The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1009 313: The Old Hen Has Returned! The Lu Family Sisters Arrived Early!

"To be honest," Sikong Yan rarely showed a serious expression."You are the most talented person I've ever seen when it comes to array restrictions."

"From the time you started learning at the White Jade Taixu Courtyard to becoming a Three-color Array Master, it has only taken you less than ten years. Such progress can be described as terrifying."

He paused: "Of course, the prerequisite for you to help me is to at least condense three thousand Spirit Seals."

Zhou Qing's heart trembled.

Three thousand Spirit Seals? He has just barely condensed one thousand Spirit Seals.

"I know you haven't reached that level yet," Sikong Yan waved his hand, "fortunately, there's no rush for this matter right now."

"I'll wait in the capital for you for twenty years. If you can come, it means you've successfully condensed three thousand Spirit Seals; otherwise, I'll act alone."

Zhou Qing remained silent.

This guy dared to kill the Fifth Prince and Princess Consort Ying, and now he aims to go to the capital. What he's plotting is definitely remarkable.

He doesn't want to get caught up in it.

Moreover, the time frame of twenty years is too tight, unless he has a large number of top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones and utilizes the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, then he could achieve it in at most half a year.

Sikong Yan observed Zhou Qing's expression, with a playful smile: "I know this matter might trouble you, you can agree, or you can choose not to."

"The second condition," he raised his second finger, "is to annex the Cangyan Daoist Palace after I leave."

Zhou Qing's face changed dramatically, looking at him in disbelief.

Are you insane?

"I'm not joking," Sikong Yan's expression was astonishingly calm, "to be honest, I have no feelings for anyone in Cangyan Daoist Palace, let alone a sense of belonging."

He walked to the edge of the array, looking at the sleeping Nannan: "Moreover, I've repaid this debt with ten Nine Nether Lotus Seeds. Unfortunately, they haven't managed to advance to Spirit Severing Realm."

Zhou Qing still didn't understand.

To hand over the foundation built by his ancestors like this?

Sikong Yan suddenly approached with a mischievous grin and said: "Or, let me put it this way—the real Sikong Yan is already dead, he died after having his heart's blood extracted by those people from the Phecda Sect."

He took a step back, spreading his arms wide: "Just like your master Gao Xuan, I'm someone who has taken over another's body."

Zhou Qing's face turned pale, his back drenched in cold sweat.

"It's true," Sikong Yan raised his hand, "I can make a Heavenly Dao Oath."

Zhou Qing swallowed.

Though unsure of the truth, these words sent chills down his spine.

In this world, who can truly understand this madman?

"The annexation of the Eastern Domain is an inevitable trend," Sikong Yan continued, speaking with a terrifying calmness.

"The twelve Supreme Elders of Cangyan Daoist Palace are actually not going to live much longer, at most two to three hundred years. Once they die, the younger generation has no breakthroughs in Divinity Transformation Realm."

He turned to Zhou Qing, with a strange glint in his eyes: "Rather than internal conflict and division later on, isn't it better to give it to your Taiqing Sect? This condition is quite tempting, isn't it?"

Zhou Qing still looked at him in disbelief.

If you're not Sikong Yan, then who are you truly?

Sikong Yan then extended his third finger: "The last condition..."

He suddenly smiled: "Hmm, I haven't quite decided on this condition just yet. In essence, among the three conditions mentioned, there's really just one."

"You can go back and think about it slowly, I'll leave in two years, and I will hand over Nannan to you intact."

...

Zhou Qing didn't know how he staggered out of the Cangyan Daoist Palace.

It wasn't until Mo Xingjian and the other two hurriedly surrounded him that he snapped back to reality.

"Let's discuss once we're back in the sect," Zhou Qing said to the three, his voice somewhat ethereal.

Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian nodded in agreement, while Gao Xuan hesitated, glancing back repeatedly at the blood-colored barrier.

"Believe me, Master," Zhou Qing intensified his tone.

Finally, Gao Xuan reluctantly followed the group, looking back every few steps.

On the flying ship, after Zhou Qing divulged Sikong Yan's three conditions in full, all three were incredulous.

"The Fifth Prince was killed by him?" Cao Zhengyang gasped.

He always thought it was the work of forces behind other princes.

"You can't go messing with him!" Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing with concern.

"Not to mention how difficult it is to condense three thousand Spirit Seals in twenty years, just look at this lunatic's style—"

He paced back and forth on the flying ship, agitated: "What kind of place is the Imperial City? It's the core of the entire Holy Martial Dynasty!"

"The Old Emperor holds the method to advance to Spirit Severing Realm, how many powerful figures are bound to him? How many accomplish Divinity Transformation Perfection there daily, all for just a sliver of opportunity?"

Mo Xingjian spun abruptly: "And the Xuanyuan Family, given their control over such a Secret Technique, how is it possible that only the Old Emperor and Xuanyuan Shuo have reached Spirit Severing level on the surface?"

"That place is truly a tiger's den!"

Zhou Qing smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, Master, even if your disciple is overly ambitious, I won't go there—I've learned survival principles from Second Senior Sister for years."

"And you're getting along well with your Senior Brother," Mo Xingjian shook his head helplessly.

"That guy has grasped the 'Fighting Bravely' realm, diving into danger wherever he finds it!"

Zhou Qing touched his nose sheepishly.

Speaking of which, Senior Brother followed a group of like-minded young Divinity Transformation cultivators to the capital but hasn't sent back any news since.

I wonder how he's doing now?

Meanwhile, Cao Zhengyang showed great interest in the second condition proposed by Sikong Yan.

His eyes glinted strangely: "Annexing Cangyan Daoist Palace..."

He murmured softly, as if weighing advantages and disadvantages.

Though it's said the tree that stands tall faces the strongest wind, Taiqing Sect dominating the Eastern Domain may not necessarily be good.

Once they become the sole hegemon, whatever happens in the future, they will undoubtedly bear the brunt, facing the greatest pressures.
