Wang Suizhi frowned and looked at the kneeling child and said in a low voice: "Since you have already worshipped the master, how can you just leave? You are betraying the master! Besides, where are you going to go without a father or a mother?"

The child choked up and said, "You bullied me because I have no parents. You chose me and a dozen beggars to be your disciples, but why did they all get sick one after another and die of emaciated bodies? What master? I think it's the White Bone Demon who sucks human blood!"

After hearing the child's rebellious words, Wang Suizhi was furious at first, but finally helpless. He took out a bag from his arms, handed it to the child and said, "In that case, I won't force you to stay. Here are some snacks for you to use on the road. Go to the northeast. There is good fortune there. Although you won't become rich, it will be enough for you to have a good meal..."

The little boy was so grateful that he ran away with his money bag.

Wang Suizhi stood in the yard for a long time, sighing at the lonely moon, but when he turned around, he saw Xue Ranran standing in the corner. He was stunned, then politely clasped his fists and prepared to turn around and leave.

Ran Ran couldn't help but ask, "Since you clearly know that your master is doing something wrong, why don't you leave and help him?"

Wang Suizhi frowned and said, "How can I allow you to slander my teacher?"

Ran Ran said, "In fact, you already have the answer in your heart, but you just don't want to believe it. Although the master is great, if you do something wrong and you just give in, aren't you helping the evildoer?"

Wang Suizhi asked hesitantly, "Miss Xue, what do you mean?"

Xue Ranran said: "When you were recruiting children at the border, you chose only children born in the most yin month. I wondered why you were so particular about birthdays. Today, when I saw the children following Master Mu, they all looked empty and weak, while Master Mu looked radiant. I suddenly realized that she had practiced the magic method of replenishing..."

"Shut up! You're talking nonsense! How could my master do such a thing?" Wang Suizhi was angry and anxious. He was even more afraid of disturbing others, so he could only suppress his voice and growl.

Ranran let out a breath slowly. If she hadn't discovered that Su Yishui had been breathing air into her, she might not have thought of this.

It's just that both she and Mu Ranwu were fruits that fell from the reincarnation tree. Although Mu Ranwu used reincarnation to steal her cultivation ability, after she had consumed her energy in the palace, her internal deficiency should have been revealed.

Mu Ranwu doesn't have someone like Su Yishui by her side to support her, so how can she rely on to get through the difficulties?

So tonight, after she eavesdropped on Wang Suizhi and the little boy's conversation, she immediately understood everything.

After seeing Wang Suizhi let the little boy go, Ranran felt that Wang Suizhi had a good character. She didn't want him to follow Mu Ranwu to do bad things again, so she deliberately gave him some advice.

"Whether she did it or not, don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Ran Ran said softly after hearing her question.

Wang Suizhi was speechless for a moment and could not say anything.

Of course he also realized that something was wrong. Although the children he found were a little thin at first due to hunger, they were all healthy and strong children.

However, after studying with the master, the gifted children fell ill one after another, as if they had been drained of energy. When they could no longer hold on, the master ordered them to be sent away, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive afterwards.

Wang Suizhi couldn't sleep these days. Once he fell asleep, he would imagine the empty eyes of those children looking at him when they were sent away, and then he would wake up in a cold sweat.

But he couldn't tell these words to other classmates.

After all, the rebirth of the mentor was a miracle that everyone had been waiting for for a long time, and if he said even a word about it, it would be a heinous crime.

Now after hearing Xue Ranran's words, he suddenly felt enlightened: "If... I mean if it's true, what do you think I should do?"

Ran Ran looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. Perhaps twenty years ago, when he was still a teenager, he had also asked himself questions in such confusion.

"Since you think it's inappropriate, why don't you just leave..."

Wang Suizhi sighed and said, "You don't know, some people came to my master's side... I can't leave even if I want to..."

Thinking of the two people with solemn expressions who fought with the master during the day, Ranran was also very curious, who were they?

