Someone's here?
Huo Ying was startled. He hadn't sensed anyone at all. His instinctive reaction was that Chen Chu was bluffing. But at this point, why would Chen Chu still need to bluff? They were the ones who needed to bluff.
So there really was someone.
Who was it?
This wasn't too hard to guess, because there were only fourteen people in the entire North Style Academy, or even the entire continent, who could enter the Seven Elements Relief Center. The seven academicians and the seven first disciples.
Perhaps Huo Ying was the fifteenth person, so when he easily walked into the customization, he was somewhat surprised, but more touched. This meant that the mark he left behind when he was the first disciple of Alioth Peak had never been erased.
This was against the rules, and it wasn't easy for such a thing to happen to Li Yaotian, who had always been serious and restrained. And he still did it in the end. When Huo Ying gave up on him, he didn't give up on Huo Ying. He hoped that Huo Ying would return here one day.
He had never said this before. But when Huo Ying easily walked into the customization, he immediately experienced it.
He was already prepared to sacrifice everything to help his teacher activate the Seven Elements Relief Center.
In the end, Chen Chu ruined everything, and even mercilessly tried to kill Li Yaotian. Although the two who were seriously injured felt grief and indignation, they were powerless. After putting in all their effort to complete such a scheme, but still failing, they were at their wits' end.
At this moment, a fourth person appeared in the customization!
Seeing Chen Chu's surprised expression, this clearly wasn't arranged by him. So no matter who this person was, he should be a helper, right?
Chen Chu looked into the darkness, and so did Huo Ying.
Even now, he still couldn't sense anything from there, until a sigh came from there.
"What a powerful insight." After that sigh came a voice, "I was just anxious for a moment, and you actually sensed it immediately."
"It's you!" Chen Chu's expression changed. He already knew who the person was.
Huo Ying had been in the five academies for a long time, and felt that he should have heard this voice before. But for a moment, he couldn't match it with those who could enter the customization center.
Who?
While he was still curious, a figure gradually walked out from the darkness.
"Jin Qi?" Huo Ying was very surprised. Jin Qi could still walk here, which meant that the first disciple mark he left here hadn't disappeared. But shouldn't he be locked up in Megrez Peak? Do I have to take the blame for being robbed after the Seven Stars Meeting? Why would he appear here? Huo Ying did not communicate with the others about this, so he did not know that Jin Qi had been rescued long ago.
"Senior Brother Huo Ying." Jin Qi walked out of the darkness and bowed to Huo Ying. He then looked at the unconscious Li Yaotian. Finally, he stared at Chen Chu.
Chen Chu looked calm, but Jin Qi's appearance was clearly outside of his plans. Previously, when he returned to Alioth Peak, he did not find Huo Ying. After pretending to leave, he returned to the Seven Elements Disaster Relief hub to wait for his prey.
This was because his apprehension towards Huo Ying was not because of Huo Ying's own strength, but because Huo Ying could activate the Seven Elements Relief Great Order. This was something they were very worried about. Therefore, instead of searching for Huo Ying, it was better to wait here and prevent him from activating the Seven Elements Relief Great Order. If Huo Ying was just doing something else, Chen Chu would not have to deal with it.
This strategy of not changing was indeed brilliant. He knew that the North Style Academy would definitely think of a way to activate the Seven Elements Relief Great Order if they encountered such a situation. Hiding here was equivalent to taking preventive measures.
Everything went as he expected. He patiently waited for someone to activate the Seven Elements Relief Great Order. But he did not expect that there would be two of them. Li Yaotian and Huo Ying actually came to the Seven Elements Disaster Relief hub together.
Chen Chu had absolute confidence against Huo Ying, who was in poor health. But against Li Yaotian. Even if there was a chance to launch a sneak attack, he did not dare to act rashly.
But very soon, he realized that Li Yaotian's condition was not much better than Huo Ying's. He did not even need to dodge. Therefore, he snatched the Feather Satellite and interrupted the activation of the Seven Elements Relief Great Order. Just like that, he appeared in front of the two of them openly.
There was no need to hide.
It did not matter what role he played in the North Style Academy in the future. Because the two in front of him would soon be dead. He was not worried that anything that happened here would spread.
Everything was going as smoothly as he had expected. Even if Li Yaotian and Huo Ying joined hands to create some trouble for him, their terrible condition was still their Achilles' heel. Huo Ying's moving maze could not be constructed any more complicated and was seen through by Chen Chu in just a few glances. Li Yaotian's disappearing end was also full of loopholes. Although it delayed Chen Chu's Insight's feedback, everything was no longer a problem after he received the information he had sensed.
And then there was the next one. To Chen Chu, killing the two of them was as easy as lifting a finger.
But now, another person had appeared, and this person was actually one of the seven disciples, Jin Qi.
How could he not notice? His Insight actually did not sense that there was another person in the barrier?
Chen Chu pretended to be calm, but he could not completely conceal his panic and astonishment. His wishful thinking had been completely disrupted at this moment.
"It's strange that you didn't notice me, right?" Jin Qi smiled. He was as relaxed as when Chen Chu first faced Li Yaotian and Huo Ying. His face was filled with the joy of victory.
He did not wait for Chen Chu to reply and gave the answer himself. He flicked his left hand.
What?
Chen Chu's Insight quickly sensed, and confirmed that the object was harmless. But he still carefully waved the divine weapon in his hand, and used Pulling Guidance to catch the object that Jin Qi flicked over, bringing it to his eyes.
What was stuck to the tip of the bamboo was only a medicinal pill, grey and unremarkable.
"Concealment Pill." Chen Chu recognized it.
Megrez Peak's Medicinal Kitchen used all kinds of rare herbs to make all kinds of medicinal cuisine. Medicine for treating illnesses and injuries was only a part of it. There were many medicinal pills and foods with other uses.
Concealment Pill was one of them. It could help the xiuzhe conceal their soul power and aura.
But this kind of medicinal pill would not take effect upon consumption. It still required the xiuzhe to circulate the corresponding soul power to completely achieve the desired effect.
And this method of circulating soul power belonged to the digestive system of the Esper Ability. Megrez Peak abounded with experts of this line. Academician Chen Jiu was one of them. His first disciple Jin Qi was also one of them.
Because it still required someone to control the soul power, Jin Qi, who had always been waiting for the best opportunity, couldn't help but reveal anxiety and worry when he saw Li Yaotian on the verge of death. It caused his soul power to lose stability, and was instantly detected by Chen Chu.
