The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Zhou Qing was left bewildered by her sudden reaction, his face full of confusion, and he asked, "What did I say?"

"Nothing, nothing, Brother Zhou, let's go to Lingku Mountain, there's an opportunity there, a great one!"

Lu Yaoyao quickly changed the topic, grabbing Zhou Qing's arm with expectant eyes.

Zhou Qing looked at the map again, his gaze becoming serious.

Because Sister Luo Xue was brutally killed by that Sima Demoness right here, and Brother Du Kui was severely injured and fled from this place.

Moreover, this place belonged to the territory of Cangyan Daoist Palace, and a few hundred miles from Lingku Mountain was one of their mining grounds.

"What kind of opportunity could be there?" Zhou Qing asked with a frown.

Lu Yaoyao blinked her eyes and hurriedly said, "I heard that a very powerful master fell there, someone who was quite skilled in the art of restrictions and had successfully set up Five-Color Restrictions multiple times."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes immediately lit up. After all, he had a strong interest in array restrictions. He hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"

Seeing Zhou Qing's interest, Lu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly with a confident expression.

"Brother Zhou, maybe the master's legacy is there. Let's go and find it, we will definitely find it!" She was full of excitement.

Zhou Qing looked closely again at the location of Lingku Mountain.

There are nine levels of true master-level array techniques, with one color being the weakest and nine colors being the strongest. Most array restrictions he had seen were in a colorless state, not even reaching the lowest grade.

The most powerful array he had seen was the Five-Colored Altar in the secret passage, which his grand uncle had somehow acquired.

He suspected that the other five coffins there likely had incredibly powerful restrictions, forcing his grand uncle to leave and study the art of restrictions.

The Five-Colored Altar alone could silently enter the Taiqing Sect's pocket world and perfectly evade the Gravity Zone's surveillance, showcasing the wonders of restriction techniques.

If there really was such a master with a legacy in restrictions at Lingku Mountain...

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's heart was ignited with a strong desire to explore.

No, wait—

Suddenly, Zhou Qing seemed to realize something, looking at Lu Yaoyao in confusion and asked, "How come I've never heard of such a powerful master falling at Lingku Mountain?"

If such a master who could set up Five-Color Restrictions had fallen there, the Five Sects would have sent people to search it thoroughly by now. Yet, he had never heard anyone mention it.

Even the entire Holy Martial Dynasty might not have such a master.

Facing Zhou Qing's sudden questioning, Lu Yaoyao visibly panicked, her eyes dodging.

"Well, I heard it from my master. He said it was a secret that ordinary people wouldn't know about. Oh, just don't bother, there's an opportunity there, let's go and see for ourselves," Lu Yaoyao stammered.

Zhou Qing looked at her confused expression and immediately understood something, shaking his head.

It was obvious she was lying; she just wanted an excuse for him to take her out.

"I have something to do. Why don't you ask Brother He Han instead!" Zhou Qing declined.

Seeing Zhou Qing's dismissive attitude, Lu Yaoyao immediately understood, opening her mouth to explain something, but did not know where to begin.

"Brother Zhou, just trust me this once. Oh right, Suan Ni, there are Suan Ni's treasure bones there!"

Suddenly, Lu Yaoyao seemed to remember something and said hurriedly.

Zhou Qing looked at her sharply, shocked, "Suan Ni? Are you sure?"

Lu Yaoyao thought for a moment, her voice uncertain, "You once said... it should be there, right?"

Zhou Qing: "..."

He remembered at the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering, due to the heart method resonation of "Silver Dragon Hand" and "Silver Dragon Step," he saw an ordinary cauldron at a stall.

Through "Daily Reflection," he learned that its inner wall had been stained by the heart blood of an aging Suan Ni, making it extraordinary.

In the end, he used the withered blood from that cauldron to rapidly progress in both divine techniques.

Back then, he had not even reached Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and his talent was only average, which showed the wondrous power of that drop of blood.

"Brother Zhou, let's go together. If you don't go, I'll go by myself. If I really find something good, don't regret it!" Lu Yaoyao pretended to be angry.

Zhou Qing looked thoughtful.

Even though it seemed unreasonable and didn't make sense, seeing Lu Yaoyao's confident demeanor, it felt like it could be true.

Besides—

Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yaoyao again, feeling moved.

She was a mid-Golden Core Realm cultivator, familiar, trustworthy, and knew some of his secrets. She was the perfect candidate he'd been seeking.

But she was the beloved disciple of the Sect Leader, with a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment and limitless future potential. How could he take her on an adventure?

If anything happened, how could he explain to the Sect Leader?

Seeing Zhou Qing's hesitant expression, Lu Yaoyao seemed to guess his concerns and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou Qing, we can sneak out without telling anyone."

"Besides, as I said before, you are the only one I trust in the entire sect. No matter what happens, I will never blame you."
