The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 182: Damn…Master (6k)

Immediately afterwards, the four sect leaders left one after another.

They had no objection to Cao Zhengyang choosing to stay for another day.

Now that the Nine Nether Demon Lotus is placed here, not to mention the supreme elders of their two families, I guess the people from the Golden Thunder Sect and the Green Feather Immortal Sect would not want anyone to touch it.

Although the probability is only 20%, the Soul-Severing Realm is too tempting.

For this opportunity, anyone who stands in the way will be killed!
Zhou Qing waited until the early morning. After the new [Daily Appraisal] was refreshed, he chose appraisal again.

[Ordinary soil: This is ordinary soil, nothing special, but underneath it, buried is a broken five-colored array disk, and also an extremely rare and peerless divine medicine.]

After seeing the new information, Zhou Qing was a little disappointed. It seemed that he would not receive any other useful information.

"Uncle Master, let's go!" Zhou Qing said.

Cao Zhengyang nodded and stood up.

Duanmu Shu looked at the two of them and said, "Be careful when you go back."

The two nodded. Zhou Qing looked at the concerned eyes of several ancestors in the sect, but suddenly sent a message to Duanmu Shu.

Duanmu Shu was puzzled, but she still stood up and followed Zhou Qing's instructions: "I'll see you off."

Then the three of them left.

"Zhou Qing, you asked me to follow you here specially. What exactly do you want to say?" Duanmu Shu couldn't help asking after they were away for a distance.

Zhou Qing looked at the night sky and said solemnly, "Grand Elder, what I am about to say is extremely important. Can you please keep it secret?"

Duanmu Shu glanced at Cao Zhengyang.

Cao Zhengyang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

He could train and guide Zhou Qing, but he could not influence any of his words or decisions, so he didn't ask any more questions when he wanted to stay for another day.

Duanmu Shu had no choice but to nod, and suddenly a large cauldron appeared, directly covering the three of them.

"This is a separate space. Others can't see or hear you here. Just say whatever you want to say." Duanmu Shu said.

Zhou Qing nodded, then looked at the two of them and said, "Grand Elder, Uncle Master, there's another Level 4 restriction hidden within that buried [Demon Sealing and Strangling Formation]. When that happens, everyone within the formation will be wiped out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two men's expressions changed immediately.

Cao Zhengyang immediately asked, "How did you know?"

Duanmu Shu also looked at Zhou Qing with a serious expression.

Zhou Qing had no choice but to lie: "I saw it."

"You figured it out?" Cao Zhengyang was stunned, then quickly laughed.

You almost gave us a scare, kid.

[Demon Sealing and Strangling Formation] is a five-color restriction, and they also learned about it from ancient books. It only targets the demon race with demonic power, and the human race will not be affected by it.

You said there is a four-color ban hidden inside?
This is simply impossible. So many supreme elders saw it with their own eyes. Don’t they have this kind of vision?
Duanmu Shu also said: "I know what you are worried about. We also understand that this is courting disaster, but some things are indeed worth the risk..."

Before Duanmu Shu finished speaking, she saw white marks beginning to condense around Zhou Qing's body.

The mark was crystal clear and white, like the first snow, emitting a soft yet unique light.

The two of them stood there in a daze, their eyes full of disbelief.

Cao Zhengyang's eyes widened. He took a big step forward and leaned forward, almost sticking to Zhou Qing, looking at him carefully without blinking.

After a long moment, Cao Zhengyang took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Yes, this really is the spiritual seal of the formation master!"

Looking at the twenty spiritual seals, Duanmu Shu's eyes were filled with amazement and surprise, and she quickly asked, "Level 1 Formation Master, you are actually a Level 1 Formation Master?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "To the Grand Elder, Uncle Master, I once had an opportunity and luckily became a first-level formation master."

After hearing this, Cao Zhengyang burst into laughter.

God has been so kind to my Taiqing Sect that he quietly gifted them with an extremely rare formation master.

