Unfortunately, news about this mysterious energy somehow got out, attracting a large number of unscrupulous and malicious people to come and plunder it.
Faced with such a perilous situation, and to prevent this terrifyingly powerful and mysterious energy from falling into the hands of evil forces and causing even greater disaster, the man resolutely chose to completely seal himself off through self-mutilation, quietly awaiting the appearance of his destined soulmate…
Now that Ji Wuchen and Ye Ying have successfully rescued him, he firmly believes that he has a deep connection with these two and is convinced that they will be able to protect that mysterious and powerful force.
Although everything seemed to be going smoothly and reasonably on the surface, for some reason, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen always felt something was amiss deep down.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through their minds.
——
yes!
According to Didi, there should be at least 181 doors here, but so far they have only broken through 58 obstacles, leaving more than half of the challenges unfinished.
How could they have gotten out so easily so quickly...? This is really strange!
Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen exchanged glances, a sense of unease rising within them, as if they had sensed a hint of danger.
They keenly realized that things might not be as simple as they seemed, and that there must be some kind of conspiracy or deception hidden within...
After a brief exchange of glances, Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen reached a consensus: for the time being, they should not act rashly, but observe the situation and see what tricks these people were up to.
So, for a period of time afterward, they pretended to be compliant and cooperative, while secretly keeping a close eye on everyone's words and actions in the village, trying to uncover the truth behind the mystery.
For the first few days, everyone in the village seemed normal, and Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen couldn't help but wonder if they were being too cautious.
Such caution and meticulousness even bordered on paranoia and a sense of being overly suspicious.
However, on an ordinary afternoon, when Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen woke up from their nap, they were shocked to find themselves bound.
They struggled desperately, but the rope was as strong as steel and could not be budged an inch.
The two looked around and saw that everyone in the village had vanished without a trace, and the entire village was shrouded in an eerie silence.
"What exactly is going on?" Ji Wuchen asked in a low voice.
"Looking back, we underestimated our enemy." Ye Ying was filled with regret.
Just then, a familiar laugh suddenly rang out: "Haha, you've finally fallen into the trap I've carefully laid!"
The two looked closely and saw that the person standing in front of them was an old man with white hair.
"You...you're an imposter?" Ji Wuchen asked, his face paling with shock.
"That's right, the true guardians have long since been slain by us. Our meticulous planning and elaborate deception had only one purpose—to lure you into our trap! Now, that long-coveted, mysterious power is finally ours!"
The old man wore an extremely smug smile, as if victory was already in his grasp.
"You despicable bunch, you will never succeed!" Ye Ying roared at the old man, his anger reaching its peak.
"It's all in vain. You can't escape today."
The old man waved his hand dismissively, and several assassins in black entered in response. They held sharp weapons and pressed forward step by step, gradually closing in on Ye Ying and Ji Wuchen.
