45 Conflict 10

Zi Hua had dropped some gas bombs around the sect, when it enters their system, unless they had consumed the antidote, blood would ooze out everywhere and they would eventually die of blood loss, the poison was colorless and odorless making it undetectable.

Luckily, the gas goes away after a day and doesn't travel far so Zi Hua wouldn't have to be worried about it spreading and hurting unrelated people.

The key to activate those gas bombs was blood, with the fight just now, blood was dripping everywhere and due to the amount of disciples the battles spread out throughout the sect, once one of them sets off, blood will be abundant causing the rest of the bombs to follow after.

This was the price for going against her!

Not long after the fight, people started to show the symptoms of Zi Hua's concoction, this further incited the conflict due to suspicions of poisoning from the opposition, it was no longer about the two geniuses but rather something else of an even larger scale.

They were ignorant fools who didn't know the truth, falling right into her trap, Zi Hua and her friends watched them make a fool of themselves but left not long later since there's no point watching a boring show which you already know the ending of.

"Zi Hua, you can visit me anytime at Deep Sky Dragon Sect, take this, it's my token, seeing this is the same as seeing me, just show them this and they'll let you in" Tang Zen Zen handed a blue jade with her name inscribed on it over.

"Thank you, if you need help smash this, it'll tell me your location and I'll rush over" Zi Hua gave her a small stone, it was like what Xia Wen Ya had gotten from that Dai guy but it will tell her the location of where it was smashed and allows Zi Hua to teleport to any location that the stone has been.

"I hope I won't ever need to use this" Tang Zen Zen gave a joyful smile, she could sense the care and concern Zi Hua had towards her.

"But you can never be too cautious" Zi Hua has always been a cautious person, it was a trait she was forced to pick up under the oppression, she wouldn't have even had the chance of revenge if she hadn't, they would've blocked her means of learning if they had found out, leaving her helpless, it would be the same as taking away a scholar's pen and paper, having the talent and ideas yet no place to put it to use.

They parted ways and Zi Hua headed back to Lightning Purple Phoenix Sect alone, she had sent Anemone and Gardenia back to the base.

It wasn't that she doesn't trust her subordinates since she believes in the phrase 'don't suspect those you govern', suspicion had led to many exceptional subordinates suffering unjustly, evident in the various dynasties, however them knowing too much can bring them harm.

She had brought them to this continent due it having denser Qi and as they got higher in cultivation, they would also have a harder time breaking through so getting a boost in Qi in the surroundings for a bit would help.

Zi Hua wanted to bring them to higher continents where there's more Qi however, that would also mean getting closer to the foe.

The disciples who were guarding the entrance were still the same ones from when she had first arrived so they immediately let her in and one of them rushed to inform the elders and Sect leader.

When the disciple informed them, they immediately rushed to greet Zi Hua, they had low hopes and were quite hesitant with agreeing on her plan, they were unsure of her level but seeing her age they deemed that it wasn't very high.

As soon as they caught sight of her, they examined her with their eyes to check for injuries, only after seeing her fine and well did they relax, they couldn't let anything happen to the person who was entrusted to them by their lord.

"Guest! It's great that you're back! Let us head to the hall, you must be tired" They headed to the hall where the disciples had prepared snacks.