The relationship between Mu Ranwu and Su Yu is delicate now, and she is not comfortable letting Su Yu's people stay by her side. If they are not from the Alien House, could they be from Chimen?

But at this moment, the sound of a child crying seemed to be heard from the other side of the inn. It turned out that when Mu Ranwu wanted to practice martial arts, he found that the child was missing, so he sent people to search for him. The escaped child did not go far before he was caught by an expressionless servant.

After hearing the child's cries, Wang Suizhi's body was shaking slightly. It was not because he was afraid of being punished by his master, but because he really felt that he had accidentally done something bad that should be punished by heaven and earth.

Ran Ran took out a few talismans from his waist and handed them to Wang Suizhi. Then, using a secret voice transmission that only Wang Suizhi could hear, he said, "These are invisibility talismans. If you really want to leave, please take the remaining children and General Qin with you. He is too honest and doesn't even know he is being used. You can get him drunk, then put a talisman on each of you and hide it in the wine jar behind the inn... This talisman can hide your aura, and the wine jar has a strong smell, which makes it easier to hide people... Don't fall out with Master Mu. Now she has a strange man helping her, and you are no match for her..."

After Wang Suizhi received it, he gritted his teeth and seemed to be determined to trust this kind-looking girl once. He didn't know why, but after years of doing business and meeting countless people, he felt that this girl named Xue Ranran was trustworthy.

At this time, Wang Suizhi suddenly said to Xue Ranran: "Miss, if you ask me about your fortune, your fortune is in the north. If you go there tomorrow, you will definitely make a fortune..."

As they were talking, a hoarse voice came from the other side of the courtyard: "Ms. Xue, you are so elegant. Why are you looking for my disciple in the middle of the night to ask about money? Can't you talk about it during the day?"

Mu Ranwu appeared in the courtyard with a hoarse voice and a sneer on his face.

Because her neck was pinched by Su Yishui, Mu Ranwu did not meditate on time today and slept sleepily. When she woke up, she could not find the boy she had just raised. She had absorbed the boy for several days, so she immediately felt that he had left the inn.

When Mu Ranwu was about to teach the runaway boy a lesson, she passed by here and happened to hear Wang Suizhi's words. It seemed that Xue Ranran was asking about wealth.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ranwu stepped out immediately to stop it. Now that Wang Suizhi is her disciple who is the god of wealth, why should she let Xue Ranran get rich again?

And when did Wang Suizhi become so close to Xue Ranran? Did Wang Suizhi recognize that he was a fake?

Mu Ranwu needs money for many purposes now, and cannot leave Wang Suizhi, who is rich in money, for the time being. So she will not let Xue Ranran seduce Wang Suizhi.

In the past, Xue Ranran would never confront Master Mu head-on. But after learning that she had deliberately impersonated someone else and done something shady and dirty, Ranran looked at her with cold eyes.

She looked at the several pale-faced children following behind Mu Qingge. These children might not be able to hold on for much longer.

Thinking of this, she looked at Wang Suizhi again and said to him in secret: "You are the one who brought these children here. If you have a conscience, you must find a way to save them. If you need help in the future, you can come to Xishan to find me... In fact, have you ever thought about whether your current master is really Mu Qingge?"

After conveying these secret words, Xue Ranran turned to Mu Ranwu and said, "I happened to run into Mr. Wang here, so I chatted with him for a while. Master Mu, don't you mind?"

Mu Ranwu was about to speak when she found Su Yishui also appeared in the yard. She was so scared that she took a few steps back and said to Wang Suizhi, "Why don't you catch up quickly!"

Wang Suizhi seemed to be surprised by Xue Ranran's last words. He tried hard to remain calm, glanced at Xue Ranran suspiciously, and then followed Mu Ranwu away.

Xue Ranran sighed. Even if she said now that she was Mu Qingge, Wang Suizhi would not believe it. Instead, he would think that she was sent by Su Yishui to alienate the master and disciple.

