In the south of the desert
Far away from the sand shade where the Qingyun Sect and the Heavenly Chord Temple were located, a woman tiptoed and walked out gently. From time to time, she would look back. When she could no longer see the sand shade, she took a few breaths and said,"That was close. I was almost caught, but I finally escaped. Phew…"
She took a few deep breaths before she gradually calmed down. She whispered to the sand shade in the distance,"I'm sorry, senior brothers. It's not that I left without saying goodbye, but I have orders. I can't always follow you and wait for an opportunity. I'm just here to ask some questions and I'll be back soon. Senior Brother Zeng, don't blame me.”
After saying that, she revealed the joy of a young girl and happily walked out. However, she had only taken two or three steps when she suddenly froze. A figure had appeared out of nowhere in the sand in front of her.
"Junior Sister Xiao Shi, where are you going?”The figure in the sand said.
This woman was dressed like a disciple of the Qingyun Sect's Small Bamboo Peak. Who else could it be but Xiao Shi?
Shika looked at the figure and asked fearfully,""Senior…Senior Brother Du, why are you here?”
The wind stopped for a moment, and the sand slowly fell to the ground. The figure was no longer covered by the sand and revealed his true appearance. He was the disciple sent by Big Bamboo Peak, Du Bi Shu, who loved to bet.
Du Bishu walked in front of Xiao Shi and asked,""You didn't know I was here?"
Xiao Shi shook her head and stared at Du Bi Shu in confusion. Du Bishu laughed and said,"Haha, so that's how it is." You ran in this direction because you didn't know I was here, right?”
Shika-chan's scheme was seen through, and her face reddened as she lowered her head. Du Bishu continued,"Let me tell you. Our Qingyun Sect is in a dangerous place. We have to be constantly alert to possible sudden injuries. Therefore, Senior Brother Zeng sent a few people to patrol the vicinity in turns so that we can detect danger early." Haha, what a coincidence. I've only been here for less than an hour, and I saw a shifty person sneaking out.”
"Senior Brother Du, who did you say you saw?" Xiao Shi raised her head and asked softly.”
"Of course…no, no.”Du Bi Shu hadn't even finished speaking when he was met with Xiao Shi's angry glare, scaring him into hurriedly changing his words.
"Senior Brother Du, you said you didn't see anyone, right?" Xiao Shi chuckled.”
Du Bishu didn't dare to offend this junior sister of Yifeng easily. He stammered,"I just…sort of…maybe…I just, I just didn't see anyone.”
Shika-chan finally got the answer she wanted, and she retracted her round eyes from Du Bishu. Du Bishu felt his entire body lighten up, and he let out a breath of air. He secretly blamed himself for being so unlucky to meet this unruly junior sister.
Xiao Shi happily walked towards the south. She turned around and said to Du Bishu,""Since you didn't see anyone, then don't tell Senior Brother Zeng. I know Senior Brother Du must be a good person. Thank you.”
Du Bishu was speechless. He lowered his head and said,"Alright then, I'll go tell Senior Brother Zeng that I didn't see you.”
After Du Bishu finished speaking, he walked towards the sand shade. Little Shi was so frightened that she hurriedly chased after him and blocked Du Bishu's path. She glanced at him and said,""Senior Brother Du, please don't.”
Du Bishu looked up at the sky and said indifferently,""Why should I listen to you?"
Xiao Shi continued to pester him." Senior Brother Du is a good person. You definitely don't want to see me being blamed, right? Besides, I'll only be leaving for a while. It'll be fine even if you don't say anything. Even if I owe you a favor today, I'll do anything you ask me to do in the future. I beg you."”
"En, is it true?" Du Bishu raised his head to ask the sky.
"I, Xiao Shi, always keep my word. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people of my Little Bamboo Peak.”Shika hurriedly replied. She was the only one who came to Little Bamboo Peak anyway, so it was fine as long as she could fool him for this moment.
Du Bi Shu smiled and said to Shika,""I won't need your favor in the future. All you have to do now is tell me what you're going to do.”
Xiao Shi's expression fell, and Du Bishu hurriedly added,""Hehe, I think it was you who said,'I'll do anything you ask me to do in the future.”Du Bishu imitated Xiao Shi's tone and said with a smile,""Junior Sister Xiao Shi, you can't have forgotten so quickly, right? Or are you not keeping your word?"
Shika was speechless, but she couldn't get angry, so she lowered her head. Du Bi Shu waited at the side and did not rush her. This police patrol was a boring and hard job. It was rare for someone to 'accompany' him, so he was not willing to let it go in vain.
