My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 375 - 220: Overlooking, Part 3

“For the past few days, he kept urging me to find you all, to find *us*, as soon as possible?”

The worried expressions on everyone’s faces froze, replaced by confusion. ’Qing Cang was secretly urging him to find us?’

He must be out of tricks. Hu Qi was already right next to Xia Jie. At this distance, even if he tried something, Hu Qi could stop him in time.

“Are you sure it was Lord Qing Cang who was urging you to find us?” Xia Jie asked, his voice laced with uncertainty.

Hu Qi, who had been about to make his move, froze. His brow furrowed as he realized something was amiss. “What do you mean?”

“Lord Qing Cang was the one who put us here in the first place,” Xia Jie said hesitantly. “He should already know our location.”

“Qing Cang put you here? You didn’t find this place yourselves?” Hu Qi looked dazed for a moment, then his expression changed drastically. He snapped his gaze to Su Chen in the crowd, only to see that the other man was already watching him.

His face was a storm of uncertainty as he suddenly realized he had been tricked.

’Qing Cang wasn’t attacked at all. He just made a big show of having the Sect calculate the location of Wan Chen and the others.’

’If anyone was secretly plotting against Su Chen, they would naturally move to intercept the initial report and send assassins.’

His expression was grim. His first thought wasn’t that he had fallen for Qing Cang’s ploy, but rather a sense of disbelief. Why would Qing Cang go to such lengths for Su Chen?

’All told, Qing Cang had only known him for two months.’

’So… should I still…?’

He hesitated, a new worry taking root. ’What if Qing Cang has another ace up his sleeve?’

’But it’s already come to this. I’ve already jumped out into the open, and by extension, Venerable Qin Yun’s involvement is now obvious.’

’But since I’m already exposed, if I do nothing now…’

’Before I acted, I even went out of my way to confirm Qing Cang’s location with that idiot Wu Feng.’

’Even if Qing Cang has some other plan, as long as I’m fast enough, I can make this a done deal… ’

Xia Jie also sensed that something was wrong. Watching Hu Qi’s flickering expression and thinking back on Qing Cang’s contradictory behavior, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“SIGH…” Hu Qi suddenly let out a long sigh. His expression calmed, his decision made. His gaze landed on Su Chen in the crowd as he said slowly,

“You have only yourself to blame for being in this position.”

Xia Jie’s face filled with horror. ’It’s really happening…’

Wan Chen also realized what was going on. His expression changed dramatically, and he blurted out, “Supervisor Hu, Su Chen… he’s Venerable Red Sun’s heir! The Ancient King himself promised to protect him! You…”

His mind was a mess, but he realized that Hu Qi was about to make a move on Su Chen.

’But if he’s here to kill Su Chen, is he going to let any of us live?’

“Is there anyone else behind you?” Su Chen finally spoke.

Hu Qi’s eyes were deep and cold, yet he had no interest in responding. ’Just a lucky brat from some desolate wasteland. Nobody cares what he thinks about living or dying.’

A glint flashed in his eyes, and without any visible movement, he was suddenly in front of Su Chen.

Even though Su Chen was mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but feel a jolt of alarm. The others trembled in shock, never imagining that the Sect’s famously affable man could be so vicious.

Bitterness welled in Wan Chen’s heart. ’To think… we didn’t die at the hands of enemies, only to be killed by one of our own.’

But before Hu Qi could take further action, his own expression suddenly changed. He felt an inexplicable stagnation, a blockage throughout his body.

Then, streams of cyan light began to rise from the surface of Su Chen’s skin.

A closer look revealed that the light was actually composed of densely packed 0s and 1s.

“This…” Hu Qi’s face twisted in horror. As if realizing something, the color drained from his cheeks at a visible rate, and he stumbled backward.

Immediately, a dense stream of green data converged and wove itself together above Su Chen’s head, forming a Bronze Figurine.

The figurine then shot toward the sky, expanding rapidly—ten meters, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand…

Finally, it transformed into a Bronze Giant seated cross-legged amidst the stars. Like a god, the halo of gears behind its back shone even more brilliantly than the Taiyue Hub itself.

The aura of a being at the absolute pinnacle of existence washed over them, instilling in everyone an irresistible urge to prostrate themselves in worship.

It lowered its head, its gaze falling upon all living beings.

“An… Ancient King…”

Hu Qi’s face was ashen, his fleshy body quivering uncontrollably.
