The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Of course, this Array Master is not an ordinary one, but one who can set up a single-color barrier restriction and has mastered the art.

"I wonder how Second Uncle is doing now?" Zhou Qing was very curious.

Although I took a shortcut by inheriting from Senior Master Xuanqing, let's not forget, Second Uncle is a true genius.

As for Yan Xiaohu, because he acknowledged Lei Luo as a younger brother, the two used the Sect's teleportation array to run back and forth quite frequently, after all, both of them have similar interests.

...

"Master——"

Today, Mo Xingjian came, and Zhou Qing greeted him with a bow.

Mo Xingjian nodded and said, "Ever since Sima Demoness went back, there's been no news, as if she disappeared completely. For a demoness like her, there are just two possible outcomes."

"One, she has a sudden enlightenment in a desperate situation, comprehending the realm, and reaching half a step into the Divinity Transformation; the other, she's consumed by hatred, lurking like a poisonous snake, ready to strike a deadly blow at any moment."

"No matter which it is, she hates you deeply now. I'm very pleased that you could stay calm and not venture out this whole year."

Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing, his eyes showing a hint of approval.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile, feeling rather calm in his heart.

It's nothing but soul possession. Since I've bound her, there's no need to fear.

After all, I'm not the only one growing.

"Master, I have a question. The Five Sects have been at war for years now. Why haven't the Divinity Transformation Realm experts intervened? Even if they have puppets, our Three Sects aren't weaklings, we could completely crush them!"

Zhou Qing asked the question that had always puzzled him, watching familiar people disappear one by one around him was quite distressing.

Especially Senior Brother Du Kui, who, after bringing back the bodies of Luo Xue and Sima Demoness, was expected to be comforted and find an outlet, and then regain his strength. But unexpectedly, even after a year, he remained just as disheartened.

"Is it because of those three paintings sent by the Seventh Prince?" Zhou Qing continued to ask.

Mo Xingjian sighed heavily, his face showing a somber expression.

"It's not just the Seventh Prince, but also the words of Elder Fu Kui last time. This war cannot end too soon, or we might have conflicts with people from other domains. At the very least, the current situation is quite good!"

Zhou Qing listened but didn't fully understand.

Mo Xingjian then handed over three pieces of information: "These are findings from your Sect Leader Uncle."

Zhou Qing took them and couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

"A civil war broke out among the nine main sects in the Northern Domain of the Star Shining Mansion!"

"A year-long internal war in the Western Domain of the Vast Mansion was forcefully suppressed by the Primordial Sect, and six months later, an unknown cause triggered a war in the Southwest Two Domains, with millions joining the battlefield, and sixteen Divinity Transformation experts have fallen so far."

"The Southern Domain of the Spirit Wind Mansion saw a war between its eight main sects and ancient families."

Looking at these three pieces of information, Zhou Qing furrowed his brows tightly.

The Holy Martial Dynasty's Eight Prefectures and Seventy-Two Mansions, including Lingyun Mansion, all belong to the jurisdiction of Longyuan County.

Mo Xingjian said, "Apart from these three mansions, I've heard that frictions are everywhere now, just like the early stages of our Five Sects' war. It's only a matter of time before full-scale conflicts begin."

Zhou Qing pondered and asked, "So, the hand in the painting really comes from the capital?"

Mo Xingjian nodded and said, "It should be. So, without knowing what that person intends to do, we can only keep muddling through."

Zhou Qing nodded thoughtfully.

Mo Xingjian said, "Having Divinity Transformation Realm experts intervene would signify a complete escalation of the situation and hasten the end of the war. Before we could catch a breath, we might end up like the Vast Mansion, going to war with sects from other domains."

"Moreover, several Divinity Transformation experts from the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect have fallen, the senior members of the Golden Thunder Sect involved in their internal strife are still imprisoned. Our Three Sects have few Divinity Transformation experts. Though the Phecda Sect's combat power is relatively weak, we don't fully understand the Cangyan Daoist Palace."

"We don't know how many Divinity Transformation experts they have or the number of puppet armies capable of fighting three on one. We can't just sweep them away, so we have to stalemate and wait for an opportunity."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing seemed to understand his master's concern.

"But likewise, Cangyan Daoist Palace and Phecda Sect also have qualms about us, and they don't dare to end the war too soon. Besides, bad things often come with good things."

As Mo Xingjian spoke, he looked at Zhou Qing with full of appreciation.

Ever since the child achieved the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, what he lacked was a thorough training, and this war between the Five Sects was a perfect training ground.

In fact, the results were remarkable.

His cultivation, temperament, and reputation have all seen significant improvements.

His cultivation quickly advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm in a short period.

In terms of temperament, he became even more composed, considering matters more meticulously, and continually showcasing the qualities of a true strong individual in every decision.

As for reputation, he had gone from being obscure to now being revered and admired by everyone.

"I have another piece of good news for you this time!" Quickly, Mo Xingjian spoke again, unable to hide his joy.

Zhou Qing immediately looked at his master.

Mo Xingjian beamed with excitement, looking around as if afraid someone might overhear, then leaned closer to Zhou Qing's ear and whispered, "Your eldest senior brother has reached Divinity Transformation!"

"Really? That's great!" Zhou Qing was overjoyed upon hearing this, and cheered aloud.
