Ning Guochao was somewhat reluctant, but for both public and private reasons, he had to answer the call! He took a deep breath, put Fan Xiaoling on the bed, then took the phone and tried to keep his voice steady, "Hello, Auntie, I'm Ning Guochao."

Mother Fan's voice was very calm. She didn't say much else. She just asked, "Hello, how is Xiaoling?"

Ning Guochao walked aside and whispered, "It's okay now, Auntie, don't worry. Although Xiaoling's soul has left her body, she is with Wen Qi, so nothing will happen easily."

Hearing that Wen Qi was here, Fan's mother's heart suddenly settled down, and her voice became slightly more relaxed, "That's good. Guochao, when Xiaoling comes back safely, please find some time to come to our house for dinner. Auntie and uncle really want to see you."

Ning Guochao was cheered up and stood up straight unconsciously. He replied, "Okay, I will definitely go." After a pause, he said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you." Wanting to meet, and still at home, this in itself represents a kind of recognition.

Mother Fan laughed and said, "Give the phone to the teacher. I'll talk to her."

The class teacher took the phone and said a few words before hanging up. Then he looked at the two of them seriously and said, "I'll leave my students to you."

At the same time, in the virtual space.

Wen Qi has already memorized most of the runes on the barrier and is trying to restore them.

Fan Xiaoling... had already laid down, her face pale and her eyes closed, looking as if she had fainted. This was in stark contrast to the Taotie who was enjoying eating the soul ball next to her.

After looking for a while, Wen Qi sighed, "No, there's still something missing."

Fan Xiaoling, who was lying like a corpse, wailed and struggled to get up, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she tilted her head and vomited.

Wen Qi hurriedly said, "No, no, no, just lie down, it's only one o'clock, I can handle it myself."

Fan Xiaoling didn't try to be stubborn at all. She just lay back down and let out a long sigh of relief.

Wen Qi's mouth twitched, and he patted Taotie, "Get to work!"

Taotie rushed out and started to chew on the barrier. As an ancient beast, Taotie's most powerful attribute is devouring, and its main skill is to chew on the barrier to see who swallows first.

As it was constantly being devoured, the runes of the barrier naturally appeared.

Wen Qi's eyes sparkled with gold as he read it carefully.

Real world.

Mingren and Liu Ran returned to the office smoothly. They were both very surprised that the attacks and ambushes they thought would happen did not appear. It turned out that they were nervous in vain.

"Xuye gave up?" Mingren asked himself and answered, "That's impossible. The opportunity I created with great difficulty may be the only chance."

Mingren brought Wen Qi's body back to the lounge upstairs and called Mingzhun to help him set up a defensive formation.

Liu Ran was looking at Wen Qi beside the bed and suddenly asked, "Where did Feng Ce go?"

There has been no trace of him for so many days. He left without a sound and I can't contact him at all. It's as if he disappeared from this world.

Mingren was also worried. Did Feng Ce know that Wen Qi was in trouble? Mingzhun interrupted, "Sister Qi and President Feng met today. They repaired our formation together."

Liu Ran looked over in surprise, "When did you meet him? Did Mr. Feng come back from his business trip?"

Mingren frowned, "I tried to call him at night but couldn't get through."

Mingzhun shook his head. "I don't know the details, but from what Sister Qi said, it seems like he left again not long after returning."

Mingren suddenly had an idea, "Could it be that we were able to return safely because of the help of President Feng?"

Liu Ran didn't say anything. She knew nothing about Mr. Feng's abilities.

Ming Zhun nodded and said, "It's possible. After all, the person who can repair the summoning array must be very powerful."

Mingren hesitated for a moment and said, "Anyway, I've returned safely. Why should I think so much? Let's just do what I can first."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Liu Ran's eyes.

Mingzhun was really not worried at all and focused on setting up the formation.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the heir of the Ming family, who are famous in the circle of Taoist priests for their talisman formations. Although Ming Zhun is only a junior Taoist priest, his attainments in the area of ​​formations are far superior to most of the Taoist priests in the circle.

