Chapter 1055: Chapter 663: [2]

He could feel that the outer city part of the Circulation Star Array had already begun to operate.

"Trying to use the Circulation Star Array to find my location?"

A faint smile appeared on Lu Qing’s face, his aura ethereal, already merged into the entire Big Array.

Even if the power of the Array swept over his body, there would be no reaction, treating him as part of the Array.

Now Lu Qing’s understanding of this outer city formation even surpassed that of the Gongshu family’s ancestors.

Moreover, the Perfect Golden Core is formless and shapeless, capable of transforming into any aura at any time.

How could they possibly track his whereabouts?

"However, this is indeed an opportunity."

Casually glancing at the dozen powerful figures in the sky, Lu Qing turned his gaze towards the direction of the inner city.

The reason he acted so ostentatiously, killing Gong Shulian in the street, was to attract the attention of the Gongshu family’s Primordial Spirit Great Powers in the inner city.

Otherwise, he could have quietly assassinated Gong Shulian when he entered Dream Rhyme Tower for pleasure.

With his current strength, this was entirely possible.

Now, by deliberately causing a scene, he indeed infuriated the Gongshu family’s ancestors, prompting them to mobilize.

Presently, even if there are still experts in the inner city, there can’t be many, making it the most vulnerable time.

Lu Qing’s figure moved silently.

The abundance of buildings in Zhou Tian City made it easy to obscure the views of the Gongshu family’s ancestors.

Besides, he had long since employed the Invisibility Secret Technique, bending surrounding light to hide his form.

As for Primordial Spirit Sense, having fully integrated his aura into the Circulation Star Array, Lu Qing was impossible to detect.

Thus, Lu Qing transformed into a shadow, swiftly moving through the city, soon arriving at the inner city’s location.

Here, he was already quite distant from the dozen or so Gongshu family ancestors.

Looking at the towering inner city walls and the array formation light screen emanating powerful fluctuations, Lu Qing didn’t hesitate, transforming into a transparent shadow, flying forward.

As his body touched the light screen, it was as if a droplet merged into the sea, causing no disturbance, silently passing through the screen into the inner city.

For the past month, through continuous downloading, copying, and comprehension, Lu Qing had long mastered the defensive formations on these city walls.

Entering them was as easy as pie.

Inside the inner city, the scene differed sharply from the outer city.

Instead of bustling buildings, there were spiritual peaks brimming with Spiritual Energy, nourished by drifting clouds and flying waterfalls, surrounded by spiritual cranes and birds.

Each peak held many elegant buildings, resembling an Immortal’s secret realm.

Viewed from the sky, one could see.

These spiritual peaks were arranged in a pattern akin to celestial stars, according to a certain mysterious array position.

Indeed, Lu Qing proceeded this way.

He concealed his presence, silently hiding within a floating cloud, activating his superpower, observing the distribution of the peaks below.

Given his expertise in arrays, he easily discerned that the distribution of spiritual peaks in the inner city mirrored the positions of the celestial bodies in the Circulation.

He had downloaded and comprehended seventy percent of Zhou Tian City’s Arrays.

The most crucial thirty percent likely resided within these mountain and peak formations.

Activating his superpower, observing the mountainous formations below for a moment, when textual information appeared in his view, Lu Qing’s heart warmed.

Without hesitation, he chose to download immediately.

[...Download complete, initiate simulation?]

Seeing the information from his superpower, this time, Lu Qing temporarily opted against simulation.

With time limited and the possibility of the dozen Gongshu family ancestors returning, he needed to act quickly.

After all, having downloaded the formation, he could simulate and comprehend it later at his leisure.

So after recognizing the terrain, he descended and headed in a particular direction.

Over the past six months, Lu Qing hadn’t just been comprehending formations; he had pinpointed Qiao Rong’s location.

It’s worth noting that the outer city hosts a substantial population.

Among them, aside from various forces affiliated with the Gongshu family, most were members of the Gongshu family’s collateral branches.

The artifact refining shop Lu Qing operated allowed him some contact with these collateral disciples of the Gongshu family.

With his strength, combined with the Mistaken Divine Skills.

Learning some inner city information from these people was naturally not difficult.

Which included the residence of Qiao Rong.

"Peak of Quiet Shadows, it’s said that after Qiao Rong’s outburst, publicly placing a bounty on Nangong Yuanwu and severely injuring him, a conflict erupted between the Gongshu and Nangong families, almost leading to war.

Only after mediation by the Holy Alliance did the Gongshu and Nangong families reluctantly reconcile.

But afterward, Qiao Rong was still punished; even as the second house’s direct-line wife, she was exiled to the Peak of Quiet Shadows for quiet recuperation, not allowed to leave without orders."

Lu Qing recalled the information he had uncovered, his figure like a specter, quickly moving in the inner city, steadily approaching the Peak of Quiet Shadows.

Soon, he arrived before a spiritual peak exuding a cold aura, smiling as he saw the three large, black characters inscribed on the mountainside.

Coincidentally, a maid-like young girl was approaching from not far away, seemingly heading to the Peak of Quiet Shadows.

Lu Qing’s expression shifted slightly, and a Divine Soul Fluctuation already landed in the young girl’s forehead acupoint.

As Lu Qing used an Illusion Technique to probe the maid’s heart and spirit for information.

In a house on the Mountain of Quiet Shadows, a luxuriously dressed middle-aged matron asked nervously, "Have you found out what happened, why did the ancestors suddenly come out?"

For a dozen Primordial Spirit Ancestors to abruptly awaken and come out, it was unprecedented in a millennium.

What significant event occurred, could the Demon Clan be attacking?

"Reporting to Madam, this old servant just went to the ancestral temple to inquire. It was said that the Seven Ancestor of the Third House, enshrined in the ancestral hall, had its Soul Lamp suddenly extinguished.

Then the Fourth Ancestor became furious, shouted ’Dare to assassinate my Gongshu family’s Primordial Spirit,’ and rushed to the outer city.

Soon after, the other ancestors awakened en masse and rushed out to the outer city together."

An elder, who looked like a steward, answered respectfully, surprise still visible on his face.

He seemed still shocked at the information he had uncovered.

"The Seventh Ancestor was assassinated in the outer city; have you confirmed this?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged matron stood up in shock.

She had heard the previously resonant words from the Fourth Ancestor but didn’t expect the victim to be a direct-line ancestor of their Gongshu family.

"Why was the Seventh Ancestor in the outer city? Oh yes, the old thing had a fondness for women, every six months, he would visit those disreputable places in the outer city for pleasures, and today happened to be his day out."

The middle-aged matron first couldn’t believe it, but then realized the reason.

"No wonder the old folks awakened, they were always protecting that old thing, now he’s dead, won’t they be desperate!

But it’s a good death; that old thing should have died long ago!"

The middle-aged matron showed delight, seemingly very happy about Gong Shulian’s death.

However, the steward’s expression drastically changed, quickly saying, "Madam, mind your words, if the ancestors hear of this, it will be trouble!"

"What should I fear, I’m already exiled to this wretched place, can it get any worse, could they kill me? When I married into the Gongshu family, Gong Shulian was already drooling at me, now he’s dead, how can I not be happy!"

The middle-aged matron, unafraid, retorted fiercely.

Since Yu Er’s death and her relegation to the Peak of Quiet Shadows, she had harbored deep resentment towards the Gongshu family, wishing for its destruction.

The steward stood by anxiously and helplessly, not daring to say more.

"Did you find out who killed that old thing Gong Shulian?"

The middle-aged matron continued to ask.
