Chapter 266 A Blind Cat Catches a Dead Mouse

"Mr. He, things seem a bit unsettled here."

Gu Yunlang pointed to a small hill not far away, which was more like a mound of earth than a hill.

He Sihan also noticed something was wrong. The group walked over and found that the mound of earth was surrounded by wooden stakes, which seemed to be arranged in some kind of layout.

None of them dared to make any rash moves. Gu Yunlang took a picture and sent it to his sister, who was knowledgeable and experienced. She thought it might just be some kind of harmful formation.

Unfortunately, after waiting for a while, there was no response from the other party. He made several more calls, but they were all out of service.

"Whatever kind of formation it is, the evil energy here is so strong, we'll just break it." Guo Fuyun stroked his chin, trying to find a flaw, but just as he was about to step forward, he seemed to be blocked by some invisible force.

"President He."

Sang Ye, dressed in a police uniform, walked over, accompanied by a man dressed as Uncle Ying, who looked quite respectable.

"Hello everyone, I am a fake Taoist priest. I once had a magical duel with Master Gu in the live broadcast room. My surname is Zhang and my given name is Hao. Since receiving guidance from the master, I have also learned some skills. Let me see what's going on?"

Zhang Hao walked over and looked at the shape of the wooden stake. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

"I've got an idea! I'll draw a few talismans and see if I can find a way to fix it!"

To be honest, Zhang Hao's preparations were quite impressive.

The staff quickly provided him with support from behind, and he opened Baidu and found some pictures he had saved before, and started to mimic them.

Everyone: ?

Dude, seriously? This is Yunxi's pick? Are you kidding me? Looks like they've given up on this good-for-nothing.

He Sihan looked into the distance, a sudden pang of pain shooting through his heart. What was wrong?

He looked up at his bracelet; the red bead gleamed, as did the beads on the Gu brothers' wrists.

"Yunxi is in trouble."

At this moment, Gu Yunxi and Lin Guanyue were both severely injured, and their strengths were evenly matched.

"Gu Yunxi, I never expected you to be so resilient, managing to hold on until now."

Lin Guanyue's body was riddled with holes that emitted black smoke. At first, the healing process was very fast, but it became slower and slower over time, and now it has even stopped healing altogether.

He stood on the monster, panting heavily. Lin Guanyue wasn't worried about himself at all; he still had a trump card.

"You old codger, how can I die if you don't die!"

Gu Yunxi glanced behind her; the ship was littered with corpses, and she couldn't tell which side had died.

"Again!"

She touched the phoenix hairpin, and a phoenix flew out, which she landed steadily on.

"Sister Bai Shuang, we're counting on you!"

She once again raised her whip and flew towards Lin Guanyue, the phoenix spitting out fireballs that pelted the monster one after another.

The monster shook itself a few times, and Lin Guanyue laughed loudly. It seemed that his newly acquired pet was quite powerful!

But the thing was all show and no substance; it shrank rapidly and then suddenly disappeared into the sea.

The fireballs slammed into the water one by one, chasing after it. Soon, a series of explosions echoed in the sea, and the thing was instantly killed.

"Old man, your pet seems to be nothing but a useless piece of trash!"

Lin Guanyue shouted and charged forward, and the two started fighting again, sparks flying wherever they went.

"Useless! You've drawn dozens of sketches already, are they even reliable?"

Gu Yunlang stood beside Zhang Hao, intending to protect him.

He thought this good-for-nothing would be like his sister, and he could finish her off in no time.

He took many talismans from his hand and threw them on the hill, but nothing happened.

"Brother, don't rush me. Let me think about it some more. Master Gu did indeed enlighten me in that way back then, but I've been busy these days and haven't been in this line of work for a long time, so I'm a bit rusty."

"Why don't you use blood to draw it? I think it will be more effective."

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes at him. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

This time, he actually succeeded in drawing it. Looking at her masterpiece, Zhang Hao took a beautiful picture and handed it to him.

Gu Yunlang cast a spell and threw the talisman directly into the small hill.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and even darkness descended. The wooden stakes burst into flames, and sure enough, a light could be seen shining above the fire, enveloping the area.

"Something's not right. Why is the evil aura so strong? Could there be something unclean buried down there?"

He Sihan also came over. He felt a slight heat in his wrist. When he looked down, he saw that the red bead had fallen off the red string.

The Gu brothers also sent their six beads flying up the small hill, forming a circle of light, and the malevolent energy visibly diminished.

"This is......."

Wasn't this Yunxi's life-saving charm for them? How did it turn out like this?

Gu Yunlang suddenly remembered his sister's words. He looked ahead and said, "Yunxi said that this bead is a secret weapon, but it also has an important function. It is also the most effective weapon to dispel evil energy."

"So, she had foreseen this day long ago and started planning from that time?" He Sihan felt that he knew far too little about Yunxi.

This strange sight attracted a large crowd, and many cultivators rushed over.

As the wooden stake burned out, unexpected screams and various other sounds erupted, creating a deafening roar.

"There are actually quite a few souls hidden here. If this formation had really broken, we would all have been doomed. Fortunately, these few beads stopped them!"

Zhang Hao was at a loss. Could it be that he had caused trouble?

Guo Fuyun looked at everyone and said, "This barrier was originally created by that vicious Lin Guanyue. If we hadn't discovered it, the people on the shore would have been in danger once the barrier broke."

So we have to thank the young man; he accidentally drew the talisman and ignited this place. My master, however, had the foresight to leave behind these beads, which are just right to suppress these evil spirits. She knew we would find this place. My master is truly righteous!

The sound gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

"Crack!"

It was the sound of the barrier breaking, and even the sound of those beads shattering. A flash of white light, and everyone was forced back a great distance.

When the white light dissipated, everything was quiet. The small hill had vanished in an instant, or rather, it was as if nothing had ever been discovered at all.

He Sihan looked at the red rope; the bead was gone. He knew that what had just happened was not an illusion, but something that had truly occurred.

It's safe here now, but I wonder how Yunxi and the others are doing!

The group then approached the logistics department to request assistance from Shanghai, reasoning that having more people meant a better chance of success.

"This journey will be fraught with danger, and there is no chance of returning. Therefore, you must prepare for the worst."

Officer Luo looked at the vast number of cultivators.

Their eyes were filled with unwavering determination and an unyielding confidence. "If you have elderly people or children at home, please think twice."

"Leader, we've thought it through. If we die in battle, it will be our honor. We're willing to die for our country."

"I would gladly die a thousand deaths!"

"I would gladly die a thousand deaths!"

Officer Luo was also filled with enthusiasm while watching:

"Okay, we will provide you with logistical support and wait for your triumphant return."

Everyone boarded the ship in an orderly fashion. Gu Yunzhou glanced behind him, and Sang Ye silently watched him.

He smiled slightly at the person in front of him, then disappeared into the crowd.
