Chapter 182: The Skeletons at the Bottom of the Lake

Huang Tianci was overjoyed and said to Lingyun, "Then I must ask you, little brother, to take action, break the Feng Shui Array here, and help my family survive this tribulation."

"Huang Luo is my roommate in the dormitory, so helping him is only right. However, I do not suggest that you break the Feng Shui Array in the Villa." The words Lingyun spoke took the three people present by surprise.

"Uh, well, Fourth, I don't quite understand your thinking! If we don't break the Feng Shui Array here, what is my family supposed to do?" Huang Luo asked, feeling a bit strange.

"The Feng Shui masters you hired before, didn't they all try to break the grand Feng Shui Array set up in the Villa as soon as they arrived, only to suffer a huge loss?" Lingyun suddenly asked.

"This, that is indeed the case." Huang Tianci nodded.

"Then that's it. What is set up in this Villa is not some malicious Feng Shui Array, but a peculiar Gathering Spirit Array that can collect the Qi from other places into this location. But even the person who set up the array did not expect that the array he laid out would accidentally connect with the Feng Shui pattern of the entire villa district as a whole. In other words, to break this array, one must contend against the Feng Shui pattern of the entire villa district. It is no wonder they all hit a wall." Lingyun explained with a smile.

"A Gathering Spirit Array?" Huang Tianci was a bit bewildered.

Huang Luo, who usually liked to read novels on websites, understood: "If it is purely a Gathering Spirit Array, that means the Evil Energy you mentioned is not produced by this array, but comes from the outside. As long as we solve the source of this Evil Energy, this array can instead benefit us, right?"

"That's exactly it!" Lingyun snapped his fingers and nodded.

"But Fourth, where are we going to find the source of the Evil Energy?" Huang Luo asked.

"Leave it to me!" A flash of golden light crossed Lingyun's eyes, and he then looked toward the Villa.

In his eyes, the world suddenly became rich and colorful, with countless air currents of different colors flowing continuously in the Void. The person with the most obvious change was Huang Tianci; on his body, golden and red lights swirled continuously, faintly forming a shield. Whether it was Evil Energy, Yin Energy, or Resentment, none could do anything to him.

In Lingyun's eyes, the red light was good fortune, which indicated that Huang Tianci's Fate was currently flourishing. The golden light was the golden light of merit, its power even stronger than good fortune, which showed that Huang Tianci often did good deeds. With these two powers protecting his body, it was no wonder that the Evil Energy filling the house could not harm him.

However, Lingyun was now focused on the source of the Evil Energy. In his observation, it seemed that all the Evil Energy here came from the same source. Without hesitation, Lingyun walked directly in the direction of the source of the Evil Energy.

Seeing Lingyun walk out of the Villa, the three of them, including Huang Luo, exchanged glances and then followed behind him. Lingyun kept walking forward until he stopped in front of a small lake.

"Fourth, is this place the source of the Evil Energy?" Huang Luo looked at the small lake with some curiosity, but found that there was nothing special about it.

"The source of the Evil Energy is in this lake. Uncle, can you tell me the history of this lake?" Lingyun asked while looking at the small lake. In his eyes, wisps of Evil Energy were rising from the small lake and drifting toward the direction of the Villa where Huang Luo lived.

"This lake? A few years ago, when this villa district started construction, this small lake already existed. It is said that at first, the builders wanted to fill in this small lake, but later, I don't know what accident occurred, so this small lake was preserved and became a part of the leisure area here." Huang Tianci said.

"Is that so? It seems there is a story behind this small lake. Wait for me here for a moment, I will go down and take a look." Lingyun said to the three of them.

"Fourth, will there be any danger?" Huang Luo asked.

"Rest assured, it's just a little bit of Evil Energy, it can't do anything to me!" Lingyun waved his hand and then leaped into the small lake.

Seeing Lingyun jump into the lake just like that, Huang Luo could not help but look at Huang Tianci with some worry: "Dad, do you think Fourth will be alright going down like this?"

Huang Tianci shook his head slightly: "I don't think your roommate is a reckless person. Since he dared to jump down like this, it means he has the ability to ensure he won't have any trouble in the lake. Now all we can do is wait here."

As soon as Lingyun dove into the water, he pinched a magic seal and used the Water Escape Technique, his speed in the water soaring as he swam straight toward the bottom of the lake. Don't let the small lake's appearance fool you; it was actually very deep. Lingyun swam down for about twenty meters without seeing the bottom. But as Lingyun continued to go deeper into the lake, the faint Evil Energy in the water gradually became thicker.

"I never thought that at the bottom of this lake, there would actually be a natural gathering place for Evil Energy, capable of collecting the surrounding Evil Energy to this spot." Two golden rays shot from Lingyun's eyes, reaching all the way to the bottom of the lake.

After diving down for a while longer, Lingyun finally reached the bottom of the lake. However, upon seeing the scene at the bottom, Lingyun could not help but widen his eyes. On the stones at the bottom of the lake, dozens of skeletons were scattered in a mess! The Yin Energy and Resentment that were previously in the Villa where Huang Luo lived were emitted from these skeletons.

"These remains are a bit strange!" Lingyun frowned slightly, then his body landed beside a skeleton, and he began to examine it carefully.

"It looks like the people here were all killed by someone, and the person who struck had high strength; they were all killed in one blow." Lingyun picked up a jade pendant from beside a skeleton. "And the people who died here were not ordinary people; they actually had such treasures on them."

This seemingly ordinary jade pendant was actually carved from a rare type of jade, which had the miraculous effect of increasing a Martial Artist's cultivation speed and preventing the birth of inner demons. And this kind of jade pendant was clearly not something an ordinary secular family could possess.

Suddenly, Lingyun's brows furrowed slightly: "Tsk tsk, I really feel like I've brought quite a bit of trouble upon myself! Wouldn't you agree, little ghost hiding over there!"

Just as Lingyun's voice fell, the space on the other side shook violently, and then a semi-transparent figure slowly emerged. It was a man who looked to be about thirty years old, with wisps of Yin Energy swirling around his body; it was very clear that this man was a ghost.

"By relying on the environment here, you have actually cultivated to the peak of the Fusion stage, which is equivalent to the Earth Tier Late Stage for a Martial Artist." Lingyun's gaze landed on the man, and the corners of his mouth curled into an ambiguous smile.

"Who are you?" The man looked at Lingyun, a flash of wariness crossing his eyes. In his perception, the other party's strength was even lower than his own, but his intuition was crazily warning him that this person was dangerous, very dangerous.

"Who am I?" Lingyun curled the corners of his mouth into a smile and slowly said, "Guess!"
