The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1258 - 375: Wait, Is This Reverse Dual Cultivation?

Shen Yunzhou’s heart tightened, "Not really familiar, we’ve just met twice.""This prince once had a close encounter with her, and your eye contours are quite similar to hers," Xuanyuan Shuo said with deep meaning.

Shen Yunzhou forced a couple of dry laughs, "The prince is joking, I just have a very common-looking face."

Xuanyuan Shuo said nothing, and looked at Zhou Qing again, "She’s back, and currently dueling someone at Wuxiang Mountain. Why not accompany me for a look?"

He then whispered, "It’s a good chance to explain the matter of the Peng Emperor to her, proving that what I said is true."

"Otherwise, who knows when we’ll meet again. This prince does not wish to be misunderstood by a late-stage Spirit Severing Realm practitioner."

Zhou Qing frowned slightly, involuntarily recalling the scene when they were transported earlier.

Obviously, Number Six sensed a deadly threat, which is why they were sent away so hurriedly.

Though she has broken through to Great Perfection, it is uncertain if her injuries have healed.

Moreover, that opponent acts ruthlessly, and if it truly comes to a critical moment, perhaps assistance from Xuanyuan Shuo could be sought.

No matter how it started, she has indeed become his woman now.

Furthermore, ever since he was mistakenly accused of peeking at female disciples bathing at the Taiqing Sect, his master had taught him.

As a man standing between heaven and earth, one must stand tall like a pine tree—admit the deeds done, repay debts owed, and for those wronged... take full responsibility.

Thinking of this, a trace of resolve flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes.

Though he is not a gentleman, he is by no means heartless and ungrateful.

"Alright!" Zhou Qing responded deeply.

Xuanyuan Shuo’s lips curved slightly, with a wave of his sleeve, the space before them was effortlessly torn like brocade.

He turned sideways to gesture "please," and within the dark spatial rift, distorted light beams could be vaguely seen.

"Where are you going?" Shen Yunzhou asked urgently.

Zhou Qing answered concisely, "Wuxiang Mountain."

Shen Yunzhou’s pupils contracted and he immediately said, "I’ll go too!"

Xuanyuan Shuo laughed indifferently, and the three stepped into the rift one after another.

In an instant, the world spun, and when their vision cleared, they were standing on the cliffs on the outskirts of Wuxiang Mountain.

"Boom——"

Just as the three emerged, a deafening explosion resonated ahead, and a violent spiritual power wave surged like a tsunami.

Zhou Qing instinctively raised a hand to shield himself, seeing the distant sky split distinctly through his fingers.

Above, dark clouds roiled like ink, below, an ice-crystalized azure firmament.

Shen Hanyi, still veiled, had silver hair wildly dancing, standing atop a ninth-grade Ice Lotus suspended in air.

Every time she waved her sleeve, myriad ice crystals converged into swords, tracing profound trajectories in the void.

While opposite, from within the churning black mist, ghastly white bone claws occasionally emerged, crushing the incoming ice swords.

Before the shattered ice crystals could hit the ground, they were corroded by an eerie aura from the black mist, turning into venomous green fluid that dripped down with a hiss from the sky.

"Her strength has increased again!" Xuanyuan Shuo squinted, looking at Shen Hanyi with a serious expression.

Then, his gaze shifted to the surging black mist, his heart sinking.

This mysterious person’s strength was surprisingly equal to that of the silver-haired woman, with every surge of the black mist resonating with the overcast clouds for miles around.

The Holy Martial Dynasty truly is experiencing a turbulent autumn lately!

Meanwhile, Shen Yunzhou looked at his elder sister with a worried expression, and promptly donned his mask.

He stared at the battlefield, throat tight.

If the other side is truly his third aunt’s family or someone else, he could neither help his elder sister nor become a bargaining chip for her opponent’s threats.
