As for the rest, maybe I can take this opportunity to find a way from those Demon Emperors!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To seek fortune amidst danger, why not take a gamble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhou Qing's eyes, and a trace of madness surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, after a month of day-and-night travels, the three continuously transferred teleporation arrays between multiple provinces and finally arrived at the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, Xuanyuan Shuo could be seen laughing heartily, greeting them, the dark patterns on his robe glimmering in the sunlight: \"Zhou, I've been waiting for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing saluted: \"Greetings, Elder Xuanyuan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're all family, no need for such formalities!\" Xuanyuan Shuo supported him with one hand, \"I've already prepared a banquet to welcome you, come on in quickly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he casually glanced at Shen Yunzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing promptly introduced: \"This is my friend Shen Yunzhou; he wants to see the border and experience it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yunzhou greeted formally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Shuo nodded slightly, warmly guiding the two inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal, Xuanyuan Shuo privately invited Zhou Qing to the study, first concerning himself with the second uncle's condition, and then explaining the border situation in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was roughly the same as Jiang Pojun's words but included more secretive planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful consideration, Zhou Qing nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Time is of the essence; the journey to Great Demon Mountain will begin in three days!\" Xuanyuan Shuo decided on the plan and turned away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely, throughout, the two tacitly avoided discussing the soul search and spirit stones, as if those unpleasant events never happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Shen Yunzhou couldn't contain his curiosity, pulling Zhou Qing aside to ask: \"I noticed Elder Xuanyuan Shuo seems quite hearty; what is he asking your help for this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, regarding the matter of him masquerading as Peng Emperor, only he, Xuanyuan Shuo, and the second uncle knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was considered a confidential matter already agreed upon not to be disclosed lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhou Qing unwilling to speak, Shen Yunzhou wisely refrained from asking further but still said sincerely: \"If he threatens you, just tell me, brother, I'll find a way to deal with him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Shen Yunzhou's eyes filled with burning concern, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this guy often causes trouble on the sixth, on matters of treating others, there is nothing to criticize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you; I know what I'm doing!\" Zhou Qing said, patting him on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And upon hearing that Zhou Qing had arrived, soon the vice generals like Lu Jinghong who had previously battled with him came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the old friends' reunion, the room soon echoed with hearty laughter and teasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even wanted to spar again, but Zhou Qing refused; given the imminent action, crucial mistakes couldn't be made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, three days later, Xuanyuan Shuo quietly left the border defenses with Zhou Qing, heading straight for Great Demon Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Shen Yunzhou crouched, peeking his head from behind a broken wall and furtively wiped his nose, muttering: \"Let me see what you're taking Brother Zhou to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he stealthily followed along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days later, the two sneaked into Great Demon Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to before, the defense of this Demon Mountain was now much tighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everywhere, sky and earth, various demon beasts were stationed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's evident that during the years of \"Peng Emperor's retreat,\" the advisor class Old Ape managed the entire demon race's territory to be watertight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the two approached the central area of Black Feather Peak, there, amid the swirling mist, stood two Demon Kings still retaining their feathered characteristics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apart from the old monkey, Peng Emperor has five direct subordinates, namely Profound Swan, Blazing Heaven Falcon, Ghost Kite, Cloud-splitting Sparrow, and Bone Crow, you should recognize them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Shuo's voice was lowered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded, his gaze locked onto the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guarding there were the ice-cold Profound Swan and the fire-surrounded Blazing Heaven Falcon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, when they searched the cave, the second uncle and Xuanyuan Shuo jointly struck, capturing these Demon Kings, erasing memories and implanting some false cognitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, this is a wooden puppet I got from Brother Daye when we left; if needed, it can morph into the appearance of Peng Emperor Feng Xuanling, facilitating our actions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Shuo took out from his storage bag a wooden puppet carved with intricate patterns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the familiar aura on it, Zhou Qing suddenly missed the second uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, to enhance his own Realm, the second uncle gave him countless puppets over three years, morphing into the appearance of Li Hanshan, challenging sect leaders and elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embedding one's Nascent Soul amplification imprint onto this, indeed not easy, yet thinking of the scene he saw in Shen Hanyi's restricted area recently, he couldn't help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there's a puppet, Xuanyuan Shuo could totally morph and pretend himself, why need him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless, he has other plans!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this Great Demon Order too; it allows you to smoothly enter that Five-Color Array; later, I'll draw them away, and you take the chance to enter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuanyuan Shuo handed over a token engraved with demonic script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhou Qing took the token, Xuanyuan Shuo suddenly had a solemn face: \"Also, just like last time, carry this with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At a critical moment, it can unleash a mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm strike, but use it only if necessary; to consolidate it, this king truly expended a lot of effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-09T06:34:14.235Z",1,"novelbin.me","c795f60c106e76cc6e7c37b516e54b1d44dcad40e14a59acde99aed17b5066ae","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-683","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-682",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
