The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 139 Impossible, This is Absolutely Impossible! (6k)

Yuan Ya still remembers how Junior Brother Li Si attacked Meng Xing alone. It was so quick and efficient, without any delay.

When she came back after killing two Jindan realm cultivators, she saw Meng Xing's body lying at Li Si's feet like a dead dog.

She was so angry that she rushed forward with the sword, slashing and stabbing with all her might, even tearing Meng Xing's Nascent Soul into countless pieces, completely avenging her master.

Unfortunately, he left suddenly at that time and she didn't get to see his appearance clearly. However, the scars on his face under the blood mud and his upright back when he left remained deeply in her heart.

That's a real man!

Seeing that Yuan Ya was acting like a little girl, Yan Xiaohu immediately quit.

No, what do you mean?
I saved you at that time. I was the one who killed all those Jindan realm cultivators. In the end, it was even me who helped you untie the restraints and gave you a recovery pill.

Is the difference so big?

At this moment, Zhou Qing scratched his head awkwardly, then looked at Yan Xiaohu.

Upon seeing this, Yan Xiaohu immediately crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly.

"He was unlucky and died!" Yan Xiaohu said coldly.

Yuan Ya's smile froze on her face instantly, her body shook involuntarily, and her ears, which were originally slightly red due to shyness, now turned pale.

His hands fell limply at his sides, his eyes were red and tears were welling up in his eyes.

"How...how is it possible...he, he is so powerful..." Yuan Ya's lips trembled slightly, her eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing this, Yan Xiaohu felt happy.

Senior sister, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid that the little flame of love that has just sprouted in you will be ruthlessly extinguished by this basin of cold water from me.

To be honest, my fourth son's current net worth is far less than even your clan leader's.

"Was it done by someone from Cang Yan Taoist Palace?" Immediately afterwards, Yuan Ya's face was instantly filled with murderous intent, and there seemed to be two balls of blazing flames in her eyes, ready to burst out.

This scene frightened the two of them so much that they subconsciously took a few steps back. The scene of her frantically tearing Meng Xing's Nascent Soul apart that day seemed to reappear in their minds.

It's really a visually impactful experience.

"Yes!"

"no!"

The two spoke almost at the same time, then looked at each other, and then hurriedly one shook his head and the other nodded.

"no!"

"Yes!"

Yuan Ya immediately stepped forward, stared at Yan Xiaohu closely, and asked, "Is it true?"

Yan Xiaohu subconsciously said, "He was killed by Song Yuan from the Cang Yan Dao Palace."

Zhou Qing hurriedly and quietly shook his head at Yan Xiaohu and asked, "Why are you talking about this?"

When Yuan Ya heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

"So it was him. Yes, he came here to avenge Meng Xing. It's all my fault. I've implicated Junior Brother Li!" Yuan Ya's face was full of self-blame and regret.

Yan Xiaohu couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he saw this. He really didn't expect Yuan Ya to react so strongly.

Does having a scar on your face make you look so manly? If I had known that when the fourth brother took out the scar strip, I should have applied it first.

"I know where Song Yuan is!" After a moment, Yuan Ya wiped her eyes vigorously, with murderous intent in her eyes.

Yan Xiaohu and Zhou Qing's eyes lit up immediately, and they asked in unison, "You know?"

Yuan Ya nodded slightly and said, "To be honest, there is a secret base of the Cang Yan Dao Palace in Youhuang City. Of course, we discovered it by chance half a month ago, so I was left here for surveillance."

"Just this morning, I saw Song Yuan arrive here with a group of people. Now I have passed the news back. I just want to see if there are any strong people from my Qingyu Xianzong nearby, and whether they can quickly dispatch them to keep him here forever!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu quickly asked, "How many Yuanying realm masters are there?"

Yuan Ya shook her head and said, "The stronghold is extremely heavily guarded. It's rare to see anyone coming out on weekdays. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we didn't dare to investigate further."

