Necropolis Immortal

>Both the head of House Ge and the one now inhabiting him saw the city lord’s mansion as nothing more than a playground, where they could come and go as they pleased.
And because Lu Yun had been overly relaxed after his return, he’d failed to notice that anything was amiss.

“There’s no need to look for them.
If I’m his target, he’ll use Wanfeng as bait to lure me out of the city!” Lu Yun said, unexpectedly calm despite the circumstances.

Sure enough, someone came in and handed him a jade slip as soon as he’d spoken.

“A copse of trees fifteen kilometers north of the city.
I’m to go by myself?” He narrowed his eyes as his consciousness scanned through the slip’s content, then turned to the messenger.
Where a man had stood now lay a tiny paper charm, clearly a sophisticated puppet talisman.

“This is Exalted Immortal Sect handiwork.” Mo Yi frowned as she studied the charm, now devoid of life.

The Exalted Major was another of the nine majors in the world of immortals.
It surpassed Nephrite Major in strength, and that one of its sects had dared use the major’s name for its own sect clearly bespoke of its strength and status.

“The majors rarely step on each other’s toes.
Why is the Exalted Major suddenly trespassing on our lands?” Mo Yi drew her elegant brows together.

“Ah, I see.
It must be him.
What a clingy cockroach,” Lu Yun mumbled under his breath.
He’d immediately guessed his foe’s identity at the mention of the Exalted Immortal Sect: the black-robed man who’d been the only escapee from Yuying’s tomb.

“A copse of trees fifteen kilometers outside the city? I’m going with you,” Mo Yi coolly asserted.
“Killing my people in my own mansion? As the city lord, I need to take a stand.”

“I-I’m going as well,” Qing Han weakly said.

“Given your condition, it’s better for you to stay here.” Lu Yun gently shook his head.
He’d been expressly told to go alone, but it wasn’t right to forbid Mo Yi’s presence.
A right and proper city lord like her couldn’t possibly let such an affront go unanswered.

As for Qing Han, Lu Yun would have to give him a piggyback ride again.

“I…” Qing Han worried his lip, then finally nodded.

With a gentle wave of Mo Yi’s hand, the mansion’s great formation rumbled to life.
“The active Seven Stars Formation will stop all but the strongest immortals.
He’ll be safe here.”

……

Mo Yi and Lu Yun frowned when they reached the fringes of the verdant woods located fifteen kilometers to the north of the city.

“It seems like there’s more than one person after you,” the city lord whispered, smiling mirthlessly at Lu Yun.

“I count a total of eighteen formations.
They really think something of me, huh,” he exhaled loudly.
His previous self would’ve simply seen a mass of feng shui layouts blending together, but thanks to Feinie’s expertise, he could discern all of the formations within as well.

Isn’t that a little excessive to deal with little ole me? Not even an immortal would come out of that alive.
Lu Yun frowned.
Unless…
Qing Hongchen is here as well!

That young man had once seen the immortals suddenly emerging at the governor’s side, and these formations were laid out precisely to counter those very immortals.

“Feinie, go inside and rescue Wanfeng,” Lu Yun transmitted.
Somewhere inside the Gates of the Abyss, the envoy nodded and vanished from her spot.
