Chapter 990: Master and Disciple Standoff (Please Subscribe)_1
Upon hearing these words, Xu Sheng couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed...
It didn't seem like he had entered a sect so much as a wolf's den...
He then smiled faintly and explained to them, "Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect, Miss Qingruo and I do not have that kind of relationship, please do not misunderstand!"
No sooner had he spoken than the female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect covered their mouths and chuckled lightly, finding the situation quite amusing...
One of the female Elders blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "We were just joking, how could you and the Sect Master possibly be together!"
Another Elder nodded in agreement, "That's right, our revered Sect Master has lived for tens of thousands of years, her heart has long been indifferent to the charms of men!"
"Our sect hasn't seen a man for so many years, yet the Sect Master personally brought you here, which proves you must be different from other men!"
"Right, we've talked for so long, but you haven't told us your name yet!"
Xu Sheng pursed his thin lips and said, "My name is Xu Sheng! You should be able to sense my cultivation level, Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm."
The female Elder who had fought with Xu Sheng earlier swept her enchanting gaze over the bloody wounds on his arms and back, then took out a pale green elixir that emitted a fresh scent and seemed perfectly natural from her Storage Cosmos Bag...
Then, she casually tossed it to Xu Sheng...
After he caught it, she turned her head slightly and explained, "This is a Heavenly Tier Elixir, a Revitalizing Elixir, which can heal the injuries you've received! Also, I was controlled earlier, it wasn't my intention to attack you!"
Although she didn't face Xu Sheng directly as she spoke, her remorse was palpable!
He took the elixir without hesitation, placing it into his mouth and said with gratitude, "Mmm, thank you!"
In a moment, a powerful surge of vitality erupted within him, bringing an incredibly cozy warmth, and then, the surge started spreading incessantly towards his limbs...
Even to the naked eye, it was visible that the injuries on Xu Sheng's body were healing exceptionally fast; even the flesh that had been previously torn away was sprouting new growth...
After several seconds, his entire aura stabilized, and the skin that had healed all over his body became smooth, showing no signs of having ever been marred by ghastly scars...
Xu Sheng examined himself briefly, then smacked his lips and said, "It's no wonder it's a Heavenly Tier Elixir, to have healed my injuries completely in such a short amount of time!"
With such a level of elixir available, to say it was akin to having an extra life wouldn't be an exaggeration!
Hearing his praise, the female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect showed their pride...
"That's right, this Revitalizing Elixir is quite precious even within our Blood Lotus Sect, we usually can't bear to use it ourselves, but today you got lucky!"
"Now that you are unhurt, let's wipe the slate clean regarding the earlier incident!"
"As the first man the Sect Master has brought back, you must take good care of her. If you dare betray the Sect Master, we definitely won't let you off easily!"
Xu Sheng fell into silence, "..."
This feeling was as if Zhou Qingruo had been entrusted to him...
...
Meanwhile, the bewitching woman sitting in the grand hall of the Blood Lotus Sect, upon sensing that she had lost contact with those four Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect, narrowed her eyes and said, "So they've been dealt with so quickly! Is the Sect Master's strength still that formidable?"
She had thought that those female Elders could hold out against Zhou Qingruo for at least half an hour but apparently she had overestimated them!
She saw her slowly rise from her seat, those charming and alluring eyes shimmering with an eerie light...
Suddenly she stated in a cold voice, "Come out, all of you! Now, it's time to act together."
No sooner had she spoken than several wisps of purple-black mist arose in the previously empty grand hall, revealing several figures robed in black...
If one were to pay careful attention, they would realize that each of their cultivation levels was above the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but what truly caught attention was the intrinsic aura of extreme yin and evil emanating from their bodies...
Without a doubt, all of them were demon cultivators!
These demon cultivators looked at the enchanting woman with their bloodshot, blood-red eyes and said in a bizarre tone, "Worthy of being the old sect master of the Blood Lotus Sect, your strength is indeed formidable!"
"However, she is worth our joint effort since she is the woman rumored to have hopes of reaching that level!"
"Hmph! If it were one on one, the old sect master of the Blood Lotus Sect might have a slight chance of victory, but if several of us attack together, there is simply nothing to fear!"
Although their words praised Zhou Qingruo, these demon cultivators did not show the slightest fear, even being full of confidence!
The enchanting woman raised her eyebrows and said coldly, "Enough talk! Even I am not confident in how long I can last under my master's hand!"
Everything she had learned was taught by Zhou Qingruo, so even before the battle began, she was already at a disadvantage!
Therefore, only by relying on their collective strength could they possibly suppress her!
...
"Intruders of the Blood Lotus Sect will be killed without mercy!"
Countless female disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect, with icy expressions, charged toward Zhou Qingruo, who was steadily advancing, intending to slay her on the spot!
After casting a glance at them with her ice-blue beautiful eyes, Zhou Qingruo merely unleashed her own oppressive aura...
"Aaaaahhhhh!!!"
Following cries of agony, the female disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect were easily overwhelmed by the oppressive force, thrown dozens of meters back, and fell into unconsciousness!
This was the disparity in strength between the sect master and the disciples!
"Clap, clap, clap"
Suddenly, a crisp round of applause broke out...
Immediately after, another woman's voice echoed...
"Worthy of being my master, even after so many years away from the Blood Lotus Sect, your strength has not diminished from before!"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Qingruo's beautiful eyes narrowed, looking in the direction from where the voice came...
When she saw the figure not far away, she was first taken aback, then softly pressed her tender lips together and said, "Yu Mo..."
She felt that this disciple before her eyes was so unfamiliar!
The enchanting woman called Yu Mo was none other than the current sect master of the Blood Lotus Sect, Qin Yumo!
She was also the disciple Zhou Qingruo had once valued the most!
When Qin Yumo heard Zhou Qingruo's words, she laughed lightly and said, "Master, I didn't expect you to still remember your disciple!"
Zhou Qingruo's expression turned colder as she questioned, "Yu Mo, why are you doing these things? Haven't I always treated you well?"
Confronted with the question, Qin Yumo flashed a cold smile, "Indeed, it is because you have never wronged me, Master, that's why the sect master of the Blood Lotus Sect should be me, and you should have stepped down long ago."
"Moreover, coming back now, aren't you just slapping your disciple's face? Of course, if you leave the Blood Lotus Sect, you are still my master!!"
