The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1235 370: Zhou Qing Is Likely in Mortal Danger

"Young man, do you need some help?" Sikong Yan stepped out of the void with a playful smile hidden beneath his mask.Zhou Qing looked at him, feeling a sense of admiration rise within him.

After years of planning going to waste, this person could still joke and laugh; such a mindset was truly extraordinary.

Before he could respond, Sikong Yan suddenly grabbed his wrist: "There are two Spirit Severing Realm experts chasing us! If they catch you and you give me away, that would be troublesome!"

"What if I give you away?" Zhou Qing said, "You don't have anything holding you back."

"That's a mistaken view." Sikong Yan's eyes flashed with cunning, "I'm the kind of person who likes operating in secret. If my identity is exposed, how can I continue the game?"

Before he finished speaking, his left hand formed into a sword, ready to tear open space——

"Lock!"

A shout erupted from behind.

Xuanyuan Hao held a bronze ancient seal, where nine dragons entwined around it, emit glaring golden light.

The space within a hundred feet instantly solidified like iron, even the flow of spiritual power was momentarily halted.

Sikong Yan's pupils slightly contracted: "Nine Dragon Locking Sky Seal? Such a restrictive treasure against Spirit Severing Realm, hasn't it been broken for many years?"

Ignoring everything, he fiercely pulled Zhou Qing's wrist and dashed forward.

The two pursuers followed closely, maintaining the perfect distance to prevent their opponent from tearing open space.

And whenever the distance shortened, Sikong Yan would flick his hand backward without turning and cast out multiple streams of purple flame.

The flames transformed into demonic lotus shapes in the air, bursting and scattering the route of pursuit.

"This treasure requires consuming primordial spirit essence to activate; they definitely can't hold out for long."

Sikong Yan spoke rapidly, quickly asking, "Where's the nearest node to the Hidden Dragon Path?"

Zhou Qing didn't dare be careless; his mind raced, spiritual power entwined like threads at his fingertips, and in an instant, sketched a phantom of a miniature teleportation array in the void.

The array pattern circulated, clearly pointing northeast.

"Northeast!" he shouted.

Sikong Yan's eyes gleamed with precision, his lips curled into a smile: "Good!"

Before the voice fell, his purple robe fluttered, his whole body suddenly erupted with dazzling purple-golden light.

Their speed soared dramatically, creating a long trail of purple-golden tail flame in the sky.

Behind them, Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Sha's attacks grew increasingly fierce.

Golden dragon shadows, bloody blade flashes, azure sword Qi, various divine techniques of Spirit Severing Realm poured down like a torrential rain.

But at this moment, Sikong Yan changed his strategy, no longer defending, but infusing all spiritual power into his escape speed.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Three golden arrow lights flew past Zhou Qing's temples, leaving several blood marks on his face from the fierce wind.

Sikong Yan maneuvered Zhoe Qing like a fish, weaving through the attack gaps, sometimes suddenly changing direction, sometimes rapidly diving to evade all Spirit Severing Realm attacks.

"Old folks, try keeping up!" Sikong Yan didn't forget to taunt, his voice full of mockery.

Yet Zhou Qing could feel the hand gripping his wrist trembling slightly.

Evidently, such intense dodging consumed an enormous amount of spiritual power.

At this moment, many in the Inner City raised their heads in confusion, looking towards the sky.

There, three streams of light vanished in an instant, but the cloud layer was torn apart, and the air emitted sharp explosive sounds.

Indeed, half an incense stick later, Xuanyuan Hao's face paled, sweat like beans dripped from his forehead, forcing him to hand the ancient seal to Xuanyuan Sha.

His speed suddenly decreased drastically, clearly overconsumed.

"Now's the chance!" Sikong Yan's eyes brightened, "Listen up, that secret treasure is only one piece. You managed to survive such a short distance from the border, showing you have a special means to tear open space."

He explained swiftly: "Because I can't be sure whether Xuanyuan Shuo has returned, if he intercepts us, both of us will be in danger."

"Now, we split up! Don't worry, that treasure would certainly be used on me."

Without waiting for Zhou Qing's response, Sikong Yan suddenly lifted him, muscles knotted around his arms, and threw him like a javelin toward the northeast: "Good luck, kid!"

Zhou Qing felt a gentle force envelop him, the wind whistling past his ears.

The last thing he saw was Sikong Yan turning and sprinting towards another direction.

In the distance, Xuanyuan Sha's face was dark and ominous: "The three elixirs are in that man in green's hands! That black-clothed Spirit Severing Realm was covering for him from the start!"

Xuanyuan Hao wiped the golden blood from the corner of his lips, his gaze fierce: "This person could have escaped alone earlier, yet chose to flee with that kid, the elixir's direction is already clear."

"Not necessarily." Xuanyuan Sha squinted, "Perhaps this person is also a Spirit Severing Realm in disguise, just to confuse us."

"Split up and pursue them!" Xuanyuan Hao decided instantly.

The two immediately separated.

With the Nine Dragon Locking Sky Seal no longer restricting them, Xuanyuan Hao directly tore open the space, and in the next moment, his figure appeared eerily in front of Zhou Qing!

"Boom!" Golden dragon Qi sealed in all directions, Zhou Qing slammed to a halt, his masked face suddenly changing.

Xuanyuan Hao stood in the air, nine golden dragon shadows circling around him, the murderous intent in his eyes almost tangible.

"Tri-color array exploding just like that, truly extravagant..."

Before Xuanyuan Hao could finish, Zhou Qing flipped his hand, four ancient array flags of different hues and an array disc inscribed with turtle shell patterns appeared out of nowhere.

This was the perfect level Four-Color Array, [Mysterious Armor Returning Origin Array], obtained by slaying Yan Sen in the Kunpeng Palace years ago.

This time, it was used when he condensed tens of thousands of spirit seals, elevating him to Fourth-level Array Master, also being used for protection.

"Explode!"

At that moment, without hesitation, Zhou Qing tossed out the array disc, the four-color array flags unfolded themselves in the air, instantly forming a giant array covering hundreds of feet.
