The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

After all, this place is quite close to the remnants of the Suanni. If we really encounter a situation with no escape, at worst, we will all perish together and see who values their life more.

"Senior!" Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and then respectfully bowed to the other party.

Seeing this, Lu Yaoyao quickly followed suit and then cautiously looked up.

The other party was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, with a face slender and handsome, and deep eyes that exuded a sense of tranquility and peace that had settled with the passage of time.

A long, black, and shiny beard hung from his chin, gently swaying with the wind. Just standing there, he naturally radiated an aura of fairness and calm.

"Do not be afraid. I am Master Xuanqing; I am merely a remnant of a soul now and will not harm you." The other party suddenly spoke.

But Zhou Qing still did not dare to approach. Judging by his attire, he seemed very ancient.

"Senior, we only stumbled upon this place by mistake. Please, if we have disturbed you, we will leave immediately!" Zhou Qing carefully chose his words and said cautiously.

If it's just a lingering obsession, that's easy to deal with. But he feared that the other party might be a terrifying expert trapped here for some reason. If he got possessed, it would be a nightmare with no one to cry to.

He had previous experience of this. Back in the Pocket World, he had been tricked by his Second Uncle into taking that broken bowl out without fully understanding it.

Fortunately, his Second Uncle was a good person and did him no harm, but he dared not gamble again.

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanqing became anxious and quickly said, "No, please don't go! I have waited for too long and can't hold on for another two years. This wisp of obsession will completely dissipate. Don't you desire opportunities?"

Zhou Qing was about to say something when Lu Yaoyao seemed to recall something, her eyes brightened, and she hurriedly said, "Is it about Array Restrictions?"

"Huh, how did you know?" Master Xuanqing was stunned, somewhat disbelieving.

Lu Yaoyao became happy immediately and quickly said to Zhou Qing, "It should be fine, seems reliable."

But Zhou Qing remained highly vigilant, his eyes fixed on Master Xuanqing, guarding against any sudden situations.

"Wait a moment!" Master Xuanqing quickly turned around and ran into the darkness. Soon, he returned holding an ancient scroll, a look of reminiscence on his face.

"I was a Level 9 Array Master under Grand General Zhongli Bo. Unfortunately, I was ambushed and killed on the Starry Battlefield, leaving only a remnant of my soul that struggled to escape here," Master Xuanqing said bitterly.

Zhou Qing's expression changed slightly, greatly astonished, as he heard the name Zhongli Bo again.

The "Yin Yang Skills" in the first coffin in the Pocket World was left by this person, including the trace of Yin Yang Qi he gave as protection when he saw Zhou Qing was young.

This suggests that Master Xuanqing has existed here for an incredibly long time, no wonder no one has heard of him.

Lu Yaoyao mischievously stuck out her tongue and thought to herself, "Turns out you're not a Five-Color Master but a Nine-Color. How did you learn so slowly then?"

Master Xuanqing continued, "To prevent the sect's inheritance from perishing, I engraved everything I learned about restrictive barriers into this scroll. Unfortunately, due to heavy injuries, I only reached the fifth level before my remnant soul began to dissipate."

Lu Yaoyao: "…"

Zhou Qing frowned slightly and instinctively looked at Lu Yaoyao.

If what Master Xuanqing said was true, the situation didn't quite add up.

This person escaped from the Starry Battlefield to this place, hurriedly left only some fifth-level restrictive techniques before his remnant soul dissipated. How then did the Master know a powerful figure had died here?

And told you?

And yet, he could set up a Five-Color Restriction? This is too coincidental.

Meeting Zhou Qing's questioning gaze, Lu Yaoyao seemed to realize something, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she immediately looked down.

Master Xuanqing said, "I don't ask for much, just that you do not let the sect's inheritance be cut off. If you get the opportunity to go to the Starry Battlefield in the future, please explain to the Grand General that I, Xuanqing, am not a coward or a deserter."

As Master Xuanqing spoke, his eyes reddened slightly, and then the jade slip in his hand floated over gently.

Zhou Qing pulled Lu Yaoyao back a step.

Seeing the extreme vigilance of the two, Master Xuanqing placed the jade slip less than a meter away from him.

"After all, this is an opportunity. Seeing our Human Race here after so long, my wish can be considered fulfilled!"

Master Xuanqing seemed very happy, his lingering figure becoming somewhat transparent at this moment.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment and said, "May I take the Suanni Bone away as well?"

Hearing this, the nearly dissipated semblance of obsession of Master Xuanqing recondensed, his face filled with shock, and he quickly advised, "No, don't! There's a natural thunder pool here, which you must have already seen."

"I barely escaped to this place back then, initially intending to use the thunder's power in this area to dispel the curse within my soul. Unfortunately, it was useless, so I cut off the connection between this place and the outside world, completely isolating it."

Zhou Qing was greatly shocked to hear this.

He had personally witnessed the imposing man-made thunder pool of the Golden Thunder Sect, and this naturally formed thunder pool should be even more terrifying. Yet, this person had severed it with his Great Divine Techniques.
