Chapter 324 - 228: Two Arrows Shock Yuan Tongye into Retreat!
Mr. Lu’s courtyard.
The surrounding neighbors had been asked to leave and were relocated elsewhere.
This was the handiwork of the Observatory, under the orders of the Commander, personally handled by Han Commander.
But by doing so, it could not be kept a secret anymore.
Given Mr. Lu’s current status and his reputation outside, the sudden closure of the courtyard could only mean two things.
Either the old man was at the end of his life, or he was attempting the Refining God Skill, a venture where one has a nine in ten chance of dying.
At this moment, Lin Yan, with his blade in hand, was patrolling outside the courtyard.
The courtyard was not large, and with his cultivation level, he could sense everything within it; a gust of wind, the movement of grass, ants, and insects, he was aware of them all.
"Although the noise made during Qi Refining and God Transformation cannot be concealed, this act is quite ostentatious. Without Mr. Lu’s instructions, this would not have been done," Lin Yan said slowly. "Mr. Lu desires to refine his godly essence, which is already a life-and-death struggle. The path he follows is much more arduous than that of a regular Qi Refining Realm cultivator."
"The last time the courtyard was sealed, it seemed it was not just for a discussion. It was also to make the Observatory Tower suspicious, to keep an eye on this courtyard at all times," he continued.
"So this time, when the courtyard was sealed off, the Observatory Tower would notice immediately."
