Chapter 328 A Feeling of Extreme Danger

She didn't initially have any particular feelings about this suddenly appearing second sister.

There was no expectation, but also no hostility.

It was Chen Xinyue who kept telling her that the other party would take everything away from her that made her feel a sense of urgency.

But everything that has happened recently has overturned her understanding.

In her eyes, her father was an incomparably great man, yet he would bow and scrape to others.

The adult whom his highly skilled father fawned over was also extremely respectful to his newly found second sister.

Is it really necessary to take things from a younger sister like that?

What are you robbing?

If even the Martial Arts Alliance isn't worth their attention, then what do I have that they could possibly value?

Her current state is very contradictory.

Her thoughts had already been stirred up. Even though she knew there was no need to be enemies with the other party, a rift had already formed in her heart, making it impossible for them to be sisters peacefully.

Finally, she could only try to justify her mindset by saying, "Even if they treat you with respect and try to please you, you still cursed their son. If nothing had actually happened today, they would definitely still hold a grudge against you."

Suddenly, a maidservant rushed over: "Young Miss, Miss Chen requests your presence."

Jiang Siying sneered: "My father grounded her so she wouldn't continue spreading rumors outside. If she can't cause trouble outside, does he expect me to go in and watch her cause trouble?"

She turned and left, leaving the little maid looking completely bewildered.

That night.

The night was dark, with neither starlight nor moonlight.

Yu Zhiyi opened her eyes from her meditation. Listening to the howling wind outside, she smiled slightly and said, "Finally, it's here."

She discovered on her first day in Minghan that the feng shui of the mountain was problematic and that someone had set up a feng shui array to change its fortune.

But the key point of the formation is not on the mountain.

To be precise, it was hidden away.

Moreover, this luck-changing array was different from the luck-changing arrays she was familiar with.

The transfer array on Mingshan Mountain is dead.

Unfortunately, much of Mingshan's good fortune had indeed dissipated, and a lot of bad luck and deathly energy had also transferred from elsewhere.

This indicates that the transfer array is normally in a closed state and only operates when it is activated.

She couldn't find the activation condition a few days ago, so she wondered if it needed to be activated manually.

But just as the wind picked up, she clearly felt the fortune-changing array start working!

Two days ago, while wandering in the mountains, she had secretly planted a defensive talisman.

In addition to its defensive function, the defensive talisman she created also had a surveillance function.

Once someone triggers the defensive formation, she will immediately know that person's figure and aura.

However, just now...

The defensive formation remained untouched.

That's interesting.

Yu Zhiyi moved and left the courtyard.

Her speed was unbelievable; she disappeared in the blink of an eye. So fast that even the people protecting her in the courtyard didn't notice anything amiss, let alone know that the person they were supposed to be protecting had already appeared on the back mountain.

Once activated, the formation was completely exposed to Yu Zhiyi, and she quickly located the core of the formation.

"So that's how it is. The person who set up this formation is truly a genius."

This formation cannot be activated by human intervention; it is activated by the wind.

In short, the opponent converted the wind into energy to activate the formation.

The strength of the transfer array depends on the wind speed.

Coincidentally, there was no wind on the mountain during the few days that Yu Zhiyi returned, so the formation had not been activated.

If the weather hadn't changed today, she probably wouldn't have been able to find the key point for a while.

Following the traces of the formation, she quickly found the core of the formation hidden in a secluded place.

She didn't need to do anything extra with this insidious formation; she only needed to destroy it directly, and the person behind it would suffer a backlash.

She didn't have much time and didn't have time to spend with the other person.

Therefore, finding the mastermind behind this as soon as possible will restore a clear sky to Mingshan.

In this way, she can rest assured when she returns to Shengjing in the future.

She gathered spiritual power at her fingertips and prepared to destroy the array's core.

Suddenly, a deep unease rose in her heart, a cold, suffocating feeling of being watched by death.

Without a second thought, she used her lightness skill to leap away from her spot.

The instant she left her spot, a huge crater appeared out of thin air where she had been standing.

The deep pit looked exactly like the marks left by heavenly lightning when she broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and a faint smell of burning seemed to permeate the entire world.

Strangely, there was no one around.

Yu Zhiyi narrowed her eyes and gathered her spiritual power once again.

Sure enough, that chilling feeling crept in again.

Yu Zhiyi snorted coldly and threw out three talismans, while also releasing spiritual energy from her hand.

As the array's core was struck by spiritual energy, three Heavenly Thunder Talismans also struck the object that was secretly preparing to launch a sneak attack.

A sharp wail rang out, and the thing hidden in the shadows could no longer remain hidden; it was a person wearing a black cloak!

The black cloak was now tattered, and the person under it twitched for a moment before losing consciousness; he was surely dead.

Yu Zhiyi took out a sword from her spatial talisman and used it to remove the covering from the cloaked man's face, revealing a charred face.

"Tsk, what a waste of this cloak that can make you invisible."

Since she began cultivating, she has been extremely sensitive to auras. She is quite certain that she has never seen this person before, or at least that his aura is completely unfamiliar to her.

The formation had been broken. She checked around again to make sure there was nothing missing, and then planned to find someone to dispose of the corpse.

Little did they know that the screams of that person were too terrifying, and coupled with the sudden thunder from the back mountain, they all felt a sense of panic. The Jiang family members rushed towards the back mountain to check the situation.

The Jiang brothers, Yuwei and Yuchuan, arrived first. The Jiang brothers also wanted to come over, but they were left behind to appease the guests in the mountains.

Upon seeing the person lying on the ground, Jiang Yuwei's expression changed: "What happened? Why did you kill him?"

Martial arts masters are extremely sensitive to a person's breath; he determined with just one glance that the person was already dead.

Jiang Yuchuan knew his daughter wouldn't attack without reason, so he asked, "Jin'er, are you hurt?"

Jiang Yuwei: "..."

He feels quite helpless facing these sister-obsessed/sister-obsessed, daughter-obsessed people every day.

The other person is dead, and this younger brother is only concerned about whether his daughter is hurt.

Unfortunately, neither the father nor the daughter paid any attention to him. Yu Zhiyi explained to Jiang Yuchuan, "This person is not a Jianghu person, but a Xuanmen person. He just attacked me with a Thunder Control Talisman, but I killed him in return."

She first explained why she took action, and then revealed her discovery: "Father, do you remember me saying that Mingshan has been tampered with, and that everyone living on the mountain will have their fortune stolen?"

Jiang Yuchuan naturally remembered.

He also remembered his daughter saying that the other party's methods were very clever; she could only see the traces of the formation, but could not find the core of the formation.

"But we've found the core of the formation!"

Yu Zhiyi nodded: "Found it. This person jumped out just when I was trying to destroy the array's core."

She felt a little regretful.

Actually, the fastest way to find the mastermind is to capture this cloaked man and then interrogate him through questioning and physical means.

Unfortunately, the person gave her too much of a dangerous feeling at the time, and she didn't have time to think before throwing out three Heavenly Thunder Talismans.

Both being lightning-based talismans, the Heavenly Thunder Talisman is more than ten times more powerful than the Thunder Control Talisman.
