The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 127: Drinking

The Sect Leader looked at Qi Xianqing, his normally composed face showing a rare flicker of panic and disbelief, mixed with a sense of bewilderment, as if a dark cloud had been lifted from his mind.

A sliver of moonlight streamed into the cave, casting everything around them in faint shadows.

On the ground were shards of broken pottery and scattered stones; if not for the little black ball creature stumbling upon this place, the Sect Leader might have remained here in his slumber for who knows how long.

Mu Zhongzi furrowed his brow, his face twisted in pain. "I... I..."

A strange silence fell over the cave.

Mu Zhongzi murmured, "I was in seclusion when someone intruded into my body, and then... he..."

The Sect Leader shook his head, unable to finish. Who would have thought that he, the mighty Sect Leader, would end up in such a pitiful state?

He had indeed been in seclusion, working tirelessly to break through to the Ninth Realm. But advancing to the Ninth Realm meant facing severe trials of wind and fire. In his weakened state, he was unable to resist when someone ambushed him with a vial of sinister spirit water, taking over his body.

His soul had been violently ejected from his body, and in a panicked, weakened state, he sought refuge in the Five Dragons Secret Realm.

Since the Secret Realm was his own creation, its mountains and landscapes all designed by him, he found it easier to hide within its depths.

With his eyes closed, memories of the events during his retreat flooded back to him. Whoever took over his body clearly had no good intentions.

Who knew what that intruder planned to do with it?

Qi Xianqing gazed at the Sect Leader's flickering soul in the shadows, her brows furrowing slightly.

Yan Jue had been right.

If this was truly the Sect Leader's soul, it confirmed that the current Sect Leader had been possessed.

No wonder that day at the Myriad Treasures Fort, when Master had used the Soul Calling Banner to seek out the Sect Leader's soul, it hadn't shown any sign of his soul being completely destroyed. Instead, it indicated that the Sect Leader's soul was within Five Dragons Sect.

It led Master to believe the Sect Leader hadn't been possessed.

The Sect Leader opened his eyes again and looked at Qi Xianqing with a hint of embarrassment.

Once a powerful cultivator at the Eighth Realm, his aura of authority had completely disappeared now that he was a mere soul.

Mu Zhongzi's floating, footless soul wavered unsteadily, and it wouldn't take much for even the smallest creature to shatter him—if not for Yan Jue holding back the little black creature, who was eager to gulp him down in one bite.

The Sect Leader hesitated. "Xianqing, how are things in Five Dragons Sect?"

If the intruder had sinister intentions, then surely the sect would have already fallen under his control while the Sect Leader's soul wandered aimlessly.

At this thought, the Sect Leader's face grew slightly pale.

Qi Xianqing lowered her eyes respectfully. "To answer you, Master Uncle, Five Dragons Sect is well. The team competition is currently underway."

If not for the competition opening the Secret Realm, they wouldn't have encountered the Sect Leader here.

While everything appeared calm on the surface, Qi Xianqing was aware that still waters often run deep, and something significant might be brewing beneath this tranquility.
