Chapter 1228 Something Big Happened
In front of the Nine Floors of Jiang Shang Ming Yue, dozens of pots of peonies were placed. Don't assume they were just for decoration; they formed a small-scale peony wealth-attracting feng shui formation. On the east plaza, seventy-two large red lanterns were hung. Their placement was peculiar, painted with Vermillion Birds, forming a seventy-two Vermillion Bird lantern wealth-attracting feng shui formation. On the west plaza, colorful ribbons were wound in the positions of the Eight Trigrams, adorned with White Tiger patterns, also forming a wealth-attracting feng shui formation. In the north, rockeries and flowing water were arranged into a grand wealth-attracting feng shui formation. These four wealth-attracting feng shui formations combined to form a Four Symbols Wealth-Attracting Grand Formation!
Not to mention, this Four Symbols Wealth-Attracting Grand Formation was indeed quite elaborate. This Celestial Master Zhang actually had some skill. After observing for a moment, Chen Xuan nodded slightly. Suddenly, his expression changed. This Four Symbols Wealth-Attracting Grand Formation used arrays to attract wealth luck from heaven and earth. However, the wealth luck around Jiang Shang Ming Yue had already been polluted by malevolent energy. If it were attracted here, wouldn't it only worsen their misfortune? This grand formation absolutely could not be completed, otherwise, it would only bring endless misfortune to the Huo family.
Just then, Celestial Master Zhang and Huo Du walked over quickly, their faces full of smiles. Before they even arrived, Huo Du excitedly said, "Dad, Celestial Master Zhang has finished the arrangement. As soon as you give the word, this feng shui grand formation can be activated to resolve the malevolent energy of Jiang Shang Ming Yue."
"Really?" Huo Guangtai was taken aback.
"Of course, my Four Symbols Wealth-Attracting Grand Formation is something my master taught me as his ultimate skill. I've poured all my effort into it today," Celestial Master Zhang said, chest puffed out, full of confidence, appearing to have utmost faith in the feng shui grand formation he had set up. That was natural; Celestial Master Zhang had set up wealth-attracting formations for many wealthy individuals before, but this was his first time dealing with such a grand display of a feng shui formation.
"This grand formation absolutely cannot be completed!" Chen Xuan's expression turned serious. Everyone was startled and looked at Chen Xuan.
Huo Du sneered, "Cannot? Are you afraid that Celestial Master Zhang will break through the predicament of Jiang Shang Ming Yue first, and you won't get any money?"
Celestial Master Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, I gave you a chance to prove yourself, but you don't cherish it and instead oppose me at this critical moment. It seems I've been too merciful."
Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Esteemed Celestial Master Zhang, what feng shui formation have you set up, and what is the current situation? Do you know?"
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's question, Celestial Master Zhang initially didn't want to answer, but in order to showcase his abilities, he smiled faintly and said, "This is my Four Symbols Wealth-Attracting Grand Formation, a supreme feng shui formation among wealth-attracting formations. It can attract wealth energy from a radius of ten kilometers, enough to bring Jiang Shang Ming Yue back from the brink of collapse!"
Huo Du added, "Yes, Celestial Master Zhang has set up the Four Symbols Wealth-Attracting Grand Formation, which is extremely powerful. You dare to question Celestial Master Zhang, so what have you prepared?"
Before Chen Xuan could speak, Celestial Master Zhang noticed the talismans in Chen Xuan's hand and ridiculed, "You're actually using talismans to attract wealth? How ridiculous! If you had any ability, you'd know that talismans are of little effect for attracting wealth, especially when Jiang Shang Ming Yue is in such great trouble."
What Celestial Master Zhang said was not entirely wrong, but he had no idea that Chen Xuan was using these thirteen talismans not to attract wealth for the Huo family, but to form a barrier to prevent the surging malevolent energy from invading Jiang Shang Ming Yue.
