The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 142 Oh my god, I am not as good as a chicken (6k)

Soon, Zhou Qing helped Shi Zhen up, and Yan Xiaohu took the puppet, and they left the cave.

As soon as I flew up into the sky, I saw many people curiously surrounding the villa, and then a loud noise came from the cave.

Without hesitation, they left quickly.

Fortunately, they acted carefully along the way and did not delay much. After five days, they finally returned to the sect safely.

"Shi Zhen--" Tong Min, the head of Yuqing Peak, saw Shi Zhen coming back from afar and became extremely anxious. He hurried down.

Also coming was Pei Yan, the chief senior sister of Yuqing Peak.

It turned out that after Shi Zhen assisted Pei Yan in successfully completing the task, he learned about the war among the five sects, so he wanted to take this opportunity to accumulate some points to exchange for spirit stones.

After all, she couldn't use Junior Brother Zhou Qing's Infant-Forming Pill in vain.

However, he did not expect that not long after separating from Senior Sister Pei Yan, he encountered Elder Xue Gu and was unfortunately captured by him.

Not long after returning to the sect, Pei Yan received a message from Elder Jiang Pu of the Soul Lighthouse, saying that Shi Zhen's soul lamp was in an extremely weak state.

Pei Yan was immediately anxious and prepared to pack up and go out to look for Shi Zhen, but she didn't expect that Shi Zhen would return safely at this time. How could she not be happy?

"It was Junior Brother Zhou and Junior Brother Yan who saved me!" said Shi Zhen.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly, and Yan Xiaohu immediately straightened his chest, his face full of pride.

"Thank you." Tong Min said sincerely, looking specifically at Zhou Qing, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this child always brings unexpected surprises.

The last time she was most impressed was when Zhou Qing suffered from sleepwalking and wandered to her Yuqing Peak in a daze. In the end, she had to send him back personally.

"We are all family, so you don't have to be polite, uncle!" Yan Xiaohu responded with a smile.

Zhou Qing also nodded, then looked at Shi Zhen and said, "Senior Sister, we'll be leaving first. We have something important to discuss with Master."

Shi Zhen responded softly with "hmm".

It was the eldest senior brother Guimao who saved her once before, and when they went out to look for the missing disciples of Qingyu Xianzong, it was Zhou Qing who first recognized her.

Afterwards, they generously gave him the Infant-forming Pill. Now, the two brothers risked their lives again to rescue him. Shi Zhen felt that he would never be able to repay this kindness.

Not long after, Mo Xingjian also looked solemn after looking at the image stone in his hand.

It turns out that these puppets were made using such inhumane methods.

If that magic array can be continuously refined, doesn't it mean that the Cang Yan Dao Palace will soon be able to form a puppet army that can defeat three enemies at once?
This is a catastrophic disaster for other sects.

"Is this Song Yuan's Nascent Soul?" Mo Xingjian's face was full of disbelief when he heard the second piece of news.

The sect had previously collected some intelligence about the five geniuses. Song Yuan had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, and had even killed a Perfection-level expert. He was truly gifted.

It's just that his cultivation path has been too smooth in the past few decades, which has led to his personality being somewhat arrogant and unruly.

But now, looking at the Nascent Soul that Zhou Qing took out, Mo Xingjian still felt like he was dreaming.

Zhou Qing just nodded slightly and said, "It was just luck."

When Mo Xingjian heard this, his face twitched slightly. You call this luck?

Didn’t you see that Song Yuan’s Nascent Soul rolled its eyes in anger, and seemed to be cursing something?

But soon, an expression of relief and pride appeared on his face.

His disciple, who has attained the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, is meticulous and powerful in combat. He has now begun to show his potential on the road to becoming a strong man. How can he not feel proud?

"Well done!" Mo Xingjian couldn't help but praise.

When Yan Xiaohu heard this, he quickly said, "There's me too."

"What are your battle achievements?" Mo Xingjian asked.

Yan Xiaohu immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Those minions are all mine..."

Just as he said this, he suddenly seemed to realize something and frowned.

