Chapter 277: 276, Hotel Chapter 277: 276, Hotel Song Yan Ning scanned every corner of the hotel with her Divine Sense, a knowing smile spreading across her face, “Indeed, they can’t leave this place.”
Qin Yushen turned his head to look at Song Yan Ning, “Is there an Array around here?” Xiao Ning was quite proficient in Arrays, and just because he couldn’t detect it didn’t mean Xiao Ning couldn’t.
Song Yan Ning nodded, “These hot springs are the Array Eyes of the Array. The Array is not active normally, but once someone enters the hot springs to bathe, it will automatically activate, absorbing the vital energy from one’s body. Once drained, they would end up just like them.”
Qin Yushen nodded with understanding, “I see, we are essentially like Array Flags.”
Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded, “That’s also why the female attendant just now reminded us not to enter the hot springs.” The person who set up the Array was somewhat skilled, she was eager to meet them.
Qin Yushen waved his hand, extinguishing all the lost souls in the room, then cast several Clear Water Formulas, instantly filling the room with fresh air.
“Let’s destroy these Array Eyes first.” To draw out the person who set up the Array, they had to drive him mad. If he could set up such an Array, he must have put in a lot of effort.
“Okay.” Qin Yushen agreed and, in an instant, disappeared from sight.
Not far from the hot spring hotel, on a mountain, a pale-faced middle-aged woman was sitting cross-legged on the edge of a cliff, her eyes closed, in cultivation. She only needed to absorb a bit more vital energy to advance.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her chest, her throat sweetened, and she spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.
She opened her bloodshot eyes, her gaze burning with rage as she looked in the direction of the hot spring hotel, “No matter who you are, since you have destroyed my Array, I will never let you go.”
Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, the middle-aged woman stood up and headed towards the hotel.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen heard a knock on the door, swept it with their Divine Sense, and saw a pale-faced middle-aged woman standing outside, immediately showing an expression of understanding.
Qin Yushen went forward to open the door, “Can I help you?”
The middle-aged woman stepped forward into the room, and at the same time reached out her claw-like hands, attempting to grab Qin Yushen’s neck. She had not expected that the one who destroyed her Array would be a child, but she had no intention of showing mercy just because of his age.
Where would Qin Yushen allow her to get a hold of his neck? His figure blurred, and he retreated several steps. If he didn’t have questions for her, he would have already set her ablaze.
“Some skill there,” the middle-aged woman said as she kicked the door shut behind her, her cold gaze sizing up Qin Yushen and Song Yan Ning. Today, she would not let them go; she planned to absorb their vital energy and ensure their souls stayed here forever.
“How do you know the Cultivation Method?” Song Yan Ning was certain that the other party was practicing a Cultivation Method. It seemed her earlier guess was not wrong; this world was indeed not as simple as it appeared.
“What Cultivation Method?” The middle-aged woman asked in surprise, a look of confusion on her face.
“Where did you get your Cultivation Technique from? How do you know about Arrays?” Song Yan Ning saw the blank expression on her face and knew the woman was unaware of the origins of her own technique.
“What does it have to do with you? Just die obediently!” The middle-aged woman said as she lunged toward Song Yan Ning. She would deal with Song Yan Ning first, then take her time with the young man.
Qin Yushen waved his hand, and the middle-aged woman was sent flying. Even though he knew Xiao Ning could handle the middle-aged woman, he would not give her any chance to get close to Xiao Ning.
The middle-aged woman got up from the ground, a flash of wariness in her eyes as she looked at Qin Yushen. It appeared she had underestimated him; the young man was more formidable than she had imagined.
Thinking this, the middle-aged woman turned to flee the room. She never fought uncertain battles.
But she quickly realized that she was trapped by an Array, “Who exactly are you?” The middle-aged woman was truly frightened; she had encountered many powerful individuals before, but never had she felt so utterly out of her depth.
“Where did you get your technique from? Tell us, and we might spare your life,” Qin Yushen asked coldly.
The middle-aged woman bit her lip, a resentful expression on her face, “I found it in the mountains.”
“Do you think we’re three-year-olds?” Song Yan Ning looked at the woman scornfully. If Cultivation Techniques could be found lying around in the mountains, then the world would be full of strong figures.
“Not talking, is that it?” Qin Yushen conjured a ball of Flames and waved it towards the middle-aged woman. He was never merciful to his enemies.
The middle-aged woman immediately felt intense pain in her feet and, looking down, she saw one of her legs engulfed in flames, “I’ll talk, I’ll talk, that technique was passed on to me by my master, and the Array too.”
“Who is your master?” Song Yan Ning asked.
“My master has passed away. When I first met her, she was badly injured. Before she died, she passed on her techniques to me. I figured out the Cultivation Method and Array on my own. I’ve told you everything, please let me go!” She really couldn’t bear the pain.
“Bring out the technique,” Qin Yushen demanded coldly.
The middle-aged woman hesitated, but feeling even more intense pain in her leg, she hurriedly took out the technique from her body and threw it on the ground, “These two books are the techniques.” If she had known how terrifying these two children were, she would have never come. Now her technique had been taken, and she was gravely injured.
Song Yan Ning reached out and drew the technique to her, scanning it briefly before passing it to Qin Yushen, “This is a common Profound Level technique; she did have some skill to cultivate it into an Evil Technique.” At first, she had thought it was an Evil Cultivator’s technique.
Qin Yushen took the technique, scanned it, and pocketed it.
“Can I… can I go now?” The middle-aged woman asked tentatively. She just wanted to leave and heal her wounds as soon as possible.
Song Yan Ning smiled coldly, “Do you think that’s possible?”
With a thought, Qin Yushen caused the Flames, which originally only enveloped the middle-aged woman’s leg, to wrap entirely around her. She soon vanished within the flames. They couldn’t possibly let her go after she had harmed so many people.
Song Yan Ning removed the Array from the room and was about to take out her phone to call her grandparents when the phone rang.
Taking out the phone and seeing it was her grandfather calling, Song Yan Ning smiled as she answered, “Grandpa, I was just about to call you. I’ve just arrived at the hotel; you and grandma shouldn’t worry.”
“Alright, take care while you’re out, don’t wander about, and stay with Xiao Shen, understand?”
“Okay, I understand,” Song Yan Ning replied, rolling her eyes at Qin Yushen who was smiling at her.