In the Haomiao Mansion under the jurisdiction of Longyuan County, which is also the mansion where Ke Shu, who came with a portrait and was looking for a red token last time, lives, there is a white jade Taixu Courtyard, where there is a highly respected second-level formation master.

In that area, Old Lin is well-known. Even if the princess asks him to do something, she has to be respectful and polite.

He once secretly visited the master with one of the black-clothed puppets of the Cang Yan Taoist Palace, hoping to find a way to break the spell.

Unfortunately, the master didn't figure out anything and had to return home with regret.

And now, Zhou Qing has actually condensed twenty spirit seals, which is a significant symbol of his mastery of formation techniques.

Moreover, he is still so young and has unlimited potential. As long as he is given enough time to grow, with the talent he has shown, it is not a pipe dream for him to successfully comprehend 200 spiritual seals and be promoted to a second-level formation master in the future.

By then, this child will be as famous as Old Lin in Lingyun Mansion.

Seeing the two people unable to hide their excitement, Zhou Qing smiled helplessly.

After all, Lu Yaoyao is probably the only one who knows that she has become a formation master. Even her master and the others are still unaware of it.

The reason why he exposed this secret was, on the one hand, to make the masters pay attention to what he said.

On the other hand, as the formation flags in his hands are refined, some things cannot be hidden for long.

But soon, Duanmu Shu seemed to have thought of something, and she couldn't help but put away her smile. She looked at Zhou Qing with a serious expression and said, "Are you sure there is a four-color forbidden killing move hidden in it?"

Zhou Qing nodded and said firmly, "Although I am only a first-level formation master, I can still find some clues."

Cao Zhengyang also put away his smile, snorted coldly, and said, "This Sikong Yan is planning to take advantage of this opportunity to catch us all in one fell swoop and eat all the lotus seeds for himself. He is truly despicable."

The three alliances have contributed both manpower and effort to this plan, expending a great deal of resources and energy, but in the end they may end up dead, while others will reap the benefits.

Isn't he afraid that he will leave a message for his disciples, and if he dies, it will directly expose the Nine Nether Demonic Lotus on his body?
By then, even if it is fabricated out of thin air, a large number of people will come to investigate, even including the current emperor.

"What does he want to do?" Cao Zhengyang said in a low voice.

Duanmu Shu also frowned, her eyes full of worry.

No wonder when setting up the array's center a few days ago, Sikong Yan suggested that everyone must swear an oath to the heavens and enter to slay the monsters. They cannot just stand by and watch, conserve their strength and wait to get the lotus seeds.

After all, the formation is only auxiliary, and even most of the power is used to collect and refine the essence of monsters, and then catalyze the Nine Nether Demon Lotus.

"Perhaps he wants to use this beast tide to completely eliminate potential threats like us. Once we're both injured in a battle with the monsters in the formation, he'll quietly activate that terrifying four-color killing formation. The consequences are unimaginable."

Although Duanmu Shu's voice was steady, the chill in it made people shudder.

Cao Zhengyang nodded and agreed, "This Sikong Yan has always been deep-minded and ruthless, using any means necessary to achieve his goals. This time, I thought he really wanted to unite with us to face the outside world. Now, it's really ridiculous."

Zhou Qing couldn't help but say, "Master, he's planning to end the Five Sects War early."

Cao Zhengyang said angrily, "Hou Shan and his group of brainless idiots showed up midway, creating a new variable. He was about to take this opportunity to kill the spirit, but he still cares about these things?"

"I even suspect that once they succeed this time, they might easily abandon the entire Cang Yan Dao Palace."

"Then find a secret place to retreat. As long as he successfully ascends to the Soul Severing Realm, he can easily build a brand new Cang Yan Dao Palace. Forget the small Lingyun Mansion. If he wants an entire county, I'm afraid the Emperor will give it to him!"

After hearing what Cao Zhengyang said, Zhou Qing was thoughtful. With Sikong Yan's scheming and means, maybe this guy could really do such a thing.

After cursing, the three fell into silence.

