Chapter 919 - Netherworld Ghost Claw (2/2)
“Am I bullying you?” Qin Haodong smiled slightly and said, “If you weren’t here, I would be the first to go up. But with you here, I don’t dare to do that. What if I go up and you hurt my people?”
Zhong Xiaodie’s expression changed greatly. “Doctor Qin, what do you mean? Are you doubting me?”
“You’re right! I’m doubting you,” Qin Haodong said bluntly, “you saw it outside just now. There are thousands of people coming to the pagoda to get the experience. Why were you the only one who met the 12 ghost slaves?
“Besides, the Pagoda Mountain is so big. Why did you come to us?”
Zhong Xiaodie immediately put on a pitiful expression. She said, “Doctor Qin, you really wronged me. These are just coincidences.”
Tu Jiaojiao added, “Yes, Brother Qin, have you misunderstood Sister Xiaodie?”
Qin Haodong said, “These were not enough to arouse my suspicion. The most important thing is that I am a doctor.
“When treating you, I found that the injuries in your body ingeniously avoided the vital parts. They looked very serious, but in fact, there was no substantial harm.
“Maybe you didn’t expect that there would be a doctor in our team at that time. If your injuries are too serious, they will affect your next move.”
Zhong Xiaodie said anxiously, “Doctor Qin, you misunderstood me. My injuries were caused by those ghost slaves. I don’t know the specific situation…”
Qin Haodong waved his hand and interrupted Zhong Xiaodie. “After joining our team, you first tried to protect Zhao Xingyue after the Xiahou father and son’s arrival in order to gain our trust.
“After that, you became extremely low-key, to the point that everyone forgot that you were still in the team. However, the more you did this, the more you attracted my attention.”
Hearing this, everyone realized that Zhong Xiaodie was really low-key after entering the pagoda. She didn’t even say a word.
Qin Haodong continued, “I didn’t want to expose you at first. I wanted to see what you were going to do, but now I can’t.
“If I am the first to enter the seventh floor, I fear that you will make a move against my people. If I am the last to enter, I fear that there will be unknown dangers up ahead. Thus, I must finish you off.”
Zhong Xiaodie said with a wronged face, “Doctor Qin, you really misunderstood me. I am indeed just an ordinary person who wants to experience. I mean no harm to you…”
Qin Haodong said, “Since you said so, I won’t make it difficult for you. You just need to be the first to enter the soul interrogation. Then you will naturally tell the truth.
“Of course, if you want to try it at the risk of destroying your soul and spirit, you can continue to lie.”
“Okay, I’ll prove it to everyone now!”
Zhong Xiaodie looked determined and strode toward the light column of the soul interrogation.
The Little Witch said in a low voice, “Little Brother, have you misunderstood Sister Xiaodie…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Xiaodie, who was about to go to the front of the soul interrogation, suddenly stopped. Then, her momentum suddenly erupted. She turned back and grabbed at Qin Haodong.
“Netherworld Ghost Claw! Brat, go to hell!”
At this time, Zhong Xiaodie’s expression changed greatly. She was no longer gentle and virtuous as before. Instead, she had a fierce look on her face. Moreover, the momentum on her body was extremely powerful, which far exceeded the late stage of the Voiding Realm. She was just like a master of the Grand Completion Realm.
“Oh, My God! She is really a spy among us…”
“So powerful! She is a master of the Grand Completion Realm…”
“Netherworld Ghost Claw! She is from the Ghost King Sect…”
Everyone was shocked by Zhong Xiaodie’s change. They wanted to help Qin Haodong but it was too late.
At this moment, a huge foot cut across the sky and collided with Zhong Xiaodie’s ghost claw.
After a muffled bang, Zhong Xiaodie flew out like a fly and hit the wall of the pagoda hard.
At the same time, the Three-legged Golden Toad appeared in front of everyone. It stuck out its huge tongue and stared at Zhong Xiaodie in front of it.
Tu Jiaojiao stepped forward and said, “You’re from the Ghost King Sect. What’s your purpose of coming here as a spy?”
Zhong Xiaodie got up from the ground. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at everyone angrily without speaking.
“Since you don’t want to tell us, I’ll answer for you!” Qin Haodong said, “Your Ghost King Sect knows that the students of our Tortoise Academy are going to enter the pagoda for experiencing, so you carefully planned to make a Self-harming Trick to win our trust and follow us into the pagoda.”
The Little Witch asked, “Little Brother, why didn’t they come by themselves if they wanted to enter the pagoda? Why did they have to mingle with us?”
Qin Haodong said, “If I’m right, the Ghost King Sect has sent people in before. However, there are many barriers in the pagoda. They are not good at formations, so they didn’t make it before.
“Thus, this time, they changed their strategy and sent their people to mingle with us. They wanted to utilize our skills to reach the top of the pagoda and then kill us all after obtaining the treasures.”
Everyone understood at once. If they hadn’t been with Qin Haodong this time, they wouldn’t have been able to reach the sixth floor of the pagoda, let alone the Ghost King Sect, which didn’t know the formation at all.
Murong Jinghong added, “But she’s alone. It’s not going to be easy for her to kill us all, is it?”
Qin Haodong said, “She was originally a master at the stage of the Grand Completion Realm. I don’t know what special method she used to hide her cultivation and sneak into the pagoda.
“However, she has her own way to regain her cultivation at any time and restore her strength. Think about it, if we are ambushed by a master of the Grand Completion Realm without any precautions, what will happen?”
“Hiss…”
Everyone present gasped. The highest cultivation among them was the late stage of the Voiding Realm. The level was no match for the Grand Completion Realm.
If they were ambushed, they’d be dead without a doubt!
