Chapter 146: Magic Array Above the Head
"Hey, what's wrong with you guys?
This yard is our family's ancestral property. Who are you and why do you occupy our house?
I'm warning you, be careful of my nephew from the Shadow Sect coming back, or you'll be in big trouble!"
An old man with gray hair and a hunched body stood in the middle of the yard, leaning on a cane and trembling.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, his cloudy eyes filled with anger and vigilance.
The third elder, who had already appeared, heard the shouting of the people opposite him. His face seemed to be wearing a cold mask, without any expression, and he did not answer.
He just stood there quietly, emitting an elusive aura.
In comparison, the sect leader and others who came out later looked bewildered, as if they had fallen into a thick fog.
The fourth elder, in particular, was filled with confusion.
I wondered to myself: Could it be that the owner of this yard has returned? But hasn't this yard been abandoned for years, with no one paying attention to it?
Why did the master come back at this critical moment, and kept saying that his nephew was in the Shadow Sect?
Humph, a mere third-rate sect dares to use it to scare people.
This is really ridiculous. Do you really think you can scare him?
The third elder's eyes were indifferent, without a trace of warmth, and he asked coldly:
"Words are not enough. If you really say this yard belongs to your family, then produce evidence. What proof do you have?"
After hearing this, the old lady opposite reached into her sleeve tremblingly, fumbled for a long time, and then tremblingly took out a yellowed land deed.
She squinted her eyes, got close to the deed and examined it carefully, then said slowly:
"This... this is the deed to my yard... see it?
It's written clearly in black and white. What, do you guys still want to go against your conscience and take away my family's ancestral property?"
Upon hearing this, the sect leader and the great elder looked at each other and took a few steps back tacitly.
They had their own plans in mind, intending to sit back and wait and see how the Third Elder would deal with the situation.
It would be great if we could attract people from the Shadow Sect through this.
In this way, they will have a better chance of success when dealing with the Third Elder later.
Seeing that the Fourth Elder was still standing beside the Third Elder in a daze, the First Elder quickly reached out and pulled him back.
At the same time, he did not forget to give him a look, signaling him not to act rashly.
At this time, the sect leader's eyes were always fixed on the third elder, and the doubts in his heart became more and more serious.
He muttered to himself: What is the intention of these three elders behaving like this now?
He never acted like this before!
Normally, he is arrogant and domineering, but now that people are pointing at his nose and scolding him, how can he remain so indifferent?
Could it be that his long-lost conscience was finally found at this time?
"Hmph, tell me the price. How much spirit stones? I want this yard."
The Third Elder's voice was still cold, as if nothing in the world could stir up any ripples in his heart.
"Hey, don't think that just because you have a few spirit stones in your pocket, what's the matter? Do you want to throw money at us?"
After hearing what the third elder said, a young man on the opposite side showed a look of disdain on his face, curled his lips, and replied loudly.
"Let me tell you, with the few spirit stones you have, I don't even care about them."
After saying that, he raised his hand and took out a storage bag quite ostentatiously.
With a slight shake of his wrist, the spirit stones inside poured out like rain, forming a small hill on the ground.
Upon closer inspection, they were actually quite precious mid-grade spirit stones.
Now, the anticipation on the faces of the sect leader and others became more and more obvious. They looked on eagerly, wishing that the third elder would fight with these people immediately.
In this case, the people of the Shadow Sect will definitely come forward to uphold justice. After all, the one with the highest cultivation level in this courtyard right now is the Third Elder.
Although there were seven or eight people on the opposite side, at first glance, none of them had reached the Nascent Soul stage. If they really started fighting, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg and would be a waste of their lives.
However, the Fourth Elder was feeling a little uneasy at the moment, secretly muttering:
Although these people's cultivation is not high, they are quite arrogant. Could it be that they really have a nephew in the Shadow Sect to support them?
Otherwise, how could these Jindan-stage cultivators come up with so many mid-grade spirit stones so easily?
I'm afraid this matter is not that simple.
"Since you don't want spirit stones, then what exactly do you need?
As long as you ask, I can exchange it with you for this yard."
The third elder's tone changed slightly, revealing a hint of urgency.
Hearing the Third Elder's words, Chen Wan'er, who had been hiding nearby, couldn't help but feel moved and began to think secretly:
She had searched the yard carefully before and found nothing of importance.
But looking at the Third Elder's determined look, it is obvious that he does not want to give up this place.
Could it be that she was careless before and missed something crucial?
Thinking of this, Chen Wan'er flashed and quietly entered the dark room again.
This time, she was determined to search the dark room carefully inch by inch, and not miss any corner that might hold secrets.
Chen Wan'er held her breath and began a meticulous search in the dark room.
Her eyes were like a searchlight, sweeping across the walls and corners inch by inch, not missing any tiny gaps;
His hands gently and nimbly felt each brick and stone, trying to sense the mysteries that might be hidden in them.
She didn't even let go of the seemingly normal floor. She carefully pried open the wooden boards and leaned over to see if there were any secrets hidden underneath.
However, after spending a lot of energy and time, still nothing was achieved.
She frowned, her mind full of doubts: Could it be that there was something wrong with my thinking?
Could it be that the crucial thing was not hidden in this dark room at all, but was carried by the Third Elder?
However, judging by the tone of his conversation with those people just now, his attachment to this courtyard was evident, and he was obviously very reluctant to give it up.
Chen Wan'er looked around and thought to herself that apart from this underground dark room, the layout of the courtyard and the house outside was simple and clear at a glance, and there was really nothing unusual to see.
While Chen Wan'er was thinking hard, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in her mind, like a lightning that cuts through the night sky, illuminating the corner that she had always ignored - the top of her head!
She looked up suddenly, and found that there seemed to be something unusual hidden in the space above her head.
The color and texture of that area are slightly different from the surrounding area, as if silently telling a secret.
Chen Wan'er did not dare to delay for even a moment, and immediately concentrated her mind and mobilized her spiritual awareness.
At the same time, she skillfully coordinated her spiritual power to form a soft and precise force, exploring slowly.
After a moment, a magic circle engraved above his head gradually emerged.
The magic circle emitted a faint glow, and complex patterns were intertwined together, like a mysterious net, which was daunting.
Chen Wan'er looked embarrassed and secretly complained in her heart:
This magic circle is so mysterious, how can we remove it?
No wonder the Third Elder cherishes this courtyard so much, it turns out it hides such a secret.
She hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask her second brother for help.
At that moment, she asked her original body Gao Huohuo to ask the second senior brother. Not long after, she received some information and pictures from the second senior brother.
Chen Wan'er read it carefully and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It seems that if she wants to successfully remove this magic circle, she will have to spend a lot of effort.
