It was still June 8th and around ten o'clock in the morning .
Old Antique was still conducting class; elsewhere, after taking three days to adjust to the injuries caused by the backlash from the destruction of her spirit clay clone, Jiang Liuyue came out of seclusion earlier than she had planned .
When she stepped out of the apartment basement, the harsh light of the sun shone on her face .
She knew that that bunch of killers on the ranking list were now all looking for her . . . she had to be especially on guard against that One-Inch Gray . Once she was eliminated, all the killers below her on the list would move up one spot .
However, trying to track her down in a sea of people was going to be far from easy .
The basement she had been using for seclusion was in the heart of Jinghua city .
This was an underground carpark, while its innermost section housed a convenience mart that had already been abandoned . When the mart's owner and his sister-in-law had run away with all the money, property management had rented out this space . After checking it out back then, Jiang Liuyue had decided to cultivate in seclusion here, and had directly rented the place by putting down a deposit and fifty years' worth of rent in one go .
This was the perfect plan . Cultivators were very picky when it came to choosing a seclusion spot to cultivate in, and many cultivators who had researched them would choose a "spirit eye . " A spirit eye was where natural spiritual energy converged, and was equivalent to a natural spirit gathering array . It was far more effective than an artificially made spirit gathering array, as it could continually replenish the spiritual energy required when a person cultivated in seclusion .
Cultivators who were even more particular would, apart from looking for spirit eyes, even invite a Taoist diviner to assess the place . . . in short, it had to be a seclusion spot blessed with good feng shui . Once they had settled on one, these cultivators would put the necessary defense measures in place in case they were disturbed while in seclusion .
However, this abandoned convenience mart which Jiang Liuyue had chosen didn't have a spirit eye, nor did it have anything to do with feng shui . . . she couldn't get any more low-key than this, squeezed as she was into this inconspicuous, out-of-the-way nook; absolutely no one would have expected the grand Master of Shadow Stream to hole up in such a small corner .
What she needed to do now was to waste no time in regaining her realm .
. . .
On the outskirts of Jinghua city flowed a river of sewage; all the city's waste water was ultimately channeled here, and then was filtered and purified in a recycling process to be reused once more .
By the time Jiang Liuyue hurried to this place, it was already noon . At this time, it was burning hot in Jinghua city and the river of sewage gave off an unbearably foul odor, so few people would come by here .
"This is the place . . . "
After she had originally taken out the stone ghost mask, she had gotten her younger sister Jiang Liuying to seal it in this river of sewage when she had had the opportunity to do so .
Her turtle-breathing skill in effect, Jiang Liuyue stood in front of this river and stared at it . It stank to high heaven here; if she had come unprepared, she definitely would have been knocked out by the stench, since a cultivator's five senses were far more sensitive than a normal person's .
She raised her hand, and with a hum, spirit light shot forth from the tip of her finger toward the water .
When her younger sister had sealed this stone ghost mask in this river back then, Jiang Liuyue had set up obstruction magic which worked using the same mechanism as for digital red packets 1 ; the seal would be activated after she injected her spirit energy into it .
After she pushed her spirit energy into the river of sewage, the river's initially calm surface instantly started to ripple .
