Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 409 Possessing a Treasure is a Crime

When Lu Yang first came to the Chu family not long ago, he stood at the entrance of the manor and discovered that the array covering the Chu family manor was extraordinary; it was actually an array within an array.

On the surface, it appears to be a defensive formation that gathers spiritual energy, but inside it lies another extremely insidious Nine Heavens Profound Yin Formation.

This formation doesn't sound like a good formation at all; it can continuously draw upon the primordial energy within the bodies of those within it.

When Lu Yang discovered it, he kept it in mind. However, due to the delays caused by treating Old Master Chu's illness and the annulment of the engagement, he was unable to break the insidious formation for the Chu family in time, thus preventing the Chu family members from being poisoned.

Upon returning to the Chu family from the Phoenix Secret Realm, Lu Yang decided to immediately break the Nine Heavens Profound Yin Formation and help Chu Yuyao awaken the Phoenix Bloodline within her using the Phoenix Spirit Herb.

However?

The moment they stepped into the gates of the Chu family manor, or more precisely, into the Nine Heavens Profound Yin Formation that enveloped the Chu family, the formation was instantly activated.

A powerful force of extraction instantly entered Chu Yuyao's body, causing her to scream in excruciating pain.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yang's expression turned colder and angrier than ever before. He no longer cared who had suddenly activated the formation to target the entire Chu family. He immediately snorted coldly and punched a spot on the formation from a distance. This spot was located at a very important foundation of the formation.

Click!

In an instant, the massive array base was smashed to pieces by the terrifying fist force of his extraordinary physique.

buzzing...

Instantly, the Nine Heavens Profound Yin Formation, which had been operating at full speed, began to sway precariously.

Just then, from a very secluded spot, a voice filled with utter astonishment suddenly rang out: "How is this possible?"

Lu Yang had sharp ears and eyes; although the other person's voice was very soft, he heard it clearly. He immediately roared, "Get out here and face your death!"

The man's voice changed again: "He...he actually managed to find me! How did he do that?"

Just now, he saw from his hidden position that Lu Yang actually smashed a crucial array base of his formation with a single punch from a distance. He found it hard to believe, since the array base was very well hidden. Not only would ordinary people find it difficult to locate, but even ordinary array masters would not be able to easily decipher it.

However, Lu Yang easily recognized it at a glance and smashed it with a casual gesture, which shows his sharp eyesight and powerful martial arts skills.

Then, to his even greater disbelief, the other party actually spotted his hiding place at a glance, which shocked him even more.

Da da da……

Just then, when the Nine Heavens Profound Yin Formation was activated, most of the powerful extraction force that descended fell into Chu Yuyao's body, while a small portion dispersed and fell into the bodies of other members of the Chu family. Coupled with the commotion that Chu Yuyao and Lu Yang had just made, this series of events instantly drew many high-ranking members of the Chu family to gather around.

Chu Jing and Chu Yu, the former and new heads of the Chu family, appeared before Lu Yang and Chu Yuyao with their entourage. Chu Jing glanced around, then asked Lu Yang with a look of surprise and uncertainty, "Little Yang, what exactly happened just now?"

"Is Yuyao alright?"

When he asked this question, he noticed that although Chu Yuyao's face was still somewhat pale, she did not have any other symptoms.

Lu Yang shook his head and said, "Yu Yao is alright for now!"

He just smashed a huge foundation of the Nine Heavens Profound Yin Formation with a single punch, causing the formation to tremble and its extraction power to instantly disintegrate. Chu Yuyao and the other members of the Chu family who had been affected by the formation's extraction power were no longer affected by it.

Lu Yang's gaze turned icy as he looked again at a very secluded corner, and he roared, "Get the hell out here! Do you want me to drag you out myself?"

Everyone followed Lu Yang's gaze and looked in that direction.

Suddenly, a disdainful laugh came from the corner, followed by an old figure with a sneer, and behind him were a young man and a young woman.

Upon seeing the elderly figure and the two young men and women, Chu Jing frowned deeply and asked the elderly figure, "Master Pan, what brings you here?"

When Chu Yu and the other members of the Chu family saw the three of them, they were also deeply puzzled, and at the same time, an unprecedented anger rose in their hearts.

Chu Yu immediately lowered her voice and explained to Lu Yang, "Xiao Yang, this man is a famous array master in Lingnan. Several years ago, our Chu family spent a huge sum of money to invite him to help us set up a spirit-gathering array. Unexpectedly, he actually set up other arrays to harm our Chu family. He's utterly despicable and shameless!"

Through Chu Yu's words, Lu Yang finally managed to roughly guess the specific reason behind it.

Just as he had guessed, Master Pan responded nonchalantly to Chu Jing's questioning, saying, "Chu Jing, I didn't originally intend to treat your Chu family this way, after all, your Chu family gave me quite a bit of compensation!"

"However, your Chu family's biggest mistake was possessing such a treasure, which brought you trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jing suppressed his anger and asked again, puzzled, "Master Pan, what exactly do you mean by that? I don't understand."

Master Pan's gaze suddenly fell upon Chu Yuyao, whose face was pure and exquisite. His aged eyes couldn't help but scrutinize her from head to toe before he slowly said, "Chu Jing, it's because your Chu family has produced an extraordinary bloodline individual. When I came to your Chu family to set up the formation, the first time I saw this little girl, I sensed a faint aura within her. After using some special methods to investigate, I finally discovered that she actually possesses a powerful and terrifying bloodline force!"

"Although it hasn't truly awakened yet, it has already terrified me!"

"That's why, when I set up the Spirit Gathering Array for your Chu family, I also set up an array within an array, all to wait for this day to arrive, to extract the powerful bloodline energy from this little girl for my own use!"

Chu Jing, Chu Yu, and the rest of the Chu family were all shocked upon hearing this. It was utterly unbelievable. Chu Yuyao had been found by the family to have absolutely no martial arts talent, which explained why she had never practiced ancient martial arts. Little did they know that her martial arts talent was completely different from that of ordinary martial artists; she was a bloodline martial artist with far greater potential.

No wonder Master Pan, the most famous array master in Lingnan, would covet the powerful bloodline within the other party and want to use the extraction array to seize it.
