Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 219: Initial Alliance

"I am Taining, your name is Qiao Ran'er? It means quiet and silent? Is it because it is best for your lineage to act quietly? But why don't you call yourself Qiao Qiao'er?"

Chu Tai's words would be considered offensive to most people, but Qiao Ran'er's eyes lit up and she spoke to him excitedly and anxiously.

"Do you also think that Qiaoqiao'er is a better name? I thought so too, but unfortunately I joined the sect a step late, so this name was taken by my senior brother. Later, I thought the word "quietly" was a good one, so I planned to call myself Qiao Wuzi, and my second senior brother liked it."

At this point, Qiao Raner chuckled and said, "One day sooner or later, I will steal both of their treasures."

After hearing this, Chu Tai probably guessed Qiao Ran'er's character and looked at another cultivator next to him.

This was a female cultivator with delicate features. She wore a fish-scale robe and a shell and pearl decoration on her head. She looked like a water goddess. When she saw Chu Tai coming, she bowed her head and was about to speak, but Qiao Ran'er spoke first.

"This is Daoist Fellow Liu Ninghe from Feili Island in Wandao Lake. However, everyone generally calls her Madam Qingli. Daoist Fellow Taining, you can just call her Qingli."

Madam Qingli saw this and frowned. She said in a cold voice, "You little Qiaoran, you didn't introduce yourself before, but now you introduced me as well. Did you do that on purpose?"

"Hahaha, little Lotus, you should be like this. How can you not help but act like a lady when you see a handsome guy? Wait a minute, I'm introducing your relationship with those two evil cultivators. Do you want me to tell you about your family scandal?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Qingli snorted coldly and told Chu Tai about her conflict with the evil cultivators here.

The evil cultivators here are a pair of Taoist lovers. Qian Dao calls himself Ming Shao San Ren, while Kun Dao calls himself Ge Xiangu. Both titles sound good, but they are actually evil cultivators who specialize in the method of collecting and replenishing energy. They usually go out to collect and replenish energy, and regularly hold some blissful feasts in the Taoist temple, purifying the primordial energy in their bodies through the joy of many people.

Madam Qingli's husband, sister and nephew were bewitched by the two and joined the banquet, where they had their essence stolen and died.

"My dead man was not disciplined, and that witch stole his cultivation and killed him. I didn't care at first, but I never thought that those two evil creatures thought I was afraid of them and bewitched my sister and nephew one after another. If I don't chop off their heads, I won't have to stay in this Wandao Lake anymore."

After hearing this, Chu Tai asked about the origins of the evil cultivator.

"What is his origin? He is nothing but an evil cultivator practicing the Mud and Water Pill Method."

Mrs. Qingli's answer made Chu Tai frown slightly. Qiao Raner saw this and realized something was wrong, so she added two more sentences.

"Ming Shao Sanren's cultivation method is inclined towards plague and poison. He likes to cultivate various kinds of lust plague from the harmony of yin and yang. But I don't know where he learned a fragment of the method of refining a mysterious magic weapon. He refined a pair of Yin-Yang Jiao Snake Scissors with the exotic dragon snakes in Wandao Lake. They are very powerful. I was almost cut by him with these scissors last time."

"That witch Ge likes to collect essences and seduce souls. She also refined a Yin-Yang scorpion tail hook. Although it still has traces of unconventional techniques, its foundation should be a Xuanmen magic weapon. Because of the appearance of the scorpion tail hook, she has a nickname of Scorpion Beauty."

"The two of them also set up a formation on this island, called the Five Miasma Yin-Yang Formation. It's very strange. The last time I went in, I almost got trapped."

When saying this, Qiao Ran'er looked serious, and it was obvious that what he said was true, while Chu Tai was more concerned about the two magic weapons he had mentioned before.

"Liang Yi Jiao Snake Scissors? Yin Yang Scorpion Tail Hook?"

Chu Tai repeated it in his mind, and a strange feeling arose inexplicably in his heart. He began to calculate and deduce in front of Qiao Ran'er and Madam Qingli.

