Chapter Sixteen Divination Determines Auspiciousness and Inauspiciousness

Lu Shui didn't have to wait long before Zhen Ling returned.

"Young Master, bad news." This was the first thing Zhen Ling said upon her return.

Lu Shui wasn't too concerned. If someone was targeting him, it was unlikely they'd bring good news, right?

"What specifically?" Lu Shui asked.

Although Zhen Ling didn't know if Lu Shui would act recklessly, she still needed to report truthfully:

"Based on my investigation, the general situation here is that people from the Faceless Sect are besieging a small family surnamed Liang.

The purpose of the siege is that mysterious book, but I couldn't find out what specifically the book is."

"The Liang family? The Faceless Sect?" Lu Shui was a little doubtful. He had never heard of them.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling also shook their heads:

"This is the first time we've heard of them too."

Since no one had heard of them, there was nothing more to discuss.

Lu Shui said:

"Then what's the bad news?"

"They seem to be intentionally or unintentionally approaching us, or rather, the Liang family is deliberately moving closer to us. Our whereabouts have been exposed.

Furthermore, I just learned that the Liang family should have three Bright God experts, and the Faceless Sect has even more. Their Heavenly Maiden, Left and Right Protectors, and Four Great Elders might all be Bright God experts.

Now, the people from the Faceless Sect should also be gathered together and heading our way.

The situation is very unfavorable for us."

Three from the Liang family, seven from the Faceless Sect.

Lu Shui frowned. Killing ten Fourth Tier experts in one go would be a bit difficult.

However, it should be manageable.

Bright Gods were Fourth Tier. Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were also Fourth Tier Bright Gods.

Lu Shui himself was only 2.3, and it would take him another night to advance.

But even if he advanced, it wouldn't help. A Second Tier expert facing a Fourth Tier expert was like throwing oneself away.

He needed to try using external forces.

Seeing Lu Shui not speak, Zhen Wu couldn't sit still:

"Young Master, let's escape. As long as we can hold on until the Mo Family reacts, the problem won't be too big."

Lu Shui looked at Zhen Wu. This was an option, but it wasn't the right time.

The most important thing was that they had already been targeted. Running away would make him miss the opportunity for a counterattack.

Just then, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling felt the surroundings being sealed off.

Zhen Wu frowned:

"They're here. Zhen Ling, protect the Young Master and leave. I'll stop them."

Zhen Ling was reluctant. She wanted to stay behind to cover their retreat.

But before Zhen Ling could say anything, Lu Shui spoke:

"You two should leave together. Splitting up means being defeated one by one, and you'll die even faster."

Zhen Wu looked at Lu Shui, hesitating:

"Then can the Young Master escape alone?"

Why should I escape? Lu Shui was a little Meng Bi, but he couldn't be bothered to explain. He could only nod:

"It's not a big problem."

Not a big problem means a very big problem. Our Young Master is too unreliable. But splitting up will indeed lead to faster deaths, and the enemy has too many Fourth Tier experts.

Seeing their hesitation, Lu Shui continued:

"I have a magic treasure from my parents. Even if I'm caught, I can hold on for a few days."

Hearing this, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling felt a little more at ease. Then Zhen Wu said:

"We will buy enough time for the Young Master. The Young Master should leave quickly and not linger."

After Lu Shui nodded, Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling walked out. Although it felt like they were abandoning him, they still had to do it.

Stupid, right?

"Stupid." Lu Shui watched the two leave and couldn't help but say, "My parents didn't give me any magic treasures. You believed me just like that.

Speaking of which, why didn't my parents give me any magic treasures? Aren't they afraid I'll get into an accident?"

After thinking for a moment, Lu Shui remembered. He did have life-saving magic treasures, but they were all in his previous storage bag.

Regrettably, he didn't remember where he had discarded the storage bag.

Without dwelling on it, Lu Shui picked up a chopstick and began drawing a formation on the ground.

He used the power of Heaven and Earth this time.

There was a large formation outside. Lu Shui wanted to borrow external power, so naturally, that formation was the only one he could borrow.

It was already too late for him to set up his own formation.

Therefore, he wanted to connect to the external formation through the power of Heaven and Earth. When the time came, he would have a chance to reverse the situation.

Lu Shui's formation drawing was not fast. While drawing, he could already hear the sound of fighting outside.

It should be True Martial True Spirit fighting against people from the Faceless Sect.

Lu Shui did not get distracted and continued to draw the formation using the power of Heaven and Earth.

Not long after, the formation took shape. Subsequently, Lu Shui formed a hand seal and circulated the formation.

This formation was not large, but its circulation speed was extremely fast, and it was incredibly profound.

Let alone someone of the same tier, even True Martial True Spirit couldn't make heads or tails of it.

A moment later, the formation stopped circulating. However, the originally independent formation now had several external connecting lines.

These connecting lines emitted different power auras, some strong, some weak.

Lu Shui looked at them and frowned:

"Much weaker than expected. At most, it gives me Two Strikes' Power.

And these two strikes cannot cause any Harm to a Fifth Tier expert.

This is not a good thing."

Fourth Tier Bright God, Fifth Tier Law Body.

Fourth Tier and Fifth Tier were incomparable. Fourth Tier was 'god gathering', while Fifth Tier was condensing the True Law Body, where power transformed from liquid to substance.

Facing a Fifth Tier expert as a Fourth Tier expert was like an egg hitting a rock.

Vulnerable.

What Lu Shui was concerned about now was whether the Faceless Sect or the Liang Family would suddenly reveal a Fifth Tier expert. If one truly appeared, then he would be in danger.

"Should I take a gamble? Gamble that they indeed don't have any Fifth Tier experts?"

Lu Shui tapped the ground with his chopsticks and began to ponder.

However, he didn't ponder for long before he had an idea.

"Divination Determines Auspiciousness and Inauspiciousness. If it's inauspicious, I'll immediately take my people and leave."

Although Lu Shui had some confidence in himself, he wasn't someone who would act recklessly. If he didn't consider things a bit more, he might have another psychological trauma.

One time was already enough for him to endure.

After making his decision, Lu Shui drew a circle on the ground, then drew a line through the middle with his chopsticks, dividing it into two.

Next, Lu Shui wrote the character for 'fierce' on the left and the character for 'auspicious' on the right.

Finally, he placed the chopsticks horizontally in the center and gave them a spin.

Next moment, the chopsticks spun like a Lucky Turntable.

Lu Shui watched the chopsticks intently. The position they pointed to would determine his next course of action.

So, he had to be serious.

Soon, the chopsticks began to slow down. At this moment, the position was on the 'auspicious' side, but it was still slowly moving towards 'inauspicious'.

The tip of the chopsticks had already reached the Edge of 'auspicious', and it would soon enter the 'inauspicious' area.

Lu Shui frowned. If it crossed the Boundary Line, he would have to leave immediately.

However, in the next instant, the chopsticks stopped.

It had stopped precisely on the Boundary Line.

Lu Shui looked at the chopsticks, his face filled with thought. Soon, he had an Enlightenment:

"It's not inauspicious, so it must be auspicious. It seems they don't have any Fifth Tier experts."

Upon receiving this answer, Lu Shui's mood improved considerably.

But as soon as he picked up the chopsticks, Lu Shui immediately retreated a short Distance.

Subsequently, a Jian pierced the spot where he had been standing.

Lu Shui looked up and saw that six Masked Men had already Appeared at the Doorway.

They looked at Lu Shui as if he were a weak lamb.
