Zhou Chenglang's face changed instantly. He drew his sword and pointed it at the bride Xu Ruyan who had just been married not far away: "You vicious woman, did you do this?"
"I didn't!" Xu Ruyan fell to her knees with a thud, tears streaming down her face. "I really didn't! I didn't do anything at all. I was knocked unconscious and sent to Big Brother's room. I have no idea what happened!"
"Who let you go? Tell me!"
"I don't know... That man was masked, and when I woke up he was already outside the woodshed." Xu Ruyan cried so hard that she almost suffocated. "I think that man is the murderer!"
Zhou Chenglang was furious, but helpless, and knelt before Su Yao: "Director Su, please, save my brother!"
Su Yao nodded: "Everyone go out, except Liu Yuting, no one else is allowed to enter."
"Yes!" Everyone retreated immediately.
Liu Yuting closed the door and stood guard, then turned around and stood side by side with Su Yao.
Su Yao raised her hand, and the Nine Lotus Jade Bone Ring flashed slightly. Several dark green strange herbs flew into her hand. She brought out the alchemy furnace, and the alchemy fire rose in her palm, with a deep aura.
"Blue Nether Flower, Soul-Locking Vine, Heart-Severing Fruit." She murmured the ingredients: "This is a triple attack on the soul, blood, and heart meridians... It's so exquisite."
"Can it be saved?" Liu Yuting asked.
"Yes." Su Yao's purple eyes narrowed: "But it requires acupuncture and medicine together."
The "Twenty-six Ghost Gate Needles" flew out of the jade bone ring, and each needle accurately pierced the unique acupuncture points in Zhou Zhanhua's body.
Liu Yuting pressed his pulse and protected his heart, controlling the flow of spiritual energy.
"The third needle, Luoshenmen." Su Yao whispered, and a stream of spiritual power quietly entered along the needle. The poison was led to the shoulder vein, and she quickly used the Nine-Colored Detoxification Pill to block the poison path.
After the ten needles were inserted, a mouthful of black blood gushed out of Zhou Zhanhua's mouth.
"One more furnace." Su Yao's tone remained unchanged, and the speed of alchemy increased again. His brows were calm, as if he had never panicked.
Liu Yuting calmly took the alchemy tool she handed over, controlled the temperature and adjusted the furnace breath for her. The two of them worked together as seamlessly as water, without any noise.
Outside the house, Wen Wushang sat cross-legged in the yard, his eyes closed and silent, his five fingers spread out to circle the direction of Zhou Mansion.
A purple lightning bolt suddenly arrived, and he raised his hand to block it, sneering: "You still want to take advantage of her rescue to attack? Ask me first if I agree."
Several black shadows dissipated in the air.
He looked up at the light in the window, his eyes calm, but his mind was tense.
Finally, Su Yao fired the last blast of fire, and a halo rose from the Nine Lotus Jade Bone Ring. The three refined pills entered Zhou Zhanhua's throat.
After three breaths, Zhou Zhanhua opened his eyes and said weakly, "I... am still alive?"
Her tone was cold, "His life was saved...but we couldn't find the soul vein in his body that was related to the core of the Illusion City Formation."
"Not on him."
Liu Yuting was stunned: "You mean... the information about the formation's core?"
"Yeah." Su Yao stood up, his eyes deep: "It seems that the plot of this city is more complicated than I expected."
She was about to go find Xu Ruyan to investigate when she suddenly heard the sounds of quarreling and whipping outside the yard.
"Evil woman! How dare you deny it?!"
It was Zhou Chenglang’s roar.
Su Yao and Liu Yuting walked out of the house together, only to see Zhou Chenglang holding a whip in his hand and whipping Xu Runing who was kneeling on the ground.
A medicine bottle and half a broken aphrodisiac prescription were scattered on the ground, and a familiar medicinal fragrance lingered in the air.
"This was found in her room!" Zhou Chenglang was furious: "Why did you want to harm my brother?"
Xu Runing's face was pale and sweaty, but he clenched his teeth and said, "I won't tell you."
"If you don't tell me, I'll beat you to death!" Zhou Chenglang became angry again.
Xu Ruyan knelt in front of her sister, crying hoarsely: "Sister, just tell me! Why did you frame me, frame Brother Zhou Zhanhua..."
The whip shadow rises again.
"stop."
Su Yao spoke lightly, and with a flip of her palm, the whip in Zhou Chenglang's hand suddenly turned into a round panda doll.
Zhou Chenglang was stunned for a moment, looked at the furry doll in his hand, frowned and threw it away.
She said, "Your elder brother is fine now."
"What?" Zhou Chenglang was shocked and immediately turned around and ran into the house.
Su Yao walked slowly towards Xu Runing, staring at her pale face: "If you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you."
Her tone was calm, yet sharp as a blade.
This place is an illusion.
She had long since realized that although Xu Runing, Xu Ruyan, Zhou Chenglang, and Zhou Zhanhua were real people, their hearts and minds were sealed, making their true memories inaccessible. Everything they said and did was merely a script set by the mastermind behind the scenes.
Xu Runing suddenly looked up and asked in a trembling but cold voice, "If you found out that the person you love is an unforgivable devil, would you still be with him?"
Su Yao's eyes remained still: "The person you are talking about is Zhou Zhanhua or Zhou Chenglang?"
She followed Xu Runing's gaze, and it was obvious that she was looking in the direction Zhou Chenglang left.
Su Yao pondered for three seconds and suddenly closed his eyes.
When the purple eyes opened, they were already in the state of the third eye.
"Her heart..." she murmured softly.
Su Yao saw that a thread of love infected with evil spirit was entangled in Xu Runing's heart, and an obscure forbidden spell was sealed on the soul seal on her forehead.
"If this thread of love is not untied, the soul seal cannot be opened."
She stepped forward and whispered, "If it were me, I would kill him."
Xu Runing's eyes widened: "What if you can't kill him?"
"Then seal it."
Xu Runing suddenly laughed, a little strangely: "Su Yao...you are so cold-blooded."
Su Yao said coldly, "I have sealed countless demons." His purple eyes were cold and icy. "Who are you?"
Xu Runing's eyes were cold: "Guess."
Before he finished speaking, Su Yao had already made his move.
