When faced with the questioning from the young man from the Li Mansion, the old man didn't even open his eyes this time. He lay there leisurely, as if he was asleep.
"Damn it, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine!"
As he said this, he was about to take action and beat the old man in front of him to death.
However, he was stopped by the other short-haired young man, who said cautiously, "Before we set out from the Li Mansion, the Mansion Master told us not to make a fuss and not to kill innocent people. Let's just spare this old fellow's life for now."
The long-haired young man's face changed when he heard this. He naturally dared not disobey the Palace Master, but he still said, "He's just a country bumpkin. I'll kill him if I want to. But since it's Second Brother who asked me to do it, I'll let it go this time."
Then, he looked towards the backs of Ye Chen and the others in the distance again, and snorted coldly: "But next time if I meet those three blind guys again, don't try to stop me. I will chop off their heads and let them know the consequences of disrespecting me, Princess Li!"
The short-haired young man smiled and nodded, not taking Ye Chen and the other two seriously at all. He looked at the young woman beside him and said, "Sister Xia, let's go into the village and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
"Okay."
Li Xia nodded slightly and walked towards the village with lotus steps.
None of the three of them noticed that just after they walked a short distance, the old man who had been lying there disappeared like a gust of breeze.
Ye Chen took Sun Xingzhe and Yang Xian around the village, and before they knew it, it was already dark.
"The village doesn't look that big from the outside. How come we're still inside the village after walking for so long?"
Sun Xingzhe scratched the hair on his face and asked while looking around.
"It seems that this place is not as simple as we thought..."
Yang Xian murmured softly and looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen had naturally noticed the unusualness here a long time ago, especially he also observed that the two men and one woman who came later also entered the village, but after walking for such a long time, he didn't run into them at all.
If it were an ordinary small village, they would have encountered it at least ten times by now.
But all the villagers they met in this village acted like ordinary country people when they asked questions. Their simple yet ignorant eyes showed no sign of falsehood.
"Perhaps this is the test for entering Sanxian Town..."
Ye Chen spoke in a low voice and looked around again.
At this time, the sun sets and the environment of the entire village quickly becomes dark.
"We must have fallen into a maze set up by some powerful being. Although it seems like we are moving forward, we are actually constantly going in circles within a small area."
Upon hearing this, Sun Xingzhe immediately jumped to Ye Chen's side and asked curiously, "How did you know?"
Ye Chen did not answer, but looked at a dirt wall not far away.
The words "Ye Chen" were engraved on it, which was the mark he had left before.
“It is indeed so!”
Yang Xian's eyes narrowed slightly as he suggested, "Why don't we just fly into the air? That way we should be able to determine our location and leave the maze."
"Not yet."
Ye Chen shook his head slightly, "If we do this, it might mean that we have given up the test, or even lost the qualification to enter Sanxian Town."
Sun Xingzhe shook his head and frowned, "What should we do now? We can't just keep walking like this."
Ye Chen laughed and said, "Are you stumped by this little formation? How can you inherit the mantle of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"
Sun Xingzhe was so excited that he bared his teeth and pulled out the Ruyi Jingu Bang from his ear. He held it in his hand and shouted, "Look at me, Sun Wukong, I will smash this maze to pieces!"
However, just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Yang Xian.
He snorted coldly, "I don't know how many farmers' houses will be destroyed by your blow. Let me do it."
As he spoke, he pointed his two fingers at the center of his eyebrows, and a powerful force exploded from that point, tearing the skin at the center of his eyebrows into a vertical cut.
A golden pupil slowly emerged from the hole, shining brightly.
"Sky Eye, open!"
