Chapter 985: Blood Lotus Sect! (Please Subscribe)_1
After continuing like this for a while, Zhou Qingruo's voice, now slightly softer, rang out...
"Xu Sheng, have you gained a general understanding of Central State?"
Xu Sheng, who had been gazing down below, immediately snapped out of his reverie and nodded, "Hmm! I've got it more or less."
But in truth, given the rapid speed of their aerial movement, he had hardly had time to imprint the landscape they passed over into his mind, let alone ponder it; however, to avoid Zhou Qingruo's embarrassment, he kept this to himself...
Zhou Qingruo, not noticing anything amiss, nodded lightly and said softly, "Is that so? Then I shall take you to my sect now!"
Xu Sheng's dark eyes flashed with surprise, curiously asking, "Your sect? Miss Qingruo, you couldn't possibly be a Sect Master, could you?"
But it wasn't entirely impossible. With her terrifying level of cultivation, being a sect master or even more would be fitting for her!
And indeed, that was the case!
Zhou Qingruo glanced at Xu Sheng with her icy blue Beautiful Eyes and replied seriously, "That's correct. The sect I belong to is called Blood Lotus Sect, one of the top sects in Central State, and certainly, you could say it's the most unique one!"
Xu Sheng propped his chin in curiosity, "Unique? Miss Qingruo, could you elaborate for me?"
The Blood Lotus Sect didn't sound like one of the Righteous Sects, but given Zhou Qingruo's character, she didn't seem to be a Demon Cultivator either, so he couldn't help but be more interested in her identity...
Zhou Qingruo, slightly annoyed, gave Xu Sheng a blank look and said coldly, "You'll see once we get there. But before we reach the Blood Lotus Sect, you must hold on to me tightly!"
Xu Sheng was stunned, coughing and covering his mouth, "Cough cough... hold on to you tightly? Miss Qingruo, I'm not that kind of man, so..."
It turned out Zhou Qingruo had such a bold side; he had spent so much time with her and had thought she was a cold-hearted, callous woman!
Seeing Xu Sheng misunderstand her, Zhou Qingruo's cheeks gradually grew hot, her face turning a shade redder...
"Who told you such a thing!! It's just... if you don't hold on to me tightly, don't blame me if something happens!"
Her words sounded almost like a lover's playful banter...
Xu Sheng was speechless and carefully stood beside her, slowly extending his hands to embrace her slender waist...
After tightening his hold, his dark eyes subtly brightened; her figure was much better than he had imagined...
Zhou Qingruo, feeling the touch on her waist as if someone had caressed a sensitive spot, couldn't help but let out a soft grunt of protest...
Her breathing also quickened a bit...
Noticing that something was amiss, Xu Sheng asked with concern, "Miss Qingruo, your cheeks seem very red. Are you feeling alright?"
At such a close distance, Zhou Qingruo's earlobes could even feel the warmth of Xu Sheng's breath as he spoke...
And it continued to stir her emotions...
Zhou Qingruo said with faint embarassment, "I'm fine... if you're ready, then let's go!"
After her words, her body emitted a terrifying Spirit Force Fluctuation and she started moving at a speed the naked eye could hardly follow...
...
On the way...
While holding on to Zhou Qingruo, Xu Sheng whispered, "Miss Qingruo, has no one told you that if you weren't so aloof, you'd probably be very popular with men?"
Hearing the words from behind her, Zhou Qingruo's icy blue Beautiful Eyes showed a trace of reminiscence...
Then, with a cold tone, she said, "Shut up, I don't need men at all! And no one is worthy of me!"
Realizing he might have touched on a sensitive topic for Zhou Qingruo, Xu Sheng did not continue to probe...
Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "So, Miss Qingruo, you don't fancy anyone?"
He wasn't trying to be nosy, but rather he was curious about how exactly Zhou Qingruo cultivated!
After all, at such an age, she had become one of the top powerhouses in the Cultivation World, her talent was truly extraordinary!
Zhou Qingruo's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Speak another word like that, and I will kill you!"
This sentence was different from what had been said before, and it was filled with a shocking intent to kill...
It was as if Xu Sheng said one more word, she would indeed not hesitate to slay him!
Xu Sheng had no choice but to close his mouth, not saying another word...
It seemed that there was little chance of coaxing anything more out of him...
Under a wave of awkward, swift advancement, Zhou Qingruo finally spoke out, "We've arrived! Below us is the Blood Lotus Sect!"
In search of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Fruit, she herself had not returned to the Blood Lotus Sect for many years and was also curious about what the Blood Lotus Sect had become!
Xu Sheng glanced downward and his eyes were filled with amazement...
The Blood Lotus Sect, worthy of being a top sect in Central State, covered an area that could compare with Tianyuan City!
He couldn't help but voice his admiration, "Is it really so vast? Worthy indeed of being a top sect."
Zhou Qingruo, hearing Xu Sheng's words, her normally cold and frosty cheeks softened a bit, revealing a hint of pride...
The Blood Lotus Sect was her own creation; its grandeur today could not be separated from her!
Then, as she carefully surveyed the Blood Lotus Sect below, a sense of doubt gradually surfaced in her mind...
"Something seems, amiss!!"
Thus, her Beautiful Eyes hardened and they rapidly descended towards the Blood Lotus Sect below...
...
After landing steadily on the ground, Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo both looked around...
Upon scanning the disciples responsible for guarding the Blood Lotus Sect, they were surprised to say, "They're all female disciples!"
Surrounding them, all the guards were female disciples, dressed in light red robes that modestly covered their full, graceful figures...
Besides, each had a crescent moon-like crimson mark on their foreheads...
Soon, these female disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect noticed Xu Sheng and Zhou Qingruo...
They each drew their Personal Swords from their Storage Cosmos Bags, surrounded them, and radiated a heavy murderous intent...
They coldly shouted, "Stop! Who goes there??"
"Take one more step, and be killed without mercy!"
"Trespassing into the Blood Lotus Sect is a grave sin! Have you any last words?"
Zhou Qingruo, upon hearing this, responded with an icy tone, "How audacious, do you not even recognize me?"
The female disciples paused, then challenged again, "You? And who might you be?"
Zhou Qingruo suppressed the killing intent in her heart and revealed a blood-colored Pei Sword that emanated intense killing intent, saying coldly, "Do you not even recognize this?"
Once they saw it clearly, the pupils of the female disciples sharply contracted...
One of the female disciples exclaimed in disbelief, "Isn't this the Sect Master's personal sword? Why is it in your hand..."
Another disciple covered her lips, murmuring in shock, "Could it be! She is the Sect Master???"
"Impossible! The Sect Master has been dead for many years! How could she be resurrected!"
"Indeed! The new Sect Master herself announced it, it must be a stolen sword!"
Xu Sheng, who was on the side listening to these words, suddenly narrowed his dark pupils...
He had a feeling that some melodramatic event was about to unfold...
