The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 145: Cowardly, absolutely cowardly, why dig up other people's graves! (6k)

At this moment, Zhou Qing keenly noticed Lu Yaoyao's cultivation status and asked in surprise, "You have broken through to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm? That's impressive!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yaoyao immediately imitated Zhou Qing's humble attitude, spread her hands, and said, "That was just luck! It's just so-so."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but smile at her cute and naughty appearance, and was happy for her from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Zhou Qing open the door, Lu Yaoyao hurriedly picked up the old hen on the ground and followed him in.

"When I came back, I heard that Sima Yaoji, one of the five great prodigies of Cang Yan Dao Palace, said she would kill you with her own hands to avenge Meng Xing and Song Yuan. You better be careful from now on!"

After sitting down, Lu Yaoyao stroked the old hen and said to Zhou Qing worriedly.

When Zhou Qing heard this name, murderous intent instantly filled his eyes.

It was this woman who brutally killed Senior Sister Luo Xue and seriously injured Senior Brother Du Kui.

Kill me with your own hands?
When everything is almost ready, he will go find her, and then he will make her pay with blood.

Afterwards, Zhou Qing told Lu Yaoyao about Senior Sister Luo Xue. Lu Yaoyao suddenly stood up, her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.

When he and Senior Brother Zhou were searching for the missing disciples of Qingyu Xianzong, they were seriously injured by Yin Xiao. At that critical moment, it was Du Kui and Senior Sister Luo Xue who arrived in time and saved their lives.

But now, Senior Sister Luo Xue actually...

"I originally wanted to go see Senior Brother Du Kui. I heard that he is very depressed now, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so I didn't dare to disturb him." Zhou Qing sighed.

Lu Yaoyao was silent, as if she still couldn't believe that she would never see the person she knew again. She felt empty inside.

"Now the people in Cang Yan Dao Palace are also bloodthirsty. If you go out, remember to be careful!" Zhou Qing warned solemnly.

Lu Yaoyao nodded with red eyes and said, "Okay, I understand. Senior Brother Zhou, you should be careful too."

"Since we're back, let's go see Senior Sister Shi Zhen. She was also seriously injured this time, and I don't know if she has recovered." Zhou Qing suggested.

After all, within the sect, they are considered good friends.

"Senior Sister Shi Zhen is also injured?" Lu Yaoyao was shocked again.

Zhou Qing simply told him what happened in the cave that day.

Lu Yaoyao only knew that Zhou Qing killed Song Yuan in Youhuang City and took photos of the other party's inhumane deeds, but she didn't know that Senior Sister Shi Zhen was also captured at that time.

Those scenes from that day were bound to be made public. In order to protect Senior Sister Shi Zhen's reputation, Zhou Qing certainly did not take any photos of them.

After Lu Yaoyao had a brief chat with Zhou Qing, she left in a hurry and headed straight for Yuqing Peak.

After calming down, Zhou Qing began to fully practice the fourth move of "Cang Lei Sword Technique".

Now, the only way to survive in this turbulent situation is to constantly improve your own strength.

…………

Two days later, Lu Yaoyao and Shi Zhen came together.

Shi Zhen even came with some gifts to express her gratitude. The note on her head that had just been changed in the cave, "Junior Brother Zhou, whom I will repay for the rest of my life," had long been replaced by "Junior Brother Zhou, a rising star."

Zhou Qing really couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

Of course, she also prepared a portion for her third senior brother. Just as she sent them away, a familiar figure appeared outside.

Looking at the embarrassed face of Grand Elder Duanmu Shu, Zhou Qing suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!" Zhou Qing bowed respectfully.

Grand Elder Duanmu Shu looked a little embarrassed and said, "Zhou Qing, first of all, congratulations on your recovery. Um, I wonder if you're free today? Well, I really have no choice but to come to you."

"Now that the five sects are at war, if we can obtain some good things from the cave, it will also provide some help to our sect."

