You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Seeing Su Chen's stunned expression, Qing smiled.

"We've never had a deep relationship; it's always been one of using and being used."

"But I have to thank you for not bothering me just now."

He took out a snakeskin bag, quickly packed up the cut-off turtle meat, and then looked at the remaining meat with a headache: "You really don't want it?"

Su Chen: "..."

"Look, this spirit turtle has truly cultivated to its current state with great difficulty. Growing up to this size, it has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. If you really don't want it, it will only benefit the fish and shrimp here, which would be a real waste."

Su Chen raised his eyebrows.

"Alright, it seems you're really not interested. Can I leave the meat with you for now?"

"what?"

Qingwei straightened up and pointed to the back of Su Chen's left hand.

"Is that not possible? Just name your conditions."

Su Chen was somewhat annoyed, but he couldn't find any excuse to refuse, so he said helplessly, "Hurry up and cut it. If we wait any longer, the evil energy will seep in, and the meat will be inedible."

Qingwei's sword strike shattered the already fragile soul of the spirit turtle. Although he had cut off such a large piece of flesh from the spirit turtle's body, it was still in a half-dead state.

The ultimate goal of the spirit-sacrificing array is the body of the spirit turtle, so the array's evil energy chains still tightly bind and envelop the spirit turtle.

Because of the passing of the spirit turtle's soul, the malevolent energy seeped into the turtle's flesh without any hindrance.

As he spoke, he also took out a peach wood sword to help with the cutting.

The two men swiftly and decisively dismembered the body, leaving the wooden owl watching in the sky dumbfounded.

When Su Chen finally put the last piece of turtle meat, which was still relatively intact, into his cave space, Qingwei finally smiled.

"The mission should be considered complete, right?"

Su Chen glanced at him.

"What? Are you unhappy?"

“You should be happy,” Qingwei said, pointing to the spirit turtle that was now just a shell. “Tell me, if a spirit were to enter such a mutilated body, wouldn’t it be furious and start cursing?”

Su Chen didn't say anything.

"Ordinary spirits are fine, but if it's a god... that would be really interesting, wouldn't it?"

Master Qingwei looked at Su Chen carefully: "When he finds that the carefully selected container has been destroyed, do you think he will be so angry that he will turn the whole sea upside down?"

Su Chen: "He doesn't have that ability."

Qingwei paused for a moment, then sighed softly.

"That's such a pity."

“You…” Su Chen looked at Qingwei Daoist carefully, “You’d better not act anymore.”

Qingwei raised an eyebrow.

"Even if you were affected by evil energy, you wouldn't be in this state, senior. Acting... is really a waste of energy."

"and……"

"And what?"

Su Chen took the wooden plaque into his hand and rubbed it for a moment.

"Although you are very fast, my Heavenly Eye is not just for show."

"When you flicked the wooden plaque away just now, it was clear that a soul was taken by the plaque."

“I had previously suspected that it might be a split soul of the senior, but upon closer reflection, since you chose to deal with the split personality, you must have been absolutely certain.”

"so……"

Su Chen looked at Wei Qing: "The one that was shattered by your peach wood sword was a soul you separated, wasn't it?"

Qingwei squinted and looked at Su Chen carefully for a long time before shrugging: "As expected... nothing can fool you."

He sighed softly, kicked the turtle's shell, glanced around, and said helplessly, "It seems they've also discovered that the turtle has been divided up and aren't planning to come back."

Su Chen glanced at the strange fish swimming beneath the boats: "They're like headless flies. Since they haven't left, they're obviously hesitating..."

"We have no choice but to act. We ruined their plan, and they were determined to trap us in their formation no matter what. It's only right that we do this."

"Of course, you can only trap me at most, but you probably can't trap me."

Su Chen did not refute.

He stroked the wooden plaque again: "Is there some kind of formation hidden inside this wooden plaque that replaced the tortoise spirit?"

Qingwei knew what he wanted to ask, and smiled: "Senior Mu has lived for far too long, he must have found a way to pass the long years."

“He loves playing chess. Sometimes he asks the spiritual beings in the mountains to play against him, but most of the time he plays against himself.”

"It is not surprising to think that one step can be counted as a hundred or even a thousand steps."

Su Chen was puzzled.

"Can't Senior Mu leave the Qinling Mountains?"

"Although a tree dies when transplanted, someone like you, senior, should be capable of navigating the world, right?"

Why not go to sea yourself, instead of relying on a piece of lightning-struck wood on your body?

This was a question he had had before.

Upon hearing this, Qingwei glanced at Su Chen with a strange expression.

"What? Did I say something wrong?"

Qingwei reminded him: "That's the Qinling Mountains."

"What's wrong with Qinling? Even if Senior Mu has become the mountain god of Qinling, the most he can do when he travels the world is that his abilities are suppressed."

Qingwei waved her hand: "Senior Mu is not a mountain god, he is just..."

He took a deep breath and looked around: "Just like us right now, we're trapped!"

Su Chen frowned, then belatedly realized: "Could it be that the Qinling Mountains... are shrouded in an array?"

"What kind of formation is this? How can it still be operating after all these years? Even Senior Mu couldn't break it?"

Master Qingwei shook his head: "I don't know."

"Even Senior Mu himself doesn't know."

"All we know is that we can't stay in the Qinling Mountains for too long, otherwise we'll be trapped inside if we get too much of the Qinling atmosphere."

Su Chen frowned.

"That formation has probably existed for more than a hundred or a thousand years, hasn't it?"

Before he could figure it out, Qingwei put her hand on his shoulder.

Su Chen then noticed that the strange fish under the boat seemed to have suddenly found a target and began to swim purposefully.

Qingwei stomped his foot, causing the bow of the ship to drop. He spun around a few times in the air with Su Chen, landing on another ship, and carefully looked around.

Su Chen: "The formation has changed."

Qingwei's lips curled up in a smile.

"They really are vindictive, but I like it."

"We can't find any flaws in the Nine Revolutions Spirit Sacrifice Array, but this array..."

Before Qingwei could even slash at the lightning-struck wooden sword, Su Chen had already darted out and plunged into the water.

Qingwei was stunned for a moment, then sheathed her sword. Her aura suddenly weakened, and her face turned deathly pale.

He staggered a couple of steps, and to steady himself, he had to squat down, eventually sitting on the bow of the boat.

"How miserable!"

Looking down at her reflection in the water under the bright moonlight, Qingwei gave a wry smile.

His vulnerability quickly vanished, and his eyes hardened.

"Sorry, same brain, same body, same skills, but in the end... I still won."

"boom!"

Qingwei looked up.

The moonlight was obscured by thunderclouds.

As bolts of lightning struck down, a strange fish beneath the sea was brought under Su Chen's control, catching the lightning precisely.

However, after only twenty or so bolts of lightning, the strange fish was reduced to ashes.

It's now……

Qingwei mobilized the last bit of Dao power in his body and struck towards the center of the ship.

Meanwhile, the Wood Owl, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation below and was somewhat exhausted, also swooped down.

With the formation's core breached, Qingwei and Muxiao also severed the supply of malevolent energy, causing the entire formation to begin to crumble.

Seemingly sensing their impending defeat, the strange fish quickly sank and fled, disappearing in no time.

Qingwei chuckled, but before long, he started coughing violently.

Su Chen leaped out of the sea, injecting a surge of power into his body, which calmed him down.

"Look at the human heart, it's full of flaws."
