You’ve planned this long—why not wait until we were fully trapped before revealing yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then you could just soul-search us—why go through all this trouble?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji’s face twisted in rage, her eyes burning with hatred, fixed on Zhou Qing as if trying to incinerate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I can’t wait—I want to chop you into pieces, one by one, so you can’t die, can’t live. You destroyed everything—I’ll make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji’s voice cracked and rasped, her murderous intent chilling the air, plunging the surroundings into icy dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sneered: “My Master said that over the past year, your silence meant only two possibilities: one, you achieved enlightenment in despair and reached the brink of Soul Transformation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The other, you were consumed by hatred—like a venomous scorpion, lurking in the dark, waiting to strike a fatal blow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, seeing you now, I must admit—I overestimated you. And you’re too impatient…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji suddenly burst into sharp, piercing laughter: “Enough talk! If you won’t speak, I’ll take it myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, two crimson star wheels appeared in her hands, gleaming with cold, lethal light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spun rapidly, a bottomless black hole opened at their centers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing snorted: “You’ll never know how I found you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the pagoda shadow behind him began to spin rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each rotation released a wave of powerful spiritual energy, rippling outward like water, flooding into the phantom figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Buddha phantoms opened their eyes—golden light shot from them like solidified arrows, blasting toward Sima Yaoji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji didn’t dare underestimate—her star wheels shot out, slicing directly into the oncoming light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But strangely—every Buddha she cut down immediately reappeared from the surroundings, rejoining the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the true, fully realized One-Color Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sixty high-grade spirit stones powered it, enough to sustain each Buddha’s resurrection at least five times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Sima Yaoji’s face changed—she slammed her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood instantly solidified into twisted runes, reeking of foul stench, clawing toward the golden Buddha light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they clashed, a deafening boom erupted, sparks flying everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu didn’t stand idle—he’d missed his chance last time; now he’d avenge Luo Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vile woman—Old Tiger’s here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu charged forward like a mad tiger, his great blade swinging with crushing force, cleaving through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji was overwhelmed—she had no choice but to split her attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen finally snapped out of her shock, fury burning in her heart—she lightly tapped the ground, her sword flashing with icy light as she joined the fray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you do to my sister? Give me back my sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, behind Zhou Qing, a much larger Suanni  phantom slowly formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive thunderballs, like falling meteorites, rained from the sky, surging with violent power toward Sima Yaoji…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, Lei Luo was frantic—his experience told him instantly what this One-Color Array was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And everyone inside was from Taiqingmen—he clearly realized Zhou Qing had deliberately excluded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there an internal conflict?” Lei Luo had no choice but to hide to the side, on guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed—now with Yan Xiao Hu and Shi Zhen aiding him, and Po Shang Feng’s bleeding wound, Sima Yaoji began to falter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember—I remember—you did this before—” Sima Yaoji staggered as she fought, cursing Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing darted swiftly among them, striking her with continuous thunderous sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, it hadn’t been this easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past year, he had perfected the Jin Wu Art and the Suanni  Art, and advanced one level as an array master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had remained stagnant, obsessed only with revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And last time, she’d used only the hastily assembled Lei Yan Shi Ling Array—barely even reached the threshold of mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power paled beside this Pagoda Array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a waste of talent,” Zhou Qing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, as Sima Yaoji grew weak, Yan Xiao Hu—who had been hiding nearby—crept up silently, then seized his chance, lunging from behind to wrap his arms around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden surge of softness made his heart race—he muttered “sinful, sinful” under his breath, yet his arms locked around her like iron clamps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry!” Yan Xiao Hu shouted to Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing rushed over—amid Sima Yaoji’s furious struggles—he pressed one finger to the back of her skull, flooding her mind with immense spiritual force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Po Shang Feng’s wound and his verbal provocation, her reactions were sluggish, her spiritual power in disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen hurried over, grabbing her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, in the mind sea, Zhou Qing saw a horrifying scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul was devouring another Nascent Soul—Pei Yan’s Nascent Soul writhed in agony, bound by unknown runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha! Too late—you’ll never get out. Even if I die, I’ll take another with me. One Luo Xue, one Pei Yan—worth it, truly worth it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji’s eyes filled with