The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 132 Damn it, everyone is acting, I am the only one who takes it seriously (6k)

Hearing Gao Xuan's words, Mo Xingjian and Zhou Qing looked at him in disbelief.

The two never expected that the first person to raise objections would be Gao Xuan, whom they had always suspected.

And he pointed directly at Xuanjizi of Tianji Sect.

In response to Gao Xuan's words, Cao Zhengyang pondered, "Junior Brother Gao's concerns are not without reason, but we have no choice now. Moreover, Tianji Sect wants to see the balance of the five major sects disrupted more than anyone else, so I think it's worth a gamble."

Gao Xuan was about to say something, but Mo Xingjian stood up, bowed to everyone, and then said, "This time, I stand on Senior Brother Gao's side. I also think that Tianji Sect cannot be trusted."

Gao Xuan looked at Mo Xingjian in surprise, then seemed to understand something and shifted his gaze to Zhou Qing who was standing beside him.

Zhou Qingze lowered his head and remained silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Cao Zhengyang couldn't help but frown and said, "Junior Brother Gao, Junior Brother Mo, we don't have much time left now. We need everyone to work together and pull together as one. Why do you suddenly have different opinions?"

Then Cao Zhengyang looked at the supreme elders standing beside him.

Duanmu Shu and other supreme elders all had calm expressions and closed eyes, as if what was happening in the outside world had nothing to do with them.

After all, the current headmaster is Cao Zhengyang, and their duty is to protect the sect.

Mo Xingjian looked solemn as he bowed to everyone and said loudly, "Brothers and sisters, at this critical moment, we must remain rational and not act impulsively."

"The people and things we ignore the most are sometimes the most deadly. I've received intel that the Tianji Sect is actually backed by the Cang Yan Dao Palace. Don't ask me where I got this information. I'm just asking, do you dare to take a gamble and put your life and property in someone else's hands?"

Mo Xingjian directly questioned everyone.

For a moment, everyone was whispering to each other, and all kinds of suspicions and discussions arose one after another.

Cao Zhengyang frowned even more tightly, and now he looked at Zhou Qing.

When Xuanjizi came to discuss the plan last night, everyone had no objection and nodded in agreement. Even Junior Brother Mo specially added some details.

But not long after Junior Brother Mo left today, he returned with Zhou Qing, and his attitude took a sharp turn for the worse, even wanting to bring him along for such a confidential meeting.

What kind of magic potion did this kid give to Junior Brother Mo?

"Master, let me ask you, what if something happens? At least most of the peak masters and hall masters present here should leave. If a wrong decision is made, there won't be many people here to discuss things next time." Mo Xingjian said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference hall fell into deathly silence.

Cao Zhengyang said nothing, but just kept thinking.

"You're a hidden thread..."

"I don't know!" As soon as Cao Zhengyang opened his mouth, Mo Xingjian immediately refused to answer.

This left Cao Zhengyang speechless.

Mo Xingjian’s attitude now is that it depends on whether you trust outsiders or your own brothers.

After a brief thought, Cao Zhengyang looked at Zhou Qing again and said, "I think the turning point of the problem lies with you. Zhou Qing, come out and explain yourself. At the very least, you need to give us a reason to believe you."

Zhou Qing never expected that the head teacher would suddenly target him.

Especially as Cao Zhengyang's voice fell, everyone looked at Zhou Qing in unison, including the supreme elders such as Duanmu Shu who had kept their eyes closed.

Ever since the child lost his cultivation, they can't even enter the cave heaven. The many Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment disciples they sent before were all defeated as expected and could not withstand the attacks of those wandering souls.

Being stared at by so many people, Zhou Qing looked confused and said, "I don't know."

Mo Xingjian quickly said, "What does this have to do with my apprentice? Don't change the subject."

Cao Zhengyang was speechless, so he looked at him and said, "After saying so much, what do you mean?"

