Hidden Master: starting by canceling ten marriage proposals

"Yes!"

The Heretic Feng Shui Masters in charge of the various provinces all followed suit, waving their arms and shouting with excitement.

Exhilaration was evident on all their faces.

Decades of planning...

Were finally about to come to fruition!

The man took a deep breath and continued, "Everyone, pass along the order. All Heretic Feng Shui Masters, immediately bring your respective array items, and prepare to set up the array!"

"Our time is limited for fear of any changes. We must complete the Feng Shui Array before this time tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

People scattered like birds and beasts, all starting to go about their tasks as the man had instructed.

...

Yin Mansion.

Yin Tian was dressed in clothing he had never worn before.

Underneath, he wore a straight-hemmed robe, an overcoat of silk armor with split tails, a Ge Tiara on his head, and a feather fan in his hand.

The Yin Tian of this moment appeared vastly different from his usual self.

To anyone who saw him now, only one ancient figure would come to mind in their thoughts.

Zhuge Liang!

Below Yin Tian's feet,

Seven white brilliants flickered with bright light.

And surrounding these seven white brilliants were another forty-nine smaller lamps.

Fifty-six lamps in total bathed the entire courtyard in bright illumination.

If there were a person skilled in arcane arts present, they would undoubtedly be shocked to find that these fifty-six lamps corresponded with fifty-six stars in the heavens!

In ancient times, Zhuge Liang laid out the Seven-Star Prayer, wildly attempting to borrow twelve more years of life from Heaven, but his plan was thwarted by the rashness of Wei Yan, an incident much lamented by people through the ages.

And today, the method laid out by Yin Tian was none other than the Seven-Star Prayer!

Only, the Seven-Star Prayer that Yin Tian was performing was the Reversed Seven-Star Prayer!

The reason he did this was to obscure Fate's decree!

By using this arcane method, he forcibly disrupted the King's Fortune, making it seem to outsiders like the King's Fortune had dissipated.

Even the planet that symbolized the Imperial Star grew dim and lackluster, deepening the Heretic Feng Shui Masters' belief in the occurrence.

Yin Tian moved in strange steps, murmuring incantations.

"Life lies in the Qiankun Cauldron, craft depends on the cycle of the sun and moon. Hidden in the Eight Trigrams' vital energy, the Primordial Spirit lies concealed within the light of the Five Elements…"

Suddenly, a wild wind howled, and the fifty-six bright lamps at Yin Tian's feet unexpectedly extinguished at the same moment!

Yet a look of surprise and delight appeared on Yin Tian's face.

He knew that his Reversed Seven-Star Prayer had taken effect!

For the next three days, no one would be able to discern the King's Fortune.

As long as those Heretic Feng Shui Masters weren't fools, they would certainly not pass up this opportunity!

"Whew…"

Yin Tian felt a darkness before his eyes.

Using this Reversed Seven-Star Prayer had also taken a massive toll on him.

He could even clearly feel that his normally steady Vital Energy was suddenly threatening to break free like a bursting dam!

"Had I known... I wouldn't have taken on this task…"

Yin Tian let out a wry chuckle, but his body swayed slightly.

He stepped away from the array of lamps, intending to rest on the recliner, but nearly lost his balance.

Fortunately, a pair of hands reached out to steady him.

Yin Tian quickly focused on his Breathing Skill, feeling somewhat better, and then he turned to look.

It was Su Qinwei who had reached out her hands to support him.

"How did you get here?"

Yin Tian gave a gentle smile towards Su Qinwei.

"What have you done to yourself?"

Su Qinwei cast a reproachful glance towards Yin Tian, then turned to look at the array of lamps on the ground.

"Just dealing with some things…"

Yin Tian spoke slowly, leaning on Su Qinwei as he walked to the recliner and lay down.

With his eyes slightly open, he said, "Tell the other sisters not to touch any of these lamps."

"Okay, I got it."

Su Qinwei nodded, taking Yin Tian's admonition to heart.

"You should go to sleep now, I still have plenty to do…"

"You're like this and you still have work to do?"

"No choice…"

Yin Tian shrugged with a bitter smile, "In order to settle things once and for all, this is what I have to do…"

Su Qinwei gazed deeply at Yin Tian, not knowing exactly what he was up to, but seeing the state he was in, she knew he must be planning something significant.

"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer."

Su Qinwei stood up and walked towards the back courtyard.

As he watched Su Qinwei depart, Yin Tian then took out his phone, intending to call Li Chang, but suddenly his phone rang.

The call was, unexpectedly, from Li Chang!

"Hello?"

"Master, they've made a move!"

Li Chang's voice came through the receiver, "Those Heretic Feng Shui Masters have all started to act, choosing the same places as before to bury items underground!"

"I know, keep an eye on them and contact Number Two. Tell him to send out the Shadow Palace Assassins to join up with your men," Yin Tian instructed calmly, a flicker of murderous intent passing through his eyes, "and then wait for my command. As soon as I give the order, kill all of those people on the periphery without exception!"

Hearing Yin Tian's words, Li Chang shuddered involuntarily.

That was hundreds of people!

Yin Tian was planning to spare none!

But...

Yin Tian was the Master of the Dragon Hall.

Li Chang did not need to try to understand the thoughts in Yin Tian's heart.

All he needed to do was to follow orders!
