One person: I was already fighting the Heavenly Master, but the system just came

Chapter 243 Wu Hou Qi Men
Half an hour later, Ding Peng disappeared into the darkness.

Only Wang Zhiyao was left in the trap, waiting for Ding Peng to come back and give her clothes.

The night fell like a huge piece of black silk, covering the camp softly yet impenetrably.

Ding Peng took advantage of the moonlight and sneaked back to the camp very lightly like a cat hiding in the shadows, heading straight for his own tent.

He carefully searched for the clothes he wanted to take, and when he was about to leave quietly, he bumped into Qin Jiaojiao unexpectedly.

The dim camp lights swayed gently in the breeze, casting an ambiguous light and shadow on Qin Jiaojiao's face.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a somewhat seductive smile, she stared straight at Ding Peng and said in a tender voice: "Hey, are you still busy so late? There is no one at my place now, and there are soft mats in the tent, which is much more comfortable than here..."

As she spoke, she deliberately moved closer, and the faint fragrance from her body wafted away.

When Ding Peng heard this, his expression suddenly became stern and his brows unconsciously frowned.

He took a small step back, unnoticeably widening the distance between them.

Looking at the clothes in his hands, Ding Peng couldn't help but think of teacher Wang Zhiyao's good figure.

Ding Peng said indifferently: "No, I have something else to do."

After saying this, he did not stay any longer, turned around and left quickly.

Only Qin Jiaojiao was left standing there, the smile on her face gradually froze.

Seeing Ding Peng reject her so straightforwardly, Qin Jiaojiao couldn't help but murmur in her heart. She crossed her arms over her chest, pouted her lips, and muttered softly, "Ding Peng is too abnormal today. Although he is not very enthusiastic towards me normally, he is not so cold. Humph, maybe he has another lover outside!"

Once this idea took root in her mind, it grew wildly like weeds.

So, as soon as Ding Peng turned around and left, Qin Jiaojiao followed him quietly.

She crouched down, trying her best to hide her figure in the darkness, her eyes fixed on Ding Peng's back in front of her.

But she didn't know that Ding Peng had already noticed that there was a little tail following him.

Ding Peng thought to himself that he didn't want to be entangled, so he quickened his pace and deliberately turned into some complicated paths.

After a while, Qin Jiaojiao found that Ding Peng's figure in front of her had disappeared. She looked around anxiously, but couldn't find anyone, so she could only stamp her feet on the spot.

At this time, Ding Peng had successfully arrived at Teacher Wang Zhiyao's residence.

He walked forward, handed the clothes in his hand to Wang Zhiyao, and said softly: "Teacher Wang, your clothes."

Wang Zhiyao took the clothes, forced an awkward smile on her face, and said, "Thank you..."

Then, the two left together.

Looking at Qin Jiaojiao, she found that not only had she lost Ding Peng, but she was also lost in this unfamiliar place.

It was pitch black all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects.

Qin Jiaojiao was extremely frightened and had no choice but to bite the bullet and grope forward, one step deep and one step shallow, all the while complaining about Ding Peng.

"Damn you Ding Peng, you actually left me here alone and went to look for another woman!!"

"You damn vixen! Don't let me find you again!"

On the other side, Chu Hao stood beside the Jade Spring, deep in thought.

Afterwards, Chu Hao stared at Yuquan for a few more seconds, then quickly formed seals with his hands.
The aura around his body began to surge violently as if being stirred by an invisible giant hand.

He let out a low roar, and the Qi in his body surged out like a tide, forming a visible vortex around him.

As the vortex spun faster and faster, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted by this powerful force.

Chu Hao's figure was looming in the whirlpool, his eyes flashed with determination, and he was muttering something. The voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying a mysterious and powerful power.

In a flash, the vortex suddenly shrank, and Chu Hao's figure disappeared with it, leaving only the grass and trees beside the Jade Spring that were blown to and fro by the strong wind, still proving that something unusual had just happened here.

And at the moment Chu Hao left, a figure stepped into Yuquan silently.

Those twinkling eyes had a chilling light.

