Chapter 167 Roof Beast
Things seem to have taken a turn for the worse.
Zhu Wuyao couldn't help but feel that the empty garden was eerie.
It's not only weird, it's outrageous.
Could it be that the space was deliberately cleared out in order to set up an array to capture her?
Various speculations flooded my mind, all converging into the same conclusion—this place is not a safe place to stay.
Just then, the bladeless sword trembled slightly again.
Zhu Wuyao almost choked on his breath.
The garden is so empty, yet the opportunity for the Sword of No Edge still falls here?
Based on the hexagram, the object of the karmic connection must be stone.
Could it be buried underground?
Zhu Wuyao was caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure whether to stay or leave. With a grave expression, she looked toward the garden, certain that there was an ambush there.
Since things have come to this point, there is only one plan that can be implemented!
She affixed a lucky charm, took the beast bone given to her by Senior Sister Gu, slung the bladeless sword over her shoulder, and prepared the Sky-Gazing Technique and the "Heaven-Stealing and Sun-Changing Technique" at any time, ready to flee after she had robbed the place.
In order to outwit and outmaneuver the air, Zhu Wuyao is fully armed.
She landed at the edge of the garden and cautiously moved forward little by little.
With a "lucky charm" on you, you're unlikely to miss out on things that are meant to be yours, as long as you're careful, cautious, and tiptoe around...
"Crack——"
Suddenly, she heard a cracking sound from above. Zhu Wuyao was already on high alert, and this noise made her draw her sword and stand up abruptly.
It came right up to the broken roof ridge beast.
Zhu Wuyao was worried that he had alarmed the Pei family. Apart from using the Concealing Breath Wind Movement Technique, he had not circulated his spiritual power and therefore had no protective shield.
The carved animal figures on the eaves came crashing down, and Zhu Wuyao instinctively caught them.
Upon seeing the object in his hand, he thought to himself, "This is bad."
This time, we really stirred up the enemy.
The roof beast was put into the storage bag, and Zhu Wuyao immediately thought—perhaps this is what the Wufeng Sword needs.
She instinctively looked up and saw five more roof tiles on the ridge. Moreover, if you really look closely, aren't the tiles also made of stone?
Footsteps could already be heard.
There was no time to hesitate any longer.
Zhu Wuyao acted decisively, activating his object manipulation technique, and the roof tiles and animal-shaped objects spun into his storage bag.
"Don't leave, little thief!"
A spiritual blade shot towards him, and Zhu Wuyao's figure flashed slightly, instantly disappearing into the distance with the wind. The cultivator behind him was probably in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and soon he had closed in on him.
Upon arriving at the garden, the Pei family head, seeing the empty space and the bare roof, trembled with rage and roared:
"You brat! This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
The Pei family retreated again and again, but this strange stone thief repeatedly came to bully them, as if the Pei family could be manipulated at will.
Seeing that the family's retainers had already given chase, the Pei family head, in his fury, had a glint in his eyes—
If someone has great skills, how could they possibly run away at the first sign of trouble?
It seems that yesterday's barrier was nothing more than a magical artifact.
Today, in his panic, he revealed his true strength, and he is no longer a threat. It seems that all his previous guesses were just an overestimation of his opponent.
"Gentlemen! Follow me and capture this thief!"
Although the head of the Pei family was only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment and his cultivation level was not high, he could still tell the true worth of the stone thief.
This person dares to mock the Pei family; she'll definitely suffer the consequences!
He waved his hand, ready to lead his men in pursuit.
However, a barrier suddenly appeared in front of him, and he crashed into it head-on, immediately sensing that something terrible was about to happen.
"Old man, where do you want to go? Why don't you stay and play with me for a while?"
The head of the Pei family suddenly looked up at the woman in red who had appeared abruptly under the cold moonlight.
She sat on the roof, casually tossing a copper coin, with a wine bag beside her, her posture relaxed, as if she had just come from a tavern.
It was Ye Xiaozhou, who was hiding in the shadows.
But her expression was no longer as nonchalant as before; she seemed unusually annoyed.
Looking in the direction Zhu Wuyao had fled, Ye Xiaozhou sighed. It was a pity that copper coins couldn't predict Zhu Wuyao's fate.
She has recently encountered a huge problem.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come to the South.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Zhu Wuyao escaped quickly and was unaware of what had happened to the Pei family.
The Pei family retainer trailing behind her relentlessly pursued her, as if they had a deep-seated grudge against her.
It's just moving a few stones.
She felt she had done something small and kept a low profile, but the Pei family's retainer didn't think so.
His name is Fang Yong. He has recently entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment and is feeling very proud of himself. When working for the Pei family, he always gets whatever he wants.
But ever since the appearance of the Stone Thief, his peaceful yet arrogant life has been disrupted.
This person is extremely arrogant!
While they were discussing matters, they set up a barrier, and like locusts passing through, they almost ate up a layer of grass from the Pei family's lawn.
Afterwards, he left without a care, moving in and out as if he were in an empty place.
They completely disregarded him.
What's even more infuriating is that he actually thought this person's cultivation level was higher than his own and that there were more entanglements behind him, so he tolerated this junior who was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment in every way.
How could he not guess what the Pei family head had deduced?
Because of this misunderstanding, Fang Yong hated Zhu Wuyao even more.
Only by killing them can we be swift and satisfied!
He thought that with his cultivation level two minor realms higher, he could easily capture her, but who knew that his luck seemed to be exceptionally bad today.
Fang Yong stumbled and bumped into walls along the way, and even accidentally teleported into the river, almost being swept away by the undercurrent.
This filled him with horror, yet his eyes flashed with a dark light.
This young man is strange, and he has been on the run for a long time without any backup plan, so he is probably all alone.
In the world of cultivation, the fastest way to increase one's strength is to kill and plunder.
He relentlessly pursued Zhu Wuyao; if his initial hatred had turned into greed.
Putting aside the swift movement technique, the magical artifact used to set up the barrier is also extremely tempting, and it seems that the artifact cannot be activated instantly.
"Leave your magical artifact, obediently kowtow and admit your mistake, and I'll spare your life!"
Zhu Wuyao was slightly taken aback when she heard his shout.
The Pei family's retainers must be desperate for money.
She was penniless, and they actually robbed her?
Did he take a fancy to her bladeless sword?
This bladeless sword appears to have no special features, and anyone with a bit of wealth would look down on it. This is the first time someone has pursued it so relentlessly.
Having escaped until now, Zhu Wuyao's spiritual energy in his dantian is already half depleted.
Of course she knew about the effect of the luck-changing charm.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Wuyao became even more aware of the danger. If they continued to flee, once the luck-changing talisman ran out, a crisis might follow.
If you want to survive, running away indefinitely is not the way.
It would be better to take advantage of the luck-changing charm and turn the tables on them.
The Sky-Gazing Technique can instantly replenish the spiritual energy in the dantian. The ultimate move of Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun is ready to cool down. In this way, the desolate wilderness and Falling Leaf Sword will not be discovered by anyone...
After considering all this, Zhu Wuyao decided that fighting was better than fleeing.
Even if they encounter danger in the end, they will still have Senior Sister Gu's beast bones to protect them.
She stopped abruptly and shouted:
"Nine Revolutions Dragon-Slaying Formation!"
Fang Yong's pupils contracted slightly. Was there a formation? Could he have been lured into an ambush?!
He immediately took to his sword, hoping to escape before being locked in by the formation.
However, a sword light slashed towards him, and with the help of the last luck-changing talisman, Fang Yong rode his sword through the air and met it head-on.
