The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1296: Chapter 385: The Taiqing Sect’s Fire Seed Plan (6k)_2

This scene made the Qinluo Beast completely abandon its recent thoughts of meddling in the Secret Realm.

Who would have thought that Xuanyuan Shuo had been lingering here all this time, nearly turning every island shrouded by obsession upside down?

Now he has directly pinpointed the location of the Secret Realm.

Various thoughts flashed through the Qinluo Beast’s mind, and just as it was about to speak evasively, Xuanyuan Shuo took the initiative.

"Even if your Demon Race ascends to become Demon Emperors, you are ultimately no match for our Human Race in terms of cunning and schemes. So, think twice before you speak."

"I..." The Qinluo Beast was momentarily speechless.

Xuanyuan Shuo stood with his hands behind his back, softly saying, "In the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range near the Human Race border, Peng Emperor Feng Xuanling, Spider Emperor Ye Luo, and Tiger Emperor Red Evil Tiger Venerable have all fallen."

"Now, deep within lurk several Demon Emperors with covetous eyes... I intend to cooperate with you, what’s your opinion?"

"Cooperate with me?" The Qinluo Beast furrowed its brows, a hint of vigilance flashing in its eyes.

"That’s right," Xuanyuan Shuo’s eyes gleamed, "The secret here need only be known by the two of us."

"We will share the resources equally, enough to help you break through to mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm in the short term. All you have to do is keep this secret, how about it?"

The Qinluo Beast, upon hearing this, a flicker of greed flashed in its eyes.

Xuanyuan Shuo continued, "Of course, you can choose to refuse collaboration, or even make the secret public. However—"

A sudden burst of murderous intent surrounded him, "If you insist, I wouldn’t mind replacing the neighbors on the border with more sensible ones."

The Qinluo Beast’s expression fluctuated, and finally, it gritted its teeth and said, "Fine! I agree to cooperate with you. But how will the gains from the Secret Realm be divided?"

"A fifty-fifty split." Xuanyuan Shuo said calmly, "Although my cultivation is slightly higher than yours, this is your territory, which cancels it out. What’s wrong, not satisfied?"

"Deal!" The Qinluo Beast’s eyes sparkled, "What do I need to do now?"

"Tell me everything you know, exactly as it is."

The Qinluo Beast grinned slyly, "Sure, but you must first swear a Heavenly Dao Oath. Otherwise, how do I know you won’t betray me?"

A barely perceptible cold smile tugged at Xuanyuan Shuo’s lips.

How could I, as the emperor, possibly kill you?

Since Yan Sen comes from a Fifth-level Cultivation Country, and the fallen person was not only mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm but also a Fourth-level Array Master, they definitely won’t let this go easily.

Keeping you alive serves as evidence.

When the Fifth-level Cultivation Country investigates, the silver-haired woman is the real killer, not related to our Xuanyuan Family.

Looking at the other’s appearance now, a trace of contempt flashed in Xuanyuan Shuo’s eyes: A beast remains a beast, even after transforming, they cannot change their foolish nature.

I can make a Heavenly Dao Oath not to harm you, but this does not mean that once the dust settles, others won’t come after you.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Shuo maintained a normal expression and slowly raised his hand solemnly, "I, Xuanyuan Shuo, swear by Dao Heart, to share the gains from the Secret Realm with Brother Qin, adhering to the fifty-fifty agreement. If I violate this oath, may my Dao Heart shatter, and my cultivation be utterly ruined!"

A sudden clap of thunder exploded in the sky, as if the Heavenly Dao was witnessing.

The Qinluo Beast’s tense expression finally relaxed, taking a few steps forward to compose its thoughts, "This matter began many years ago, at that time..."

As the Qinluo Beast recounted the tale, the shock in Xuanyuan Shuo’s eyes grew deeper.

"Yan Sen? Uncle Eight? Six-Color Restriction..." He muttered under his breath, his frown deepening.

This is tricky now...

Without a Six-Color Array Master, how to open this Secret Realm?

Wait a minute...

Since Yan Sen could enter as a Fourth-level Array Master, there must be a flaw in the restriction!

What concerns him more is—why did the silver-haired woman bring Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao here back then?

Could it be... the key to opening the Secret Realm lies with these two?

Afterward, Yan Sen’s searching of Jiang Pojun’s soul at the border was likely to trace Zhou Qing’s whereabouts.

This led to the Qinluo Beast witnessing Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao being forcibly brought to this place.

So, why did Yan Sen later fall here?

What about his Uncle Eight?

If "Uncle Eight" were still alive, how could he let Zhou Qing and the two leave alive?

Even without killing them to silence them, he would definitely imprison them by his side.

But the fact is, these two youngsters are not only alive and well, but years later they went to the Imperial City...

Then, there is only one possibility—

Cold light flashed in Xuanyuan Shuo’s eyes.

"Uncle Eight" must have also fallen, and it is highly likely he died within this Secret Realm!

Xuanyuan Shuo viewed the surging mists of obsession all around and an even more terrifying speculation arose.

Perhaps Yan Sen died within the Secret Realm, and this terrifying obsession enveloping the islands is what materialized after "Uncle Eight" fell!

No matter who it was among them, the final result should be the silver-haired veiled woman appearing on time, killing them, and then leaving with Zhou Qing and Lu Yaoyao.

Only in this way can everything be explained!

Xuanyuan Shuo suddenly trembled, realizing a deadly problem.

Currently, Zhou Qing not only broke through to the Spirit Severing Realm but has also become a Fourth-level Array Master.

If he rashly seeks help from him, once the silver-haired woman is alerted...

This place is far from the Imperial City, beyond the reach of Brother’s influence.

If confronted with Spirit Slash Great Perfection, he will surely die!

"This matter must not be known to a third person!" Xuanyuan Shuo’s eyes flashed with icy light as his hands suddenly formed a sealing gesture.

Boundless spiritual power poured into the inner lake like a furious dragon, instantly causing the calm lake surface to boil!

"Boom—"

A whirlpool with a diameter of a hundred zhang suddenly exploded in the heart of the lake, six-colored radiant beams gushed out from the bottom of the whirlpool.

Six streams of brilliance intertwined and entangled, transforming into a pillar of light reaching the sky, exuding a vast and awe-inspiring aura.
