The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1261 - 376: You’re Just Like Little Shen Hanyi, I’m Begging You (6k)_3

For a Spirit Slash Realm Perfection expert, if they are determined to escape, it’s tough to stop them without a well-laid trap."Seems like you made the trip for nothing." Xuanyuan Shuo shook his head, revealing a hint of apology on his face. "Hopefully, she will come back."

After speaking, he waved his sleeve, and the Nine Dragon Seal carried the three of them, slowly reversing direction, flying back the way they came.

Shen Yunzhou stood on the jade seal, looking at the fading space fluctuations in the distance, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes.

Zhou Qing gazed into the distance thoughtfully, his mind occupied with unknown musings.

...

Not long after, the two returned to the inn courtyard.

Lu Yaoyao was sitting by the stone table, leisurely enjoying exquisite snacks, with a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

She knew the two wouldn’t fight, even ten Shen Yunzhous aren’t worth looking at in front of her father.

It’s just that his realm was rather nauseating, nothing worth engaging in battle.

"Old Fourth!"

"Xiao Qing!"

The Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling, returning from gift shopping, heard the call and came out of the room.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly in greeting, then stepped forward to softly say to Luo Lingling, "Senior Sister, there’s something I’d like to speak to you about."

He then led Luo Lingling to the corner of the courtyard under the parasol tree, recounting the matter about the White Crane.

After listening, Luo Lingling remained silent for a long while.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing did not disturb her, returning instead to his own room.

Opening the carved wooden window, Zhou Qing gazed at the bustling street scene outside, suddenly feeling an invisible pressure approaching.

Recently, having encountered too many Spirit Slash Realm experts, he deeply realized that at this level, the Divinity Transformation Realm is but a slightly larger ant.

Even his proudly held status as a fourth-level Array Master seemed so fragile in the face of absolute power.

Poison, cultivation techniques, divine techniques, even sect threats—Spirit Slash Realm has countless means to make him comply.

The appearance of Yama especially brought him unprecedented urgency.

He must quickly advance his strength to the Spirit Slash Realm.

Originally planned, with a large stock of Five Elements Spirit Stones and two thousand top-grade spirit stones from the royal treasury.

The ’Demon-Suppressing Golden Bone’ technique, Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown foundation.

Refining three Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystals from Nangong Xiongba, along with help from Lu family sisters’ jade scrolls, insights from Bibo Celestial Lake’s nine Spirit Slash realizations, Nangong Xiongba’s Spirit Slash insights...

Plus, the ’Nine-turn Spirit Condensing Array’ from Master Xuanqing’s memory inheritance, which greatly aids Spirit Slash.

These resources raised his breakthrough probability to ninety percent, far exceeding the mere thirty percent certainty of the Old Emperor’s secret medicine.

Moreover, after mistakenly dual cultivating with Shen Hanyi, despite not knowing her physique, that trace of coldness allowed him to touch the Spirit Slash Realm again.

Zhou Qing could clearly feel, as the spiritual power circulated within him, that wisp of coldness followed him like a shadow.

Flowing through his meridians, each cycle making the spiritual power more refined and pure.

"Ninety-nine percent certainty..." Zhou Qing muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming brightly.

He spread his palm, a wisp of icy blue coldness slowly swirling in it.

The profound Dao charm contained within the coldness made his understanding of the Spirit Slash Realm grow deeper.

"I wonder how those materials Elder Mo is finding for me are coming along?" Zhou Qing looked out the window expectantly.

Since his last visit to Duobao Trading House, Elder Mo promised to fully gather the remaining materials.

But the situation now is urgent, he can no longer wait passively.

’Nine-turn Spirit Condensing Array’, as a medium array of the Four-Color Array, is extremely hard to craft.

Though he is a newly minted fourth-level Array Master, crafting this array perfectly is more difficult than usual.

Last visit to Duobao Trading House, although Elder Mo provided the materials, several essentials are still missing, though most basic materials are already in place.

"Perhaps I can first refine the basic part of the array..." Zhou Qing pondered thoughtfully.

After thoroughly thinking it through, he immediately convened Lu Yaoyao, Ghost Mastiff, and Luo Lingling to explain his detailed plan.

After listening, they expressed unwavering support without hesitation.

Out of caution, Luo Lingling even booked all surrounding rooms to ensure absolutely no disturbances.

However, that night, Shen Yunzhou sneaked into Zhou Qing’s room.

"I advise you to wait another two days," he whispered.

Zhou Qing paused for a moment, sighed softly, "Ultimately, I must face it. I’ll wait for half a month."

Shen Yunzhou grinned, "Don’t worry, brother-in-law. My sister won’t do anything to you. Besides, you have me."

"Firstly, don’t call me brother-in-law." Zhou Qing glanced at him, "Secondly, you? You act like a mouse in front of your sister, what can I hope from you?"

"Hey, you just don’t understand!" Shen Yunzhou puffed out his chest, looking proud.

"I’m just pretending! Who am I, Shen Yunzhou? I’m the future Shitian Emperor... wait..."

He hadn’t even finished speaking when he seemed to sense something, slapped his storage bag, revealing a jade platform flashing increasingly faster.

"It’s over! My sister is here!" He jumped up in a panic, "Zhou, good luck!" With that, he rushed to the door.

Zhou Qing’s heart sank, but given the circumstances, he could only face it head-on.

Soon, a bone-chilling coldness suddenly engulfed the entire courtyard.

Lu Yaoyao, who was meditating, suddenly opened her eyes, showing joy on her face.

As she got up to open the door, Shen Yunzhou rushed in like the wind, quickly closing the door behind him.

"Sister! Listen to your brother, don’t go out!" Shen Yunzhou broke into a sweat, his voice trembling, "Anyone who goes out now is doomed!"
