Chapter 117 Shangguan Peiyu is actually this powerful?
Yao Qingfeng thought for a moment, "How about each family sends one person? Since we're all in the same boat, this is the fairest way. If anything happens, no one can escape responsibility, and it's also better to keep secrets."
Chi Shangxing exchanged a glance with the two elders, his eyes somewhat complicated. Shangguan Peiyu asked with a coquettish laugh, "What's wrong, Elder Chi? Do you want to keep to yourself?"
Ikegami cleared his throat. “Since you’ve made this decision, we can’t just let you take the risk. Please wait a moment.”
He whispered a few words to the two elders, and one of them made a phone call, summoning a disciple over. "He is our Chi family's third disciple, Aheng. You will follow them and help them with their work, but today's matter must be kept absolutely secret."
So, the third disciple, along with the eldest disciple brought by Yao Qingfeng and the second disciple brought by Shangguan Peiyu, prepared to take action.
"Go and buy a can of gasoline, and anything else you need. Get everything ready, and then we'll act when it's late at night and everyone is quiet," Yao Qingfeng instructed.
"No need, we have two cans of gasoline in our car," Shangguan Peiyu said with a light laugh.
Yao Qingfeng had a feeling that he had fallen into this woman's trap.
"Patriarch Shangguan, you've really arranged everything perfectly, leaving no one else to worry about anything." Yao Qingfeng said this as if he were praising someone, but in reality, he was mocking them.
Shangguan Peiyu pretended not to have heard anything, "Patriarch Yao, I always do things carefully and strive for perfection. For some things, I am naturally prepared."
"So it seems that you were the one who tried to set fire to Yu Xiaoluo's return banquet that day!" Yao Qingfeng's voice turned cold. He was increasingly convinced that Shangguan Peiyu was a madwoman.
Shangguan Peiyu wasn't angry at all. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Hey, Patriarch Yao, don't wrong an innocent person. How could I have the guts to set fire to so many people? Have I gone mad?"
Yao Qingfeng snorted coldly, and Chi Shangxing also looked at Shangguan Peiyu with a suspicious gaze. It was not surprising that a woman who could kill her husband and take all his property for herself could do such a thing.
Moreover, he recently sensed that Shangguan Peiyu's entire demeanor and aura had changed, and even her aura had become fierce and powerful, seemingly more than a level higher than before.
He asked Shangguan Peiyu probingly, "Patriarch Shangguan, have you been cultivating lately? You seem younger and more beautiful than before."
The topic suddenly shifted to this, and it was Chi Shangxing who brought it up. No one thought there was anything else going on; instead, they were all cursing in their hearts, "This old bastard, does he even have designs on a ruthless woman like Shangguan Peiyu?"
Only Shangguan Peiyu knew what he meant, but she pretended to be stupid and chuckled, "Old man Chi, didn't you just marry a young wife in her twenties not long ago? How come an old woman like me can catch your eye?"
Chi Shangxing smiled awkwardly, "No, no, I thought you looked younger because you had practiced some kind of particularly effective magic."
Yao Qingfeng then realized, "Could it be an evil cultivator?"
His eldest disciple said, "There was a rumor recently that the Shangguan family head had an affair with a demon, a fox spirit, maybe that's what he cultivates."
Shangguan Peiyu's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after being exposed in public.
Yao Qingfeng's eldest disciple said, "Ah, if I had known it would be this effective, I would have found a demon to cultivate with too. Maybe I could have made rapid progress and improved by several realms."
Yao Qingfeng coughed. "Insolence! Stop talking nonsense! The head of the Shangguan family is a prestigious and powerful family. How could he do something that violates the prohibitions? Absolutely impossible!"
Seeing that he couldn't figure out anything, Chi Shangxing said seriously, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business."
There is no turning back now.
He looked at the three designated people: his third disciple Wang Niu, Yao Qingfeng's eldest disciple Mo Shaochong, and Shangguan Peiyu's second disciple Zhang Kuang. "The three of you, go now. Disguise yourselves and be careful to hide yourselves. Once you get there, be sure to act when the opportunity arises. Don't be too impulsive, understand?"
The three nodded and went out.
The remaining few people were drinking tea, not knowing what to talk about, awkwardly eating sunflower seeds, and waiting for their news.
Not long after, the three disciples returned dejectedly. "Master, we couldn't get close at all. There was a formation there that we couldn't break."
The group fell silent. If it was Yu Xiaoluo who set up the formation, none of them might be able to break it.
The thin elder standing next to Ikegami said to Ikegami, "How about I go over and see if I can sabotage it?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Shangguan Peiyu pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll go too."
With that, the group of five drove to that street.
It was late at night, and the street was dimly lit, deserted, quiet, and deserted. The Yu Family Metaphysics Hall had three storefronts, all of which were tightly closed.
When they were two meters away from the gate, the three disciples dared not go any further, while Shangguan Peiyu and the elders clearly sensed a powerful aura and continued to tentatively move forward slowly.
From a meter away from the store, they could see a layer of transparent, water-ripple-like protective array, which was very thick.
The elder frowned, took a step back, and unleashed a formation-breaking talisman, shouting, "Break!"
However, when the golden talisman struck the protective array, a powerful force rebounded it. If the elder hadn't reacted quickly and retreated immediately, he would probably have been injured.
The elder was shocked. He had only heard rumors that Yu Xiaoluo was very powerful, but he did not expect her to be so powerful. His decades of skill could not even make a slight difference. It was clear that the gap between him and Yu Xiaoluo was not just a little bit.
At this moment, he silently retreated, no longer having the courage to try again.
Shangguan Peiyu, however, refused to believe it. She wanted to test her current strength and see if she could contend with Yu Xiaoluo.
Her expression turned serious. She focused her energy, gathering power in her fingertips, and simultaneously unleashed five talismans. The five talismans shone brightly in the dim streetlights as they struck the protective array.
A deep, steady hum was heard, and the water-ripple-shaped protective array actually trembled for a moment, which greatly surprised the elder who was watching from the side.
He never expected that Shangguan Peiyu would be so powerful, that her skills would improve so rapidly. With her current strength, she was no less than the head of the Chi family. His expression became somewhat uncertain.
