Where’s Sima Yaoji?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing opened his mouth to speak, but felt any words now would be hollow and powerless, so he instinctively glanced behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Du Kui followed his gaze and saw the upturned, lifeless Nascent Soul, his bloodshot eyes instantly blazed with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick wave of killing intent flooded the entire hall; his breathing grew rapid and heavy, his chest heaving like a wounded, dangerously ferocious beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sima Yaoji—Sima Yaoji—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Kui’s voice was hoarse, his gaze locked on Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul; memories of his past warmth with Luo Xue stabbed like blades into his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of Luo Xue’s brutal death at Linggu Mountain replayed endlessly before his eyes like a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a worthless fool, unable to protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the intelligence not been crucial to retrieve, he would never have chosen to flee—he would have blown himself up to take her with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you—” Du Kui roared, his reason utterly consumed by hatred and remorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, Gao Xian suddenly appeared before him, pressing one finger to his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Du Kui’s body went limp, collapsing into Gao Xian’s arms; the fury and madness in his eyes gradually softened, though pain and grief still clung to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He needs an outlet, Zhou Qing—thank you for giving him this chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian looked at Zhou Qing and spoke slowly, his voice still gentle, his eyes carrying a hint of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Mirror Points +9】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the annotation above Gao Xian’s head—“Cunning Little Fox”—changed to “Tianqingmen’s Prodigy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was stunned—he never expected Gao Xian’s evaluation of him to be so high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly bowed, his face filled with reverence: “This is what this junior disciple should do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Gao Xian not gifted him the fourth form of the Canglei Sword Art, honestly, he wouldn’t have dared ambush Sima Yaoji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, had he not achieved even minor mastery from this hidden card, even if Lu Yaoyao had brought him the map of Linggu Mountain, he wouldn’t have dared leave, let alone gain so many opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took out Luo Xue’s corpse, deliberately covering it with a white cloth to preserve her dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian nodded: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Gao Xian departed, carrying the unconscious Du Kui and Luo Xue’s corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others watched this scene and sighed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu also left; the rest would be handled by the Sect Master and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao followed them out, about to speak, but Zhou Qing returned the golden talisman to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good thing we didn’t need to use it!” Zhou Qing smiled. “You’ve worked hard—rest well now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao nodded, watching Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu’s backs until they disappeared, then finally felt a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this good start, next time there’s a chance, you won’t leave me behind again, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao walked off with her hands behind her back, skipping happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lei Luo, he had already returned via Tianqingmen’s teleportation array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This journey with Yan Xiaohu to dig up one grave, then wander through Cangyan Dao Palace, plus landing on the Most Wanted List—such achievements were more than enough for him to boast about upon return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Mo Xingjian had not yet returned, but the Sect Master had already sent word to contact him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning to Xiao Ling Peak, Niu Guangmo and the others immediately gathered around, genuinely awed by Yan Xiaohu’s three grave-diggings and Zhou Qing’s three eliminations of prodigies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My dear hen—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Qing opened his room, he was stunned to find the old hen completely unharmed—only the floor tiles and wooden furniture had been almost entirely devoured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her digestive ability was unmatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing searched everywhere but found no wooden eggs or similar; he wore a sheepish expression and quickly prepared spirit stone powder to nourish her properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, while still asleep, Zhou Qing was woken by Yan Xiaohu’s loud voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, hurry, the Sect Master is calling—Cangyan Dao Palace has sent an envoy!” Yan Xiaohu exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately rose, quickly tidied himself, and rushed with Yan Xiaohu toward Shen Yue Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the council hall, core disciples and true disciples from all peaks had already gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Zhou Qing, every face bore smiles and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Younger Brother Zhou, well done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those Five Prodigies? All garbage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Zhou, from now on, you’re my role model!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaohu pulled a long face, feigning annoyance: “What, doesn’t Blade Tyrant Yan Xiaohu count?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fell into awkward silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly because none of them had the habit of digging up others’ ancestral graves—but they quickly offered praise, and Yan Xiaohu’s mood brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they entered the hall, they realized nearly all peak masters were present, including Master Mo Xingjian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked weary and dusty, as if he had just returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu, he smiled and subtly gave a thumbs-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both grinned broadly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Zhou Qing’s gaze shifted, his eyes narrowed and his smile vanished, replaced by sharp wariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the envoy from Cangyan Dao Palace was none other than Bloodbone Old Ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodbone Old Ghost, standing in the center of the hall, slowly turned to face Zhou Qing, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Zhou, we meet again!” Bloodbone sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing snorted coldly, stepping forward fearlessly to stand beside him: “Didn’t expect you’d be sent as envoy—looks like your position in Cangyan Dao Palace isn’t so great.