"Then kill me, Xiao Qing is my own brother, and now that he’s become a wastrel, I don’t want to live either." Luo Lingling’s face was full of determination.
"Unreasonable, unreasonable, ah, you really mean it, alright then, let your master see how much you’ve improved over the years, if you have the ability, come chase me!"
Soon, everyone saw Luo Lingling chasing Mo Xingjian off Little Spirit Peak, and some even witnessed them leaving the sect.
Elder Wuzhu, who was guarding the barrier, watched the two figures chasing after each other, shaking his head helplessly.
"Peak Master Mo is too doting on his disciples, look at this, it’s almost at the point of disrespect. But everyone has their own way of educating, it has nothing to do with me." Elder Wuzhu muttered to himself.
In a short while, a figure came running from a distance, panting heavily.
Who else could it be but Zhou Qing?
"Elder Wuzhu, have you seen my master and senior sister?" Zhou Qing asked anxiously, gasping for breath.
Elder Wuzhu sighed lightly and pointed outside with his hand: "Just went out!"
"It’s all my fault!" Zhou Qing slapped his thigh regretfully and then ran outside.
Watching Zhou Qing’s departing back, Elder Wuzhu felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, hurriedly shouting, "Don’t go, you won’t catch up to them."
However, Zhou Qing seemed not to hear, his steps, although staggering, became faster.
Soon, the other peaks heard about it too, but they couldn’t intervene, nor did they want to.
After all, it’s a matter between the master and disciples, one willing to fight, the other willing to take the hit, probably nothing would happen. They thought it would be fine after some fuss.
But until nightfall, they still didn’t return. A peak master went out to check, and came back with a look of surprise.
Luo Lingling from Little Spirit Peak is really fierce! Who knows where she chased her master to.
Two days later, Mo Xingjian finally stopped, gasping for breath. After hurrying, he finally arrived.
Zhou Qing and Luo Lingling also stepped off the Eight Trigrams Disc, curiously observing the surrounding scenery.
The scorching sun hung high, before them was an endless desert, occasionally swirled by fierce winds carrying large amounts of sand, resembling a giant yellow python rolling and surging through the desert.
In some scattered locations, there were also some withered cactuses.
The extremely hot airwaves surged towards them, making it somewhat hard to breathe.
"This Desert Sea is not just far from the five great sects, you saw on the way here, not just people, but even other creatures are scarce, at most you’ll find sand snakes, spiders, and scorpions barely surviving here. Time is pressing, we’ll have to choose this place for now."
Mo Xingjian said while wiping the sweat off his forehead, his expression showing slight dissatisfaction with the place.
Zhou Qing felt the place was decent, besides, whether he could gather Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown was still uncertain.
If it were normal, it should be a silent breakthrough like Third Senior Brother.
"One more day, I’ll create a safe place!" Luo Lingling said, then left straight away to choose a suitable spot for the breakthrough.
Mo Xingjian also rummaged through his storage bag.
He took out flags of various colors; it looked like there were Spirit Gathering Array, Sound Insulation Array, Illusion Array, and so forth, all well-prepared.
"Second girl, do you still have any Spirit Stones on you?" Mo Xingjian suddenly shouted.
Zhou Qing quickly responded, "Master, I still have some."
"Alright, take out your Top-Grade Spirit Stones, I’ll set up the array," Mo Xingjian said.
Zhou Qing immediately gave a sheepish smile.
Mo Xingjian laughed, "Those are for the final breakthrough, you know, you’ll need tremendous energy to gather Three Flowers at the Crown. Oh right, this is for you."
As Mo Xingjian spoke, he took out a box with a Sealing Spirit Talisman on it.
"What?" Zhou Qing took it with confusion.
Mo Xingjian chuckled, "Secret stash. Don’t be nervous, remember, what’s meant to be will be, what’s not meant to be don’t force. Even if you can’t gather Three Flowers at the Crown this time, with your Heavenly Dao Qi, advancing to Divinity Transformation later will be easy, don’t put too much pressure on yourself."
After saying that, Mo Xingjian patted Zhou Qing’s shoulder to encourage him, then chased after Luo Lingling.
She seemed to have found something valuable and was manipulating a puppet to dig down.
Zhou Qing, out of curiosity, opened the box, his pupils contracting when he saw the contents.
Inside were five Top-Grade Spirit Stones of different colors, quietly lying there.
They were rare Five Elements Spirit Stones, far better than the ordinary Top-Grade Spirit Stones he had.
Looking at the two busy figures in the distance, Zhou Qing’s eyes couldn’t help but become moist.
Sandstorms danced wildly, resembling countless sharp blades crisscrossing in the air, emitting a heart-pounding whoosh.
In the central area of this barren land, six giant arrays nested layer by layer, slowly rotating, with mysterious runes wandering like spiritual snakes.
At the very center of the array, Zhou Qing sat cross-legged, five hearts oriented towards the sky, his expression focused and tense.
Outside the array, Mo Xingjian and Luo Lingling looked worried.
"No, to ensure safety, I need to check around, must be foolproof!" Luo Lingling said, immediately taking out a black hood from her storage bag and handing it to Mo Xingjian.
