Chapter 168: Misfortunes Never Come Alone
"Captain." Several disciples had given up their positions and ran to Dao Ziru's side. As they left, the white formation trembled twice.
The vulture was not happy, and still had a fierce look on its face.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go back quickly and guard your own formation!" Dao Ziru looked at several cowering disciples and was so angry that he wanted to slap them in the face. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, otherwise the Taoist sect would have
My face is really going to be lost by them.
"Captain, we..." Several disciples were not very old. They looked at each other, as if they were speechless, but there was no sign of their feet moving at all.
"Get back here quickly!" Dao Ziru finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed loudly.
The young disciple hunched his neck and left here dejectedly, leaving only Dao Zilin sighing on the spot.
"Zilin, do you think I did something wrong? The patriarch also did something wrong?" Dao Ziru raised his head and looked at the vulture in the sky, seeming to tell it with his actions that as long as the disciples of the Taoist sect stay here,
, they can’t even think of leaving alive.
"Zilin doesn't dare, it's just that they are still too young. It is the first time they face such a ferocious monster, so they will inevitably be a little scared." Dao Zilin's status is lower than Dao Ziru. If Dao Ziru is the team leader, then
Dao Zilin is the vice-captain who assists him.
"This is not the first time for anyone to face a monster like this!" Dao Ziru smiled. It was both their first time to face a monster. Who has much experience?
In fact, when Dao Ziru saw the vulture, his heart was shaking, but he suppressed the fear in his heart so that he didn't look so scared.
"So senior brother, don't be too harsh on them." Dao Zilin also smiled.
"If all the disciples died here today because of my decision, I won't be able to explain it to the clan leader when I go back!" Dao Ziru lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"Dao sect disciples, listen to the order and release the formation!" Dao Ziru shouted fiercely.
Whether it was those disciples who were struggling with the monsters or those who were hiding, they all turned around and looked at Dao Ziru in the center of the formation.
He threw the dagger in his hand on the ground, making a sonorous and powerful sound, and then looked up at the vulture, with an unyielding look in his eyes... Qi.iqix....*Free reading
"Captain, we." Several disciples lowered their heads in shame.
"It has nothing to do with you. I brought you out alive and I will take you back alive, otherwise the clan leader will blame me, right?" Dao Ziru smiled softly. He still didn't know that Dao Quan had already died.
into the hands of the green python.
"It doesn't matter if it fails the first time. Our Taoist sect is responsible for eradicating all monsters in the world. We don't have to worry about the green hills left without firewood. Then we kill twenty monsters or thirty monsters and they will come back, right?"
Dao Ziru comforted everyone, but his words were meant for vultures to hear.
His meaning has been very clear, that is, I will let you go today, but no matter where you go to the end of the world, we will chase you to the end.
The vulture was not angry, but instead grinned, and his smile was particularly hideous.
Terrifying.
Daoxi stood on top of the house and stared at his hands. After a fierce battle, his hands were still so clean, but he felt that his hands were stained with blood.
The sword was no longer in his hand; it fell from the roof and landed somewhere.
The disciples also dropped their weapons one after another, and the silkworms maintaining the barrier exploded like silkworms breaking out of their cocoons, and then people saw the scene in front of them again.
The disciples of the Taoist sect faced off against the group of monsters, and the two sides were at war with each other.
"Hey, how did this barrier break?"
"Yeah, yeah, why aren't these monsters dead yet?" People began to talk and point in a low voice.
"Thank you very much." The vulture smiled evilly. It spread its wings and flew towards the sky, followed by the six winged demons behind it.
"Brother, are we really going to go back for midnight snacks without bringing two prey?" The fat eagle flapped its wings behind it. At this moment, the energy in its body was slowly recovering, so it thought of food again.
"Okay, you go by yourself, the food down here is all yours." The vulture said slowly, minding its own business and galloping away from the city gate.
As they left, the entire gray sky became clear again, and all the birds disappeared, with only a few black feathers slowly falling down.
After escaping from the demon-killing formation, it not only did not feel safe, but instead felt a more terrifying sense of crisis approaching.
"Hey, Taoist boy, how could you let them run away like this? Do you know how many people will suffer after letting these monsters escape from Tiandu City?" A middle-aged man in the crowd who was watching the fun relied on himself.
The older man accused loudly.
That's how people are, they blame others for doing things they can't do themselves.
They have regarded exterminating demons as a duty that the Taoist sect should fulfill. If they exterminate demons, they are heroes. If they cannot exterminate demons, they are just bears.