That’s not right. Why do I feel like I didn’t do anything this time, but was seriously injured instead?

Zhou Qing smiled upon seeing this, and quickly put his arm around Yan Xiaohu's shoulders, explaining to Mo Xingjian, "Song Yuan's death was entirely thanks to Third Senior Brother covering for me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to kill him by surprise. Afterwards, Third Senior Brother also fought tooth and nail to hold Xue Gu back, buying me some time."

After hearing Zhou Qing's words, Yan Xiaohu was immediately moved to tears, and looked at Zhou Qing with eyes full of gratitude.

I said that I definitely made a contribution, but I just didn’t realize what I had done specifically.

"And Meng Xing, one of the five great geniuses, was also killed by us!" Soon, Yan Xiaohu, who had just straightened his chest, seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly said.

Mo Xingjian was stunned when he heard this, but then he realized what was happening and asked in shock, "Did you kill Meng Xing too?"

I had only heard that Meng Xing died in the Qingyu Immortal Sect, but I didn't know who did it.

"You did it?" Mo Xingjian asked again in shock.

Calculating the time, it seems to be the last time they went to Qingyu Immortal Sect without permission.

Yan Xiaohu quickly shook his head: "It wasn't me, it was Lao Si who did it. I was responsible for dealing with those minions at the time..."

As soon as he said this, Yan Xiaohu suddenly seemed to realize something, turned around silently and wiped his tears.

Is my brain damaged recently?

Why make yourself so embarrassed?
Seeing this, Zhou Qing quickly came to the rescue and said, "If Third Senior Brother hadn't held the others back, I wouldn't have been able to kill Meng Xing so easily..."

Mo Xingjian waved his hand. "I understand. I understand. This is how brothers should cooperate with each other. Fine, you two should go and rest. I have to quickly deliver this image stone and puppet to the headmaster. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

After saying that, Mo Xingjian left in a hurry.

Yan Xiaohu sniffed, and suddenly a strong sense of frustration surged in his heart.

Taking the initiative twice in exchange for a lifetime of introversion!

Zhou Qing didn't know how to comfort him for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are still three of the Five Great Prodigies left. I'll give them all to you when the time comes."

"Forget it, they are all at the Nascent Soul stage," Yan Xiaohu said with a depressed look on his face, and left without looking back.

Zhou Qing could only smile bitterly and shook his head, then took the old hen back to his residence...

A few days later, the image stone images taken by Zhou Qing were circulated wildly among countless sects in the Eastern Region.

Anyone who saw the contents of the image stone felt a chill down their spines.

For such unscrupulous people, once they take control of the other major sects in the future, won’t they become lambs to be slaughtered?

After all, no matter how submissive they are, they are not as obedient as puppets who don't ask for any benefits.

All of a sudden, many people began to secretly contact the three major sects, expressing their willingness to surrender and provide help at the right time.

Of course, there are also some people who are frightened by the content of the image stone and dare not take sides easily.

Some people even began to evacuate the Eastern Region and move towards Lingyun Mansion, not for anything else but to seek safety.

In the face of various doubts and condemnations from the outside world, the Cang Yan Taoist Palace has never explained a word to outsiders from beginning to end.

He looked as if he didn't care at all about what others thought. Such an attitude made other sects even more wary of him.

At the same time, in order to deal with possible dangerous situations, the Qingyu Immortal Sect and the Jinlei Sect spent a huge amount of money to obtain three sets of small teleportation arrays from the Wanxiang Auction House in Lingyun Mansion.

This small teleportation array is not like the large teleportation array in Lingyun Prefecture that can carry out large-scale teleportation to other prefectures or counties. It can only teleport five or six people at a time.

After the two sects communicated with Taiqing Sect, they built these three small teleportation arrays.

The three sects are connected to each other through this teleportation array, presenting a three-legged tripod state. In this way, once a situation occurs, they can support each other at any time and cope with the huge pressure brought by the puppets of Cang Yan Dao Palace.

The person responsible for delivering and installing these three small teleportation arrays was none other than our old acquaintance Fu Kui.

