Inside the library, the water film had disappeared at this time, and all that was left was the ice wall that Yan Baibai had built earlier to block the heat from outside. However, the ice wall was also constantly melting, and it looked like it would not last much longer.

Sure enough, a big hole soon appeared at the top of the ice wall where it was cracked by the pillar, and heat and smoke poured in in large quantities. At this time, the people inside the ice wall avoided the center and squatted down close to the ice wall.

Inside the ice wall, no one spoke except for the occasional coughing and spitting.

The smoke and dust became more and more, and even Yan Baibai couldn't help but squint her eyes, and she began to feel anxious. Logically, her master and Uncle Lejian should have arrived long ago. Could something unexpected have happened again?

"System, besides the male protagonist of the mission, can you check the situation of others?" Yan Baibai asked the system.

"Host, you're wondering if your Master and the others have arrived yet, right?" The system quickly flipped through the images on its screen and quickly found the information it was looking for. "Host, bad news! Your Master and the others have been targeted by someone else. They're temporarily stuck and can't come."

Yan Baibai was completely panicked now. The reason she hadn't panicked from the beginning until now was mainly because she knew that her master would rush over soon after receiving her message. As long as they broke the formation and waited for everyone in the library to recover, a small fire wouldn't threaten anyone's lives at all. But now...

"Senior Sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Wuxiu was now paying attention to Yan Baibai. He quickly noticed the change in her expression and asked worriedly, "Senior Sister, are you hurt anywhere?"

Lu Wuxiu looked around at Yan Baibai anxiously, trying to find out where she was injured.

"Junior brother, I'm fine." Yan Baibai continued, "Before I came in, I clearly sent a message to Master and the others, but Master and the others haven't come yet. I'm just a little worried."

Yan Baibai's words were also heard by her teammates around her, and their hearts sank at this moment. They had been trapped for so long, and now everyone's magic power was suppressed. In this situation, they could only wait for rescue from outside. But now, Yan Baibai's words undoubtedly interrupted everyone's expectations.

The situation inside the ice wall became more and more serious. Yan Baibai understood that they had to do something at this time, otherwise they would really die here today.

"Hey, you guys, it's already this late, and you still don't plan to escape?" Yan Baibai raised her voice, her eyes fixed on the group of ordinary people not far from her.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to Yan Baibai, and they followed her gaze into the crowd. What appeared before their eyes were three ordinary people huddled together in plain brown linen clothing. Judging by their attire, it was clear they knew each other.

The three of them had ordinary features, the kind you'd miss in a crowd, the kind you'd easily forget after meeting them once. They were honest, hardworking characters. Seeing everyone's gaze focused on them, the panic on their faces confirmed this.

"Fairy, we don't know what you mean." One of them said tremblingly, not even daring to raise his head.

"Hehe, stop pretending. I'm telling you the truth. There's no one outside putting out the fire. A fire like this cannot be put out without monks." Yan Baibai said concisely, hoping that these people could recognize the current situation.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. These three are the handymen of our library. They are usually responsible for cleaning and repairing the damage inside the library. They have been working here for almost half a year." This time it was the cultivator who was specifically responsible for guarding the library who stood up and spoke.

"Excuse me, what should I address you?" The other person was obviously much older than herself, so Yan Baibai asked politely.

"My last name is Yang Jin. I'm a casual cultivator, and I'm specifically responsible for guarding this library, but... Alas!" Seeing that Yan Baibai, who had a much higher cultivation level than him, was so polite to him, Yang Jin also gave his name.

"Fellow Daoist Yang, I've been observing since I came in. Apparently, this fire started from outside, but I only realized after I came in that it spread so quickly. It's obvious that the defensive formation inside the library was breached by someone from within." The situation was critical, and Yan Baibai spoke quickly. "And I confirmed this when I activated the water film formation just now. Although the person who answered my question deliberately lowered his voice, I could still tell he was the one who had been voicing the loudest criticism of the cultivators in the crowd."

Yan Baibai smiled and continued, "Also, although you guys have good acting skills, you were the calmest among a group of people who were already desperately waiting for death. In other words, you knew you wouldn't die. When I told you that no one was outside to put out the fire, you panicked for a moment, but then immediately calmed down again. In other words, even if no one was outside to put out the fire, you could still escape, right?"

After Yan Baibai finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to the three people. At this time, sweat began to appear on the foreheads of the three people.

"You, you monk, you don't have the ability to save us all, and now you're looking for a scapegoat?" One of the three looked around nervously. He looked at the ordinary people around him, wiped his eyes hard, and said in a tearful voice, "Everyone, don't be fooled by this monk. I have never done such a thing!"

The two people beside him also nodded. Remember that expression. If Yan Baibai hadn't been secretly observing them, they would have really believed what they said.
