The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Wu Sha hastily said, "Nannan's body is well-preserved, it belongs to someone else. The Palace Master did this just to test you. Your merits and hardships, the Palace Master remembers them all."

Gao Xuan's eyes suddenly brightened, and his expression eased considerably.

"Alright then, since the misunderstanding has been cleared up, you should go back early to avoid suspicion!" Seeing this, Wu Sha quickly said.

Only then did Gao Xuan clasp his hands in salute and leave.

The next moment, Wu Sha immediately put away his smile, then looked at Master Xuanji, and asked seriously, "How was it?"

Master Xuanji closed his eyes. On the ground, the Array appeared, then rapidly contracted, and countless runes coalesced into a light ball.

Master Xuanji directly swallowed it in one gulp. After a long while, he opened his eyes, looking incredulous.

"Everything he said is actually true!"

Wu Sha was shocked and said, "Could it be that we really misunderstood him?"

Then, Wu Sha turned around, went to a stone on the other side, and took out an Imaging Stone hidden inside it.

"I'll take it back to the Palace Master, he will analyze it thoroughly based on the other party's eyes and other details."

After that, the two of them left.

Until the moon was high in the sky, the originally departed Gao Xuan eerily appeared at this place again.

Looking around, his hands behind his back, with a calm expression, it was unclear what he was thinking about.

When he returned to Golden Sun Peak, as soon as he descended, Cao Zhengyang walked out from the darkness on the side.

"You're back!"

"Mhm."

"Did everything go smoothly?"

"I don't know."

"Actually, if you had told us earlier..."

"Gao Xuan was killed by me. He not only killed Nannan, but he also had already defected to the Cangyan Daoist Palace..."

"My Junior Brother Gao Xuan has never died." Cao Zhengyang suddenly interrupted.

Gao Xuan looked at him blankly, but then suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Senior Brother!"

......

Three days later, Zhou Qing went to the Exchange Hall and exchanged all his points for the array materials he wanted.

As soon as he returned to Little Spirit Peak, he saw that four figures were already waiting for him.

They were the four senior brothers and sisters who were exchanged back with Sima Demoness. Zhou Qing had heard long ago that they returned safely and always had them on his mind.

However, he heard that they had been recovering from their injuries, and he had not had a chance to visit them yet. Unexpectedly, they came to find him on their own.

"Junior Brother Zhou, many thanks for saving our lives!"

Zhou Qing just had a smile on his face, ready to speak, but the four of them knelt on one knee in unison to express their gratitude.

"Senior Brothers and Sisters, what are you doing? Please get up quickly, this cannot be." Seeing this, Zhou Qing's face changed and he hurried forward to help them up.

Several people looked at Zhou Qing, their eyes full of emotion, it felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Last time, it was Junior Brother Zhou whose Golden Core was shattered, being carried by Yan Xiaohu down from Master Mo.

Unexpectedly, just after a few years, Junior Brother Zhou not only recovered his cultivation but also found an opportunity to directly break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, becoming famous in the Eastern Domain.Even they, who were supposed to be doomed, were able to come back alive.

They still remember, they were hung on iron racks like cattle awaiting slaughter.

Seeing those in front being disemboweled, screaming in agony.

They were terrified, scared, helpless, trying to self-destruct to end the pain, but couldn't. The feeling of despair still haunts them.

When they had completely resigned to their fate, ready to become those neither human nor ghost puppets, someone suddenly rushed in, shouting to halt.

Then, miraculously, they were saved!

After that, they thoroughly understood everything, realizing that it was Zhou Qing who risked his safety and let Sima Demoness go, to trade for their lives.

Seeing them safe and sound, Zhou Qing was genuinely happy and laughed, "Come, since you're here, let's have a drink to celebrate your return home."

The four of them burst into hearty laughter and said in unison, "Let's go!"

Their laughter was filled with the joy of surviving a calamity.

In the afternoon, the four left, and Zhou Qing hurriedly chased after them. Holding eight top-grade spirit stones in his hand, he hurriedly called out.

"What are you doing, oh, I feel so embarrassed..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Yan Xiaohu not far away, staring at him with green eyes.

Zhou Qing's face changed, and he immediately returned to the courtyard and activated the barrier.

Half a year later, Zhou Qing had fully mastered the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Scripture" to Great Success, with terrifying power. At least with this one move, he could easily push through the Gravity Zone.

Moreover, it required half the spiritual power compared to the Minor Achievement stage, which Zhou Qing found incredible.

Another half-year later, he mastered the "Thunderstorm Meteor Kill" of Suanni's Divine Techniques, and with the "Thunder Sword Skills" Four Forms, he completely defeated Evil Wandering Souls.

As for his cultivation, it was steadily progressing, but to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage, it was uncertain when that would happen.

After all, the Nascent Soul Realm could increase one's lifespan by a thousand years, but during these thousand years, countless proud sons of heaven were eliminated.

Especially the final threshold - the Realm - which blocked countless people, making them sigh in despair as they entered meditation.

As for top-grade spirit stones, Zhou Qing was not lacking. He still had four remaining fire attribute spirit stones, eight ordinary top-grade spirit stones, and a large number of top-grade spirit stones.

Even the old hen had improved its diet, eating mid-grade spirit stone powder.

As an Array Master, he hadn't been idle over the past year. Through constant practice and research, he successfully condensed eighteen spirit seals. Only needing two more, he would be a true first-level array master.
