Lou Mu Yan and the others cultivated in a canyon near the central city, waiting for the fish to be hooked on the bait.
Sure enough, after the spread of information from scheming people, their news quickly spread to the ears of the elite teams of various kingdoms.
“Leader, we’ve already received news about Lou Mu Yan.”
“Is the news reliable?”
“Absolutely reliable. She and the two teams from small kingdoms are staying in Reed Wind Grand Canyon.”
“Go and assemble the people to set off quickly, better not let others snatch the jade tablets first.”
“Yes!”
Such conversations resounded in various places within and outside the city.
In the private room of Stream Reflection Restaurant.
Luo Li repeated the news he had obtained to the rest, then looked at Luo Ye with a slightly worried look, “Elder Brother, so many people want Lou Mu Yan’s jade tablets, why don’t we also go to the Grand Canyon to help her.”
Si Nan’s team had just returned from outside the city, and they came to the restaurant together after meeting Luo Li. There was also worry in his eyes.
“No need, if we go, we’ll only cause trouble.” Luo Ye said lightly, playing with the moonlight cup in his hand.
Luo Li furrowed his brows, “How could it be causing trouble?”
“She purposefully lured those people there. If we go and scare them away, you better be careful not to get beaten by her.” Luo Ye said slowly.
Luo Li was startled for a moment, then the corners of his lips twitched. If he really ruined that woman’s plans, then he might really be beaten.
“Elder Brother, you mean that she deliberately lured those people there? Why did she do this?” Luo Li asked.
Si Nan looked at him with a ‘you’re an idiot’ gaze, “Lou Mu Yan, that little fox, definitely wants to lead those people to come to her door to send her their jade tablets.”
After listening to Luo Ye’s words, he also understood. With Lou Mu Yan’s intelligence, how was it possible for everyone to know where she was hiding. He couldn’t think of any other purpose other than to snatch jade tablets.
Luo Ye reached out his hand and patted his younger brother’s shoulder, “You’re confused in your worry.”
Lou Mu Yan had so many different coloured jade tablets in her hands. Those people of the elite teams from large and middle kingdoms didn’t dare provoke them, but they dared to snatch her. Even if those people realised that she was releasing the news on purpose, they still wouldn’t give up the idea of robbing her.
“Then why don’t we go and take a look. If there are too many people, we can go snatch some along the way.” Luo Li and Lou Mu Yan had been separated for several months already, and a feeling of longing that he had never felt before rose in his heart.
Luo Ye sighed. Younger Brother was really sinking in deeper and deeper.
“Alright, as you like.”
Si Nan also wanted to see what tricks Lou Mu Yan wanted to play, so he decided to follow them secretly.
He’lian Lie, Yan Jun and Mo Ling also shared the same thoughts as them.
On that day, Lou Mu Yan and the several others were cultivating when suddenly, an unfamiliar Elemental Energy fluctuation broke the calm of the canyon.
“They’re here.” Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes and said with a smile.
Ye Qing Han and the others were also looking forward to this, and it seemed that they were exceptionally eager for it, having long been prepared.
Their plan was very successful. As expected, two elite teams from large kingdoms arrived and entered Lou Mu Yan’s Soul-Disorienting Array.
She had now been promoted to Advanced-Phase Sword Monarch, her Spiritual Energy was even more dense, and she could also set up Grade 3 Arrays to besiege and confuse enemies.
Arrays were also divided into Grades on this Continent, from Grade 1 to Grade 9. Array Masters Grade 4 and above were all targets to win over of various forces in this world, and exceptionally rare.
In the Soul-Disorienting Array, those Sword Masters would lose their senses for an incense stick of time, and in the Array, Lou Mu Yan also incorporated Miao Miao’s venomous gas, making them move very slowly.
Soon the jade tablets of the previous groups of people were easily removed by them, and they hardly used much combat power.
