The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1020 315: Witch Ancestor Mountain Range, Once Again That Sanctimonious Old Bastard

The two figures swiftly turned, pressing tightly against the protruding rock wall.In that split second, a divine sense, sharp as a sword, swept overhead, so close that it conveyed a chilling killing intent.

Lu Yaoyao's back pressed against the cold rock, her breath even halted.

Zhou Qing squinted, already understanding in his heart.

The strong ones left behind, they were likely those of Supreme Elder level within each sect.

To stealthily infiltrate under the noses of thirteen Divinity Transformation Perfection masters was nearly impossible.

"Two Domains and Thirteen Sects..." Zhou Qing pondered silently, "On the surface, it appears they are collaborating in exploration, but in reality, they are wary of each other, each harboring hidden motives."

He keenly noticed that while the positions of the divine senses of these strong individuals appeared random, they actually concealed profound implications.

Everyone not only monitored the entrance to the ruins but also secretly guarded against companions from other sects.

After all, in front of such ancient ruins, no one wished for other sects to send more people in.

Perhaps, he could even exploit the suspicion among them to find an opportunity!

Just as he contemplated a strategem, several sounds of breaking through the air suddenly came from afar.

A dozen figures soared through the air, and the divine senses of the guarding strong individuals immediately swept over like a tide.

Upon seeing eight people dressed in clothing where black and red intersected, with robes embroidered with flaming emblems, Zhou Qing immediately understood where they came from.

"Tribulation Fire Hall—" Zhou Qing's gaze tightened.

The Western Domain revered the Mixed Element Sect, while the most formidable among the seven sects of the Southern Domain was the Tribulation Fire Hall.

As for the other eight, they all wore black hoods.

At this moment, the leader slowly removed his hood, revealing a face that took Zhou Qing by surprise.

"It's him!" Lu Yaoyao noticed the arrival and quickly tugged at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's mouth curved into a cold smile.

The arrival was none other than the third-level Array Master Wu Tiangang, followed by his direct disciples.

"A self-righteous old fool." Zhou Qing's eyes flickered with cold light.

He still remembered, during the border's attempt to repair the Four-Color Array, this fellow colluded with Su Lishan, causing the array to become unrepairable, nearly blaming Master Lin.

If it weren't for his Daily Reflection, this newly promoted third-level Array Master Lin Daochen's Dao Heart might have already collapsed.

He would not only suffer a lifetime of guilt but also never dare to touch arrays again, while bearing the curses of a million soldiers.

However, later at the Spirit Skull Mountain Secret Realm, Wu Tiangang and Su Lishan were invited respectively by Lingyun Mansion's Mansion Master Xiao Ji, and Vast Mansion's Mansion Master Ke Zhenxiong.

The end result was needless to say, both were severely injured, especially Wu Tiangang, who had half his body destroyed.

Now, it seems, he's recovered quite well.

Whoosh!

A crimson figure suddenly flashed, and the five Divinity Transformation cultivators from Tribulation Fire Hall immediately bowed: "Greetings, Patriarch!"

The Supreme Elder of Tribulation Fire Hall, Xie Chixiao, smiled broadly, respectfully saluting Wu Tiangang: "Master Wu has come from afar, apologies for not welcoming you earlier, please forgive us!"

Wu Tiangang merely nodded slightly, with a proud expression.

In terms of cultivation, both were at Divinity Transformation Perfection.

In terms of array mastery, he was one of only three third-level Array Masters in the Holy Martial Dynasty.

Even the newly advanced Lin Daochen had to humbly seek guidance from him back then.

In terms of contacts, there's no need to mention that.

Even the Spirit Severing Realm's Prince Xuanyuan Shuo had to be polite to him.

"Is this the ruins?" Wu Tiangang asked straightforwardly, scanning the spatial rift ahead with sharp eyes.

Xie Chixiao nodded quickly: "Master, it is our honor for you to come upon invitation. The Hall Master specifically instructed that we must—"

Wu Tiangang impatiently waved his hand to interrupt: "I happen to have free time lately, the conditions your Tribulation Fire Hall promised..."

"Of course that counts!" Xie Chixiao hurriedly responded, a twinge of pain flashing in his eyes, "If the gains are substantial, doubling the reward is not out of the question."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tiangang's eyes gleamed brightly, satisfiedly stroking his beard.

"That's good. But as for safety, I'll rely entirely on you all. During the breaking array, I need my full concentration."

"Master, rest assured!" Xie Chixiao assured, patting his chest.

"Old Xie!" Just at this moment, a sinister voice suddenly came from nowhere.

"We had agreed in advance, each sect can only send twenty people. Since your Tribulation Fire Hall has hired external assistance, you should balance the numbers."

Xie Chixiao's face darkened, snorted coldly: "Rest assured, my Tribulation Fire Hall does not violate rules."

Speaking, he took out a specially made Jade Scroll, and forcefully crushed it.

The Jade Scroll turned into flowing light and dispersed, merging into the spatial rift behind...
