Seeing their speechless expression, Nan Yuanman chuckled and said, "Since you two know so much about this formation, you must have a way to break it, right?"
"Why don't we just break the formation before it's fully set up?"
Zhong Xueliu remained silent.
Nan Yichen remained silent.
The two of them watched Nan Yuanman quietly.
A question mark slowly appeared on Nan Yuanman's fluffy little head. Realizing something, she exclaimed incredulously, "Don't tell me you don't have a way to break the formation."
The two nodded emphatically in unison.
Zhong Xueliu: "Onmyoji in R country are very rare. As far as I know, there are only ten Onmyoji in the whole country. Each of them is stronger than a Celestial Master. They have an agreement with Xia country that they cannot take the initiative to attack Xia country. Otherwise, it will be considered a provocation, and Xia country has the right to retaliate against them."
"So we rarely encounter Onmyoji; most of the time we encounter captured shrine maidens. This formation is the second time I've seen it, so..."
These younger generation really didn't know how to break the formation.
Nan Yichen looked somewhat annoyed; he should have sent Tan Yufan instead.
Although he has a sharp tongue, his knowledge of formations is deeper than they realize.
"The most troublesome thing is that this formation is alive. The person behind it set up the formation using living beings, and we cannot eliminate the living beings in a short time."
Therefore, even if the pattern on the array's core is destroyed, as long as one of the red spiders is still alive, the destroyed pattern can be quickly repaired.
Zhong Xueliu suddenly realized why the other party wanted to take their souls away first when they entered Batang Village.
They are stalling for time.
After all, if she and Nan Yichen were sober, the trickery in the pattern would be easy to spot.
Setting up the formation will not be too easy.
“This is beyond our ability to handle. Let’s ask the bureau for help,” Nan Yichen said.
“But even if they come, it will be too late.” Nan Yuanman looked at the spider web with its varied patterns, sighed deeply, and sat down heavily on a flat rock. “Fine, I’ll do it. You adults are really too unreliable!”
She rummaged through her small handbag: "This isn't it, this isn't it either, um... I've got it."
Nan Yuanman pulled a thick book with yellowed pages from her small handbag.
Zhong Xueliu curiously leaned closer to take a look, and saw several large characters on the cover: Complete Guide to Formations.
Zhong Xueliu: "?"
"You want to flip through the book now?"
"Hmm." Nan Yuanman flipped through the Complete Book of Formations very quickly, almost one page per second, as if she were just flipping through it for fun, rather than seriously turning the pages.
Nan Yichen: "Can you see the contents like this?"
Nan Yuanman: "You don't need to look at the content, just look at the picture."
While Nanmanyuan was diligently flipping through a book, Bai Wenying, who was enthusiastically digging for wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain, paused slightly. The scene before her eyes suddenly distorted, and she looked somewhat dazed.
A clear, childlike voice rang in her ears: "Bai Wenying... I order you... to kill her... to kill Nan Yuanman..."
Bai Wenying's mind became extremely chaotic, and a single thought surfaced in her mind—to kill Nan Yuanman.
Killed... Nanmanyuan.
Bai Wenying's eyes gradually became lifeless. She tightly gripped the wild vegetables in her hand, turned around, and floated towards where Nan Yuanman was.
At the same time, in the forest behind Batang Village, Jiang Zhen sensed the gradually perfecting array and stretched her limbs to relax: "It's almost done."
"Come on, come with me, let's enjoy that delightful revelry."
Jiang Zhen slightly beckoned with her fingers, and Jiang Hengzhi, Jiang Chuyun, and Jiang Lixuan, who stood behind her like three guardian deities, slowly began to move.
Three large men followed her expressionlessly, walking step by step towards Batang Village.

Nan Yuanman flipped through the book for a long time but couldn't find a picture of this formation in the book. Unconvinced, she continued flipping through the book.
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen stayed by her side. The two of them were not idle either. One was killing the little spider, and the other was holding up his phone to send a message for help to headquarters.
Strangely, even though her phone signal appeared to be at full strength, she couldn't send any messages.
It was as if something had isolated them from the outside world.
Zhong Xueliu's heart sank slightly. She looked at Nan Yuanman and typed a message, then switched to voice: "Yuanman, haven't you found it yet?"
Nan Yuanman: "It'll be here soon!"
She paused slightly as she turned the page, then suddenly looked up behind her and spotted Bai Wenying floating towards her. "Huh? Didn't you go out to dig for wild vegetables? Why are you back so soon?"
Bai Wenying smiled gently as always: "I suddenly remembered that I had something I hadn't told you, so I came back to find you."
Nan Yuanman: "What is it?"
“It’s just…” Bai Wenying had already approached Nan Yuanman, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her chest hard.
Nan Yuanman's pupils suddenly contracted, and Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen were shocked.
"Quack quack!"
"Moo!"
Unable to dodge in time, Nan Yuanman's body flew backward like a kite and crashed heavily to the ground.
Nan Yuanman struggled to her feet, spitting water onto the ground. When she looked up, she quickly popped something into her mouth, blood trickling from the corner of her lips. She stared at Bai Wenying in disbelief, asking, "Why...why...Mom?"
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen rushed to Nan Yuanman's side, helped her up from the ground, and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"
Nan Yuanman did not answer, but stared intently at Bai Wenying.
Bai Wenying stood there expressionless, slowly withdrawing her hand without speaking. Suddenly, an exceptionally arrogant laugh rang out: "Hahahaha! Why? You actually ask why? I thought you were so amazing! I didn't expect you to be as stupid as an ordinary person!"
Bai Wenying stepped slightly to the side, lowering her head meekly, as Jiang Zhen led the three men from the Jiang family out slowly.
She stood next to Bai Wenying, looking at Nan Yuanman with disdain: "Of course it's because she's not your mother at all!"
"She's just a puppet I created. Only someone as stupid as you would believe that she's really your mother."
Nan Yuanman's face showed anger at being deceived. She clutched her chest, staggered to her feet, and glared at Jiang Zhen: "Jiang Xinxin! You! You are so wicked!"
"What Jiang Xinxin? I, Jiang Zhen, am not that kind of naive and stupid fool."
Jiang Zhen watched Nan Yuanman's disheveled state, and the frustration that had been building up in her heart since sensing her master's injury finally dissipated somewhat.
She smirked and pointed at Nan Yuanman: "Go, kill her for me."
Bai Wenying answered obediently, "Yes."
She shifted her feet slightly, as if heading towards Nan Yuanman, but in the next second, she suddenly turned around and kicked Jiang Zhen hard.
Jiang Zhen: "!!!"
