The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

In the next moment, a Gu insect shot out from Tan Qiang's body at an incredible speed. However, Gao Xuan was quick to react, catching and crushing it to death.

Then, he gently closed Tan Qiang's eyes, stood up with a face full of sorrow, and finally looked at the box tossed aside.

"Be careful!" Cao Zhengyang warned, his eyes full of vigilance.

Gao Xuan nodded slightly. With a wave of his hand, the box floated up.

When it opened, his pupils contracted suddenly, his whole body trembled, his eyes turned red, filled with pain, but he quickly closed them.

Without saying another word, he carried Tan Qiang's body and slowly walked back towards Golden Sun Peak.

Cao Zhengyang stood in place, his gaze following Gao Xuan's desolate figure, his expression complex.

Although the lid closed quickly, he still saw what was inside the box.

It was a finger!

A child's finger!

...

Having eaten and drunk their fill, the two preparing to return to Little Spirit Peak heard about Tan Qiang's matter and couldn't help but feel a wave of discomfort.

Golden Sun Peak had a total of five Core Disciples, and now two were dead. The chief senior brother had become completely despondent.

Zhou Qing still remembered that day when Senior Brother Du Kui said he dreamt of his junior brothers in danger and rushed to the Soul Lamp Tower early in the morning to check the situation.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he went along and also bound Elder Jiang Pu.

Who would have thought that in such a short time, everything would change, making one sigh with regret.

Half a month later, Zhou Qing finally mastered the fourth form with the wandering souls in the gravity zone as sparring partners. Its power was beyond imagination, usable as a trump card.

During this period, although he had been ignored by the wandering souls a few times, entering deeper inside, that tree, which seemed not tall, was so hard to climb.

Especially without spiritual power and divine sense, he was always blasted by the annoying Corpse Wax Crow midway up the tree.

Though it was a simulation, they were familiar enough; couldn't they give him a chance?

He looked at his panel, deep in thought.

He was already at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. These days, he practiced with the moonlight and top-grade spirit stones, steadily progressing, but to break through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul, he needed an opportunity.

After all, cultivating in a comfortable place was too slow.

Moreover, the chance of being ignored at the Nascent Soul Realm was only 11%, too low.

He needed to quickly gather ignore points; when they reached a certain level, it would also be a trump card.

And the Skill Fragments, just one more piece, and he could form a new skill, which also needed points to obtain.

"I need to go out, take this chance to break through to the mid-stage Nascent Soul!" Zhou Qing quickly made up his mind.

With the consecutive deaths of core disciples, Zhou Qing felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

He sensed that soon, the Divinity Transformation Realm would intervene.

By then, it would really become Asura Hell; he needed to quickly enhance his cultivation to have the ability to protect himself in the impending storm.

"If I go out, I must take someone with me, and their cultivation shouldn't be too high, or I won't get any points!"

Zhou Qing calculated.

Talent Skill[Lowering Presence]required multiple people and a tense, thrilling environment to generate points.

In such an environment, at least one person must know him but unintentionally ignore him due to various reasons, reducing his presence and generating points.

After all, it wasn't the same as simply hiding from the enemy.

Like last time after Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, his master and second senior sister hid him in the mountains while many Divinity Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators frantically rushed to the desert.

Outside, as his master and sister focused on the surroundings, their attention was drawn away, allowing him to generate many points and obtain a new skill fragment.

"Currently, Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core have a 90% chance of ignoring me. Bringing a familiar person to a crowded, thrilling environment might generate points."

His eyes brightened but quickly frowned.

Now he was in the top ten of the Cangyan Daoist Palace's kill list. Who would dare to team up with him?

Wouldn't that be courting death?

In case of danger, who would protect whom?

Thinking about it, the only possible companion seemed to be the third senior brother.

But, this guy was too unpredictable, and as a Nascent Soul, it was hard to ignore him.

Also, having desecrated someone's ancestors' grave, staying together would surely attract many enemies.

"Zhou! Zhou——"

As Zhou Qing became irritable, Lu Yaoyao's excited voice suddenly sounded outside.

Upon opening the door, he saw Lu Yaoyao excitedly holding a map, rushing in.

"If there's something, you could have just sent a message. Why come in person?" Zhou Qing asked puzzled.

Lu Yaoyao, full of joy, didn't say a word, immediately spreading the map on the table, then excitedly pointed to a spot on the map.

"Spirit Skull Mountain, it's Spirit Skull Mountain! I knew it felt familiar. I've been pondering these days and finally remembered. You said back then, this Spirit Skull Mountain..."

Lu Yaoyao suddenly stopped, realizing something, her smile freezing, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.
