Chapter 1416 Though living in the martial world, my mother dislikes fighting and killing.
Shen Linsu stormed out of Peach Blossom Manor. The people outside were puzzled by his angry outburst and quickly asked him what was wrong.
"Those thieves not only dug up my Peach Blossom Manor, but also stole our family heirloom." Shen Linsu's anger was impossible to contain, but no one thought there was anything wrong with it, after all, it was a family heirloom.
They were also quite curious about what the Peach Blossom Manor's family heirloom was, but it was obviously inappropriate to ask at this time, as it might be impossible to find it again.
"Did anyone see which direction the thief went?" Shen Linsu asked.
Those thieves were formidable; it's understandable that these people couldn't stop them. They had promised to help intercept them, but there was nothing they could do if they couldn't. Even though he was on the verge of losing his mind, he still retained some semblance of rationality.
"We didn't see anyone come out just now."
"Yes, we've been keeping watch, but we haven't seen anyone come out."
"If we actually see them, we'll stop them no matter what."
“Brother, no one has come out.” Shen Miao stepped out from the crowd, supporting Yi Xiaolan as they walked over.
Upon seeing Shen Linsu, Yi Xiaolan became concerned, and only felt slightly relieved when she saw that he was alright.
But with the family heirloom lost, Yi Xiaolan couldn't offer any comfort; nothing she said would make a difference.
"There's also a bewitching array behind Peach Blossom Manor, and it's even more powerful than the one in front. It contains all sorts of poisonous insects and miasma. Even martial arts masters would be in danger if they went in," Shen Miao said.
"Dad, they might still be inside the illusion array. I just noticed that the illusion array seems to have changed." At this moment, Shen Yue ran out, her eyes full of surprise at the changes in her family's illusion array.
Upon hearing this, Shen Linsu was also taken aback.
He quickly realized what was happening and his expression softened: "It would be better if we were really trapped."
He first comforted Yi Xiaolan with a few words, then clasped his hands in greeting to the onlookers before diving into the illusion array. Shen Yue, who was an expert in illusion arrays, was naturally called in by him and followed him in.
Shen Miao was a little worried, so she gave Yan Rugo and Xu Shan a few words of advice, asking them to help look after the outside, before she also went inside.
“Alright, be careful. Take those guards from Peach Blossom Manor with you. They're more familiar with this place, no matter what,” Yan Rugo said.
So the crowd continued to wait, while whispering amongst themselves.
Some were curious about the treasures of Peach Blossom Manor, while others discussed whether Shen Linsu could catch the gang of thieves.
Some people are saying that Peach Blossom Manor has been dug up by those thieves, leaving it completely unsightly, and it will be incredibly difficult to fill it back in. Adding to this, the family heirloom was stolen, so it's no wonder that even the usually mild-mannered Shen Linsu couldn't contain his anger.
"There's something wrong with the formation."
The person beside Chaoyue said anxiously, "Palace Master, what should we do now? If Shen Linsu finds out, it will be difficult for us to escape unscathed."
Chaoyue's expression darkened as she picked up the information copied from the Heaven-Asking Blade and began to examine it.
However, the reason for this sudden change in the illusion array was not mentioned above.
"Perhaps this is why Shen Linsu and his daughter joined forces to change the formation, trying to trap us here."
Chaoyue thought this was possible, after all, the father and daughter were experts in illusion arrays.
"Let's try to break through the formation by force and see if it works," Chaoyue said.
They couldn't just sit and wait for Shen Linsu to come and settle scores with them. This time, they hadn't found the treasure mentioned on the Heavenly Blade, but they had unexpected gains; they absolutely couldn't afford any accidents to happen here.
Chaoyue and her subordinates attempted to forcefully break through the formation.
However, they had overturned the surrounding soil, and still couldn't find a way out. Instead, the formation became increasingly unstable and began to change again.
Those watching from outside felt the earth shaking and were very curious about what was happening inside, but were warned by the people of Peach Blossom Manor that it was best to stay away at this time, because the illusion array was no longer under control.
Now, Chaoyue and her group are stuck in a daze, unable to move forward or backward.
However, Shen Linsu had already found her place.
"Even if you're leaving, you should at least leave behind the heirloom of my Peach Blossom Manor, shouldn't you?" Shen Linsu said coldly. He sized up the group of men in black in front of him, trying to figure out their identities, but they were all wrapped up tightly, even their masks were completely covering their faces, and only their eyes could be seen.
"You've gone too far! You've dug up my Peach Blossom Manor's land and stolen my Peach Blossom Manor's family heirlooms. This is going too far."
"Being trapped in the illusion array must be unpleasant, right? My Peach Blossom Manor doesn't like making enemies. If you leave the stolen goods behind, we can settle this matter today."
Chaoyue spoke, but her voice sounded completely different from her own: "What if I don't want to? I never expected that Master Shen had such a good thing in his possession. There's no reason for him to hand it over after getting it."
The team that just broke the formation together has already had some remarkable effects, and we are not far from breaking this incomplete illusionary formation.
"Since that's the case, then you can all stay here." Shen Linsu was indeed provoked, and without further ado, he directly engaged Chaoyue in combat.
At this moment, Shen Yue dared not go up and quickly hid to the side.
Those who followed Shen Linsu in also engaged in combat with the men in black.
As they fought, the illusion array was impacted by powerful forces and became increasingly unstable.
Just as the illusion array was about to break, Shen Yue shouted, "Father, the array is about to break!"
Shen Linsu intensified his attacks, attempting to capture these thieves before the formation collapsed.
Chaoyue was indeed overjoyed and launched an even fiercer attack. Once the formation was broken, she could escape.
Finally, the illusion array was broken, the obstacle in front of her disappeared, and Chaoyue could see the people watching outside.
Without lingering in the fight, she charged straight out, only to find that those outside were also prepared, especially Shen Miao, a master of poisons, who had given her a potent drug. Just as she broke free of the illusion array, Chaoyue and her men discovered that their internal energy circulation had stalled, and then they were completely unable to activate it.
Then everyone rushed forward and captured Chaoyue and the others.
Someone was quick enough to tear off their masks, revealing several very familiar faces. Everyone was especially surprised to see Asahi's face.
But considering her past actions, it's not surprising.
"Chaoyue?"
Chaoyue's face was pale, and she glared fiercely at Shen Miao. She never expected that after so many years, she would fall into Shen Miao's hands again.
"So it was you," Shen Linsu's face softened as he saw that the person had been caught. "I didn't expect you to still hold a grudge about the grievances from back then, and take advantage of my absence to attack Peach Blossom Manor."
"Thank you all." Shen Linsu cupped his hands to the crowd. "Peach Blossom Manor has encountered such a situation, and I'm afraid we can't afford to entertain you all. Later, the people from Peach Blossom Manor will book a banquet in the city down the mountain. If you have time, please come and have a drink." (End of this chapter)