Mo Xingjian immediately said, "In short, we can't trust Xuanjizi, but we can take this opportunity to use his tricks against him."

"You mean, we should just take the first route openly?" Cao Zhengyang frowned.

Mo Xingjian nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, perhaps it will be faster than expected. After all, we have people from Tianji Sect to escort us."

Cao Zhengyang was silent, then stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he looked at everyone.

No one spoke, just looked at Cao Zhengyang quietly.

You are the helmsman we chose willingly. No matter which direction the Taiqingmen ship sails, they will follow without complaint.

Afterwards, Cao Zhengyang looked at Gao Xuan and Mo Xingjian again, but suddenly smiled strangely.

"Try it, and you'll know, won't you?"

…………

On Xiaoling Peak, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu followed Mo Xingjian closely and saw him packing his things.

Zhou Qing's face was full of worry and he was nervous inside, fearing that his wrong guess would push everyone into the abyss.

"What you have to do now is to let everyone see that our Taiqing Sect is on high alert and can rush to support at any time!" Mo Xingjian solemnly instructed while carefully checking the necessary things.

Zhou Qing asked hesitantly, "Are you really sure?"

At this moment, Mo Xingjian's lips curled up into an enigmatic smile, his eyes revealing a hint of admiration and respect. He then lowered his voice and whispered to the two of them, "Actually, we've all been deceived by our Head Brother."

"What...what do you mean?" The two were stunned when they heard this.

Mo Xingjian acted decisively and used the art of voice transmission. "I've only just learned about this. This old fellow's acting skills are even more sophisticated than mine. After the defection of Gu Tao, the headmaster of the Mission Hall, and Liu Long's self-explosion yesterday, the Sect Master is now suspicious of everyone. How could he easily trust an outsider?"

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu were still confused.

Mo Xingjian then said, "Damn it, everyone's just acting, and I'm the only one taking it seriously. Today's discussion is actually a test. Do you think that so-called support means leading hundreds of thousands of disciples to march in a mighty force and then engage the enemy in battle?"

The two nodded: "What else?"

Mo Xingjian shook his head and said, "I thought so too at first, but the Sect Master's words have really enlightened us. Sometimes, even just a dozen people are enough to provide support. As long as we can open a few more gaps and give the Qingyu Immortal Sect's people a chance to show their strength, what happens next will have nothing to do with us."

"Why should we sacrifice so many of our own disciples for someone else's affairs? If it really comes to that, the worst that can happen is we'll just have to move. At least our foundation will still be there. As for the Cave Heaven, screw it, we don't even need it."

"We've explored for so long, but couldn't even cross a river of blood. Every time, we came out seriously injured. Now, because of the wandering soul, we can't even get in. What's the point? Opportunity is a good thing, but it's also like a shackle that has imprisoned Taiqing Sect for countless years. Sometimes, knowing how to let go can bring relief."

"And that thing beneath the gravity zone is a great gift. Of course, I didn't say that, but your head teacher said it all. This old man has a longer-term vision than anyone else."

When Zhou Qing heard this, his eyes were filled with admiration, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

These old guys are all old foxes!

"So, you are going to provide reinforcements now?" Zhou Qing said.

Mo Xingjian nodded. "That's right. If there was an ambush, the eighteen of us in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm would be able to escape unscathed without any hindrance. If there wasn't an ambush, that would be even better. It would also confirm your guess."

"Eighteen people? Are they all the peak masters and several hall masters?" Yan Xiaohu asked.

Mo Xingjian said, "Except for your uncle Gao Xuan, he will temporarily take over the position of headmaster and stay with several supreme elders to guard the sect in case of any emergency."

When Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu heard that Gao Xuan would stay behind, they were both shocked. Isn't this too risky?
"I know what you want to say, but this is the order of the master. I would never agree to it before, but now, I respect and trust his every arrangement. Don't worry, since he does this, he must have his own ideas." Mo Xingjian said.

Now that things have come to this, what else can the two of them say?

