The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

At this moment, Zhou Qing keenly noticed Lu Yaoyao's cultivation situation and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm? Impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao immediately mimicked Zhou Qing's humble demeanor from earlier, spread her hands, and said, "It's just a stroke of luck! Nothing special."

Seeing her such cute and mischievous expression, Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile, genuinely feeling happy for her.

Seeing Zhou Qing open the door, Lu Yaoyao quickly picked up the old hen on the ground and followed him inside.

"I heard when I came back that one of the five prodigies of Cangyan Daoist Palace, Sima Demoness, vowed to personally kill you to avenge Meng Xing and Song Yuan. You should be careful from now on!"

Sitting down, Lu Yaoyao stroked the old hen while expressing her concern to Zhou Qing.

Upon hearing the name, Zhou Qing's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.

It was her who ruthlessly killed Sister Luo Xue and severely wounded Brother Du Kui.

Kill me?

Once he's ready, he will go and find her; by then, blood debts will be repaid.

Then, Zhou Qing spoke about Sister Luo Xue's matter, causing Lu Yaoyao to suddenly stand up, eyes wide with disbelief.

Back then, while searching for the lost disciples of Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, Zhou and she were gravely injured by Yin Xiao. At that critical moment, it was Brother Du Kui and Sister Luo Xue who arrived in time to save their lives.

But now, Sister Luo Xue...

"I originally thought of visiting Brother Du Kui. I heard he's particularly despondent now, but I haven't found the right opportunity, so I haven't dared to disturb him." Zhou Qing sighed.

Lu Yaoyao was silent, seemingly unable to believe that familiar people could just disappear like that, leaving an emptiness in her heart.

"Nowadays, Cangyan Daoist Palace is also blinded by bloodlust. If you go out, remember to be careful!" Zhou Qing specially urged solemnly.

Lu Yaoyao nodded with teary eyes, saying, "Yes, I got it, Brother Zhou, you also be careful."

"Since you're back, why not visit Sister Shi Zhen? She was also seriously injured this time. I wonder if she's recovered." Zhou Qing suggested.

After all, within the sect, the two of them count as close friends.

"Sister Shi Zhen is hurt too?" Lu Yaoyao was shocked again.

Zhou Qing then explained the events in the cave.

Lu Yaoyao only knew that Zhou Qing had killed Song Yuan in You Huang City and recorded the atrocities committed by him. She didn't know that Sister Shi Zhen was also captured.

Those scenes inevitably needed to be disclosed. To protect Sister Shi Zhen's reputation, Zhou Qing naturally didn't include her in the recording.

After chatting briefly with Zhou Qing, Lu Yaoyao hurriedly left and headed straight to Yuqing Peak.

With his mood calmed, Zhou Qing began fully cultivating the fourth style of the "Thunder Sword Skills".

Now, only by constantly improving his strength could he survive in this chaotic situation.

...

Two days later, Lu Yaoyao and Shi Zhen arrived together.

Shi Zhen brought some gifts to thank Zhou Qing. The caption on her head, which had been changed during the cave incident to "Brother Zhou to repay for the rest of my life," had also been replaced with "Brother Zhou, the rising star."

Unable to decline, Zhou Qing had no choice but to accept.

Of course, she also prepared a gift for Third Brother Yan. Just after seeing them off, a familiar figure appeared outside.

Looking at the embarrassed Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu, Zhou Qing immediately felt a tinge of discomfort.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!" Zhou Qing saluted respectfully.

Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu's face showed some embarrassment. "Zhou Qing, firstly, congratulations on your cultivation recovery. So, are you available today? Oh, mainly because it's really crucial, I'm left with no choice but to come to you."

"With the Five Sects now at war, if we can obtain some valuable items from the Pocket World, it can certainly provide some support for our sect."

Despite everything, Zhou Qing deeply appreciated the Supreme Elder.

Not to mention anything else, just last time, when she knew Zhou Qing began body refining, she opened the second Flame Spirit Blood Pool for him to soak in, using the pool's power to aid his cultivation.

It was that rare opportunity that allowed him to discover the Flame Spirit Blood Ointment and the secret passage dug by Second Uncle below the Blood Pool, providing him with enough spiritual power to support him in breaking through to Nascent Soul and even the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

Along with the "Silver Dragon Hand" and "Thunder Sword Skills" that became his trump cards.

Zhou Qing immediately saluted, saying, "Disciple will do his best!"

He didn't refuse. If ignored by the Wandering Souls, he might as well help the Supreme Elder open the Gravity Zone. Moreover, Master should've already informed them of needing to use the Dead Crow to cross the river.

If there were Wandering Souls, a full-power strike from the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Scripture" should be enough for him to retreat.

After this, the Supreme Elder likely wouldn't come to him again.

Everything would depend on fate!

Upon hearing Zhou Qing's agreement, Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu was instantly excited, her face full of gratitude and satisfaction.

Now Zhou Qing was at the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, and the crises he might face from Wandering Souls would be even greater.

In such circumstances, Zhou Qing's prompt agreement to help showed he was indeed a kind-hearted and considerate young man.

Soon after, when Zhou Qing arrived at the Pocket World again, seven Supreme Elders stood behind him.

Having finally managed to get in once, they didn't want to miss this opportunity, each of them eagerly looking at Zhou Qing, their eyes full of expectation.

"Be careful!" The Supreme Elders all urged with concern.