“Mu Yan, your method of ‘guarding a stump and waiting for hares to bump into it’ is very useful.” Ye Qing Han said after taking off the jade tablet of the last opponent Sword Master.
Lou Mu Yan said with a smile: “It was they who acted greedy first, we just fought back.”
They lured those people into the Soul-Disorienting Array, then after they were caught in Miao Miao’s venomous gas, they moved slowly, allowing them to enter into the Array to snatch jade tablets.
However, she didn’t intend to kill. After snatching the jade tablets, they didn’t hurt or kill anyone, only waiting for them to be automatically teleported out of the competition space, then they continued to lure the second wave of people in.
“We obtained a lot of jade tablets today. This is indeed much faster than us taking the initiative to attack.” Yun Lan said with a smile.
Lou Mu Yan nodded. “More people will eventually come too.”
Inside the central castle.
The Elders of the Six Major Sects couldn’t help holding their foreheads when they watched Lou Mu Yan lure their enemies into the depths of their Arrays. How did this girl’s brain grow—she could even think of such an idea.
“Did she get inspiration from when she was besieging the Beast Tides? This way of ‘guarding a stump and waiting for hares to bump into it’ is fast, accurate and ruthless.” The Elder of the Sword Sect revealed some admiration in his eyes.
The eyes of the strong and sturdy Elder of the Eight Extremes Sect lit up brightly, “It’s more than good! This was simply too good!”
If he wasn’t mistaken, Lou Mu Yan arranged a Grade 3 Array. Such talent would even be comparable to the older pupils who had cultivated Arrays for many years from their Eight Extremes Sect.
The other people glanced at the excited Eight Extremes Sect Elder with disdain. Even if he’s that excited, she still wouldn’t go to their Eight Extremes Sect.
“Although they used tricks, but they didn’t snatch the interspatial rings of the loser or cause any massacres. Their hearts and temperaments are indeed rare.” The Medicine Sect’s Elder smiled kindly, and his satisfaction with Lou Mu Yan soared.
The Elder of the Beast Tamer’s Sect nodded and said: “She is indeed a good seedling. Not only Lou Mu Yan, but also Ye Qing Han, Lou Mu Bai and Yun Zi Mo are very good.”He had already chosen Ye Qing Han. If he could reach the top hundred, he would let him directly enter as an Outer Core Pupil.
Lou Mu Bai and Yun Zi Mo had good talents and temperaments, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the expertise in taming Beasts. But that was fine too, it was only right to net them all in since they’re good seedlings.
Although the Six Major Sects each had one profession that was particularly outstanding, but within their Sect, they also had other cultivation options.
For example, the Beast Taming Sect also had branch departments in Arrays, Alchemy, and Smithing, among which there were many well-qualified pupils.
“Yun Zi Mo’s Path of the Sword is righteous and in line with our Sword Sect. If he can enter the finals, then we won’t be humble and will accept him.” The Elder of the Sword Sect said.
Hearing him say that, the other Elders weren’t disapproving. The Sword Sect liked Yun Zi Mo, then if Yun Zi Mo really went, they didn’t lose much either, unlike them contending for Lou Mu Yan.
“Our Heavenly Secret Palace wants that boy, Lou Mu Bai.” The wise-looking Elder from the Heavenly Secrets Palace said with a smile.
It was just that the others didn’t agree with his words. Lou Mu Bai was Lou Mu Yan’s elder brother. It might affect Lou Mu Yan’s choice. When the time came, they would definitely have to fight for him, not to mention that Lou Mu Bai’s talent and potential also deserved their attention.
“Let’s see how the dark horse named Chu Han is doing.” The elder of the Vast Mountain Sect suggested with a smile of interest.
The Elders of the other Sects also revealed interest. Apart from Lou Mu Yan this time, Chu Han was also the dark horse they wanted to compete for.
The Elders of the Six Major Sects had already begun to discuss the ‘home’ of the pupils, while Lou Mu Yan and the others ushered in a new enemy.
