Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 167 Ambush
They must be taught a lesson that is profound enough to make them understand that even if Mu Zhuosha and the others are all transferred away, they are not easy to deal with.

This completely dissuaded them from having any intention of plotting against them.

After a brief discussion, Zhou Qing headed towards Ziyun Mountain.

He went straight to Wang Xiaohu's house and asked, "Do you have a way to contact that female cultivator?"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "She gave me a paper crane as a message."

As he spoke, he took a paper crane out of his pocket and handed it to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing looked down and found that it was a common old-fashioned paper crane. The principle was to use an array to record the route so that the paper crane could follow the route to find the other party's address.

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Perfect timing. Tell her right away that you're going to see her tonight and will give her the talisman array diagram then."

Wang Xiaohu's eyes widened instantly, and he said, "No way!"

"This is such a big business deal, how can we give it to outsiders?"

"Of course I know it's wrong. Do you really think I'm going to give it to her?"

Zhou Qing said with a laugh.

Wang Xiaohu patted his forehead, thinking to himself, "What kind of brain do I have? Is it possible that Brother Zhou Qing is less clear-headed than me?"

He understood that Zhou Qingge must have another plan, so he followed the instructions, recorded the information with a paper crane, activated the paper crane, and released it out of the window.

What's the next step?

Wang Xiaohu asked.

Zhou Qing said, "Tell me the female cultivator's address in detail. You don't need to worry about anything else. You stay at home tonight and are not allowed to go anywhere."

"I see."

Wang Xiaohu assured him.

Zhou Qing got the address from Wang Xiaohu and then left.

……

Qingyun Market is located more than 80 miles east of Ziyun Mountain.

That is the foothills of the Phoenix Tail Mountains, where the mountain slopes down abruptly, and in front lies a vast plain.

Qingyun Market is located at the foot of the mountain.

The home of the female cultivator Wu Xingyun, which Wang Xiaohu mentioned, was even closer to the foot of the mountain than the market; it was a quiet little courtyard at the bottom of the hillside.

Wu Xingyun had been anxiously waiting for news from Wang Xiaohu. When she saw the paper crane flying tremblingly towards her, she quickly caught it. After deciphering the message inside, her face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly ran towards the market.

The Qingyun Sect naturally also has its own shops in the market, which are operated by the Lü family.

In a private room on the third floor of the shop, Lu Cenzhong, the head of the Lu family, and Wei Xing, the head of the Wei family, were drinking tea and chatting.

Wei Xing has been staying here recently, waiting for news from Wu Xingyun so he can carry out his plan.

"Zhou Qing is a cautious person. Could he choose to stay in seclusion and wait for Mu Zhuosha and the others to return before taking action?"

Wei Xing was somewhat worried.

Their plan was not without flaws. If Zhou Qing heard that someone wanted to get the talisman from Wang Xiaohu and chose to remain still and wait for Mu Zhuosha and the others to return before taking action, there would be nothing they could do.

Lu Cenzhong laughed and said, "What does it matter? If it doesn't work this time, there will be a next time. They can't possibly dodge every time. We can try countless times without success, but if they fail just once, they will lose everything."

Wei Xing said, "I don't want to deal with them again and again."

Lu Cenzhong said, "Elder Wei, a good hunter must be patient. As long as you are patient enough, there is no prey that you cannot catch."

"On the contrary, if we are too hasty, we may scare away our prey."

Wei Xing ignored him and thought of another problem, saying, "If Zhou Qing comes to investigate, he may bring Yu Liangmou, Qingyuan, and Cheng Feipeng with him. These are the only people he can trust to be deployed in the sect. I'll have to trouble you to stop them then." Lü Cenzhong laughed and said, "Don't worry, among these people, only Yu Liangmou is a bit troublesome. Qingyuan and Cheng Feipeng are not worth mentioning."

As the two were talking, Wu Xingyun quickly came up the stairs.

She first gave a slight greeting to Lü Cenzhong, then looked at Wei Xing and said, "Grandpa, Wang Xiaohu sent word that he will come to see me tonight and will bring the array diagram with him."

Wei Xing's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lü Cenzhong excitedly, asking, "What do you think?"

Lü Cenzhong smiled and said, "I share the same idea as Elder Wei."

Wei Xing sneered, "Our people have already received the news that Wang Xiaohu went to see Zhou Qing early this morning. He looked very serious when he went, but his expression had softened considerably when he returned home from Zhou Qing's house."

"He must have already told Zhou Qing about Xingyun. This message must be Zhou Qing's idea, to keep Xingyun calm and even lure the person behind Xingyun to show up so that he can take them all down in one fell swoop."

Lu Cenzhong laughed and said, "He doesn't know that this time our two family heads will take action personally, and the forces he can mobilize are completely powerless against us."

As they spoke, the two family heads suddenly paused and turned their gaze toward the entrance to the stairs.

"It seems I arrived just in time."

Lü Qingzhu walked up the steps.

"Qingzhu, what brings you here?"

Lü Cenzhong laughed.

Lü Qingzhu is his nephew, and is currently the most successful disciple of the Lü family in the sect. If it weren't for Zhou Qing's interference, the Lü family would already have an elder.

Therefore, the Lü family also hated Zhou Qing to the core.

Lü Qingzhu said, "I was worried, so I came to check on things."

Wei Xing shook his head and said, "What's there to worry about? There are so many of us, surely we can handle a junior like him?"

Lu Qingzhu was somewhat wary of Zhou Qing because in the past two years, he had accomplished far too many things that were originally impossible.

That's why he wanted to come and oversee things personally, so that if anything went wrong, he could intervene in time to get things back on track.

Of the three, Lü Qingzhu had the highest cultivation level, having recently broken through to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, while Wei Xing and Lü Cenzhong were only at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

Lü Qingzhu thought to herself that with him in charge, she could handle any unexpected events.

He laughed and said, "It's always better to be prepared."

Wei Xing said no more.

The three chatted and drank tea while waiting for nightfall.

As the sun began to set in the west, Wei Xing stood up, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and said, "You two can make your own arrangements. I'm off."

Er Lü laughed and said, "I wish Old Wei a successful journey."

Wei Xing and Wu Xingyun went to the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, ready to welcome the visitors at any time.

Lü Cenzhong and Lü Qingzhu went to the open field outside the courtyard, keeping a close eye on the movements around the courtyard.

It quickly became completely dark, but the person they were waiting for never arrived. Even in the dead of night, no one came out from the direction of Ziyun Mountain.

Lu Cenzhong and the other man couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"Could it be that he's sensed something and isn't planning to show up tonight?"

Lu Cenzhong said, his eyes fixed on the small courtyard.

Lu Qingzhu also felt puzzled and said, "Since he sent that message, it means he has made up his mind to take action and should not change his mind easily. Let's wait patiently."

Lü Cenzhong nodded and said nothing more.
