Chapter 407

Lucius pulled no punches as he said to Evan, "You guys should know when to quit. If your sect hadn't barged in to steal Valerie's job, the geomancy array might have already been completed by now! My home is not a training ground for students. "Like you said, the next favorable day is nine days from now. If we miss these last 20 minutes, I doubt your sect can shoulder the consequences." Evan was stumped. Even if Lucius gave them the remaining time, there was no way he could find a solution within such a short window. As noon approached, the murderous energy became so intense that everyone in the courtyard began to feel physically unwell. The air was stifling and hot, and the lack of circulation made their chests tighten with unease. Lucius, who was born blessed, suffered the least. Silas and Keane had the minor talismans Valerie had given them, so they were mostly unaffected for the time being. Kieran was covered from head to toe in artifacts, so he wasn't afraid of anything evil.
