Chapter 1151 - 348: Senior, When Did My Taiqing Sect Ever Offend You?

"According to what Yichen said, after the Taiqing Sect’s extinction, Zhou Qing would only then turn to the Royal Family..."

He stroked his chin and suddenly sneered, "But I think, if a person loses all ties, they might become the most dangerous lone wolf."

"With his talent, he could completely leave and prove that a gentleman’s revenge can wait ten years!"

"One must lose to gain something." Xuanyuan Shuo squinted his eyes, as if weighing the pros and cons, "However... at least three-tenths must remain so that Zhou Qing still has attachments."

He raised his hand to calculate, seemingly estimating the timing.

"Kill seventy percent, save thirty percent... this favor, he cannot but accept."

The Imaging Stone flickered, reflecting the image of the Circulation Star Formation fracturing.

Xuanyuan Shuo stared at the silver, blue, and red intertwined array patterns, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

"I really didn’t expect Zhou Qing to be able to condense eight thousand Spirit Seals..." he murmured softly.

When he previously represented the Royal Family to reward Xuanyuan Fengtai, he assumed this Sect Protection Array was a gift from Lin Daochen, but now it clearly was Zhou Qing’s handiwork.

"Lin Daochen..." he shook his head slightly, "The technique is simply not up to par!"

In the Witch Ancestor Mountain Range of the Southwest Two Domains of the Vast Mansion, a Taichu Dojo relic suddenly appeared.

Two demon emperors rampaged, slaughtering innumerable cultivators and mortal cities to gather essence blood, even leading to the deaths of Level 3 masters Wu Tiangang and Su Lishan.

He had to unite with five Spirit Severing Realm experts, battling arduously for days to finally slay them.

When the group divided the demon emperor’s body, they found there might still be an unsealed demon emperor within the dojo.

Those monsters detected the danger too, forcibly closing the dojo entrance from within.

Therefore, he specifically invited Lin Daochen, the Holy Martial Dynasty’s only Level 3 Array Master, to unlock the restriction.

If the dojo could be opened soon, these potential threats could be nipped in the bud, along with some exploration.

However, years passed, and the newly appointed Level 3 master hadn’t even managed to open a breach.

Previously, the border repair of the Level 4 array [Seven Stars Demon-Binding Array] was completed through the collaboration of Zhou Qing and Lin Daochen.

But at the time, he noticed it was Zhou Qing who found the key point and credited Lin Daochen.

Thus, he hurried to seek Zhou Qing’s help.

When he personally reached Taiqing Sect, Cao Zhengyang and others evasively mentioned Zhou Qing had left and hadn’t returned.

Recalling Zhou Qing’s icy demeanor after the Soul Search failure last time, Xuanyuan Shuo didn’t dare to take aggressive actions.

It seems now, he had gone to the Imperial City to find his senior Ghost Mastiff and stirred such a commotion under the name of Mr. Ji, which he should have foreseen.

"Back in the Peng Emperor’s Cave Mansion, he offered three sticks of incense to Situ Jiuyao and gained eight hundred Spirit Seals as inheritance."

"Directly soaring to be the tenth Level 2 Array Master of the Holy Martial Dynasty; yet how long has it been, and he’s about to upgrade to a Level 4 Array Master."

"Such talent..."

He suddenly chuckled lightly, his eyes sparkling, "No wonder the second uncle values him."

"What a pity..." his tone suddenly turned cold, tinged with sarcasm.

"I took Situ Jiuyao’s corpse to the Imperial City, along with the hand seal records, making the Xuanyuan family junior bow and worship daily..."

He snorted coldly, "To this day, not one has been able to condense Spirit Seals, truly laughable!"

His thoughts drifted far, Xuanyuan Shuo’s brow furrowing tightly.

During this time, he was constantly on the run, having to keep an eye on the Taichu Dojo of the Vast Mansion and manage the changes deep within the border.

"Especially the Qinluo Beast island region, where inexplicably Spirit Severing Realm falls occur, leaving behind such vast regions of residual obsession, and to this day, what exactly happened remains unclear."

"Now, who knows how many Sea Beasts have become its tomb guardians, lingering there..."

Then, he slightly shook his head, dispelling the distractions, refocusing his gaze on the distant battlefield.

"The array is about to break..." he whispered to himself, "If I want Zhou Qing this child to be grateful to me as a king, in any case, I must save his teacher."

Xuanyuan Shuo’s body slightly moved with spiritual power, ready to act any moment.

But at that instant, his expression changed drastically, eyes filled with disbelief: "This is—"