After the figure stepped into Yuquan, he paused and slowly raised his head, as if he was feeling something. The air around him seemed to become a little colder because of the appearance of this figure.

Zhuge Heping walked slowly beside the Jade Spring, his nostrils slightly open, sniffing the air around him carefully.

A breeze blew by, carrying with it the fragrance of grass and trees and the unique water vapor of Yuquan, but he caught a glimpse of something vaguely strange from it.

He frowned, his face full of doubt, and murmured softly: "Strange, why did I always feel that there were other people here?"

As he spoke, he looked around warily, but there was nothing in sight except the swaying shadows of the trees.

After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Heping shook his head and decided not to dwell on the matter anymore.

He squatted slightly, leaned forward, stretched out his hand and slowly reached into the Jade Spring.

At first, his fingertips touched warm water, which was just the right temperature to dispel the chill in his body. But just when he was about to relax, something strange happened.

The originally warm spring water suddenly became icy cold, as if all the heat had been sucked away in an instant.

The chill spread rapidly along his arms like a sharp ice knife, freezing the muscles in his arms tense instantly and causing goose bumps to appear on his skin.

When Zhuge Heping sensed the strange chill in Yuquan, he immediately circulated the Qi in his body.

His eyes were closed tightly, and a faint golden light was spreading around his body. That was the Wu Hou Qimen Qi that he was practicing.

Wrapped in this Qi, he tried to resist the icy power that surged like a tide from the spring water.

However, things developed in an unexpected direction. As Zhuge Heping continued to practice, the icy force was not suppressed, but became even stronger.

The chill that originally came from his arms was now like a surging wave, overwhelming his entire body. He felt as if he was in an ice cellar, with every inch of his skin tightly wrapped in coldness.

Zhuge Heping was shocked. He never expected that the Wuhou Qimen, which he was so proud of, was so powerless in front of this mysterious icy force.

Zhuge Heping took a deep breath, trying to hold on, and even trying to find a way to break the power of ice.

Zhuge Heping suffered greatly under this strange icy power. He was shivering from the cold and his consciousness began to become a little fuzzy.

Zhuge Heping adjusted the frame of his glasses with his other hand, and suddenly a bold idea flashed in his mind.

He thought to himself, since the more he used his energy to resist, the stronger the icy force became, could it be that this force produced some special reaction with his Qi?
Perhaps changing his mindset and not forcing the confrontation would lead to a turnaround. Thinking of this, Zhuge Heping took a deep breath, endured the severe pain in his body, and slowly gathered the Wuhou Qimen power running through his body.

He carefully controlled every breath of Qi, like sheathing a sharp blade, hiding his own power tightly.

A miracle happened at this moment.

As he completely concealed the power of Wu Hou Qimen, the originally icy Yuquan seemed to be cast under a spell and stopped moving instantly.

The color of the colorful spring water gradually faded and slowly returned to its original clear and transparent state.

At the same time, the chill that made one's bone marrow ache quickly dissipated, replaced by a warm and gentle breath.

Zhuge Heping only felt a tingling sensation in his arm, and then a fresh spiritual energy slowly flowed into his body along his fingertips.

This spiritual energy was like a sweet rain after a long drought, nourishing his every limb.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and a long-lost look of relief appeared on his face.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yuquan, who had returned to normal, with doubts in his heart.

Zhuge Heping looked at Yuquan, which had returned to calm, and the doubts in his heart grew like weeds.

What on earth was that strange icy power just now?

Why did Yuquan return to normal after I concealed my Qi?

This series of questions swirled in his mind, making him feel uneasy.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to make a bold attempt - jumping into the Yuquan.

He took a deep breath, jumped, and landed steadily in the Jade Spring.

For a moment, water splashed everywhere, but strangely, the expected biting cold did not come.

The water of Yuquan was gentle and clear, gently wrapping his body, as if the horrific scene just now had never happened.

Zhuge Heping splashed around in the water for a few times, and after confirming that there was no danger, his doubts grew even more.

He couldn't suppress his curiosity and decided to use Wu Hou Qimen again.

He closed his eyes and circulated the Qi in his body. The familiar golden light slowly emerged around him again.

