These younger generations of Taoist masters are becoming increasingly disrespectful and lacking in manners.
Wu Chenxi didn't mind teasing him to pass the time in this boring life.
However, the sins committed by his ancestors will naturally bring him retribution. This kid doesn't seem to have any bad karma, but his eyes are too lively, so it seems he has other plans.
However, the other party shouldn't have set their sights on her. Today, she's going to teach them a lesson.
Kuang Wu already knew that only Wu Shenpo lived alone in the house, so he no longer cared about his image. "I'm telling you, old woman, don't be so shameless. I'm talking to you nicely. Now just tell me, how did you come up with the idea of demolishing that house to break the formation?"
He'd been hiding ever since he arrived in this small town, and he'd been holding back his anger for a long time. Today, he was finally going to vent it on this old woman; she was simply ungrateful.
"So young, and you're already deaf. Didn't I just tell you?" Wu Chenxi shook her head with great regret. "I think it's not just deafness, but also mental confusion. Why don't you go see a doctor?"
"..." Kuang Wu looked at her sinisterly, "Don't think you're invincible just because you've learned a move or two. Today I'll teach you how to be a decent human being."
After saying that, he threw out an array plate. This was one of the magical artifacts his master had left him. As long as one was inside it, the nightmare buried deep in his heart would reappear. This old woman was so ugly, and he didn't know how twisted her heart was. It would be good to teach her a lesson so that she could have a proper talk with him later.
Wu Chenxi didn't want to waste her energy playing with him here. They'd already come knocking on her door; did they really think she had no temper?
With a slight twitch of his fingers, Kuang Wu was suddenly alarmed to find that the witch who had been standing in front of him had vanished.
He'd already fallen into a trap before he'd even made a move.
What alarmed him most was not that he had found the problem, but that he couldn't even see what the problem was.
They were still in the main room, but there were only empty tables and chairs opposite them.
He thought the other party was just using a trick, so he kicked the stool in front of him. But in that instant, the scene changed.
At this moment, he was deep in the mountains, at the foot of which was the ruins of Xu Youzhi's place, which he had visited earlier that day.
His mind, which had been relatively clear, suddenly became confused. What was he doing here?
By the way, he came here to make contact with the person who set up the formation here. If he could get in touch with them, he would be able to find a powerful backer.
Now that his master is gone, it's incredibly difficult for him to fight alone.
I heard that the other party is a prominent family on a certain island. If I can get on their good side and become their honored guest, then I will never have to worry about not having a life of wealth and luxury.
When he arrived at the ruins, even the mud bricks had been smashed, and the broken jade pieces he had used to set up the formation were nowhere to be found.
What about other places?
He felt a lightness in his body, and then he was in a different place.
This was still where he had set up his formation. The villagers were gathered here, wielding hoes and digging at the wall.
Thinking of the ruins of Qianjin Village, he immediately understood what these people wanted to do. This wouldn't do; he had gone to great lengths to set up this scheme.
He jumped forward to stop it, saying, "It's such a pity that this perfectly good house has collapsed..."
But the other person seemed not to see him and walked right past him. They pulled together, stretching the rope tied to the beam, and the house that had been standing there collapsed right in front of him.
Only then did he realize that he had set up a formation inside the house, which had now been violently destroyed by these people.
He was filled with resentment and anger, thinking, "You are causing destruction..."
His roar went unheard by the crowd, who instead chatted and laughed. "Now that the house has collapsed, that ghost won't come out, but we can't let our guard down. We need to clear all these bricks."
“Yes, didn’t we go to Qianjin Village to take a look? They even broke down the mud bricks. I heard they found some pretty stones inside. Why don’t we give it a try?”
"Then hurry up and finish this quickly so you can go back home and not delay what's to come," the old man who had been standing by supervising said as he walked over with his hands behind his back. "Carry all the wood and tiles to the threshing ground and let them dry in the sun. The village will need them later."
Every blade of grass and every tree is a treasure; even if you feel a little disgusted with them, you can't bear to throw them away.
At worst, let the sun shine for a while longer; that will also help dispel bad luck.
Kuang Wu stood by, watching helplessly as the jade stones he had previously set up were taken by these ignorant villagers.
He tried to grab it, but couldn't touch it at all.
This scene kept changing, passing through several villages, and he could only watch helplessly.
When he stood in Xunjia Village again and saw that Li Wang's house was still intact, he couldn't muster any energy.
In any case, the final result is the same. He is very confused and doesn't understand what he has worked so hard for.
After working so hard for so long, is it all for nothing in the end?
Even now, he hasn't been able to find out who ruined his master's plans.
He waited there until dark, but there was still no movement from Xunjia Village.
But a voice inside him told him that he would only have a chance to break free once Xunjia Village broke the formation.
...
When Hua Xiangyun returned to the courtyard, she saw Kuang Wu standing there.
"How did he end up here?" She only received the news when she finished work, telling them to wait for him to arrive.
Because the sun was so strong today, Ren Jinpeng and his team dared not walk outside in the blazing sun, which caused the communication to be blocked.
But since she had already left the village, she had no choice but to return first.
She never expected to encounter such a big surprise as soon as she entered the house alone. Even though she had never met Kuang Wu in person, she could sense his spiritual energy fluctuations.
Wu Chenxi came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea. "You're back earlier than usual today."
I just finished cooking the rice; we can eat in a bit.
Now that the weather is cold, they all like to eat breakfast early so they can go to their rooms to rest sooner.
"Is he in a meditative state?" Hua Xiangyun looked at Kuang Wu curiously. How big of a heart does it take to be able to meditate in a strange place?
Wu Chenxi scoffed, "You think too highly of him. This is just an illusion. He's trapped in the formation right now. We'll see when he breaks free."
Hua Xiangyun curiously circled around a few times, but couldn't see any trace of the formation.
Wu Chenxi said, "Once your cultivation reaches the seventh level, I will pass on the remaining formations to you."
I thought that no matter how dire Lingmeng Island was, it should still have preserved some of its past treasures, but in the end, each generation is worse than the last. Whether in character or cultivation, they are far from what the legends say.
Wu Chenxi couldn't help but feel disappointed at this thought. She had expected a tough battle ahead, which would also be a good opportunity to improve herself. Who knew that someone of this level would dare to challenge her?