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Bloodbone Elder’s killing intent surged; his already sinister eyes now brimmed with thick malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his seniority and contributions, even if he could never advance further, he should have enjoyed decent treatment in the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, this damned brat had ruined everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Time will tell—don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of chances!” Bloodbone hissed in threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Cao Zhengyang above, bowing slightly: “Lord Cao, have you considered my proposal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang’s expression was grim; he gestured for Zhou Qing to come forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing stepped quickly forward, puzzled, and took the memory stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his spiritual sense probed inside, his expression changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Tang Tong of Danhua Peak, Senior Sister Wu Yueqing of Bai Zhan Peak, Senior Brother Qiao Hao of Yunyin Peak, and Senior Brother Ma Zhen of Longji Peak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the vision, the four were suspended midair, drenched in blood, their qi weak—clearly tortured severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s face darkened as he looked to the Sect Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang said: “They want to exchange these four for Sima Yaoji. You risked your life to capture her—so we want to hear your opinion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, several peak masters gritted their teeth: “Zhou Qing, follow your heart—ignore everything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji, young as she was, had already reached Nascent Soul peak—she had slain one and severely wounded another of equal rank, Du Kui and Luo Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her entry into Soul Transformation is all but certain; she may even surpass it, and the harm she could cause later is unpredictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps even we peak masters will one day have to avoid her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, we have a chance to crush this threat before it grows—but—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four in the memory stone, though only Nascent Soul early to mid-stage, may have limited future potential—they are still our most beloved disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So we cannot choose, and we dare not choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deliberation, we’ve brought you here to make this decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Bloodbone smiled: “When I left, the Lord ordered that though this is an exchange, there is a time limit—each day delayed, one person is randomly executed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I arrived late due to drink, so time is short—less than three hours remain before one of them is reduced to dust, their soul shattered.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Bloodbone Old Ghost deliberately feigned regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s eyes narrowed, then he looked to Cao Zhengyang and declared, voice ringing like a bell: “Exchange. Why not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re willing to swap?” All the peak masters turned to Zhou Qing at once, even Mo Xingjian’s face showed a look of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing turned away proudly, his robes snapping in the wind, like a sovereign surveying ants as he stared at Xue Gu: “I, Zhou Qing, slew Sima Yaoji once—I can do it twice, thrice. What is there to fear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his words fell, his aura surged, a tangible pressure rolling like crashing waves toward Xue Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Including you. In war, we don’t kill envoys—but next time we meet, I’ll kill you with my own hands!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his Golden Core shattered, every senior brother and sister from the peaks had silently cared for him, visiting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the Five Sects War, members of this family had been dwindling; now that he had a chance to recover four, how could he refuse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Xue Gu’s face darkened, his killing intent spreading thickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak masters stared at that back figure, their faces flushed with excitement, hearts surging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially that overwhelming, outward aura—like tangible blades—made Cao Zhengyang’s eyes grow distant, his thoughts drifting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, he seemed to see his former self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, when he received the position of Sect Master from his Master, he had been just as spirited, promising everyone he would lead Taiqingmen to even greater glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhou Qing was a Human Foundation Establishment; though he’d gained fortune and barely entered the Nascent Soul realm, he’d likely never advance further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for killing Sima Yaoji, he’d inquired—nothing but some arrays and low-class poisons, this time merely luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one learns from misfortune; next time, tricking others won’t be so easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Heart Mirror +9】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The note above Mo Xingjian’s head—【Emerging Talent】—instantly changed to 【Majestic and Fierce Disciple】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s performance made his master feel immense pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Xian’s lips curled into a faint smile as he nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhou Qing turned again, his expression solemn, whispering to Cao Zhengyang: “Please, Uncle, erase my memory of fighting her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang was stunned, as if understanding, then nodded and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, he emerged carrying Sima Yaoji, her demeanor