So she could only give Wang Suizhi a hint and see if he could sort out the mess. However, the children really couldn't wait any longer.

Anyway, they all have to go into the mountains tomorrow. Even if Mu Ranwu finds out that the person is missing, she can't spare the energy to chase him for the time being. I hope Wang Suizhi can use those talismans to cleverly escape Mu Ranwu's arrangement.

After Mu Ranwu and the others have left.

Su Yishui walked slowly in front of her, looked down at her, narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked: "I attacked your sister in broad daylight, so you are unhappy?"

She refused to go back to her room and kept wandering around in the yard. Was she angry with him?

Ran Ran was stunned, and immediately remembered that he had always thought that he was Mu Qingge's sister Mu Ranwu.

Thinking of this, she said, "She is not my sister. I have never had a sister in my life. Even if she is my biological sister, she should bear the consequences if she does something wrong..."

Su Yishui snorted coldly when he heard this: "She loved you the most in her previous life and always protected you. Now you have completely abandoned her."

Although he had always disliked Mu Qingge doting on her baby-like and incompetent sister, her sudden and heartless behavior seemed rather heartless.

After hearing this, Ran Ran sighed and said, "I was wrong after all. Is it true that dying once can't make up for the debt of my previous life?"

Maybe in her previous life, she spoiled Mu Ranwu too much, which made her greedy more and more, and finally she even wanted to replace herself.

She did something wrong and paid the price with her death. In this life, she has never developed any sisterly feelings with Mu Ranwu, and naturally she doesn't want to shelter this extremely selfish and vicious woman anymore.

But when Su Yishui heard these words, he felt something else. He felt that he was making things too difficult for this little girl. She knew nothing in her life, and he was being too harsh by blaming her.

The next morning, when everyone in the inn was getting ready to leave, Mu Ranwu discovered that Wang Suizhi, Qin Xuanjiu, and the children she had been using to nourish her energy were all missing.

The inn was full of guests but they could not find any trace of them. When they asked the remaining people, they only said that they saw Wang Suizhi and General Qin drinking together last night, and they knew nothing else.

Mu Ranwu's face flushed with anger, and she glared at Xue Ranran fiercely. She was now absolutely certain that the chess pieces that she used so well were missing, and it was Xue Ranran who did it!

Xue Ranran did not avoid her gaze, but just stared at her coldly.

Mu Ranwu felt her heart twitch violently, and her neck shrank instinctively: Damn it! The look in that damn girl's eyes was exactly the same as when her sister glared at her in her previous life! She instinctively wanted to shrink her neck and admit her mistake... This feeling of being suppressed for a long time is really crazy.

Compared to my perfect sister, no matter what I do, it's wrong. I'm not as perfect as her!

Mu Ranwu bit her lips hard and could only put this matter aside for the time being. Once she found the fire to quench gold, that would be her time to become famous throughout the world.

When the time comes, she will not let any of those who betrayed her master go!

The wasteland around the Scarlet Flame Mountain had cooled down after a night of walking, and it was only in the morning that people could walk.

Before leaving, Ran Ran was stopped by the old man at the door of the inn: "Little girl, your shoes are broken, and the road in the wilderness is not easy to walk on. I will give you a pair of straw sandals."

Ran Ran looked down and saw that the shoes on her feet were worn open. This place is vast and sparsely populated, so it is really inconvenient to buy new shoes.

After thanking the old man, she took out some silver from her pocket and said, "I'll buy a few more pairs so that the master's shoes won't get worn out."

The old man smiled, revealing his yellow teeth: "I only made two pairs. You can take the other pair. It's free. I'll just give it to you as a gift."

Ran Ran sniffed, paused, then smiled and said, "Thank you, old man."

The old man lowered his head and said calmly: "I still advise you not to go and die. The road ahead is not easy..."

Ranran was about to say something else, but the old man picked up the bamboo basket and prepared to go to the wasteland in the backyard to cut the grass.