"Okay, you two just stay home and don't run around. Just wait for our good news!" After Mo Xingjian finished speaking, he smiled and patted their shoulders, then turned into a stream of light and headed towards Shenyue Peak.

At this time, a short-distance teleportation array had been set up there, just like when Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu went to Lingyun Mansion.

After all, there are definitely surveillance outside the main gate, even including some spies inside Taiqing Gate.

When the two came out, they saw huge warships lying across the sky, like ancient giant beasts lying dormant. The hulls of the ships gleamed with a cold metallic luster, and the flow of runes emitted powerful spiritual fluctuations.

The sails rustled as disciples came in and out, continuously adding powerful defensive and offensive formations.

Below, Xiao Lingfeng's true disciples, inner and outer disciples, gathered like a tide, their formations neat and their armors distinct.

Many deacons stood in the air, their robes fluttering, examining the disciples with sharp eyes, and issuing instructions from time to time.

Accompanied by the sound of horns, they began to gather towards Shenyue Peak as ordered.

The wind was howling wildly, and the whole world was filled with a murderous atmosphere.

The two looked at each other, worried.

Perhaps no one knows that reinforcements have actually begun.

But since I have chosen to act, I will just act to the end.

The two of them also rushed towards Shenyue Peak.

When we got here, we saw that the sky was filled with warships, blocking out the sun. Those warships were like giant steel beasts, emitting a terrifying pressure.

A heavy atmosphere of solemnity permeated every inch of the space, and everyone could clearly feel the tension and oppression of a war about to begin.

"Senior Brother Zhou!" Seeing Zhou Qing falling from Yan Xiaohu's flying sword, Lu Yaoyao immediately ran over quickly, her pretty face full of worry, her eyes filled with anxiety and fear.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing smiled slightly and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, it's okay."

It seems that apart from the master who specifically told them about this matter, the other peak masters did not reveal anything.

At this moment, many core disciples also came from all directions to gather together. Although they didn't know what the arrangements would be next, but based on the fact that the two people in the Spirit Transformation Realm came here to self-destruct and wanted to wipe them out at once, they had to retaliate well.

Of course, after all these years, this was the first time that everyone had seen the strength of Taiqing Sect and seen so many people gathered together.

The passionate war drums sound like thunder, and the majestic horns sound like the roars of tigers and dragons. The sounds are pleasant to the ears, making one's blood boil and giving one goose bumps.

An invisible surge of fighting spirit made people tremble. Watching this scene, Zhou Qing suddenly fell silent.

So the next thing to do is to set off at night and then meet up with Tianjimen.

If my guess is correct, Cang Yan Dao Palace and others should have set up a tight net along the second route.

What they have to do is to delay as much as possible, and when the time is right, they can come up with any excuse to return.

But now, the feeling of the coming war made Zhou Qing feel a little uneasy in his heart.

It could be from an unknown source, or it could be this fake Master Gao Xuan, or Elder Jiang Pu who guards the Soul Lighthouse, and so on.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing suddenly pulled Yan Xiaohu aside and whispered, "I'm worried about Master."

Yan Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, then quickly seemed to understand something, and said excitedly, "You want to secretly go to Qingyu Xianzong?"

Looking at Yan Xiaohu's appearance, Zhou Qing was stunned.

Something is wrong. Something is very wrong with you!
Yan Xiaohu met Zhou Qing's gaze, grinning, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "We are indeed brothers. We even have the same idea. I'm broke right now, so this is a great opportunity to make a fortune."

"Once you're on the battlefield, you can easily pick up storage bags. Regardless of which faction you're on, spirit stones and elixirs are crucial strategic supplies, and the quantities are bound to be enormous."

Zhou Qing looked at him and said, "When did you have this idea?"

Yan Xiaohu scratched his head and answered truthfully, "Just a few breaths ago. I was planning to sneak away alone. After all, you are now the treasure of our sect and we cannot afford to lose you. I dare not take such a risk with you."

