1144: Chapter 292_2 1144: Chapter 292_2 At the same time, as the two of them got a clear look at the newcomer, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in unison, filled with disbelief.
Wasn’t that woman the Immortal Bi Yue of the Dragon Chant Sect?
It wasn’t strange for Immortal Bi Yue to be here, but what was strange was that Immortal Bi Yue was actually with a male cultivator, working together.
Immortal Bi Yue never moved alone with a male cultivator.
What was even more outrageous was that the male cultivator was actually holding Immortal Bi Yue in his arms!
Could it be that this was Immortal Bi Yue’s Dao Companion?
But there had been no word of Immortal Bi Yue having a Dao Companion!
If Immortal Bi Yue had a Dao Companion, it certainly would have spread across the entire Eastern Province by now.
Why hadn’t they heard anything about it?
After Cao Zhen and Bi Yue landed, they looked straight at the bamboo flute in front of them.
These pieces of bamboo seemed to be missing a section.
Cao Zhen gently touched the bamboo flute, then Bi Yue, after picking up the bamboo flute that Cao Zhen had just laid down, also touched it, and then looked up to ask Cao Zhen, “This place, should be to find a certain kind of bamboo, right?
Do you know where we should go to find it?”
Cao Zhen shook his head lightly, “I don’t know.”
Those tigers, he could judge by their roars.
These pieces of bamboo, where could he look for them?
Bamboo can’t make noise by itself.
“Then let’s just wait here.”
Upon hearing this, Immortal Bi Yue didn’t leave, but waited there instead.
“Wait?” A look of surprise appeared on Cao Zhen’s face.
“Yes, just wait here,” Immortal Bi Yue replied with a smile, glancing at the people from the Demon Sound Sect and the grey-robed man with a bamboo hat.
It wasn’t long before Cao Zhen understood why Immortal Bi Yue wanted to wait here.
In the span of two incense sticks’ time, two black silhouettes flew across the void.
Judging by their attire, these two were clearly also from the Demon Sound Sect.
The two landed and, upon seeing Immortal Bi Yue and the unfamiliar man standing next to her, their expressions revealed astonishment.
Immortal Bi Yue standing alone with a man?
While the two were still in shock, the figure of Immortal Bi Yue suddenly shot into the air, blocking their path, and with a pale hand stretched forward simply said, “You’ve got the bamboo, haven’t you?
How about giving me one?”
Since Cao Zhen didn’t know where to find bamboo and there were only two of them, who also needed to go out and look for bamboo, while others had been searching for who knows how long, how could they find it faster than others?
It was much simpler to just snatch it.
Anyway, she didn’t recognize the man in the grey robe, and some of the others were from the Demonic Path; they were naturally at odds with the Demonic Path, so who else should she rob if not them?
The reason she hadn’t snatched it when she first arrived at the first tower was that she had been there first, and moreover, the people from the Five Sounds Sect still needed her help to overcome the Sect Tribulation.
Mainly because, just like her Dragon Chant Sect, the Five Sounds Sect was of the Righteous Path, it wouldn’t look good to simply start robbing.
Another reason was that at that moment, she truly believed Cao Zhen was just a cultivator with a Nine Abnormal Phenomenon Golden Pills.
She was afraid that if others were provoked, they would gang up on Cao Zhen.
But the situation now was different.
Although she had told Cao Zhen to hide his strength and only reveal it if someone tried to scheme against them, context mattered.
Now, going out to find bamboo might mean giving away the tower to others.
In her view, even if Cao Zhen revealed his true strength, as long as they could snatch the bamboo and enter the tower, it would be worth it.
Besides, maybe Cao Zhen wouldn’t need to take action.
The two recognized that Immortal Bi Yue was suddenly robbing them, and their expressions immediately turned cold.
They recognized the person before them and knew she was a being at the limit of the Golden Core Period, but they were also people of the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, and besides, their senior brother was there; they were three, and they, the three, weren’t necessarily afraid of just Immortal Bi Yue.
Moreover, they were disciples from a Great Teaching; to be robbed by Bi Yue and just hand over their stuff so neatly, where would that leave their dignity?
Just as the two were about to talk tough, the voice of their elder brother’s telepathic transmission rang in their ears, “How many pieces of bamboo did you get?”
One of the two immediately replied, “Hui Yin elder brother, we got three pieces.”
“Give her one.
I’ve already grasped the musical rhythm inside the tower, and with the bamboo, I’m sure I can enter.
Bi Yue is not a person who cultivates through the Musical Rhythm.
It seems likely that the person next to her, understands the Musical Rhythm.
Although I haven’t seen that person and I’ve never heard of such an expert among those who cultivate through musical elements, to be with Bi Yue, his understanding of the Musical Rhythm must be considerable.
But they’ve arrived too late.
In such a short time, he couldn’t possibly have understood the flute sound within the tower.
Even if we give Bi Yue a piece of bamboo, she can’t enter the tower.”
“Elder brother, we understand.” Hearing this, one of the two immediately took out a piece of bamboo from the Qiankun Bag and tossed it towards Bi Yue, saying as he threw, “Immortal Bi Yue, since you’re so polite, then here’s a piece of bamboo for you.”
With that, they had already flown past Immortal Bi Yue, heading toward their senior brother.
Bi Yue didn’t pay attention to the two men, but instead, holding the bamboo, flew to Cao Zhen’s side and handed him the bamboo.
This bamboo, like the tiger skin, was very simple; it just needed to be trimmed and attached to the broken part of the flute, and then, with mana, a hole was to be made in the bamboo.
