Chapter 431: Another Tremor (1/2)

“Yes, this disciple will do as you say, if you have no other orders for me, I will go and gather the rest.” Lu Wenshu’s junior brother said as he turned around to leave.

Lu Wenshu nodded and began his journey towards the Ruins.

When he finally arrived, Lu Wenshu scanned his surroundings and when he confirmed that there were no other people around, he prepared to scout the area to prepare for any contingencies.

Lu Wenshu struck the ground with his palm, and as luck would have it, his spirit qi traced along the cracks in the dry land and formed a weird path connecting him to the ruins. As the cracks were spread out like spiderwebs, Lu Wenshu’s spirit qi quickly surrounded the structure. As soon as they were connected, the ruins seemed to turn into a beast with unquenchable thirst as it sucked Lu Wenshu’s spirit qi dry. After what seemed like an eternity, the ruins let out a resounding boom that caused the ground to quake and Lu Wenshu lost his footing.

Bai Luochu was still resting at the inn when she heard the deafening boom. Her table rattled and it dawned upon her that Lu Wenshu was finally unable to control himself.

After waiting for a short while for the tremors to subside, Bai Luochu grabbed her sword and her belongings that she had packed earlier and walked out the door. As she walked out the door, she coincidentally met with Pei Rumo and Pei Qingfeng who were leaving as well.

Pei Qingfeng was stunned when he noticed how prepared for battle Bai Luochu was and he said, “This could be a bait, why don’t you wait here while I go and check it out for you.”

“This time, it’s definitely real.” Bai Luochu seemed somewhat annoyed that they were doubting her judgement.

Based on Bai Luochu’s understanding of Lu Wenshu, he wouldn’t give up easily. The only reason he has been silent for so long was because he was preparing to do something big. Likewise, Lu Wenshu understood Bai Luochu well. He knew that she would only appear when a matter of grave importance arose. Judging Lu Wenshu based on his temper, she knew that he was trying to lure her out.

“Besides, if you wait until the ruins fully activate, it will be too late to return to inform me.” Bai Luochu sneered at Pei Qingfeng as she shot him a look of disdain.

Pei Rumo realised that there was no time to delay and he decided to mediate the situation, “Let’s not get tangled up in this, I’m sure that Luo Chu knows what she is doing.”

Pei Rumo scrutinized Bai Luochu as he finished speaking, but she had already left. Her sole focus was on the ruins and she paid no attention to whatever Pei Rumo said. An unshakeable feeling appeared in his heart as Pei Rumo felt that Bai Luochu and Lu Wenshu seemed to share an unspeakable bond. However, he quickly gave up on that notion as he turned his focus onto the ruins.
