"Mister Lu ~ ~ ~ this is all a misunderstanding!"
"Mister Lu ~ ~ ~ please show yourself ~"
The Shangqing school's Inner Gate was in a mess. The Shangqing school's disciples scattered everywhere, shouting loudly.
But no one responded.
On the top of a pavilion in the Central District, a tall and thin old man wearing a red robe with silver edges stood with his hands behind his back, his face as calm as water.
Beside the tall and thin old man, there was a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard. It was Elder Tang Ren.
After a long while, the Shangqing school's disciples flew back from all over the place.
"Elder Pan, Elder Tang, we've searched everywhere, but we didn't find any trace of Mister Lu."
"Mister Lu must have heard our shouts, but he's hiding and unwilling to show himself."
"Elder, what should we do next?"
Elder Pan in the red robe with silver edges suddenly took a deep breath and said loudly, "Mister Lu, I'm Elder Pan Dechang of the Shangqing school. I guarantee with my life that the Shangqing school has no hostility towards Mister Lu! Mister Lu, please show yourself and clear up the misunderstanding! "
"Clear up the misunderstanding", "misunderstanding", "meeting" … The echoes kept echoing in the Shangqing school's Inner Gate.
The Shangqing school's disciples held their breaths and waited.
However, the person they were looking forward to never showed up.
"Uncle Pan, Mister Lu must have a deep prejudice against our Shangqing school after the Protective Mountain Array is activated. He won't come out." Chen Rong said softly.
"Go and look for him again!"
After Elder Pan Dechang dismissed the disciples around him, he sighed and glared at Tang Ren, "Junior Brother Tang, it's all your fault!"
Tang Ren forced a smile and said, "Senior Brother, I'm also thinking for Mister Lu. He has evil treasures, which will definitely cause the Black Sky Cult to rob him. It's really better to give it to our Shangqing school. When the elders discussed this matter, you also agreed to it. "
Pan Dechang said angrily, "The Elders Guild's opinion is that we should treat Mister Lu politely and exchange it with other treasures! There's no reason to snatch something from someone who isn't willing to give it to you. You must know that Young Master Lu destroyed the Black Sky Cult's scheme in the Sword Trial Valley and saved the reputation of our Shangqing school! "
Tang Ren complained, "Senior Brother, I didn't snatch it by force. That Lu brat kept promising, but I didn't expect him to be so cautious and want to slip away."
Pan Dechang said, "If he wants to leave, just let him go. Why did you send out a warning signal? Once the Protective Mountain Formation is activated, Young Master Lu will definitely suspect that we are blocking him in the Inner Sect to rob him of his treasures or even kill him to silence him. "
Chen Rong could not help but say, "Martial Uncle Pan, why don't we close the Mountain-guarding Formation and let Young Master Lu leave quietly?"
"No!"
"No!"
Pan Dechang and Tang Ren shouted at the same time.
Pan Dechang glared at Tang Ren again and said with a sigh, "Xiaorong, now that the misunderstanding has been formed, we can't back down."
Tang Ren said, "That Lu brat must hate us to the core. What if he goes out and casually talks nonsense, slandering the reputation of our Shangqing school?"
Pan Dechang said, "The only way is to find Young Master Lu, treat him generously, and let him go after clearing up the misunderstanding."
Chen Rong frowned and asked tentatively, "Is this really what Martial Uncle Pan is thinking?"
Pan Dechang was displeased, "How can it be fake?"
Chen Rong continued, "What should we do if we can't find any traces of Young Master Lu?"
Pan Dechang said, "Senior Brother Chen is now leading most of the Elders to patrol the area around the Shangqing school, looking for the remnants of the Black Sky Cult. They will definitely be back in less than ten days. When the time comes, all the Elders will search together. The Inner Sect is only so big, we will definitely be able to find Young Master Lu. "
Tang Ren said thoughtfully, "Xiaorong, have you guessed Lu Wang's location?"
Chen Rong shook his head repeatedly, "No."
… …
Seeing the Shangqing school disciples running around and shouting his name, Bai Xiaowen, who was hiding in the dark, frowned slightly.
[Could it be that I'm wrong? Are the bad guys in Shangqing school the minority? Is there really a misunderstanding?]
Even if there was such a possibility, and it was very likely, Bai Xiaowen didn't dare to show up rashly.
It was stupid to bet his own safety on the other party's conscience — at least, the Mountain-guarding Formation was still open, and the other party didn't intend to close it. From this point alone, they lacked sincerity to clear up the misunderstanding.
Bai Xiaowen could only act according to the original plan.
At night, the Shangqing school disciples, who had been shouting for the whole evening, were finally allowed to rest. They all went to sleep with a stomach full of resentment.
Bai Xiaowen finally had some peace. He put on a fish-patterned coat and quietly sneaked into the entrance of one of the Shangqing school's Treasure Houses.
According to the route map, this Treasure House was classified as a "dangerous area". There were three formation restrictions at the entrance alone. Once touched, even if one didn't die, they would lose a layer of skin.
Bai Xiaowen covered his right eye and injected elemental energy into his left eye, activating the Eye of Evolution's active observation mode.
Elemental energy threads crisscrossed in Bai Xiaowen's field of vision.
Every elemental energy thread was like a spider's web, connecting to the formation restrictions like a sensor.
Bai Xiaowen followed the first elemental energy thread and quickly found the place where the first restriction formation talisman was buried.
The Eye of Evolution actively observed the formation talisman.
Suddenly, the small formation talisman rapidly enlarged in Bai Xiaowen's eyes. The various runes that formed the formation talisman, as well as the elemental energy routes that formed the runes, were clearly displayed.
Bai Xiaowen already had a certain level of knowledge about spell talismans and could understand the key points of the elemental energy routes of the formation talisman.
He gently stretched out a finger and spat out a thread of elemental energy from the tip of his finger. It quietly landed on the key points of the elemental energy routes and cut them off.
This scene was as precise and accurate as a bomb disposal expert cutting off the fuse of a bomb.
To achieve this step, the powerful observation ability of the Eye of Evolution and the superiority of Bai Xiaowen's elemental energy were indispensable.
After destroying the first restriction formation talisman, Bai Xiaowen continued to move forward and destroyed the second one in the same way.
Then came the third one. He followed the formula to get the herbs, but took a little more time.
The restriction on the door of the Treasure House didn't pose a problem for Bai Xiaowen. He did the same thing and disabled the restriction on the door.
Creak creak.
A soft sound could be heard as the door of the Treasure House opened.
Bai Xiaowen buried a straw doll about two to three hundred meters away from the Treasure House. Then, he sneaked into the Treasure House.
This was an underground Treasure House. The straight passageway extended into the darkness, and there were stone doors on both sides of the passageway.
Bai Xiaowen looked carefully and saw that there were restriction formation talismans on the stone doors as well.
"Shangqing school is indeed a professional distributor of talismans."
Bai Xiaowen muttered to himself. After some effort, he broke open the first stone door on the left.
When the stone door opened, a stone room about three square meters appeared in front of him. Above the stone table, four restriction light balls of different colors were suspended.
Every restriction light ball was translucent, and one could vaguely see the treasures stored inside.
