Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1021: The Hou Family Deliberates

”How awesome is that, but how do you activate the array within it?”

Ye Luo asked curiously.

”Controlling the array plate is very simple; you just need to let your strength surge into it, and you can activate it. The one in your hand should be an array plate that’s been set up with a Killing Array.”

”However, the array plate was broken before, and now that the fragments have been reassembled, the array within has been triggered, which is why such a terrifying attack was unleashed.”

Xiao Ling explained one by one.

”To think there’s such a thing, impressive!”

Ye Luo couldn’t help but exclaim; he felt that he was indeed gaining more knowledge by the day.

”Based on my assessment, the strength of the Killing Array in this array plate is enough to wipe out a warrior in the Controlling Qi Realm without any problems once it’s activated.”

Xiao Ling spoke again, and Ye Luo was deeply shocked.

It can actually kill a Controlling Qi Realm warrior?

”Is this array plate that terrifying? When it was triggered just now, it seemed its power was at most, comparable to that of a Spirit Sea Realm expert, right?”

Ye Luo said, puzzled, as the strength that the array plate had unleashed, although terrifying, was nowhere near enough to kill a Controlling Qi Realm warrior.

”Master, the Killing Array’s strength was automatically triggered by the array plate just now; it didn’t fully activate the power of the Killing Array. Once the strength of the Killing Array is completely activated, killing a Controlling Qi Realm warrior would definitely not be a problem.”

”However, this array plate does come with limitations on its use; it cannot be used indefinitely. The array plate can be used up to two more times before it becomes useless,” Xiao Ling said indifferently.

”Damn it, that’s such a rip-off!”

Ye Luo’s face was suddenly filled with frustration. He had just been thinking that with this array plate, he could beat any expert, but now he learned it could only be used twice, which was incredibly disappointing.

”This array plate is meant to be a life-saving trump card in the Martial Realm. Martial Artists would not use it lightly because they are very difficult to create, and the more powerful the array plate, the harder it is to make.”

”Having two uses is not bad; at least I have two chances to confront Controlling Qi Realm warriors now.”

Once Ye Luo’s mood stabilized, he couldn’t help but say so, thinking to himself how great it would have been if he had gathered the fragments earlier.

Then when dealing with the two Pavilion Masters from the Seven Stars Pavilion, it wouldn’t have been necessary for Ao Long to sacrifice part of his Dragon Soul to kill them. Just the array plate would have been enough to wipe them out, meaning Ao Long wouldn’t have had to go into slumber.

However, Ye Luo’s trip to Su City had been quite rewarding; not only did he gain a business genius like Hu Haoming, but he also obtained such a powerful trump card capable of killing Controlling Qi Realm warriors.

Meanwhile, at the Hou Family residence far away in Capital City, there was some unrest.

In the Hou Family’s living room, the grandfather Hou sat in the principal seat, with Hou Yaoyang, Hou Yaoxing, Hou Yaochen, and Hou Yaoyue, the four siblings, all gathered there.

Apart from Hou Yaoxing, the rest of them looked very somber, with a sense of urgency in their eyes, while only Hou Yaoxing’s eyes sparkled with a cold light, and the corners of his mouth bore a barely noticeable sneer.

”Father, what should we do now? Are we just going to wait like this? Hou Jingwu has been detained, and we don’t know if he’s alive or dead, while Die Wu is about to marry Bai Yu. When that happens, Hou Jingwu will definitely be heartbroken!”

Hou Yaoyue spoke up, her eyes filled with urgency.

”I’m well aware of that. Although our Hou Family has some strength, it’s only limited to the secular world. Jiu Hua Sect is a first-rate force among the Hidden Sects; our Hou Family simply can’t intervene.”

”Moreover, this was all decided by the Sect Leader of Jiu Hua Sect along with several Elders. We can’t stop it. Right now, all we can do is find a way to rescue Hou Jingwu, prevent him from getting hurt, and that would be enough. As for his relationship with Die Wu, perhaps it really wasn’t meant to be.”

Grandfather Hou let out a deep sigh.

”I had a premonition that Jing Wu and the others would encounter some trouble when they returned to Jiu Hua Sect,”

”and now something has indeed happened, alas...”

Hou Yaoyang looked exhausted, his expression filled with complexity.

”Father, if it comes to it, I will lead a military force straight to Jiu Hua Sect,”

”I refuse to believe they would dare to not release him. If they don’t, I’ll order the artillery to level Jiu Hua Sect to the ground!”

Hou Yaochen coldly spat out, with a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.

”Nonsense!”

Lord Hou’s face darkened as he bellowed, his eyes flashing with anger as he glared at Hou Yaochen.

”Do you even understand what you’re doing, Yaochen? Do you want to provoke a great chaos?”

”If you do that, you and the entire Hou Family will become criminals in Huaxia.”

Lord Hou spoke with a solemn face.

”Father, I realize my mistake; I was impulsive just now,”

Hou Yaochen said, his face showing a guilty expression.

”Father, why don’t we seek out Ye Luo? Didn’t Jing Wu acknowledge him as the boss? And his strength is so formidable; perhaps he might have a solution.”

Hou Yaoyue suddenly suggested.

”Ye Luo, hmph, Yaoyue, you should give up on that thought. No matter how capable he is, at best he is only powerful in the ordinary world. He can’t interfere with matters of the Hidden Sect, let alone Jiu Hua Sect which is a first-rate power in the Hidden Sect. I’m afraid he can’t even step into the main gate of Jiu Hua Sect, so don’t hold any expectations of him.”

Hou Yaoxing said disdainfully.

”How can you say that, Second Brother?” Hou Yaoyue said dissatisfied.

”Am I wrong?” Hou Yaoxing coldly huffed.

”Enough, stop arguing. If it really comes down to it, I will personally go to Jiu Hua Sect to demand Jing Wu’s release. Whatever it is, Jing Wu is still Sect Leader Xie’s disciple, and I believe he won’t harm Jing Wu.”

Lord Hou said gravely.

”Father, let me go instead.”

Hou Yaoyang spoke up.

”You can accompany me when the time comes.”

Lord Hou’s eyes sparkled as he spoke.

Meanwhile, inside Jiu Hua Sect, the night was deep and quiet. In a boudoir, Die Wu sat in a corner, her face full of dejection and lost in thought. Suddenly, the door of the room opened, and Xie Yuquan, wearing a long robe, walked in.

”Die Wu, you haven’t slept yet?”

Xie Yuquan approached his daughter Xie Die Wu and spoke, but she wore a cold expression and completely ignored her father.

”Die Wu, are you still blaming me for agreeing to your marriage to Bai Yu and imprisoning Jing Wu?”

Xie Yuquan said flatly.

”Father, why are you doing this? You liked Jing Wu before, and you agreed to our relationship.”

”Why did everything change after I was asleep for more than a year? Why did all this happen? I don’t want to marry Bai Yu, I only like Jing Wu.”
