The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 923 - 291: Sis, Listen to My Explanation—It’s Really Not What You Think

Shen Yunzhou quickly scanned the scene, his pupils suddenly contracting, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

Then he raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "Could it be that you used that corpse to do it?"

"Brother Shen, such words really put me in a tough spot." Zhou Qing's expression turned stern, a chill gleaming in his eyes, "How could everyone in Taiqing Sect commit such a heinous act?"

Shen Yunzhou scratched his head sheepishly, "Yes, yes... Could it truly be the Golden Thunder Sect's doing? They are too ruthless!"

"Let's hurry. I'll go take a look too!" Zhou Qing turned and walked away.

Shen Yunzhou hurriedly followed, with Lu Yaoyao jogging after them. The three of them boarded the flying ship, rushing towards the One Yang Sect.

...

The sects massacred by the Golden Thunder Sect were spread out in a fan shape, leaving hundreds of miles in a dead silence.

Even the loose cultivators who usually profited from chaos dared not approach, illustrating the horrifying impact of this bloodbath.

When Zhou Qing and the others arrived, there were only a few Taiqing Sect disciples conducting investigations.

"Junior Sect Leader! Sister Lu!" Dozens of disciples quickly gathered around, greeting them in unison.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, scanning the crowd and immediately noticed the individuals with three white rings embroidered on their sleeves.

Zhou Qing remembered his master mentioning that most Phecda Sect disciples chose to surrender, but they were still under assessment phase.

Whether they could be accepted permanently depended on their subsequent performance.

For instance, now these disciples looked at Zhou Qing with fear and trepidation in their eyes, except for one, who briefly displayed a venomous malice in his downcast glare.

Though it was fleeting, such a look could not escape Zhou Qing's spiritual sense. Underestimating a Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator like this was a mistake.

Zhou Qing gave him a faint glance and pointed at him, coolly saying, "You, come here!"

The Golden Core Realm disciple's body trembled involuntarily, then quickly stepped forward, "Greetings, Brother Zhou!"

Smack!

As he finished speaking, a Taiqing Sect disciple beside him slapped the back of his head.

"Do you address Brother Zhou like that? No respect, call him Junior Sect Leader!"

He stumbled, almost falling but dared not show any grievance, and once again bowed.

This time he deliberately softened his voice, "Junior Sect Leader, forgive me! Disciple misspoke, hoping that Junior Sect Leader won't mind."

Zhou Qing suddenly revealed a gentle smile, yet it made one's heart turn cold, "Don't be nervous."

He stepped forward half a pace, patting the disciple on the shoulder, "Just right, we'll trouble you to show us around, you're familiar with this place, right?"

The man was initially stunned, but quickly collected himself, hurriedly saying, "Yes, Junior Sect Leader!"

Then Zhou Qing looked at the others, instructing, "You all don't need to go in, better not disturb the clues."

"Yes!" The crowd responded uniformly.

This Golden Core Realm disciple quickly moved aside, squeezing a flattering smile, saying, "Please, Junior Sect Leader!"

"Oh no, this stench is just too alluring, I'll head inside first!"

Shen Yunzhou finished talking, took out his dung beetle pet, and rushed in impatiently.

Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing puzzled, her eyes full of confusion, but ultimately she said nothing, simply wrinkling her nose slightly.

As the two entered, a suffocating stench overwhelmed them, almost impossible to breathe.

Everywhere they looked, there were mutilated bodies scattered across the ground, blood long congealed, with an air of death thick in the atmosphere.

Strangely, the buildings were mostly intact, with no apparent damage, and there were no residual marks of thunder on the bodies either.

It seemed the Golden Thunder Sect's aftermath handling was indeed impeccable, their meticulousness was chilling.

"Be careful, Junior Sect Leader, based on our current investigation, the One Yang Sect's Sect Leader was only Early-stage Divinity Transformation, with only a few Nascent Soul Realm Elders..."

The guide introduced with a smiling face. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Zhou Qing covered his mouth and nose, eyes cold, suddenly saying, "You, really hate me, don't you?"

"W-what?" The man introducing was taken aback, his smile immediately freezing, body trembling slightly.

Zhou Qing suddenly laughed, with a hint of mockery, "From your perspective, it's understandable, though I don't enjoy killing the innocent, but—"

Before he finished speaking, a streak of thunder arc flashed, instantly piercing his forehead.

The man had no time to react, eyes wide open, a look of terror frozen on his face, and fell straight down.

"I also don't wish to leave behind potential threats for myself, for the entire Taiqing Sect," Zhou Qing stated indifferently, without a hint of emotion in his gaze.

He believed there were many more with ulterior motives.

He didn't act outside just to avoid psychological pressure on those who genuinely chose to surrender.

Causing misunderstanding might lead to potential unrest within the entire sect.

Some things can only be reconciled and integrated over time.

What he could do was to use absolute pressure to deter those with evil intentions, to eliminate the tumors with decisive means.

Watching Zhou Qing walk ahead with his hands behind his back, Lu Yaoyao only felt a bit surprised.

A trace of complex emotion flickered in her eyes, but she asked nothing, merely quickened her pace, holding her nose, and followed.

As they reached the sect's deeper areas, only then did they notice Shen Yunzhou standing aloft, surrounded by a nauseating aura.

Behind him, a vast, dung yellow sky curtain heaved violently, countless sticky filth writhing like living creatures.
