Chapter 32 Why fight?
"Quick! Go!"

When Hua Xiaolan saw that her bad words had come true, she immediately grabbed Fu Qingzhou's wrist and tried to pull him away.

This time, Fu Qingzhou didn't say "don't worry", but followed her in big strides and just asked, "Where are you going?"

Hua Xiaolan answered without hesitation: "Of course it's Youzhu Cave!"

"Not long after Elder Nian left, Elder Ma broke through by force. They must have a way to communicate with each other... Elder Nian was worried that he would die from the Gu, so he called Elder Ma to come and support him!"

"What's the point of rushing to the place where Elder Ma is imprisoned? He has already escaped!"

Fu Qingzhou smiled happily: "Not too stupid."

Hua Xiaolan glared at him again.

“But still not smart enough.”

Fu Qingzhou said as he ran: "Can the two of us deal with Elder Ma? Moreover, once these two elders take action, the peace you have worked so hard to maintain will be broken. As a disciple of the sect master, don't you go and maintain order?"

Hua Xiaolan was slightly stunned.

They were now close to the edge of the Wandu Mountain village, and as expected, the disciples were already a little confused.

Previously, it was an elder who knocked down the stilt house with one blow. At this moment, smoke and fire were rising from the mountains not far away. It seemed that something had happened. A group of disciples who should have been resting came out of the house, stretched their necks to look around with a look of half surprise and half expectation, just like those students in their school days who would make a fuss in class after discovering that something had happened in the school.

After hesitating for a moment, Hua Xiaolan waved her hand, and a few bees and insects flew out of her sleeves, buzzing away into the distance.

"Let Elder Yu handle these matters... Let's go to Youzhu Cave!"

She called out and continued to run with Fu Qingzhou.

Fu Qingzhou was very curious: "How can you convey so much information with just a few little bees? How can you call people and maintain order at the same time?"

Hua Xiaolan ignored him.

So he had to change his angle to express his curiosity: "Speaking of which, why is it that in the past few days since I came to Wandu Mountain, I have only seen disciples of your generation? People like Meng Zhugang and Jiang Yunfeng are considered old, right? Above them are old men like Elder Ma, and what about those in between?"

"Also, with such a big incident happening, your master, as the sect leader, has to do something, right?"

Hua Xiaolan finally gave him a deep look: "Why do you want to know this?"

"Little sister..."

Fu Qingzhou smiled helplessly: "Whether I like it or not, I have been dragged into this mess. You have to let me know something, right? Otherwise, if I run into trouble, I won't even be able to scare anyone!"

Hua Xiaolan was silent for a moment, then hummed softly.

"Okay... Then remember, this is the secret of my Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain. If you ever leave this place, you must not tell anyone about this."

"Otherwise, I will chase you down and kill you no matter where you are!"

Fu Qingzhou clicked his tongue when he heard this: "So scary?"

But there was no trace of fear in his tone. Instead, he chuckled and said, "Let me guess. Most of the Mesozoic people in your sect should have gone out to carry out some important mission, right? And this mission was very dangerous and scary. It lasted for many years and many people died."

Hua Xiaolan was shocked for a moment, then she gave a bitter smile: "You are really too smart...what else have you guessed?"

"I guess your master, the master of Wandu Mountain, has probably lost his ability to move a long time ago, or even..."

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "He has passed away." Click.

Hua Xiaolan stopped running and looked at him intently.

This time she wasn't surprised, she just asked, "Is it so obvious?"

"Fortunately, it's not that obvious." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Your master was able to capture Long Dabei back then, and he had already planted a poisonous insect in the body of the elder more than ten years ago. It can be imagined that he is a big man with means, ability, and scheming."

"But now the mountain is in such a mess, two of the three elders have defected... If your master were still alive, it would be hard to imagine why he did nothing from beginning to end."

"Earlier at the Phoenix Blood Pond, I listened to the conversation between Kua Ye and other Miao people, and I guessed that their fathers must have died in some important mission, and this was also the main reason for the split of your Wandu Mountain. In addition, you said before that the elders were dissatisfied with your master's close relationship with the court..."

He said calmly, "So I guess that the imperial court gave you a very terrible mission in Wandu Mountain. Your master chose to take on this mission and sent out the sect's core forces. However, many people have died over the years, and this matter has never been resolved, causing a large number of disciples in the sect to be dissatisfied."

"Now that your master is gone, and most of his core supporters are away, the elders dared to take this opportunity to launch a rebellion... Am I right?"

Hua Xiaolan listened to his speculation with a very calm expression.

Finally, after he finished speaking, she quietly asked, "Now that you know this, what can you do?"

"No way."

Fu Qingzhou looked at her and said word by word: "I just want to tell you that although the elder is set to die, Elder Ma and the other traitors will never surrender just because they can't release Long Dabei."

"If my guess is correct, this is a blowout of resentment that has been pent up for more than a decade. It is a sinister plan that has been planned for more than a decade. No matter how important Long Dabei is, it will not affect their determination to do things."

"What you should be more worried about is what kind of terrible and decisive counterattack will be launched if Elder Ma and his men find that they cannot release Long Dabei?"

Hua Xiaolan stared at him blankly, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she was a little at a loss.

It was not until then that Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized that the girl in front of him seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. When he was this age in his previous life, he was still playing Aruba with his classmates at school...

He smiled and said, "I have one last question."

Hua Xiaolan did not respond immediately, but raised her head and looked over his shoulder at the village not far away.

Some of the young disciples who were about her age climbed up to the roof in a hurry to look at the fire in the distance, while others went back to the house to get their scimitars, called their friends, and wanted to see what was going on.

After a few breaths, she whispered, "You say."

"Can I know what your master did when he sent those core members of your sect out?"

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "If it is inconvenient for you to answer, I will ask it in a different way - why are they fighting?"

Hua Xiaolan pursed her lips, as if she was determined not to hide it anymore: "There are monsters south of the Shiwan Mountains. If they cross the Shiwan Mountains..."

"All right."

Fu Qingzhou interrupted her and said with a smile: "I understand, no need to say more. I will help you today, let's go to Youzhu Cave now."

But after he took two steps, he found that Hua Xiaolan did not follow him.

"What's wrong?" He was a little confused.

Hua Xiaolan raised her head, her face full of despair: "It's impossible... After listening to you, I understand that we have already captured Elder Ma, there is nothing we can do..."
