Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 196 I'll see how you die

A chorus of shouts immediately erupted in the Lingyun Hall.

Mu Yunhe trembled with rage and exclaimed, "You madman!"

He looked at the elders in the hall and said with deep sorrow, "Since Zhou Qing entered the Qingyun Sect, he has stirred up a mess in the sect. No one in the sect has had a day of peace. I request the sect leader to severely punish Zhou Qing and not let him continue to be so arrogant."

The sect leader looked at him and smiled, "Oh, what do you think is the best way to punish him?"

Mu Yunhe said, "Cancele his cultivation, strip him of his formation, and imprison him in the Cliff of the Living Dead. Only in this way can we quell the resentment in the sect."

"Ah!"

Mu Zhuosha let out a cold laugh.

Xu Jingfeng glanced at her and said, "Zhuo Sha, my dear niece, are you going to disregard public anger and insist on protecting him?"

Mu Zhuosha scoffed, "Xu Jingfeng, who is the source of public anger? Where is the public anger? I am also a member of the Qingyun Sect. Why don't I feel angry? I only think it was good that they killed so few people."

"However, I won't defend him. You guys are really as stupid as donkeys, still thinking that Zhou Qing needs someone to protect him."

Xu Jingfeng frowned slightly.

Zhou Qing tapped the table a few times to attract everyone's attention and said, "Alright, let's stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point, shall we?"

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yunhe and the other three family heads, and sneered, "Stripping me of my formation, I'm afraid that's your real intention, isn't it?"

"As for the life and death of mortal royalty, who cares about them?"

"Mu Yunhe, Lü Cenzhong, Fang Dalin, Xu Jingtian, I originally wanted to play with you guys a little longer, but since we've come this far, there's nothing wrong with deciding the winner early."

"Do you gentlemen know that your families are now facing certain death?"

Mu Yunhe was taken aback. He exchanged glances with the other three family heads, none of them understanding Zhou Qing's meaning.

Zhou Qing took out a jade tablet from his pocket and said, "Do you all know what this is?"

The contents of the jade plaque were indiscernible from its appearance, so no one knew its contents.

Zhou Qing didn't expect them to answer, so he said to himself, "This is an anti-Qing and restoration of Ming formation."

He glanced at everyone's faces and, seeing that they hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem, continued, "This array tablet is more than ten times more powerful than those currently sold on the market. Its effective period is not three days, but ten days, and the price is the same as those array tablets on the market."

"I have already completed the engraving of this array plate, and it will be sent to shops throughout the Qingyun Sect in a few days."

At this point, he walked up to Mu Yunhe and the other family heads, stared at them, and said, "When the time comes, I'll see how you die."

The heads of the families immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

The elders in the sect whose interests were tied to those of the four patriarchs also changed color.

Mu Yunhe said sternly, "Are you trying to trick me?"

Zhou Qing sneered, "Have I ever lied about the formation?"

Mu Yunhe immediately fell silent.
The hearts of the other family heads and elders also sank.

Lu Qingzhu felt that familiar sense of powerlessness once again. Whenever they fought against Zhou Qing, they would always end up tasting this feeling.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he said, "You had this formation from the very beginning, didn't you? You deliberately gave us a defective one, all for today!"

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "You're quite clever."

This is tantamount to acknowledging Lü Qingzhu's statement.

The four family heads and all the elders turned pale. Not only the elders whose interests were tied to the four families, but even those elders who remained neutral or even slightly biased towards Zhou Qing, such as Jiang Renqing and Xuan Zhe, felt a chill in their hearts.

It was two years ago that the four major families tricked Zhou Qing out of his anti-Qing and restoration-Ming formation while the formation court was in seclusion.

Zhou Qing was just a newcomer to the Qingyun Sect at the time, but he was already plotting to deal with those in power within the sect, and he actually succeeded.

At the time, people thought that Zhou Qing was too naive and failed to see the intentions of the four major families, which is why he easily handed over the formation.

It now appears that the four major families have fallen into Zhou Qing's trap.

Such wicked and unpredictable thoughts are enough to send chills down one's spine.

The elders in Lingyun Hall all shared the same feeling as Lü Qingzhu:
Zhou Qing is invincible!

He always has a backup plan, ready to deliver a fatal blow just when you think you're about to win.

The crowd even felt a sense of absurdity; even if they managed to tear Zhou Qing to pieces one day, no one could guarantee that it wasn't part of Zhou Qing's plan.

Faced with such an enemy, no one can maintain their fighting spirit.

Zhou Qing continued, "Four patriarchs, you've recently spent a lot of money purchasing soft black jade and hiring array masters, haven't you?"

"When the shopkeepers received the array plaques from you, they had already prepaid for them. Now that my array plaques are being launched, the array plaques on the market will immediately become worthless. For the same price, the function is dozens of times stronger than yours. Who would still buy your array plaques?"

"Just wait for the shop owners to come to your door demanding payment. Hopefully, you still have enough money to pay them back. Otherwise, well, you should know better than me what the shop owners who were originally on your side will do then."

With each sentence Zhou Qing spoke, the expressions of the family heads and elders grew increasingly grim, until they were completely disoriented.

Seeing that everyone was too exhausted to pursue his matter any further, Zhou Qing smiled, bowed to the sect leader, and then left Zichen Palace.

For some reason, before leaving Lingyun Palace, he seemed to see a hint of gratified smile on the face of the sect leader.

This left Zhou Qing feeling very puzzled.

To be honest, the person he couldn't understand the most in the sect was this sect leader.

He has stirred up quite a storm in the past two years, but the sect leader seems to have had no effect whatsoever, whether positive or negative.

According to Mu Zhuosha, the sect leader likes to play the balancing act, but given the current situation, if the sect leader really wanted to maintain balance, he should have expressed his support for the four major families just now.

Zhou Qing was even prepared to reveal more of his strength.

But the sect leader did nothing, and in the end, he even saw a gratified smile.

What is this old guy thinking?
Regardless of his intentions, it didn't seem to be detrimental to him at the moment, so Zhou Qing had no choice but to let it be.

As long as I steadily increase my strength, other people's thoughts will have no effect on me.

Back at Ziyun Mountain, just after passing through the bamboo forest, Zhou Qing saw Yuan Hongying standing at the door.

"Junior sister, have you been waiting long?"

Zhou Qing smiled.

Yuan Hongying hurriedly stepped forward, bowed deeply to him, and said, "On behalf of my father and the people of Xinzheng, I thank you, Senior Brother, for upholding justice."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "You got the news so quickly."

Yuan Hongying said excitedly, "We have a crane at home that is intelligent and can quickly travel between the sects. Just now, my father sent a message saying that the Great Liang is preparing to withdraw its troops."