They all frowned, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

The Taiqing Sect only has one three-color restriction. When they rescued the Qingyu Immortal Sect, they took all their core disciples and true disciples and went against the trend to launch an attack on the Cangyan Taoist Palace.

Therefore, they knew its power better than anyone else, but even so, ten times the power was not as powerful as a four-color restriction.

Then there is only one way, just choose not to go in when the time comes.

But, is it just a matter of emptying the entire sect’s savings?

What reason?
What do the Jinlei Sect and Qingyu Xianzong think?
Now go tell them that I, Zong Zhouqing, a one-color formation master, have figured out that they have hidden a four-color killing formation in there?
How credible do you think it is?
The moment the Nine Nether Demon Lotus appeared, the so-called alliance of the three sects had actually collapsed.

The war between the five sects and the threat of the demon king, all became insignificant in the face of the hope of beheading the soul.

Especially for the supreme elders like them whose lifespan is almost over, they regard breaking through the Soul-Severing Realm as the last straw to save their lives.

"Uncle Master..." Cao Zhengyang spoke anxiously, but for a moment, he didn't know what good solution he had.

Duanmu Shu also shook her head helplessly. The situation seemed to be in a desperate situation.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask, "Can we build a small teleportation array?"

Duanmu Shu smiled bitterly: "According to the normal plan, all of our senior leaders, including countless Jindan Yuanying realm masters, will enter and kill the monsters. When the time is right, they will activate the four-color killing formation."

"But since they are confident that they can kill all of us and take the Nine Nether Lotus Seeds for themselves, it shows that the four-color restriction has absolute power and has taken all possibilities into consideration."

Cao Zhengyang deeply agreed that the other party's plan was far-reaching and difficult to guard against.

Then you can only choose not to go in.

But if this is the case, once the other party is promoted to the Soul-Slaying Level in the future, the Taiqing Sect will still be doomed to be destroyed.

But since the other party has no intention of sharing the Nine Nether Lotus Seeds, even if they go in and survive to the end, how can they guarantee that the other party will give it to them?

Once the Nine Nether Demon Lotus matures, there are only a few lotus seeds. There are several people in the Cang Yan Taoist Palace who have reached the perfect state of transformation. If everyone takes three at most, the number is estimated to be far from enough.

The next moment, they both looked at Zhou Qing, their eyes full of anticipation, and suddenly asked, "Zhou Qing, do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhou Qing was stunned. He was just a junior. What could he do in the game between these bigwigs?
However, seeing the two people's inquiring eyes, Zhou Qing thought for a moment and then asked a question, "Do you think the Tianji Sect knows about this?"

The two were stunned, and their eyes lit up instantly.

The Tianji Sect was the weakest of the five sects and could even be considered a lackey of the Cang Yan Dao Palace. Since the Cang Yan Dao Palace wanted to keep the seeds for themselves, they probably wouldn't even consider giving them the remaining 20% ​​of the lotus seeds.

However, the layout of the entire Canglan Mountain and the placement of the final array center were all under the full control of the Tianji Sect, and it was impossible for them to fail to discover the four-color restriction.

"If I were the Tianji Sect, knowing that this would completely eradicate the Three Sects Alliance, I would definitely be worried about whether the Cang Yan Dao Palace would turn against me. But I still chose to cooperate. Then there is only one possibility!"

Cao Zhengyang talked to himself, his eyes shining.

Duanmu Shu continued, "The Tianji Sect possesses something that even the Cang Yan Dao Palace fears, so they are so fearless and even chose to seek the skin of the tiger from the very beginning."

Thinking of this, Duanmu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

The game is broken!
By then, all five sects will surely enter and participate in the strangulation. As long as they keep close to the people of Tianji Sect, or even kill them, they will definitely find a way to leave.

Only when a certain level of strength is maintained will we be qualified to sit at the negotiation table and discuss distribution with them.

……

Duanmu Shu went back and had to hurry to communicate with the other people so that everyone could prepare in advance.

On this side, Cao Zhengyang and Zhou Qing also returned to the base smoothly.