Zhou Qing was still very grateful to the Supreme Elder.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just say the last time, after she knew that she had started to cultivate her body, she took the initiative to open the No. 2 Flame Spirit Blood Pool and let herself soak in it, using the power of the blood pool to help her cultivate.

It was also because of that rare opportunity that he discovered the Flame Spirit Blood Ointment and the secret passage dug by the second uncle under the blood pool, which gave him enough spiritual power to support him and break through the Nascent Soul in one fell swoop, and even achieve the Four Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

There are also the "Silver Dragon Hand" and "Cang Lei Sword Technique" which have become his trump cards.

Zhou Qing immediately bowed and said, "Disciple, I will do my best!"

He did not refuse. If he was ignored by the wandering soul, he would simply help the Supreme Elder open the gravity zone. Besides, the master should have told them that they needed to use the dead crow method to cross the river.

If there were any wandering souls, a full-strength attack from the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Classic" would be enough for him to retreat.

I guess the Supreme Elder won’t look for him again after this.

It all depends on God’s will!

When Grand Elder Duanmu Shu heard that Zhou Qing had agreed, he was immediately excited, his face full of relief and gratitude.

Now that Zhou Qing is in the late Jindan realm, the danger he faces when encountering wandering souls should be even greater.

In this situation, Zhou Qing was able to agree to help so readily. He is truly a kind-hearted child who cares about the overall situation.

Not long after, when Zhou Qing came to the cave again, there were seven supreme elders standing behind him.

Now that they finally have a chance to get in, they don't want to miss this opportunity. They all look at Zhou Qing eagerly, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Be careful!" The supreme elders warned with concern.

Zhou Qing nodded, then breathed a sigh of relief. After entering the bronze door, he had just stepped into the gravity zone when the creepy feeling of being watched suddenly appeared, and a familiar whistling sound came from the front.

Zhou Qing sighed.

After all, in the simulation environment, he couldn't even hold on to the second wave before being torn to pieces by many Yuanying realm wandering souls.

boom!
When Zhou Qing saw twenty Nascent Soul Realm wandering souls roaring and rushing towards him, he did not dare to hesitate at all. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something.

In an instant, a golden crow, emitting dazzling golden flames all over its body, rushed straight forward.

Suddenly, roars and screams intertwined and resounded throughout the gravity zone.

Zhou Qing, who was exhausted, turned pale and took the opportunity to turn around and run away.

After stumbling out, Zhou Qing met everyone's gazes and saluted with a guilty look on his face: "Grand Elders, I have disappointed you!"

…………

Zhou Qing, who returned to Xiaoling Peak, was a little confused for a moment.

He could actually tell the Supreme Elder everything about the passage, even the manipulation techniques of the Five-Colored Altar.

At worst, we can put the blame on Second Uncle. Anyway, those messages in the passage were left by Second Uncle for the Supreme Elders and others to discover.

But the problem is that the six coffins in the passage are very dangerous. Even the second uncle doesn't dare to open them easily, and he even went out to study the skills of prohibition.

Take the third coffin for example. Inside it is sealed a crocodile king at the Soul-Severing Realm. Who do you think can handle it?
If we accidentally release it, the consequences will be unimaginable. The entire Taiqing Sect will probably cease to exist under its ravages.

If the supreme elders rush in, they will be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

As for the other five coffins, there is no need to even think about it. You don’t even need to guess to know that the level of danger inside is definitely not low.

Moreover, at this critical juncture of the war among the five sects, every supreme elder is the spiritual pillar of everyone in the entire sect and cannot be lost at all.

If any of the supreme elders met with misfortune because of this passage, I would feel so guilty that I would die.

Even if we take a step back, even if the Supreme Elders discovered a passage that could bypass the gravity zone and lead directly to the restricted area, what do you think they would do first?
We must first erase the memory of those who know this secret. After all, this matter is too serious and we cannot have any hope of success.

Especially since such a secret was known by a disciple at the "Golden Core Realm".

