years ago at Lingyun Mansion, he had accidentally encountered his second junior sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had once detailed the scenario with their master guarding the junior brother in the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this advancement speed was too astonishing, even his second junior sister had broken through to mid-stage Divinity Transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Third, he had reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, and the Sect Leader's newly recruited Xiaoliu had even comprehended the rudiments of a realm, striving towards the Divinity Transformation Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How come all of you are cultivating like you're climbing a ladder to heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can feel it,\" Luo Lingling gently stroked the feathers of the old hen in her arms, gazing towards Zhou Qing meditating in the temporary cave mansion below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Taiqing Sect will soon have its own Spirit Slash great power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff stretched his freshly healed muscles, a smile appearing on his scar-riddled face: \"They say those of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown will surely enter Spirit Slash, our junior brother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly shook his head and chuckled, \"In the future, it might indeed fulfill the saying 'one person gains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are quite open-minded.\" Luo Lingling glanced at him sideways, \"Aren't you envious or jealous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff expressed speechlessly: \"The way you put it, if it were others, maybe I'd have some sour words, but since it's my junior brother, I'm just happy enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Luo Lingling leaned closer: \"What about the five of Zhao Hanyue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff's smile abruptly froze, his gaze lingering on the stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling, falling silent for a moment before heaving a long sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mock me, my relations with them... forget it, no need to bring it up, it's all in the past now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, his expression darkened, and he said softly: \"Actually, I originally planned to return to the sect after attending the auction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Years ago, I came to the Imperial City to uncover the truth behind the Five Sects War.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, with a tone of self-mockery, \"Unfortunately, due to my shallow connections and impulsiveness, I ended up killing Nangong Xiao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After creating trouble, I dared not return to the sect for fear of implicating my sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Luo Lingling sighed gently: \"Fortunately, the Five Sects War has finally settled down; the mastermind, the Fifth Prince, was slain by Sikong Yan, along with his maternal family wiped out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Mo once revealed, the real purpose of the Five Sects War was the Xuanyuan Family's attempt to establish a fully unified Cultivation Country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, he and Zhao Hanyue had speculated about such an intention many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Emperor's ambition far exceeded imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Eight Prefectures and Seventy-Two Mansions, countless sects inherited over generations, who would willingly bear an extra shackle over their heads?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there truly were unification, future sect conflicts and resource contests would be bound by the dynasty's law, even killing a person or occupying land would face sanction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But speaking of which...\" The Ghost Mastiff squinted his eyes, \"Now that the Holy Martial Dynasty has over a dozen Spirit Severing Realm figures, all placing their direct family members in the Imperial City, doesn't that imply—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Xuanyuan Family has long been laying down a grand strategy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, choosing not to ponder further, but instead said solemnly: \"Currently, we have thoroughly offended the Nangong Family; there is no place for us in the Imperial City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that Spirit Severing Realm elder were to arrive, we wouldn't even have the chance to escape.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lingling frowned slightly: \"But the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Yichen and Ninth Princess Xuanyuan Muqian know your identity, if we leave, what if…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff sneered: \"If they really wanted to leak it out, they would have done so long ago. Since no one has mentioned the Taiqing Sect up till now, it shows they've chosen silence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even so, it might still bring trouble to the Lu Family seniors within the sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lingling nodded: \"Let's wait for Xiao Qing to come out before discussing further…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to stay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Qing had already walked out from the cave mansion below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past two days, he had refined the Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystal condensed by over twenty Nangong family members. Coupled with his realm comprehension, his cultivation had further improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his gaze was firm, his tone steady:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, since the matter began because of us, we should face it calmly, not flee in panic!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff was silent for a moment before nodding: \"I am not afraid of death, just fearful of implicating you. The matter was originally caused by me alone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing to do with you!\" Zhou Qing interrupted, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, \"Nangong Xiao was narrow-minded, bearing grudges even after a fair auction, he deserved death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lingling nodded slightly, diverting her gaze to the Ghost Mastiff: \"Eldest, indeed, it's not your fault, no need for guilt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Mastiff was momentarily stunned before suddenly laughing heartily: \"I didn't do anything wrong to begin with, why should I feel guilty? Nangong Xiao courted death, I merely acted in self-defense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the senior brother didn't take it to heart, Zhou Qing and Luo Lingling exchanged a glance, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\" The Ghost Mastiff waved his big hand, spiritedly saying, \"Us three being able to reunite here, it's fate. In that case, let me, the senior brother, lead the way for a good adventure in the Imperial City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing's journey was originally for the top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stone, and despite the dangers encountered along the way, it also fueled his fighting spirit and pushed his cultivation forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Lingling's goal was to perfect her own realm, and the Ghost Mastiff also had his own pursuits in cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the Eastern Domain with tails between legs would be too humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>",1151,"2026-06-09T06:34:20.685Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a0cde3104471b7ffc0c067944e2905bacdc8b837633b7e20d1f705d0fd4ae17","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-1097","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-1095",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
