The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 706 - 237: And You Still Say You’re Not a Tomb Guardian Beast

Zhou Qing had to lie: "That day, after following my uncles and elders into the abyss, everyone was waiting for the entrance to fully solidify."

"Because I was closer, I suddenly saw a fleeting figure in the mist."

As he spoke, Zhou Qing used his spiritual power to sketch out the image of the Ghost Emperor in the air.

Upon seeing this person's appearance, Uncle Second couldn't help but have his pupils contract sharply, his face full of shock.

"Are you sure?" Uncle Second asked again, his voice trembling slightly.

Zhou Qing nodded vigorously, saying with absolute certainty, "I'm sure. I even made a special trip to the Ancestral Hall to carefully compare it with the portrait."

After hearing this, Uncle Second put his hands behind his back and began pacing back and forth, muttering to himself: "Impossible, Canglong Taoist should have long passed away. How could he appear there?"

Zhou Qing didn't speak further, after all, back in the day, Canglong Taoist had intended to pass the position of Sect Leader to Uncle Second.

Uncle Second, of course, didn't want it, so he had to fake his death to escape.

He then immersed himself completely in exploring the pocket world, but unexpectedly got trapped inside.

By the time Zhou Qing brought him out, Canglong Taoist had long since passed away.

"Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, I have a strong feeling that perhaps the Ghost Emperor in the first coffin is the former Sect Leader of the Taiqing Sect — Canglong Taoist!" Zhou Qing added.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Second immediately turned around, staring at Zhou Qing with piercing eyes.

"Your idea... is bold, but absolutely impossible. After all, no one knows the way past the Blood River, let alone entering there." Uncle Second stated firmly.

He clearly remembered that when he entered the third coffin, Canglong Taoist had not yet passed away.

Zhou Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "When facing a desperate situation, people often can unleash potential beyond themselves. What's more, since you were in the third coffin, how can you be sure he didn't go in smoothly?"

Uncle Second fell silent at Zhou Qing's words.

He suddenly recalled that the last time he went in with Zhou Qing, he always felt that someone was secretly watching them.

The feeling only completely disappeared when they came out.

At the time, he speculated it might be one of the dominant creatures inside, but never thought to associate it with Canglong Taoist.

Could it be that he recognized me, so he didn't attack like the Flame Fire Crocodile King in the third coffin?

No, that's not right!

My appearance now is different from when I first joined the Taiqing Sect, he must have recognized Zhou Qing.

After all, this child not only cultivated the "Taiqing Profound Qi Skills" heart method but also opened the keys for Duanmu Shu and others on multiple occasions before.

"Whether it's true or false, we'll know by checking!" Uncle Second stood up and said immediately.

The moment Zhou Qing heard this, he quickly said, "Isn't it too hasty? Perhaps the Grandmaster has really broken through to the Spirit Severing Realm, but might not be able to control himself, what if we go in..."

"It's just the Spirit Severing Realm, there's even a Demon Emperor in the third coffin, didn't I still deal with it for hundreds of years, don't worry!"

Uncle Second said, directly picking up an old hen that was sound asleep nearby.

"You come along too, after all, there are quite a few restrictions inside, and your array skills now far surpass this old man's!" Uncle Second said.

Zhou Qing was still a bit hesitant; in the simulated state, the Ghost Emperor had told him not to come in.

"I heard many in the Divinity Transformation Realm have died in there, and the storage bags are simply unimaginable in number!" Uncle Second spoke slowly.

Zhou Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately stood up, saying, "There's no time to lose, let's depart now, but Uncle, can you do me a favor first?"

Uncle Second shook his head speechlessly.

This guy, he won't budge without some benefit, huh,

"Okay, let's hear it. What are you plotting now?" Uncle Second asked.

Zhou Qing said, "I need two Flame Spirit Flowers; it seems there are some in the third coffin."

"Flame Spirit Flower? What do you need that for?" Uncle Second frowned, looking at Zhou Qing puzzled.

He had indeed seen quite a few Flame Spirit Flowers, being stuck in the third coffin for years.

Zhou Qing explained, "I need it for myself."

"I'm not going, that old crocodile now sees me and acts as if it doesn't want to live!" Uncle Second decisively waved his hand to refuse.

Zhou Qing seemed to have anticipated this, so he had to say, "Then forget it, Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng actually has a similar effect. I want my one-third of it."

Uncle Second was taken aback, not expecting Zhou Qing to come up with such a request, then he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You're picking up bad habits way too fast?" Uncle Second said, laughing and sighing.

Zhou Qing chuckled sheepishly, starting to complain, "In the Peng Emperor's residence, Elder Xuanyuan got that priceless Five-Colored Array Disc, and you managed to get a transforming Ten Thousand Year Blood Ginseng, and I, poor me, only got some miscellaneous stuff."

"You call that pitiful? You lit three incense sticks on the bodies, directly condensing so many Spirit Seals, nearly making me die of envy!"

Uncle Second rolled his eyes and retorted.

Zhou Qing said, "I don't care, that was my own opportunity. We agreed to divide the items inside equally, but now you both have gained something..."

"Alright, alright, let's stop. I can only help you pick those Flame Spirit Flowers, I really have no time to gather anything else!"

Seeing Zhou Qing's relentless badgering, Uncle Second promptly compromised.

Besides, the Peng Emperor's residence, the kid indeed didn't get anything good.

Zhou Qing immediately chuckled and said, "Absolutely nothing else."

Uncle Second shook his head with a bitter laugh. After some preparations, the two of them appeared directly at Lu Yaoyao's residence.

At this moment, Lu Yaoyao was resting her chin in her hands, lying in front of the window, staring at the passage, her thoughts unknown.
