Zhou Qing frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Master Master will definitely choose to send reinforcements."
"Is it okay to go to a tiger mountain even though you know there is a tiger there? It's similar to what I guessed, but no one can tell what the specific situation is in the Qingyu Immortal Sect now. What if it's a self-torture trick? When we go in, the three of them will suddenly turn their spearheads and catch us in the trap. Wouldn't that be the end of us?" Yan Xiaohu said worriedly.
Zhou Qing nodded and did not rule out this possibility.
It can be seen what kind of psychological trauma the Qian Dafu incident has caused to the two of them.
But Zhou Qing had been bound to Fairy Xuanyou, and her opinion of him had always been mediocre. There was a 50% chance that he was not with Cang Yan Dao Palace.
Yan Xiaohu analyzed, "It's really hard to say. Didn't you say that Fairy Xuanyou only has a few years left to live? Maybe she's using this opportunity to ally with the Cang Yan Dao Palace and put our Taiqing Sect in trouble, just to force Senior Brother to come back."
Zhou Qing was stunned.
Yan Xiaohu slapped his thigh, his eyes shining as he said, "Really? Now that you've reached the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, she feels a sense of urgency, but no one can find you. She can only focus on the eldest brother who she believes has already reached the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head."
"When the time comes, once we catch Senior Brother, with her cultivation level at the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, it will be easy for her to give him some drugs. Didn't Senior Sister say that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people?"
"Otherwise, why do these things always happen to them? After participating in the Five Sects' Yibao Gathering, a large number of disciples disappeared, and the Palace Master of Cang Yan Dao Palace has been pursuing her for many years. This time, the mountain gate was even breached. Look—"
Zhou Qing smiled bitterly after hearing this, but did not refute.
At this critical moment, any ideas and opinions must be taken into consideration, even if they are unrealistic.
It was not until the next morning that Mo Xingjian came back with a tired face.
The two of them hurried forward again.
"Let's go in and talk!" said Mo Xingjian.
After entering the main hall, Mo Xingjian activated the soundproofing barrier and drank some water to moisten his throat before saying to the two, "The sect has decided to join forces with the Tianji Sect and head to the Qingyu Immortal Sect for assistance."
"Are they reliable?" Yan Xiaohu asked.
Mo Xingjian said, "What can we do if they're unreliable? Should we go to the Cang Yan Dao Palace? After the storage bag of Gu Tao, the head of the Mission Hall, was recovered, both sides had already come to a showdown, but it wasn't time to overturn the table yet."
"All we can do now is rely on the divination ability of the Tianji Sect to help us avoid those traps along the way. Let's see if we can reach the Qingyu Immortal Sect safely. At the very least, we need to rescue a group of people first."
That being said, it is indeed a solution.
Mo Xingjian continued, "Last night, the leader of the Tianji Sect quietly came over and spent a full night discussing with us. To be on the safe side, they planned two routes, one for light and one for darkness. It's supposed to be extremely confidential, but it's okay to share it with you. It's a good opportunity to help refine it."
But Zhou Qing seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly, "Master, has the leader of Tianji Sect left?"
Mo Xingjian was puzzled and said, "Not yet, but he will probably leave soon."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he quickly said, "Master, I want to see him."
Since the talent skill [Vision of the Heart] was promoted to the fourth level, there are four more binding spots. After much deliberation, I gave one of them to Elder Jiang Pu who guards the Soul Tower.
Unfortunately, his impression of himself was that of a "miser who was extremely unlucky after being overly cautious." The remarks were very long, but nothing could be seen.
There are still three places left. Since Taiqingmen has decided to cooperate with them, I might as well take this opportunity to take a look. This will make me feel more at ease.
Mo Xingjian shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Xuanjizi came here in secret, and few people know about it. If you go to see him, he will think that we are not sincere in our cooperation."
Putting himself in his shoes, Zhou Qing certainly understood that any disciple could see him, and you guys didn't take this cooperation seriously at all.
However, this matter now concerns the life and death of Taiqing Sect, and there is no room for carelessness.
