On the other side, several injured disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect were crouching on the ground, looking at Zhou Qingruo with astonishment and uttering in a daze, "Could it be... are you really the Sect Master?"

"There's no mistake, that sword filled with the scent of blood is indeed the Sect Master's. Although I haven't seen the Sect Master's appearance, I clearly remember that sword!"

"Does that mean, all of us from the Blood Lotus Sect have been deceived by the new Sect Master? From the beginning, our Sect Master never perished!"

"Damn it! Why would the new Sect Master do something like this? Could it be a scheme to seize power?"

Following that, they all stopped their discussions and respectfully addressed Zhou Qingruo in unison, "Disciples pay respects to the Sect Master!!"

Zhou Qingruo uttered a light "Hmm," it seems not all disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect have forgotten about her, their Sect Master who was almost erased from memory!

Right after, one of the female disciples seemed to recall something, her expression tense as she warned, "Sect Master, you must be careful. The new Sect Master, your direct disciple, seems to have used an extremely sinister method to control the other Elders!"

Another female disciple spoke as well, echoing, "That's right! We all opposed the selection of the new Sect Master, but there was no helping it, the Elders were like puppets, whatever the new Sect Master said, they just followed!"

"You must be careful, Sect Master! Who knows, they might take action against you!"

"The new Sect Master's intentions are definitely not pure!"

Hearing their words, Zhou Qingruo's snow-blue pupils contracted, "Puppets? Have they been controlled in a special way?"

She certainly didn't remember teaching such strange martial techniques...

Then, the answer seemed about to reveal itself!

Yet before she could speak again, numerous sharp Sword Qi attacks came flying swiftly toward their position...

Grasping her personal sword tightly, Zhou Qingruo decisively performed a horizontal slash, unleashing a Sword Qi strike that instantly dispersed the incoming Sword Qi...

And those rapidly approaching female Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect, wearing black veils, swiftly dodged to the side...

After the fearful Sword Qi struck the ground, it left a huge crater forged into the earth!

Thereupon, the four Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect gazed intently at Zhou Qingruo before them, coldly shouting, "In the name of the Sect Master, we have come to take your head!!"

Upon clearly seeing their appearance, surprise surfaced on Zhou Qingruo's face...

But upon closer observation, it was apparent they could move, yet their expressions were lifeless, vacant, evidently the demeanor of puppets!

Squinting her eyes, she thought, "Even you have been controlled by her.

Standing aside, Xu Sheng could distinctly sense the intense danger emanating from these veiled women...

He thought to himself, "Are these women's cultivation levels much stronger than mine?!"

Perhaps he could try breaking through the seal by engaging in combat with opponents stronger than himself!

Of course, if he were unable to win, then he would have to seek help from Zhou Qingruo! Otherwise, his life would surely be at risk!

He then spoke to her, saying, "Miss Qingruo, are they very strong?"

Zhou Qingruo, upon hearing this, seemed to detect Xu Sheng's eagerness to try!

Frowning, she said, "I personally cultivated them, and their strength is even greater than that of ordinary individuals at the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm! You better just watch from the side."

After all, as puppets, they would strike without any mercy, and Xu Sheng might be sliced to death with just one mistake, and even she might not be able to save him in time!

Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Miss Qingruo, I have also just recovered to the Golden Immortal Realm and need to engage in actual combat. Plus, I believe with your strength you surely won't let anything happen to me, right?"

Zhou Qingruo gave him a cold, sidelong glance and remained silent...

But her expression clearly indicated acquiescence!

Before they could engage in much conversation, the Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect, shrouded in black veils, coldly shouted, "Attack!!"

The next moment, each of their bodies erupted with a terrifying burst of blood energy! They coordinated with each other as if they were a single organism!

After sensing the cultivation level of Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo, three of the female Elders rushed towards Zhou Qingruo, while another charged at Xu Sheng...

As the three female Elders approached Zhou Qingruo, they gripped their personal swords and exclaimed, "Die!! Heaven-grade Medium Martial Skill! Blood Lotus Sword Dance!!"

It was barely visible as their delicate bodies began to spin rapidly, continuously emitting extremely frightening sword glows...

And they spun towards the center, where Zhou Qingruo was, attacking with the intent to shred...

Zhou Qingruo's icy blue eyes narrowed as she cried out, "Heaven-grade Inferior Martial Technique, Blood Lotus Exhausted Mist!!"

Countless crimson mists burst forth from her body, spreading quickly around her, as she swiftly merged with them and vanished...

The three rapidly spinning Elders, while attempting to converge on Zhou Qingruo, collided with one another...

In an instant, they all let out screams of agony, "Ah!!"

Subsequently, each of their delicate bodies gained several bloody streaks from the sword glows, revealing the deadly power of the attack they had just faced!

After retreating dozens of steps, each of them clutched their wounds tightly, fixating their gaze on the blood fog ahead with determination!

Their bewitched Beautiful Eyes gradually shone with clarity as they recognized the technique, and they uttered in astonishment, "This... This is a martial technique unique to us, the Blood Lotus Sect. Moreover, the only person who could perform this technique to such perfection is the Sect... Ahhh!!"

"Sect Master! It's the Sect Master!! Damn it... Something is devouring my soul, ahhh!!"

"Sect Master! Run... We... can't control it... ahhh!!"

It seemed the memory of Zhou Qingruo sparked a realization, and they felt their souls tormented intensely...

Zhou Qingruo, seeing their agonized state, clenched the personal sword in her hand tightly and hissed through gritted teeth, "Damn it!!"

How could she have never noticed that this disciple's methods were so malicious!!

A few seconds later, the light in their Beautiful Eyes faded once again, leaving them as lifeless as puppets as before...

...

Xu Sheng watched the female Elder in front of him with a face full of vigilance...

This was his first time facing an opponent at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm! He had to be more focused than in any other duel!

The female Elder in front of him gripped her personal sword tightly, causing it to hum...

Suddenly, she moved, her form appearing behind Xu Sheng like a Gui Mei, and she coldly exclaimed, "Die!!"

Xu Sheng was inwardly startled, thinking to himself, "What incredible speed!!"

Immediately reacting, he twisted his body aside, avoiding the strike aimed at his head, but still, a long gash was sliced across his back by the sharp edge...

This woman was very powerful!!
