Chapter 141: Chapter 95: Gao Xuan, How Dare You (6k)_4

The two people nodded in understanding.

"Master, who do you think did it?" Yan Xiaohu asked curiously.

Mo Xingjian shook his head and said, "They chose neither an early nor a late time to strike, but acted just as Gu Tao was about to escape. Moreover, to kill a mid-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator so cleanly and without a trace, the methods and abilities of the perpetrator are truly terrifying."

"One thing is certain: the opponent is at least in the Divinity Transformation Realm. But there are only a few individuals in Taiqing Sect at that level, which makes it seem easy to investigate, yet completely impossible to start."

Mo Xingjian felt a bit irritated and then waved for the two to leave first.

After all, they couldn’t be of much help.

"I never expected such undercurrents beneath the seemingly calm surface of Taiqing Sect!"

After leaving, Yan Xiaohu clicked his tongue in amazement.

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement.

Previously, it was only Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivators who died, which was considered minor squabbles. But now, with the fall of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, the situation has become serious.

They say good news doesn’t go beyond the door, but bad news spreads far and wide.

The news of the fall of Gu Tao, the Hall Master of the Task Hall in Taiqing Sect, soon spread to other major sects.

Each sect sent condolences and expressed their outrage at the perpetrator.

However, they also knew that Taiqing Sect was in a state of fury and did not dare to disturb them too much, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

Since it was not yet time to flip the table, Taiqing Sect responded politely.

After all, the alliance with Cangyan Daoist Palace seemed guaranteed, but it was still unclear which force was assisting from the other side.

Taiqing Sect needed allies, but even more so, it needed to be on guard.

In the period that followed, the entire Taiqing Sect was in a state of unease, and the various peaks strictly restrained their disciples from wandering around.

To ordinary disciples, if the opponent could assassinate a Divinity Transformation cultivator, lesser individuals were even more at risk.

But to those who knew the truth, if even the Hall Master of the Task Hall was an enemy spy, who could be trusted?

As for Immortal Xuan You, she continued to stay and did not return. Given the suspicion surrounding her, leaving in haste would only confirm those suspicions.

Zhou Qing took advantage of this undisturbed period to devote himself fully to cultivating using the Yin Yang Skills, frantically absorbing mid-grade Spirit Stones and Spirit Eggs, and striving to break through to the mid-stage Golden Core Realm.

No one knew when chaos would erupt, so it was crucial to have the strength to protect oneself.

Another whole month passed, and the atmosphere in Taiqing Sect finally returned to normal.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qing sat with his eyes closed, with black and white Spiritual Power vortices spinning at his chest and Dantian, frenetically absorbing the surrounding Spirit Stones.

As Spiritual Qi continued to pour in, Zhou Qing’s aura rose steadily.

"Break!" Zhou Qing shouted in a low voice after an indeterminate period, and his two Golden Cores underwent another transformation.

The originally radiant glow became even more solid, the Golden Cores slightly enlarged, and an even more magnificent power started flowing through his body.

Feeling this power, Zhou Qing slowly opened his eyes, which sparkled with a sharp light.

"Mid-stage Golden Core Realm!"

He had finally broken through and was almost catching up with his third senior brother.

Zhou Qing was filled with excitement and joy, but to be safe, he once again used the Turtle Breath Skills to conceal his cultivation at the late-stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

"This Yin Yang Skills is truly an incredible Heart Method. It’s a pity it exclusively uses Yin Yang Qi; otherwise, I would find an opportunity to give it to third senior brother. It would certainly help him break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."

Zhou Qing sighed in admiration.