Zhou Qing laughed.

"If I were afraid of these things, I would have been like a canary, well-protected by the sect, with everything I wanted. But the result would be that I would be raised to be a flashy waste." Zhou Qing said.

Yan Xiaohu knew Zhou Qing wasn't afraid of these things, so he explained, "My Nascent Soul Enhancement can quickly elevate me to a higher realm. In addition, I've been practicing several powerful secret techniques lately, so I'm more than capable of protecting myself."

"As long as I don't show up much, no one should notice me. If all else fails, I can just call Lao Mo. My elders will be there anyway. But if I bring you along, I'm afraid Lao Mo will break my legs afterwards..."

Zhou Qing said: "Don't forget your retreat, it requires two people to perform."

In fact, he had his own concerns and thoughts behind this sudden change of mind.

First of all, it was the impact of the Qian Dafu incident on him. After all, it was difficult for anyone to see what kind of thoughts and plots were hidden behind those seemingly harmless faces.

Just like Xuanjizi who appears to be an immortal, who would have thought that Tianji Sect, which is dedicated to maintaining the stability of the five major sects, would be one of the instigators of this war.

His master and his fellow uncles are all his family members, and he will never allow anyone to hurt them.

But what his third senior brother said before still made him take it to heart.

What if the Qingyu Immortal Sect is also the mastermind behind this chess game?

Are they deliberately showing weakness in order to reap the benefits and attack after other sects have suffered heavy losses?

You know, the second uncle, remembering their past friendship, had sent a message to Fairy Xuanyou, revealing that the person with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head was in Taiqing Sect.

Because of this, she visited frequently during that period, including when her own golden elixir was crushed, she came to visit in person.

Those who have three flowers gathered at the top of their heads are guaranteed to achieve the Soul-Slaying Realm in the future. As the leader of a sect, she certainly wants to save herself, but she is more worried that the surrounding sects will rise up in the future, thus threatening the status of the Qingyu Immortal Sect, and may even cause the Qingyu Immortal Sect to face the fate of being swallowed up.

When faced with the choice between the sect and herself, which path do you think she will choose?

When the two sides meet, they will inevitably fight together. What if she stabs them in the back and puts Taiqingmen in a desperate situation?
At least I am bound to her, and I can at least roughly understand her intentions, which is safer after all.

"I must go!" Zhou Qing immediately expressed his attitude.

Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing's determined eyes and knew that once this guy made up his mind, no one could easily change it.

In fact, it is indeed not safe for Zhou Qing to stay in the sect. What if the person who impersonates Gao Xuan suddenly has bad intentions?

"Okay, I'll arrange it!" Yan Xiaohu thought for a moment and then nodded in response.

Zhou Qing suddenly laughed.

"Brothers working together can cut through gold!"

Lu Yaoyao, who was standing by, looked at the two people communicating with each other, her face full of curiosity. She also wanted to know.

But at this moment, the second senior brother He Han came over from the other side and whispered a few words in her ear.

After a slight hesitation, Lu Yaoyao left with him.

"Niu Guangmo, I'll leave the affairs of Xiaoling Peak to you. We'll go back first!"

Yan Xiaohu gathered Niu Guangmo and eight other true disciples together, gave them some careful instructions, and then hurried away with Zhou Qing.

"I need to prepare a set of clothes!" Zhou Qing said.

At this moment, he regretted not learning the second uncle's magical and unpredictable art of transformation, otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about anything.

Yan Xiaohu also changed his clothes and even put on a mask.

"You should wear it too. After all, we are here to make money from the dead. It would be bad if they target us and come to ask for money at night!" Yan Xiaohu said.

Zhou Qing was speechless. He had ten broken top-grade fire-attribute spirit stones on him, so he was not short of money.

But he still reached out and took the mask.

After everything was ready, the two of them quickly arrived at the mountain gate barrier, only to find that the place was already heavily guarded.