Zhou Qing said firmly, "Master, I must see him, even if it's just for a short time. I want to see if I can smell something."
Mo Xingjian smiled helplessly: "What can you smell from this? Stop messing around, hurry up, I'll tell you about these two routes, maybe I'll need your help next..."
"Master, this is really important to me!" Zhou Qing grabbed Mo Xingjian's arm and begged.
Seeing Zhou Qing like this, Mo Xingjian's expression gradually became serious and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Are you sure? Just consider this as a way to reassure yourself. Even if Senior Xuanjizi feels this is disrespectful to him, will he end his cooperation with us? They have no choice but to rely on us now. At worst, I can apologize later."
Zhou Qing said firmly.
After a brief hesitation, Mo Xingjian had no choice but to agree.
"Alright then, follow me, Xiaohu, and gather all the trustworthy Jindan-level disciples!"
Mo Xingjian no longer hesitated and immediately stood up and gave the order.
Yan Xiaohu nodded repeatedly, and then Mo Xingjian took Zhou Qing straight to Shenyue Peak...
…………
Zhou Qing looked a little nervous, and kept looking at the hall in front of him, where his master and the headmaster were talking.
"No, I just saved your life yesterday. How could you turn against me so quickly? Ask him to help me calculate how my fourth brother can repair his golden elixir. Is it impossible? It won't take much time."
Mo Xingjian was directly treated as a tough guy, leaving Cao Zhengyang speechless.
Soon, Mo Xingjian was seen waving happily at Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing quickly ran over and saluted: "Greetings, Master Teacher."
Cao Zhengyang sighed: "You only have half an incense stick of time, we have to arrange for Xuanjizi to leave."
"Don't worry, it won't take too long!" After Zhou Qing said that, he hurriedly followed Mo Xingjian in.
Soon, he met Xuanjizi, the leader of Tianji Sect. He was an old man who looked like an immortal. He was wearing a white robe with the Bagua pattern printed on it. His face was thin and kind, and he exuded an extraordinary temperament.
At this moment, he seemed to be writing something in a hurry. When he saw Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian come in, he was about to say something, but suddenly he saw a young man following behind them, and his face changed slightly.
"Brother Cao, Brother Mo, who is this?" Xuanjizi frowned slightly, with a hint of obvious displeasure in his words, and then pointed at Zhou Qing and asked.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xuanjizi's reaction seemed like he didn't recognize him, but in his field of vision, the [???] sign was clearly hanging above his head.
Generally speaking, those who have not seen him have nothing.
It was obvious that Senior Xuanjizi was lying. He should have at least looked at his portrait specifically or even understood him.
Cao Zhengyang was a little embarrassed, but Mo Xingjian stepped forward and introduced, "Brother Xuan, this is my beloved disciple Zhou Qing. A year ago, his golden elixir was crushed by someone, so he had no choice but to embark on the path of body training. While you're here, I wanted to help see if there's any way to remedy the situation."
Zhou Qing immediately bowed, "Junior Zhou Qing, greetings to you, Senior. After the Five Sects' Yibao Gathering concluded, several disciples of the Qingyu Immortal Sect mysteriously disappeared. Following our master's orders, we went out to search for them. It was only because I noticed it in time and rescued Senior Sister Shi Zhen that I saved my fellow disciples from the Qingniu Ridge trap."
Upon hearing this, Xuanjizi's face suddenly showed realization. He couldn't help but smile and stroked his long beard as he said, "It's you. I remember now. I've heard of you before, but never seen you. It's a pity that your golden elixir is broken. It will be so difficult for you to embark on the path of cultivation again."
Xuanjizi shook his head and sighed. It was obvious that he had no way to deal with it.
Seeing this, Mo Xingjian was worried that he would start to check, and by then, the "Void Realm Dharma Image" might not be able to cover it up.
At this time, Zhou Qing was staring at Xuanjizi with burning eyes and immediately bound him.
Soon, the [???] sign above Xuanjizi's head changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into the six glaring and shocking characters [Damn you kid].