"Yes, yes, didn't you just keep saying that you were going to kill them all? How come they all ran away without a single one left?" An aunt also stood up, holding a crying baby in her arms.
"Hey, it's not that the monsters are too powerful to be afraid of. Everyone can talk big, but when it comes to doing it, they are short of resources!" A young man who looked like a scholar sneered.
Previously, they worshiped the disciples of the Taoist sect as gods, but now they have a different look, completely ignoring that those winged demons were driven away by them, otherwise they would definitely go on a killing spree, and the whole place would be devastated.
Dao Ziru had already thought of such a result when he ordered to dismantle the formation. If they let the Yi Yao go, it would definitely have a big impact on the reputation of the Dao sect. He had already boasted about Haikou, so
He chose to bear this responsibility alone.
"Fellows and fellow villagers, the reason for catching monsters today is all because of Dao's lack of talent and lack of knowledge. But please rest assured that Dao will definitely make up for it. The safety of the capital the day after tomorrow will be fully borne by Dao." Dao Ziru said to him.
Everyone bowed deeply, the copper bell rang at night, and the Taoist sect died. He did not want this prophecy to come true.
"Tch, what's the use of apologizing? If we don't get rid of this monster today, who can sleep peacefully in the future? We can only live in fear all day long. This is all your sect's fault." But these people didn't pay attention to his apology at all.
Put all the blame on his head.
"Enough!" Suddenly an old and powerful voice sounded.
It sounded very majestic, and everyone's eyes focused on it. It turned out to be Bai Qingdong from the Bai family. He was leaning on a cane at the moment, and there were veins on the back of his hands. He looked a little angry.
The common people stopped talking, lowered their heads and glanced around.
"At least I saved everyone, how could you add insult to injury like this? Now a group of monsters are coming. If we don't work together to resist these monsters, we are still here shirk responsibility. If those monsters find out, won't we laugh out loud?" Bai Bai
Qingdong's voice was not loud, but it was very clear. When he spoke, no one dared to whisper below.
The head of the Bai family in Tiandu City is still very majestic. Only a strong dragon can suppress these local snakes.
"Let's go, let's go, it's so boring."
"Yes, yes, it's boring. Let's all leave!" When Bai Qingdong said this, the people did not refute or obey. They all greeted the people they knew with a low eyebrow.
It was obvious that they still had resentment in their hearts, but they were suppressed by Bai Qingdong and did not dare to vent it.
Dao Ziru still had a slight smile on his face. He knew that Daomen would face a lot of rumors in the future.
He felt that he had failed the patriarch and betrayed his trust.
But if he died here with more than 40 Taoist disciples, he would be sorry for their parents. In this dilemma, he could only make this choice.
"Thank you very much." Seeing that he could not win back everyone's hearts, Bai Qingdong clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Dao Ziru and the Dao disciples behind him.
Those Taoist disciples were obviously ashamed. Even though they had saved everyone, they still had their heads buried, relying on each other, with tears on their faces, as if they had lost a battle.
"Thank you very much, Lord Bai Fang, for speaking for us." Dao Ziru also returned a salute to Bai Qingdong.
"Don't leave the Taoist Gate." Taozi strode through the street. At this moment, he had to be confident in order to give these frustrated disciples some safety.
Maybe in the future, Daomen will no longer be able to stay in Tiandu City! Dao Ziru thought in his heart.
"Brother, brother!" Dao Ziru was on his way home with his disciples. In order to be troubled by the common people, he deliberately chose a sparsely populated path.
Just as he reached the corner, a Taoist disciple dressed in black rushed out. He saw Dao Ziru who was leading his disciples back and hurriedly ran forward.
"Zixi? What's wrong?" Dao Ziru saw this boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. It was his younger brother Dao Zixi.
At this moment, there were still two lines of clear tears hanging on his red face, as if he had just cried.
"Brother, patriarch, patriarch..." Just after saying a few words, Dao Zixi choked up and the tears in the corners of his eyes couldn't help but fall down.
"What happened to the patriarch!" Dao Ziru was shocked. He seemed to understand something, but he couldn't believe it.
He was still comforting himself in his heart, trying hard to make himself happy.
Although there is no monster that can be destroyed, he can at least say to Dao Quan with a smile that he has escorted the disciples of the Dao sect back safely, and the prophecy you are worried about has not come true.
But he didn't expect that Dao Quan himself would...
If Dao Zi no longer cares about his disciples, he can't help but rush out and open the door of the Taoist house in an instant.
He saw a white figure with its back facing him, and a familiar corpse lying beside it.
