The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 857 - 275: Hey, Buddy, Fighting Is Fine but Let Me Breathe, Okay? (6k)
Zhou Qing had no interest in Xuanyuan Shuo’s plan.
He did not intend to stay any longer and was ready to return to call Shen Yunzhou to leave.
Then, as he gazed at the twenty top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones lying quietly in the storage bag, a wave of excitement surged through Zhou Qing.
"If all goes well, at least I can gather two more Phoenix Dao Patterns!" Zhou Qing murmured to himself, his eyes full of anticipation.
With that, he would only be one short of being able to manifest the Blood Wing Illusion and condense the Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal.
It seems that to find such rare Five Elements Spirit Stones, one must look for those wealthy Spirit Severing Realms.
"Zhou, Zhou——" Just then, a figure on the distant ground suddenly emerged, looking at Zhou Qing with eyes full of admiration.
Zhou Qing was taken aback.
Wasn’t Shen Yunzhou at the border? Since when did he come here?
"Wow, your divine technique is amazing, your whole body is filled with a wild aura, anyone unaware would think you’re a purebreed Golden-winged Roc!"
Shen Yunzhou, who had approached, was filled with wonder, clicking his tongue as he constantly looked Zhou Qing up and down.
Hearing this, Zhou Qing suddenly understood, knowing that this guy had already figured out everything.
Cautiously scanning his surroundings and confirming there was nothing unusual, he suddenly sank and plunged down, then transformed back into his original form.
"Since you’re here, it’s just as well. We don’t need to return to the border. Let’s head straight inland!" Zhou Qing looked at Shen Yunzhou and said calmly.
Shen Yunzhou nodded slightly, a hint of a smile on his face.
He said, "That’s fine. This time, you can take my flying ship, it’s fast and will save us a lot of time. By the way, tell me how you acquired this divine ability to transform into a Golden-winged Roc?"
Zhou Qing gave a light laugh and said, "Alright, it’s thanks to your sister. I’ll explain on the way!"
...
Thus, more than half a month later, the two appeared again in the Vast Mansion region. It must be said, the speed of a flying ship from a fifth-level cultivation country is indeed fast.
To some extent, it almost reached the level of spatial travel.
Noticing the envy in Zhou Qing’s eyes, Shen Yunzhou sincerely said, "In theory, to repay your lifesaving grace, I could give it to you unconditionally."
"But I’m now in the Divinity Transformation Realm, and the region of the fifth-level cultivation country is dozens of times larger than the fourth-level, the main issue is that going home is too inconvenient, and unexpected events can easily happen on the way."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "Brother Shen, you don’t need to say that. I have a flying ship too. Although it’s not as good as yours, it’s quite close. It was specially crafted for me by the entire Taiqing Sect."
Shen Yunzhou had already noticed this; Zhou Qing’s flying ship was exquisite, especially in a remote area like a fourth-level cultivation region, it was quite remarkable.
"Your Taiqing Sect is truly admirable. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a sect so united and working towards the same goal!"
Shen Yunzhou’s face was full of envy when he said this.
Zhou Qing was moved.
With Shen Hanyi now being at the Late-stage Spirit Severing Realm, such a powerful person still had to act with caution in the Shen family. Just what kind of situation is your family in?
An enormous entity perhaps?
Just as Zhou Qing wanted to subtly inquire, fierce fighting sounds suddenly came from not far ahead.
The two immediately looked in the direction of the sounds, seeing dozens of people besieging one individual, and the curses were quite vulgar.
The besieged person wore a gray robe and deliberately concealed their face, but even so, the large belly was conspicuously evident.
"Lady Li——" Zhou Qing stood up from the flying ship in surprise.
Didn’t Li Shitao say she was about to give birth? And took a top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stone with her.
Looking at her appearance, is she stealing others’ Spirit Medicine again?
Shen Yunzhou also halted the flying ship in midair and exclaimed, "Is that Lady Li? I mean, so many people bullying a pregnant woman, don’t they have any shame?"
At this scene, Shen Yunzhou was instantly enraged, ready to lend a hand, but was gently held back by Zhou Qing.
He too hesitated. Last time, when he and Yan passed through the Vast Mansion, even three Nascent Souls were chasing her.
Now it’s the same, aside from her muddled mind, constantly plundering Spirit Medicine painstakingly cultivated by others, was wrong from the start.
All of it was her own doing.
She was the trigger in the battle of Canglan Mountain. Last time, offering help was out of kinship, but there’s a limit to forgiveness.
No, more precisely, asking for top-grade spirit stones from Li Shitao and Xiao Cancan, even Shen Yunzhou did it to requite his own debt, there have already been multiple chances given.
If he helps again, it would feel like aiding the wrongdoer.
Moreover, she may be pitiable, but she used it to reach the Nascent Soul Realm and ascend to Divinity Transformation. Everything was her own choice.
"What are you doing? Isn’t she an old acquaintance of yours? You’re just going to watch so many people bully her?"
Being held back by the arm, Shen Yunzhou was indignant, more so in disbelief.
Zhou Qing was momentarily at a loss for an explanation.
He had to say, "Lady Li is in the Late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm, while the strongest among them is merely mid-stage Nascent Soul. Rest assured, she won’t come to any harm."
Shen Yunzhou sensed it, and it indeed seemed so.
It left him even more puzzled.
A few Nascent Souls and a large number of Golden Cores attacking a Divinity Transformation realm?
And Lady Li, although resisting, hadn’t harmed them at all?
Are both sides unclear about their own strengths?
What a strange occurrence this was?
At that moment, Lady Li inadvertently looked back. When she saw Zhou Qing glancing toward this direction from the flying ship in the distance, a light of disbelief flashed in her previously terrified eyes.