After all, these three items are very valuable and require a full 150 top-grade spirit stones, which has already met the escort conditions of the auction. We dare not be careless at all.

After Fu Kui helped install the teleportation array, he wanted to see Zhou Qing, but learned that he was injured and in seclusion.

He had no choice but to pass the message to Yan Xiaohu, saying that Zhang Wanbao was very happy to know that Zhou Qing's cultivation had recovered. After all, since he went back last time, this kid has been looking for medicinal herbs that can repair the golden elixir.

"Senior Fu, please thank Brother Wanbao for me. When we have time, the fourth brother and I will go to see him!" Yan Xiaohu said.

Fu Kui nodded, and before leaving, he looked at Cao Zhengyang again and couldn't help but say, "Let's keep fighting among the five sects, and try not to end it too quickly."

Cao Zhengyang's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he immediately thought of the three paintings that the seventh prince Xuanyuan Yichen had sent him.

Then he bowed respectfully: "Thank you, senior!"

Only after Fu Kui left did Zhou Qing dare to come out.

After all, facing such a super powerful person who is suspected to be in the Soul-Slaying Realm, he cannot guarantee that "The Dharma Image of the Void Realm" can be concealed from the other party's detection.

"My friendship with brother Zhang Wanbao was not in vain!" Zhou Qing said with relief.

Yan Xiaohu nodded in agreement. "I just wonder if that hard-to-get tactic you gave him still works. But last time when the Four Flowers Gathered at the Top of the Mountain came, Xiao Cancan looked at that little fat guy with a face full of resentment."

Thinking of this, the two of them burst into laughter.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing looked solemn.

What exactly did Fu Kui's final instructions mean? What did he know?
In the next few days, Zhou Qing continued to study the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Classic". He was only at the small success stage now, but this duel with Song Yuan brought him an unexpected surprise.

If one could cultivate it to the level of "Silver Dragon Hand", "Silver Dragon Step" and "Cang Lei Sword Technique", the power would be absolutely extraordinary.

The best experimental subjects are the simulated wandering souls in the Shenxu Heavenly Palace.

As for Lu Yaoyao, I heard that she went out with her second senior brother He Han, and now she has achieved remarkable results and has truly grown up.

And just today, Yan Xiaohu suddenly came to Zhou Qing's residence and shouted, which scared Zhou Qing who had just gotten up to take a walk.

Then he opened the gate and saw Yan Xiaohu staring at him with a resentful look on his face.

"Why, why?" Yan Xiaohu grabbed Zhou Qing's arm and shook it hard, full of grievance and unwillingness.

The old hen at his feet looked at the big boots in front of him and started pecking at them.

"No, what's wrong?" Zhou Qing asked in confusion, not knowing what his third senior brother was up to.

Yan Xiaohu angrily handed over a jade slip and said indignantly: "This is the latest must-kill list released by Cang Yan Taoist Palace. Look, you are actually in the top ten. My goodness, there are only one hundred lists in total, and they didn't even mention me. This is too much of an insult to me, the Sword Overlord Yan Xiaohu." Zhou Qing hurriedly took it and probed his spiritual sense into it to check.

His eyes suddenly lit up and his face was full of surprise.

Because the first name on the must-kill list is the eldest brother Guimao.

[Ghost Mastiff: Chief of the Taiqing Sect's Small Spiritual Peak, he has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. He wields a black spear and is decisive in killing. He has achieved a preliminary understanding of a certain state of mind. To date, at least forty-seven Nascent Soul Realm warriors have died at his hands.]

[Reward amount: Fifteen top-grade spirit stones, plus one five-element spirit stone.]

"Senior Brother is still in the Eastern Region. I thought he had already left Lingyun Mansion." Zhou Qing said in surprise after reading the explanation above.

And he killed so many people in the Multi-Infant Realm, which is really incredible.

"Second Senior Sister!"

The one ranked second was none other than the second senior sister Luo Lingling.

[Luo Lingling: A disciple of the Taiqing Sect's Xiaoling Peak, she has reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. This woman is extremely cautious in her actions, and her weapons are bizarre and varied, making it difficult to defend against them.]

