The Great Array Activates

Grandmother?

Chu Lu frowned slightly and asked in his heart, "Is she the grandmother you mentioned before?"

Luo Qingdie: "Mm."

"I see..." Chu Lu's expression was complicated.

"Grandmother." Chu Lu looked at the old woman and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to save you." Grandmother's tone was anxious and angry, "Your father is a beast, and your mother is also a beast. They actually colluded with outsiders to kill their own daughter. Is this something parents would do?"

Chu Lu decided to test her and asked, "Didn't you say you'd confess?"

"Confess my ass!" Grandmother's face was full of anger, "That was all a lie to trick you. They set up a powerful magic array, and as soon as you step into it, you'll be crushed to pieces! Those two little beasts saying they'd take you to see them was actually to lure you into that magic array!"

"But my good granddaughter, don't worry. Grandmother is here. Grandmother will save you." Grandmother said, "Those people have informants everywhere in Qingyun City, watching every place like a hawk. But I haven't been idle these past few days. I've been investigating everywhere and have figured out their locations. If you follow me, we can bypass them and leave Qingyun City."

"Really? Thank you, Grandmother."

"What thanks are needed? This is what a grandmother should do."

As the two of them moved through the small alleys, Yang Ruying and his group watched from the shadows, smiles on their faces.

"Senior Brother Yang, we succeeded," a subordinate said.

"Mm." Yang Ruying nodded slowly.

Back then, after discovering that Luo Qingdie's relationship with her parents was not good, Yang Ruying wasn't completely convinced by Luo Father's dog-training rhetoric.

He still felt a backup plan was necessary. Therefore, he continued to search for a suitable candidate within the Luo family and discovered that Luo Qingdie's treatment at home was extremely poor.

Although he had somewhat anticipated this. After all, Luo Qingdie spent most of her time at the Inquiry Sword Sect and didn't have much time to cultivate their relationship. Moreover, her parents didn't treat Luo Qingdie like a human, so how could he expect other relatives to be any better?

But after some investigation, he was still shocked.

She had no close friends among her peers, and no elders liked her. She was truly alone and helpless.

Fortunately, Yang Ruying eventually found out that Luo Qingdie's grandmother had a good relationship with her. Whether it was innate kindness or the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, she was the only one in the Luo family who showed any care for Luo Qingdie.

She would occasionally play with her, leave her some leftovers, and stand up for her when she was bullied.

Therefore, he brought Luo Qingdie's grandmother over to serve as a backup plan.

If Luo Father and Luo Mother's plan failed, Luo Qingdie's grandmother would step forward, pretend to be on Luo Qingdie's side, expose the conspiracy, and then lead Luo Qingdie towards the magic array.

And judging by the current situation, the effect was excellent.

Luo Qingdie, who showed no pleasantries to her own parents and acted decisively, had a very good attitude towards her grandmother.

"Let's not have any more slip-ups this time," Yang Ruying murmured.

Returning to Chu Lu, he walked with Grandmother and suddenly asked, "Grandmother, do you know about the Inquiry Sword Sect?"

"The rumors that you killed everyone in the Inquiry Sword Sect?" Grandmother scoffed, "Bah! That's just a rumor! It's impossible! Others don't know you and believe any rumor. Don't I know you? What kind of person is my good granddaughter? She's sensible, obedient, kind, and well-behaved. You can't even bear to kill a chicken, so how could you possibly kill your own Master and fellow disciples?"

"I know with my toes that the killer must be someone else, and you must have been framed!"

"So you really believe me..." Chu Lu said.

"Of course, who else would I believe? My granddaughter is the best person in the world." Grandmother said, "Your parents are both beasts. When your Master took you away, they were so angry they were grinding their teeth, wishing they could skin you alive. But now that you've become successful, they're fawning over you again. If anyone else had such beastly parents, it would be a miracle if they didn't beat them to death. But you?"

Grandmother continued, "You agree to everything they say. You come back when they ask you to, you bring them spirit pills and magic treasures when they ask, you endure being hit and scolded. You swallow all the grievances yourself and stuff all the good things into their hands."

"You're so filial and respectful even to those beasts, yet someone actually came to tell me that you personally killed your Master and senior brothers? Would I believe that?" Grandmother gestured wildly, as if she were cursing, "I'd rather believe a sow could climb a tree."

"Is that so? That's great." Chu Lu sighed, "I wish those two old geezers thought the same way."

"Heh, you can't count on that. Those two beasts are beyond saving, in my opinion!"

As they spoke, the two had already passed through the city and arrived at the city gate on the opposite side.

"Alright, we're safe now. The exit is ahead. Once you walk past, you'll be out of their control," Grandmother said. "I'll only escort you this far. You'll have to walk the rest of the way alone. Don't look back."

As she said this, Grandmother's face was filled with reluctance.

"Just me alone? Aren't we going together?" Chu Lu asked.

"Grandmother wishes she could," Grandmother shook her head with regret. "But my old bones can't handle the strain. Following you would only be a burden."

"I see. Then, before I go, I have one last thing to say." Chu Lu said.

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Grandmother asked.

Chu Lu leaned in and whispered into Grandmother's ear, "Grandmother, you're actually working with my parents, aren't you?"

"Eh?" Grandmother's eyes widened abruptly. Just as she was about to retort, a spell landed on her, rendering her unable to move.

Chu Lu looked back towards the front and muttered to himself, "So the trap magic array was set up here? Let me see who exactly wants to kill me!"

With that, Chu Lu strode forward.

And at that very moment, a thunderous roar echoed, and the Ten Directions Imperfect Immortal Locking God Destroying Great Array was activated with a bang. Endless light converged from all directions, transforming into torrents of powerful magic power that surged into the sky.

The wind howled, and lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Each bolt of lightning contained world-destroying power, tearing through the surrounding air. Countless purple arcs of electricity roamed the edges of the great array, weaving into a massive electric net that exuded a chilling aura.

The heavens and earth changed, and the Ten Directions Imperfect Immortal Locking God Destroying Great Array was terrifyingly potent!

Grandmother, standing at the edge of the array, immediately rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Citizens in Qingyun City, far away, peered out to see what was happening, their souls scattered in terror.

And even further away, Yang Ruying, his subordinates, Luo Father, and Luo Mother looked up at the soaring power of the great array, their faces filled with ecstatic joy.
