Chapter 205: Chapter 135: Tie Him Up! (Part 2) He stood up without any hesitation:
"Let’s go."
Si Ye followed closely behind, only to see Gentle right after stepping out the door.
Meeting each other’s gaze, Gentle showed a stiff smile:
"Third Brother, where are you going?"
"...Catching a ghost in a jar."
Chu Qing was momentarily speechless:
"Are you going?"
"Going!"
Gentle nodded without any hesitation.
Chu Qing didn’t stop her, and though Si Ye wanted to say something, seeing Chu Qing agreed, he kept quiet.
The ambush had long been prepared, and when Chu Qing and Gentle arrived, at least on the surface, there were no traces of anyone hidden.
However, for a master, such hiding means little.
Gentle only needed to sniff slightly to know where people were nearby.
While Chu Qing, with a twitch of his ears, also understood most of it.
The reason for choosing such an ambush was, firstly, to startle the snake, and secondly, to lure it out.
The letter from Cao Qiupu mentioned that the person’s martial arts shouldn’t be weak, and even Hua Meiren on the Seventy-two Evil Extermination List felt the pressure facing him.
In such a situation, one cannot hope that the other party is unaware there is an ambush here.
The only hope is that the other party will disdain this mere ambush...
This too is a kind of illusion.
If a real master intended to catch him, coming alone to hide his aura would actually be the best choice.
Because this way, it’s extremely difficult for him to detect.
But to Chu Qing, such an approach is akin to "there are no three hundred taels of silver here," and the other party is very likely to sense a change and thus not dare to approach rashly.
But now they’ve actually gathered a group of people, blatantly telling the other party, we not only noticed the issue but also made responses and preparations.
From a master’s mindset, they might take the risk to try, at the very least, to figure out what change has occurred over at the Mirror of Sin.
As soon as this person shows up, Chu Qing can directly make a move.
The next thing to do is to wait...
Time passed by second by second.
Gentle’s face didn’t show any sign of tension, occasionally her gaze wandered as if looking for something interesting.
Chu Qing recalled what Wen Fusheng mentioned to him during the day about the Celestial Fragrance Body.
He had the intention to check Gentle’s pulse, but this wasn’t the right place.
With the Xu time just in sight, the surroundings remained quiet.
Si Ye couldn’t help but look at Chu Qing, feeling somewhat anxious.
Chu Qing gently shook his head, telling him to remain calm, as the saying goes, "man proposes, God disposes."
Every plan has the possibility of failure, just wait and see, no need to be overly consumed.
Moreover, he had a feeling that even if this person doesn’t come today... there would still be some gain.
In the blink of an eye, the time entered Xu, and half the time had passed.
Just when Si Ye thought this person probably wouldn’t come today, a ghostly silhouette appeared without warning.
Just as Cao Qiupu’s letter described, this person was dressed in black with a masked face, hair slightly red.
Their gaze was filled with a sense of deathly silence.
He spoke softly:
"You all may as well come out, I have some questions to ask."
Chu Qing’s brow furrowed slightly, and as his thoughts turned, his inner breath suddenly skipped a beat intentionally, causing a surge of energy to leak out.
The person immediately sensed this and was already before him without any wind beneath his feet.
This move was truly horrifying!
The encirclement today was already very large, Chu Qing was at least fifteen or sixteen yards away from this person.
Without seeing any change in his steps, he had already crossed such a distance in the blink of an eye, such lightweight technique was rarely heard of, let alone seen.
At the same time, he reached out, and something flew straight toward Chu Qing.
As it flew, it emitted a tremor-inducing sound.
As the sound spread, everyone hidden around let out painful howls, even Si Ye showed an expression of pain.