Moreover, this "Golden Core Realm" disciple is now on the Cang Yan Taoist Palace's must-kill list.

Once caught, there is no way to escape torture and soul-searching, and the consequences are unimaginable.

Of course, if you think about the better scenario, even if the Supreme Elders just took away the Five-Color Altar, it would not be a good thing for him.

I was also thinking of going into the restricted area to look for good things through the Shenxu Heavenly Palace simulation.

Moreover, when the second uncle comes back from further studies and suddenly finds that the altar is gone, won’t he be confused?
After all, the two of them get along pretty well now, and they are both teachers and friends. If there is anything beneficial, the second uncle will take me with him.

He eats the meat, and you can drink the soup by following behind.

Just like the top-grade fire-attribute spirit stone obtained this time, and the "Golden Crow Burning Sky Classic", they are the best proof.

After thinking through the pros and cons, Zhou Qing's sense of guilt was alleviated a little. He then calmed down and began to concentrate on studying the fourth move of "Cang Lei Sword Technique".

…………

Soon after, urgent messages spread rapidly to the three major alliances.

The large number of humanoid puppets owned by the Cang Yan Taoist Palace are frantically attacking the various mines of the three sects.

The personnel stationed at the mine were defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Urgent calls for help came from all over the country, and the situation was extremely critical.

After receiving the sect's order, each disciple did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately rushed to the scene to provide support.

After the three sects communicated with each other, they also began to counterattack in kind, organizing people to attack the mine where the Cang Yan Taoist Palace was located.

For a time, the war between the five major sects escalated comprehensively, and the entire Eastern Region was shrouded in this tense situation.

A few days later, late one night, Yan Xiaohu stood quietly not far away, gazing at Mo Xingjian's residence with a determined look on his face. He knelt and bowed before quietly departing. This time, what he was about to do would surely make Yan Xiaohu, the Blade Tyrant, famous throughout the Eastern Region.

The next day, when Zhou Qing received the news from Mo Xingjian, he was stunned and immediately sent a message to his third senior brother.

But due to the distance, no response was received.

"You're already in the Nascent Soul stage, why do you still act like a child!" Zhou Qing frowned and said helplessly.

Now even if I want to chase after him, I don’t know which direction to go, so I can only worry.

"Don't worry, don't be fooled by your third senior brother's fierce appearance. In fact, he is actually quite meticulous when it comes to doing things. There shouldn't be any big problems." Mo Xingjian comforted.

He knew Yan Xiaohu quite well and knew that although this guy looked reckless, he was sometimes quite reliable.

Zhou Qing actually agreed with this point. Now he could only hope that his trip would be safe and smooth.

"Don't run around recently. The latest news is that there are quite a few independent cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage who are planning to make money from you." Mo Xingjian warned with a serious face.

Zhou Qing understood that he would not risk going out until he had completely mastered the fourth move of the "Cang Lei Sword Technique".

But what no one expected was that a month later, Yan Xiaohu really became famous.

This idiot actually dug up the ancestral tombs of the Cang Yan Dao Palace!!!
The Cang Yan Taoist Palace has an ancestral land located in Yanyang Valley, thousands of miles away from the sect.

That should be considered their real sect, but due to the depletion of underground fire-attributed spiritual energy, it can no longer meet the sect's daily training and development needs, and the sect has to migrate.

In order not to disturb the rest of the ancestors, the ancestral cemetery has not been changed much and still maintains its original appearance. In addition, three Yuanying realm disciples and several Jindan realm disciples were specially arranged to guard it.

Anyway, it’s not too far from the sect, so if there is any emergency, they can get back in time.

However, as time went by, a new cemetery was rebuilt within the sect. After that, successive palace masters or elders were buried in the new location one after another after they passed away. As a result, few people went to the ancestral land.

This time, seeing the situation of the war between the five sects escalating, the three Yuanying realm cultivators guarding the ancestral land felt that it was too boring, and seeing the lively fighting outside, they felt itchy and impatient.

