Chapter 497: Chapter 496: Acquaintance Committing the Crime

They remained silent afterward, and the woman was about to leave the room to prepare.

Luo Ning glanced at her watch, noting there were still a few hours until midnight, then quickly climbed over the garden wall and got back into the car.

Just as she had climbed out of the yard, the woman left the room, calling to her husband to begin setting up in the courtyard.

In the car.

As soon as Luo Ning entered the car, Huo Rui hurriedly asked, "How did it go? Is Xi Shu there?"

Luo Ning replied, "She is, we’ll move at midnight."

She then recounted the conversation she had overheard in the yard.

Huo Rui’s expression darkened; the fact that these people were after Xi Shu’s life and luck deeply disgusted him.

He asked, "Is it too late if we wait until they start their procedure?"

Luo Ning nodded, "It’s sufficient. I want to see what they’re going to do and how they plan to dissolve the grievances and extract the luck."

"It’s better to break their plan with a targeted approach."

Huo Rui, trusting in Luo Ning’s capabilities, said, "Okay, then we’ll wait."

Luo Ning sent a message to Lu Xun with their location, asking him to deploy a special department to inspect the town for any notable Feng Shui masters.

The International Black Alliance’s hideouts had been cleared, important Feng Shui masters either crippled or captured.

That old man knew how to change luck, a skill common among the Black Alliance’s Feng Shui masters.

Luo Ning couldn’t help but suspect that there might still be someone at large or some hidden issue.

Lu Xun replied quickly that he was on it and would send someone immediately.

Luo Ning wondered whether this incident was truly coincidental or if someone intentionally intended to harm those close to her.

As midnight approached while resting in the car, Luo Ning had Huo Rui and the others wait outside.

She said, "I’ll go in first, and if I call for you, then you can kick the door in."

Huo Rui nodded, "No problem."

He and his brother were skilled enough not to worry about rushing in.

Luo Ning then got out of the car and stealthily made her way to the edge of the yard, climbing onto the wall.

With her ability to conceal her aura, and aided by the cover of night and the yard’s dim candlelight, Xi Shu’s aunt and uncle did not notice her.

Luo Ning took the opportunity when they went back inside to fetch something to climb onto a large banyan tree in the yard, concealing herself.

She also released a beetle drone into a corner to start recording video.

A few minutes before midnight, an elder in a white robe appeared.

Luo Ning looked at the elder, startled to recognize not just a yin-yang master but also someone she knew.

It was Mr. Liu, the one from the Liu Family who had fled before.

Luo Ning had previously broken Mr. Liu’s arrays, but the backlash had been severe.

Under normal circumstances, Mr. Liu should have either died or been crippled.

But now Mr. Liu not only appeared healthy but stronger than the one who had tried to seize her Yanyue Blade.

The yin-yang master originated from Taiyang Country, which strictly kept its secret techniques unrevealed, so how did Mr. Liu learn them?

Or perhaps Mr. Liu was a yin-yang master from Taiyang Country all along, merely hidden in Huaxia, likely also associated with the International Black Alliance.

That would also explain why the enemy had used the Luck Changing Array before.

"The sudden return of Mr. Liu, who had initially fled to Nanhai City and then to the Southern Ocean, to assist the Xi Family with a ritual in such a remote county town, was definitely suspicious.

How had his body, which suffered backlash, recovered?

Luo Ning employed the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to enhance her vision as she scrutinized.

She discovered that the aura surrounding Mr. Liu wasn’t pure; instead, it was somewhat chaotic, with multiple erratic streams of Qi.

She then understood the reason; it was similar to how Bo Xiangxiang had restored her luck.

Someone must have stolen another’s health for Mr. Liu, transferred it to him, and used some secret technique to enhance his strength.

However, such borrowed power, if not stable, could backlash far worse than losing a Magic Master’s battle.

Soon, Aunt Xi Shu and her husband dragged the unconscious Xi Shu and another young woman out of a room, laying them on the ground.

Following them were a young man and woman, likely their children.

Next, Xi Shu’s grandmother and a middle-aged couple helped a young man with a decaying body out from another room.

These four had arrived at the courtyard an hour earlier, driving an SUV.

Due to the darkness and Huo Rui’s car parked under a distant tree, they went unnoticed.

Aunt Xi Shu addressed the old lady: ’Mom, are you sure you want to start?’

The grandmother glanced at her granddaughter on the ground, showing little emotion.

When she looked at her grandson, however, her expression softened with compassion, ’Please begin, Master; my nephew’s life is more important.’

Aunt Xi Shu pondered, ’If Xi Shu and Wuniu never return, will the Fourth Aunt cause trouble at our house demanding their whereabouts?’

It wasn’t that she wasn’t willing to sacrifice her niece; she feared trouble from the fourth family discovering this.

The grandmother snorted coldly, ’She wouldn’t dare.’

’When the time comes, just say that Xi Shu disagreed with Wuniu’s marriage and forcefully took her from our house.’

’As for where they went, you naturally wouldn’t know; it’s because of grudges that Xi Shu won’t contact them.’

Evidently, the grandmother had already planned how to appease Xi Shu’s parents after sacrificing her granddaughter.

Aunt Xi Shu agreed with a smile, ’You’re brilliant, Mom. Over the years, both the fourth uncle and aunt couldn’t escape your grasp.’

The grandmother proudly declared, ’Of course, who would they listen to if not me, having reared them from the womb?’

She looked disdainfully at her granddaughter on the ground.

’It’s their fault for not being able to bear a son; these wasteful girls will belong to other families eventually, contributing to their cousin’s well-being is their fortune.’

Aunt Xi Shu nodded in agreement, ’True, five wasteful girls from the fourth uncle’s family, they’ll rely on their nephew in the future; you’re right.’

While they were talking, Mr. Liu interjected, ’The auspicious time has arrived; let’s begin now.’

He gestured to Xi Shu’s cousin, ’Lay next to them; I’ll start the ritual."

Xi Shu’s cousin respectfully nodded, ’Yes, Master!’

His parents supported him to lie down next to Xi Shu.

Mr. Liu picked up the dog’s blood from the table, sprayed it over the three, and then started to methodically shake a bell.

Before long, a chilling wind abruptly swept around, sending shivers down everyone’s spine in the courtyard.

Xi Shu’s cousin, terrified, closed his eyes and murmured, ’I didn’t mean to harm you intentionally; if you seek revenge, go after my cousin.’

Mr. Liu, expressionless, recited a spell and tossed two talismans from the table.

Quickly, the talismans flew above the young man and Wuniu.

After hovering briefly, the talisman above Wuniu’s head self-ignited, turning to ash."
