Great Omen

"Hidden Heaven Sect Young Sect Master, Liu Huo."

Lu Shui stood behind An Ye, slowly lowering his sword.

It was over.

Upon hearing Lu Shui state his name, An Ye looked on in incredulity.

"H-how is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. You stole my name, and then used it to threaten me. I can let that slide. What I didn't expect was that you would use Liu Huo's name to engage in such despicable acts," Lu Shui said calmly.

An Ye knelt on the ground, his brow beginning to crack.

He never imagined that Liu Huo truly existed in this world. No, this Liu Huo was the same Liu Huo from last time. How pathetic. He actually made a move against such a person, and even sought him out for a one-on-one fight. What was the difference between that and suicide?

With a thud, An Ye collapsed on the ground, dead.

Lu Shui sheathed his sword. He had brought this sword after learning his lesson last time about not having a weapon. It wasn't particularly special. Those who thought it was powerful usually lacked experience.

Lu Shui glanced at An Ye and said, "Insect Cultivators are indeed weak. Only someone like Father, who proves Dao with strength, would find them troublesome."

Subsequently, Lu Shui extended his hand. He intended to retrieve the Eight Directions Array Diagram. He wanted this item. He had no interest in anything else.

True Martial and True Spirit had already searched the surroundings for a long time, but they couldn't find any trace of Lu Shui. It had been over ten minutes. If this continued, they would truly have to contact the clan leader.

Just as they were growing anxious, they suddenly felt the surrounding environment shatter like a mirror. At this moment, they could finally sense Lu Shui's location. Without any hesitation, they rushed over.

Not long after, they saw Lu Shui. Fortunately, he was unharmed. Lu Shui was still examining the Eight Directions Array Diagram. He was somewhat disappointed; this Eight Directions Array Diagram only contained one direction of the array. It was too weak. He could only supplement the other seven directions himself when he had time. Fortunately, the foundation was sound.

The Eight Directions Array Diagram was a piece of parchment, engraved with formations. Of course, it wasn't real parchment, but a disguise made from the skin of the ancient fierce beast Qiong Qi. In short, there were only two such items in existence. This person was quite surprising.

"Young Master, are you alright?" True Martial and True Spirit asked with concern.

Lu Shui shook his head and said, "Let's go to the center and take a look."

True Martial and True Spirit looked at the corpse behind them. They recognized it immediately – it was the Insect Cultivator who had impersonated Liu Huo. But how had he died? Had the Young Master killed him, or had he already been dead when the Young Master encountered him? In the end, they couldn't find the answer and could only follow Lu Shui as he left.

After some time, Lu Shui and them arrived at the highland in the center of the island. There were still quite a few trees here, but the giant pit in the very center had no trees. There was only a small lake there. Lu Shui stood before the giant pit, gazing at its center in silence.

"This place has already been investigated. Someone has even gone down into the lake in the center to look, and found nothing," True Martial said from the side. Although there was no danger here, after hearing Le Feng's account, they were still worried. They were afraid Lu Shui might encounter some danger, so it was good to be able to leave now.

Lu Shui didn't listen to True Martial. The world in his eyes was different from others. He saw, he saw scenes that others could not. In his eyes, beneath the giant pit, there was not just a lake, but also a fierce beast covered in darkness. This beast was quite enormous. It coiled at the edge of the lake, sleeping, occupying almost half of the lake's area. The seal was gone. It remained here because its body had not yet recovered. It was healing. But this was not important. What was important was that Lu Shui had seen this fierce beast before. Or rather, he had seen it in some of his father's information.

This fierce beast had attacked his mother.

Back then, his father and mother were out playing when they were suddenly attacked by this fierce beast. Although they weren't injured, and his father had protected her very well, his mother still fell ill.

She remained sick for a long time.

More importantly, the pollution from the Lu family originated from the same source as this fierce beast.

"It wasn't a coincidence. The Lu family's pollution was deliberate, absolutely not by chance.

Its target is Mother." Lu Shui watched the fierce beast, his heart remaining calm.

He paused, then Lu Shui spoke:

"Kill it."

He had to kill it, to nip this danger in the bud, regardless of its purpose.

True Martial True Spirit heard Lu Shui speak and was a little confused:

"Young master, who do you want to kill?"

Lu Shui glanced at True Martial, he didn't reply, but was thinking.

Although the opponent was recovering, his strength was not enough, far from enough.

Go back and get reinforcements?

No, he couldn't. Not to mention his own poor impression, he couldn't even explain the reason.

Making a fuss would at most bring his father and mother.

But if his mother came, it would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Even if he showed the Heaven and Earth Array Patterns, he wouldn't find enough reason.

The most likely outcome would be that he himself would be watched even more closely.

In the end, there was only one choice: kill it alone.

"Give me a few months, and I can kill it without injury, but it's too long, I can't wait.

Let alone a few months, even if it's just until tomorrow, I won't be at ease. I have to kill it now." Lu Shui thought to himself.

True Martial was a little scared by Lu Shui's gaze. He felt killing intent in his young master's eyes, but it wasn't directed at him.

He couldn't understand.

"Yo, young master?" True Martial called out.

Lu Shui snapped back to reality, then said:

"Did you bring the Sixth-grade spirit stones?"

True Martial immediately nodded:

"Yes, young master. How many do you need?"

"One thousand." Lu Shui said calmly.

Hearing Lu Shui's words, True Martial and True Spirit were stunned. One, one thousand?

This added up to one Ninth-grade spirit stone.

What was the concept of one Ninth-grade? It was one hundred million First-grade spirit stones. It was enough for a normal cultivator to advance from the First Tier to the Fifth or even Sixth Tier. This was a vast sum that was difficult for others to reach.

Although he didn't know what Lu Shui wanted to do, True Martial still nodded:

"Yes, the clan leader gave it to me before I left."

He himself definitely didn't have that much money. This was pocket money the clan leader gave the young master for his outing.

It just wasn't given to the young master directly.

Lu Shui nodded, it was good that he had it. Then he squatted to the side and began to draw a circle on the ground, then divided it into two with a stroke.

He wrote "fierce" and "auspicious" on the left and right sides.

"What is young master doing?" True Spirit asked curiously.

Lu Shui took out a pair of chopsticks and said:

"Fortune telling."

True Martial: "..."

True Spirit: "..."

What kind of fortune telling was this? They knew what Lu Shui was going to do when they saw him take out the chopsticks.

After all, they had seen it once before, during the time he used a tree branch to find a demon.

They just couldn't tell if it was real or fake.

However, they still wanted to see what would come out of this fortune telling. Normally, it should be auspicious.

Lu Shui naturally didn't care what True Martial and the others were thinking. He spun the chopsticks on the ground.

This time, the chopsticks stopped after only a few spins, without any suspense.

The chopsticks pointed to Zheng Fang Xiong.

"Fierce?" Zhen Wu and the others were a little surprised. Subsequently, he continued:

"Young master, since it's fierce, how about we forget it?"

Although they didn't know what Lu Shui was going to do, it was better not to act recklessly if possible.

Lu Shui put away the chopsticks, then stood up. He looked at the giant pit and said calmly:

"So what if it's fierce?"

"You will still die."

You've seen it, can you give me a recommendation ticket?