Shika thought for a while and said angrily,""It was Senior Sister who instructed me to find out some information about the Demonic Sect. However, Senior Brother Zeng insisted on keeping quiet and forbade everyone from going out, so I…This is what happened.”
Du Bishu thought for a moment and said,"You're too reckless. Do you know how powerful the Demon Cult's demons are?" You haven't fought with them at all, and now the geographical situation is unclear. If you barge in recklessly, you'll definitely be in danger..."
Du Bi Shu's tone was calm and did not have the slightest bit of reproach. "But…but…" Shika lightly nibbled.
Du Bishu looked at her aggrieved expression and comforted her,"I know you mean well, but it's too dangerous. How about this, I promise you that when the war starts in the future, I will help you capture one for you to interrogate.”
Little Shi was currently lowering her head when she suddenly felt a sense of joy. She pretended to worship Du Bi Shu and said,""Senior Brother Du, how many demons can you catch?”
Du Bishu's eyes were filled with admiration when he saw Little Shi, and he bragged,""Your senior brother is handsome and talented. Those devil cultivators are terrified and panicked. Naturally, they can capture as many as they want.”
"Then, please come with me, Senior Martial Brother Du."”
"..." Du Bishu's smile suddenly froze. He secretly thought that he had been tricked. He opened his mouth to speak to Little Shi, but no sound came out.
Sure enough, Little Shi said to Du Bi Shu happily,""Senior Martial Brother Du, you were the one who said,'If there's a big battle in the future, I'll help you capture one for you to interrogate.''Those demonic cultivators can naturally capture as many as they want.”Little Shi repeated Du Bi Shu's words and continued,"Senior Brother Du, since you're magnanimous and your cultivation is high, you won't go back on your word and not help me, right?”
Du Bi Shu's mouth was wide open, but he was mute again. Shika once again headed south and waved at Du Bishu,""Senior Brother Du, hurry up and leave. Remember to help me when you meet the demonic people of the demonic sect.”
Du Bishu followed behind dejectedly and replied softly,"Alright, I'll go with you. If you encounter any enemies, I will definitely help you. I will help you come back and call for help.”
Shika was speechless.
An hour after the two left, Shayin's side
"Call everyone back." Zeng Shushu said to Wan Yiqing.
Wan Yiqing replied and ran out happily. The Qingyun Sect members resting under the shade of the sand surrounded Zeng Shushu. Someone asked,"Senior Brother Zeng, what's wrong?"
Zeng Shushu smiled at the people around him and said,""There's movement from the Demonic Sect."
Fa Xiang stepped forward and said in a deep voice,"Amitabha, may I ask Senior Brother Zeng what the Demonic Sect has done?"”
Zeng Shushu looked at the puzzled gazes of the people around him and replied,""The Ghost King Sect has already left the Wilderness Temple. They have sent out many demons, probably all the remaining forces of the Ghost King Sect. As for the Ghost King Sect, they've also moved out. According to my estimations, their final battle is imminent. This is the best opportunity we have been waiting for.”
Everyone from the Qingyun Sect was moved, and they looked like they were stupid enough to try. Zeng Shushu smiled again." The great cause of eliminating the demons depends on us now. We must show the prestige of the righteous path and destroy the demonic sect in one fell swoop." Ha, Senior Brother Fa Xiang, it's up to us to cooperate this time.”
"Senior Brother Ceng is too serious. At this moment of success or failure, how could the Heavenly Chord Temple cause any trouble?”Fa Xiang also smiled. After all, the dispute of more than a thousand years was about to end.
Zeng Shushu looked at Shayin in the Valley of Incense. The people of the Valley of Incense had also gotten up. They had obviously received the news.
"Senior Brother Zeng, bad news." "I went to call Senior Martial Brother Du just now, but I couldn't find him even after searching for a long time. Even Junior Martial Sister Xiao Shi is missing."”
Zeng Shushu was shocked to see that the Qingyun Sect was indeed missing these two people. Then, she looked at the Valley of Incense and sighed after thinking for a moment."Search, we'll all search. We must find them as soon as possible. If you really can't find it…"
Zeng Shushu closed her eyes and said sadly,""Gather here in an hour. The thousand-year-old undertaking cannot be delayed because of the two of them.”
Fa Xiang and Fashan chanted Buddha's name in a low voice. Everyone from the Qingyun Sect was shocked. Zeng Shushu suddenly opened his eyes and said anxiously,"Go quickly."
"…Ah…Yes."
Everyone from the Qingyun Sect immediately dispersed, leaving Zeng Shushu alone, worried.
