That night, the food was sold out successfully. After Mu Yibai and his colleagues finished their work, they prepared to return to the nearby rented yard to rest.

As the night deepened, they walked along the familiar street. However, as they walked, a strange feeling crept into their hearts. The scene in front of them seemed familiar, but completely different. The same thing was that familiar street, but the difference was that at this moment, there was a gloomy and strange atmosphere all around. The street, which should have been bustling, was now empty of pedestrians. Only the road that seemed to never end seemed particularly long and mysterious under the dim moonlight.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, Jianzhong, don't go any further. We are trapped in a maze." Huo San was the first to notice that something was wrong, and his words were full of regret and self-blame.

He never expected that this place had been set up with a maze long ago, and he was completely unaware of it.

"Hmm! I guessed it. Normally we would have arrived home long ago. It seems someone is already impatient." Mu Yibai's face was solemn, but his tone was still steady.

Fu Yunxi also looked calm and said, "Since it is a formation, it must be possible to break it. Besides, with our current strength, we will not be easily harmed."

Huo San frowned and analyzed: "This is not just a simple maze, it also contains a murderous aura. If we want to crack it, we must find the flaw, which is the center of the formation. I think we will inevitably have a hard fight today."

As soon as Huo San finished speaking, the four of them drew their weapons and prepared to face the impending danger.

Fu Yunxi held a long whip in her hand, the whip flashing with a cold light, while Mu Yibai and the other two drew out their sharp swords, the sword bodies reflecting the cold moonlight.

"They are coming! Everyone be careful!" After only hearing a warning, they took a few steps and suddenly groups of men in black emerged from all around like a tide. They all held swords in their hands, and the cold light flashed in the darkness, which was chilling.

Huo San and his companions brandished their weapons without hesitation and instantly plunged into the fierce battle.

Fu Yunxi still cooperated with Mu Yibai tacitly. Her long whip was as flexible as a snake, and every time it was swung, it was accompanied by a sharp sound of wind. Mu Yibai's sword was as swift as the wind. The whip and the sword were coordinated perfectly, and they took people's lives wherever they went.

Chen Jianzhong and Huo San showed no weakness and fought fiercely with the men in black. These men in black were not only powerful, but also numerous, seemingly endless. However, Mu Yibai and others had no intention of retreating, their eyes were full of determination and courage.

Time passed minute by minute, and this fierce battle lasted for a full half hour before it finally subsided.

In the end, Mu Yibai's side won the victory with their tenacious will and superb martial arts.

"Is anyone injured?" After Fu Yunxi stopped, without even taking a breath, she asked about everyone's condition first.

These men in black were so vicious that they even coated their swords with poison. She saw with her own eyes that when Yi Bai was swinging his sword at the men in black, he was accidentally scratched by the sword. His wound was now oozing with black blood!

"I'm fine, Master's wife."

"I'm fine too."

"Yeah! I'm not injured either, but I feel like this maze is not over yet."

Several people stood back to back. Mu Yibai looked around and found that the bodies of the killed men in black had disappeared out of thin air, as if they had never appeared. The current situation was still very strange and it was obvious that the formation had not been broken yet.

"Yes, we are still in a maze."

"There's a snake, be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, many snakes swarmed in from all directions.

"These snakes are quite strange. The medicine packs I made are supposed to repel snakes and insects. Normally, they should not approach."

Fu Yunxi was full of doubts. These snakes were crawling towards the four of them with a clear purpose, as if someone was directing them, and the medicine bags could not drive them away.

"No, the trees around here are all changing."

Mu Yibai held his sword and prepared to fight the snakes while keeping an eye on the surrounding scene.

"Huo San, do you see clearly? Are we going to keep fighting round after round like this?"

Seeing that the snakes were rushing to them, everyone had to continue dealing with it. Chen Jianzhong shouted while waving his sword.

"This way! The exit is right here, let's run in that direction."

Huo San said that this maze was constantly changing. He had found the exit when he was fighting with the man in black before, but as Mu Yibai said, the formation changed again after the killing, so he had to find the exit again.

"Okay, let's go!"

After Chen Jianzhong saw clearly the direction Huo San pointed, he gradually moved towards that direction.

"The snakes in the formation have no spiritual awareness and can only attack blindly, so they are not afraid of our herbs."

Huo San took the opportunity to answer Fu Yunxi's questions. This was a maze set up intentionally by someone. The snakes were controlled by it. Even if they knew there was danger ahead, they would still bravely move forward until they were killed.

"We're here, hurry up!"

Arriving at the exit, Mu Yibai asked Fu Yunxi and the other two to leave first, and he dealt with the remaining snakes alone.

"careful!"

Fu Yunxi knew Mu Yibai's ability very well. These snakes could not defeat him. He dragged the still hesitant Chen Jianzhong out of the formation. Mu Yibai, who was left behind, had no more scruples. He directly used his internal force to shock the snakes several meters away, and then dodged out.

"Master——"

"Are you injured?"

"I'm not injured, but the person behind this still hasn't shown up?"

The four people finally got out of the maze. Fortunately, among them was Huo San who was familiar with the formation, otherwise it would have been difficult to crack it for a while.

"Hahaha... As expected of General Mu, his former demeanor is still there!

Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter came from a distance, the voice arrived before the person appeared.

Just this one sentence made the four people's faces change suddenly. Could it be that their identities were exposed?

"Since you are here, why don't you show yourself?" Mu Yibai narrowed his eyes and spoke immediately. Since his identity has been discovered, he will face it calmly.

"General Mu, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that even our Southern Border's Sutra Devouring Gu couldn't do anything to you. This really makes me look at you in a different light. No wonder my father was defeated by you."

In the distance, a man in red clothes flew over, followed by two rows of black-clad guards. His red clothes were extremely eye-catching among the crowd.

Fu Yunxi recalled the information that Fu Ziyan had given her before, and this person was most likely Sikong Boyu, the Lord of Youjiang.

"Lord, you are too kind. I fight for the country and the people. I have no personal grudge against you. May I ask what is the purpose of this confusing situation today?" Mu Yibai confronted Sikong Boyu without any fear.

He and the others in the Mu family have always acted uprightly, and they have never done anything despicable as commanders. He had already guessed that the Sutra-Eating Gu was the plot of Sikong Boyu and the eldest prince.

"It seems that General Mu has a deep memory of me. He still remembers me. Today I am just giving you a gift. Thank you General Mu for donating more than a dozen carts of high-quality food to the people of Southern Xinjiang in the past few days."

Sikong Boyu had already noticed Mu Yibai and his companions when they entered the city, but he did not expose them because he wanted to see what they were up to. After observing them for the past few days, he thought that Mu Yibai must be trying his best to attract his attention, so he would naturally help him.
