Chapter 1024: Chapter 986: Behead Her (Please Subscribe)_1
Zhou Qingruo's ice-blue eyes narrowed as she immediately grasped the crucial point in their conversation, demanding coldly, "The Sect Master died a few years ago? And who is the new Sect Master?"
What exactly had happened to the Blood Lotus Sect in the many years she had been away?
She, the Sect Master, was clearly still alive and well, so how did these disciples speak of her as someone who had fallen? Most importantly, when did the Blood Lotus Sect appoint a new Sect Master?
Hearing Zhou Qingruo's questioning, one of the Blood Lotus Sect female disciples retorted coldly, "This is a matter for our Blood Lotus Sect; why should we tell an outsider like you? Besides, hand over the previous Sect Master's personal sword!!"
Another Blood Lotus Sect female disciple also coldly shouted, "That's right, no matter who you are today, since you possess the previous Sect Master's personal sword, her death must be inextricably linked to you!"
"We must avenge the previous Sect Master!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the bodies of these Blood Lotus Sect female disciples erupted into a terrifying burst of spirit force fluctuation, reaching the Earth Immortal Realm, with even one or two at the Heavenly Immortal Realm!
It should be noted that these were only the disciples responsible for guarding, and their cultivation level was already terrifying. If those with extreme talent were included, to what extent would their cultivation level reach?
From behind, Xu Sheng's dark eyes flickered, and he took a step forward...
But he was stopped by a cold glare from Zhou Qingruo, who restrained him, "This is an internal affair of the Blood Lotus Sect. Xu Sheng, don't interfere!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng just pursed his thin lips, "..."
He hadn't intended to interfere; he was merely preparing for defense...
However, since Zhou Qingruo had said so, there was nothing more to argue about!
These Blood Lotus Sect female disciples simultaneously charged towards Zhou Qingruo, who was surrounded in the middle...
And without hesitation, they aimed their swords, which glowed with a deep red light, towards her and slashed down...
Watching the attackers, Zhou Qingruo simply shouted sternly, "Kneel!!"
After her command, the immense spiritual power contained within her body exploded instantly, and a profound aura of dread enveloped the space in an instant, causing a violent tremor...
As these Blood Lotus Sect female disciples were blasted by the shockwave, they felt as though a mountain was crushing their bodies; they could not withstand the pressure and fell to their knees one after another with "thud" sounds, utterly losing any resistance...
Zhou Qingruo's icy gaze fell upon the closest Blood Lotus Sect female disciple; she walked up to her, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her, questioning coldly, "Speak, who is the new Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect?"
Apart from this new Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, she could not think of anyone else who would deliberately spread the news of her supposed demise!
The Blood Lotus Sect female disciple clenched her teeth, "You... don't even think about it. If you kill us... the Sect Master... cough cough, will avenge us!!"
Zhou Qingruo's eyes narrowed, seemingly realizing that she would not be able to extract the answers she sought...
An odd glow surged into her left hand, which she then placed on the female disciple's head...
Rather than asking each one individually, it would be better to directly perform a Soul Search! In this way, everything that happened would be disclosed!
Feeling Zhou Qingruo's eerie action, the Blood Lotus Sect female disciple's heart chilled with no reason, and she cried out in alarm, "What... what are you doing?? Let me go, let me go!!!"
She was not afraid of death, but in the face of the unknown, everyone would be afraid!!
Zhou Qingruo ignored her fearful expression and uttered two cold words, "Soul Search!"
In an instant, the spiritual power in her left hand surged into the mind of the female disciple, beginning to forcibly read her memories...
The disciple's face twisted with the unbearable pain she was enduring, as she emitted a bloodcurdling scream, "Aaaahhhh!!!!!"
The other female disciples, seeing this, tried to rise, but suddenly found their bodies under this terrifying pressure, even speaking seemed exceptionally difficult!
Watching this scene, Xu Sheng smacked her lips, "So ruthless to your own sect's female disciples?"
However, she could understand, it hadn't been long since she last returned to the sect, not only had a new Sect Master emerged, but also rumors had been spread that she, the former Sect Master, had already fallen, anyone would struggle to remain calm...
After a while, the screams grew fainter, and the female disciple whom Zhou Qingruo had soul searched fell into a coma...
Zhou Qingruo released her, her face turning extremely cold...
"Miss Qingruo, what happened?" Xu Sheng inquired with an even tone.
Zhou Qingruo replied coldly, "The newly appointed Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect is actually the female disciple I once favored the most!"
She never imagined that her own disciple would do such a thing to her master...
For a moment, a wave of complexity inexplicably flashed through her heart...
Xu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at the female disciples who were nearly out of breath, and reminded, "Miss Qingruo, you should lift the pressure first, otherwise, these disciples will suffocate here and there!
Zhou Qingruo glanced at them, snorted coldly, and then retracted her terrifying pressure...
If they were not all disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect, they would have been crushed into blood mist by that pressure!
Seeing the pressure lifted from these female disciples, they collapsed on the ground as if they had survived a calamity, gasping for air violently...
Subsequently, as if making a decision, Zhou Qingruo clenched her fists and said, "Xu Sheng... follow me to purge the remnants of the Blood Lotus Sect!"
From now on, I, Zhou Qingruo, shall act as if I have never had such a disciple!
...
Inside the grand hall of the Blood Lotus Sect...
All around were enchanting scenes of deep crimson...
The woman seated in the Sect Master's position of the Blood Lotus Sect seemed to sense something, her crimson Beautiful Eyes flickered a few times...
Then, extending her seductive tongue to lick the corner of her mouth, she chuckled softly, "Is this... the Master returning? I didn't expect that even after so many years, she still hasn't died!"
After spending so many years to become the Sect Master of the Blood Lotus Sect, she even made the disciples believe that Zhou Qingruo had perished!
But now that she had returned, she would surely come to seize the Sect Master title, so how could she allow her predecessor to succeed!
The enchanting woman gazed towards the several expressionless women veiled in black standing in front, and said faintly, "You four, go and meet the Master. It would be best if you could hack off her head and bring it to me!"
Hearing this, the four veiled women replied without emotion, "Yes!"
After speaking, they quickly turned and left the grand hall of the Blood Lotus Sect...
The enchanting woman watched their departing figures and chuckled lightly...
These four were the Protecting Sect Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect! Each of their Cultivation Levels had reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm!
They were also the ones handpicked and most trusted by the Master!!
She must surely appreciate this gift!