The moment he sat down, Zhou Qing suddenly realized something: what if the Cang Yan Taoist Palace also took the Tian Ji Sect into account?
Given the Cang Yan Dao Palace's style of doing things, if someone really threatens them, it would be better to eradicate them completely.

But in order not to arouse suspicion, they had to make the Tianji Sect think that they were sure to win, and thus dispel their suspicions.

"We still can't put all our hopes on them!" Zhou Qing quickly made a decision.

Then he slowly took out the jade slip that No. 6 left for him, as if thinking about something.

By then, even if a gap can be opened, the entire Taiqing Sect's vitality can be preserved.

He would never allow anyone to destroy this big family.

As time went by, the entire Canglan Mountain was already filled with demonic energy, but the five major sects were still concentrating on finding medicine, and seemed to have not noticed the abnormal situation over there at all.

Until this day, Zhou Qingxin opened his eyes with a sense of realization, and saw Mo Xingjian standing with his back to him, looking at him kindly with his hands on his face.

Zhou Qing was startled, then stood up in surprise and ran over to ask, "Master, are you out of seclusion?"

Mo Xingjian's face was full of emotion.

He didn't expect that during a retreat, this guy would cause such a big trouble.

Li Hanshan and Yu Ziqi, two of the five great geniuses, were all defeated by him.

He still underestimated the growth of Sihua Juding.

amazing!!!
Zhou Qingze looked very happy and asked tentatively, "Master, have you made a breakthrough?"

Mo Xingjian shook his head: "I'm still a little short of it. I lack an opportunity. Plus, the sect is facing a life-or-death situation, so I have no choice but to come out of seclusion."

After hearing what Mo Xingjian said, Zhou Qing immediately understood that it was the head teacher who forcibly woke up his master.

"When did you become a first-level formation master?" Mo Xingjian asked.

Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "I went to Lingku Mountain and got some luck there, and was promoted by chance."

Mo Xingjian felt relieved. He didn't want to ask for details, but he had to admit that this child had good luck.

Otherwise, I would have fallen into the trap of Cang Yan Taoist Palace this time.

The next moment, Cao Zhengyang walked in and nodded to Mo Xingjian, saying everything without words.

Zhou Qing said: "Are you ready?"

Cao Zhengyang nodded and said, "The number of demons gathered in Canglan Mountain has already exceeded millions. Just now, a large number of disciples from the five sects were slaughtered by those uncontrollable demons. Now, we have a legitimate reason to fight."

Zhou Qing sighed and said, "Uncle Master, have you informed the Golden Thunder Sect and the Green Feather Immortal Sect about the fourth-level restriction?"

Cao Zhengyang looked at Zhou Qing quietly, then stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don't go in then!"

Looking at Cao Zhengyang's eyes, Zhou Qing already understood.

He had nothing to say about this.

But he had made up his mind and had to go in.

Cao Zhengyang looked helpless and sighed heavily. He then turned his gaze to Mo Xingjian and said with a wry smile, "Well, I told you this kid was stubborn, but you didn't believe me. I'll definitely wake you up. In the entire Taiqing Sect, he only listens to you."

Mo Xingjian smiled slightly, even a little proud.

"Is it bad to be sentimental? It's an advantage. Look at your sour look, but don't worry, he can't get in with me here!"

Cao Zhengyang nodded slightly, then turned his gaze back to Zhou Qing and said earnestly, "Zhou Qing, your future is immeasurable. It's only a matter of time before you reach the Divine Transformation stage."

"Plus, given your status as a first-level formation master, I won't let you go no matter what." He paused slightly, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, and continued, "If we can't get out, at least we've left a seed for the Taiqing Sect!"

Meeting Cao Zhengyang's eyes full of concern and hope, Zhou Qing's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Why are you fanning the flames? Don't put so much pressure on the child!" Mo Xingjian said from the side with a slightly trembling voice.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengyang couldn't help but smile slightly, then slowly turned his head and looked at Mo Xingjian, his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of words.

