Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 144 Guest Meng

At the entrance, the young innkeeper was crying to the leader before him, "General, the bandits are so cruel!"

"Most of the people living there are young women. How could the murderer be so vicious!"

The leader, a middle-aged man clad in armor, asked, "Did you see anything unusual or suspicious last night?"

"I....."

Xuan Lizai carefully examined the shopkeeper's face. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips, and white teeth; he was a handsome man.

Wearing a light blue robe, she exuded an indescribable refreshing aura.

"Feng Siyue, don't you think this shopkeeper doesn't look like a shopkeeper?"

Feng Siyue nodded in agreement.

"I don't think so either. This person's aura is deep and steady, and the spiritual energy around him flows subtly with his every word and action. He must be a master."

The two people's perspectives are completely different, yet they strangely merge together.

Feng Siyue and the other person exchanged a glance, then remained silent and continued watching.

Nan Xiaoyi was truly speechless with bitterness. He had finally managed to escape, only to run into this incident at his own inn. He was incredibly unlucky!

After hearing his words, the general raised his head slightly and said, "I understand. Be careful when Master Meng from the Alchemist Guild comes over later."

People from the Alchemist Guild?

Nan Xiaoyi nodded.

"it is good."

Before long, a luxurious green carriage sped up, with the emblem of the Alchemist Guild on the carriage wall.

The driver didn't even need to shout; people who saw the carriage would spontaneously make way for it.

Upon seeing this, the general hurriedly went to greet them.

The carriage came to a stop, and a middle-aged man stepped out.

He was dressed in a long green robe and exuded an imposing aura.

His gaze swept over the crowd, and his slightly oppressive gaze caused many people to lower their heads and unconsciously avoid his eyes.

"Is this Ke Meng, the guild leader of the Thousand Water City Alchemist Guild branch?"

"She looks so young!"

"Isn't that right? He's only in his forties and he's already a sixth-grade alchemist!"

Ke Meng stepped down from the carriage and looked at the general.

"Where is the body?"

In the Fantasy Universe Continent, apart from the Central Plains, the royal family mostly plays a role in maintaining the stability of cities.

Because in this world, most of the cultivators with absolutely powerful cultivation levels gather in Zhongzhou, while some cultivators claim territory and become kings.

In the four states, imperial power reigned supreme, but in the central state, there was no imperial family.

The reason Ke Meng came was simply because he personally had a fondness for some rare poisons and diseases.

Therefore, I made an agreement with the city lord of Qianshui City that I could inform him if I had any difficult or strange illnesses or unusual poisons.

He came to study it.

The general clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said...

"Master, the body is on the second floor."

Ke Meng nodded and went into the inn to the second floor.

After the man disappeared from sight, the voices around Feng Siyue grew louder, "With Lord Meng here, this thief will surely be caught soon!"

"Who can argue with that? In this Thousand Water City, Master Ke's alchemy skills are at least in the top three. Everyone, disperse!"

As the crowd slowly dispersed, Feng Siyue received a piece of information.

This Ke Meng seems to have a high reputation in Qianshui City.

"Let's go too."

Now, she had no reason to approach the corpses that piqued her curiosity.

Feng Siyue bought a beginner's guide to array formations, the kind that you can buy for five low-level spirit stones from street vendors.

She stood at the gate, flipping through the jade slip in her hand.

The East Qian position uses Heaven and Earth as the array plate. It is located four steps southeast of the array eye. Its momentum is as calm and peaceful as water, and as fierce and violent as fire. It has the power to turn the world upside down and change everything. Therefore, East Qian is chosen.

Dong Qian...the core of the formation...

The array eye is the most crucial and core part of the array. It is the essence of the array and controls and maintains the operation of the entire array. If the array eye is destroyed, the array will be destroyed.

"Array eye?"

The core of the Rain Illusion Array?

Feng Siyue scratched her head; she didn't know either.

The core of a basic formation is usually in the center, but the core of a high-level formation is often varied and its location is not fixed, especially in illusion formations, where the location of the core is even more elusive.

Moreover, the presentation of this Rain Illusion Array is unlike that of ordinary arrays...

"Ah Li, I haven't asked you yet, what's the deal with that formation you used in the secret realm?"

Xuan Li had no intention of hiding it.

"I don't really understand what you're talking about either. Hongyue said he cultivates both array formations and runes, so he can seal pre-prepared array formations in the ring."

"If I need to, I will cover my hands with my spirit and make a gesture. The traces left by the gesture will form a specific rune. This rune is the most crucial part of the incomplete formation. Once the gesture is completed, the sealed formation will automatically awaken."

At some point, Feng Siyue sat cross-legged on the ground, struggling to understand Xuan Li's meaning.

"But array formations require array plates and array flags, or at the very least, certain specific and interconnected things. Talisman arrays also need talisman paper as a medium. Could this medium be your ring?"

"How can a single medium contain so many formations at the same time?"

Xuan Li thought for a moment, then tilted her head and said, "I don't know either. I still haven't figured it out."

The two were silent for a while.

"What's so hard to understand?"
