The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 788 - 257: I Am the Shitian Emperor, Let the Shit Come!
As Shen Hanyi left, Zhou Qing was also instantly expelled from the forbidden area's scene.
Transforming back into a red sphere, he thought of that crazy young man, and felt a mix of emotions. Besides the lingering nausea, he surprisingly felt like laughing.
"Shitian Emperor?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but sigh, gently shaking his head with a wry smile on his face.
Then, he slowly surveyed the quiet space and recalled Sikong Yan, who had just left not long ago.
Prince Xuanyuan Fengtai turned out to be the mastermind behind the Five Sects War? This truly surprised him.
It seemed the two sides were supposed to be cooperating, so why did Sikong Yan suddenly backstab and ruthlessly attack them?
Fine, if he wanted to kill them, he did, but why tell him about it?
He knew that if he disclosed this matter to others, Sikong Yan would face relentless pursuit with nowhere to escape.
Not to mention the two terrifying Spirit Severing Realm experts from the Xuanyuan Clan; even the entire Holy Martial Dynasty's other sects, who had received favors from the Xuanyuan Clan, might relentlessly chase Sikong Yan to repay the debt.
"No, he's testing me!" Quickly, a flash of insight struck Zhou Qing as he seemed to grasp the crucial point.
The two versions of his senior brother, Gao Xuan, must have disclosed the Taiqing Sect's forbidden area matters to Sikong Yan. Otherwise, the Phecda Sect wouldn't be so fixated on it, nor would they intend to share the post-incident benefits.
And here, at the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, Sikong Yan had seen his forbidden area scene, so he wanted to determine exactly who he was within the Taiqing Sect.
As for the exact method Sikong Yan would use to probe, Zhou Qing still couldn't guess.
But he firmly believed that once he leaked the news of the prince's murder, Sikong Yan would undoubtedly expose the forbidden area incident.
By then, the Xuanyuan family in the Imperial City would surely take a keen interest in the matter.
Perhaps even his number one token at the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace might end up with a new owner.
Upon thinking this, Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly.
From start to finish, he had never underestimated the sect leaders of the Five Sects in the Eastern Domain.
Including his master uncle, Cao Zhengyang, each was a cunning old fox, all calculating their strategies in this complex game of interests.
"Fine, I'll take it step by step!" Zhou Qing exhaled softly and re-entered his forbidden area scene.
As his body reformed, a terrifying sense of gravity assailed him, making his movements instantly sluggish.
Without further thought, Zhou Qing unleashed the tetanus in his hand, its cold light flickering.
At this moment, the ground in front unexpectedly shattered, debris flying.
Then, a familiar skeleton leaped out from below.
The colossal skull's hollow eyes, where the corpse of the first sect leader Guo Guiqi lay with a twisted face, stared coldly at Zhou Qing.
"Junior Zhou Qing, I apologize!" Zhou Qing spoke softly and then launched his attack first...
...
Just like that, until seven days later, channel six finally came back online, and Zhou Qing hesitated briefly before entering.
Indeed, the blue sphere that Shen Hanyi had turned into did not enter the forbidden area scene, but hovered there quietly, evidently waiting for him all along.
"I really apologize for last time!" Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Shen Hanyi sincerely apologized right away.
Zhou Qing's lips slightly curled up, teasing, "Did Shitian Emperor get sent to the little black room?"
Shen Hanyi's pupils immediately contracted, "You even know about my little black room?"
Zhou Qing: "..."
Isn't that a common punishment area for most sects? Isn't it common knowledge?
"How about we play a little game? You give me a bit of information about you, and I'll slowly figure it out, okay?"
Shen Hanyi blinked, looking somewhat expectant, negotiating with him.