Yan Xiaohu didn't care at all, but was excited. In his opinion, as long as the person was here, nothing else mattered.

"Junior Brother Zhou, has your anger subsided? Compared to last time, I don't feel that burning sensation when I'm close to you anymore. I've already arranged for a few junior sisters to join me. I'm thinking of going to Taiqing Sect after this matter is over..."

"Senior Sister Yuan--" Zhou Qing quickly stopped her, then looked at Yan Xiaohu speechlessly.

Yan Xiaohu, however, kept winking at him.

Helpless, Zhou Qing had to tell the truth that he had fully recovered.

When Yuan Ya heard this, she was immediately surprised. She really didn't expect that Zhou Qing had recovered as before after just a few months of not seeing him.

What good luck!

"So, you are here to look for Song Yuan too?" Yuan Ya finally understood why they suddenly appeared here.

Yan Xiaohu's expression straightened up and he said, "I came here just to avenge Brother Li Si."

After hearing this, Yuan Ya shook her head repeatedly and said with a worried look on her face, "Among the five great geniuses of the Cang Yan Dao Palace, Song Yuan's status is even higher than Meng Xing's. Moreover, his cultivation has reached the late Nascent Soul Realm. Even if all of us combined, we are no match for him."

Yan Xiaohu had just entered the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and Zhou Qing was in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm, and had just recovered with great difficulty. Facing such an existence, it was undoubtedly like an egg hitting a rock.

"Don't worry, we know where the stronghold is?" Yan Xiaohu asked hurriedly.

It’s not like we hadn’t killed a late Nascent Soul cultivator some time ago, and it was done by the fourth brother alone.

Now with him, it’s easy.

"I can't just watch you die. Wait a little longer. Maybe a master from my sect is rushing here quickly." Yuan Ya persuaded.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu looked at each other.

Once your people arrive, we can only follow behind you and play bystander. How can we talk about gaining any experience?

There’s only one storage bag, and it’s not enough for everyone to share.

Yan Xiaohu was about to say something when Zhou Qing spoke first, "Alright, let's wait for the others to arrive before we act together. This is definitely safer."

Yuan Ya nodded in satisfaction and said, "Yes, now our two sects are allies, and the Cang Yan Dao Palace is our common enemy."

"Senior Sister Yuan is right. It's just right that we have rushed all the way here and haven't even had time to eat. How about Senior Sister, please spend some money and treat us to a meal today?" Zhou Qing said with a smile.

Yuan Ya immediately responded readily: "Of course, I'm eating upstairs too, let's go together."

Yan Xiaohu looked at Zhou Qing with confusion, but did not ask any more questions.

After finishing their meal, the two said goodbye, saying that they had some other things to deal with and would meet again after they were done.

Looking at Zhou Qing walking around, Yan Xiaohu finally couldn't help but ask, "No, what's your plan?"

Zhou Qing calmly analyzed the situation, "From Senior Sister Yuan Ya's perspective, even though 'Li Si' was so powerful, he was killed by Song Yuan. How could she possibly let us die in vain? Therefore, she definitely won't tell us the exact location. She might even be worried that we might act rashly and alert the enemy."

After hearing this, Yan Xiaohu nodded thoughtfully, and soon seemed to understand something. He asked tentatively, "Are you planning to follow her?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Didn't she say that she stayed in Youhuang City to secretly monitor that stronghold? If she was monitoring it, she must have visited it frequently."

Yan Xiaohu's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he quickly coughed and said, "Actually, I thought so too. That's why I didn't ask you much during the whole meal. Lao Si, I have to say, your brain is almost catching up with mine now."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my third senior brother is the smartest. I still have a lot to learn from him."

"Of course not, let me take this chicken for a walk, Mr. Chicken!"

"If you mention this nickname again, I'll really get mad at you."

"Okay, okay, what about the cock?"

"roll!"

…………

As the night deepened, a figure was leaping and flying across the rooftops, unaware that two people in night clothes were quietly following him not far behind.

