Chapter 402: Chapter 402: The Ancestor Comes to Raise the Stakes

Xia Xin, Fu’er, and Liao Qianqian immediately followed Jiangli and hurried to the backyard.

They silently exited through the yard’s back gate.

There was a reasonably large garden and driveway, as well as an artificial lake.

Beside the artificial lake, there was also a man-made garden.

Upon emerging, Jiangli immediately sensed a trace of unusual spiritual energy drifting from that garden.

She strode towards it.

At this moment.

Behind a shrubbery in the depths of the garden, Master Mu sat cross-legged on the ground, facing the direction of the Fu Family with Copper Coins, Vermilion Cotton Thread, Talisman Paper, a Compass, and a Soul Summoning Talisman all prepared in his hands.

Those unaware might think he was conducting some ancient sacrificial ritual.

Sitting there, he used Vermilion to draw a Formation on the ground, replaced the Soul Summoning Talisman and Copper Coins, cut his fingertip, and let fresh blood drop into the center of the Formation. With his blood as an offering, he activated the Soul-Attracting Array.

Evil Ghosts feed on fresh blood and yang energy; his action was akin to casting a lure.

In the shadows, Jiangli and Xia Xin watched Master Mu’s every move, and it was clear, just as Jiangli had speculated before, that Master Mu indeed had some skills.

Only his talent was not outstanding, and his spiritual energy muddled, not clear enough.

"Ancestor, is he setting up a... Soul-Attracting Array?" Xia Xin carefully observed the Formation placed by Master Mu and voiced his concern, "Ancestor, shouldn’t we stop him? It seems like his Formation is about to succeed?"

"Why should we stop it?" Jiangli seriously countered.

Xia Xin was perplexed by her question. "Shouldn’t we... stop it?"

"What for?" Jiangli smiled mischievously. "Not only will I not stop him, but I will also lend him a helping hand; the bigger the commotion this Formation causes, the more interesting it will be."

Xia Xin: "???"

He was full of question marks, not understanding what Jiangli intended to do.

Jiangli watched Master Mu’s actions but smiled slightly, flicked her fingertip, and it seemed a Copper Coin flew out and landed amidst Master Mu’s Formation.

However, the Copper Coin moved too fast for Xia Xin to see clearly.

Naturally, Master Mu didn’t see it either.

All his attention was on his Formation.

As soon as the blood touched the Soul Summoning Talisman at the center of the Formation, a red light burst forth, and the Formation seemed to come to life.

Master Mu felt a mix of alarm and elation.

Was this... a success?

Not only had it succeeded, but it seemed the effect had been greatly enhanced!

Master Mu knew his own capabilities; before starting the Formation, he had some doubts, fearing it might not work.

Yet, to his surprise, not only did it work, but the effect was much stronger than he had anticipated.

Could it be that his Cultivation Base had improved?

Contemplating this, Master Mu’s face was filled with joy.

Seeing his reaction, Jiangli tugged at the corner of her mouth and turned her head to Fu’er and Liao Qianqian with a chuckling smile.

Fu’er had a bad feeling, shivered, and said, "Ancestor... do you have any instructions?"

"Come, come, come, let’s play something fun." Jiangli hooked one arm around Fu’er and the other around Liao Qianqian. "Do you both dislike this Master Mu?"

Fu’er and Liao Qianqian nodded subconsciously.

Jiangli laughed with satisfaction. "That’s good. From now on, he’s in your hands."

Fu’er and Liao Qianqian hadn’t yet reacted.

Jiangli suddenly pushed them both forward vigorously.

The Soul-Attracting Array was spinning, and as the two ghosts approached, a fierce wind whipped up all around, and the Soul Summoning Talisman at the center of the Formation slowly began to flutter.

Under the influence of the Formation, Fu’er and Liao Qianqian’s figures began to appear gradually before Master Mu.

Master Mu, sensing the abnormality of the Formation, picked up the Mage Sword placed beside him and looked up, ready to defend himself, but as he looked up, he saw Fu’er and Liao Qianqian materializing in front of him.
