The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

No one knew if the real treasures had been used or not brought out.

Additionally, there was her identity token and a red square seal.

Upon Zhou Qing's inspection, his face changed. As expected, this square seal was a unique marker shared among her and the other two prodigies at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

Zhou Qing wanted to destroy it but found it to be extremely hard.

"I truly pity Song Yuan and Meng Xing!" Zhou Qing directly threw the square seal and her identity token on the ground in the cave.

After all, this item wasn't in Song Yuan and Meng Xing's storage bags, proving that Sima Demoness had been truthful earlier.

Although there were five prodigies, in reality, the three of them never truly looked at the other two.

As for revenge, it was merely an excuse for outsiders.

"Let's go, this place has been exposed!"

After exiting, Zhou Qing quickly addressed the group, and they immediately departed.

About two hours later, two figures arrived one after the other.

Upon entering the cave and seeing the square seal on the ground, one of them spoke coldly, "Chase!"

...

They had now entered the territory of their Taiqing Sect. The four moved swiftly, taking remote paths.

To be safe, two of them contacted their masters to come and meet them, but received no response.

They guessed their masters had not returned yet.

Helpless, Lu Yaoyao had to contact Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang.

Within less than an hour, Cao Zhengyang appeared. Upon seeing the Nascent Soul of Sima Demoness in Zhou Qing's hand, he could not help but burst into laughter.

"Well done! Wait, you've reached the Nascent Soul Realm?" Soon, Cao Zhengyang's face was filled with astonishment.

He also noticed that Lu Yaoyao had advanced from the mid-stage Golden Core Realm to the realm of Perfection.

In just half a year, what kind of heaven-defying opportunity have you two encountered?

Lu Yaoyao quickly came over, acting coquettishly, "Master, it's a long story, let's discuss it back at the sect."

Cao Zhengyang, very pleased, could only bring them back to the sect at once.

...

The back mountains of Golden Sun Peak!

It was the season when Spirit Flame Flowers were in full bloom, a vast sea of flowers, dazzling and magnificent, their fragrance permeating the air.

Back when Zhou Qing had his Golden Core shattered and was in a wheelchair, Du Kui had brought him here, hoping it would lift his spirits.

Now, two graves rose quietly amid the sea of flowers.

One tombstone was inscribed with "Second Junior Sister Luo Xue's Grave," and the other grave, facing it, was engraved with "Fifth Junior Brother Tan Qiang's Grave."

Peak Master Gao Xuan appeared at some point, looking at Du Kui lying drunk between the two tombstones, he sighed softly.

In less than a year, the former high-spirited chief of Golden Sun Peak had become disheveled, unkempt, and gave off a foul stench.

"Kui'er—" Gao Xuan spoke up.

Du Kui slowly opened his eyes, filled with murkiness.

Gao Xuan said, "Zhou Qing is back, and he has brought Sima Demoness' Nascent Soul and... Xue'Er's body!"

Du Kui, who had seemed half-dead, suddenly sprang up, eyes filled with murderous intent, and immediately ran down the mountain.

Watching Du Kui's back, Gao Xuan felt deep sorrow.

He then unfolded a jade talisman in his hand, with characters slowly appearing.

[Order: Protect the Demoness' Nascent Soul, meet at the old spot in three days!]

...

Divine Peak!

When the news spread that Zhou Qing had slain Sima Demoness and brought back her Nascent Soul, chaos erupted, with many rushing to verify the truth.

Seeing that tall, straight figure, they were all in shock and awe.

Late bloomer, this was the true late bloomer!

Old Mo was fortunate!