Seeing this scene, Zhou Qing's face suddenly changed, but he quickly forced himself to calm down, but his heart was still beating uncontrollably.
This Senior Xuanjizi and I have just met for the first time, why does he harbor such strong hostility towards me?
No, this is not ordinary hostility, it clearly contains a strong murderous intent!
Could it be that--
In an instant, Zhou Qing felt his throat become extremely dry.
What kind of interconnected chess game is hidden behind the incident of Qingyu Xianzong?
Which parties are behind this conspiracy?
"Is there really no other way?" At this moment, Cao Zhengyang couldn't help but ask again.
Xuanjizi shook his head again.
Seeing this, Cao Zhengyang helplessly looked at Mo Xingjian and Zhou Qing.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing had no choice but to bow to Xuanjizi and said, "Since that's the case, I'll trouble you, Senior. I'll take my leave now."
After saying this, he immediately turned around and left. After Mo Xingjian apologized for his crime, he hurriedly chased after him.
Cao Zhengyang looked at the two people's departing backs and could only sigh softly. Then he turned to look at Xuanjizi and said, "Brother Xuan, everything is almost ready over there. I will take you away now."
…………
On the Bagua plate, Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing, who was silent beside him, and couldn't help but jokingly said, "What's up? Did you smell anything?"
Zhou Qing then reviewed every scene that had happened, one by one. He then looked at Mo Xingjian with a serious expression and said solemnly, "Master, this Xuanjizi has murderous intentions towards me."
Mo Xingjian was stunned when these words came out. A look of suspicion appeared on his face, and he subconsciously retorted: "This... is impossible?"
Zhou Qing nodded and lied, "Master, ever since I broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, I've been able to keenly sense whether someone has good intentions or bad intentions towards me. Just now, I deliberately mentioned the incident at Qingniu Ridge. At that moment, Xuanjizi's murderous intent towards me reached its peak."
After hearing Zhou Qing's words, Mo Xingjian's expression suddenly became extremely solemn. He suddenly reached out and tightly grasped Zhou Qing's arm, asking anxiously, "The increase in the Nascent Soul stage? Are you sure this is true?"
Zhou Qing nodded without hesitation and replied, "I am certain of this, Master. Although we are still unclear about what is going on with the Jinlei Sect, I have a rather bold idea. Perhaps, the mysterious force we have been trying to identify is none other than the Tianji Sect."
When Mo Xingjian heard this, he felt a chill run down his back, as if a chill ran straight up his spine. "Can you stay?" Zhou Qing asked anxiously.
You have to know that this is the territory of Taiqing Sect. With the many masters in the sect, it is not difficult to keep the other party back even if only a few people are sent out.
Mo Xingjian swallowed hard and said with embarrassment, "How can we keep this? Will the Sect Master believe our words? Or should we break off relations with the Tianji Sect at this critical moment? What if he doesn't believe us?"
After hearing this, Zhou Qing also fell into silence.
Mo Xingjian patted Zhou Qing's shoulder and said seriously, "I will always believe your words, just like I am still on guard against Senior Brother Gao Xuan. But this matter is of great importance. I can't tell anyone else. You smelled it, right?"
"Or should I tell others that you are the one with four flowers gathered at the top of your head, and this is the increase in your Nascent Soul?"
Zhou Qing quickly said: "Master, this is not my Nascent Soul enhancement."
Afterwards, he no longer concealed the truth and told it to the emperor.
Mo Xingjian was completely stunned, and the expression on his face was extremely complicated at this moment.
Gulu swallowed and stammered, "Four... four kinds? You mean you have four..."
Zhou Qingzheng nodded.
Mo Xingjian suddenly burst into laughter, reached out and touched Zhou Qing's head affectionately, and said happily: "Well done, that's great!"
Zhou Qing smiled modestly, but soon straightened his expression and said, "Master, I feel that there's something strange about the Golden Thunder Sect. In comparison, our Taiqing Sect is much stronger than the Qingyu Immortal Sect."
