Chapter 1404 - 412: Sis, Why Are You Throwing Up?!
Moreover, this person is actually a fourth-level Array Master like him?
This...
Suppressing his shock, he looked at Shen Tianhong without showing any emotion.
Only to see this main family head full of "worry", immediately showing concern as Zhou Qing looked over: "Master, can you repair it?"
The anxious appearance, anyone would not see the slightest flaw.
"It’s a bit difficult, let me take another look." Zhou Qing responded, showing a heavy demeanor, and turned to continue "observing" the array, while a storm surged within his mind.
Before coming to the Shen Family, he had conducted thorough investigations.
There was never any intelligence indicating that this main family head was actually an Array Master!
How many Spirit Seals has he gathered?
Why would he destroy the Clan Protection Array himself?
Why did he need to feign repair assistance?
Even more frightening, do the other two family heads know about this?
The "concern" written on their faces at the moment, how much of it is genuine?
Cold sweat started to seep out from Zhou Qing’s back.
How much untold scheming lies beneath these seemingly sincere faces?
No wonder Shen Hanyi, as a Spirit Slash expert, goes about the clan as if walking on thin ice...
It seems the Shen Family appears prosperous on the surface, but within, dark currents have long been surging.
But now is not the time to delve into these matters.
Having benefited greatly from the Shen Family before, even breaking through to the mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm, he should show some value.
Zhou Qing’s mind stirred, starting to flood the array with thirty thousand Spirit Seals.
Part of them transformed into repairing power, attempting to stabilize the broken Array Patterns, while another part constructed temporary channels to pave the way for subsequent Spirit Seals.
The rest advanced directly towards the core array eye.
Under Zhou Qing’s control, these Spirit Seals proceeded extremely cautiously, probing repeatedly with each inch of advance.
Sometimes, encountering particularly fragile nodes, it required thousands of Spirit Seals to exert force simultaneously to barely stabilize it, meticulously repairing every damaged spot.
Thus, as time passed, the originally fragmented Array Patterns began to gradually restore to intactness.
The turbulent Spiritual Power currents, guided by the Spirit Seals, slowly returned to normal operating tracks.
The twisted space at the core array eye also began to stabilize, re-emitting steady light.
Gradually, the internal chaos of the array completely subsided.
All the Array Patterns reconnected, with Spiritual Power flowing smoothly and unobstructed.
The key nodes that were originally on the verge of collapse were now exuding stable light, and the whole array began to regain its powerful capability.
"Finished." Zhou Qing exhaled deeply, slowly retracting all Spirit Seals.
As those previously dim and lifeless runes on the array platform lit up again, with Five-Colored Spiritual Light flowing ceaselessly afterward.
The few people could even hear the array emit a low hum, as if a slumbering giant beast was awakening.
The main family head Shen Tianhong was the first to react, quickly stepping forward, hands trembling slightly with excitement: "Master is truly a divine being!"
His voice was somewhat choked, "This Clan Protection Array has troubled my Shen Family for years, and today finally..."
Before the words were finished, he deeply bowed to the ground.
The second family head Shen Yunlan and the third family head Shen Lieyang had tears in their eyes, also bowing alongside their elder brother: "The master’s grace, the Shen Family will remember forever!"
Seeing the three of them, Zhou Qing quickly helped them up: "The three family heads speak too highly, it was no more than a small effort."
"A small effort?" Shen Tianhong shook his head with a bitter smile, "The master is too modest."
"This Clan Protection Array, we had invited no less than ten masters who gathered over ten thousand Spirit Seals, including our own niece Shen Hanyi, but none of the attempts ended successfully."
"Witnessing the master’s methods today, we finally understand what truly makes a master of arrays!"
Shen Yunlan suddenly remembered something and quickly said: "Master, actually my Shen Family has three more array platforms showing signs of disintegration, though not as serious as here. Would the master be able to..."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shen Lieyang interrupted, "If the master can repair them all, the entire Shen Family would be deeply grateful."
"In the future, whenever the master requires assistance, our Shen Family will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
Zhou Qing pondered briefly, his gaze sweeping across the eager faces of the three family heads.
"Since it’s so..." Zhou Qing nodded slightly, "I will take care of them altogether."
"That’s wonderful!" Shen Lieyang excitedly slapped his thigh, "The master is truly straightforward!"
Shen Tianhong immediately stepped forward, respectfully gesturing: "Master, please follow me, the next array platform is at Luoxia Peak, two thousand miles to the east."
Then, the group went straight to the next repair location...
By sunset that day, all four array platforms were restored to their original state.
The three family heads of the Shen Family were unable to contain their excitement, repeatedly inviting Zhou Qing to the main peak for a banquet.
However, Zhou Qing declined, citing substantial fatigue from the day and a need for quiet cultivation.
Upon hearing this, the three family heads could not hide their disappointment, but quickly plastered smiles on their faces, repeatedly apologizing for their inconsideration.
They then personally escorted Zhou Qing back to his residence, only reluctant to leave after several formal bows at the hall entrance.
Once their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, Zhou Qing immediately closed the hall doors, flicked his fingers, and set up a triple sound insulation restriction.
Only then did he look at the second uncle who had followed him in, explaining in detail the abnormalities encountered at the four array platforms that day.
"Deliberately sabotaging? Are they out of their minds!" the second uncle couldn’t help but curse.
Zhou Qing frowned and said: "Uncle, what do you think their purpose is?"
The second uncle furrowed his brow, pacing back and forth thoughtfully.
"Based on my years of experience in so many sects," the second uncle suddenly halted, his eyes gleaming with insight, "it’s likely they’re trying to better win you over."
