How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 271: The Lu Family Has a Daughter Gentle as Silk

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: The Lu Family Has a Daughter Gentle as Silk

The door gently opened, and a maid entered with a lantern, bowing at the door.

A young woman in a purple dress walked in gracefully, crossing the threshold.

"I’m Lu Rusi. Both esteemed guests have waited long!" Lu Rusi’s voice was as soft as silk.

"Visiting late at night is indeed abrupt; Miss Lu did not reject us and met us in person. Lin Xiaosu is grateful!" Lin Xiaosu bowed slightly.

"Please have a seat, Young Master Lin! Sister, please sit!" Lu Rusi sat in the main seat.

The maid poured a cup of tea for her and then bowed out, closing the door behind her.

Feng Ji raised her eyes slightly and saw the old man.

The old man stood ten meters outside the room, a Peeping Heaven Master personally on guard...

"Why has Young Master Lin come overnight?" Lu Rusi got to the point.

"If I say, I came to ease Miss’s worries, would you believe me?" Lin Xiaosu lifted the tea cup, his eyes slowly raising.

"Easing my worries... Thank you for your kindness, Young Master!" Lu Rusi smiled gently, "But does the young master know what worries me?"

"The homeland cannot hold the body; a foreign land cannot hold the soul!" Lin Xiaosu said, "This is Miss’s worry."

Lu Rusi felt a slight stir in her heart: "The homeland cannot hold the body; a foreign land cannot hold the soul... What a refined phrase from you, Young Master. But how can one resolve these worries?"

"A hundred years ago, Ancestor Valley was occupied, and nine out of ten clan members perished. The remnants scattered across the world, humble as floating duckweed. I believe the Li Palace’s members harbor deep resentment. At the dawn of the Li Palace, they still had ambitions, but after a century wears on, does that spirit remain?"

"And if it does?" Lu Rusi’s gaze slowly lifted.

"If that spirit remains, then we should reignite the ancestors’ ambition, with a do-or-die resolve, to sweep away the invaders and reclaim our land!"

Lu Rusi’s heart raced: "Is the young master willing to assist me?"

Lin Xiaosu smiled lightly: "If I were not willing to help, why would I visit at night?"

"Who exactly is the young master?"

"An outsider!"

"Outsider?" Lu Rusi was greatly surprised...

"Yes! In front of Miss, I will be candid. I am from the outside world, and I am a mortal enemy of Xiaoyao Palace. Our meeting tonight is to aim at Xiaoyao Palace, whether for the Li Palace or for myself, Lin Xiaosu."

Lu Rusi asked, "What kind of deep-seated grudge do you have with Xiaoyao Palace?"

"To call it a deep-seated grudge may be excessive. Simply put, I united with Qianlong in the outside world to destroy the accursed Da Ri Xiaoyao Temple, which triggered Xiaoyao Palace’s ire. They want to eliminate me as quickly as possible. My principle has always been that weeds must be uprooted!"

"Today outside Chunshui Palace, the three elders of Xiaoyao Palace showed up, their target was you, wasn’t it?"

Lin Xiaosu nodded lightly: "If it weren’t for my senior sister’s intervention, I’d likely have perished by the Chunshui River by now."

Lu Rusi exhaled deeply: "The young master’s candor clears up everything. I believe you. However, as far as I know, it is very difficult for external forces to enter Kun Cang. What method does the young master have to facilitate such a breakthrough?"

This is the critical question.

You’ve made me believe your feud with Xiaoyao Palace.

It’s true that Xiaoyao Palace came to Chunshui Palace today and that your senior sister killed them.

This serves as verification.

Our initial positions seem aligned.

However, merely having a shared position isn’t enough; we need strength.

While you evidently possess power in the outside world, it needs to enter Kun Cang.

If not, sitting here and dreaming of toppling Xiaoyao Palace is a joke.

Lin Xiaosu slightly shook his head: "External forces cannot enter Kun Cang; they are not in our stratagem."

Lu Rusi was startled: "Are you relying only on yourself and this sister? Along with our forces?"

"Yes!"

Lu Rusi took a deep breath: "Are you aware, even allied, we are like eggs thrown against stones against Xiaoyao Palace?"

Not only the Peeping Heaven Elder outside was deeply concerned by this statement, but Feng Ji too...

Lin Xiaosu said: "When strength is insufficient, one can borrow strength!"

"You borrow my strength, I borrow yours. Together we are still insufficient. Then whose strength shall we borrow?" Lu Rusi asked.

"For example, the heavens!"

"The heavens?" Lu Rusi’s brows furrowed sharply.

Feng Ji’s heart thudded...

Borrow strength from the heavens?

Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly: "Array Path, borrowing the might of heaven and earth, crafting the wonders of the world, is the tool for triumphing with the weak over the strong."

"Array Path..." Lu Rusi’s eyes suddenly brightened: "Does the young master master the Array Path?"

Feng Ji suddenly spoke: "This question, I can answer!"

Lu Rusi looked at Feng Ji with some surprise. freewebnøvel_com

Feng Ji had been silent the entire night, almost like a shadow.

But now, she spoke up.

Feng Ji met her gaze: "My junior’s proficiency in the Array Path can rival the master of Yin Yang Temple!"

The Yin Yang Temple Master...

The foremost Array Master of Kun Cang!