It took only a dozen minutes for Mingren to set up the formation with the help of Mingzhun.

At the same time, something did happen in the underworld that affected the layout of Xuye.

At the beginning, after Xuye escaped to the underworld, he did not enter the underworld, but landed in a mountain stream in the underworld.

At the same time, a voice suddenly sounded in my mind, "Go into the mountain, there is a cave in the southeast direction, which can be used as a foothold."

Xuye was so panicked that he subconsciously did what the voice said.

When he got to the cave, he realized that he had arrived in the underworld. Recalling the moment when the statue exploded, he was still frightened, but this was the only way, it was better than being caught by the group of heavenly masters.

Thinking of this, he suddenly called out tentatively in his heart, "Sir, are you still there?"

After a while, the voice sounded again: "What's the matter?"

Xuye was determined in his mind, and then he told everything related to his experiment, emphasizing the unfinished experimental subject. That was the experiment he had been closest to success, and he was reluctant to give up.

After hearing this, the master said directly: "Idiot. Now that you know the method, you can just experiment again. Why bother with a half-finished product? You stay in the cave for now. Soon, the soul will come to you."

Xuye was still somewhat unwilling. After all, people would always inexplicably care about the "first time", but he did not dare to show it and could only respond respectfully.

The master added: "The point of swallowing breath can be studied more. If it can be used in other places, it will definitely become a killer weapon."

In the next few days, Xuye has been studying related things.

I have to admit that Xuye is not that good, but his talent is indeed outstanding. In just a few days, he developed a barrier without any aura.

Afterwards, Xuye discussed with the adults and made a plan against Wen Qi.

The most important purpose is to destroy Wen Qi's body, forcing her to report to the underworld. Once she arrives in the underworld, it will be almost the same as if she had fallen into their hands.

This mysterious man was extremely confident. "When she enters the underworld, I will naturally find a way to make her your experimental subject."

Xuye was very excited. He had always thought that Wen Qi would be the perfect experimental subject, and now his wish was finally fulfilled.

But the plan was indeed very good, but they did not expect that in the end the King of Fengdu would intervene and completely block their subsequent plans.

The King of Fengdu has recently been investigating the situation in the underworld over the past ten years. Although the ghosts do not know what exactly happened, the entire underworld is filled with the atmosphere of impending storm.

Ghosts are in danger and afraid of committing crimes, which indirectly causes all the judges in the underworld to be extremely alert and work extra hard, not allowing the slightest mistake.

Even Xuye, who was hiding in the mountains, sensed the tense atmosphere and couldn't help but worry, "Martial law in the underworld, plans against Wen Qi..."

The adults were still so confident, "I have my own way."

This was indeed the case. The adults had used some unknown method to trick Wen Qi into falling into the "cage" they had specially prepared for her.

According to their plan, Wen Qi would be trapped for at least eight hours, and this time was enough for them to get rid of Wen Qi's body left outside.

In fact, all those things before were just sleight of hand, including Zhu Yun and the nurse, who were all trying to paralyze those heavenly masters, let them relax their vigilance, and pave the way for the thundering strike.

The foreshadowing was indeed very good at the beginning, but it fell apart at the last moment.

Because the Emperor of Fengdu suddenly invited the four ghost kings to the underworld to discuss matters, and also summoned the ten palace masters together.

No one can play tricks under the nose of Emperor Fengdu, not even the Four Ghost Emperors, unless he doesn't want to live.

Therefore, Xuye's help was gone in an instant. He was far away in the underworld and naturally had no way to control the things in the world of the living. He was not that capable and could only watch the perfect plan end in a whimper.

Xuye was very unwilling, and even felt that he was unlucky and had come at the wrong time.

Until the news came that King Pingdeng was stripped of his official position and thrown into hell.

Xuye shuddered all over and finally became a little sober.

He knew that what they had done was exposed, and if they were caught, they would definitely end up in death!
