The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 827 - 267: No Wonder Dad Never Wanted to Mention This Uncle
Then, there's only the Golden Thunder Sect left to survive between the two powerful forces.
Never underestimate those opponents who deliberately show weakness.
This Golden Thunder Sect is not to be underestimated!
Shen Yunzhou scratched his head as he watched Zhou Qing's departing figure, feeling a bit clueless.
Quickly, Mo Xingjian, who obtained the imaging stone, contacted Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang with a grave expression after checking it.
Within half an hour, in the Council Hall of Divine Peak, everyone but the five secluded Peak Masters had gathered.
The Peak Master of Danhua Peak was the first to break the silence: "Lei Wuji suddenly appearing in the abandoned mining area of Phecda Sect is indeed strange."
However, the Peak Master of Profound Ice Peak dismissed it with a smirk.
"What's there to fear? The Cyan Feather Immortal Sect now works for us, and Mo brought back many secrets from Immortal Xuan You. The Golden Thunder Sect barely has any strong figures left."
The Peak Master of Yunmeng Peak agreed: "Exactly! They failed to refine the Nine Nether Lotus Seed, one person fell, and another was seriously injured."
"The Golden Thunder Sect now has only five Supreme Elders at Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection, and Lei Wuji is merely at the late stage of Divinity Transformation."
Hearing this, everyone relaxed, whispering disdainfully.
Cao Zhengyang swept his sharp gaze across them all: "Getting complacent, are we? Don't forget, you've been at Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection for less than two years!"
The hall fell silent immediately, faces filled with embarrassment, heads lowered.
But, speaking of which, the Taiqing Sect now boasts eight Supreme Elders, along with their Peak Masters, totaling sixteen Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection experts.
Even if the Golden Thunder Sect and Phecda Sect join forces, they can completely crush them.
"Zhou Qing, what's your take?" Cao Zhengyang turned his gaze to Zhou Qing, who had been silent.
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Although it feels a bit overblown, I still think we can't let our guard down, especially since the Fifth Prince fell in the Eastern Domain..."
He actually wanted to tell everyone that the Fifth Prince was the one behind the Five Sects War, but that was something Sikong Yan had told him in the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace.
Once you open a can of worms with some matters, there's no closing them back up.
Cao Zhengyang nodded after listening, then looked at the fellow junior brothers and sisters.
"I've checked, the Fifth Prince Xuanyuan Fengtai is at early-stage Divinity Transformation but had three Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection guardians with him."
"Yet, they were quietly slain, the scene cleaned meticulously; the perpetrator is no ordinary being."
"From the Five Sects War to the Canglan Mountain's Old Peng King ruins, Beast Tide Battle, Spirit Skull Mountain Spirit Severing Realm's fall, and now the Fifth Prince incident, the Eastern Domain is rife with chaos. We must stay vigilant."
Everyone exchanged glances, their expressions grave; the previous scornful attitude vanished.
"You all saw that Lei Wuji's condition seemed seriously off, and indeed, we hadn't heard from that guy in ages."
Mo Xingjian continued, "Didn't Mr. Shen say he smelled something strange there? I believe it's best to investigate personally."
The Peak Masters nodded in agreement.
"I shall follow the Sect Leader Brother's orders!"
...
Shen Yunzhou was a bit dazed, seeing ten Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection behind Zhou Qing, blinking his eyes.
Meanwhile, several people, including Duanmu Shu, were curiously sizing up Shen Yunzhou.
According to Zhou Qing, this child is the brother of the silver-haired Spirit Severing Realm elder?
He must be well looked after.
After all, last time Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao successfully assisted that elder; now, his brother is here, it seems to be a good omen.
Some connections are established quietly like this.
"These are the Supreme Elders of the Taiqing Sect, this is the Sect Leader, and this is my master..." Zhou Qing introduced them one by one.
Shen Yunzhou quickly came to his senses, hastily bowing respectfully. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
He never imagined a sect from a fourth-level Cultivation Country would hide such astonishing power.
Cao Zhengyang was amiable, saying, "Please lead the way, Mr. Shen, we will take a look together, if there's anything you need inside, feel free to take it."
Hearing this, Shen Yunzhou finally reacted, looking at Zhou Qing with a face full of gratitude.
Oh, so you're mobilizing such forces for me?
Thank you, really, thank you so much!
Soon after, several people boarded Shen Yunzhou's flying ship, heading towards that piece of desert...
Five days later!
A vast, endless red desert appeared before everyone.
Under the scorching sun, the twisted heat waves were clearly visible, and in the sky, flocks of vultures occasionally cried out.
To stay hidden, everyone put away the flying ship, traveling low with sword control.
"That's the place, Brother Zhou, you're an Array Master and have helped me before; you will see it better than I can... Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, where have you gone?"
Shen Yunzhou turned back, but Zhou Qing's figure was nowhere in sight.
The others' expressions changed too, immediately looking forward.
"Could the child have gone to explore alone?" Cao Zhengyang worriedly said.
Mo Xingjian sighed softly, about to move forward to take a look, when suddenly a light cough sounded from beside them.
"Ah, don't worry, I'm right here," Zhou Qing's voice came from nearby.
Everyone was stunned, realizing Zhou Qing had been quietly standing right there all along, seemingly never having left.
But, he was clearly gone just now.
Seeing ghosts in broad daylight?
Soon, even the Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu and others felt a bit embarrassed.
Clearly such a strong group came to investigate, and yet they inexplicably got nervous.
Shen Yunzhou rubbed his eyes, feeling somewhat self-mocking.