"Mr. Chen, why not let Celestial Master Zhang try first?" Huo Guangtai also said. While these words sounded polite, it was clear that Huo Guangtai trusted Celestial Master Zhang more. Judging by the scale of the arrangements, Chen Xuan's thirteen talismans were significantly inferior in presence compared to Celestial Master Zhang's grand display.
Chen Xuan said calmly, "Then it's settled. If anything unexpected happens to your Huo family, don't blame me for not warning you."
"What could possibly go wrong!" Huo Du said with contempt. Celestial Master Zhang also sneered inwardly. Huo Guangtai clearly didn't believe Chen Xuan's words. After all, a wealth-attracting formation would at most be ineffective; how could anything unexpected happen? He thought Chen Xuan was an outright swindler.
"Thank you, Celestial Master Zhang!" Huo Guangtai clasped his hands towards Celestial Master Zhang, his eyes filled with respect. Celestial Master Zhang raised his chin, straightening his chest with evident enjoyment. He always enjoyed the subservient demeanor of important figures like Huo Guangtai towards him, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Then, Celestial Master Zhang began to chant obscure incantations, and the Four Symbols Wealth-Attracting Grand Formation was considered complete. A moment later, he smiled and looked at Huo Guangtai and Huo Du, saying, "I have completed the task. Within ten minutes, the Huo family's disaster will pass, and a new chapter will begin!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Guangtai and Huo Du were extremely excited, eagerly awaiting the good fortune to descend. Before anything significant happened, Huo Du exclaimed excitedly, "Celestial Master Zhang is mighty! Celestial Master Zhang is powerful!"
Watching Huo Du cheer for Celestial Master Zhang, Chen Xuan subtly shook his head. His gaze shifted to the building of Jiang Shang Ming Yue, and his expression gradually became extremely solemn. He saw that the four wealth-attracting grand formations had been activated, but what they attracted was not wealth, but the rolling malevolent energy from the Jiang Shang Ming Yue. The entire Jiang Shang Ming Yue was plunged into darkness. Both the east and west plazas were shrouded in ominous clouds, a heavy oppressive darkness, like the sky before a torrential downpour. The Huo family was truly in for it!
"Celestial Master Zhang, the pow..."
Just then, a wisp of malevolent energy directly pierced into Huo Du's forehead. Huo Du collapsed to the ground, headfirst, his forehead bleeding profusely. Huo Guangtai was also stunned and quickly knelt down to check on Huo Du, anxiously asking, "Du'er, what's wrong?"
Celestial Master Zhang walked over and said lightly, "Mr. Huo, I also have some knowledge of medicine. I can examine Young Master Huo."
Huo Guangtai moved aside, allowing Celestial Master Zhang to treat Huo Du. Celestial Master Zhang knelt beside Huo Du and reached out to feel his pulse. While Celestial Master Zhang was not a divine doctor by any means, he was skilled enough to diagnose common ailments. However, after checking Huo Du's pulse, he found nothing. He then pinched Huo Du's philtrum and massaged him, but Huo Du remained unresponsive, his breath growing weaker.
"Celestial Master Zhang, you must save my son," Huo Guangtai pleaded. Seeing that the situation was dire, others had already called 120. Celestial Master Zhang frowned, then glanced at Huo Du's complexion, and his expression instantly changed drastically, almost making him jump up. Huo Du's forehead was as black as ink, with a faint purplish hue, a sign of extreme ill fortune!
"Celestial Master Zhang, what's wrong?" Huo Guangtai, seeing Celestial Master Zhang's surprised expression, thought his son's condition had taken a turn for the worse. Celestial Master Zhang looked up at Huo Guangtai, about to explain, but his expression changed again. He saw that Huo Guangtai's face was also blackened, though much better than Huo Du's. Earlier, he had examined the Huo family's physiognomy. Despite their great troubles, their complexions had been ruddy. What was happening now?
At this moment, Chen Xuan stepped forward and said sternly, "Now that Jiang Shang Ming Yue is closed and will not endanger its guests, if it is eroded by malevolent energy, it will threaten the lives of your Huo family members."