Until they saw Yuan Ya fall into a yard, three people immediately came out quickly, saluted, and reported something to her.

Yuan Ya nodded slightly, and walked out again, her eyes fixed on a mountain villa in the distance.

At this moment, a faint divine consciousness suddenly came from the villa and scanned the surroundings. Seeing this, Yuan Ya left immediately.

Not long after, two furtive heads popped out from another rooftop.

"Is it dark under the lamp? They use such a big villa as their base!" Yan Xiaohu clicked his tongue.

This reminded him of when he was in Yanlong City and the Qingyu Immortal Sect came to participate in the Five Sects Yibao Gathering and booked a villa like this.

Zhou Qing went in to look for a prostitute and saw Cui Yingying and others taking a hot spring bath.

Things are unpredictable. Now Cui Yingying and others have been killed by the self-explosion of Ji Ying and Huang Xiu, two people in the God Transformation Realm.

"What should we do now?" Yan Xiaohu asked in a low voice.

Zhou Qing said: "Senior brother is smarter than me, I will listen to him."

Yan Xiaohu: “…”

"The main thing is that we don't know what this base is for, and how many people are inside. Now it seems that the three disciples have low cultivation levels, so they can monitor them here without arousing suspicion. Yuan Ya needs to leave to a certain extent to avoid being exposed!"

Yan Xiaohu analyzed.

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement: "Senior Brother is right."

Yan Xiaohu's old face couldn't help but turn red, and he laughed awkwardly: "Old Four, stop it, I'll listen to you."

Zhou Qing said seriously, "I'm not making a fuss. I really think you're right, Senior Brother. But nothing ventured, nothing gained. Since Senior Sister Yuan Ya has already informed the Qingyu Immortal Sect, I'm sure they won't let a genius like Song Yuan go."

Yan Xiaohu certainly understood.

Now that Meng Xing is dead, if another genius were to die, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Cang Yan Dao Palace.

"But isn't this too risky?" Yan Xiaohu couldn't help but worry.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Aren't we out here just for adventure?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiaohu was stunned at first, then he smiled.

"go!"

The two of them immediately approached the villa quietly, and then climbed over it nimbly.

Fortunately, the villa did not set up any defensive restrictions such as barriers this time. It must have been done intentionally to avoid attracting attention.

"Is it okay?" Not long after they entered, the two hid in a forest. Yan Xiaohu seemed to have thought of something and pointed at the old hen in Zhou Qing's arms. Zhou Qing indicated that it was okay because its mouth had been sealed with spiritual power and could not make any sound.

Yan Xiaohu finally felt relieved, and then the two of them dispersed and searched separately.

The villa was not big, and the two of them soon met here after walking around, both with confused looks on their faces.

Because the strongest aura in the entire villa is just that of a little old man in the Foundation Establishment Realm, who seems to be the owner of the villa.

Apart from this, there are no other practitioners.

But before they came in, there was indeed a faint divine consciousness quietly scanning the surroundings.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. The cunning Cang Yan Taoist Palace must have an underground secret room similar to the one I live in," Yan Xiaohu muttered cursingly.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but look at him, feeling happy in his heart.

"I'm going to search his soul!" Yan Xiaohu said, then turned and left.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to wait here quietly.

Not long after, Yan Xiaohu came back angrily, his face full of embarrassment. He said, "The owner of the manor is just an ordinary old man. He doesn't know anything about the Cang Yan Dao Palace. I gave him a pill as compensation for searching his soul."

After hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a moment, he murmured, "This cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest is a clever use of its power."

"Why don't we wait a little longer and see where that probing consciousness comes from," Yan Xiaohu said.

That's all it can do for now.

Afterwards, the two of them found a secluded place and paid close attention to the movements around them.

About an hour later, that alarming feeling of exploration indeed emerged again.

Zhou Qing directly used the "Virtual Realm Dharma Image" to completely transform his aura into that of an ordinary person, which made Yan Xiaohu jealous.