So he secretly left his ancestral land and went to hunt down the disciples of the Three Alliances, taking the opportunity to gain some benefits.

But they never expected that as soon as they left, their home was robbed by Yan Xiaohu, who had been hiding for a long time.

"If I can't defeat the living, how can I defeat the dead? Seniors of the Cang Yan Dao Palace, I am truly helpless. I am exposing you today to show you what heinous and outrageous deeds these younger generations are doing."

[But then again, I feel heartbroken for you. Almost all of your burial objects have been looted by these unworthy descendants, leaving only a solitary stone tablet standing on the desolate grave.]

[You idiots, open your eyes and take a good look! The gravedigger is none other than the sword master Yan Xiaohu!]

This is Yan Xiaohu's message, and the video stones in the cave around it are constantly playing.

In an instant, the Cang Yan Dao Palace was completely furious and suddenly sent out the people in the Spirit Transformation Realm to hunt him down, with the Tian Ji Sect also assisting and helping.

Moreover, the must-kill list was fully updated on the same day. Yan Xiaohu from Xiaoling Peak was directly ranked eighth, with a reward of four top-grade spirit stones, and the person whose name was wanted was specifically mentioned alive!
"What a coward, what a coward!" Mo Xingjian was so angry after hearing the news that he cursed and without saying a word, he left the sect in a hurry to go and support them.

It took Zhou Qing a while to come back to his senses. He was about to follow him out when the identity token brought a message from Mo Xingjian.

【Stay at home and don’t run around! 】

Zhou Qing looked at the news. Although he was extremely unhappy, he was afraid that if he went out, his master would worry even more. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree, silently praying that his third senior brother would be safe.

Today, Taiqing Sect's Xiaoling Peak has become completely famous.

Taiqing Sect alone occupies half of the top ten on the must-kill list.

Among this half, except for Li Daoxuan who ranked ninth, the first, second, eighth and tenth were all Mo Xingjian's disciples.

While Zhou Qing was anxiously waiting, he continued to deduce the fourth move of "Cang Lei Sword Technique". From time to time, he would enter Shenxu Heavenly Palace and use those wandering souls as sparring partners, making rapid progress.

Just like that, a month later, Yan Xiaohu returned in tattered clothes.

"You are awesome, you are really awesome!" As soon as they arrived at the mountain gate, Elder Wuzhu couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration and praised.

After all, after witnessing the inhumane acts committed by those people from the Cang Yan Dao Palace in the cave, no one had any good feelings towards them, and some could even say that they were extremely disgusted with them.

It can be said that Yan Xiaohu did something that everyone wanted to do but did not dare to do. Although it was a bit immoral, it should indeed let those ancestors see what the current inheritance of Cang Yan Taoist Palace has become.

It’s simply heartless!

Facing the praise from Elder Wuzhu and the admiring gazes from the other disciples around him, Yan Xiaohu put his hands on his hips, a smug look on his face, and couldn't help laughing.

But he still pretended to be humble, waving his hands repeatedly and said: "It's nothing, it's all nothing, don't worship me, I'm just a legend, hahahaha~~"

"By the way, where is your master?" Elder Wuzhu looked around quickly and asked in confusion.

Only then did Yan Xiaohu realize that his master had gone out to look for him.

"Since I dare to do this, I must have planned all the escape routes. The person in the Spirit Transformation Realm wants to attack me. Do you think I will give him a chance?" Yan Xiaohu said with confidence.

At present, the people at the Spirit Transformation Realm have not yet finished their work, and he cannot allow people at this level to come in first because of himself.

Otherwise, the disciples on the alliance side would probably suffer massive casualties.

After saying this, he excitedly rushed into the mountain gate.

After seeing the message from his third senior brother, Zhou Qing finally felt relieved.

Rushed to the Jade Kitchen...

