The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1297: Chapter 385: The Taiqing Sect’s Fireseed Plan (6k)_3

Under the reflection of the array, the surrounding scenery began to become twisted and blurred, as if replaced by another world.

Watching this scene, Xuanyuan Shuo and the Qinluo Beast couldn’t help but widen their eyes, filled with greed.

But soon, the two exchanged glances - how to activate such an earth-shattering restriction?

...

Within the Taiqing Sect, to prevent any unforeseen events, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang had already dispersed most of the disciples to the four great sects through a small teleportation array.

Even if they encountered a dire disaster, there would still be a seed of revival preserved for the sect.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and surprisingly, that giant hand covering the sky never appeared again.

"This is truly bizarre!" Zhou Qing sat cross-legged atop Little Spirit Peak, cradling a soundly sleeping old hen, murmuring while gazing at the clear, cloudless sky.

On the other hand, the Supreme Elders believe the Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area can only be entered by the successive Sect Leaders and Peak Masters of Taiqing Sect.

Even the Lu sisters from the Spirit Severing Realm couldn’t enter, so it was sealed before they arrived from White Jade Taixu Courtyard.

Now, aside from the tunnel dug by Uncle Er near Lu Yaoyao’s latrine, no one else can enter.

The day the giant hand covered the area, it clearly covered the entire Taiqing Sect region, the Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area included.

If the sect truly faced annihilation, would the Ancient Tree from the Starry Battlefield come to the rescue?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing cast a glance at the snoring old hen in his arms, inconspicuously.

Recently, its frequency of entering and exiting the forbidden area has noticeably increased.

The black heart is now shriveled like paper, with ninety-nine percent of its essence absorbed by the old hen.

Yet it still appears foolish, showing no discernible changes.

Moreover, Zhou Qing has tried appraising it numerous times, only to consistently receive the brief information, "in the third mutation."

"This unknown feeling is truly upsetting!" Zhou Qing gently stroked the chicken’s head, speaking to himself.

At this time, two streaks of light pierced through the air.

"Didn’t you say he was here?" Cao Zhengyang asked, looking around.

Mo Xingjian held the Identity Token, full of confusion: "Strange, it just told me he was here."

Seeing this, Zhou Qing reluctantly stood up and said, "Master, Uncle-Master!"

The two turned at the sound, finally noticing Zhou Qing walking towards them.

Cao Zhengyang smiled and said, "Indeed worthy of Spirit Severing Realm, truly elusive."

Zhou Qing smiled silently without offering much explanation.

Cao Zhengyang, rubbing his hands together, with a face full of smiles, said, "Zhou Qing, that girl Yaoyao wants to visit Senior Shen of the Celestial Fate Sacred Dynasty, saying it would greatly benefit her realm cultivation."

"If we can connect with such a strong presence, it would be a boon for our Taiqing Sect..."

As he spoke, his eyes began to shift, "You know, your Uncle-Master has just this one precious disciple, and usually spoils her to the heavens. You see..."

Zhou Qing, with sharp eyes, saw through their thoughts at a glance: "Uncle-Master intends to send me and Yaoyao out as the sect’s backup seeds?"

The two’s thoughts were instantly exposed, and they awkwardly scratched their heads, faces flushed.

Cao Zhengyang was about to explain when suddenly, the space split open with two cracks, and the Lu sisters gracefully stepped out.

"This young man is too astute; I kindly ask the two seniors to help persuade him," Cao Zhengyang said with a wry smile, cupping his hands together.

Lu Yuanzhi fixed her gaze on Zhou Qing: "Facing the might of that giant hand, how confident are you to withstand it?"

"Certain death," Zhou Qing responded solemnly.

"And how many can you save?" Lu Yuanjiu immediately followed up.

Seeing Zhou Qing remain silent, Lu Yuanzhi spoke softly, "The disciples are now dispersed and settled, even if strong enemies return, the sect’s foundation cannot be harmed."

"Your talent is rare through the ages," Lu Yuanjiu continued, eyes shining with expectation, "it requires a broader world to shine. Staying here would only bury your potential."

"Besides," Lu Yuanzhi sighed softly, "even if you stay, if that giant hand reappears, we working together could hardly resist."

Zhou Qing frowned; he also understood this was an indisputable fact.

The power of that giant hand that day was at least controlled by someone of the Supreme Realm; the Spirit Severing Realm couldn’t achieve that.

Mo Xingjian slowly approached, a complex expression on his face: "Old Fourth, you and Yaoyao are the future hope of Taiqing Sect; as a master, I only wish for your safety."

"Indeed," Cao Zhengyang said, his voice trembling, "as long as you’re alive, the legacy of Taiqing Sect will continue unbroken."

Facing their eager eyes, Zhou Qing was filled with mixed emotions.

He initially thought becoming Spirit Severing Realm would be enough to protect the sect, but suddenly, an unknown enemy unexpectedly appeared, causing all this trouble.

"Allow me to think it over." After a long silence, Zhou Qing finally agreed.

Upon hearing this, a look of relief appeared on everyone’s face.

Lu Yuanzhi smiled broadly: "Rest assured, the sect is under our care, and you have your Grandmaster too."

"Besides, we can’t be too pessimistic. Perhaps that giant hand just made a mistake, and it’s all a false alarm?"

These words brought knowing smiles to everyone.

Yes, we must always look on the bright side of things.

...

In the following days, it seemed as if to relieve Zhou Qing of all his attachments, figures like the Ghost Mastiff, Luo Lingling, and Yan Xiaohu were all sent to the Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect to station themselves.

Even among the various Peak Masters of the sect, only two or three were left; in case of real danger, the Lu sisters could help everyone escape immediately.

The large sect suddenly became desolate, which unexpectedly left Zhou Qing with a sense of loneliness.

...

On this day, Lu Yaoyao elegantly approached on her Flying Sword.

"Brother Zhou, sneaking around again?" she gracefully landed, hands behind her back, smiling teasingly.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly: "The whole sect is cooperating with you; missing your Sister Shen again?"
