The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1015 314: The Royal Family's Scheme, News of Second Senior Sister

"Indeed, what's the matter?"Xuanyuan Yichen nodded and said, "What's the matter?"

"Have you seen my Master Brother, Ghost Mastiff?" Zhou Qing asked urgently.

"I did catch a glimpse of him briefly, accompanied by several people. I was occupied with official duties and couldn't greet him. Later, when I sought him, he was nowhere to be found."

Xuanyuan Yichen thought for a moment and replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing felt somewhat relieved.

At least it proved that his Master Brother was safe and sound.

Just at this moment, Xuanyuan Shuo stood up to take his leave, "We must go to Cangyan Daoist Palace to express gratitude, so we won't disturb you further."

Then he looked at Zhou Qing with deep meaning and said, "Zhou Young Friend, how about accompanying this old man for a walk?"

Zhou Qing had no choice but to follow.

The two strolled to the mountain gate, and Xuanyuan Shuo suddenly transmitted a message.

"Whenever you find the time, visit the border again. The territory of the Qinluo Beast has lost another Spirit Severing Realm, and it's still unclear who this person is."

"That timid Flood Dragon Emperor has already gone to Great Demon Mountain to seek the Peng Emperor several times, only to be brushed off by that old monkey, saying the Peng Emperor is in seclusion."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "I have some matters to attend to here, but when I have time, I will certainly go."

Xuanyuan Shuo slightly nodded, bid farewell to Cao Zhengyang and others, and boarded the flying ship again, heading towards Cangyan Daoist Palace.

Once the royal family's flying ship completely vanished into the horizon, the figures of the Lu sisters appeared like smoke beside Zhou Qing.

"Honored Seniors, is the current Emperor a Spirit Severing Realm?" Zhou Qing suddenly spoke, his voice extremely low.

Lu Yuanjiu gently shook his head and said, "This is really uncertain, at least it's publicly claimed to be so. Currently, on the surface, the Xuanyuan Family only has the Old Emperor and Xuanyuan Shuo as Spirit Severing Realm."

"Ha!" Lu Yuanzhi sneered, a glint of coldness flashing in her eyes, "Since they've mastered the method to break through the Spirit Severing Realm, how could they not first think of strengthening their own family?"

"After all, outsiders are ultimately ungrateful wolves, nowhere near as reassuring as your own family."

Lu Yuanjiu exhaled deeply and said, "This is pretty much as I imagined, especially when Chen, that silly girl, brought so many Nine Nether Lotus Seeds to the capital back then..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing fell silent, gazing into the distance.

For some reason, he suddenly had a feeling.

Sikong Yan went to the capital perhaps for the Spirit Severing Realm method, just like Consort Chen in the past.

At the very least, it might be related!

Thus, two days later, news arrived that after Xuanyuan Shuo and others went to Cangyan Daoist Palace, they were received by a Supreme Elder due to Sikong Yan's absence.

The two parties merely conversed for half a day before leaving.

But within days, rumors about the Eastern Domain's two major sects forging alliances with the imperial family were rampant.

"Have you heard? Taiqing Sect and Cangyan Daoist Palace are both going to submit to the imperial family!"

"No wonder a Spirit Severing Realm personally visited, bearing lavish gifts..."

"Looks like the Eastern Domain is going to see a major change!"

"In recent years, hasn't there been plenty of changes in the Eastern Domain?"

...

Cao Zhengyang heard these rumors, his face darkened like water.

"No wonder they made such a grand display; they truly don't miss a single opportunity."

"Xuanyuan family... hmph!" Cao Zhengyang sneered, his voice chillingly icy.

"Since ancient times, in cultivation countries, haven't the sect and royal power always coexisted? Your ambition is truly not ordinary, be careful not to play with fire and burn yourself!"

...

Thus, after another half month.

On this morning, a weather-beaten middle-aged swordsman arrived in front of Taiqing Sect's mountain gate.

He was carrying a long sword wrapped in coarse cloth, standing outside the mountain gate, looking upwards and occasionally checking the yellowed paper in his hand.

"It should be here..." he muttered to himself, his gaze lingering on the Mountain Guarding Array, "No wonder it's a sect that Lin Master associates with, they're extravagant enough to use a Tri-color Array for protection!"

He then dusted off his dusty robe, adjusted his attire, and stepped forward, speaking out loud.

"Loose Cultivator Ji Xifeng, entrusted by benefactor Lin Daochen, comes from Vast Mansion, here to meet Taiqing Sect disciple Zhou Qing!"

...

On Little Spirit Peak, the fragrance of tea gently swirled.

Ji Xifeng sat nervously on a stone bench, occasionally stealing glances at the young man opposite him.

This individual's appearance indeed matched the image Lin Master had shown, but... what's with this cultivation level?

"Are you... really Zhou Qing?" Ji Xifeng couldn't help but confirm again.

He, an experienced mid-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator, was momentarily unsettled by the unintentional aura the other party emitted.

"Indeed." Zhou Qing couldn't hide his eagerness, "Did Master Lin send you with any message?"

Ji Xifeng tapped his storage bag, taking out a jade scroll glowing with green light.

"Master Lin saved my life. All these years, he has asked us old friends to help find information about a woman, and it's been quite the ordeal..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's pupils contracted drastically, as he took the jade scroll.

His divine sense scanned it, finding only a few words: [Found clues about your Senior Sister, come to the academy quickly!]

The word "quickly" made his heart tense uncontrollably.

Could his Senior Sister be trapped in peril?

"May I ask, friend, do you know where the woman Master Lin wanted you to find is?" Zhou Qing's voice was strained.

Ji Xifeng shook his head and said, "Master Lin used all his accumulated favors for this. I'm merely one link, and I'm not sure exactly who found her."

He paused, lowering his voice, "Before departure, Master Lin specifically instructed that this must remain absolutely confidential."

Zhou Qing understood that Master Lin was being cautious to avoid complications.

He suppressed his anxious heart, took out fifty top-grade Spirit Stones, and pushed them over: "Thank you, Friend Ji, for your efforts; a small token, not meant to be disrespectful."

Ji Xifeng's eyes instantly lit up; this young man was not only profound in cultivation but also meticulous in actions.

I like it!

"In that case, I won't be polite, thank you!" Ji Xifeng excitedly accepted the Spirit Stones.
