Mu Xue Wants to Make a Phone Call to Lu Shui

The Mu Family.

Mu Xue sat in the backyard, resting her chin on her hand as she watched Yalin run around within the formation.

"Ahhh, don't pull my hair."

"Ouch, stop hitting my butt, it's blooming."

"Sister, save me quickly."

Mu Xue watched, finding it quite amusing. In her previous life, having a child was something she desperately dreamed of.

But it never happened, not until the very end.

Every time she felt sad, Lu Shui would sit by her side, saying the same unchanging words for millennia: "It will happen, I..."

En?

Just as she began to reminisce, Mu Xue's brow suddenly furrowed. She felt a sense of unease and worry.

"Why am I suddenly feeling so uneasy?" Mu Xue wondered.

"Is there danger nearby that could threaten me?

No, that shouldn't be it."

Subsequently, Mu Xue called for Ding Liang.

"Eldest Young Lady?" Ding Liang inquired about her needs.

Mu Xue sat down and remained silent for a moment before saying:

"Give me your mobile phone."

She had already destroyed her previous phone.

Ding Liang said nothing and immediately retrieved a phone for his young lady.

Mu Xue took the phone, opened the call interface, and manually dialed a phone number.

Then, she placed the phone to her ear, waiting for the other person to answer.

She felt a bit nervous, a bit worried.

Especially since the call wasn't being answered.

Mu Xue, who had been relatively calm, slowly furrowed her brow.

Just as she thought the call was about to end, the other person suddenly answered.

Soon, a rather stern voice came from the other end:

"Who is this?"

There's someone next to him? You don't need to be well.

Mu Xue remained silent, and the other person also fell silent.

After about ten seconds.

"Ridiculous." The person then hung up the phone.

Mu Xue returned the phone to Ding Liang, confirming he was alright.

With this, Mu Xue felt much more at ease. It was a shame he had someone with him; otherwise, she could have listened for a few more moments.

"Won't the Eldest Young Lady buy a new phone?" Ding Liang asked.

Mu Xue shook her head:

"Not for now."

She didn't need to buy one herself; someone would buy it for her.

But she would have to wait three more years. She could wait.

Lu Shui hung up the phone, truly baffled. He was busy with serious matters, and someone had the audacity to make a harassing call.

He was busy right now; if he had time, he would definitely draw a circle for them.

Lu Shui didn't dwell on it further. He took out the Eight Directions Array Diagram, intending to take the first step in hunting fierce beasts.

The first part of the first step was to complete half of the Eight Directions Array Diagram.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling could only stand behind and await Lu Shui's instructions.

They felt their young master was acting strangely, and they had no idea what he was up to.

Lu Shui was currently using his Spiritual Energy to engrave the follow-up formations onto the array diagram. Before long, he reached out and said:

"Fifty Sixth-grade spirit stones."

Zhen Wu didn't hesitate and immediately produced fifty Sixth-grade spirit stones.

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were initially puzzled about where so many spirit stones would go. But the next moment, they understood. As Lu Shui placed the spirit stones onto the array diagram, they were directly absorbed.

Fifty Sixth-grade spirit stones vanished on the array diagram in an instant.

The Eight Directions Array Diagram showed no changes.

"What, what is this?" Zhen Wu asked subconsciously.

"The Eight Directions Array Diagram," Lu Shui said calmly.

The Eight Directions Array Diagram corresponded to the Eight Directions Array Formation. With Lu Shui's current strength, he could at most complete three more directions of the array.

After a long time, Lu Shui finally put down the Eight Directions Array Diagram. He had completed it.

Two hundred Sixth-grade spirit stones were used in total.

"Young Master, what are you planning to do?" Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling truly could not understand.

Lu Shui drew a small array on the ground, then placed the Eight Directions Array Diagram on it. Subsequently, the Eight Directions Array Diagram began to integrate into the land.

After doing this, Lu Shui finally spoke:

"To put a lock on the Barren Grassland."

Zhen Wu and Zhen Ling were puzzled. Just as they wanted to ask, they suddenly felt a Strange Aura begin to spread around them.

The spread was incredibly fast, as if the entire highland and the forest below were enveloped by this aura.