madness and ferocity as she accelerated her consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s killing intent surged, wanting to forcibly separate them, but found it impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worst outcome had finally come to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing’s furious frustration, Sima Yaoji grew even more excited and deranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shi Zhen, get out first!” After withdrawing his spiritual sense, Zhou Qing sharply turned to Shi Zhen, who was hugging her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen blinked in surprise. “I need to stay here and help you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out now!” Zhou Qing urged anxiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen gritted her teeth, dared not delay, and hurried out as Zhou Qing opened a portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s it going?” Yan Xiao Hu asked urgently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing shook his head. “She’s consuming Pei Yan’s Nascent Soul. I can’t separate them—I must risk it. Guard me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhou Qing re-entered his spiritual sense. Soon, Yan Xiao Hu noticed a four-colored flower slowly rotating above Zhou Qing’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Yan Xiao Hu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately scanned the surroundings, fearing others might see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Sima Yaoji, who had been frantically biting, turned her head again—just as she opened her mouth to mock, she froze upon seeing the spinning four-colored flower behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes widened in shock. “Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown? It’s you? How is this possible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing in this world is impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Pei Yan’s frail, sleeping Nascent Soul, Zhou Qing’s gaze hardened. He let out a cold snort, and with a thought, the light from the four-colored flower began to intertwine and coil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, it formed a tough spiritual power rope, swiftly wrapping around Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji’s eyes bulged in terror as she thrashed wildly—but under Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, all resistance was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual rope tightened, binding her tightly, slowly pulling her away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why you? Why you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji stared blankly at the four-colored flower, still unable to believe it—Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, once sought by countless fourth-tier cultivation nations, was Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had clearly been crushed into a commoner when his Golden Core was shattered years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liars! All of them liars!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Sima Yaoji was utterly heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could already foresee the future of Cangyan Dao Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All this struggle, all this fighting—it was merely sewing clothes for someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, there’s still a chance!” Soon, Sima Yaoji’s eyes turned blood-red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she died, her elder and second brothers would surely avenge her—not just them, but her Master and the Palace Lord too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No prodigy, no Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown—none of it matters if they haven’t grown strong yet. So many possibilities remain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must send word out!” Not for any other reason—because her second brother was already nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He loved her. Even when she insisted on avenging herself personally, he couldn’t bear to leave her, silently guarding her all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Sima Yaoji looked at Zhou Qing—and suddenly grew calm. She spoke softly: “Zhou Qing, you will die without a grave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her mad gaze, Zhou Qing felt a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul erupted into violent chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She abandoned the idea of dragging someone down with her—she chose self-destruction instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How?!” But then she stared in disbelief at the ropes binding her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The binding formed by the four-colored flower prevented her from even detonating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, who had been preparing to withdraw, froze—then burst into wild joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he had just discovered another heavenly function of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Angry?” Zhou Qing laughed loudly, then focused his will and intensified the pulling force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within mere breaths, a gap appeared between the two Nascent Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing thrilled—originally he’d only been testing. He hadn’t expected it to actually work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Yaoji had now completely given up struggling, muttering only: “Why? Why is heaven unjust?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately peeled her away, then formed hand seals and yanked her out of Pei Yan’s spiritual sea, sealing her instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he could have crushed her now, eliminating all future threats—but he feared others in Cangyan Dao Palace might sense it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had plotted for so long. Even Pei Yan’s body likely involved a Soul Transformation cultivator. Now that it’s finally come to this, how could others not know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Incredible! Truly incredible!” Seeing Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul extracted, Yan Xiao Hu sincerely admired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing, however, looked exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual energy and blood qi stored in the golden flower had been entirely depleted in the battle—he was the main combatant and had to end it swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get everyone out fast!” Zhou Qing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu nodded frantically. After Zhou Qing retrieved the battle flags, Shi Zhen and Lei Luo hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Pei Yan unconscious, Lei Luo was deeply confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had asked Shi Zhen repeatedly—but she refused to say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Return to the sect at maximum speed!” Yan Xiao Hu ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately picked up Pei Yan’s body and supported Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither dared ask questions—they fled swiftly under cover of night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour later, a figure, seemingly impatient, quietly approached the site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around, then landed beside the fire pit where the others had roasted meat. By moonlight, he appeared to be a man under thirty, tall and slender, radiating a chilling aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind his back was a broad sword case; its straps swayed gently with his movements, yet carried an eerie silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Ziqi—the second-ranked prodigy of Cangyan Dao Palace, a Nascent Soul Great Completion cultivator who had begun to master a certain realm of understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows furrowed as he stared at the dark forest ahead, then silently departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a furious roar shattered the silent night: “Yaoji—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As dawn broke over the east, the group wasted no time, racing toward the nearest Qingyu Immortal Sect, planning to return via the teleportation array as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Zhou Qing had regained some strength, he revealed how he had uncovered the truth—and Pei Yan’s current condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly through scent and verbal probing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately looked at Zhou Qing with shock and admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart Insight +7]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart Insight +8]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart Insight +9]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Heart Insight +9]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen’s note above her head—“Newcomer Zhou Brother”—instantly changed to “Cunning Zhou Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiao Hu’s note changed from “Useless Little Brother” to “Wants to Pluck Your Nose Hairs Little Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s face twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Senior Brother was becoming more and more deranged—he’d once wanted to pluck his own nose hairs and shove them into Zhou Qing’s nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To see if it could somehow enhance his sense of smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at the sealed Sima Yaoji in his hand—her tiny Nascent Soul’s note was now crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing his fabricated story, her note had changed from “Cannibalistic Beast” to “Beast of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But only moments later, it changed again—to “Beast with a Bird’s Nose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the group understood how dangerous their situation was—they raced back at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Qingyu Immortal Sect’s Shanmen came into view, Zhou Qing exhaled deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! Let me record this historic moment!” As Zhou Qing prepared to crush Sima Yaoji’s Nascent Soul, Yan Xiao Hu frantically pulled out a recording stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he’d seen the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, he absolutely couldn’t be left alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen, however, worried—if another sect elder was kidnapped like last time, they could use her as leverage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing stared coldly at the sealed Sima Yaoji and her hateful gaze. “Safe journey.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, lightning sword qi pierced in, utterly shredding her into specks of spiritual energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, three of the Five Prodigies now lay dead at Zhou Qing’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s return to the sect first. Pei Yan hasn’t awakened yet—only Master Bai and the others might help. And you, Shi Zhen—you’ve been close to her for half a year. You might have hidden dangers too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing said to Shi Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Zhen nodded. The group dared not delay. After reporting and verification, they used Qingyu Immortal Sect’s teleportation array to return directly to Taiqingmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Master Tong Min of Jade Clear Peak learned of this, she rushed over in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only with the aid of a Supreme Elder was Pei Yan’s Nascent Soul gradually freed from the talisman seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, she began to slowly awaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered nothing—not even when she’d been ambushed.

If so, we must return the courtesy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sect Master Cao Zhengyang was furious. He immediately dispatched three Peak Masters—including Tong Min—to launch a one-sided massacre.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Cangyan Dao Palace felt guilty and did not intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After venting, Tong Min and the others returned, knowing when to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, the news that Zhou Qing had truly slain Sima Yaoji spread rapidly across the eastern region of Lingyun Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, which sect, big or small, did not know Zhou Qing of Xiao Ling Peak, Taiqingmen—a rising prodigy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also had a senior brother, Yan Xiaohu, whose habits were deeply unsettling and who loved to dig up ancestral graves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As senior and junior brothers, one relied on wit and strength, while the other walked the path of heretical arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing then received another wave of Heart Mirror points; judging by the quantity, they must have come from Lu Yaoyao, Li Daoxuan, and Xuanjizi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please cast a monthly vote for Three Lines!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3128,"2026-06-19T20:13:53.139Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","fff3452822c0a5ab5ec18fbeff94336ae877a38b49966f3fcaf13e6cde6627c2","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-163","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-161",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
