Two hidden dangers

Seeing this scene, Zhong Qing rubbed his brow.

Did his Disciple have some history with Liu Yun?

At this moment, Feng Buqun, who heard the commotion, flew over, "Junior Brother!

You've probably misunderstood!

This lady came here a fortnight ago, so this visit most likely has nothing to do with you!"

Fang Buqiu naturally didn't know about Liu Yun's previous visit to the Phoenix Feather Sect.

Upon hearing Feng Buqun's words, Fang Buqiu was also stunned.

Could it be that this crazy woman wasn't tracking him?

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and recounted everything that had happened earlier.

He even clearly explained how Liu Yun had approached him twice, demanding that he treat her, and even mentioned that he had said he would kill her directly if he saw her again.

After Fang Buqiu finished speaking, Liu Yun, standing rooted to the spot, flushed alternately red and pale, clearly feeling humiliated, her eyes filled with intense anger.

Zhong Qing waved his hand, signaling Fang Buqiu to stand up.

"Good Disciple, it's alright, no need to be so flustered.

This young lady's visit has nothing to do with you."

"And there's no need to take it to heart."

Fang Buqiu nodded heavily upon hearing this, stood up, but his sharp Sword Qi remained pointed at Liu Yun.

Zhong Qing looked at Liu Yun and likewise waved his hand: "Miss Liu Yun, you should leave too.

You've seen my Disciple; he's in a bad mood right now.

If he insists on fulfilling his promise to kill you when he sees you again, I can't stop him."

Hearing this, Liu Yun gritted her teeth and spoke with an imposing air: "Zhong Qing!

It's true that the entire Phoenix Feather Sect is currently under your command, and the Disciples under you are all top-notch existences in the Chaotic Land."

"But remember, there's always someone better, and a heaven beyond heaven!

Do you even understand what it means that I was an Emperor in my previous life?!"

"In the entire Central Continent, your Phoenix Feather Sect is nothing, and even your so-called Disciples are nothing.

If you want to establish a true foundation in the Central Continent in the future..."

"Liu Yun!"

"The possessor of the Hongmeng Sacred Body is your greatest Opportunity!"

"Cooperating with me is a deal you will absolutely not lose on!"

"Do you understand?!"

Liu Yun spoke earnestly, with a hint of disappointment that he wasn't living up to her expectations.

However, the Senior Brothers present from the Phoenix Feather Sect all sneered.

So what if she was an Empress?

Their Master was like a god in their hearts now!

What could you do as an Empress?

Didn't you still have to come and beg Master?!

You're an Empress, but can you casually pull out dozens of Saint-Level Cultivation Methods from your pocket?!

Forget being an Empress; even if you were a Celestial Emperor, it wouldn't make a difference!

Amidst the sneers of the crowd, Liu Yun felt even more humiliated!

Zhong Qing, on the other hand, sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that this woman had some connection to him because of the System's direct mention, and he had to give the System some Face.

He wouldn't have stopped Fang Buqiu when he wanted to make a move just now.

In fact, he wouldn't even need Fang Buqiu; he would have slapped her to death long ago.

Never mind, never mind.

Zhong Qing was too lazy to say more, so he waved his hand again and said indifferently, "I have no interest in cooperating with you.

Leave."

Seeing Zhong Qing like this, Liu Yun froze in place, momentarily speechless.

She had even sworn on the Hongmeng Sacred Body, and Zhong Qing still disagreed?!

Did he absolutely have to take her as a Disciple?!

No!

There was no way she could become his Disciple!

If that were the case, wouldn't her status as an Empress be disgraced?!

"Fine!

Zhong Qing, remember what you said today.

I, Liu Yun, don't do forced buying and selling.

If I leave today..."

"Once you truly understand the mysteries of my Hongmeng Sacred Body and the value of the Emperor Realm in the future, it will be too late to regret it!"

After uttering a few more harsh words, Liu Yun turned and left.

The numerous Senior Brothers present all looked at Liu Yun with displeasure, and many powerhouses in the Returning to One Realm clenched their fists!

Their fists hardened!

This woman spoke a little too arrogantly.

"Make way for her; just let her go."

Zhong Qing didn't want to look at her any longer.

Under Zhong Qing's command, more than a dozen Grand Elders moved aside, opening a path.

Liu Yun gritted her silver teeth; since things had come to this, she could only leave!

"Hmph!"

