On the way back, Xu Yuehuai was slightly puzzled by the matter. She couldn't understand why those ancient people were chasing Zisangyi. Wouldn't that expose their true purpose? Could this be the effect they wanted? But if they really did that, why did they pretend to be kind and benevolent on the outside? Weren't they worried that the people here would go out and report to the outside world that there was a problem?
One question after another arose, but an idea was born in Xu Yuehuai's mind: they probably couldn't get out of this place, otherwise the people outside wouldn't be so at ease letting them stay here. When she learned about this, she wasn't too surprised; on the contrary, she felt that this was something she had expected.
Xu Yuehuai's face was cold and her expression was icy. The next second, she turned to Zisangyi and said, "We're not going this way. Let's get out of here first. There's something wrong with this place. They're trying to trap us here. We've been tricked."
Xu Yuehuai said softly, since they could all sense that something was wrong with her, they might be eavesdropping somewhere right now, so it was best to be careful. Zisangyi had no questions and continued to follow Xu Yuehuai.
"So where exactly is the problem? Why don't we take a look first? If there's anything wrong, we can try to fix it," Zisangyi said tentatively.
Xu Yuehuai glanced back at Zisangyi and felt that he was acting strangely today. At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, but later, his words became more and more strange, as if he was deliberately leading her to do something. This feeling was very strange. "The situation is unclear now. Going now is not the best choice. Since they have trapped us here, it means that my previous whereabouts have been exposed. The most important thing is to leave."
Xu Yuehuai did not agree to this matter in a muddled way, but instead stated a fact that made the person in front of him waver slightly.
Although Zi Sangyi didn't want to agree, things had already come to this point, and if he refused now, it would definitely arouse suspicion. So he could only nod and agree with what Xu Yuehuai said.
The real Zisangyi was still tied to a wooden stick. "What exactly do you want to do? Why did you use a fake to deceive her! Let me go!"
Zi Sangye's spiritual power surged wildly, while the ropes binding him emitted a faint light, clearly intended to suppress his spiritual power. Zi Sangye tried to break free, but no matter how hard he struggled, the ropes held him firmly in place.
"If I were you, I should save my energy now so I can do other things later. Otherwise, if you use up all your energy now, how will you get revenge on me later?" The ancient man spoke with a strong sense of provocation, not treating me like a normal person at all.
Zi Sang was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it. He could only resign himself to his fate and stop. He was right. He had struggled here for so long, but it was all in vain.
Xu Yuehuai led the fake Zisangyi to the spot where they had first entered, but there was nothing around. She tentatively threw something out, and it appeared outside without her noticing. Xu Yuehuai felt that this matter was not so simple. Could it be that the person behind this was just trying to play a trick on them in front of everyone? Just hearing this made it seem unbelievable.
"This seems to be fine. Why don't we go out first?" Zi Sangyi, who was standing next to him, took two steps forward and walked out without paying attention. Xu Yuehuai didn't have time to stop him. The moment he stepped out, his whole body was burned, and his screams spread throughout the area.
Zi Sangyi felt a sharp pain all over his body just watching this scene in the courtyard, let alone Xu Yuehuai who witnessed it all in person. The impact on her was immense. He moved anxiously, "You! Cruel and heartless! This is a person, a living person! How could you let him die like this!"
"Why are you panicking? Are you worried that he's dead and your precious disciple will be heartbroken, or are you blaming me? I don't think you're kind enough to condemn a stranger so easily, are you? So I guess you definitely want to condemn me, thinking that what I did was very wrong." The ancient man held a fan in his hand and slowly waved it.
He always smiled when he spoke, making it impossible to understand what this man was trying to do. Zi Sangyi watched from the side, and for a moment, she couldn't say anything nice to his face. "You're a beast! You're worse than a pig or a dog!"
While Zi Sangyi was furiously hurling insults at him, Xu Yuehuai wasn't idle either. The moment Zi Sangyi was injured, she immediately tried to pull her away, saying, "Why are you so impulsive! Foolish! How long has it been? How have you become so foolish!"
Although Xu Yuehuai was cursing, she didn't waste any time and quickly pulled the person out. At this moment, the fake Zisangyi was on the verge of death, barely breathing. "I... I just wanted to do something for you, I didn't want you to be in danger. This time it was my fault. I thought you would be fine after trying this place, but I didn't expect the other party to be much stronger than I imagined."
He spoke breathlessly, weak and exhausted. Blood blurred his face, making it indistinct. Xu Yuehuai and Zisangyi didn't exchange many words. Although they had feelings for each other, it was more like a friendship between close friends. So when Zisangyi said these words, Xu Yuehuai looked very confused.
She released Zi Sangyi, letting him lie against the wall, and stood in front of him, calmly looking at the person in front of her. He looked at Xu Yuehuai and said in confusion, "What's wrong? Don't think about saving me. I know my body is no longer capable. You should save your strength to deal with others. It's not worth wasting it on me."
Zi Sangyi revealed a smile, and when he opened his mouth, you could clearly see the bloodstains on his teeth.
Xu Yuehuai opened her eyes and calmly said, "You are not my master."
When the real Zisangyi heard this, a smile appeared on her face, a mixture of joy and relief that Xu Yuehuai hadn't been fooled by this.
The ancient man standing to the side was somewhat surprised when he saw Xu Yuehuai recognize that the person in front of him was not Zisangyi.
This person can be said to have no flaws; he is impeccable from every angle.