In an instant, they felt their surroundings change, yet in reality, there was not the slightest alteration.

"This is?" Zhen Ling looked around, unable to describe it for a moment.

Lu Shui strode forward, saying by the way:

"A Mystic Array."

Yes, a mystic array.

He needed to prevent outsiders from interfering with him, and also to guard against the Fierce Beast escaping.

Only by using a mystic array would there be enough buffer time.

Next, he would expand the array formation for the Eight Directions Array Diagram, pushing the Four Directions Array Formation within to its limit.

Only then would there be a chance to kill the Fierce Beast.

His resolve was set, and Lu Shui naturally would not overthink things.

He had sufficient confidence.

In the forest.

Le Feng stood before a corpse, his brow furrowed. He muttered to himself:

"An Insect Cultivator. Judging by his appearance, he should have had Third Tier Cultivation before death. Is this the Liu Huo that Dongfang Haoyue mentioned?"

Le Feng was unsure. Soon, he saw that the Insect Cultivator had a Storage Magic Treasure on him.

After hesitating, he retrieved the Storage Magic Treasure from a distance, examining it even more cautiously.

Soon, Le Feng reached a conclusion:

"The Storage Magic Treasure has no issues. The contents inside are consistent with the information I received. I can confirm this person is the Liu Huo who stole the item. But who killed him? And why didn't they take the Storage Magic Treasure? Was it deliberate?"

Then, Le Feng examined the corpse again and found that Liu Huo's fatal wound was very neat. The killer likely used a sword.

"A Sword Cultivator? A somewhat obsessive Sword Cultivator might indeed only kill and not bother taking items."

He paused, then thought of something else:

"Then, is it possible that the other party is also a Hidden Heaven Sect Disciple?"

Subsequently, Le Feng took out a bronze mirror. The mirror was activated, and some words appeared on it.

At the very top were the words "Hidden Heaven."

Below that was a list of names arranged in order.

Le Feng scrolled to the very end.

Ninety-sixth: Liu Huo.

"It doesn't show he was killed, nor does it show he is under review," Le Feng looked at the Insect Cultivator Liu Huo and fell into thought.

Yes, he was actually a Hidden Heaven Sect Disciple. Recently, a new target, Liu Huo, appeared on the Hidden Sky Secret Codex.

He was specifically brought here to test the waters.

Once on the Hidden Sky Secret Codex, one becomes an enemy of the Hidden Heaven Sect. Killing them can earn a large amount of Sect merit.

Therefore, their Sect is quite dangerous. As disciples of the Sect, how many haven't engaged in assassination?

Thus, maintaining a Low Profile became the main theme of their Sect.

The most helpless thing, actually, was that some Sects would pay a large sum of money to have certain people placed on the Hidden Sky Secret Codex.

Their sect, however, didn't agree. If they had, they would have become an assassination organization.

Subsequently, Le Feng looked around again, and then he got a new answer:

"It shouldn't be other people from the sect who killed him. It's highly likely he targeted someone. He was supposed to be the hunter, but in the end, he was killed by his prey due to an accident."

He found Spirit Insects in some surrounding areas. These were prepared beforehand.

"He made a lot of preparations, yet he was still killed. He likely provoked someone who was hiding their strength."

As for how he determined it wasn't someone from their sect, it was mainly because of the Storage Magic Treasure.

The one who robbed Liu Huo was the perpetrator. His Storage Magic Treasure must have been very valuable. He didn't believe any Hidden Heaven Sect Disciple would let that go.

Looking at the traces of fighting at the scene, the perpetrator should have been very composed. There was no way they didn't have time.

Therefore, the killer was likely a rich person who was hiding their strength.

Just as Le Feng reached this conclusion, he suddenly felt a subtle change around him.

There were some minor issues with the environment, especially since the mark he left had directly lost contact. When he looked at the corpse, he found that it had also disappeared.

He didn't panic. Instead, he took out a Little Bird. As soon as this Little Bird appeared, it looked dizzy. Seeing this, Le Feng frowned.

"A Mystic Array? And not just any ordinary Mystic Array. What happened inside?"

Le Feng decided to go in and take a look. As for Liu Huo's corpse, he would come back to retrieve it later.
