Taoist Sansha was skeptical about Fairy Feiying's words.
Even if the founder of the Emerald Palace really left a back door targeting the demon clan's bloodline, there would definitely be a price to pay.
Otherwise, Fairy Feiying's tone would not be pretentious to seduce or seek support, but would directly explain the cause and effect, allowing everyone to make a choice.
Sure enough, after hearing Taoist Sansha's question, Fairy Feiying said calmly:
"Of course there is a price."
"Under normal circumstances, in the judgment of Beppu formation, only Taoist Qingxu and three other people can go to the next level. We will all be left here, waiting to be eliminated."
"And using this backdoor, we can directly bypass some of the monitoring formations inside the palace, but everyone will go to the sixth level together instead of making separate judgments..."
After hearing what he said, Zhang Yao understood immediately.
"As you wish..."
His expression darkened and he said calmly:
"The price for taking this back door must be borne by Taoist You Quan and I?"
"……right."
Fairy Feiying was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said:
"Fellow Sansha has already obtained the spiritual treasure once and will not receive a second reward."
"So actually, the price we need to pay is that you, fellow Taoist Qingxu, and fellow Taoist You Quan will lose the spiritual treasure reward from the fifth level."
"Ah……"
Zhang Yao smiled faintly and glanced at the many golden elixir monks in the hall.
Man Tiansheng, Baihong Sword Immortal, Ancestor Yuanxu and others were quite moved, their eyes wandering uncertainly. Fairy Xiaguang seemed to be still hesitating, while Ancestor Haihe remained silent.
"I disagree."
Zhang Yao spoke unhurriedly, but his tone was resolute:
"How much ability you have, how much food you can eat."
"I want Pindao to take the initiative to sacrifice himself to fulfill your opportunity, but I'm sorry Pindao can't agree!"
Ultimately, he had little confidence in his own understanding.
Although during the period of Qi refining and foundation building, his understanding was pretty good compared to the same level, and he was able to comprehend and practice various spells and Taoism very quickly, but he was not considered to be an extremely intelligent person.
And who can achieve the golden elixir, who was not the proud one of heaven and the best among men when he was young?
A ruthless person like Taoist Sansha, who has fought his way up from the bottom of casual cultivators and miscellaneous spiritual roots, must be a person with astonishing understanding. Even he failed in the sixth level, and Zhang Yao asked himself that he didn't have much confidence.
Then the ancient spiritual treasure rewarded in the fifth level is probably Zhang Yao's biggest gain in the Jade Palace. How could he give it up?
Zhang Yao is not so magnanimous as to sacrifice his own interests for the interests of others.
"well said!"
You Quan, who had always been silent, showed a hint of disgust and said coldly:
"Forcing others to 'sacrifice' for one's own benefit is so shameless!"
"If you have the ability, just show your true skills and speak based on your true abilities!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already crossed his arms, took two steps across, and stood directly next to Zhang Yaoshun, further expressing his attitude with practical actions.
Everyone's expressions changed. Man Tiansheng was the first to speak, frowning and saying:
"You two, you can't say that, can you?"
"You two have made sacrifices, and we will definitely make up for it afterwards!"
"right!"
Beside him, Sword Immortal Bai Hong and Ancestor Yuanxu also nodded in agreement:
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qingxu and Fellow Daoist You Quan, we will definitely compensate you for your losses!"
"That's right, the rewards for the sixth level are definitely more generous than those for the fifth level. Can't they still make up for the loss of Lingbao?"
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu..."
Fairy Xiaguang also spoke softly, her expression seemed to be guilty, but she still whispered:
"I hope fellow Taoist don't blame me. I...I also support Sister Feiying's proposal."
"I will be the first to make up for the loss caused by the two of you giving up the Lingbao. I only ask that you give us a chance."
"Opportunity? What a joke!"
Zhang Yao sneered, glanced at Xia Guang, Bai Hong and others, and said sarcastically:
"You are trying to spread the pie for others with benefits that may not yet be obtained. Do you think others are fools?"
"It's better to believe in your promise than to believe in a dog!"
How precious are ancient spiritual treasures? The reward for the sixth level is unknown and may not be comparable to the Lingbao. Moreover, it is unknown whether they can pass the sixth level and whether they will keep their promise after passing it.
If he had believed their lies, Zhang Yao would have lived like a dog for hundreds of years.
"So there's nothing to talk about?"
Man Tiansheng and others looked ugly, and Bai Hong Sword Immortal said directly:
"Brother Sansha, you should advise fellow Taoist Qingxu!"
"right!"
Ancestor Yuanxu also spoke in a deep voice, with a hint of threat in his tone:
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu, you are certainly powerful and can overwhelm a country, but Taoist Brother Sansha holds the ancient spiritual treasure, even if it is not an offensive type, he can still protect himself."
"Fellow Taoist Man Tiansheng is a body-refining cultivator, and his strength is comparable to that of the middle-stage Jindan. Daoist Baihong is a Jindan-level sword cultivator, and his killing ability is the best at the same level. If someone protects and cooperates, his combat power can be comparable to that of Jindan." Mid-stage Dan!”
The faster he spoke, the more confident he became:
"Led by Brother Sansha, we have seven golden elixir monks. We are not afraid of you and You Quan, the two golden elixir monks!"
"If you know the situation well, we can still advance and retreat together. If you don't know the current affairs, then once you leave the Emerald Palace, you will be in catastrophe!"
