There was a pause on the other end of the line before the voice of the powerful official came. "Master, aren't you going with us?" Could it be that he had misunderstood? The master had clearly shown interest in the trip before, but had changed his mind now? Or had something happened that he didn't know about that made the master change his mind? Anything that could affect the master must be no small matter. The powerful official wanted to ask, but in the end didn't. People of their status were most taboo about prying into other people's information, as it could cost lives. Li Shu didn't hide it either, and directly told him about the villa area's evil formation. The powerful official listened with a frown on his face. "They went to such great lengths to set up this formation, stealing the luck of those wealthy families. What were they trying to do?" Li Shu shrugged. "There are so many things they can do. For example, with good luck, things that would otherwise be impossible can be accomplished. For example, reducing humanity's luck, making them even more vulnerable in the war between humans and ghosts... This villa area is where the city's most fortunate people gather. There's no better place to set up the formation. Unfortunately, it was discovered too late. The Gathering Evil Formation is already deeply entangled with these people. If we break it rashly, they will be retaliated and killed instantly. We have to take our time to break it. I've tampered with the formation since I arrived, and now I have to guard it here and can't leave to prevent any further accidents." Li Shu spoke with a mixture of truth and falsehood. She wouldn't tell anyone about the two ghosts. "Master, can I go over and take a look?" the powerful official asked. This was his area, and he hadn't known about such a serious incident. It was a serious dereliction of duty. He had to go and take a closer look. "Okay, come on over." After the two ended their call, Li Shu turned and headed back to the Li residence. She had originally wanted to go out for a stroll, but now that the powerful minister was coming to see the Gathering Evil Formation, she had no choice but to wait until he had finished. Fortunately, the powerful minister was a man of action. After getting Li Shu's permission, he didn't waste time driving and instead used his strange energy to teleport to Li Shu's front door. If Li Shu hadn't been there, he would have simply teleported right in. "It's in the backyard, come right in." Just as the powerful minister was about to ring the doorbell, Li Shu's voice suddenly rang in his ear. Telepathic? Startled, the powerful minister glanced around and saw a palm-sized paper figurine standing on the wall, its hands on its hips, staring at him. Noticing it, the figurine turned and entered the courtyard. The powerful minister had seen Li Shu's paper figurine before, and without hesitation, followed. They reached the backyard, where Li Shu was already waiting. "I'll show you around." Upon receiving the man, Li Shu wasted no time and began to lead the group through the recitation area. She would linger a bit longer at key points in the Gathering Evil Formation. As a result, the powerful official noticed nothing. But knowing Li Shu well, he couldn't possibly be taking him around the villa complex for no reason. So, he simply activated a strange energy to investigate. Using this strange power, the scene before him suddenly changed dramatically, startling the powerful official. The once clear sky darkened, and wisps of black air emanated from the magnificent villas, coalescing into a strange formation in the air. The formation shifted gently, seemingly devouring the black air. As the black air was continuously absorbed by the formation, it also shifted constantly. Several blood-red threads dangled from the formation, connecting to each villa. As the formation continued to devour the black air, the black threads connecting the villas grew increasingly red.
