The rat-man circled around, clearly checking the surroundings for anything unusual, but after a while he still hadn't found anything. He was a little discouraged, but his eyes were filled with resentment. He wanted to continue searching for Yan Zhi's trace in this location, muttering to himself, "I clearly saw someone come in from here. Could she have just flown away like that?"
Yan Zhi peeked through the crack and saw the rat-man's appearance. The rat-man did look somewhat similar to Quan Cang. Yan Zhi thought to herself that all trash looks the same. The rat-man had no idea that he had been cursed a thousand times in other people's hearts. He circled around twice, searched many places but found no one, and then turned to leave with some confusion in his eyes. After he left, Yan Zhi emerged from the shadows and followed him in the direction he had gone.
The rat-man is looking for her now. Isn't finding her simple? He can just go wherever she wants to go. This seems unusually easy. Yan Zhi isn't sure if the person in front of her will do this, but the only way for now is to gamble. If it succeeds, it will save a lot of effort.
Moreover, the direction he went was almost exactly the same as the direction Yan Zhi had just calculated, which made Yan Zhi even more certain that this person had gone to the location of Nangong Yu and the others.
On the other side, Nangong Yu and the others fell into a stalemate. No one spoke first, because no one was convinced and felt that the matter was too strange and outrageous.
When Shi Mu looked at everyone, he realized that, without him noticing, they had all excluded him from their positions. He sneered, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought, this is how outsiders are treated." Although he was resentful and had considered other things, the one thing he never considered was hurting them.
But they hurt him deeply in another way, without using weapons.
Shangguan Xi heard the voice but ignored it. Xuan Chi didn't understand why he did this either. This behavior was a complete betrayal of everyone. He didn't understand and wanted to know why. But Shi Mu obviously didn't think so. He was still thinking about how smug this was.
For a time, no matter who looked back, the result was the same, the answer was the same, and the attitude he could give was also the same.
Xuan Chi withdrew his gaze from Shi Mu, and in the end just shook his head with some disapproval on his face, and did nothing more.
The sound of someone entering through the doorway caused everyone to look excitedly towards the entrance, hoping it would be Xu Yuehuai. However, instead, a shifty-eyed man entered, bearing a resemblance to Quan Cang. Their excitement vanished instantly. The man's attire clearly identified him as one of Quan Cang's subordinates. "Oh, so Master always comes here to see you all? I wonder what's so special about you that makes Master so attached to you? That's really going too far."
The man spoke with a sarcastic tone, clearly not a respectable person, and everyone felt the same way. They looked around at the people with even more confusion. The man chuckled twice, touched his wrist, and had a sinister expression on his face. "How about I help my master kill you all? That way, my master won't be troubled by your affairs. What do you think?"
Seeing that the person who came was this devil, Nangong Yu had no intention of saying anything. He turned around and returned to his seat, his eyes filled with disdain. He didn't even look at the person directly. "You talk too much. Why are you chattering away? It's not certain who will win or lose yet, and you're just spouting nonsense here."
Seeing that this tiny creature dared to look down on him, the rat-man's competitive spirit flared up instantly. He rolled up his sleeves, a mocking glint in his eyes, and chuckled disdainfully, saying, "I wouldn't even bother fighting with these wretches. You're all locked up in this place, unable to even get out. What do you have to offer me..."
Before the rat-man could finish speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his head, as if blood was flowing out. He paused, reached up to touch the back of his head, and found that it was bleeding. He turned around and saw the woman he had been chasing standing behind him, now standing right in front of him.
Before the rat-man could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious. After dealing with him, Yan Zhi kicked him twice before turning to them and asking, "Are you alright? I've come to rescue you. How do we get you out?"
"I don't know. Every time that old dog Quan Cang comes, he just stands in the corner and chats with us. After he's done chatting, he leaves and never comes in. We've tried many methods, but we can't do anything to harm it from the inside." Nangong Yu had already noticed Yan Zhi when she came in, so even though she wasn't interested in this person anymore, she kept talking to attract Yan Zhi's attention.
Yan Zhi circled around, trying to find some kind of mechanism, but found nothing. She paced anxiously, "What do we do now? If we can't rescue you, Ah Huai's efforts will have been in vain. She's still outside negotiating with those people, trying to get you out as soon as possible. What are we going to do?"
Yan Zhi circled around twice, then returned, her eyes filled with anxiety and urgency. Her nervousness eased the mood of the others, and they began to offer suggestions together.
"Why don't you try attacking it from the outside? Maybe that will work?" Xuan Chi tentatively suggested. If there was nothing around, it would only mean that if attacked from the outside, the thing would shatter upon contact, which would fit the principle that Quan Cang never touched the thing when he came.
Yan Zhi and the others didn't quite believe that this thing could be so simple. If it really was, then what was the point of them searching for so long? Did it mean they loved the world?
Yan Zhi formed a hand seal in the air and struck the barrier. What happened next silenced everyone. The barrier was indeed fragile and shattered at the slightest touch. When they looked at each other face to face, everyone fell silent. But Fu Ziyi immediately opened the door and went out first. The first thing he did after leaving was to lead everyone away from there.
"Where is Xu Yuehuai?" Fu Ziyi turned to ask Yan Zhi.
Yan Zhi shook her head. "I don't know where they are now. When I came here, they were at the intersection of another palace."
