Chapter 597: A Chain of Traps

r returning to their home in the capital, the Zhao family of three was still a bit somber. Zhou Mu's mood hadn't lifted yet. After all, Qian Rou had been her beloved child since she was little. She c...Far from the construction site, Tao Yong held a telescope, watching Wu Lianyi walk into the trap he had set. A smug smile played on his lips; he had prepared quite a show for her.

After Liàn Yī stepped into the illusionary array before him, he heard a familiar voice:

"Master, why are you unwilling to accept me"

As the ripples subsided, she found herself bound to a chair. Before her stood Mu Xinyuan, her own flesh and blood, turned into a traitor. She raised an eyebrow and then spoke in a cold tone:

“Because you are stupid! As a celestial master, you were seduced by a female ghost and attacked your own master. I have already decided to expel you from the sect. How could I possibly accept your ridiculous feelings.”

Each word of the ripple was piercing his heart, causing Musen's face to dim instantly. He almost hysterically asked:

"No! You clearly like me, why would you say things that hurt me!"

Ripple let out a cold snort, she knew she could never wake someone who was pretending to sleep, so she said sarcastically:

"How could I possibly like you Are you stronger than me or richer Are you as beautiful as Pan An or have a perfect figure You have neither money nor power, nor any qualities that would move me. You only have wishful thinking!" Let me know if you'd like anything else translated!

What you call liking is simply wanting to lean against me, this big tree, for shade. I am your master, and the world will only say that a master like me is unworthy of teaching. They'll say I attacked my own student. As a weakling, you are unable to resist, and it is I who will be condemned while you reap the benefits.

You said you had such a foolish and malicious mind, I was blind to see through it. Before, I just pretended not to know because of the master-disciple relationship. But now, even that bit of affection has been worn away by you!

Do you think I, Wu Lianyi, would fall for someone who's beneath me, a fool who disrespects authority

The ripples of the words fell on Mu Xi's face, a look of surprise. With a slight effort, she broke free from the chains that bound her, which were formed by talismanic seals.

Then Ripple raised her hand, and in Mu Xiannian's terrified eyes, she grabbed the opponent's collar, throwing him to the ground. Then she rained down punches, targeting the most vulnerable spots on his body. Her fists were wrapped with a faint spiritual energy, directly beating out the jade talisman that had strengthened his evil thoughts from his body.

Mousy Nian, who was beaten to tears, regained his composure while being beaten by Lianyi. The memories of high fever that he had deliberately abandoned before surged back. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have caused trouble again.

"Master, please stop! I'm awake! I'm awake!"

Musi Nian was very fortunate that his mouth wasn't shut, otherwise he truly would be calling out to heaven and earth with no response.

Ripple looked into the other person's eyes, confirming that they were truly awake, then she stopped, shook her wrist, and asked coldly:

"How did I get here"

Muxi Nian only just stood up from the ground when he felt a heat in his nostrils, blood flowing. He quickly wiped it with his sleeve and then felt a sharp pain in his face. Looking at his master's expression, which showed no guilt whatsoever, he couldn't help but smile wryly. It seemed that this person who had taken his master's place had wanted to beat him up for a long time, just never had the chance. This time, he had really walked into a trap.

"Master, I was deceived by that art student girl who was pursuing me."

"Pfft, look at you! You've got so little ambition!"

Ripple didn't forget to dig at the other person, and continued:

“Do you remember what you said before I punched you”

Muxi's eyes darted around, awkwardly nodding. He didn't know what was happening either. Memories from his past life surged back, causing him to lash out and question his master so frantically.

You are a freshman who has nothing going for you. You're not good-looking, you don't have a family name or connections, you're not wealthy, and your grades aren't the best either. Your only asset is being a master of the mystic arts, but when you flaunt it, you inadvertently give someone the perfect excuse to take advantage of you.

"Didn't she say that something happened at her construction site and she wanted you to take a look She said it wasn't serious, just that some workers saw a ghost at night, but it didn't hurt anyone. You can handle this. You want to impress the girl, so you came running over."

At this point, Mu Xian's head was almost touching his chest. He wished he could dig a hole and bury himself because what the master said felt like she had seen it with her own eyes.

"Master, I was wrong!"

Besides apologizing, Musiyen didn't know what else he could do.

"Alright, since you're here, help me find the mastermind behind this. This trap was set for me, you just got caught in it by chance."

Lan Ri tossed a pack of tissues to Mu Xin Nian, letting him wipe his nosebleed, then she used her spiritual energy to weave a silken thread, directly tying it to the other's wrist. Only then did she speak:

"Follow me, don't get lost. This illusionary formation was set up by the enemy specifically for me."

Actually, ripples can defeat ten enemies with just a summon of the Lei Yao sword. It's just that she sensed other ghosts here and doesn't want to harm the innocent, so she's preparing to determine the nature of these ghosts before making a decision.

Two people only took two steps before entering another illusion. This time, Mu Xi Nian wasn't mesmerized but was rather surprised looking at the villa in front of him, feeling very unfamiliar. On the other hand, Lian Yi narrowed her eyes, feeling that this place seemed very familiar.

At this moment, a strange voice arose:

"Haha! You have your day now! This time I will make you wish you were dead!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a crimson figure with dark hair appeared before Ripples. It was Zhang Zhe, who should have been scattered into dust and ashes.

Ripples appeared in his eyes, a flash of gold revealing the ghost before him was Zhang Ze, but not entirely. She saw infant heads within his body, constantly rising to the surface, as if to assert their presence.

"Master, his body is pieced together from the Yin souls of ghost children. It's likely that they consumed each other."

Mù Xīnián although his cultivation is not strong, he has the ability to see yin and yang, his eyesight is still quite good.

He must have been saved by someone, otherwise, with the sealing formation I set up, he wouldn't have been able to leave the place where he died.

Ripples said softly.

Zhang Zhe was about to go mad. This woman had made him into a ghost servant, and now she entered his domain as if she didn't care about him at all. He immediately manifested his enormous ghostly form and pounced on Lian, vowing to tear a piece of flesh from her body.

The ripples took a step back, pushing Mushiane in front of her, then calmly said:

"Beat him with the Tiger Fist I taught you! I'll have your back!"

"Yes! Master!"

Muxi also felt stifled. He was being used and almost harmed his master again. He desperately needed an outlet, and this ghost that rushed over was the perfect target. He channeled his spiritual energy, directing it to his eyes and fists, and charged forward with a flurry of punches.

"I'm going to scare you! I let you scheme against my master! I'll beat you to death!"

Muxi's angry fist landed solidly on Zhang Zhe's ghostly figure, leaving him stunned.

"What Didn't your master tell you, my apprentice has the Third Eye. He can do more than just see ghosts and spirits; he can even touch souls with his physical body. That's a Heavenly Master bestowed with blessings from Heaven!" do!"Ringlets smiled sweetly."That's right! You're a god, you must have lived for a long time and know a lot."Ripple twitched the corner of her mouth, this little girl was implying she was old."I've j...
