Hou Yanqing's Murderous Intent
Buzz!
The instant the array was activated, the large array set up by a million source cores shook violently and shot out a thick beam of light that shot straight at the glowing hole.
The void shook as the glowing hole lit up and emitted a dazzling white light.
Dong!
It was as if a certain barrier had been completely pierced through. After the light hole erupted with dazzling white light, under the illumination of the white light, the originally blurry light hole slowly turned into a bright white tunnel entrance.
As soon as the entrance appeared, a wave of spatial power surged out. Then, the passageway seemed to be elongated as it extended into the depths.
Success!
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the glowing hole turn into a spatial passageway.
Now that the spatial passageway had been successfully opened, all they had to do was wait for it to connect to the outside world and complete their mission.
When they thought about the possibility of obtaining source crystals as a reward after completing this mission, everyone present, especially the genius disciples like Hou Yanqing, was overjoyed.
Buzz!
The void shook slightly again before the spatial passageway seemed to stop changing completely.
Everyone naturally knew what was going on.
This was the spatial passageway that had extended out. Now that it had connected to the entrance of the outside world, it would soon be connected to the outside world.
However, right at this moment, Qin Shaofeng's expression abruptly changed and became extremely unsightly.
The instant the spatial passageway extended to the entrance of the outside world and connected with it, Little Ball's urgent voice rang out in his mind.
"Quick! Great Demon King, make them stop! I can sense that there are no human auras at the entrance of the outside world. It's Demons! There are countless Demons at the entrance of the outside world! "
What?
Demons?
Qin Shaofeng's heart skipped a beat. He immediately felt that something was amiss.
Demons were at the entrance of the outside world. How could this be?
Now that the array had been opened to connect to the outside world, what awaited them were Demons? This was too much of a joke!
However, Little Ball's voice rang out in Qin Shaofeng's mind again.
"Oh no, it's too late. The entrance has been connected, and the Demons have already arrived. Quick, destroy the array! This will at least stop the Demons for a while!"
Damn it!
Qin Shaofeng cursed in his heart. Without any hesitation, he made his move!
Whoosh!
Qin Shaofeng's body flashed as he arrived at the center of the array set up by a million source cores. Then, he moved his hands slightly.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Three loud dragon roars rang out, and lightning flashed. Three lightning dragons with powerful auras roared out and slammed into the core of the array.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three loud bangs were heard as the core of the array, which had been set up by a million source cores, was instantly blasted apart.
This large array was only used to reinforce the space passage. It did not have any defensive power, so Qin Shaofeng's Lightning Escape: Thunder Dragon directly destroyed the core of the array in an instant.
Weng!
The moment the core was destroyed, the pillar of light that shot out from the main formation instantly disappeared.
At the same time, the Space Tunnel that had been formed paused for a moment and then dissipated, turning back into the previous light hole.
However, compared to the beginning, the light hole was no longer as blurry as before. It was now a light hole entrance.
What is this?
Everyone was stunned when they saw the scene before them.
None of the people present had expected such a situation to occur.
The passage had already been completed and the powerhouses of the various great powers were about to enter, yet someone had suddenly destroyed the array. What was going on?
"Damn it! Do you know what you are doing, kid?"
"How dare you destroy the array! You must have a death wish!"
"Damn it! Which great power do you belong to? Do you have a death wish?"
"…"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Qin Shaofeng was instantly surrounded by a large number of figures.
If it hadn't been for the fact that everyone still had some sense and wanted to figure out what was going on, Qin Shaofeng would have already been killed by the crowd.
After everyone surrounded Qin Shaofeng, Hou Yanqing took a step forward with a gloomy expression. He looked at Qin Shaofeng with a gloomy expression and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Qin, what is the meaning of this? Do you know what you are doing? "
The leaders of the various great powers, who were about to speak up, immediately knew that the person who had destroyed the array was from the Divine Palace.
However, seeing that Hou Yanqing had stepped forward, they didn't say anything for the time being because they wanted to know what kind of explanation Hou Yanqing would give them.
Qin Shaofeng didn't show the slightest fear in the face of the murderous gazes around him. He glanced at Hou Yanqing and said, "Senior Brother Hou, I know that my actions have shocked all of you, but I have a reason!"
"A reason? What reason is there? Kid, don't talk nonsense! "
"That's right. If you destroy the array, how can you let in the seniors who are waiting outside?"
"Oh, could there be some kind of conspiracy behind this? After all, the Divine Abode is the strongest among all of us! "
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Indeed, because of the special Spiritual Bead, almost all of the Divine Palace disciples had entered the Saint Realm within a month after entering the Origin Crystal Space and comprehended their own Domain.
Now, except for Qin Shaofeng, Hou Yanqing and the other geniuses, all the disciples of the Divine Palace who had entered the Source Crystal Space had entered the Saint Realm and had comprehended their own domain. Some of the disciples with good aptitude had even raised their domain to the Second Heavenly Layer.
At this moment, there were more than 800 disciples on the Divine Palace's side, so their strength was naturally strong.
