The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 59: Is Zhou Qing at Little Spirit Peak?

The two of them naturally understood the gravity of the situation. After all, the enemy had already infiltrated their ranks and had been planning for many years. If they weren’t careful, they could strike a critical blow at a crucial moment.

"Master, I have a request!" Zhou Qing stepped forward and said.

Mo Xingjian found Zhou Qing more and more pleasing to the eye lately and asked, "What request? Speak!"

Zhou Qing said, "Master, if you identify any other suspects, could you give me a list?"

"Oh, why?" Mo Xingjian asked, puzzled.

Zhou Qing chuckled, rubbed his nose, and said, "My nose is quite sensitive. I might be able to sniff them out."

Yan Xiaohu beside him was shocked, "You can even sniff that out?"

[Heart Mirror Points +6]

[Desperate Fourth Lang’s Junior Brother] turned back into [God-like Junior Brother].

"Maybe, worth a try!" Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Ever since his talent skill [Heart Mirror Vision] leveled up to three, he had three more slots available.

After binding one to the fake Gao Xuan, he still had two slots left, ready for use.

Currently, he no longer considered earning points as his priority was to quickly identify the hidden dangers.

After all, someone like Gao Xuan was terrifying; killing him would be as easy as squashing an ant.

Mo Xingjian pondered briefly before agreeing.

After all, Zhou Qing was the one who identified the Spiritual Turtle Liquid, though it was somewhat unbelievable. The facts were right there, and it was found that indeed someone from Cangyan Daoist Palace was involved.

"Let’s go back quickly before anyone notices. We don’t want to spook the snake by beating the grass!"

After looking around, Mo Xingjian took Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu back.

...

Early the next morning, after Zhou Qing woke up and fed some spirit stone powder to the old hen, he received a message on his token just after he finished washing up.

It was from Senior Sister Shi Zhen.

After surviving their life-and-death experience together, their relationship had deepened significantly. Shi Zhen had added Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu as friends for convenient contact.

Sister Shi Zhen invited both of them to the Jade Dining Hall for lunch, a long-promised meal.

Zhou Qing immediately declined, fearing that Gao Xuan might poison him quietly or ambush him on the way back.

After all, Little Spirit Peak was quite far from the main peak, Divine Peak.

Sure enough, Yan Xiaohu soon sent a message asking about it.

This guy quickly forgot their master’s instructions just for a free meal.

He was repeatedly warned not to wander around.

"I’m going into seclusion to cultivate seriously. I won’t take a single step out of Little Spirit Peak during this period. Whoever steps out is a grandson!"

Just as Zhou Qing sent this message to Yan Xiaohu, he heard a kind voice in the air.

"Is Zhou Qing from Little Spirit Peak present?"

Zhou Qing opened the courtyard door and saw an old woman with white hair floating in the air.

He quickly stepped out and bowed, "Junior Zhou Qing greets the Supreme Elder!"

It was none other than Supreme Elder Duanmu Shu, the one who had bestowed the "Silver Dragon Hand" upon him.

Duanmu Shu just lightly lifted her foot and appeared in front of Zhou Qing in the next moment.

"You have advanced in your cultivation since I last saw you. I heard you used the ’Silver Dragon Hand’ to fend off enemies in a critical moment during the recent danger?" Duanmu Shu said kindly.

Zhou Qing nodded, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you for bestowing such a powerful technique. If not for it, I might not have made it back this time."

"It was given because you unlocked the Gravity Zone key. How far have you cultivated it?" Duanmu Shu asked curiously.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to lie, "Barely reached Minor Achievement."

Duanmu Shu’s eyes brightened, "Not bad. You have a good talent. Keep working hard. Once you reach Great Success and Perfection as your cultivation improves, you will fully understand the true power of this technique."

"Yes, Elder!" Zhou Qing said.

Aware that with his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, he could severely injure a perfect-stage Golden Core with this technique, had it not been for his limited cultivation, the battle would not have been so arduous.

"By the way, after Ni Shimei broke through with her technique last time, didn’t she ask you to enter the Pocket World to unlock the Gravity Zone key? Unexpectedly, Wandering Souls appeared. Fortunately, only you successfully reached the destination."

"Although a thief broke in earlier through the tunnel, further inspection revealed no significant damage. Hence, I’m here to ask for your help." Duanmu Shu said kindly.

Zhou Qing had a vague suspicion of what she meant as soon as he heard this.

It also seemed that the matter with his second uncle was going to be left unsettled, and even Taiqing Sect seemed to have no solution.

Nevertheless, he asked, "Please speak, Elder."

Duanmu Shu said, "This time I plan to go into the Pocket World to find something. Since you have experience dealing with those Wandering Souls..."

While she spoke, Duanmu Shu took out a Yang Fire Talisman from her hand.

Zhou Qing: "..."

"Supreme Elder, it’s like this. Recently, my body..."

"I’ve already discussed with your master, and he agrees. Besides, if that thing can be retrieved, it might significantly help the sect, for example, Golden Sun Peak!" Duanmu Shu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing immediately looked at Duanmu Shu.

She nodded slightly at him.

Zhou Qing promptly vowed, "I will do my utmost."

It seemed Duanmu Shu trusted him. Otherwise, his master and the sect leader wouldn’t have revealed such a secret matter to her.

"Old Fourth, about Senior Sister Shi Zhen’s invitation, I thought about it. We can avoid going to the Jade Dining Hall but ask her to pack some food..."

As soon as Zhou Qing heard Yan’s voice, he turned and saw him disappear at his fastest speed, leaving only a hasty, fleeing figure behind.

...

This time, Zhou Qing was blindfolded and led into the Pocket World.

"Brother Zhou, you’re here!"

Zhou Qing had just had his blindfold removed and hadn’t yet adjusted to the glaring light when he heard Lu Yaoyao’s surprised voice in his ear.

Looking around, he saw not only Lu Yaoyao but also seven other Foundation Establishment brothers and sisters.

Just like last time.

They, too, had experience.

Elder Duanmu Shu said, "Kids, regarding the Wandering Souls, last time we went in, we specifically searched but found no trace. We don’t know where they hid."

"When Zhou Qing was left inside, we later sent two Golden Core disciples to search but encountered Wandering Souls of the same realm, and a battle ensued."

"So, we speculate that it’s related to the cultivation level of those who enter. Since you’re all Foundation Establishment this time, you’re likely to encounter Foundation Establishment Wandering Souls."

Upon hearing this, everyone, except Zhou Qing, wore expressions of lingering fear.

Last time, there were nine of them, with Lu Yaoyao being the only one at Qi Condensation, which initially attracted many Qi Condensation Wandering Souls, followed by Foundation Establishment ones.

In the Gravity Zone, the higher one’s cultivation, the more one was suppressed.

Now that Lu Yaoyao had advanced to Foundation Establishment, they could only imagine what they would face next.

"As before, the first one to unlock the key this time can choose one of the three top-tier sword techniques I have. Let me declare, these techniques are no less than the ’Silver Dragon Hand!’"

At this point, Duanmu Shu produced three jade slips in black, red, and silver.

Although they merely floated quietly in her palm, everyone felt an overwhelming sword intent.

Their eyes instantly sparkled.
