The five patriarchs of the Shi family stood behind the Shi family head, confronting the five patriarchs of the Mu family. Their strengths were evenly matched, and none of them made the first move.
Meanwhile, at the Shi family's ancestral graves, Dongfang Mian's progress was not as smooth as she had initially imagined.
"I'm exhausted! This Shi family ancestral tomb is just too big. Where exactly is this Poison God Ancestor buried?" Ah Ju was so tired that she stuck out her tongue.
Looking at the simple map drawn by Feng Qianxun in his hand, Dongfang Mian said, "I don't know. Although the location of the Poison God has not changed, the Shi family has made many major changes to the ancestral graves over the years, and the roads in the entire ancestral graves are now completely messed up."
"Then what do we do?" Aju asked, looking at the baby lying quietly in Yan Lin's arms, eyes closed and face ashen.
"The only option now is to go straight ahead, no matter what happens along the way," Dongfang Mian said.
“Okay,” Yan Lin was the first to say.
Dongfang Mian told Yan Lin to take good care of the baby, then held Aju and Ahua in her arms, found the right direction, and walked towards a place that seemed to be empty.
After taking a few steps, the environment around Dongfang Mian had completely changed. They now seemed to be on a bustling street, with crowds of people and children chasing and playing, making them almost forget that they should have been in the cold and damp ancestral graveyard.
"Is this an illusion?" Aju asked.
Dongfang Mian nodded. "This is not a simple illusion."
If it's a simple illusion, with Dongfang Mian's Supreme Blood Pulse Strike and Aju's Ancient Realm strength, even if it takes a little time, they should be able to break the illusion directly.
However, Dongfang Mian just tested this illusion in an empty alley. The attack hit the air and created ripples, but it didn't have any effect on the illusion.
"It seems we must complete the illusion's mission and find its weakness in order to break the formation," Dongfang Mian said.
"We must separate now. Remember, we must find something that is different from the others. That will be the key to breaking the formation. Don't overlook anything, whether it's a strange person or a strange object."
After giving instructions, they split up and soon, Ah Ju was the first to discover something strange. Everyone gathered in a restaurant.
"A-Mian, come quick! This is the man!" A-Ju said, pointing to a man drinking by the window.
“It doesn’t look any different,” Dongfang Mian said.
“Wait here,” Aju said, then jumped onto the man’s table and started talking to him, “Hello, I’m Aju.”
"If you ask where it comes from, find the golden hairpin to guide you," the man said.
"Wow~ You even noticed that?" Dongfang Mian gave Aju a big compliment.
Ah Ju said with satisfaction, "I've spoken to everyone in this restaurant, and everyone else told me to get lost, but he was the only one who said something else to me."
Dongfang Mian couldn't help but pat Aju's head and said, "Don't worry, you'll be the biggest hero once the baby wakes up."
However, everyone soon found themselves in a new predicament: where was the gold hairpin? There wasn't even a clear design, and gold hairpins were everywhere, weren't they?
Helpless, Dongfang Mian said, "There's no other way. Let's split up and show him all the gold hairpins we found."
So the group separated again, but this time it was obviously not as smooth as last time. Dongfang Mian discovered that when she took the golden hairpin in the illusion, she would be attacked by the hairpin's owner. Fortunately, the people in the illusion were all very weak, and even Yan Lin could not defeat them. However, there were too many people, and time was being wasted if this continued.