Seeing the spiritual light bursting from Chu Tai's fingertips and the mysterious aura gathering continuously, Madam Qingli and Qiao Ran'er were both startled and their respect for Chu Tai increased a lot.

After a while, Chu Tai finally confirmed that this Taoist couple was indeed related to him, or to Hong Yue, and then to him. It was because Chu Tai had fought with Hong Yue before, and the auras of both sides blended and influenced each other, forming a cause and effect, which led to changes in fate and cause and effect, and caused the many hidden players arranged by Hong Yue in the Central Plains to start interacting with Chu Tai.

"However, logically speaking, the karma between Hong Yue and I shouldn't have brought about such a big change so quickly. After all, in terms of the depth of karma, Taoist Zi Guang should be ahead of him, so how could Hong Yue's karma be dragged in first?"

Chu Tai looked into the void, and the word "fate" flashed across his eyes. In a trance, he understood the whole story, and also saw Hong Yue's eyes looking back at him.

The next second, foul air surged, obscuring Chu Tai's connection with the secrets of heaven.

But the look in Hong Yue's eyes when he looked back at him, combined with the secret information he had deduced earlier, was enough for Chu Tai to figure out the whole thing.

"So that's how it is. Hong Yue himself was also secretly plotting against me, causing the karma between him and me to become more and more serious, and the fate between us to become deeper and deeper, so that when I came here, I was drawn to confront Ming Shao San Ren and Ge Xiangu."

Chu Tai looked back at Qiao Ran'er and Madam Qingli. These two were also the nemesis of Ming Shao Sanren and Ge Xiangu. Even if Chu Tai did not help to deal with it this time, the four of them would have a big battle in the future. Until Qiao Ran'er and Madam Qingli, or Ming Shao Sanren and Ge Xiangu were dead, the connection between them would be severed.

"But how did Qiao Raner fight against them?"

Chu Tai silently calculated and found that this guy not only had some blood relationship with Madam Qingli, but was also entangled with Ming Shao Sanren and Ge Xiangu. These two were the disasters for his future enlightenment.

From a certain perspective, Qiao Ran'er was targeting the two of them at this moment in order to steal the energy of the calamity and get through the human calamity in advance.

"Is this the secret method of stealing the door?"

Continuing to deduce, Chu Tai also discovered that there were some causal entanglements between Ming Shao Sanren, Ge Xiangu, and Madam Qingli, but when he wanted to investigate further, he felt blocked by a hazy light.

He decisively stopped calculating and began to ponder secretly in his mind.

After a while, Qiao Raner smiled and said, "Master, what have you figured out? Are you willing to believe us?"

Obviously, the old thief had just noticed something, and Chu Tai also started to make fun of people with his personality.

"If you hadn't been so half-hearted before, why would I have wasted my time? You said you weren't asking me to protect you, you just wanted me to protect the creatures here. After all, aren't the evil obstacles on this island your future calamity? If you kill them today, your breakthrough to the fifth level in the future will be smooth sailing. In the end, you just want my help for nothing."

Upon hearing this, both Madam Qingli and Qiao Raner knew that Chu Tai had agreed to help.

Madam Qingli smiled and said, "Of course I won't let you, Daoist Brother Taining, work in vain. After the matter is completed, whether it is cultivation manuals or magic weapon resources, you will be allowed to choose first and take the lion's share. How about that?"

Qiao Ran'er also nodded and pointed out what she and Madam Qingli wanted.

"I am laying the foundation for the future, and I also want to obtain some Yin-Yang magic from them to improve my foundation. Little Lotus wants to occupy this place, incorporate it into her own territory, and open up a branch of the Taoist temple. As long as it's not these two items, it's fine for you to take the rest, Fellow Daoist Taining."

Hearing this, Chu Tai glanced at Madam Qingli who was furious, and said with a smile: "You say that lightly. You are the only one who is full and your whole family is not hungry. But it is different for Fellow Daoist Liu. She has a whole family to take care of. I will just choose one or two when the time comes."

After saying this, Chu Tai discussed with the two of them how to deal with that situation.
