The others, seeing Shangguan Long suddenly fall silent, immediately abandoned their initial thoughts of open and honest conversation based on the two's remarks.

What are you doing? Trying to get us to say something before revealing your position? That's so obvious, do you really think we're fools?

Hua Chengyu felt even more disgusted. If you don't want to talk, you can be the last one to speak, and I don't expect you to say everything.

But you were the first to express your opinion, and then you don't say anything else. Doesn't that completely lock down the situation he just started to open up?

"Shangguan Long, what do you mean by still doing this at a time like this?"

Hua Chengyu looked at Shangguan Long, who was still silent, and the others who had been interested but had obviously fallen silent. He couldn't help but be angry and scolded Shangguan Long.

"What? Brother Hua, what do you mean by that? Did I do something wrong?"

Shangguan Long looked at Hua Chengyu, whose face was gloomy, and asked with some confusion, "Why is Hua Chengyu suddenly questioning me when we're hiding from those two little brats?"

Although it was his failure to investigate the intelligence properly that led to their predicament, shouldn't we now unite against a common enemy?

And is now the time to question ourselves? Shouldn't we be trying to get the message back?

"Shangguan Long, you... I..."

Hua Chengyu was so angry at Shangguan Long's feigned innocence that he was breathless and ruined the situation he had created.

He's still pretending to be innocent, he's just deliberately disgusting himself. The other three people next to him saw that Hua Chengyu was about to die, so they quickly stepped forward to comfort him, afraid that he would faint in a moment of agitation.

"Senior Brother Hua, be careful not to get too angry. Since Shangguan Long is unwilling to talk about it, then the four of us can do it together."

"That's right, even without Shangguan Long, the four of us are enough."

The three of them helped Hua Chengyu catch his breath and told him that Shangguan Long was not a trustworthy person.

If Hua Chengyu were to pull away again, the three of them really wouldn't be able to protect themselves while sending the message back, unless one of them was willing to sacrifice themselves.

But do they have it? Even if they do, will others believe him?

"Why do you three speak like this? What have I, Shangguan Long, done to offend you? Just say what you have to say."

Hearing their conversation, Shangguan Long realized they didn't want to take him along and angrily questioned them.

If the four of them abandon him, he might as well perish with them.

"Hmph, why are you pretending to be crazy, Shangguan Long? If you hadn't offended Senior Brother Hua, why would he be so angry?"

"That's right... Senior Brother Hua, since Shangguan Long has no shame, then just tell me directly, how did he offend you?"

The two glared at the shameless Shangguan Long, then spoke to Hua Chengyu, who and another person looked at their two companions strangely.

Are these two just making fun of me? Shangguan Long offended Hua Chengyu, didn't he...? What was it again?

Do you remember why we're here?

Hua Chengyu suddenly realized something and anxiously asked the others, hoping it wasn't what he thought, otherwise it would really be terrifying.

"We're not... Wait, where is this? Who are you?"

"Are you stupid? Why...why are we here?"

"Hehe, I see, no wonder, no wonder."

Seeing the two looking bewildered, Hua Chengyu suddenly laughed, then burst into tears. This was punishment, this was a punishment worse than death.

Hahaha, we all thought the other person was a novice, but it turns out we were the laughingstock. Hahaha... Why am I laughing all of a sudden? Did something good happen? Oh right, Senior Brother Bian said he'd give me a great opportunity if I helped him arrange a meeting with Junior Sister Zhu.

"What's wrong with you guys? Weren't we supposed to be open and honest? Wait, what just happened to me..."

"So that's how it is. This is the punishment... a punishment worse than death."

The families living near the dilapidated temple outside the village heard a mixture of crying and laughter coming from the temple. They were so frightened that they huddled under their blankets, trembling and too scared to move.

"Aren't you afraid that if you just let them go like this, they'll tell Zhu Yuyan what happened to us when they get back? Your martial arts are just as tempting to them as the Evil Emperor's Relic."

On the other side, after Hu Yifei and Zhang Yu left, Hu Yifei also asked Zhang Yu about her concerns.

Although she was worried that Zhang Yu's mind would be affected by martial arts, she did not expect Zhang Yu to be so indecisive and actually let them go.

She couldn't stand characters in TV dramas who were so brainless and didn't use their brains at all.

"Sister Yifei, do I look like an idiot? I'm not the kind of person who would let go of anything that could threaten me just for the sake of the plot later."

Hearing Zhang Yu say this, Hu Yifei immediately became excited. She believed in revenge and hated indecisiveness.

Especially in TV dramas and movies, things that could be easily solved.

The main characters have to drag things out for several episodes, or even more than ten episodes, before the conflict is resolved by the murder of their family, friends, or the female lead.

Why didn't you use this time earlier? I seriously suspect the screenwriter emptied their brain along the sphincter while writing this.

"Was it you who slapped them on the forehead at the end? What did you do? Is your head going to explode in a while?"

Hu Yifei excitedly said terrifying things and even made an explosion gesture with her hands, making people wonder if she had some strange hobby.

"Sister Yifei, it's not as scary as you say. I just injected a trace of internal energy into their hippocampus, which only caused them to develop Alzheimer's disease prematurely."

Seeing Hu Yifei getting more and more excited, Zhang Yu immediately spoke up to explain.

I'm afraid she'll take it seriously and really become a skull-crushing maniac. Putting everything else aside, just thinking about the bloody scenes is unbearable.

"Tch, boring... How did you do that? Can internal energy achieve that level?"

Hu Yifei initially dismissed Zhang Yu's explanation, but immediately became interested the next second. "That's quite an ability," she thought.

As expected of the people in this apartment building, none of them are easy to deal with; they're all busybodies.

However, Zhang Yu had no need to hide the application of these martial arts techniques, so he directly explained the principles to Hu Yifei.

In essence, it involves using internal force to disrupt the normal functioning of the hippocampus. Zhang Yu wants to thank the volunteers around the world who voluntarily dedicated themselves to science.

If they hadn't voluntarily sacrificed themselves, Zhang Yu wouldn't have been able to develop so many applications of internal energy so easily.

The principle is very simple: as long as you have internal energy, you can inject it into another person's body. It's not some high-level operation; it just requires strong and precise control over internal energy.

Some people don't have good control over their internal energy, like Duan Yu, whose internal energy was inconsistent from the beginning, so he couldn't control it.

Of course, most importantly, no one would think about these things. As for martial arts, as long as you kill the opponent with one move, you can do it.

Even if someone wanted to torture someone, no one would specifically study martial arts to torture someone; they would only study how to cause pain.

Zhang Yu was also trying out all sorts of ideas during the information explosion of modern times, which led him to think about how to do it, and as a result, he actually created quite a few things.