When Qiu Xier came over, she saw Ran Ran looking at the old man's back, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Ran Ran thought thoughtfully: "I seem to have seen this old man somewhere..."

Qiu Xier also looked over, but did not find anything unusual about the old man. He looked just like any other old man you would see in the mountains.

The wasteland leading to the Red Flame Mountain gradually became lively, and Wei Yan of the Red Gate was also informed early in the morning.

He didn't care at all about the people coming to challenge him.

The Demonic Red Gate took root here. In addition to the fire properties that benefited cultivation, the fact that this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack also played a big role.

After he plotted against Su Yishui at the border, he didn't know how effective the soul-cleansing talisman was. However, when his spies in the town found out that Zeng Yi had taken Xue Ranran away from Su Yishui, he knew that the talisman had worked.

Since Su Yishui has forgotten his love for Mu Qingge, he naturally won't have any special feelings for Xue Ranran anymore.

Xue Ranran must be disheartened after being toyed with and abandoned by her master. According to Wei Yan's thoughts, he was prepared to visit her when he had time. If nothing unexpected happened, he would bring Xue Ranran back to Chimen.

Unfortunately, when he finished his affairs and went to look for her, Xue Ranran had already returned to Xishan with Su Yishui. Even her parents and Zeng Yi had disappeared without a trace.

Wei Yan knew that Su Yishui was recruiting soldiers and horses, and among the new disciples there were actually descendants of his master Shen Wen.

And he found Xue Ranran, it seems that he also wanted to take back his Jindan. Wei Yan felt that Xue Ranran was a shrewd girl, and she would definitely find a way to save her life, but it was okay, after Su Yishui broke her heart, she would understand who was caring.

When Wei Yan heard that they were gathering at the inn on the edge of the Red Flame Mountain wilderness, he was not too panicked. He just sneered and said, "If they want to enter my Red Gate to find the Gold Tempering Fire, they have to ask me, the master, if I am willing!"

But since they were already here, it would be a violation of hospitality if he didn't treat them with all his heart.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Come here, set up the Five Evils Maze, and also help our guests relax their muscles!"

As for Xue Ranran, he would of course carefully prepare a gift for her, hoping that after she recognized the true character of Su Yishui, the hypocritical gentleman, she would be able to discover the good points of Wei Yan, the real villain...

Furthermore, when the few people in the inn arrived at the foot of the Red Flame Mountain in batches, no disciples from the Red Sect came to stop them.

But the closer we got to the Red Flame Mountain, the temperature began to rise.

Ran Ran felt her feet were getting hot again, so she took off her worn-out shoes and put on the straw sandals that the old man had given her. When she put them on, they were the right size. There seemed to be some mint in them, so her feet felt cool and comfortable.

When she was about to ask Su Yishui if he wanted to change, she found that he seemed to be staring ahead.

When he looked forward along the line of sight, the desert sand dissipated and five giant eggs like drums appeared.

If you look closely, you can see that the five rectangular eggs are covered with dust that has been blown away by the wind. There are intricate patterns carved on the eggs, and they look very old.

When the elders of the three major sects who were walking in the front saw the pattern on the egg clearly, their faces changed drastically and they whispered, "Oh no! These giant eggs... could they be the Five Evils?"

The wasteland under the Red Flame Mountain was the battlefield where Duntian and the Human Demon King fought. It is said that the Human Demon King gathered the five evil creatures to form a formation in an attempt to trap Duntian.

Later, it was Duntian's wife Rong Yao who used her singing voice transformed into true energy to guide and awaken Duntian in time, allowing him to break out of the encirclement.

Although the Human Demon King was killed in the end, Duntian had already completed his enlightenment when he abandoned his wife and children, and ascended to heaven on the spot, so the maze was also preserved intact.

After all, it was a long time ago, and even the three major sects were vague in their discussions of the Five Evils. However, the patterns on the eggshells can be found in the classics of all major sects of cultivation.