In his opinion:
Taoist Sansha is his ally, and the rest are all parties with interests and shared weal and woe. The seven golden elixirs of them join forces and have three points to worry about even if the golden elixir is perfected. Isn't it possible that they are no match for the Qingxu Patriarch and a Qingxu Patriarch? Utensils and craftsmanship?
Not to mention anything else, just the three evil Taoists, Man Tiansheng and Bai Hong Sword Immortal joining forces are probably enough to fight Qingxu; the remaining four Jindan monks besieged You Quan and could kill him in an instant!
However, something unexpected by Patriarch Yuanxu happened:
"Seven people? Who is with you?"
Ancestor Haihe suddenly spoke, with a trace of determination in his voice:
"When I was in Dali, Qingxu was very kind to me, and I, Haihe, am not an ungrateful person!"
"Forgive me, your alliance, for not being able to participate!"
After the words fell, he took two steps back to the side. Although he could not cross the star map stone tablet to the other side, he also expressed his attitude of keeping distance and drawing a clear boundary.
"Haihe! You..."
Fairy Xiaguang suddenly frowned, and Ancestor Yuanxu, Baihong Sword Immortal and others also looked ugly. However, before they could say anything angrily, Taoist Sansha suddenly said:
"I don't agree with you either."
"In fact, I do not support Fairy Feiying's proposal."
"What?"
At this time, Ancestor Yuanxu, Baihong Sword Immortal and Man Tiansheng were completely dumbfounded.
They completely did not expect that their staunch ally, Taoist Sansha, who was on the opposite side of Patriarch Qingxu, would actually switch sides in the face of battle?
What's going on?
"This situation is not good. What happened to Taoist Sansha?!"
Man Tiansheng was the most cunning person. He reacted immediately and quickly communicated with his spiritual thoughts, thinking of retreating in his heart.
Seven versus two turned into five versus four, including the Sansha Taoist holding the spiritual treasure and the terrifying Ancestor Qingxu. Now the situation was completely reversed, and they even became the disadvantaged party.
In this case, they dare not open the back door anymore, otherwise the monitoring array will fail and it will be their turn to be unlucky!
"Fellow Sansha? What are you..."
Zhang Yao was also a little surprised and couldn't help turning his head to look at Taoist Sansha with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Fellow Taoist Qingxu, don't be surprised."
Taoist Sansha said calmly:
"Remember what I said? We are not actually enemies. There is someone else we really need to be wary of!"
He said, staring straight at Fairy Xiaguang, and said in a cold tone:
"I'm afraid you are behind Fairy Feiying's proposal, right? Fairy Xiaguang!"
"You deliberately staged this scene, and you must have a big plan. Do you think we will just slip into your trap and let you control us?"
As soon as this statement came out:
Zhang Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at Fairy Xiaguang. Ancestor Haihe, Ancestor Yuanxu and others were startled for a moment, and their eyes were fixed on Fairy Xiaguang.
"Sansha, what do you mean by this?"
Fairy Xiaguang was startled for a moment, then said angrily:
"What am I planning? If you want to make up an unfounded accusation, you should make up one that is convincing, right? Do you think..."
"okay."
Taoist Sansha interrupted her and said:
"I have always suspected that one of you and Ancestor Haihe has a problem. Now it seems that the person with the problem is you."
"I never knew what was so abnormal about you before. It wasn't until Fairy Feiying stepped forward and exposed herself that I suddenly realized..."
As he spoke, his tone became more and more certain:
"You should be a demon cultivator too! Even this Emerald Palace came to this world because it sensed your bloodline!"
"This proposal of yours must be an act that harbors evil intentions; and you did not propose it during the last exploration because you knew that if you proposed it, it would certainly arouse our vigilance, and the proposal would definitely not be passed, and you would be arrested after you go out. Join forces to target.”
"And this time, because the people who came have different identities and the situation has changed, you will arrange for a strange Fairy Feiying to propose a backdoor to the formation and use the greed of the others to seduce!"
"Although I don't know what kind of back door the builder of this temple left, I guess it's not as simple as just jumping through a level!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"Fairy Xiaguang is a demon cultivator? This..."
Ancestor Haihe was shocked and seemed a little unbelievable.
"No wonder we can become close friends with Fairy Feiying. It's really because of the same origin."
Zhang Yao understood it in his heart and was not too surprised. He had obviously already guessed it.
Sword Immortal Bai Hong and Ancestor Yuanxu looked at each other in confusion. The latter seemed to have recalled something and suddenly said:
"No wonder! No wonder you went directly to Jingguo to travel after you refined the golden elixir; and your master, Fairy Hongxia, who is very old and approaching the end of her life, still insists on representing the Luoxia Sect at the Jade Lake Meeting !”
"I understand now that after you refined the golden elixir, the bloodline of the demon clan also sublimated, but the new concealment method has not yet been perfected, and you did not dare to meet Comrade Dayu, so you ran to Jingguo for temporary refuge!"
"It was probably around that time that you met this golden elixir demon cultivator Fei Ying Fairy in Jingguo..."
As a golden elixir cultivator and a master of Fairy Xiaguang, it is impossible for Fairy Hongxia to be unaware of the fact that her direct disciple is a demon cultivator.
It's just that the sect has no successor, so she can only be forced to admit this fact and help her disciples cover it up. It wasn't until today, many years after she passed away, that she was exposed by Taoist Sansha.
"Xiaguang! What are you planning?"
Baihong Sword Immortal scolded angrily, stared at Fairy Xiaguang and Fairy Feiying warily, and said threateningly:
"If you refuse to explain today, then when we leave the Jade Palace, it will be the day when your Luoxia Sect will be exterminated!"
