The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 875 - 279: Zhou Qing Completely Enraged—Then Let’s Go to War!

Cao Zhengyang was furrowing his brows in thought when he heard the words and replied, "The Phecda Sect currently has three Supreme Elders: Master Yuheng, Master Lingxu, and Dubhe. Why suddenly ask about this?"

Zhou Qing did not answer but slightly raised his hand, beginning to swiftly organize all the clues in his mind.

Upon seeing this, Cao Zhengyang immediately signaled everyone to be silent.

In an instant, everyone present stopped their discussions and all looked at Zhou Qing.

Shen Yunzhou stood aside, filled with surprise.

It was clear that Zhou Qing's status in the Taiqing Sect was indeed quite high, and no one harbored any jealousy.

The gazes of many Peak Masters toward Zhou Qing were filled with adoration and respect.

What a wonderful big family.

In stark contrast to the treatment he and his elder sister experienced in the Shen Family, it inevitably stirred a sour feeling in his heart.

Standing aside, Lu Yaoyao was even more full of admiration, her eyes nearly closed in crescents from smiling.

Indeed, no matter the time, Father was always so wise and dazzling.

At this moment, Zhou Qing was continuously piecing together various clues, gradually forming a conspiracy map rife with undercurrents.

The Corpse Nourishing Land at the barren expanse, originally the mining site of the Phecda Sect, was quietly occupied by the Golden Thunder Sect for secret research.

It wasn't until Shen Yunzhou discovered them that the Golden Thunder Sect hurriedly moved out.

That seemingly defecting Tian Hong appeared to be abandoned by the Golden Thunder Sect, but in fact, he was a deep-planted pawn of the Phecda Sect.

Even the key evidence, the Imaging Stone, was pre-recorded by Master Yuheng and thrown out by Tian Hong.

The Phecda Sect was always adept at veiling secrets; no wonder even a Soul Search spell failed to detect any flaws.

In other words, the Phecda Sect couldn't have been oblivious to the Corpse Yin Sect's land previously.

They stood by, seemingly setting a well-arranged bait, just waiting for the Golden Thunder Sect to take the hook.

But as a sect leader, why would Lei Wuji easily fall into such a trap?

The answer is evident: hidden within the underground cavern must be something enticing enough for Divinity Transformation Realm experts to take the risk.

For cultivators, the temptation to grow stronger is akin to a festering wound, especially the opportunity to break through the Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection and advance to the Spirit Severing Realm, enough to spark desire in anyone's heart; Lei Wuji is no exception.

Following this thread, let's enrich this clue even further.

The weakest in combat power, the Phecda Sect silently set such a massive trap for the Golden Thunder Sect, unraveling them from the root.

Now conveniently, a corpse has been continually attacking the Taiqing Sect's mining area, gradually inciting the sect's rage.

Subsequently, the corpse's image was exposed, and the Golden Thunder Sect's leader ended up in such a state, making the two parties connect almost seamlessly.

Meanwhile, at this time, two Imaging Stones were appropriately delivered here, pointing all blame at the Golden Thunder Sect.

If someone were to fan the flames later, the Taiqing Sect and the Golden Thunder Sect would inevitably go to war.

Should the conflict escalate, such as the explosion of the Thunder Pool, causing both sides to become archenemies and suffer mutual destruction, it would be all the better.

The Cyan Feather Immortal Sect's leader is about to die, leaving only the Cangyan Daoist Palace controlling Sikong Yan's thoughts and decisions through the Heart's Blood.

Should the Taiqing Sect and the Golden Thunder Sect fight to the death, the Phecda Sect would be able to reap the benefits.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

As they say, a biting dog doesn't bark; the Phecda Sect's arrangements are truly terrifying.

Seemingly low-key, but in reality, advancing step by step, manipulating all powers at will, they remain detached and can borrow knives to kill, a masterful manipulator behind the scenes.

Using my Taiqing Sect as a weapon while injuring so many of my disciples, who knows what they might do next to deepen the conflict between the Taiqing Sect and the Golden Thunder Sect?

Add to that the previous counterfeit Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown images, inciting envy from local nobles and even dynasties surrounding us for our Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area; truly a venomous heart, deserving of eradication!

Isn't the Phecda Sect intending to stay hidden, boiling frogs in warm water, leisurely reaping rewards?

Fine, then let's see what it feels like to get burned!

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

The Cyan Feather Immortal Sect now relies on the Taiqing Sect, Immortal Xuan You is dying and poses no threat.

The Golden Thunder Sect faces internal and external troubles, Lei Wuji's bizarre mutation leaves him helpless.

Hence, the real threat remains only the Cangyan Daoist Palace.

Sikong Yan couldn't possibly be unaware of the secret of the Heart's Blood, after all, I, under the number one identity, have long since delivered Master Xuanji's Storage Bag with that drop of Heart's Blood to him for deterrence.

If the Taiqing Sect and the Phecda Sect were to go to war, the Cangyan Daoist Palace would most likely watch from the sidelines, perhaps even delighting in it.

So, right now is instead the best opportunity!

More importantly, after sorting his thoughts, Zhou Qing felt a chill surge from within.

Should the Phecda Sect wish to ignite the flames of war, the real fuse might be the death of a Peak Master uncle or multiple such lives.

Only then can they truly provoke Master.

Regarding the secrets of the Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area, in addition to the Thirteen Peaks' Peak Masters and Supreme Elders, only Sikong Yan and the Phecda Sect are aware.

To ensure that the number one identity is not exposed, this sect must be eradicated completely!

"This person is unreliable!" Zhou Qing stared at Tian Hong's corpse, his killing intent fierce.

Peak Master Ling Yuexiao of Hundred Battle Peak shouted, grabbing Tian Hong's neck with his fan-sized hand like an iron clamp, lifting him into the air: "I also dislike such despicable scoundrels!"

His words barely landed when the overwhelming spiritual power transformed into an invisible giant hand, directly ripping out Tian Hong's Nascent Soul from his sea of consciousness.

As the spiritual power roiled in Ling Yuexiao's palm, the Nascent Soul burst into countless spiritual lights with a "pop."
