The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1254 - 374:

Shen Hanyi’s mind was still a bit behind, but she immediately thought of what Senior Number One had once said."I’ve been cultivating longer than you, looks like you should call me Senior Brother..."

Before Zhou Qing could finish his teasing, the two Blood Phoenix shadows suddenly let out a high-pitched cry, scattering countless red-gold spots of light.

These spots fell on the two of them, causing their bloodlines to resonate strangely.

Zhou Qing felt his blood suddenly boil, an unprecedented heat sweeping through his body.

Even more bizarre, the Phoenix Dao Pattern within him began to flicker violently out of control.

"Not good! This is..." Zhou Qing’s face changed dramatically, but it was already too late to stop it.

Shen Hanyi’s face was similarly flushed, as if the power of the Blood Phoenix within her had found its home, crazily surging toward Zhou Qing.

The air between them began to twist, forming a crimson-golden vortex.

Zhou Qing could clearly feel the power of the Blood Phoenix within him perfectly merging with Shen Hanyi’s, producing some mysterious transformation.

"This is the Blood Phoenix race’s..."

Shen Hanyi didn’t finish her sentence, and suddenly, with unknown strength, she groaned and raised her arm, embracing Zhou Qing.

However, her strong will as a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator made her eyes flash coldly, and she bit her lower lip hard, blood seeping out, forcing herself to let go.

Yet the power of the Blood Phoenix inside her, like a dam bursting, rushed uncontrollably toward Zhou Qing, even more fiercely than before.

"Stop! Or I’ll kill you!" Her voice was ice-cold, yet carried an imperceptible tremor.

Zhou Qing was also feeling unwell.

The veins on his forehead popped out with sweat rolling down, and the Phoenix Dao Pattern between his brows was blazing to an eye-piercing degree.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, trying to stay awake through the pain: "I... I can’t control it either..."

"You... you have to go—" Shen Hanyi squeezed out a few words with difficulty, her voice already sounding weak.

Zhou Qing bit his tongue hard, the taste of blood spreading in his mouth.

He staggered, trying to retreat, but as he turned—

"Hmm..."

A barely audible moan came from behind him.

Shen Hanyi ultimately couldn’t resist the pull of the bloodline power, coupled with her injuries, her will was somewhat fragile, and she softly collapsed onto Zhou Qing’s back.

Zhou Qing only felt a warm and soft sensation on his back, Shen Hanyi’s scorching breath sprayed onto his neck, carrying a faint fragrance.

His body stiffened, the suppressed power of the Blood Phoenix within him instantly spiraling out of control.

"No... impossible..." Shen Hanyi struggled weakly, her usually clear eyes now shimmering with confusion.

Her slender fingers gripped Zhou Qing’s shoulder tightly, her nails nearly embedded in the flesh, not knowing whether to push him away or pull him closer.

Zhou Qing turned his head with difficulty, facing directly into her eyes filled with a mix of shame, anger, and daze.

Their noses almost touched, breaths intertwined.

"You..." Shen Hanyi tried to speak, when suddenly a more intense bloodline resonance surged within her.

"Rip—"

The sound of fabric tearing echoed, Zhou Qing could no longer control the boiling power of the Blood Phoenix within him.

He growled lowly, his arms suddenly tightening, completely encasing the soft and warm figure in his embrace.

At this moment, their Phoenix Dao Patterns simultaneously shone brightly, the crimson-golden radiance intertwined into a cocoon, completely enveloping the two.

Soon, from within the light cocoon emerged a sound that seemed both painful and joyful...

...

Outside the cave mansion, Shen Yunzhou paced anxiously in front of the Four-Color Restriction.

From time to time, he leaned close to the restriction, trying to hear the nearly isolated sounds within, worry etched on his face.

"Not even allowed to look, it must be Zhou’s last-resort life-saving treasure..."

Shen Yunzhou’s fists clenched tightly, his throat moving, a hint of choke in his voice: "Yet he still brought it out to save my sister. This friendship... Shen Yunzhou will never forget."

Before his words finished, a strange, skittering sound suddenly echoed from the tunnel outside.

Shen Yunzhou’s eyes turned cold, and three mud-brown long swords immediately floated around him.

In the deep passage, viscous mist unexpectedly seeped in.

"Zhou, rest assured and focus on healing inside. With me here, I won’t let anyone disturb you!"

In the next moment, three hunched shadows burst from the mist, their hollow eyes fixed on him.

Then they let out a scream, rushing forward.

Shen Yunzhou snorted coldly, a chilling gleam flashing in his eyes.

"Back off!"

The sword edge swept through, a sudden explosion of sinister Sword Qi, before the three Tomb Guardians could react, their bodies fractured inch by inch...
