Chapter 102 Using a cannon to kill a mosquito
"I think you've probably guessed why I called you all here today."
Zhuge Zhong didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"Our Wuhou Sect's patriarch died so mysteriously, and the murderer is very likely the Quanxing sorcerer, White Owl Liang Ting!"
"Uncle Zhong, have you found out?"
"Even in his dying moments, Sixth Grandfather couldn't figure out who killed the clan leader. Who would have thought it was the Quanxing demon!"
"Outrageous! If we don't avenge this, how will our Wuhou Sect face the world in the future!"
……
Looking at the indignant crowd below, Zhuge Zhongdang simply waved his hand.
"I've summoned you here today for no other reason than to descend the mountain and avenge our clan leader! Zhuge Yuan!"
"exist!"
"You're on Yi Qi's side!"
"yes!"
"Zhuge Tian!"
"exist!"
"You're on Ding Qi's side!"
"yes!"
……
Subsequently, under the command of the elder of the second clan, Zhuge Zhong, a total of nine people stood in their respective positions.
These nine people were all clansmen carefully selected by Zhuge Zhong. Not only were their birth dates compatible, but they were also all well-known experts in the clan.
Looking at the nine people sitting cross-legged in specific positions, Lu Jin, who was observing from the side, couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Junior Brother Yan, what are they doing?"
"The Return to Origin Formation is a spell that requires nine offerings to set up."
The offerings were named "Qi" and arranged according to the time of day: Yi Qi, Bing Qi, Ding Qi, Wu Qi, Ji Qi, Geng Qi, Xin Qi, Ren Qi, and Gui Qi.
This formation allows multiple people to enter the inner world.
Zhuge Yan began to explain.
"Connecting multiple people to enter the inner world? Wuhou Qimen, truly lives up to its reputation..."
Zuo Ruotong remarked with emotion.
Even though he was known as the "Great Immortal of Great Prosperity," he actually knew very little about divination and numerology.
Lu Jin nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
He wasn't a sorcerer, so he naturally didn't understand how magical the phrase "shared inner vision" really was to an ordinary sorcerer.
"But Master, so many people have entered the inner realm, what exactly do they want to do?"
"If I'm not mistaken, they're probably trying to divine Liang Ting's location, aren't they?"
"Yes, Master."
Zhuge Yan nodded.
Although by using the Jianghu Inn and spending some time and money, it is still possible to find Liang Ting's whereabouts.
But that's clearly the kind of thing ordinary people do when seeking revenge; the Wuhou faction has absolutely no need for it.
Just like when Zhuge Yan led his fellow disciples from the Sanyi Sect to ambush Yuan Jingui.
The information from Jianghu Xiaozhan is often outdated; it can only tell you where Liang Ting has appeared during this period.
But the information from a sorcerer is different, because it can tell you where Liang Ting will appear in a few hours or days!
"Because Sixth Grandfather had an accident just two days ago, the Second Elder is being very cautious this time."
Even for a simple calculation of Liang Ting's location, nine clansmen were immediately summoned, and they forcefully activated the Guiyuan Array to perform the calculation.
While this approach would indeed ensure absolute safety, Zhuge Yan believed it was no different from using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
Because if it were just Liang Ting, asking questions wouldn't be that difficult.
What truly led to the misfortune of Sixth Grandfather was undoubtedly the other two "answers".
"The Three Wonders have returned to their positions, the Six Instruments are now in place, the Returning Origin Formation, activate!"
With a loud shout from Zhuge Zhong, the next second, all the Wuhou faction members sitting cross-legged suddenly had beams of sky-piercing blue light in their eyes!
The blue light was so intense that even Lu Jin, who was not a sorcerer, could observe it with the naked eye.
"Is this the beginning?!"
"Um."
Zhuge Yan nodded.
Several tens of minutes later, as the blue light gradually disappeared, all the Wuhou Sect members within the Guiyuan Formation slowly closed their eyes.
"Judging from this, it should be over."
Zhuge Yan began to explain.
"So fast?"
"Just to calculate Liang Ting's location, there was no need for so many people, let alone the Guiyuan Formation."
The two elders did this simply to be on the safe side.
After saying this, Zhuge Yan walked towards Zhuge Zhong in the center of the formation.
"Second Elder, how is it?"
"Yes, I found it."
Zhuge Zhong nodded, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Three days later, Little Gold Mountain!"
"Let's not delay, let's set off immediately!"
As he spoke, Zhuge Ji immediately prepared to leave with his men.
But at that moment, Zhuge Zhong suddenly spoke up:
"No rush, there's plenty of time. Before we set off, I need to talk to your master, Yan'er."
Zhuge Yan was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Zuo Ruotong behind him with a questioning gaze.
Zuo Ruotong simply nodded in response, and then took the initiative to walk up to Zhuge Zhong.
"Master Zuo, as Yan'er's master, it is only reasonable for you to avenge your disciple's father. The entire Wuhou Sect is extremely grateful."
However, this time the Quanxing gang has really gone too far, daring to attack and kill our clan leader in broad daylight without cause!
To make an example of someone and deter others, I hope that Master Zuo will refrain from taking action during this trip.
We will show those bastards from the Quanxing Sect that our Wuhou Sect is not someone to be bullied!
After hearing these words, a smile appeared on Zuo Ruotong's face.
"Don't worry, although I am Yan'er's master, I still understand the principle of 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'."
"Rest assured, I will be there to oversee the campaign against White Owl Liang Ting."
"In that case, thank you very much, Master Zuo."
Zhuge Zhong clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed to Zuo Ruotong.
"Set off!"
-----------------
Two days later, at Xiaojinshan.
This is a small mountain village located in northern Sichuan and Chongqing.
The village is small, but it's only about 40 or 50 li away from the Wuhou Sect's mountain gate.
Not long ago, he killed the patriarch of the Wuhou Sect. Instead of hiding, he dared to come to the Wuhou Sect's territory.
This gives a glimpse into the arrogance of the white owl Liang Ting.
After arriving at Xiaojinshan early and arranging an ambush in advance, Zhuge Zhong led his clansmen to lie in wait there.
Some of them disguised themselves as street vendors, while others pretended to be passing villagers.
Clearly, this wasn't the first time this group had done this.
This is the main reason why most people with supernatural abilities are unwilling to offend sorcerers.
Because if the opponent is a warlock, it means that he has absolute initiative in most situations.
The traps you set for others can be anticipated in advance, allowing them to avoid them.
But if someone sets a trap for you, there's almost no way to prevent it.
Because you never know when he might suddenly catch you off guard!