At this moment, Yan Xiaohu placed his big knife beside the table. He exuded a strong aura of murderousness. He was ordering food with a serious face and a focused expression, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

But there were clearly extra private rooms available, yet he did not go in. Instead, he sat at the table in the middle of the lobby outside without saying a word.

Such an eye-catching scene quickly attracted the attention of many people.

"Am I seeing correctly? That's Yan Xiaohu from Xiaoling Peak?"

"Yes, it's really him. It looks like he just came back."

"Amazing, truly amazing! Digging up someone's ancestral grave doesn't do much harm, but it's extremely insulting. Fortunately, our Taiqing Sect's ancestral grave is within the sect, so we don't have to worry about others doing the same thing to us."

"However, spies are rampant now. I heard that in order to prevent them from reciprocating, the sect leader has specially strengthened the manpower at our ancestral tomb."

"Brother Yan is great! He finally helped us vent our anger."

…………

Everyone was whispering. Yan Xiaohu suppressed his inner excitement and pretended to be calm, just drinking silently.

Things change over time. When I came here last time, you only had eyes for the fourth brother. But I, Yan Xiaohu, am not weak either.

"Third Senior Brother——" At this moment, Zhou Qing hurried over and quickly sat down opposite.

Seeing him covered in blood, Zhou Qing felt sad. He really couldn't imagine what kind of pursuit and blockade his third senior brother had gone through in the past month before he could successfully return to the sect.

"Why are you doing this?" Zhou Qing sighed.

Yan Xiaohu, however, seemed nonchalant. He grinned, picked up the wine jug, poured a glass for Zhou Qing, and said with a hearty laugh, "There's nothing I can do about it. This is just my personality. Cheers!"

As he spoke, he raised his glass, gestured towards Zhou Qing, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to wish him a safe return, but he didn't know where his master was wandering at the moment.

Soon, the food was served, and as expected, all was free.

Yan Xiaohu looked at the disciple serving the food and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the hall master say anything about signing?"

"Brother Yan, the hall master is not here. He went out to look for ingredients a few days ago. However, he specifically instructed that anyone who can make it into the top 20 of the Cang Yan Dao Palace's must-kill list will get a free meal for the first time!" the disciple said respectfully.

Yan Xiaohu: “…”

Dry!
Never mind, it’s free anyway, I’ll just eat it first.

At the same time, a figure also covered in blood was flying on a sword, holding a square box tightly in his arms, with a hint of anxiety and fatigue in his eyes.

When he saw the familiar outline of Taiqing Sect, a smile of relief finally appeared on his face.

"Tan Qiang, a core disciple of Jinyang Peak, lost his storage bag and has no identity token. Elder Wuzhu, please be kind enough to help me!"

After the man fell, he was already extremely weak, and he hurriedly shouted to Elder Wuzhu who was guarding the sect gate.

In order to prevent fake people from passing themselves off as genuine, almost all returning disciples need to pass multiple verifications before they can join the sect.

Hearing the man's voice at this moment, Elder Wuzhu walked out slowly. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed.

The smile on the face of the man named Tan Qiang gradually became stiff. Then, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and blood began to flow from all seven orifices.
His eyes were filled with disbelief. He stretched out his hand, his lips trembling as he uttered a few words with difficulty: "Save, save me..."

Before he could finish his words, he fell straight down, and even his Nascent Soul didn't have time to escape. He was dead just like that.

Elder Wuzhu was shocked and subconsciously wanted to step forward, but he quickly thought of something and stopped in time. He then quickly contacted the headmaster and Jinyang Peak Master Gao Xuan.

Soon after, two figures came quickly.

Cao Zhengyang's face was filled with anger, and his expression was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. This was clearly a naked provocation.

He gave this child hope, and then let him die in despair at the sect gate. The person who did this was obviously cruel.

Gao Xuan looked at the four disciples lying on the ground, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He hurried forward, squatted down, and stretched out a hand to place it on Tan Qiang's pulse.

Soon, he frowned...