Then he said, "Junior brother, Gao Xuan is a trustworthy person. I will leave the sect to him for the time being."

"I know you love freedom, so I won't restrict you. If the situation isn't right, take the children and leave immediately. The farther away, the better."

Mo Xingjian nodded vigorously, his lips trembling slightly. He wanted to say something, but the sob was choked in his throat.

In the end, he only uttered two words: "Take care!"

Cao Zhengyang smiled heartily and was about to leave.

Zhou Qing hurried forward and stuffed a jade slip into his hand.

Cao Zhengyang was puzzled.

Zhou Qing whispered something, and when Cao Zhengyang heard the terrifying power of this jade slip, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This sudden surprise cleared away the haze in his heart.

"Junior Brother Mo, I take back what I said. Let's drink and chat again when we get back!"

Cao Zhengyang carefully put away the jade slip and left quickly.

"What is that?" Mo Xingjian asked curiously.

Zhou Qing exhaled lightly and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just that thing can burst out a full-strength attack of the Soul Severing Realm."

Mo Xingjian: “…”

At this time, Cao Zhengyang strode outside with a solemn expression, and a chilling and murderous aura suddenly emanated from his body.

He took a deep breath, gathered all his spiritual power, and his voice was like rolling thunder, instantly spreading to every corner of the base.

"All disciples of Taiqing Sect, listen up! The Demon King of Canglan Mountain has betrayed us and maliciously framed us, believing we stole his medicinal herbs. He has also joined forces with other Demon Kings and has assembled millions of demon beasts to launch an attack on our sect."

"Today, they have begun to slaughter our disciples wantonly. Their backstabbing behavior is chilling. Therefore, all disciples immediately end their medicine-hunting mission, gather immediately, and set off for Canglan Mountain!"

Following this order, all the disciples were stunned for a moment, and soon their faces were filled with anger. They immediately rushed out from all directions and converged towards the designated location like a tide.

Almost at the same time, those disciples outside the sect who had already learned about the situation from the messages sent by their own peak masters or senior brothers, turned into streams of light and quickly rushed back on their swords.

Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao were a little panicked and ran towards Zhou Qing immediately.

"Fourth Brother, did you hear that, damn...Master?" Yan Xiaohu, who had just run in, was stunned when he saw Mo Xingjian.

Mo Xingjian narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "What did you just say?"

Yan Xiaohu immediately ran up to him with a happy look on his face, and asked in surprise, "Master, when did you come out of seclusion? Why didn't you tell me you were here? I was scolding those demon kings."

Mo Xingjian snorted softly, then looked at Lu Yaoyao who had followed closely in and said, "The three of you stay close to me and don't run around."

Then, he walked out with his hands behind his back, looking at the densely packed disciples in the air, like a winding dragon, marching towards Canglan Mountain in a mighty manner, Mo Xingjian sighed.

Although there is formation to help, it is unknown how many of these disciples will be able to come back by then.

Hope everything goes well.

"Let's go!" Mo Xingjian said, and took Zhou Qing and others to Canglan Mountain.

Lu Yaoyao followed Zhou Qing closely, feeling a little frightened.

Although she knew that the showdown with the demon kings was inevitable, she was still a little scared when that day really came.

"Don't worry, it's okay!" Zhou Qing comforted.

…………

When the four arrived at Canglan Mountain, the entire vast mountain range had already been shrouded by the strange and majestic power of the [Demon Sealing and Killing Formation].

A huge light curtain emitting a deep glow rose from the ground, wrapping Canglan Mountain layer by layer.

Runes flickered on the light curtain, twisting and moving like nimble snakes, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

There was a deafening sound of killing inside, and the shadows of people and animals were intertwined and fighting. The strong smell of blood even spread through the light curtain, making people almost nauseous.

From time to time, powerful spiritual energy shocks out, causing ripples on the light curtain.

However, the scene inside the light curtain was not clear, and only vague outlines could be seen, as if peeping into purgatory through a layer of fog.
