My Master Knows It All

877: 246 877: 246 At Elder Xu’s home, the three Lee boys arrived joyously, only to leave with faces full of disappointment.

Miss Qiao had unexpectedly encountered their young master!

Therefore, Miss Qiao would definitely need to take care of their young master and could no longer go to her own home, so he had no choice but to leave.

Although Miss Qiao had found her young master, and he was happy for her, he feared there was no chance for him.

Cao Zhen returned quickly, back to the room Elder Xu had previously prepared for Qiao Jingyao.

Just after entering the room, Qiao Jingyao immediately asked with surprise, “Peak Master Cao, how did you come to be here?”

Her current state was extremely poor; had she encountered another cultivator, her first concern would have been her safety.

But encountering Cao Zhen made her feel much more relieved than she would have felt with others.

After all, Cao Zhen was the chosen State Preceptor of the dynasty; she believed that if Cao Zhen were a bloodthirsty person, even if he had become the champion of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty martial arts competition, the Grand Preceptor would not have allowed him to become a State Preceptor.

Moreover, she could feel the inherent kindness in Cao Zhen.

When they had first fought, after her defeat, Cao Zhen had even given her a pill.

But now, Peak Master Cao…

No, that should be Sect Leader Cao now, what was he doing here?

Previously, there had been the appearance of Peerless Relics; with Sect Leader Cao’s capabilities, shouldn’t he be at those relics?

Such relics, which caused Heavenly Phenomena and were visible from all around the world, should be what he was contending for.

“I…” Cao Zhen opened his mouth, but coughed up a bright red blood.

His injuries were too severe, and even after consuming a pill, he could not recover any time soon.

“Sect Leader Cao…

your injuries…” Qiao Jingyao was shocked once again.

She had already seen that Cao Zhen had injuries, but she had not realized the extent of his injuries was so severe.

Cao Zhen was the champion of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty martial arts competition, yet who could have injured him to such an extent?

Or perhaps it was not one person who had inflicted such heavy injuries, but he had encountered an ambush by numerous experts?

Cao Zhen did not immediately answer Qiao Jingyao, but instead asked her, “You also have injuries; how were you injured?

And, why are you here?

Not in the Guardian Immortal Dynasty?”

On hearing this, Qiao Jingyao’s face showed a trace of hatred as she said, “I am here because my Immortal Sect no longer exists.”

“No longer exists?” Cao Zhen recalled having heard about various minor sects being attacked by Demon Sects and asked seriously, “Was it the work of a Demon Sect?”

“Yes, a Demon Sect!” Qiao Jingyao spoke coldly, “Those people from the Demon Sect stormed into our sect and annihilated it completely, leaving only me to escape.

My vendetta against the Demon Sect is irreconcilable.

After escaping, I had thought to seek out the disciples of the Grand Preceptor, to join together with them to annihilate the people of the Demon Sect.

However, the disciples of the Grand Preceptor also had unpredictable movements, so I began to kill those from the Demon Sect alone, and somehow, I ended up here.

Later, I realized that this country was somewhat special.”

Qiao Jingyao paused slightly and lowered her voice: “Qili Country is just a small country; it cannot even be called a dynasty.

It survives only between the cracks of several other dynasties, and this country does not have any significant Immortal Sects.

Yet, I found several Golden Core Stage cultivators here.

Moreover, several of these were in the late phase of the Golden Core Stage.

Under normal circumstances, this country should not have so many late Golden Core Stage cultivators, and these individuals also acted mysteriously, heading towards a particular place; out of curiosity, I followed them.

As a result, I discovered a large group of Golden Core Stage cultivators, all of whom belonged to the Demon Sect — this place, is a lair of the Demon Sect!”

Cao Zhen’s eyes immediately widened as he looked at Qiao Jingyao in surprise, “Is it the lair of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, or the Red Refinery Demon Sect?”

“I don’t know,” Qiao Jingyao shook her head and sighed, “There were too many of them, and alone, I was no match for them, so I left temporarily, planning to capture an isolated person to interrogate.

Although I managed to capture a lone individual, that person chose death rather than reveal anything about their situation.

Before I could capture a second person, perhaps due to that person or perhaps just bad luck, I encountered one of their experts.

Although I ultimately killed the opponent, I was gravely injured myself.

I fled here and was then saved by Elder Xu.”

“I see, but whether this place is a lair of the Red Refinery Demon Sect or the Sun and Moon Demon Sect is indeed important, but it is not the most important thing,” Cao Zhen nodded slightly, looking at Qiao Jingyao and said, “Because there are other forces behind them.”

“Other forces?” Qiao Jingyao was taken aback.

Both the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the Red Refinery Demon Sect were forces comparable to the top ten Immortal Sects.

Now Cao Zhen was telling her that behind the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the Red Refinery Demon Sect, there was yet another powerful entity.

Cao Zhen nodded and explained, “Yes, not only your sect has been attacked, but our Hundred Peaks Sect was also attacked.”

Qiao Jingyao nodded slightly, speaking softly, “I am aware of that, I heard it was a combined attack by the Sun and Moon Demon Sect and the Great Lai Dynasty on the Hundred Peaks Sect.”

Although she had been alone, constantly killing those from the Demon Sect, the attack on the Hundred Peaks Sect was a major event that had already spread; how could she possibly not know about it.
