That Is My Mysterious Book

Lu Shui walked down the street. Finding a place to stay was not difficult; all he had to do was head somewhere more secluded, and he could spot one anywhere.

But before they had gone very far, someone caught up with them.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were the First Time to notice someone approaching.

"Young master, someone is coming our way. I don't know whether they are friend or foe," Zhen Wu said.

Lu Shui's Heart sighed. Those chasing after them with Killing Intent—could they possibly not be enemies?

Still, he Said nothing. He stopped instead, wanting to see what those people intended.

Very soon, they saw them. There were more than ten people in total, led by Three masked figures.

The previous Left and Right Protectors, along with the masked man whose mask bore the character Xi.

Left Protector said,

"It should be them."

Elder Xi nodded.

"It should be. They match those people's descriptions quite closely. The Mysterious Book is on them."

Lu Shui was A little surprised. When had the Mysterious Book ended up with him?

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling frowned as well.

Whether this was true or false, they had No Way to explain themselves.

They were debating whether to abandon the Three People they were carrying.

At that moment, Elder Xi said directly,

"Surround them. Don't let them escape."

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling had already prepared to leave with Lu Shui.

Lu Shui, however, did not care much. He said,

"Don't be nervous. Follow me. Remember, it is Bu Fa."

With that, he turned and left, walking with complete composure.

Of course, as he walked, he By The Way tossed out an Interfering Smoke Bomb. His Mother had specially prepared this Smoke Bomb for him. He had not expected to use it so soon.

The instant the Smoke Bomb went off, the surroundings were swallowed by mist, reducing visibility to less than two meters.

Elder Xi was greatly alarmed. He had never expected the other side to possess such a thing.

"We were careless. Use the formation to seal this place off. The Left and Right Protectors will Rush In with me and stop them from leaving. Watch out for their Powerful Attack."

They knew the other side had an Expert, so only the strong could Rush In and make any difference.

The Left and Right Protectors did not hesitate and charged directly into the mist.

Elder Xi charged in as well.

Yet the moment they entered, they sensed a Powerful Attack ahead of them.

This time, they did not dare act arrogantly and immediately counterattacked with all their strength.

Boom!

The violent clash of power prevented them from getting any closer.

But once the collision of power passed, they could no longer find the Group of People at all.

"Damn it. Don't Know whether we trapped them in time," Elder Xi cursed as he withdrew from the mist.

All they could do now was wait outside for the mist to disperse.

The Left and Right Protectors and Elder Xi stood on high ground, Stared fixedly at the area covered by mist. This place had already been surrounded by them.

In theory, so long as anyone Rushed Out, they would definitely be discovered.

After a long while, the mist dispersed.

But there was no one inside.

"Were we still a step too late?" the Left and Right Protectors spoke at the same time, sounding somewhat regretful.

Elder Xi sighed and said,

"Continue the search. There is Not Yet much time left."

Inside an isolated house.

Bang!

After tossing the grandfather and grandchildren onto the floor, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling did not want to bother with them anymore.

Lu Shui looked at the Three People. Their injuries were serious, but Not to the Point Of death. Of course, he had no intention of dealing with them afterward either.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling looked at Lu Shui in surprise. They had not expected to escape so easily.

Moreover, they had clearly been trapped, yet they had walked out of the other side's trapping formation without the slightest obstruction.

This greatly surprised Zhen Wu.

They Cannot Understand what kind of treasure the clan leader had given Young Master Lu.

They had never even heard of a treasure that could ignore formations, or perhaps even control them so easily.

Of course, that was not the main point.

Zhen Wu looked at Lu Shui and said,

"Young master, someone is smearing mud all over us. We have already been targeted."

That was right. They had been directly identified as the people with the Mysterious Book. Someone was deliberately muddying the waters.

This was not a good thing. They had not merely stumbled into this mess—they had been dragged straight into the heart of the whirlpool.

There was simply no way to pull themselves free.

No matter what they said now, no one would believe them.

Lu Shui looked at Zhen Wu and smiled.

"No. Who is smearing mud on us?"

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling frowned. Their Young Master was actually still this naive.

Zhen Ling decided to put it more bluntly.

"Young master, someone deliberately Spread Out the claim that the Mysterious Book is on us."

Does she think I am an Idiot? Yet Lu Shui still smiled and said,

"Isn't the Mysterious Book on us?"

Zhen Ling frowned, then said,

"Yes. The Mysterious Book is not on us."

Zhen Ling wanted young master to face reality, but she was Stunned soon afterward.

Because Young Master Lu's next words made her feel a little afraid.

Lu Shui stretched out his hand and looked at his empty palm.

"Then who stole my Mysterious Book?"

For an instant, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling could not speak.

There was no way young master's mind had gone wrong, right?

There was naturally nothing wrong with Lu Shui's mind. Since those people said the Mysterious Book was with him, then he would accept that fact.

But now that the Mysterious Book was not with him, he would make it return to its rightful owner.

If others wanted to treat him as prey, then he dared turn around and become the hunter.

Then Lu Shui looked at Zhen Ling and said,

"Go out and investigate. See which Two Sides started the conflict."

Zhen Ling did not hesitate and withdrew immediately.

Now that they had been swept into this, they had to know the Specific Situation.

Then Lu Shui looked at Zhen Wu and asked calmly,

"Any New Message from the station?"

Zhen Wu Shook Head.

"No. But the area around us seems to have been trapped by a formation, and the station is inside it too.

Our journey has probably been delayed."

Lu Shui found it somewhat regrettable, but since he had been dragged into this, he did not mind wasting some time here.

Zhen Wu hesitated for a moment at the side before saying,

"Young master, is there really No Way to contact the clan leader?"

This place had now been completely sealed off. All sorts of cultivation methods were useless; even cell phone signals were gone.

But Zhen Wu felt that the clan leader and Madam Clan Leader loved their young master so dearly that they would surely have left behind some secret weapon.

Yet he had asked once before and had not received a good answer.

Now he could only ask again.

Lu Shui looked at Zhen Wu and Shook Head.

"No."

Let alone the fact that there really was No more way— even if there were, he could not possibly contact His Parents.

If he did, would not his attempt to Break Off Engagement immediately go down the drain?

In a certain basement.

"The Faceless Sect has already sent half its people to investigate those people. The pressure on our side has eased considerably," said a Woman.

"It is only a delaying tactic. We still cannot stand against the Faceless Sect. We can only Take A Step on a dangerous path," Liang Tie said in a low voice. "Find those people's location and move closer. If we can Join forces with them, there is hope.

But they might Also possible Join forces with the Faceless Sect.

It depends on how high the price we offer is.

The Mysterious Book is in our hands. We hold the greater advantage."

At this moment, a girl said somewhat uneasily,

"Father, they did save me. Is it really alright to drag them into this?"

The Woman sighed.

"Zheng'er, the Cultivation World is even crueler than you imagine."

Liang Tie also said,

"Zheng'er, the cruel part of this is that although you were not the one who framed them, as long as they hold it against you, you will still have to bear the responsibility."

"Wouldn't it be fine if we just handed the item over?" Liang Zheng Lowered her Head and spoke softly.

Liang Tie let out a soft sigh and Said nothing.