However, this method is too difficult to practice. Currently, only the second senior sister and the fourth elder sister have successfully practiced it in Xiaoling Peak.

He also quickly concealed his breath and quickly took out a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on his body.

The divine sense swept over slowly, but did not detect anything unusual.

"It looks like the consciousness of a late Nascent Soul Realm!" Yan Xiaohu said.

Zhou Qing also deeply felt the same way.

If they really encountered two late Nascent Soul Realm masters, or even more, then their rash incursion would indeed be too risky.

After all, they themselves are only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and it is extremely difficult for them to contend with a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"It seems to be over there!" Zhou Qing's soul was quite powerful, and he keenly captured the source. The two of them hurried over.

Soon, a back garden appeared in front of them. There was a pond in the garden, shimmering in the moonlight.

There are also several weeping willows scattered around, making it seem much quieter.

"Is it underwater? Isn't this like taking off your pants to fart? On the one hand, they are hiding in someone's house, afraid that others will find them, and on the other hand, they secretly release their spiritual sense to explore the surroundings, afraid that others will not know their hiding place," Yan Xiaohu criticized.

Zhou Qingze asked, "Could it be that the other party did this on purpose? Is there a trick here?"

After Zhou Qing's reminder, Yan Xiaohu's face changed. Maybe it was true.

"How about we retreat first?" Yan Xiaohu suggested.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing looked directly at the pond in front of him and immediately carried out the [Daily Review].

Soon, lines of information were fed back.

[Pond: This seemingly ordinary pond actually hides a mystical secret. At the very bottom lies a cavernous world, where many practitioners who have been secretly captured are imprisoned to be used in the creation of humanoid puppets.]

Seeing this, Zhou Qing didn't expect that the stronghold was really down there.

Humanoid puppet?
The half of the human-shaped puppet body that he and his third senior brother brought back had long been handed over by their master to the head teacher and others for research.

But up to now, the specific operating principles and corresponding restraint methods have not been analyzed.

However, one thing that is certain is that the prerequisite for refining this kind of puppet is that one needs to plant those unknown magic arrays into the other party's body while the other party is still alive, so that it slowly melts until it is completely integrated.

You know, the general puppets give people a basically mechanical, cold and dull feeling, but the humanoid puppets of the Cang Yan Taoist Palace this time are made from living human bodies and have extraordinary combat power.

Just like the half puppet he picked up, it was severely damaged by the self-detonation of several disciples of Qingyu Xianzong. But even so, after being recovered, it seemed to be able to be used again, which was extremely strange.

It was only through searching Meng Xing's soul that he found out that there were more than 4,000 humanoid puppets that had infiltrated the Qingyu Immortal Sect. The weakest was at the Golden Core Realm, and the strongest was already at the God Transformation Realm.

Especially the puppets in the Spirit Transformation Realm, almost every one of them has the terrifying combat power of fighting one against three, which is really frightening.

Perhaps we can take this opportunity to find some relevant clues.

"Go down and see!"

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, made an oxygen mask for the old hen, and then jumped down.

He didn't want to go around the villa looking for hens again.

Yan Xiaohu had no choice but to follow.

He is truly a man of great skill and courage, not worrying at all that this place is a trap.

How did you learn half of the fierceness of the eldest brother and half of the cowardice of the second sister?

When Zhou Qing entered the water, he felt like a dragon returning to the sea. He felt refreshed and at ease, as if he had merged seamlessly with the surrounding environment, like a fish in water.

Not only that, he could also sense some hazy things through the water flow, as if they were in telepathy.

"The amplification of these four flowers gathering at the top of the head is truly amazing!"

Practicing under the moonlight, mastering both water and fire, and having stored spiritual power and blood, now I experience them one by one and feel that I have benefited a lot.

"Slow down—"

Zhou Qing, who was diving continuously with a look of surprise on his face, suddenly felt something in his heart. He took out his identity token, only to find that it was sent by his third senior brother.

Turning around, I saw him swimming towards me quickly with the token in hand, and he quickly wrote on it, "No, when did you become such a good swimmer?"