"If the Cang Yan Dao Palace, Tian Ji Sect, and Jin Lei Sect could reach some kind of consensus, the combined strength of these three would be fully capable of launching a direct attack on our Tai Qing Sect."
"Although our Taiqing Sect's formation is incredibly strong, it can't withstand the successive attacks of so many Spiritual Transformation Realm masters, right? But why don't they do this? Instead, they go through such a big detour and cause so much trouble?"
Hearing Zhou Qing's series of doubts, Mo Xingjian couldn't help but look thoughtful.
Their previous perspective was that the Jinlei Sect and a mysterious force jointly attacked the Qingyu Xian Sect, and then deliberately lured them to rescue them, while the Cangyan Dao Palace set numerous traps along the way, and they had no choice but to cooperate with the Tianji Sect.
But now, after Zhou Qing's reminder, looking at it from another angle, this whole incident is indeed weird.
unless--
Mo Xingjian suddenly had an idea, and then he and Zhou Qing exchanged a glance. They both said almost at the same time, "Unless, the one attacking the Qingyu Immortal Sect isn't the Jinlei Sect at all!"
"What's the current situation of the Jinlei Sect?" Zhou Qing frowned and asked hurriedly.
Mo Xingjian said in a deep voice, "According to the information sent back so far, the Jinlei Sect's mountain gate has been sealed off."
"Blocked? That's interesting. Based on what we know, it was the Golden Thunder Sect that attacked the Azure Feather Immortal Sect. It makes sense that they've closed the mountain gate now. After all, since they've entered a wartime state, they're naturally wary of being cut off from their support. They're wary of us, and they might also be wary of their ally, the Cang Yan Dao Palace."
Zhou Qing said thoughtfully.
Mo Xingjian nodded slightly in agreement. "But now that we're looking at it from another angle, something seems amiss. Perhaps something happened within the Jinlei Sect, forcing them to close the gates. They're afraid others might take advantage of the situation or take advantage of their misfortune."
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then analyzed, "According to what Ji Ying and the others who escaped, the Qingyu Immortal Sect was attacked late at night due to a traitor colluding with the outside world, which caused the barrier to be broken. In other words, it happened in the early hours of yesterday morning. Did Xuanjizi come that night to seek our advice?"
Mo Xingjian nodded slightly and replied, "That's right."
Zhou Qing said, "Then can I understand it this way? Whether it's the Jinlei Sect encountering an unexpected situation or attacking the Qingyu Immortal Sect, the key is to fight quickly and decisively. If it takes too long, it will be easy to be exposed or something unexpected will happen."
"That's why Xuanjizi hurried over and invited us to provide reinforcements. Since the situation is urgent, we will definitely agree."
Mo Xingjian's eyes suddenly lit up, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "After your analysis, it seems to be true."
Soon, Zhou Qing seemed to have thought of something and asked hurriedly, "By the way, Master, what are the two routes that Xuanjizi has set for us this time?"
Mo Xingjian no longer held back and said, "According to what was said at the time, someone would definitely block our rescue efforts along the way. The first option is for Tianji Sect to find a group of people to pretend to be from Taiqing Sect and use the Heavenly Secret Technique to conceal their presence, misleading people into thinking they were reinforcements."
"Actually, the real reinforcements are on the second route. By taking a few more detours and with their assistance and avoiding traps, we should be able to successfully arrive. After all, the main firepower has been drawn there."
Zhou Qing asked, "Do you think this is a safe move? What if the Cang Yan Dao Palace ambushes us along the second route? We could have avoided it before, but now we've allowed the Tian Ji Sect to lead us into an ambush, and then stab us in the back. I don't think we'll even have a chance to resist."
Hearing this, Mo Xingjian's forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
"What should we do now?" Mo Xingjian looked a little anxious.
Zhou Qingze pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Perhaps, we can take advantage of their strategy."
Mo Xingjian was stunned: "You mean to say——"
[Heart Judgment Points +9]
In an instant, the entry note above Mo Xingjian's head, which read "A disciple that I am extremely proud of in this life and even the next," quickly changed to "A disciple with extraordinary wisdom."