The other great powers weren't like the Divine Palace. They hadn't obtained the special spirit bead earlier, so they had lost many disciples.
After obtaining the spirit bead from Hou Yanqing, the great powers basically only had 500 to 600 disciples left. Some of the unlucky ones had less than 500 disciples left.
Therefore, from this point of view, the Divine Palace could be considered the strongest force.
At this moment, when someone suddenly said such a thing, it naturally aroused the suspicion of others.
For a moment, many people's gazes turned to Hou Yanqing, and they all began to have doubts in their hearts.
Could it be that this was really a self-directed scheme by the Divine Dwelling?
Damn it!
Hou Yanqing's expression changed slightly when he was stared at by countless suspicious gazes, especially those from the other great powers whose strength wasn't inferior to his own.
Hou Yanqing knew very well that if this matter wasn't handled properly, everyone in the Divine Palace would become the enemy of the other great powers. When that happened, things wouldn't be good.
Even though his domain had already reached the mid-stage of the Third Heavenly Layer, Hou Yanqing wasn't so arrogant as to think that he could single-handedly face several opponents who weren't as strong as him.
It seemed like he could only sacrifice Qin Shaofeng!
Hou Yanqing made a decision right away. Given the current situation, he would kill Qin Shaofeng to vent everyone's anger. Then, he would prove that he didn't know anything. This way, he would be able to more or less wash away any suspicions.
Besides, although the array formation had been destroyed, he had only lost some source cores, so he could still set up a new array formation.
Hou Yanqing believed that if he proposed to set up a new array formation, no one would suspect him.
What he needed to do now was kill Qin Shaofeng!
A murderous intent welled up in Hou Yanqing's heart as his gaze turned cold.
When he decided to kill Qin Shaofeng, Hou Yanqing didn't feel the slightest bit of sympathy. He was actually furious.
Damn Qin Shaofeng. You've caused so much trouble. Even death can't wipe out your crimes!
The moment Hou Yanqing made this decision, Qin Shaofeng sensed the murderous intent emanating from Hou Yanqing's body.
Cold laughter filled Qin Shaofeng's heart. This time, he finally understood Hou Yanqing's true nature.
At first, Qin Shaofeng had thought that even if Hou Yanqing was a hypocrite, as long as he didn't pose any threat to him, Qin Shaofeng would accept it even if Hou Yanqing used him to gain merit.
But now, Qin Shaofeng knew that Hou Yanqing was not only a hypocrite, but also a vicious and merciless person. He simply wouldn't remember the kindness of others!
Qin Shaofeng had helped Hou Yanqing make a great contribution, but at this moment, Hou Yanqing actually wanted to kill him. Qin Shaofeng had thoroughly seen Hou Yanqing's true nature.
Previously, Qin Shaofeng had remained silent because he wanted to see how Hou Yanqing would deal with the situation at hand.
Now that the result had been decided, Qin Shaofeng didn't intend to remain silent anymore. If he remained silent, Hou Yanqing would probably make a move.
As if he hadn't noticed Hou Yanqing's murderous intent at all, Qin Shaofeng didn't even look at Hou Yanqing. He just raised his head and glanced at everyone, then sneered.
"Conspiracy?"
Cold laughter filled Qin Shaofeng's mouth as he said, "I really admire your imagination. If my Divine Abode really wanted to make a conspiracy, why would my senior brother Hou tell you about the special spiritual bead?"
Qin Shaofeng's sudden question caused everyone to be slightly stunned.
He was right!
If this had really been a conspiracy, Hou Yanqing wouldn't have told them about the special spiritual bead at all.
Plus, if this had really been the case, there wouldn't have been many people left among the great factions.
Although the ultimate goal of collecting source cores was to gather one million, if one party was the strongest, 100,000 source cores could be used to set up a small array formation.
Although such an array formation could only stabilize a very limited space passage, as long as not many powerhouses entered, it wouldn't be a problem.
In fact, given the power of the Divine Abode, they could have collected 100,000 source cores and opened a space passage for the Divine Abode powerhouses to enter. Letting only the Divine Abode powerhouses enter to search for source crystals seemed like the best option.
When the time came, the Divine Abode would at most allow a few powerhouses from the other factions to enter on account of the fact that the great factions were working together.
In any case, the Divine Abode would still benefit in the end.
From this point of view, this conspiracy theory didn't hold water at all!
However, no one present knew that Hou Yanqing had really intended to do this at the very beginning. Even the geniuses from the various factions of the Divine Abode had suggested this.
This would maximize the benefits of the Divine Abode, so not exposing the existence of the spiritual beads was naturally the best choice.
However, Hou Yanqing had ultimately wanted to use a large number of spiritual beads to cultivate his own domain. Thus, he had used the excuse that there were too many people around and too many disciples of the Divine Abode had leaked the information to the other factions.
However, if the Divine Abode didn't want to, so what if this information was leaked?
In the end, Hou Yanqing had only done it for his own selfish desires!
Everyone calmed down a little when they heard Qin Shaofeng's words.