Liu Yun snorted coldly, her gaze lingering on Zhong Qing's back with some resentment for a moment, then she turned and left!

This person, despite having cultivation, thought that controlling the Phoenix Feather Sect and dominating the Chaotic Land made him extraordinary.

Little did he know, he was simply a frog at the bottom of a well!

After leaving the Phoenix Feather Sect this time, perhaps she should leave the Chaotic Land.

While avoiding the Venerable Realm Six Lives Branch Family Head, she would see if she could find an Opportunity elsewhere.

Under heaven, she refused to believe that Zhong Qing was the only one who could maintain her damaged Sacred Body!

Thinking of this, Liu Yun's steps quickened.

Light flashed as she quickly walked down the long stairs.

As she walked, she suddenly looked up.

At the bottom of the long stairs, a figure met Liu Yun head-on.

The figure was clad in golden armor and helmet, holding a Cultivation Technique, reading it as he ascended the steps.

Although this figure never looked up, his powerful and restrained Qi wavered around him.

Liu Yun's spine instantly stiffened.

She looked down from above at this powerful figure and realized something.

Wasn't this the Six Lives Branch Family Head of the Shen Family?!

Why was he here?!

Could it be that she had been discovered?!

No... if she had been discovered, she would probably be a corpse by now!

Then why, why would this Six Lives Branch Family Head appear here?!

Before she could think further, the person walking towards her arrived nearby.

Subconsciously, Liu Yun moved aside, making way.

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and stabilized her shaky figure.

But as she crossed paths with Shen Jinkuo, her steps descending the stairs couldn't help but falter.

In front of this Venerable Realm Six Lives Branch Family Head, she currently had absolutely no room for resistance!

The next moment, cold sweat soaked her entire body.

Shen Jinkuo, who had already passed her, suddenly stopped, closing the Cultivation Technique in his hand.

Then he turned around, his gaze piercingly fixed on Liu Yun's back as she walked down the steps.

At this moment, Liu Yun clearly felt the gaze of this Venerable Realm old man!

But her steps did not stop; she tried her best to maintain a consistent speed as she walked down.

Shen Jinkuo looked at Liu Yun's back, his brows furrowing.

He felt that something was not quite right.

"Why do I have such a strange feeling?"

"This person's Qi seems somewhat similar to the Shen Family's Origin Profound Qi."

Recalling the Shen Family, Shen Jinkuo finally remembered his other slacking job.

"Oh right, I still have a task from the Shen Family that I haven't completed."

Immediately after, he neatly tucked the Cultivation Technique into his embrace, then snapped his fingers.

The next moment, an orange-yellow magical orb appeared at his fingertips.

This was precisely the Family secret treasure bestowed by the Shen Family's Main Branch, the Crystal of Grand Path.

This time, when he came to the Chaotic Land to perform his task, he was guided by this Crystal of Grand Path.

It was also through the mapping of the Crystal of Grand Path that the Main Branch confirmed that there was something in the Chaotic Land that could threaten the Shen Family's existence.

Extending his jade-white knuckles, Shen Jinkuo tapped on the Crystal of Grand Path.

Two purple light spots, one large and one small, shot out from it.

"Hmm? Why did it become two points?! Doesn't two points mean that there are two existences in this Chaotic Land that could potentially affect the Shen Family's future?!"

The larger one swiftly disappeared into the distance, soaring and spinning in the sky, sometimes flying to the peak, sometimes to the firmament.

It grew and shrank, finally transforming into a massive black hole that enveloped the sky above the Liaoqiao Peak's main hall.

Shen Jinkuo narrowed his eyes, startled: "This one is so large, it's unprecedented!"

"Something so large will be a devastating calamity for the Shen Family!"

"However, this large one is sometimes far and sometimes near, as if it's right before my eyes and yet also as far as the Nine Heavens?"

"Never mind, never mind.

I won't think about it.

The Shen Family has little to do with me now.

If they find out I've become a Disciple, they might even hunt me down, so whatever happens, happens.

Besides, such a huge crisis is not something I can resolve."

After observing the larger one, the smaller one also floated up.

"This one is much smaller, about the size of a fist, just a minor hidden danger for the Shen Family."

"If I encounter it, I'll just resolve it incidentally."

His gaze followed the small orb, and Shen Jinkuo raised an eyebrow, clearly seeing the small magical orb land on the head of the woman walking down the long stairs.

"Hmm?"
