The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 867 - 277: Wait, Did Shen Yunzhou Really Transform into a Dog Demon? (6k)
Mo Xingjian stroked his long beard and contemplated, "I think Old Fourth’s analysis is correct; the other party definitely wouldn’t go through all this trouble just for the sake of courtesy."
Cao Zhengyang scratched his head irritably, saying, "Then what do you suggest we do? It’s a matter of one or two years before Gao comes out of seclusion, and if he finds out his daughter is still alive, he’d go through hell and high water to get to her."
Mo Xingjian sighed, "Never underestimate a father’s love for his daughter."
At this moment, he couldn’t help but think of the Second Miss, unaware of her whereabouts.
If she were to encounter any mishap, he truly couldn’t imagine what reckless actions he might take.
But undeniably, he would annihilate entire families, flatten sects, and even overturn the nine heavenly palaces to grind his enemies to dust!
The atmosphere grew heavy; this matter indeed requires careful planning.
At least as long as Gao Xuan hasn’t emerged from his retreat, they have time to strategize, and if they can rescue Nannan quietly, all the better.
"By the way! What about the good news you mentioned earlier? Don’t just keep us hanging with bad news," Cao Zhengyang suddenly recalled something and abruptly looked at Zhou Qing.
Mo Xingjian also let out a long breath and turned to look, "Hopefully this good news will dispel some bad luck."
Zhou Qing rubbed his brow with a bitter smile, then said, "It’s still about Consort Chen, to be precise, it’s about her two elder sisters. Strictly speaking, it began when Master Lin and I helped them repair the Four-Color Array..."
As time passed, the two initially listening to gossip ended up with wide eyes, rapid breathing, and heaving chests.
When Zhou Qing finished speaking, Cao Zhengyang suddenly grabbed his wrist, his voice quivering, "Are you saying... it’s all true?"
Mo Xingjian also clenched his fists tightly, his Adam’s apple moving up and down, "Spirit Severing Realm... actually two Spirit Severing ones!"
"I initially considered refusing," Zhou Qing opened his hands helplessly, "but once the academy disbanded, they truly had nowhere else to go..."
"You dared to refuse?!" Cao Zhengyang nearly jumped up, veins bulging on his forehead, "If you truly turned them away, I would go to the back mountain and crash into a monument right now!"
Mo Xingjian abruptly burst into laughter, "Five years, five years, ah, good, good, indeed extraordinary!"
Cao Zhengyang gasped for breath, pinching his arm, fearing it was all a dream.
"Back when I sent you to the White Jade Taixu Courtyard, I had many worries. But your master argued that you shouldn’t be restricted too tightly, or else even if you grow up, you’d be merely a facade."
"Now it seems, my foresight wasn’t expansive enough, nearly losing the chance to gain refuge from two Spirit Severing experts!" Cao Zhengyang said with emotion.
Zhou Qing smiled slightly but still reminded them, "Lu Yuanzhi and Lu Yuanjiu are both from the Fox Race. I trust their character, but some matters should be clarified in advance."
With that said, Zhou Qing briefly discussed the potential threats from the Royal Family and concerns related to the Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area.
The two gradually grew calm.
Therefore, once they step into the Spirit Severing Realm, they must remain unknown to the Royal Family, serving as Taiqing Sect’s most secretive and formidable trump card, hidden deep within the sect.
Along with Pocket World, the small world with five coffins, the first-generation ancestor, among other series, things mustn’t be left to fall into trouble, for inviting the gods is easy, but sending them away is hard.
After all, no one can predict the terrifying power unleashed when two Spirit Severing masters join forces.
"With both good and bad news, we truly need to plan carefully for this. Leave this matter aside for now, we’ll further deliberate on future arrangements. You’ve been on the road exhaustively, so take a good rest first." Mo Xingjian waved his hand, his eyes showing concern.
Zhou Qing nodded slightly and respectfully saluted, "Then I shall take my leave first."
When Zhou Qing stepped out of Divine Peak, he saw Lu Yaoyao standing on tiptoe, anxiously looking outside the door.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiaohu was holding an Identity Token, focusing on processing the messages one by one.
Noticing Zhou Qing’s figure, the two hurriedly came forward.
"Brother Zhou, nothing happened this time, right?" Lu Yaoyao asked with eyes full of worry.
Yan Xiaohu examined Zhou Qing up and down, noticing his rosy complexion and spirited demeanor, guessing that he hadn’t experienced the Soul Search by the old beast, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Qing looked at them and lightly reassured, "It’s okay, don’t worry. However..."
He vigilantly checked his surroundings, ensuring no one was around, then lowered his voice to briefly explain Lu Yuanzhi’s situation.
Upon hearing this, the two displayed expressions of surprise and joy, especially Lu Yaoyao, whose hands clenched tightly with excitement.
After all, Master Lu treated her exceptionally well. If they truly break through to the Spirit Severing Realm, the benefits for her cultivation guidance and the entire sect would be immeasurable.
"Keep this confidential, do not spread it!" Zhou Qing reminded.
The two immediately nodded to show understanding.
"Alright, I need to find Brother Shen. On this return trip, thanks to his Flying Ship, I saved a lot of time. I ought to thank him." Zhou Qing said.
Lu Yaoyao quickly said, "Big Brother Shen went to see Senior Brother Li."
Zhou Qing was slightly startled, confused, "Why is he seeing Brother Li? Those two shouldn’t be familiar with each other."
Lu Yaoyao said, "Learning you had returned, I immediately went to Little Spirit Peak, but not finding you, he emerged from the guest area with a discontented look."
"He said he was feeling upset and needed to find someone to vent his feelings. He asked me if I knew anyone suitable."
