The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 959 - 300: Which Prince Do They Want to Bring Down?

"The Tri-color Array…" he murmured softly, knowing that Zhou Qing must be going through unimaginable hardships at this moment.

Without further disturbance, Mo Xingjian turned and left.

But just as he stepped out of the courtyard, the Identity Token in his storage bag lit up.

When he arrived at Divine Peak, he found that the six junior brothers and sisters stationed at Phecda Sect had all returned.

"What's going on?" Mo Xingjian asked in confusion.

At this moment, Cao Zhengyang also hurriedly arrived. After glancing around at all the Peak Masters, he said with a grave expression: "Everyone, the Supreme Elder has ordered that we use all our strength to completely seal the entrance to the forbidden zone."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the dozen or so Peak Masters changed drastically.

The treasures in the Pocket World of the Taiqing Sect are bountiful, and past Sect Leaders have brought out precious items from it.

Now that the sect's strength has greatly increased, they had planned to explore it together with over twenty practitioners at Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection after handling the matters at hand.

Why is it suddenly being sealed?

Gao Xuan was the first to react.

Since coming out of retreat, Cao Zhengyang had informed him of certain secrets.

"Is it because those two seniors of the Spirit Severing Realm are coming?" he asked.

Cao Zhengyang nodded slightly.

Everyone suddenly understood.

It seems the eight uncles decided not to share the greatest secret of the Taiqing Sect with outsiders.

"But even if sealed, doesn't Second Grandpa have another entrance?" Tong Min of Yuqing Peak questioned.

Cao Zhengyang smiled wryly: "Precisely, that's our backup plan. But unfortunately, we don't know this backup plan."

He looked at everyone earnestly: "Junior brothers and sisters, don't be too concerned. We are still unfamiliar with those two seniors, and we don't even know what they look like. They came entirely because of Zhou Qing's influence."

Everyone nodded in agreement and proceeded to the back mountain.

Duanmu Shu and others had been waiting for a long time.

After briefly explaining the plan, everyone immediately began the sealing work…

Thus, three more days passed.

The group walked out from the back mountain, looking weary and without rest, when the elder responsible for guarding the Teleportation Array hurriedly reported. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, Immortal Xuan You from the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect has come to visit."

Cao Zhengyang pondered for a moment, then nodded in approval for her to enter.

Soon, with a flash from the Teleportation Array, Immortal Xuan You emerged in her cyan robe, a serious expression on her face.

"The mother of the Fifth Prince, Princess Consort Ying, recently traveled among the major sects with her entourage, seeking aid everywhere."

Immortal Xuan You stated bluntly, "Cangyan Daoist Palace refused to meet her due to Sikong Yan being in secluded meditation, while the Golden Thunder Sect was received by Lei Lie."

With that, she produced a jade scroll and handed it over: "This contains the images they asked our sect to help find."

Mo Xingjian took the jade scroll, noticing it was identical to the one given by Princess Consort Ying before, and shook his head: "Casting a wide net."

"Just go through the motions." Cao Zhengyang said calmly.

Being a Sect Leader, Immortal Xuan You naturally understood the Royals' twists and turns.

She hesitated briefly but still cautioned: "Cao, Taiqing Sect should still pay close attention to this matter."

"Oh?" Cao Zhengyang raised an eyebrow.

"Aside from finding clues," Immortal Xuan You lowered her voice.

"She specifically presented another prince's portrait, seemingly suggesting it has something to do with the Fifth Prince's death."

Cao Zhengyang's eyes flashed with understanding: "It seems… they intend to redirect royal infighting towards us."

He sneered, "Trying to use our Eastern Domain sects to eliminate political opponents?"

Immortal Xuan You nodded slightly: "Exactly. While Princess Consort Ying appears grief-stricken, she is calculating every step. I worry…"

"Worried she will stir up trouble in the Eastern Domain?" Mo Xingjian continued, lightly tapping the jade scroll, "If that's the case, we should stay out of it."

Immortal Xuan You nodded and said: "But in this matter, it seems Taiqing Sect might find it difficult to remain uninvolved."

Hearing this, Cao Zhengyang looked puzzled but quickly realized: "Which prince's portrait was shown?"

"The Seventh Prince—Xuanyuan Yichen!" Immortal Xuan You stated precisely.

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengyang's expression changed immediately.

Xuanyuan Yichen was acquainted with the chief Ghost Mastiff of Little Spirit Peak, having come here to spar before.

Later, he even brought some items asking Zhou Qing for appraisal, visiting multiple times.

Especially regarding the White Jade Taixu Courtyard and the border area, Zhou Qing had interacted with him more than once or twice.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhengyang's expression grew increasingly somber.

If Princess Consort Ying indeed intended to frame the Seventh Prince, wouldn't these interactions with Taiqing Sect become irrefutable "evidence" of collusion?

Once the seed of suspicion is planted, the crime is already confirmed!

Seeing Cao Zhengyang's shifting expression, Immortal Xuan You naturally understood the severity.

After all, to verify if Zhou Qing was the one with Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, she had meticulously examined White Jade Taixu Courtyard and border interactions.

"Very well, I will take my leave now. As always, the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect vows to stand with the Taiqing Sect!"

Immortal Xuan You solemnly performed a courteous gesture.

Cao Zhengyang suppressed his inner worries and returned the salute: "Thank you, Sect Leader Xuan You, for the reminder."

After the teleportation array's glow dissipated, Cao Zhengyang immediately called everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, that very night, a figure shrouded entirely in a black robe appeared outside the Taiqing Sect.

When Elder Wuzhu came out, before he could inquire, the figure suddenly launched a jade scroll into the air.

Instinctively catching it, Elder Wuzhu looked up to find that the shadow had already disappeared into the night.

Given the urgency, Elder Wuzhu didn't dare delay, quickly bringing the jade scroll to Cao Zhengyang.

After reading it, Cao Zhengyang immediately gathered the Peak Masters and Supreme Elder still within the sect.

"The jade scroll contains similar information to Immortal Xuan You's warning, but more detailed, even Princess Consort Ying's movements and deployments are documented. Please take a closer look!"
