Chapter 689: Shui Daozi's Request
Next, Shui Daozi discussed with Lu Gong and others and determined the teams they would lead.
Duan Qing and Hu Yanheng were assigned to Mo Chongzhi.
Duan Qing did not say anything about this.
Of course, he had to rush back to the Shendao Sect as soon as possible and would definitely not join Mo Chongzhi's quelling team.
However, given that there were too many people at the scene, he did not oppose Shui Daozi's arrangement on the spot.
Even Shui Daozi, the leader of the Five Elements Sect, gave up staying in the Five Elements Sect and wanted to personally catch the mastermind. If he proposed to stay out of it on the spot, wouldn't it be tantamount to slapping Shui Daozi in the face?
This kind of thing is not easy for him to do.
So, he planned to wait until the meeting was over before looking for Shui Daozi alone.
After the team was deployed, the people in the hall dispersed and prepared to follow Mo Chongzhi and other three great men to quell the riots in Lingzhou.
However, Duan Qing did not move with the large army, but privately asked Lin Ziyu to help introduce Shui Daozi.
Fortunately, Shui Daozi agreed to meet him.
Under the guidance of Lin Ziyu, Duan Qing brought Hu Yanheng to a pavilion behind the main hall.
The reason why he brought Hu Yanheng was that he was here on behalf of Wuxiang Sect this time, and it would be more convincing to bring Hu Yanheng with him.
"Brother Duan, the Sect Master is inside, and Ziyu is waiting for you outside!" Lin Ziyu whispered to Duan Qing.
"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Lin!" Duan Qing gave Lin Ziyu a thankful look, and then walked into the pavilion with Hu Yanheng.
Entering the pavilion, Shui Daozi, who had just met, was standing with his hands behind his back, waiting for the two of them.
Shui Daozi looked at Duan Qing and Hu Yanheng indifferently, and said straight to the point: "I heard from Lin girl that you have something to ask me?"
"Junior Duan Qing of the Shinto Sect, I meet the Shui Sect Master!" Duan Qing did not dare to neglect it, and immediately bowed to Shui Daozi.
Hu Yanheng, who was standing aside, was silent as always, and said nothing.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Shui Daozi seemed to be in a hurry and was a little impatient, urging Duan Qing.
Duan Qing didn't waste any words and directly told Shui Daozi that he came to Wuxiang Sect to deliver something on behalf of Huaying.
After that, Duan Qing took off a bracelet on his hand and handed it to Shui Daozi respectfully. "This is what Senior Huaying asked me to hand over to Master Shui!"
Shui Daozi waved his hand lightly, took the bracelet in his hand, broke the seal on it, and simply checked it.
"Well, Fellow Daoist Hua is thoughtful!" Shui Daozi said with a little sarcasm.
This Huaying is really stingy. It was just some trivial things back then, but he still holds a grudge!
Shui Daozi's tone made Duan Qing feel helpless.
Seeing the support teams from other sects and thinking back to what Huaying did, it is indeed a bit embarrassing.
If he were Shui Daozi, he would probably feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, I already know about this matter, you guys can go down!" Being disgusted by Hua Ying, Shui Daozi really didn't want to see Duan Qing and the others, and immediately ordered them to leave.
Duan Qing didn't rush to leave after hearing this, but said to Shui Daozi: "Junior has something to report!"
Shui Daozi glanced at Duan Qing strangely. "If you have something to say, please say it!"
Duan Qing was neither humble nor arrogant, and explained to Shui Daozi that he wanted to send a talisman to Xue Wanyun.
Xue Wanyun and he were both hit by the Wuxiang Seal. If Xue Wanyun and he had the same attack time, then Xue Wanyun should be about to have the second attack.
The Wuxiang Seal had a total of seven attacks, and each one was more painful than the last. After the seventh attack, even the gods could not save him.
He couldn't afford to delay in Lingzhou.
Hearing Duan Qing mention Xue Wanyun's name, Shui Daozi's originally impatient expression gradually eased a little, and he looked at Duan Qing again.
"Are you a disciple of Mu Daoyou?" Shui Daozi asked curiously.
"That's right!" Duan Qing nodded in affirmation.
Shui Daozi only heard that Xue Wanyun was his senior sister, and guessed that he was a disciple of Mu Yu. This news is really well-informed.
Hearing Duan Qing admit it, Shui Daozi smiled lightly. "Since you have something important to do, I won't force you."
"Thank you for your strength, Master Shui!" Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, he was really afraid that Shui Daozi would use his power to force him to participate in the Lingzhou rebellion.
Shui Daozi nodded slightly and wanted to let Duan Qing withdraw.
But at this time, he suddenly thought of something and asked Duan Qing: "By the way, now that Diling City has fallen, I wonder how you are going to return to Shendao Sect?"
Duan Qing was stunned, and after a little hesitation, he said: "Lingzhou and Shenzhou are connected, so I will naturally fly back."
In fact, if you want to be faster, you can go from the Five Elements Sect to other nearby states, teleport to Shenzhou Gupan City, and then use the teleportation array set up by the Shendao Sect in Gupan City to teleport directly to Qingxu Mountain.
This method is the fastest way to get back to Shendao Sect.
But considering that he didn't have any top-grade spiritual stones, he chose to fly back directly.
Although flying back directly was a little slower, it was not much slower and was still within the acceptable range.
Hearing Duan Qing say this, Shui Daozi nodded slightly with a meaningful smile on his face. "In this case, can you help me on the way? It won't delay you for long."
"Master Shui, just say it." Duan Qing's face was calm, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Do you know Tu Ling Peak?" Shui Daozi didn't directly ask Duan Qing what he wanted to do, but asked a strange question first.
Duan Qing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Seeing that Duan Qing didn't know, Shui Daozi began to explain. "Tu Ling Peak is the largest spiritual mine in Lingzhou, located in the north of Lingzhou, and belongs to my Five Elements Sect."
"Because the reserve of spiritual stones is huge, and the area below the Earth Spirit Peak is the location of the Lingzhou node of the Heavenly Fate Array, it is of great importance, and capable people from my Five Elements Sect are stationed there all year round."
"However, the turmoil in Lingzhou this time was too sudden, and my Five Elements Sect was seriously short of manpower. In addition, there were no ghosts near the Earth Spirit Peak, so not long ago, I transferred most of the people stationed at the Earth Spirit Peak to quell the turmoil."
"If you want to fly back to the Shinto Sect, you will pass through the Earth Spirit Peak. I want you to lead a team to the Earth Spirit Peak to assist in defense for a few days."
"When the turmoil in Lingzhou eases a little, I will immediately dispatch people to change guards. What do you think?"
In fact, Shui Daozi had no choice.
Now the Five Elements Sect is short of manpower, and support is needed everywhere, especially in the central and northern parts of Lingzhou south of the Five Elements Sect, where ghosts are rampant.
So he really couldn't spare any manpower to garrison the Earth Spirit Peak.
Originally, he planned to mobilize a group of Five Elements Sect disciples to garrison the Earth Spirit Peak after the support teams from various sects arrived.
But he didn't expect that something happened in Diling City, which cut off the support routes of various sects. The number of supporters who finally arrived at Wuxing Sect was much lower than he expected.
So when he heard that Duan Qing was going to fly back to Shendao Sect, he thought it was just on the way, so he let Duan Qing stay for a few days to help defend Tuling Peak.
Otherwise, as the leader of Wuxing Sect, Duan Qing had already stated that he had an urgent matter to return to Shendao Sect, so how could he delay Duan Qing's time.
