, piling up like sand into a tower, accumulating little by little until they become numerous. Outside the formation, there are only undead living beings with foul aura. The filth of corpses, death, resentment, and turbidity terrifies heaven and earth, and the formation's power has weakened day by day. In order to make the formation last longer, the people of the spring have killed countless enemies and fought against the formation. Peach Blossom Spring is facing a life-or-death crisis, all because of your selfishness. Tao Ban, you are ashamed to be a person of Peach Blossom Spring, as unworthy as the master of Peach Blossom Spring, as unworthy as…"
"Alright." Liao Kongmin waved his hand dismissively, saying, "There are only the two of us here. You don't need to put on this pretentious act, acting like a selfless saint, giving earnest advice. It disgusts me. Everyone knows who stole the thyme. I didn't say it outright at the time. Leaving Peach Blossom Spring was simply to seek an opportunity to break through my cultivation level. Elder, I am not a fool."
The mask was torn off, and the bloody truth was just a hair's breadth away from being revealed to the world.
“That day, that person really wasn’t you?” Tao Hong said.
Liao Kongmin smiled slightly and slowly sat down.
"Elder, do you think I have the ability to sneak into the heavily guarded Elder Council without alerting anyone? Or was it me ten years ago, when my cultivation level was far superior to yours, that I was able to take back the thyme from you unharmed?"
Liao Kongmin spoke with sincerity and from the bottom of his heart, “Yes, I do have the ability to sneak into the heavily guarded Elders’ Council without alerting anyone. My cultivation level is inferior to yours after ten years, and I escaped from your clutches half-dead.”
Tao Hong nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with Liao Kongmin's assessment.
If that's the case, then if the thief that night wasn't Liao Kongmin, then who was it?
Several figures flashed through Tao Hong's mind, but she shook her head and denied it.
"Elder, I haven't come here today to see you having an epileptic seizure, shaking your head and swaying. Peach Blossom Spring is facing a life-or-death crisis. Do you have a solution?"
"No." Her time was drawing near, and she was willing but unable to do anything about it.
"I do have a plan." Liao Kongmin paused, then continued, "But I am no longer a member of Peach Blossom Spring. To interfere in the affairs of Peach Blossom Spring without authorization would be like a dog catching a mouse, meddling in other people's business! Elder, don't you think that makes sense?"
At this critical juncture for Taohuyuan, everything is open to discussion.
"Tell me what you need."
With a wave of her hand, Tao Hong painted a rosy picture for Liao Kongmin.
...
A fiery dragon soared into the sky, the clouds burned, and the red light was dazzling.
"Old hag, when you ask for a favor, you should have the right attitude. Lower your stance, speak more pitifully, and don't put on airs. I'm not one of your Peach Blossom Spring people, and I don't put you first in everything."
Ji Xiaoxiao appeared out of nowhere, reached out and grabbed at the void, and the fire dragon turned into countless stars.
"You... where is that kid, Momoban?" Momo asked, trying to think of something else.
Momo-zaki? Momo-zaki is back?
"Master..." Tao Qian moved, her spiritual energy surging wildly.
"Shut up, calm your mind, and focus your energy," Tao Hong scolded.
The matter of passing on skills was of great importance, so Tao Qian reluctantly shut her mouth.
A loving mother and a filial son?
It looks quite professional!
Ji Xiaoxiao pouted, stepped to the side, and blocked Min Qiu's extremely predatory gaze.
"Min Qiu, it's been a long time. Do you remember me?"
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and greeted him familiarly.
"Who do you think you are? You're just a nobody. I'm not going to bother remembering you."
Just when everything seemed to be going well, a shrewd competitor suddenly appeared, infuriating Min Qiu.
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled, her bright and beautiful face shining brightly.
"Think about it again. I'm your closest comrade-in-arms."
Ji Xiaoxiao smiled brightly and emphasized the words "good comrade-in-arms".
Min Qiu carefully examined Ji Xiaoxiao's appearance and quickly flipped through his old memories, but still couldn't find a candidate who matched the options.
“I have never seen you before,” Min Qiu said calmly.
Wang Yan is dying and on the verge of death. Every second she spends arguing with him is wasting and depriving him of the time he has left.
No, no, that person is just talking nonsense.
Min Qiu flipped his hands, activating all five elemental abilities simultaneously.
"Turning your back on people like this, Min Qiu, I never thought you were this kind of person." Ji Xiaoxiao circulated her spiritual power, and a faint golden membrane stood in front of her. "Life-Giving Pill, Spring Vitality Pill, Five Elements Ability Cultivation Technique... I've helped you so much, and this is how you treat me? You wish I would just be wiped clean as soon as possible. Min Qiu, you are ungrateful. Have you even fed your conscience to the dogs?"
Life-Giving Pill? Spring Vitality Pill? Five Elements Ability Cultivation Technique?
"Are you the Post-Apocalyptic Strongman System?" Min Qiu asked in astonishment.
I never imagined that I would see the Post-Apocalyptic Strongman System in my lifetime.
Min Qiu's mind was in turmoil, revealing an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"It's time," Ji Xiaoxiao thought to herself.
Liao Kongmin, who had been lurking in the shadows, seized the opportunity and rushed forward at lightning speed.
"Clang."
The buzzing sound was deafening.
Min Qiu's right hand blocked in front, its dazzling gold glowing. The longsword couldn't advance an inch. Liao Kongmin gritted his teeth, muttered an incantation, and unleashed a raging fire.