listless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sima Yaoji saw Xue Gu, she burst into wild laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter dripped with madness and venom; she glared fiercely at Zhou Qing and screamed: “I’ll kill you—I’ll kill you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though part of her mind was blank, she clearly remembered: Zhou Qing had reduced her to this pitiful state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing stared at her expressionlessly, slowly raising one middle finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same goes for you. You’re alive only because you’re a medicinal ingredient. Next time, you won’t be so lucky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Zhou Qing, Sima Yaoji clenched her fists tightly, eyes blazing with hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My subconscious tells me you tricked me—but there won’t be a second chance, Zhou Qing. I’ll make you wish you were dead. Wish you were dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sneered: “Not necessarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at her, Zhou Qing suddenly remembered something and immediately bound her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, only one slot remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, the 【???】 above her head changed to 【Cannibalistic Beast】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh my, you really hate me to this degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cannibalistic beast,” indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang looked at Xue Gu: “Where are our people?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Gu flicked his finger; a slip of paper flew over: “The location’s here. Only two are present. The other two will be delivered once we’re safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang glanced at the address, then tossed Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul toward them: “Dare not deceive us. If you’ve left any traps on them, tell Sikong Yan—the Soul Transformation battle starts now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xue Gu’s face changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My body—my body!” Sima Yaoji, returned to Xue Gu’s side, screamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot a terrified glance at Yan Xiao Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu froze, then understood. He pulled out a silver needle as thick as a finger and licked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little brat—I’ll make you sick to death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Sima Yaoji instinctively stepped back, quickly turning to Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That corpse was meant for Du Kui’s catharsis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, I bound you because I knew you’d return only to possess another body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now with the descriptor, I can spot you better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feed it to the dogs,” Zhou Qing said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You—” Sima Yaoji trembled with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang rose, murmuring: “I suddenly regret this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xue Gu’s face darkened; he hurriedly took Sima Yaoji and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Qing, thank you!” The four peak masters—Bai Zhan, Dan Hua, Yun Yin, and Long Ji—stepped forward to express gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing hurriedly replied: “Uncles, you’re too kind. They’re not just Taiqingmen disciples—they’re my senior brothers and sisters. How could I abandon them? This is what I must do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The peak masters stared at Zhou Qing, their gratitude beyond words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boy truly has heart and righteousness. They’d remember this debt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian stood: “Enough. Send people to retrieve them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After checking the locations, several peak masters departed at once, unsure whose disciple would return first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop licking—it’s pierced your tongue!” Mo Xingjian glared at Yan Xiao Hu, who was still licking the needle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone would think this disciple was mentally impaired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve dug up three ancestral graves, wandered into their sect, and pissed on their grounds—I don’t know whether to scold you or praise you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu grinned awkwardly and quickly tucked the needle away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian led the two back. As soon as they reached Xiao Ling Peak, he kicked each of them in the buttocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately knelt, reciting in perfect unison: “Master, we’re sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday, they’d heard the Sect Master say that since their departure, their Master hadn’t returned, fretting endlessly, running back and forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d repeatedly sent people to ask if they’d come back yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So they felt guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their contrite faces, Mo Xingjian muttered curses—but soon sighed: “You’ve grown. You’ve all grown. You no longer need me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately pulled out a box, grinning: “Master, here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the box opened, five supreme spirit stones of different colors radiated pure energy, bathing the surroundings in iridescent hues. Yan Xiao Hu’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit, where did you get these?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You planned this all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian was stunned, about to speak—Zhou Qing interrupted: “Master, you must take them. Otherwise, I can’t rest easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian looked at Zhou Qing, deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boy must’ve prepared this for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you reached the Five Flowers Summit, I gave you the Five Elements Spirit Stones—I never imagined you’d return them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing his determined face, Mo Xingjian smiled and accepted: “Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Qing beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Mo Xingjian turned to Yan Xiao Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu blinked—he had no preparation. He gritted his teeth, slapped his storage bag, and a black iron coffin appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, I dug this up from Cangyan Dao Palace’s ancestral graves.
