Chapter 919 Netherworld Ghost Claw

The Little Witch ran over with a golden armor. She presented it to Qin Haodong like a treasure.

Qin Haodong took the armor. It felt light in his hand. He didn’t know what it was made of but it was covered with golden scales.

What was surprising was that each scale was a defensive formation. Hundreds of defensive formations were superimposed on top of each other. This was definitely a peak-grade personal defensive divine item.

At this time, a message flashed across his mind, “Dragon Scale Armor, effectively neutralizes 90 percent of the attack power.”

Qin Haodong couldn’t help but marvel at the fact that it could neutralize 90% of the attack power. It was definitely a top-level protective treasure. Although it hadn’t reached the level of the divine weapon, it was not too far away.

It looked like the treasures in the pagoda were indeed extraordinary. Zhao Xingyue had gotten the Killing Immortal Sword. The Little Witch had gotten the Dragon Scale Armor.

“Little Brother, tell me! What do you think of this apparel?”

As a summoner who could not improve to the next level, she was not very interested in pills and weapons, so she chose this armor.

Qin Haodong said, “This is not clothing. It’s the Dragon Scale Armor. It can neutralize 90% of attacks. It’s definitely a good life-saving treasure.”

At this moment, Zhao Xingyue said with some embarrassment, “Hongying, can we change? I’m a timid person. Even if I take a sword, it’s useless. This armor suits me…”

As a summoner, the Little Witch did not like swords at first. However, she still said straightforwardly, “Okay, if you like it, take it.”

“Thank you, Sister Hongying.” Zhao Xingyue happily handed the Killing Immortal Sword to the Little Witch and then put on the Dragon Scale Armor.

“I feel much safer with this!”

Qin Haodong was speechless for a while. She was obviously a master at the late stage of the Voiding Realm but she was so timid that she didn’t even have the courage to make a move.

At this time, Tu Jiaojiao and the others also returned. “Brother Qin, we have gotten all the treasures here. Shouldn’t we think of a way to go to the seventh floor?”

Murong Jinghong said, “I’ve checked just now. There’s no way to go up to the top floor. What’s the way to go up?”

At this moment, a beam of light suddenly shot down from the center of the pagoda. It was like a searchlight on a modern stage, forming a bright circle of light in the middle of the pagoda.

Immediately after, a voice rang out in everyone’s ears. “Little fellows, welcome to the Seven Storeys Pagoda!”

The sudden voice startled everyone. Zhao Xingyue quickly hugged Qin Haodong’s arm.

The Little Witch asked with great interest, “Who are you? Where are you?”

The voice did not answer the Little Witch’s questions and continued, “If you want to enter the seventh floor of the pagoda, you must pass the soul interrogation!”

After hearing this, everyone immediately became excited. It seemed that the seventh floor really existed in the pagoda.

They had already found so many treasures on the sixth floor. This made everyone more hopeful about the seventh floor.

The Little Witch asked again, “What is soul interrogation?”

Qin Haodong grabbed her and said, “Don’t ask again. There’s no one here at all. This is a prompt left by a predecessor through special means. You just need to listen to him.”

“Oh!”

The Little Witch nodded. At this time, the prompt continued, “The soul interrogation is the light column in front of you. This is an extremely powerful spiritual formation.

“If you want to enter the seventh floor, stand there and be interrogated by me. If you want to get the treasures on the seventh floor, you must be honest. If you lie, you will be punished.”

The Little Witch asked, “What punishment?”

The prompt said, “Soul and spirit are destroyed.”

“This…”

After hearing the prompt, everyone fell silent. This soul interrogation seemed simple but it was extremely challenging.

No one knew what would be asked. After all, everyone had their own secrets. They didn’t want to tell their secrets in public. But the consequence of lying was so serious.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the Little Witch said, “Isn’t it just the truth? It’s easy. I’ll go first.”

She usually had a straightforward temperament. There were not many secrets in her heart. Therefore, she was not afraid of these things.

Then she stepped towards the halo. However, Qin Haodong pulled her back and said, “Wait a minute.”

The Little Witch said, “What’s wrong, Little Brother? Are you going first?”

Qin Haodong shook his head. Then he turned back to Zhong Xiaodie and said, “You go first.”

His behavior took everyone by surprise. Along the way, he always took the lead no matter what difficulties they encountered. Why did he want Zhong Xiaodie to try it first this time?

Could it be that he felt that there was something dangerous about this soul interrogation? He wanted the people who were not part of the academy to give it a try first?

Zhong Xiaodie was also very surprised. She asked, “Doctor Qin, why me? Is it because I am not a student of the Tortoise Academy?”

Murong Jinghong said, “Junior Brother, how about I go first? My cultivation is the highest here. I also have the Jinghong Sword. Even if there is danger later, I can deal with it.”

Qin Haodong shook his head again. He said, “No! She must be the first.”

Zhong Xiaodie’s face darkened. “Doctor Qin, aren’t you bullying me?”

Others also felt that Qin Haodong’s approach was inappropriate, but out of trust for him, no one spoke out.

“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!
