Chapter 446 - 213: Furious Father-in-Law! Terrifying Sacrificial Array!_5
As for the rest of the people in Canglan City, they waited for a while, their breathing somewhat erratic. When they finally concluded that nothing seemed to have happened, they breathed a sigh of relief.
They naturally cursed aloud.
"Damn cultivators, don’t even know what kind of dog thing just flew off like that."
"Don’t they know Canglan City is a no-fly zone?"
The people were displeased.
The other cultivators were even more dissatisfied. We all strictly obey the rules, but then we have a single cultivator thinking they’re above everyone, breaking the rules, which directly causes us to suffer. One cultivator was even so scared that he went limp, and probably won’t recover his masculine stature for ten years.
Ji Wubin drank his tea with a dark face: "The damned stargazers at the Observatory are even more arrogant than I am. What are they here for? Just to disgust people?"
The City Lord of the Imperial Decree Department held his head, pondering how to post an announcement tomorrow.
The Military Advisor beside him said helplessly:
"Just like before, say that the person has already been caught and given a massive penalty, then write whatever we can to vent. With the news channels controlled by us, even if the people gossip a bit, once this matter passes, it will pass."
It’s not their first time doing this, and there’s really no other way. Of course, they understand one thing clearly: this kind of thing must not be written extravagantly often, and Canglan City itself must be stable.
When Canglan City is stable, an occasional incident like this is understandable. But if the people of Canglan City are living in hardship, and then such an announcement is posted, only people from the Imperial Decree Department would believe it, belonging to self-deception, while others absolutely wouldn’t.
If you can’t even manage the development of Canglan City, and keep saying flowery things every day, who are you fooling?
Don’t really think that with a bulletin board, your Imperial Decree Department can sit on the high stage. It requires stable times as a foundation. When the times are unstable, with cries of lament everywhere, it becomes laughable.
The Military Advisor and the City Lord, candid with each other, then put on their clothes simultaneously, deciding not to continue exploring.
The rooster crowed, and by chance, the wild dogs howled fiercely, almost scaring them into being dispirited.
...
At the Burial Ground, everyone had already arrived, and the scene was chaotic. It was unclear whether it was caused by Song Qingshan earlier, or the culprit returned to the crime scene and started investigating.
"The culprit always returns to the crime scene to check things out... not sure if this routine is suitable here."
Yuchi stood nearby.
They had been at the scene for a while; he also saw so many wild deer committing suicide, this sort of thing was certainly very abnormal, but he didn’t understand why.
He hoped to see if the people from the Celestial Craft Workshop might know some details, for any deductions would be good. He feared everyone would just shake their head upon seeing it, making divine intervention impossible.
At this moment, Xu Rufeng had arrived beside Yuchi. Exchanging bows, Xu Rufeng’s face held some apology, he said:
"Our Celestial Craft Workshop does know something about arrays, but not all arrays are the same. The arrays we understand are related to the use of Spiritual Qi, but there’s no connection to Spiritual Qi at the scene, so we’re truly unsure."
This was quite embarrassing.
Things were just as Xu Rufeng said, if it was really an array-related issue involving Spirit Stones, then they would somewhat understand, as it never strays too far from the root, but here it has nothing to do with Spirit Stones. It looks like an array, but to call it a Spiritual Qi Array... that’s quite a stretch.
After Xu Rufeng’s remarks, Yuchi nodded in thought: the Celestial Craft Workshop likely understands source arrays, but probably hasn’t delved into non-source arrays.
The divine-like source arrays, roughly meaning if this array primarily utilized Spirit Stones, then the Celestial Craft Workshop would know. But if it didn’t involve Spirit Stones, Spiritual Qi, etc., then the workshop truly wouldn’t know.
Thus, Xu Rufeng was quite apologetic at this point. Speaking of the Celestial Craft Workshop, it indeed was formidable, but crossing into different fields is like crossing mountains, ignorance is ignorance, and this thing seems bizarre and odd, heaven knows what it really is.
Just as Yuchi prepared to find Miss Shanlan, Huo Yuluo had already arrived beside him.
Others immediately looked at Huo Yuluo, such a spectacular beauty was truly a first for them, only it seemed she wasn’t single... this made Yuchi look somewhat peculiar.
Ah, this young man is really admirable.
"Shanlan, do you have any thoughts?" Yuchi asked.
Shanlan must have discovered something, which is why she’s here, so what is it? Meanwhile, Yuchi’s peripheral vision glimpsed three disciples hiding in the sky, sneaking glances. These disciples were quite cheerful when they arrived, but seeing the current situation, they instantly toned it down.
More exaggerated than a date at a crematorium, this was a date at a murder scene!
"There’s a ten percent chance this is a sacrificial array," Huo Yuluo said earnestly.