[He seems to have grasped a certain state of mind. Currently, at least forty-three people in the Nascent Soul stage have died at his hands.]

[Reward amount: thirteen top-grade spirit stones, plus one five-element spirit stone.]

It seems that this chaos among the five sects may really be an opportunity for them, and they may even be able to use it to enter the Spirit Transformation Realm ahead of time.

Continuing to look down, some geniuses from the Jinlei Sect and Qingyu Xianzong appeared behind him, and in the ninth position, Zhou Qing even saw Li Daoxuan's name.

After obtaining a large amount of Flame Spirit Blood Ointment, Li Daoxuan left alone during his retreat to reach the Nascent Soul stage. After he went out to comprehend his own state of mind, no news came back.

Unexpectedly, there are as many as fifteen Yuanying realm cultivators who died at his hands. It seems that he has gained a lot from this trip.

Afterwards, when Zhou Qing's eyes fell on the tenth place, he was stunned.

Zhou Qing: A disciple of the Taiqing Sect's Xiaoling Peak. He is suspected to be in the late Jindan realm, but his combat power is extraordinary. He possesses at least some secret technique that can quickly elevate him to the early Yuanying realm. He is also adept at using poison, loves to sneak around, and has an extremely cunning personality.

[Song Yuan and Meng Xing, two of the five great prodigies of Cang Yan Dao Palace, both died at his hands.]

[Reward amount: Two top-grade spirit stones.]

Looking at the introduction about himself, Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

We are all disciples of Xiaoling Peak, but the eldest brother is decisive in killing and the second sister is steady in her actions. Why is it that when it comes to me, the description becomes cunning?
The difference in personality traits is too clear.

Are you also good at using poison?

It was obvious that this was the report from Xue Gu who escaped from Youhuang City.

Also, many people saw Song Yuan being killed by me. That guy even shouted his name in public for the sake of face, so it was normal for this matter to spread.

But how did they know that they were responsible for Meng Xing's death?
You know, even Senior Sister Yuan Ya of Qingyu Immortal Sect thought it was done by the dead Li Si.

I have only told my master about this matter.

Yan Xiaohu looked frustrated and complained angrily.

"See? You're ranked tenth! The bounty is two top-grade spirit stones. You've killed two of the five future geniuses who will reach the Spiritual Transformation Realm. Of the four core disciples in our Little Spiritual Peak, three are in the top ten."

"But what about me? I'm not even in the top 100, let alone the top 100. Even old hens are on the list. Am I not as good as a chicken? That time when we went out with Master, I also killed several Yuanying realm cultivators. It's not fair, not fair at all."

Yan Xiaohu protested dissatisfiedly.

"It seems they only count what they know. Third Brother, this is the must-kill list, shown to the thousands of sects in the entire Eastern Region. Do you think this is an honor?"

"If an old monster in the Spiritual Transformation Realm comes out and sees this list, and secretly kills a few of the people on it, he can easily get dozens of top-grade spirit stones."

Zhou Qing said with a worried look on his face
Once this list is released, everyone on it will have to be careful.

But it also shows that the Cang Yan Dao Palace is really angry. After all, none of the top nine are not in the Nascent Soul stage.

Including those who were ranked behind him, they were all at the Nascent Soul stage.

In the eyes of the outside world, he was just a Jindan realm, but he was placed in the tenth position like a conspicuous bag, and the key point was that the reward amount was so generous.

Which one do you think outsiders would choose first after getting this list?
"I don't care. Heroes emerge in troubled times. You are all famous now. I, the Sword Master Yan Xiaohu, also want to be famous in the Eastern Region." Yan Xiaohu was still unwilling and said with his neck stiff.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly and jokingly said, "That's so easy. There are only three of the five great geniuses of Cang Yan Dao Palace left. I only killed the last two and I'm already ranked tenth. If the remaining three were to die at your hands, you would definitely be able to break into the top three."

