Chapter 395: Chapter 159 Notes on the Entry Above Senior Sister Pei Yan’s Head (6k)_3
At this moment, even Yan Xiaohu felt somewhat embarrassed, but he didn’t show any signs of suspicion.
Because he knew the fourth brother too well. Normally, he wouldn’t act so recklessly; yet his recent actions seemed so abrupt and bizarre.
They were clearly planning to deal with the Blood Bone Old Ghost together, so why did he suddenly attack one of his own?
At this point, Zhou Qing awkwardly scratched his head and then said, "Well, the injury is done anyway. Elder sister, take a look; isn’t it true that even spiritual power can’t stop the bleeding?"
Pei Yan nodded and began to channel spiritual power to stop the bleeding, soon her face showed an astonished expression.
Indeed it was true!
After carefully inspecting, she found no other toxins.
No one noticed that Zhou Qing’s mouth couldn’t help but curl into a strange smirk as he then said, "When I deceived Song Yuan back then, it scared him out of his wits, making him continuously take antitoxic pills. That Blood Bone Old Ghost exaggerated the story, saying the bleeding couldn’t be stopped—it was all just to scare him."
Zhou Qing said with a laugh.
Fortunately, Sima Demoness’s memory was erased, after all, during tetanus, it directly pierced through her abdomen.
Whether the bleeding could be stopped was something she knew better than anyone.
"By the way, there’s something I’m really curious about. How did you trap Sima Demoness into such a situation a year ago?" Pei Yan asked again.
I thought you weren’t curious; you’re getting preemptive!
Before Zhou Qing could think of a response, Yan Xiaohu suddenly spoke.
"I’m curious too. Taking advantage of this opportunity, tell us. By the way, fourth brother, straighten your back before telling, Master asked me to supervise you continuously."
Zhou Qing looked at Yan Xiaohu, somewhat surprised but quickly understood what was happening.
The third senior brother truly had a keen eye for detail amidst his boldness.
He immediately straightened his back and explained to everyone, "There’s a poison sore on my back that hasn’t healed yet, thanks to the third senior brother’s supervision."
Upon hearing Zhou Qing’s words, Yan Xiaohu immediately received the signal and prepared subtly.
If the fourth brother was startled earlier, it would prove that he was overthinking.
But the fourth brother followed his lead seamlessly, which already indicated something.
Did he notice something unusual or scent something odd?
Being this close, he didn’t even dare transmit sound.
Could it be—
Yan Xiaohu inadvertently glanced at Pei Yan and Shi Zhen, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Pei Yan, Shi Zhen, and Lei Luo all looked at Zhou Qing with curiosity.
Zhou Qing coughed dryly and said, "The battle was fierce that day. You’ll never imagine what I exactly did. Guess why I asked Master to erase her memory?"
The few of them shook their heads.
Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "How about this? Since we’re idle anyway, I’ll arrange a model for you guys to see. Perfect timing, when we face the Blood Bone Old Ghost, we can use the same strategy, saving time and effort, how’s that?"
"Great, great!" Shi Zhen was the first to agree.
Currently she was only at the initial Nascent Soul Realm. To be honest, participating in the surrounding attack of a Nascent Soul Great Perfection made her feel uncertain.
She wasn’t afraid of dying; she was worried about dragging everyone down.
Lei Luo nodded repeatedly, and Yan Xiaohu quickly echoed.
Immediately, Zhou Qing said, "Since everyone agrees, it’s easier. It’s actually an array with considerable power. Later, I’ll set up a simple model; everyone must remember your position, especially the array eye. Once it’s destroyed, the entire array collapses."
"And during the setup, I’ll describe a detail by detail scene from when we fought that vile Sima Demoness, it was quite amusing!"
At the end, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but laugh heartily.
Pei Yan also laughed along, though Zhou Qing felt a chill running up his spine despite being in close proximity, he still feigned nonchalance, looking at everyone.
"I’m still missing a few materials, does anyone have something that can block distress signals?" Zhou Qing looked at everyone and asked.
Lei Luo was puzzled; he wondered why this was needed for a small model setup.
Before he could speak, Yan Xiaohu quickly handed over two talisman papers.
"I got these from the exchange hall; costly, but they can last up to an hour!" Yan Xiaohu said.
Zhou Qing’s eyes brightened.
The third senior brother was indeed well-prepared.
"I don’t need it; third senior brother, you keep it. After all, it’s just a simulation. This thing is mainly to prevent the Blood Bone Old Ghost from calling for help during our ambush. Activate it in advance!" Zhou Qing said with a laugh.
Yan Xiaohu instantly understood, but still said, "Bah, with us teaming up, we don’t need this. I guarantee the battle will be finished before reinforcements come, right?"
Lei Luo was full of confidence, while Shi Zhen felt somewhat anxious.
Pei Yan glanced at the still-bleeding wound, then smiled and said, "Don’t worry, once we start, he won’t have a chance."
Zhou Qing felt a sinking feeling but still feigned calm, "For safety reasons, does anyone have something that can reduce battle fluctuations? Although the Beimang Mine is remote, it’s still near the main road of Lingyun Mansion."
"So many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in battle will inevitably attract others’ attention. If someone takes advantage, we’ll be unlucky."
Shi Zhen said, "Is there indeed someone who would dare to attack us?"
"Certainly possible. We’ll all be injured to some extent. Don’t forget, besides our five major sects, there are thousands of small factions in the Eastern Domain, many of whom have Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation as well."
