ely close to Ci Zi You Lian's location.To activate the transmission formation, finding Chi Zi You Lian is no easy feat. Through the starlight and black flames, one's eyesight and divine sense cannot r...Lu Xia Tian followed Chu Qiyi as they flew on swords. Naturally, the cultivator's manor wouldn't be as cramped as a commoner's dwelling... 。This month's Yinshan Villa, the area is quite large, within a radius of hundreds of miles, all the mountains are under the jurisdiction of Yinshan Villa. Chu Qi's speed was not fast, Lu Xia Tian always hung behind him. After a while, they flew over several hills of different heights, crossed a mountain stream, and there was also Yinshan Villa itself cultivating some medicinal herb plots by a spirit spring. 。The herb garden also contained several kinds of precious herbs, but they were not yet very old. The oldest ones were only a hundred years or so. There were scattered fields of them, covering thousands of acres. They grew around the spiritual spring, situated at the foot of nearby mountains, or on terraced spirit fields carved out on mountain slopes. 。It seems like the Hidden Mountain Villa has been operating for a while this month. 。There are also several spirit beasts specially responsible for guarding the herb garden. Dozens of cultivators at different stages of Qi refinement are scattered throughout the herb garden, weeding or pruning branches with spirit shears. 。Flying over the herb garden, it landed soon after in front of a pavilion that was extraordinary. On top of the pavilion were several copper cranes, lifelike and vivid, some flapping their wings, others bowing their heads to preen their feathers. 。"Manager Fu, I was just about to come to bid you farewell. I didn't expect you to send someone to look for me first. I've caused quite a bit of trouble for your estate during this time, and I truly feel guilty. Here is 10,000 spirit stones as a token of my gratitude. Please don't think it's too little, Manager Fu." 。I still have important matters to attend to, so I've come to bid farewell to Master Fu. After some time has passed and things are settled, I will return to express my gratitude in person. 。Seeing Fu Mingyuan, Lu Xiaotien didn't wait for the other party to speak. He directly opened his mouth and shut down whatever the other party might have wanted to say. 。Ten thousand pieces of inferior spirit stones aren't much, not to mention for a Jindan cultivator. It's indeed a bit stingy as a gesture, but Lu Xia Tian only stayed at Yinshan Manor for a month or so. Leaving him unattended in the bamboo house isn't hospitable at all. Lu Xia Tian offered some spirit stones symbolically, just to save face on both sides. 。"Lu Daoyou is really a stranger. Since we met at Lake Wushang, it was fate. How could I expect gifts from Lu Daoyou These days, I have been busy with some mundane things on the farm and fell behind in greeting you, Lu Daoyou. Now, I specially ask Chu Qi to invite you here as a sign of apology." 。"I was slow to respond before, but now I want to make amends. Lu Daoist friend can leave now, but it's strange that I haven't been able to look after you properly" Fu Mingyuan said with a displeased expression. 。“Fu Guan was being too serious. Lu wouldn't dare to have such thoughts; just having a place to stay would be good enough, how could he ask for more” 。"Lu Xia tian modestly said" 。"Haha, that's good then. I thought Lu Dao-friend was angry and was very uneasy. Of course, I won't stop Lu Dao-friend if he wants to leave, but I have to compensate you somehow. Otherwise, once the reputation of Yueyin Mountain Villa as a bad host spreads, where will I put my face" 。Fu had prepared some aged wines, just in time for dinner. He invited Lu Daoist to sample them. 。"Fu Mingyuan laughed heartily and said, "Moreover, several more distinguished guests are coming to the estate today. They are prominent figures in Wusheng City. If you have any interest, Fu will be happy to introduce you to them." 。"Then I shall trouble you with this matter, Lu has some wounds on his body and must retire for now. Tomorrow, I will pay my respects to the steward again." 。Lu XiaTian silently withdrew. 。"Alright then, Daoist Lu, you may rest first. We will have someone invite you to the evening banquet later." 。"Fu Mingyuan nodded and said": 。Lu Xiaoteng stepped back nonchalantly, but a few points of vigilance rose in his heart. He had been brought to the bamboo building by the others before and left alone for over a month. Now, they suddenly became so enthusiastic. The changes before and after were not ordinary. Moreover, during his conversation with Fu Mingyuan just now, Fu Mingyuan seemed to regard himself as the master of this place, without mentioning the girl Xiang Lian'er and others he met at Wushang Lake before. 。Besides, Fu Mingyuan also seemed to have a strong intention to keep him, insisting on having him stay until tomorrow. Could it be that this person had other arrangements