Yan Xiaohu: “…”

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

Zhou Qing looked at the list again and said, "Even if the Cang Yan Dao Palace and the Tian Ji Sect were combined, there wouldn't be that many Yuan Ying realm cultivators. It seems they are including those humanoid puppets."

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

[Heart Judgment Points +9]

…………

The next moment, Zhou Qing began to hear the system's notification sound continuously, until it stopped after eight consecutive sounds.

Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at his third senior brother. The note above his head had not changed at all.

Then, looking at the list in his hand, he smiled bitterly and seemed to understand something.

It seems that except for the second uncle, all the others he is bound to have seen this list.

With a thought, the personal panel appeared.

[Name: Zhou Qing]

Age: 22

[Cultivation: Early Nascent Soul Stage]

[Heart Method: Yin-Yang Secret]

【Talent Skills: Daily Review,

Heart's Vision——LV4（211/400）

Reduced Presence——LV4 (11/100)]

[Skill Fragments: 2/3 (Unobtainable)]

There are still two spots left for the talent skill [Mind's Vision], and I didn't expect it would be halfway filled so quickly.

It seems that new skill fragments can only be obtained from [Reduce Presence].

At this moment, a figure came, and it was Master Mo Xingjian.

As expected, the original title above his head, "A brilliant disciple", has become "A promising disciple".

"Come on, come on, Master is treating us at Yushantang today!" Mo Xingjian laughed heartily, his face full of smiles.

Among the top ten on the must-kill list, three are his apprentices. How can he not be happy?

Now he just wanted to show off and let everyone see how outstanding his apprentice, Mo Xingjian, was.

"No!" Yan Xiaohu refused immediately.

Mo Xingjian glanced at him and said deliberately, "I didn't ask you."

Yan Xiaohu: “…”

"Oh, you're trying to provoke me, right? You don't let me go, but I'll go anyway, and I want to order the most expensive one!" Yan Xiaohu said immediately.

Zhou Qing then asked, "Master, what about Meng Xing..."

Mo Xingjian felt a little embarrassed and said, "Oh, I just mentioned it to your head teacher, but I didn't expect him to spread it out. It's all my fault..."

"But this doesn't match the time it took for my cultivation to recover," Zhou Qing said hurriedly.

Mo Xingjian waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. I've already explained to the headmaster that we encountered the ruins in advance. Since you've recovered, you've been keeping a low profile. They didn't think much of it."

Well, since the master said so, Zhou Qing didn’t say anything more.

Afterwards, the three of them went straight to the Jade Kitchen.

As expected, when many people saw Zhou Qing, their eyes were full of admiration and worship.

The five geniuses of Cang Yan Taoist Palace are all famous figures. Zhou Qing was able to kill two of them with his cultivation in the Golden Core Realm. Such a record is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

What kind of cunning is described above?
I bother!

Without being cunning, how can the gap in cultivation between the two be made up?

When a Yuanying realm person kills a Jindan realm person, it is like crushing an ant. But when a Jindan realm person uses some clever methods to kill a Yuanying realm person, he is said to be unscrupulous and cunning?

If anyone is to blame, it can only be the so-called geniuses cultivated by the Cang Yan Taoist Palace. They are simple-minded, strong-limbed, and inferior in skills to others.

"Brother Zhou, well done."

"Junior Brother Zhou, I'm leaving tomorrow. Could you please write me a blessing message or sign your name?"

"The private room is full today, and we just don't feel like eating anymore. Please come in."

…………

Everyone's face was full of enthusiasm and politeness.

Mo Xingjian walked in front, his face flushed with pride, almost overflowing with pride.

Zhou Qing, who was walking in the middle, looked embarrassed and even a little ashamed.

Yan Xiaohu, who was walking behind, had a droopy face and felt extremely depressed. He felt like the green leaves that set off the red flowers, with no sense of existence at all.

Things change over time. Just wait and see. It won’t be long before you will hear how I, the Sword Master Yan Xiaohu, frightened those people in the Cang Yan Taoist Palace.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiaohu's eyes couldn't help but flash with a crazy light, and it seemed that he had already come up with some bold plan.
