Besides, I don’t have much time left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Lin Jin’s figure flickered and he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s heart sank suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not much time left?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What does that mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yunzhou was so angry his face turned red, cursing: \"Damn it, I haven’t been this pissed off in ages! Zhou, stay out of this, I’ll just call my sister over and flatten this damn Cangyan Daoist Palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt a stir in his heart but still shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Spirit Severing Realm strikes swiftly, it can’t outspeed a madman without scruples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy has always acted without rhyme or reason, and now he even dares to kill Royal Family members and mock them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, how do you know he isn’t backed by a master in the Spirit Severing Realm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he is the seventh of the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, having seen the existence of frightening forbidden zones; no one knows how many aces he still hides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he treats this as a game, so Nannan likely won’t be in immediate danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once a strong figure from the Spirit Severing Realm gets involved, things will blow up, and the situation will become impossible to clean up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, this is a vendetta between our two sects, and we’ll handle it ourselves!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s voice carried an undeniable determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yunzhou sighed long, his face full of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around, self-reproachful: \"Zhou, it’s all my fault, insisting on coming here to get to the bottom of things. That guy obviously acted on a whim; if we hadn’t come, maybe none of this would have happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing patted his shoulder, consoling him: \"It’s not your fault, that guy is simply a lunatic, acting on a whim. Let’s return to the sect first and deliberate carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, the two boarded the Flying Ship, speeding towards the direction of the Taiqing Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Taiqing Sect, everyone was delighted and excited to see Zhou Qing return safely from the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon seeing Zhou Qing’s sullen face and strange demeanor, Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian couldn’t help but ask with concern: \"What’s wrong? What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked at them, his face grave, eyes slightly narrowed, speaking heavily: \"There’s good news, and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian exchanged glances, then said: \"The bad news first, sweet after the bitter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded, took out the Imaging Stone he had kept, and narrated the encounter with Sikong Yan at Canglan Mountain in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he recounted, Cao Zhengyang and Mo Xingjian’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter, their expressions gradually growing grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This secret regarding the real Gao Xuan being replaced is only known to them up to now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could Nannan possibly still be alive? And after so many years, her appearance hasn’t changed at all...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang stared at the image of the little girl in a floral dress, looking at the tens of thousands of Black-robed Puppets sinking into the ground, his tone full of confusion and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian sighed heavily: \"If it were me in a dilemma, I’d probably choose my own daughter too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how close they are, it ultimately can’t surpass the bond of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s more, Gao Xuan suffered humiliation and plunged into the Taiqing Sect, everything he had done over the years was to repay a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Gao Xuan accidentally wounded Nannan in battle back then, and now Sikong Yan has somehow resurrected her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is too strange.\" Mo Xingjian rubbed his chin, his expression grave, \"With Sikong Yan’s methods, if he truly wanted our three Peak Masters dead, there was a chance at Canglan Mountain, why bother with such intricate schemes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\" Cao Zhengyang agreed, \"What’s weirder is he even revealed the information ahead of time, clearly handing the initiative to us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s tone was cold: \"He’s just someone whose mind isn’t quite right, he said it’s just a game, or maybe a form of amusement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both snorted coldly upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, there’s also something regarding Lin Jin...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Zhou Qing remembered something and shared what he currently knew about Lin Jin with his senior uncle and junior uncle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Mo Xingjian was thoughtful: \"Could it be Sikong Yan did all this to help Lin Jin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s possible.\" Cao Zhengyang nodded, \"Lin Jin once tortured you and Yan Xiaohu in the White Jade Taixu Courtyard; Sikong Yan might have designed this plot to repay a favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian’s eyes flickered: \"You mean, Lin Jin sacrificed himself to save Consort Chen back then, but she ultimately married the current Emperor,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The current situation resembles that event somewhat. So Lin Jin would say he also wants to see Senior Uncle Gao Xuan’s choice again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Zhengyang nodded: \"That’s probably it. Rather than calling it a game of choices, it’s more like he’s testing to see the disgraceful state people reveal in extreme decisions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief contemplation, Zhou Qing shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can be confirmed now is that Nannan is the mother of those Black-robed Puppets, and she still retains her former appearance, showing that this has been prepared for many years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, Lin Jin in the academy only spoke inconsequential things outside our place at most every night, at most causing mental torture without any substantial harm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1006,"2026-06-09T06:34:14.594Z",1,"novelbin.me","c58b4cc0f9d885da8c7ea78fd7831115c895ca7aba5cf9cfb63e3b9acf1105c1","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-867","the-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-chapter-865",1176,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-sect-leader-has-taken-in-a-new-female-discip-cover.jpg"]