It was he who, at the request of the Heavenly Beauty Palace Master, set up the deadly array in Shenghua Valley, sealing this major power for three hundred years.

"Young Master’s cultivation in the Array Path at such a young age... This..." Lu Rusi’s face flushed.

"Miss probably finds it hard to believe, right? Let me tell you a fact to help you understand!" Feng Ji said, "The Locking Immortal Array in Shenghua Valley was broken by my junior! The life-and-death door sealed for three hundred years was opened by him."

Whoosh!

Lu Rusi stood up, bowing deeply: "I underestimated Young Master’s talent! I will now inform my father to discuss this in detail!"

"Much obliged!" Lin Xiaosu also stood, bowing slightly.

With a swoosh, Lu Rusi vanished from the room.

Lin Xiaosu turned his gaze to Feng Ji: "Senior sister, did you discern her cultivation level?"

The voice was very soft.

Feng Ji replied, "Common rumor has it that Li Palace’s remaining members have only two in the Observing Heaven realm. But now it seems there are more; the one outside and this miss are two. The Li Palace Master and a Young Palace Master must also be in Observing Heaven."

"It’s excellent that our allies’ strength exceeds expectations!"

Feng Ji said, "Do you really intend to reveal your proficiency in the Array Path?"

"I understand your concern; exposing it has repercussions. But in the world, there are pros and cons. Revealing it aligns with my third essential point: establishing prestige!"

Prestige!

Feng Ji heard the audacious word again.

The first time she heard it, she was speechless.

Out of courtesy, she did not scold him: You, a little ant not even in Observing Heaven, dare speak of establishing prestige in Kun Cang, afraid of making people laugh?

But hearing it today...

The feeling was entirely different!

The power of the Array Path is beyond human measurement.

If he and the remnants of Li Palace join forces, they genuinely might severely impact Xiaoyao Palace. After that day, all of Kun Cang would know of an Array Path genius. They would listen to his voice.

Because this genius isn’t one to be manipulated easily; he could ally with enemies for a fatal strike at any moment. Who could withstand that?

His prestige might indeed take root!

This shift in confidence itself was incredible...

Suddenly, the sky’s clouds seemed to darken.

It possibly felt like a momentary illusion.

In the next instant, another sensation surfaced in their hearts... an additional person stood outside the door!

They exchanged glances, moving their gaze to the door simultaneously.

The door opened, and a scholarly man in white stepped in...

The scholar, about forty to fifty years old, with three long streaks of beard, had a face like carved jade. Although no longer young, he still exuded an elegant and unrestrained demeanor.

If anything on his face contradicted this demeanor, it would undoubtedly be his eyes.

His eyes had seen countless vicissitudes.

This person could only be a prominent figure of this Li Palace generation, Lu Sanqian.

"I am Lu Sanqian. Greetings to the young master and this lady!" Lu Sanqian bowed slightly.

Lin Xiaosu and Feng Ji stood simultaneously: "How can juniors accept the salute of Lord Lu?"

"The Li Palace has been destroyed for a hundred years. Without the palace, there is no master’s respect." Lu Sanqian said.

"If the heart remains, the path remains. If the Li people’s initial intention is unchanged, the Li Palace will eventually be restored!"

"If the heart remains, the path remains! Thanks for the auspicious words, young master!" Lu Sanqian bowed again: "Young master, miss, please be seated!"

They sat again, and all personnel outside withdrew, swapping roles within the room. Lu Sanqian sat at the chief seat, with Lu Rusi personally pouring tea for them.

"So, the young master wishes to use the Array Path to assist us?" Lu Sanqian asked directly.

"As I have mentioned to Miss Lu, assisting you is assisting myself!" Lin Xiaosu said.

"How so... exactly?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Xiaosu...

Lin Xiaosu asked: "Does the Li Palace have Array Crystals?"

"Array Crystals of Kun Cang, nine out of ten are collected by Yin Yang Valley. Those outside are rare. I have merely a hundred..."

"That will be sufficient," said Lin Xiaosu.

Lu Sanqian was overjoyed. A hundred Array Crystals enough?

When he received the message that an Array Master was visiting, his heart was both glad and wary. He knew an Array Master’s power relied on Array Crystals.

And he had gathered only a hundred over the past century.

Clearly, it wasn’t enough.

This material was monopolized by Yin Yang Temple, and it was exceedingly hard to obtain more from the outside...

But now, Lin Xiaosu declared that a hundred crystals were sufficient.

The first significant hurdle was thus overcome.

"What else does the young master need?"

"Thirty-six Array Bases!"

Lu Sanqian’s initial joy turned to disappointment: "Thirty-six people, are they required to be... above the Observing Earth realm?"

If they needed to be above Observing Earth, this plan would end before it started.

He couldn’t muster thirty-six Observing Earth.

Thirty-six Observing Earth, what a notion!

Usually, a major power has no more than ten Observing Earth.

Gathering thirty-six Observing Earth would require the combined strength of three major powers. If he could do that, how could Xiaoyao Palace continue to suppress them for so long?

"If we had thirty-six Observing Heaven, the power would be vastly different, but I see even Lord Lu can’t gather thirty-six Observing Heaven, so we must lower the standard. Thirty-six Observing Earth will suffice!"

Lu Sanqian’s confidence reignited: "Thirty-six Observing Earth is no problem! However, young master mentioned lowering the standard... what would the power be like?"