"It's already so late, where are you two going?" Elder Wuzhu couldn't help but ask after seeing the two of them.

Yan Xiaohu stealthily pulled Elder Wuzhu aside and whispered, "Master, we have received a secret mission. Please don't make it public."

Elder Wuzhu couldn't help but give Yan Xiaohu a blank look.

Who would give you a mission when you're so careless? Not to mention bringing someone like Zhou Qing with you?

"Go back quickly, or I might catch you as a spy!" said Elder Wuzhu.

Yan Xiaohu said seriously, "It's true, and it was secretly told to me by the head teacher. If you delay because of this, you can't bear the responsibility."

Seeing Yan Xiaohu's serious look, Elder Wuzhu couldn't help but become suspicious. He immediately took out his identity token and wanted to ask the headmaster.

Yan Xiaohu swore, "After the head teacher sent a secret order to my brothers and me, he went away and you couldn't contact him."

Sure enough, Elder Wuzhu sent an inquiry message, but there was no reply after waiting for a long time.

"See, you still don't believe me. Do I look like a liar? I'm leaving first!" Yan Xiaohu was about to leave after he finished speaking, but was stopped by Elder Wuzhu.

Then, he frowned and said, "If it were someone else going out, I would think it's possible, but one of you is unreliable, and the other one doesn't even have spiritual power anymore. It's strange no matter how you look at it. At this critical moment, I will not allow anyone to go out and bring hidden dangers to the sect."

Yan Xiaohu was immediately upset when he heard this. He put his hands on his hips and said, "No, what do you mean by replacing someone else? Why are we unreliable? You are blatantly discriminating..."

Before Yan Xiaohu could finish his words, Zhou Qing hurriedly pulled him away. Didn't he see that Elder Wuzhu was ready to take real action?

The barrier of the Qingyu Immortal Sect's mountain gate was opened by someone who colluded with both inside and outside forces. From Elder Wuzhu's perspective, he had reason to suspect anyone and take coercive measures.

"You old stubborn fellow, do you think this is the only way? I have other options. Old Four, let's go!"

Yan Xiaohu snorted, then turned and left with Zhou Qing.

He quickly reached the other side, cursing, "You only have three chances, and you wasted one on your own turf. I feel so bad."

As Yan Xiaohu spoke, he took out a white jade bead the size of a pigeon egg.

Zhou Qing approached suspiciously: "Third Brother, what is this?"

Yan Xiaohu chuckled and said, "When you and Master and Senior Sister went out to break through, you thought I served my brother-in-law for more than forty days for nothing. This is my reward."

Zhou Qing was stunned.

Yan Xiaohu said, "My brother-in-law has a bead the size of a fist that can easily penetrate any barrier. That's how he sneaked in. I had to talk my mouth off in front of him to get this tiny bead."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel shocked.

This white crane can actually use a bead to easily penetrate the Taiqing Sect's mountain gate barrier?
If he has evil intentions, the sect will be in danger.

"Let's not talk about it anymore, hold on tight!" Yan Xiaohu said, then he grabbed Zhou Qing's arm tightly. After the bead was activated, the two disappeared instantly.

When he appeared again, he was already outside.

"That's awesome! I'll definitely get more next time I meet my brother-in-law!" Looking at the scenery outside, Yan Xiaohu was full of admiration.

Zhou Qing was also shocked.

After the two changed their clothes, they immediately galloped away into the distance.

…………

Under the cover of night, eighteen figures continued to advance towards the Qingyu Immortal Sect at the fastest speed until they successfully passed the ambush area they thought was most likely.

Everything is self-evident.

"Let's go!" Cao Zhengyang suddenly changed direction and headed northwest.

That is the area where the Jinlei Sect is located.

Everyone was stunned, as if they had guessed something, but they didn't say much, just followed the headmaster silently.

Thanks to [Weimiao Weixiao] for the reward of 1100, thank you for your support!