Zhou Qing pointed at the water, and the water immediately formed the six words "Born to Swim Holy Body".

Currently, only his master and second uncle knew about the increase in his Nascent Soul's power. Since his third senior brother didn't ask, he didn't mention it on his own initiative.

Such a strange scene completely shocked Yan Xiaohu.

In the water, I saw someone writing with water, and he could see it. Isn’t that awesome?

[Good job, I deserve a reward, teach me next time! ]

Yan Xiaohu quickly wrote on the identity token again.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to nod.

Brother, there is actually no need to go through so much trouble. We are so close that we can just communicate by voice, and others won’t notice.

Then, the two of them went down little by little. What they didn't expect was that this pond seemed small on the surface, but it was so deep inside.

After half an incense stick of time had passed, Zhou Qing suddenly pointed to the bright light in front of them, and the two immediately became alert.

Just as Yan Xiaohu was about to write, Zhou Qing wrote with water [There is no restriction, don't worry].

Now he is the king of the water, and he can clearly sense whether there is anything hidden.

Then he closed his eyes and looked inside through the water.

He was shocked to discover that there was a cave underneath, the space was extremely large, and not far away, there were several disciples of Cang Yan Dao Palace sitting together, eating and drinking, and seemed to be talking about something, laughing from time to time, with a wretched look on their faces.

Zhou Qing opened his eyes, and water surged, forming words in front of his third senior brother.

【I'll go up first! 】

After saying that, he went in silently. When he stuck his head out from the other side, the people guarding nearby seemed not to have noticed him at all.

Until Zhou Qing climbed up and flew past with the broken sword in his hand.

Several people looked at Zhou Qing with confusion until their death, wondering when this person suddenly appeared and how they, with so many people, hadn't noticed him at all.

Zhou Qing quickly and quietly moved the bodies of several people to the other side and hid them, then pressed one hand on the water surface.

Soon, Yan Xiaohu crawled out.

He first looked around vigilantly and smelled a faint smell of blood.

"I say, you are really good at playing in the water. Where is the body?" Yan Xiaohu asked.

Zhou Qing pointed to a dark corner not far away.

Yan Xiaohu hurried over and started to dig at several people.

Then he came over with a few storage bags and said in a low voice, "You are really getting carried away now. You don't even take the money you have. A little bit of money will eventually add up to a lot."

Zhou Qing nodded helplessly, indicating that he would not do it again next time. In a situation like that just now, who would still care about these material possessions?

After packing up everything, the two of them sneaked quietly along the stone wall.

Not long after, bursts of horrifying screams suddenly came from the front. The two men were instantly alert and approached slowly and cautiously.

When they saw the tragic scene before them, they couldn't help but gasp.

Even the old hen in Zhou Qing's arms seemed to sense the eerie aura and its head shrank suddenly.

There were ten iron cages standing there, each holding no less than thirty people.

These people actually all exuded the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm, but at this moment, they all had empty eyes and dull faces, as if their souls had been searched countless times, leaving only a foolish body.

Looking at their chest and abdomen, one can see crisscrossing lines of hideous scars, which is shocking to the eye.

This made the two of them think of the scene inside the half-human puppet.

Zhou Qing had previously discovered through identification that these people were cultivators who were secretly captured to be used to refine humanoid puppets.

It seems that those magic arrays have been planted in their bodies. When the time comes, these people will be more flexible and have extraordinary combat power compared to ordinary puppets.

At the same time, on the iron frame on the other side, more than a dozen people were hung high like lambs to be slaughtered. Their stomachs were being cruelly ripped open, and their red blood and white organs were being dug out wantonly. Some people were frantically filling their abdominal cavities with inexplicable objects.

The screams that were worse than death came out from their mouths.

The disciples of the Cang Yan Dao Palace, dressed in red robes, divided the work in an orderly manner: opening the body, implanting magic arrays, roughly stitching it up, and nourishing it with potions...