The five evil spirits are the giant mosquito, the golden-armored gate bug, the human-faced flea, the ghost baby, and the mirage. Each evil spirit is the evil spirit raised by the human demon king in the past. After being sealed in the stone egg, it will not be resolved for a hundred years.

Just when everyone was in doubt, a sad and eerie flute sound rang out, piercing people's eardrums and causing pain. Five giant eggs slowly floated up, and thick fog slowly floated out from the cracks of the stone eggs and condensed into a formation.

At this time, Gao Sheng, an elder of the Jiuhua Sect, shouted, "Your Excellency Wei, we are here to ask for a favor. Why did you use such a large force to welcome us?"

A strange laugh came from the rocky caves of the Red Flame Mountain: "The elders have entertained me many times in the past. Today, I finally waited for the arrival of the great masters. If I don't treat them with more respect, wouldn't it be unfair to you? Please try your best. Those who can pass through this Five Evils Maze will be treated to golden cups and fine wine!"

After that, there was no more sound.

An elder of the Feiyun Sect said: "The formation is about to be set up. The Five Evils are at their lowest defense right now. We each choose a giant egg and attack at the same time. If we can break them, we will definitely be able to break through the maze!"

After saying that, he pointed his finger, and a beam of blazing fire first blasted towards a giant egg in the air. Others also took action one after another, and for a moment, magic flew everywhere, and fire, water waves, ice and frost appeared at the same time, making the scene very spectacular.

Seeing everyone attacking the dome, the flute sound suddenly became urgent, and the already unpleasant sound became even more like the cry of a dying crow.

The domes continued to rise, and when they reached a certain height, they each moved in the air along a unique trajectory, and then exploded with a bang, and a shocking murderous aura surged towards everyone like a strong wind and huge waves.

Just like a pot of fragrant soup turned into black soup instantly after being poured with pitch-black ink, the area was instantly filled with evil spirits that surrounded everyone.

After everyone resisted the impact of the evil spirit, they saw five huge evil spirit doors appear at the location of the original five domes. Everyone knew that they had to enter the formation and break the eye of the formation in order to break the formation.

At this point, it all depends on luck, and thinking that they have broken into the same formation that the Great Shield Sky broke into at the beginning, everyone is eager to try and want to become famous in one battle.

Some people even took out a Feng Shui compass and remotely sensed which door had the least evil energy, and then entered that door. Because every formation has a life gate, if you are lucky enough to enter the life gate, the chance of escaping successfully will be higher.

Yue Sheng's eyes were fixed on Lao Feng from the Alien House.

He knew that Lao Feng's gloomy eyes were very powerful, so he decided to follow Lao Feng wherever he went.

After examining the five entrances, Lao Feng decided to enter the one in the west. Just as Yue Sheng thought. Lao Feng's eyes could see through the fog. The other doors were filled with dark evil spirits, but the evil spirit in the west was the lightest. So Lao Feng led the people from the Alien House to enter the west door first.

Yue Sheng was eager to rush in, but Ran Ran stopped him: "You are going in with the people from the Alien House. Even if there is no evil spirit in the door, be careful of being ambushed by them."

After finishing speaking, Ran Ran turned around and asked Shen Kuang: "You are the descendant of the former leader of the Red Sect. Do you know how to break the Five Evils Formation?"

Shen Kuang shook his head slowly: "Although my grandfather is a demon cultivator, his cultivation method is different from that of immortals. He has never been as bold and reckless as Wei Yuan, and he has never dared to activate the ancient evil formation. However, according to the ancient books of Chimen, the longer you stay in the formation, the stronger the evil energy attack you will endure, so it is best to get out of the formation as soon as possible."

After hearing what Shen Kuang said, Yue Sheng was no longer willing to waste time, so he clasped his fists and said to Su Yishui: "Master, I am willing to explore the way for you and take a look at the west gate."

After saying that, he turned around, tiptoed, and quickly jumped into the west gate. Gao Cang was so angry that he spat at his back: "What a life-thirsty young master, the master didn't even have a choice, but he was so anxious to escape!"