At this moment, Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes filled with strong admiration and sincere satisfaction.
It turns out that everything has a traceable path. From the moment Zhou Qing's four flowers gathered at the top of his head, through his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, to his current calm analysis of the situation, this child is gradually showing the outstanding talents that a strong man should possess.
But Zhou Qing soon looked embarrassed: "The key is, how do we convince the head teacher?"
Mo Xingjian frowned, this was indeed a bit difficult.
At this moment, he seemed to sense something and reached out to take out his identity token. He said in a deep voice, "Master, I have something to discuss with you. I won't be returning to Xiaoling Peak for now. Please come with me."
"Okay!" Zhou Qing agreed without hesitation.
The Bagua Plate then turned and returned the same way.
…………
Inside the main hall, the twelve peak masters, numerous hall masters, and even several supreme elders all had solemn expressions on their faces, all looking towards the headmaster at the top.
Now, it is truly a matter of life and death for Taiqing Sect.
Cao Zhengyang glanced at Zhou Qing who was standing behind Mo Xingjian, sighed helplessly, and said nothing.
After all, Zhou Qingchen is now a useless person, and what Xuanjizi said just now has completely cut off his path of cultivation.
If I drive him away now, it would be too much of a blow to him.
At this moment, Cao Zhengyang slowly spoke: "We have just sent Xuanjizi away. Let's follow the previous plan. We will set out tonight and then meet up at Yinanling. Then we will split into two groups and rescue Qingyu Xianzong in time. Junior Sister Tong, please tell me."
Cao Zhengyang turned his gaze to Tong Min.
Tong Min looked exhausted from a long journey, as if she had just returned.
"My fellow uncles and brothers, to be on the safe side, I followed the orders of the Head Brother and traveled alone to the Qingyu Immortal Sect as quickly as possible last night. Fortunately, the route I took was remote and did not attract their attention. I also recorded the scene with a video stone."
After Tong Min finished speaking, he immediately took out an image stone and activated it.
As the image was projected, everyone soon saw that the mountain gate of Qingyu Xianzong was almost collapsed, with black smoke billowing.
Bodies were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed.
There were also many disciples from the Jin Lei Sect coming in and out. In addition, there were some other black-robed men helping to deal with the matter. They must be the other force that Huang Xiu and Ji Ying mentioned.
"That's Lei Wuji, the leader of the Golden Thunder Sect. It's actually him!" The next moment, they saw the acquaintance Lei Wuji walking out and saying something to a man in black.
"There are two deputy sect leaders, and I know those elders too!" Another peak master spoke.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but frown as he watched this scene.
But soon, the scene before him further confirmed his guess.
Because everything seemed too deliberate, he didn't think about continuing to attack the Qingyu Immortal Sect at this time. When Uncle Tong Min secretly took a photo with the imaging stone, he happened to come out.
Not only did he come out, but the two deputy sect leaders and other high-level officials also showed up one after another, as if to make people believe that the one attacking Qingyu Xianzong at this moment was his Jinlei Sect.
Appearance can change, just like the second uncle.
"I didn't dare get too close because I was afraid of being discovered, but the facts are already very clear!" Tong Min put away the imaging stone and said.
Everyone nodded.
It seems that rescue is urgent. Even though they know that the silent Cang Yan Taoist Palace is waiting for them halfway, they have to bite the bullet and go ahead.
"I disagree!"
The next moment, Cao Zhengyang stood up with a serious expression. Just as he was about to give an order, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Zhou Qing looked over quickly and was stunned.
Because the one who raised his hand was Gao Xuan, the master of Jinyang Peak.
He saluted Cao Zhengyang and said, "Master Brother, we received the news yesterday, but we're leaving tonight. Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Cao Zhengyang frowned and said, "Junior Brother Gao, what do you mean?"
Gao Xuan said, "I just wonder if we're trusting the Tianji Sect too much. What if, and I mean what if, the Tianji Sect is also part of this game?"
Please give me a monthly ticket to help the three banks to enter the monthly ticket list
