The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Zhou Qing took a deep breath, the golden light swirling in his eyes: "So overbearing!"

"Hahaha!" Second Uncle laughed out loud, shaking the leaves with his voice, "Of course! Anything branded as an Inscription-level Divine Technique is nothing if not earth-shattering!"

Zhou Qing nodded, the might of those three Seal Skills still echoing in his mind.

Just observing the scenes of the imprints left his heart and spirit shocked.

The Demon Suppression Seal that suppresses all evils, the Heaven-Sealing Seal that locks the heavens and earth, and the Burial Demon Seal that annihilates the Divine Soul, each contained the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.

"But this old man doesn’t have the time to cultivate it." Second Uncle patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder, "Since the Blood Phoenix Race’s Cultivation Technique is unworkable, you should focus on comprehending this ’Daluo Demon Sealing Seal’!"

Zhou Qing slightly nodded, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Just right, the ethereal aura of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree had already absorbed fully with the vast resources of the Void Turtle.

Back when it fought with that Giant Crocodile Void Beast, he had casually grabbed a dozen wood attribute raw stones.

Not to mention, on a trip to Jiyuan Temple, his godson Buddha Son Gui Cang gifted him a full thousand.

"Understanding the first seal [Demon Suppression] shouldn’t be a problem." Zhou Qing secretly calculated.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Zhou Qing, regaining his composure, stood up solemnly and saluted.

Second Uncle waved his hand nonchalantly, "What’s there to thank? Even the best stuff is useless if it’s just sitting in a Storage Bag gathering dust; what difference is there to waste?"

This made Zhou Qing agree wholeheartedly.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something: "Right, Uncle, why did you come to the Fifth Tail?"

The Desolate Forbidden zone stretches between the Four Ancient Races and the Eight-Tails.

Even though the Inspector left in pursuit of the Divine Beast, but for Second Uncle to trek all the way from the Third Pass was not an easy task.

Did those three Transforming Divine Medicines go to waste?

And with so many places he could visit, why did he end up in the Outer Domain of the Fifth Tail?

Second Uncle sighed, "It’s quite a story of chance and coincidence. When I came out, I was actually in the Third Tail."

"Third Tail?" Zhou Qing was taken aback.

"Recently, hasn’t the Desolate Forbidden area been searching for that Three-Flower Corpse?" Second Uncle smiled mysteriously, "Those Imaging Stones were actually put out by me on purpose."

"Ah?" Zhou Qing’s eyes widened, looking clueless.

Second Uncle proudly stroked his chin, "Absolutely true, even the Imaging Stones from when the Divine Beast fell were made by me."

"Why did you do that?" Zhou Qing took the opportunity to ask the question in his heart.

Second Uncle waved his hand, "This is related to Big Brother, so let’s leave it unsaid."

"In short, after I got out, I met a severely injured cultivator on the edge of the Desolate Forbidden. Seeing him near death was quite pitiful, so I saved him out of hand."

He clicked his tongue, "Hey, can you believe it? After waking up, he insisted we were like old friends, insistent on repaying the life-saving grace."

"He also claimed to be an assassin from the ’Blood Contract Pavilion’, could get me an inside referral and guarantee, insisting on recruiting me, saying this line of work earns lots quickly."

Zhou Qing listened in disbelief, speechless for a long while.

Knowing Second Uncle had good fortune and relations, but not expecting them to this absurd extent.

"So you are now an assassin from the ’Blood Contract Pavilion’?" Zhou Qing probed.

"Exactly, a Silver Medal Assassin, number forty-seven." Second Uncle looked excited, "They said someone on the Fifth Tail would assign tasks, so they sent me here to get familiar."

"In the first half of your uncle’s life, he’s been to many places, but never been an assassin before, time to experience it."

At this, Second Uncle mischievously winked, "Who knew, as soon as I arrived, you’d sniff me out, you brat."

Zhou Qing’s heart stirred, immediately thinking of something, "Uncle, your number isn’t auspicious."

"Oh? Do tell."

"Forty-seven, sounds like ’death date’ in our dialect."

Second Uncle was initially taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, cultivators believe in this? How could mere numbers curse your uncle to death?"

Zhou Qing sighed helplessly and recounted Shen Hanyi’s situation and the events of a killer numbered forty-seven during the Holy Martial Dynasty.

"No wonder my number is so early..." Second Uncle frowned deeply, "Turns out I replaced someone... Wait, you said that veiled girl was already at Spirit Slash Realm Perfection?"

Seeing Zhou Qing nod, Second Uncle was amazed, "Incredible! Back then, when she competed with Xuanyuan Shuo and the Peng Emperor for Old Peng King’s legacy, she was just mid-stage Spirit Slash Realm. How long has it been, surpassing even me in progress?"

"Maybe... she has extraordinary talent." Zhou Qing avoided eye contact, feeling a bit guilty.

"Impressive indeed, must meet her if I get the chance." Second Uncle suddenly squinted, "But you’re even more impressive, to join forces with her to slay a Spirit Slash Realm Perfection assassin!"

"I just assisted from the side; she and Zhao Family’s Zhao Muye did the heavy lifting." Zhou Qing explained quickly.

Then grew serious, "I suspect you being sent here might also be related to Shen Hanyi."

Second Uncle pondered, then looked at Zhou Qing, seemingly realizing something, suddenly leaned in, eyes sparkling with curiosity, "Why so worried about her? Could it be..."

He deliberately drew out his voice, "You like her?"

"N-no such thing!" Zhou Qing’s face flushed red to his ears.

Then stammered, "I’m just worried about you! You and the previous person were both Spirit Slash Realm Perfection, but how many missions had they completed? So experienced, yet still ended up dead."

Second Uncle squinted, eyeing Zhou Qing like he’d found prey, "Tsk tsk tsk, something’s fishy!"

He suddenly slapped his thigh, "You definitely like her! In the Divinity Transformation Realm, daring to face top-notch assassins for her, if that’s not liking, then what is?"
