Chapter 114: Sudden Situation, Mist Spreading
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Yuan thought that he had stopped the soul cleansing of Xu Wan’er as soon as he noticed Bai Dafei and Meng Ruyan’s arrival.
In the shortest time possible, he had Xu Wan’er leave his courtyard.
However, because he had just come out of seclusion, there was a lot of evidence in the courtyard that could not be eliminated in time.
Although Lu Yuan was steady, he had not been in too many relationships before.
He did not expect Meng Ruyan to suddenly check in on him.
Therefore, Lu Yuan did not have time to remove the traces of Xu Wan’er’s life in the courtyard.
He could not be blamed for not being steady enough. It was just that when it came to relationships, girls would all receive a 200% IQbonus. They were even more famous than detectives.
She might be able to find evidence through clues and traces of Lu Yuan’s betrayal.
Lu Yuan felt that Meng Ruyan must have discovered this.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan’s little brain worked quickly and said directly, “Senior Sister must be joking. When did I raise any maids?”
“Oh, really? Are you sure?”
Lu Yuan looked at the half-smiling Meng Ruyan and said with certainty,
“Senior Sister, there really isn’t.”
Just as Meng Ruyan was about to say something, Lu Yuan spoke first.
“Senior sister, I really don’t have any maids. I don’t know why you would say that.”
“But if I have to say it, the only other woman that I have been in contact with during this period was a lady from the City Lord’s Estate called Wan’er who took care of me while I was injured.”
“I think the lady you mentioned might be her.”
Looking at Lu Yuan’s sincere eyes, Meng Ruyan really couldn’t find any flaws.
In the end, she could only believe Lu Yuan’s words.
Seeing that Meng Ruyan finally stopped pestering him about this matter, Lu Yuan finally heaved a sigh of relief.
This crisis was over.
Then, Lu Yuan brought the two of them into his residence.
As for Xu Wan’er, who was originally going to receive soul cleansing, Lu Yuan had asked her to move away from the courtyard in the current situation.
After all, Lu Yuan did not dare to imagine what would happen if lucky lady number one and number two met.
It was also because Lu Yuan’s divine soul was now powerful that the range of his perception had become much wider.
Even someone like the Demoness Meng Ruyan couldn’t sense his spiritual sense.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan would not have been able to let Xu Wan’er run out of the courtyard so quickly.
If the two of them really met, there might be some sparks.
That would not be easy to end…

Outside Moon Mountain Pass, Full Moon Mountain Range.
At this moment, many cultivators from various sects had gathered in the middle section of the Full Moon Mountain Range.
The reason they gathered here was simple. They were waiting for the Tidal Moon to appear and enter the Full Moon Mountain Range.
“Senior Brothers, do you feel that something is wrong?”
“Something’s wrong? Is there something wrong?”
Hearing his companion’s words, a disciple of Yuchan Sect asked in confusion. The other Yuchan disciple looked around and felt that something had changed. However, after observing for a moment, he could not find where and what changed.
After a round of searching, that Yuchan Sect disciple finally thought that he was being paranoid.
“It’s fine. I might have worried too much.” He shook his head.
The other Yuchan Sect disciple smiled and said, “If you ask me, Junior Brother
Li, you’re just too nervous.”
“There’s still a full year before the Tidal Moon starts.”
“Before the Tidal Moon starts, there won’t be too much danger in the Full Moon Mountain Range. Don’t worry.”
“Senior brother you’re right. Perhaps I am too nervous…”
While they were conversing with each other, these few Yuchan Sect disciples did not notice that a white fog in the distance was slowly spreading towards them.
The reason why they did not notice this even though they did not enter the fog, was due to the suppressed spiritual sense of a cultivator when they entered the Full Moon Mountain Range.
Furthermore, the white fog could also devour the spiritual sense of cultivators.
Therefore, they could only observe the fog with their naked eyes.
However, this was not the point. The most important reason they could not discover the fog was that they had not thought of it.
This was not the first time the Tidal Moon had appeared.
Every sect had a relatively complete record of the Tidal Moon.
Before this, there had never been a situation where the fog spread.
Therefore, none of them would especially observe changes in the fog.
They were only staring at the moon hanging above the Full Moon Mountain Range.
When the moon turned into a complete half-moon, it meant that the Tidal Moon had begun.
Before that, they only needed to wait patiently.
While the cultivators were being careless, the fog was spreading faster and faster.
Finally, at midnight, the fog had advanced to a distance of ten kilometres.
And at this distance, it had already completely enveloped the cultivators.
Moreover, because the speed at which the fog spread was too fast, most of the cultivators did not have time to react at all. In the end, they were completely submerged by this strange white fog.
For some reason, the moon in the sky began to develop at an astonishing speed in the direction of half a moon.
As for the fog in the Full Moon Mountain Range, it was rapidly spreading to the surrounding.
From the looks of it, it would not be long before it covered the mortal Empire town closest to the Full Moon Mountain Range.
The Moon Mountain Pass where Lu Yuan was located was the mortal town of the Great Xia Kingdom closest to the Full Moon Mountain Range.
The people outside the Full Moon Mountain Range naturally did not know what was happening then.
Lu Yuan was even more clueless.
After all, it was only today that he first knew about the matters relating to the Full Moon Mountain Range.
The many plans he had set up would not include the Full Moon Mountain Range.
This wasn’t because Lu Yuan was not steady enough, but because there was an information gap.
If he had known the true situation of the Full Moon Mountain in advance, he might have predicted the situation of the fog spreading…
