The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

But Song Yuan did not dodge; instead, he tilted his head slightly, extended his tongue, and slowly licked the saliva at the corner of his mouth, with a look of intoxication on his face.

"I love it when someone has such a fiery temper; they're the best to tame!" Song Yuan's eyes were filled with twisted excitement.

But the next moment, his intoxicated expression suddenly turned into a ferocious rage. He swung a fist hard and struck Shi Zhen directly in the abdomen.

Shi Zhen immediately spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. Her body trembled violently, but she gritted her teeth to suppress a scream. Her bloodshot eyes glared at Song Yuan, filled with overwhelming hatred, as if she wished to tear him apart and devour him.

Hidden nearby, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu clenched their fists simultaneously, their hearts burning with anger, wishing they could rush forward and slice Song Yuan into a thousand pieces.

Elder Blood Bone gave a ghastly smile and said, "As long as the young master is satisfied. Her spiritual power is sealed, preventing her from self-destructing or mobilizing it. The young master can take his time in handling her. However, before that, there are two little mice sneaking around here that need to be dealt with first."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly flickered like a ghost. His withered hand swept the air in a strange arc with overwhelming force, striking ferociously towards the hiding place of Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu.

Their faces changed suddenly, and they retreated swiftly.

With a loud bang, the stone wall in front of them turned to ashes under that strike, filling the air with dust.

At that moment, the other members of Cangyan Daoist Palace, who had recovered from the shock, quickly drew their weapons, the cold light flashing as they surrounded the two tightly.

"Zhou, Yan—" Shi Zhen endured the sharp pain, struggled to lift her head, and when she saw the two familiar figures, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

She then summoned all her strength and shouted, "Who told you to come? Run away—"

Song Yuan quickly approached, and upon seeing the two, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I heard there's a pair of brothers in Taiqing Sect who like to peep on their Supreme Elder bathing. If I'm not mistaken, that must be you two. Indeed, you look even more sleazy than the portraits, especially this round-faced, small-eyed one. Why do you always do sneaky things?"

Song Yuan's wanton mockery echoed through the cave.

Their faces turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.

Yan Xiaohu stepped forward, shielding Zhou Qing behind him. Pointing with an angry glare at Song Yuan, he said, "If you mention that again, don't blame me for being rude!"

Song Yuan's face was full of mockery and disdain.

"Rude to me? That's hilarious. What's your name again? Never mind, it doesn't matter. I'd like to see, how can a Nascent Soul beginner be rude to me?"

Elder Blood Bone stood with his hands behind his back, slowly walking over to stand beside Song Yuan.

He had to admit that he was a bit anxious. How did these two find this place and sneak in?

If it hadn't been for the slight fluctuation of spiritual power when Song Yuan hit Shi Zhen, he would not have noticed at all.

Just a while ago, he had used his Divine Sense to thoroughly investigate the manor. How could this be?

Zhou Qing's eyes darted around rapidly, scanning the surroundings.

The enemies gathered were not many, mostly in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Realm. If it were only these two Nascent Soul experts, it would be manageable, but he feared there were other hidden experts lurking around, waiting to strike.

If Yan could hold one of them off, they might have a chance.

Song Yuan's gaze was fixed on Zhou Qing, especially noticing that there was no spiritual power fluctuation from him, which piqued his interest even more.

"Zhou Qing, right? You are the one who inadvertently ruined Cangyan Daoist Palace's plans at the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering?"

Before Zhou Qing could reply, Yan Xiaohu, looking displeased, protested loudly, "No, what do you mean by this? Why do you only recognize my junior, but can't even remember my name? This is blatant discrimination!"

Yan Xiaohu's outburst made Song Yuan and Elder Blood Bone look at him like he was an idiot.

"Got a plan yet?" Yan Xiaohu asked Zhou Qing anxiously through Sound Transmission Skills while stalling for time.

Frowning, Zhou Qing thought hard. To successfully rescue Senior Sister Shi Zhen and retreat safely, they must first deal with one person.

Elder Blood Bone was cunning; it would be difficult to outsmart him. On the other hand, Song Yuan seemed arrogant and perverse, very much like Meng Xing.

At this point, they could only take a gamble!

Zhou Qing slowly drew out Tetanus from behind him, gripping it tightly, pretending to be terrified.

His recent recovery of cultivation had just been announced in the sect a few days ago. He gambled that Song Yuan wouldn't know this and would probably disdain him, paying no attention.

At this moment, when Song Yuan saw Zhou Qing's rusty Broken Sword and the old hen peeking out from his robe, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I heard your Golden Core was crushed, and you've been focusing on Body Refining. Now it seems you've had some success. Otherwise, why would you follow such an unreliable senior to this place? Did you eat a bear's heart and a leopard's gall?" Song Yuan taunted freely.

Just as Yan Xiaohu was about to speak, Zhou Qing suddenly charged out with an angry expression.

"Don't you dare call my senior an idiot! I'll kill you!" Zhou Qing yelled, hurling Tetanus at Song Yuan with all his might.