However, he wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated. Just now, during his conversation with Fu Mingyuan, it was nothing more than polite exchanges. He and Fu Mingyuan didn't have any real friendship. Lu Xiaotien sneered inwardly. Since Fu Mingyuan wanted to keep him forcefully, he couldn't leave directly. It was obvious that Fu Mingyuan had ulterior motives. Naturally, he wouldn't just obediently wait on the other person's turf. Perhaps he would have to resort to a sudden departure. 。Just now I bid farewell to Fu Mingyuan, and he agreed without hesitation. If he hadn't agreed, would we expect the following Chu Qi to keep an eye on him What a joke! 。

Hum......

As Lu Xiaoxiao was deep in thought, suddenly two light curtains rose separately. One, slightly lighter in color, enveloped the entire mountain villa, while the other, a water-blue curtain, enclosed the core of the mountain villa again

"Biyan Lian Shui Zhen!" Lu Xia Tian's face changed slightly, he quickly recognized the origin of this formation. He didn't expect this manor to have such a protective array, and it was activated at this time, just before he was about to leave. It definitely wasn't set up for him, after all, he knew few people in the Blue Demon Sea Region, and even fewer here in this unfamiliar place. 。It seems Fu Mingyuan has ulterior motives and it's highly likely he had a conflict with Xiang Lian'er and the others. He just happened to be caught in this situation. 。The Azure Orchid Water Array is indeed a formidable formation. It would take him quite a bit of effort to break it, and Fu Mingyuan certainly wouldn't just stand by and watch him do so. 。Once discovered, it's likely to erupt into a public quarrel. 。“It seems that this young man surnamed Lu is quite alert, he seems to have sensed something and chose to resign at this critical juncture.” 。“Does he know something When will your people arrive” Just as Lu Xiaoteng had left for a short while, a black shadow flashed past and a masked woman appeared beside Fu Mingyuan. 。This Lu fellow is indeed quite strange, but to say he knows something, I doubt it. He hasn't even stepped out of that bamboo tower, I can assure you of that. 。Even if he was reluctant, I would keep him here. The people I invited will arrive this afternoon. There aren't many of them, but they are all powerful cultivators at the Golden Core late stage. Their strength is considerable. 。Dealing with Yuan Gang and Xu Wan would be a piece of cake. Now that the Protecting the Manor Formation has been activated, Xiang Lian'er is trapped this time. 。“Make sure things are handled cleanly, without leaving any trace.” 。Even the masked woman said with a hint of unease, 。"Just relax. We've hired a few notorious evil cultivators from Annan Country. Three of them are at the late stage of Jindan, and there are two at the middle stage of Jindan. With five people combined, they should be enough to deal with Yuan Gang and Xu Wan." 。Moreover, I have activated a defensive array. Any movement within the manor won't be transmitted outside. Even Yuan Ying ancestors from Wusheng City wouldn't bother interfering with minor disturbances. 。As for that young man surnamed Lu, he was injured and his breath was weak. His cultivation level at most was only in the middle stage of the Golden Core, maybe even just the early stage. Taking him down wouldn't be much trouble at all. 。"Fu Mingyuan looked full of confidence and said," 。s pressure grew exponentially, even Lu Xia Tian was taken aback. Having accommodated the two, the space within the Zhen Yao Tower seemed to have reached its limit. The original pressure surged dramati...
