Yue Jiuzai stood in the middle, unsure which way to go. But after hesitating for half a minute, she decided to go to the left.

"With nothing blocking the way, perhaps this is a good place to go?"

After entering the stone gate, the demonic energy that Yue Jiuzai had sensed before had disappeared. The strangest thing was that she couldn't sense any aura at all here. It was as if no life had ever been here, and there was no trace of life.

Having decided to go to the left, Yue Jiuzai entered the left-hand intersection. The passage was curved and dark, making Yue Jiuzai feel like he was going in circles.

Sure enough, Yue Jiu's intuition was correct; she was indeed going in circles. After walking for a few minutes, she encountered a large rock, stepped over it, and returned to her starting point!

"Holy crap, am I being tricked or am I lost in a maze?"

Because Yue Jiuzai had really gone around in circles, she started to complain. She went up and kicked a big rock at the right-hand intersection, and said angrily, "Are you crazy?! This is such a crappy place, yet it's heavily guarded?"

After kicking the stone, Yue Jiuzai sat down on it. But as soon as she sat down, she felt something was wrong. Why would there be guards guarding an ordinary stone gate? It was obviously not right, so she was certain that there was something wrong with this place.

However, when he entered, he found nothing there, which greatly troubled Yue Jiuzai.

"Am I really seeing a ghost? Or is this place...?"

Yue Jiuzai suddenly stood up. She felt that something was really wrong here. Putting aside the guards outside the stone gate, why would a very ordinary, empty 'basement' need two passages, and even connect them? This was clearly redundant. So why was it built like this? Only the person who came in could find the answer.

After thinking it over and over, Yue Jiuzai finally guessed that she must have overlooked something. Then she walked back to the entrance of the stone gate and looked inside from the direction of the entrance.

At the stone gate, shining a flashlight inside, it was still the same as before—empty and the black pool still smelled terrible.

However, after watching quietly for a few minutes, Yue Jiuzai still sensed something was wrong; the air inside was off!

Although there was still no aura inside, there was still ordinary air. However, after Yue Jiuzai calmed down, she seemed to hear some extremely faint sounds of flowing water!

"Something's not right! Why is there a sound of flowing water here?"

Having already circled the area, Yue Jiuzai was absolutely certain that there was no flowing water here. Apart from a completely stagnant pool of black water, there was no other water, and even the air was extremely dry. How could there be water here? This was clearly illogical!

Just as Yue Jiuzai calmed down and was about to find a water source, she suddenly sensed a different aura. In this place, she seemed to sense a very weak life force!

"No! This place is fake!"

Just as Yue Jiuzai finally noticed the anomaly in this place, she instantly summoned Hellfire and threw it around. In the firelight, she indeed saw something different!

After the Nine Disasters of the Moon saw everything clearly, they understood how they had fallen victim to the curse.

It turned out that he had already fallen into a trap after entering the stone gate. Someone had set up a deception here, and it would be easy to fall into the trap if he relaxed his vigilance even slightly.

This place originally didn't have much yin energy or evil spirits, and with the added illusion, Yue Jiuzai couldn't discover its true nature at all. If she hadn't carefully listened to the sound of flowing water, she still wouldn't have noticed the strangeness of this place.

All that could be seen was that under the burning of hellfire, the last bit of evil energy in the space was burned away, revealing a place resembling a prison cell. Next to the prison cell were two passageways. It turned out that the passageway Yue Jiuzai had just walked through was the one that circled around the prison.

The sound of running water she had just heard was water seeping from a crack in the wall next to the cell.
