Chusu's pupils constricted into the size of green beans, with endless vigilance and fury pouring out of them.
Someone had discovered him.
He didn't know who this person was or how they had managed to confirm his location in such a massive estate, but as a successor to the Yellow Spring Flow, he was extremely sensitive to danger, even surpassing Zhexiu and Nanke in this aspect. He could clearly sense those foreboding omens.
No thought was needed. Like a beast, he acted out of pure instinct, using his earth-traveling technique to depart.
A thump rose from the artificial hill. The moss-covered rocks ruptured and parted.
Chusu had failed to leave. He was still standing at his original position, his head and body covered in bits of stone and earth, a puzzled expression on his face.
What was going on here?
……
……
The moment those two-fortune tellers confirmed Chusu's position, the attack had begun.
The seven peddlers all had a string of cash around their wrists.
The strings suddenly snapped. Carrying bits of snow, they fell on the model, striking those tiny towers and buildings that seemed real, just hundreds of times smaller.
At the same, the streamer in the remaining fortune-teller's hand suddenly went straight.
The wind suddenly began to howl, causing the large streamer to fully extend and fly.
It was like a great banner.
The Wenshui suddenly began to froth, even the water grass at the bottommost depths beginning to dance while countless fish fled in all directions.
A shaking emerged from the ground and quickly reached the surface, both shores of the Wenshui beginning to fiercely quake.
Miraculously, the buildings of the estate on the surface were not harmed in the least.
.……
……
.……
……
The estate was filled with alarmed cries.
Those people who had earlier been cursing were now running around with heads in hands.
The Tang Second Master stood in front of the scorched earth that was once the Tong Cottage, imagining the beautiful sights once contained within, still not moving in the slightest.
He knew that this shaking meant that the array had activated.
He then turned his head to someplace and muttered to himself, ”Even Fivekind has come. Father, just what are you thinking?”
He did not seem concerned about Chusu's life, or even if Chusu might be caught. Why?
……
……
The complicated array that had been left by the Tang clan on the shores of the Wenshui and lain silent for so many years activated. Stream after stream of ancient Qi rose up from the ground and formed layer after layer over the estate.
When he discovered that he could not escape through the ground, Chusu reacted with incredible speed. Transforming into a gray blur, he attempted to get as far from the estate as possible.
He had already pushed his speed to its maximum. Even if Nanke were here, she would only be able to keep up with him, but not overtake him. But it was still impossible for him to exceed the speed at which the great array spread. By the time he had reached the perimeter of the estate several li away, light was already rising to the sky, forming a perfect semicircle with no gaps.
Without even thinking, Chusu rammed into the wall of light, wanting to use his tenacious body and lightning speed to push his way through.
With a buzz, a greenish-yellow smoke erupted from his body.
Chusu yowled in pain. Retreating, he lowered his head to glance over his body. Every part of his body that had touched the array's light was now showing a deep wound with thick liquid flowing out. As it dripped onto the flagstones, it hissed, quickly corroding several small holes into the ground.
