Ye Tantai was lost in thought when he suddenly heard Li Jichen's cry from where he was, and he immediately returned the way he came.

When he saw Li Jichen trapped in an animal trap, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The majestic Master of Lihun Hall was actually caught in a mere animal trap."

"Stop laughing," Li Jichen gritted his teeth, trying to save his image, "I was too asleep and didn't pay attention to this mechanism. Throw my saber over."

Only then did Ye Tantai take a serious look at the hunting net that trapped Li Jichen. It was made of special material and could be cut continuously by ordinary knives. The person who set the trap was also very smart, but how could it fall on Li Jichen's head by such a coincidence?

Ye Tantai passed the long knife on the ground through the gap in the animal trap. Li Jichen got his weapon, and while muttering curses, he raised the knife and dropped it, landing steadily on the ground.

"The people of Paradise Sect are really despicable. How can you trap any enemy with such a small trick!" He patted the dust on his body and straightened his messed up hair.

Ye Tantai said nothing. He picked up the hunting net that was cut off by Li Jichen and looked at it carefully.

"It doesn't feel like it was recently installed," he raised his eyes to analyze with Li Jichen, "but I have observed around here and there is no mechanism installed."

"I know, this thing appeared out of thin air," Li Jichen felt depressed, and his voice was a little low, "How could I not see such a trap for a three-year-old child? I just don't know why it appeared out of thin air."

Ye Tantai retorted unceremoniously: "If it is really a trap that three-year-old children know, it will not appear out of thin air. You should think carefully about whether there is anything wrong before it appears."

Li Jichen disagreed: "This time it was just an accident. I have been to the Paradise Gate before. There are not so many famous places outside the mountain."

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone under Li Jichen's feet suddenly made a cracking sound. Ye Tantai wanted to pull him to his side, but he was too late. Arrows were shot from all directions and flew towards the two of them. Come.

After the two of them avoided it flexibly, there was already some distance between them. Li Jichen frowned, his eyes were like a ruthless killer in the dark night, and said coldly: "I heard it, someone did it on purpose."

"Don't..." Before Ye Tantai could finish his words, Li Jichen rushed in one direction, but in the blink of an eye, he was hung up again in the animal trap net. This time the net was thicker than the one just now. It’s a lot more complicated and a lot more dense.

"Bliss Gate!"

Li Jichen's roar echoed throughout the jungle.

Su Qingcheng, who was not far away and had excellent hearing, and Wu Ya, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, naturally heard this hateful voice.

"Let's go, I've determined where they are." Wu Ya suddenly became serious and drove the carriage in the direction of the sound.

"Don't be impulsive. The identity of the other party has not yet been determined. It is unreasonable to go rashly." Su Qingcheng motioned for her to stop the carriage and calmly analyzed, "My suggestion is that we go to the Paradise Gate first. As long as we are one step faster than the other party, then they The purpose and identity will be clear."

Wu Ya thought for a moment, but she still hesitated.

But she knew that Su Qingcheng was much calmer on this matter. She nodded: "What you said makes sense. I know there is a shortcut to the back door."

Wu Ya, who was persuaded by Su Qingcheng, immediately turned his horse's head and moved quickly in the opposite direction.

Within half an hour, the two of them arrived at the back door of Paradise Gate. Unlike the Lihun Palace, their base is integrated with the mountain. From the outside, it is impossible to tell that there is a cave inside.

The first time Su Qingcheng came to Paradise Gate, she was shocked by the scene inside. But what surprised her even more was that there were bloodstains all over the place, but there was no body.

She knelt down and touched the long-dried, blackened blood on the ground, and determined that it belonged to the people who were killed in the massacre a year ago. Judging from these traces, there were definitely many people who died.

But what about the body?

If they were just seeking revenge, they could naturally walk away after killing everyone. There were obviously traces of being burned here, but there was not a single body that had been burned by the fire.

Su Qingcheng was puzzled and asked, "Do you know where these corpses might be?"

Su Qingcheng didn't get an answer for a long time. She suddenly felt as if she hadn't heard Wu Ya's footsteps for a while: "Wu Ya, are you still there?"

Still not getting an answer, she turned around cautiously, only to find that Wu Ya hadn't gone anywhere. She was standing straight on the spot as if possessed by an evil spirit, her eyes blank.

"Wuya." She walked closer and called again.

No matter how much Su Qingcheng shouted, Wu Ya remained indifferent.

Su Qingcheng frowned and quickly moved her eyes to look at the surrounding layout. The scattered stones and weapons were placed everywhere in a strange order.

She originally thought it was just a trace left after people fought that day, but now she looked carefully and saw that it was a formation.

A formation that can cause illusions to appear.

She didn't know what Wu Ya saw in the illusion. Su Qingcheng felt that the wind blowing over had a chilly feeling. She forced herself to calm down and looked at the formation over and over again, trying to find a way to break it.

"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches..." She kept chanting those things that she knew by heart, trying to relate them to everything in front of her.

"It should be there." She resolutely took off the hairpin from her head and poked the eye of a fallen stone lion in an inconspicuous corner.

In an instant, the layout was changed.

Wu Ya wakes up from the illusion.

"Wu Ya, are you okay?" Su Qingcheng quickly returned to her side, looking nervous.

Wu Ya rolled her eyes, but her eyes turned red for some reason. After blinking, a tear flowed out of her eyes: "It was my father who killed my mother and my brother..."

Su Qingcheng didn't hear what she was saying clearly, and her hand had already quietly touched her pulse: "What did you say?"

A confused pulse and restlessness are signs of a major blow.

Wu Ya repeated over and over again: "It was my father who killed my mother and my younger brother. It was my father who killed my mother and my younger brother. It was my father who killed my mother and my younger brother..."

Su Qingcheng frowned, realizing the seriousness of the matter: "Wu Ya!"

With a cry, Wuya's eyes regained their clarity, and her mouth stopped mumbling.

"Listen to me, someone has tampered with this place. I don't care what you see. I just want you to know that everything you see is not true."

"But...with my own eyes..." Wu Ya trembled and squatted down, hugging herself.

Su Qingcheng gently stroked her back: "Without your own eyes, look at where you are now and when it is. That day has passed. You are not on that day. You are with me. I am Su Qingcheng."