As Wu Hou's Qimen power began to operate, the water around him began to ripple slightly, but the mysterious icy power still did not appear.

Zhuge Heping slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

He stood up in the water and looked around. Yuquan was still as calm and peaceful as ever, as if nothing strange could break the tranquility.

He scratched his head and thought to himself, "What is going on? Could it be that the connection between the secret of Yuquan and my Wuhou Qimen will only be triggered under certain circumstances?"

With a heart full of questions, he decided to leave Yuquan first and then make long-term plans.

When Zhuge Heping returned to the camp, he immediately saw Chu Hao packing his bag. He walked up to him with a mysterious look on his face and said, "Chu Hao, I encountered some strange things at Yuquan today."

Chu Hao stopped what he was doing when he heard that. He looked up at Zhuge Heping with curiosity in his eyes. "Oh? What's the strange thing? Tell me about it."

Zhuge Heping stared at Chu Hao's eyes, trying to catch a hint of something strange in his expression.

Zhuge Heping approached Chu Hao and said slowly: "When I first arrived at Yuquan, the water suddenly became icy cold. I used Wuhou Qimen to resist, but the coldness became stronger and stronger. But when I collected the Qi, Yuquan returned to normal, and even spiritual energy drilled into my body. I jumped into the water to test it, but there was no reaction at first, and there was no reaction when I used the Qi. Don’t you think it’s strange?
Chu Hao knew that Zhuge Heping was testing him, but his expression remained calm.

Playing such childish tricks with Chu Hao? What a pity, he is not Chu Hao, he is Chu Yang.

Zhuge Heping is too naive to play tricks on a 300-year-old man.

Chu Hao deliberately showed a surprised expression: "Is there such a thing? It does sound weird. But there are many wonderful things in this world. Maybe Yuquan is hiding some unknown secrets."

Zhuge Heping narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a hint of meaning: "When I was there, I always felt that there were other people nearby. Could it be that someone had made some arrangements in advance?"

Chu Hao smiled and responded slowly: "I don't know about this. I have been in the camp today and have not been to Yuquan. If someone really did something wrong, what is his purpose?"

Seeing that Chu Hao's answer was flawless, Zhuge Heping was suspicious, but he couldn't find any flaws. He could only give up secretly and said, "Forget it. This matter is too strange. I will think about it slowly later."

Chu Hao nodded, knowing that the secret of Yuquan would probably have to remain hidden.

It’s not that I don’t want to say it, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

Chu Hao looked at Zhuge Heping with a look of concern and a bit of unquestionableness, and said: "You have been running around all day, and you have experienced the strange incident in Yuquan. You must be exhausted. Go wash your face quickly, have a good sleep, and recuperate. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."

Zhuge Heping was indeed feeling exhausted at the moment, and without thinking much, he nodded and turned to fetch water to wash his face.

After a while, Zhuge Heping came out with the water for washing his face and splashed it aside.

Chu Hao's gaze closely followed the splashed water. On the surface, he remained calm, but his eyes were as deep as a deep pool.

The water seemed to hide a secret that only he could understand. He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to capture some fleeting clue.

After a moment, the corners of Chu Hao's mouth slowly rose, revealing a meaningful smile.

This smile contained both the certainty that his prediction was correct and a bit of anticipation for what would happen next.

He didn't say a word, just stood there quietly, already thinking about his next plan in his mind.

Zhuge Heping was completely unaware of all this.

On the other side, Qin Jiaojiao was walking in the darkness, one step deep and one step shallow, full of regret and anxiety.

She was so focused on finding her way back that she didn't realize she had strayed from the right direction and was getting further and further away.

The night around her became thicker and thicker, like a huge black rag, wrapping her tightly.

The occasional chirping of insects now sounded like a symphony playing in my ears, getting louder and louder.

These sounds intertwined together, making her more and more upset. She couldn't help but speed up her pace, but with every step she took, the uneasiness in her heart increased.

Sweat rolled down her forehead. She reached out and wiped it, only to find that her palms were full of cold sweat.

"Where the hell is this place? I'm so fed up." Qin Jiaojiao couldn't help but curse under her breath.
