The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 843 - 271: Amitabha, I Am Jue Ming the Monk, Here to Find Someone!

"Old Fourth, what exactly happened?" Yan Xiaohu asked.

Zhou Qing said, "This is a matter between Xuanyuan Shuo and me, unrelated to you. Don't worry, considering Second Uncle, he won't do anything to me. Hurry and get some food for Brother Jiang."

Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing, feeling a wave of helplessness rising in his heart.

As a senior, not only was my cultivation far behind Old Fourth, now I couldn't even offer any help.

He then nodded and flew towards Divine Peak using sword control.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Pojun came to bid farewell the next day, ready to return and report.

"Be careful on the road!" Zhou Qing simply reminded.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Pojun sighed deeply and hesitated before saying, "Zhou, what conditions might you need to be willing to help? I believe as long as the conditions are reasonable, nothing is unsolvable."

Seeing Jiang Pojun look troubled, Zhou Qing suddenly had a thought and said, "Mainly I really need to retreat and cultivate, but—"

Hearing Zhou Qing's hesitant words, Jiang Pojun's eyes suddenly brightened.

As a soldier, he had come here promising the Prince to definitely bring Zhou Qing back.

Faced with the situation, he had to think of ways to recover as much as possible.

"Say it, any condition is negotiable!" Jiang Pojun quickly said.

Zhou Qing said, "Ten top-grade wood attribute Spirit Stones, and I can give up this hard-earned enlightenment opportunity."

Doing something you shouldn't comes with a price; it's up to you if you're willing to pay.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Pojun's smile instantly froze.

Zhou Qing then smiled slightly and bowed, saying, "Wishing you a safe trip!"

Jiang Pojun, coming to his senses, sighed and returned the salute, then left piloting a flying ship.

And Zhou Qing looked seriously at the flying ship gradually disappearing into the sky, exhaling deeply.

Xuanyuan Shuo, a mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm expert, would not willingly pay ten wood attribute Spirit Stones for a failed soul search.

This almost outrageous demand was merely a way left for negotiation.

But he couldn't block off this option entirely, given the opponent was after all a mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm expert.

Even if not for his own sake, he had to think about Taiqing Sect.

Moreover, when departing from the border, he did promise Xuanyuan Shuo to assist with Demon Realm affairs.

If only he hadn't overstepped first.

And these top-grade wood attribute Spirit Stones were a step for him to retreat, depending on the sincerity of the offer.

Of course, after deep consideration last night, he had one more concern—Chief Eunuch Gao Xianzhong was still here.

If Xuanyuan Shuo hinted anything, it would be another troublesome matter for Taiqing Sect.

Just returned and saw Lu Yaoyao arriving.

Her face full of worry, she hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhou, what exactly happened between you and Xuanyuan Shuo?"

Initially clueless, but Yan Xiaohu anxiously came to ask if she knew anything.

After all, she spent the most time with Zhou Qing, she might know some details.

Zhou Qing forced himself to smile, "You all are getting worked up over nothing, really, it's fine, no worries."

He paused, then added, "Right, the next month or so I plan to retreat again, so please handle Brother Shen's hospitality."

Seeing Zhou Qing unwilling to elaborate, Lu Yaoyao felt embarrassed to ask further, so she nodded quietly.

So as the seventh day arrived, the ethereal aura from the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree grew stronger, Zhou Qing began his retreat filled with excitement.

Looks like the trip to the border was inevitable, whether facing Xuanyuan Shuo or other Demon Emperors, indeed he had to prepare more survival tactics.

Thus, this time he will comprehend the second Phoenix Dao Pattern, it's a crucial trump card.

Upon learning Zhou Qing was retreating, Shen Yunzhou did not leave.

He felt this matter was related to his sister, or was caused by seeking the Transforming Divine Medicine for her.

One should be loyal, having caused this mess, naturally he couldn't stand idly by.

"Mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm, so what?" he whispered, fingers brushing over the secret treasure left by his sister in the storage bag, eyes flashing with determination, "At worst, we'll fight to the death."

...

Meanwhile, outside the majestic gate of the Golden Thunder Sect, amidst clouds and mist, a large and small figure slowly walked up from the mountain base.

The older monk wore a simple but clean gray robe, his deep and serene gaze exuding compassion and harmony.

The young monk wore slightly oversized robes, still showing some innocence, eyes filled with curiosity and liveliness.

"Amitabha, I am monk Jue Ming, and this is my disciple Kong Chan, pardon our abrupt visit to your sect!"

The elder monk clasped hands, smiling, his voice sonorous and melodious, looking towards the gate of Golden Thunder Sect.

At this moment, Elder Gong Zhen emerged, looking at these two monks, puzzled.

"Master, may I ask you have business?" Elder Gong Zhen slightly frowned, asked.

Being a Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator, unable to perceive the older monk's cultivation level, filled him with vigilance.

The monk claiming to be Jue Ming nodded slightly, keeping a smiling face, eyes gentle as he looked at Gong Zhen.

He slowly said, "Forgive me, Elder, my disciple and I have come to seek someone, hoping Elder can allow a bit of leniency."

Saying so, Monk Jue Ming clasped hands again, bowing slightly, showing utmost respect.
