Zhou Xingxing shook his head as he watched Yan Qing's retreating figure.

Next, I need to go to Suiyuan to find Qiong and Danshu, but it seems a bit troublesome to do it all by myself.

As Zhou Xingxing walked, he pondered what Fu Yan was up to.

He also thought that he should go back and get reinforcements, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to deal with that floating smoke.

But I've been walking for several minutes on this road to Xingchahai, and the scenery around me is still exactly the same.

Zhou Xingxing looked around. Because of the chaos caused by Dan Shu earlier, there was no one left in Chang Le Tian's square.

"Are we trapped in a maze?"

Stephen Chow tried taking a few more steps, but when he looked back, he could still see the square at a glance, and his face immediately darkened.

"Okay, okay... is this how you play it?"

Stephen Chow's face darkened; he still wouldn't let him call for reinforcements.

Are all the locals this audacious these days? Changle City is supposed to be a bustling area, yet they're already causing trouble here?

Helpless, Stephen Chow had no choice but to turn back.

The way back was smooth, and we didn't encounter any strange obstacles.

But why is there no one on this road?

As Zhou Xingxing walked further and further, he felt increasingly uneasy. He regretted not letting Yanqing leave, because now he couldn't see anyone at all.

I took out my phone to see if I could call for help, but all I saw on the screen was a large plume of smoke.

Moreover, even Shi Bao couldn't be contacted, which made Zhou Xingxing wonder.

This is no longer a case of being lost in a maze; I'm afraid I'm under an illusion.

But it seems even Fuyan doesn't have that ability? Did other Suiyang figures intervene?

Just as Stephen Chow was racking his brains, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head.

"Ouch! Who attacked me from behind?!"

Stephen Chow clutched the back of his head in pain, then looked up.

The once empty Chang Le Tian was now bustling with activity again.

"Sir, you're awake!"

A Yunqi soldier looked at Zhou Xingxing with surprise and shouted.

"What? You hit me, kid?"

Stephen Chow covered his head and asked, grimacing.

"No, no, no... I wouldn't dare. It's the person behind you."

As he spoke, Yunqijun pointed behind Zhou Xingxing.

I looked back, but there was no one there.

Looking down, he saw Bai Lu grinning and standing with her hands on her hips, looking at him.

"Hehe, you're finally awake! The judge from the Ten Kings Division just said you were under an illusion spell and needed strong external stimulation to wake up."

As Bai Lu spoke, she pointed to the petite judge beside her, who had a socially awkward expression.

"Hello... I am Huo Huo, a judge of the Ten Kings Division."

Chapter 153 Heading to Suiyuan

"The two Cloud Riders just said you looked strange, talking to yourself and standing still. They immediately came to me to take a look, and when I saw you, I realized you were possessed! This is not within my medical scope, so I went to the Ten Kings Division to invite this judge."

Bai Lu very considerately explained the whole story to Zhou Xingxing.

"I'm glad I was able to help... I'll be going now, goodbye..."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Huo Huo breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

"See you again? Forget it! You'll just be back to serving tea and water to those judges. I'm about to suffocate you!"

A highly discordant sound suddenly appeared.

"Huh? Who's talking?"

Bai Lu looked around curiously, but found no target.

"It's me speaking, look carefully."

A huge ball of fire suddenly appeared, followed by a large face with a mocking smile.

"Grandpa Tail! You...how did you get out here all by yourself!"

Huo Huo saw the tail and immediately called out.

Going out like this on the street would be too conspicuous, and the last thing I want is to be the center of attention.

"Hehe, I smell something interesting. I have no desire to go back to the Ten Kings Division, where the atmosphere is as if someone has died."

As he spoke, Tail moved closer to Stephen Chow and began to examine him closely.

"Hey kid, it's you. You have a really peculiar smell."

"Yes, I just fought with Fuyan, wasn't that special?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded and said to the tail.

"Hey? You know about Fuyan? How did that guy manage to get here?"

"Yes, and he also took my sister and Dan Shu away, saying that if we wanted to find them, we should go to Suiyuan to find them."

Stephen Chow said in an annoyed tone.

"What! Sister Qiong and Dan Shu have both been taken away!"

Bai Lu was shocked to hear this. She had only been gone for a short while, how could such a big thing have happened?

"Judge Huo Huo! You have to help me!"

Bai Lu quickly said to Huo Huo, since she had been taken away by Sui Yang, which was within the jurisdiction of the Ten Kings Division.

"Ah? I...I can't do it! Lady Dragon Girl, you could actually ask some more reliable judges for help..."

"But it seems like everyone else in the Ten Kings Division is busy, and you, the judge, look like you have nothing to do."

"Woo..."

Hearing this, he couldn't help but make a bitter face. His fragile self-confidence was shattered beyond repair by Bai Lu's words.

"You better be confident, you bastard! It's not like this is your first time catching Suiyang!"

"Waaah... But... I'm terrified of Suiyang, and now they want me to catch him or something..."

Huo Huo covered her chest, lowered her head, and said weakly.

"I really don't understand what's so scary about that. Your paper figures are way more terrifying than Sui Yang in my eyes. You wake up in the middle of the night and there's a bunch of paper figures laughing around you. It's really creepy!"

"Grandpa Tail, you've gone too far! Those are all my friends!"

When the topic of paper figures came up, Huo Huo's voice grew louder.

Why treat paper figures as friends?

Bai Lu tilted her head and asked in confusion.

"I guess it's because I don't have any friends."

Zhou Xingxing said in a somewhat pitiful tone.

"Woo..."

Hearing this, Huo Huo almost cried; it was heartbreaking.

"Hey, you two really hit the nail on the head with your words. Alright, alright, stop talking, or he'll start crying again."

"I didn't cry!"

Huo Huo blinked hard a few times, trying her best not to let the tears spill out, and then quickly said.

"Anyway, Judge Huo Huo, please help us find friends. Maybe you can find friends too."

"Finding a friend... is that even possible...?"

Huo Huo was still a little hesitant, but she was clearly tempted.

"Of course it's true! I just helped Xing-ge find someone to deliver medicine, and I immediately made a friend. I even took her out for a smoked meat burger!"

Bai Lu nodded and said with a smug look on her face.

Seeing Bai Lu's expression, it seems that the two have resolved their relationship issues.

"Go away, go away, stop spending your days doing menial tasks in the Ten Kings' Bureau, you'll never amount to anything."

The tail also chimed in with a comment.

"It's not like I wanted to be a judge..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Huo weakly uttered a sentence.

"Alright then, I'll go with you to take a look."

After Bai Lu's persistent pleading and her tail's threats and inducements, Huo Huo finally agreed.

During the journey, Stephen Chow tried to call the other members of the train crew, but strangely, none of them answered.

"Were those people sleeping so soundly...?"

Zhou Xingxing hung up the phone helplessly and asked the two Yunqi soldiers to go and check on the inn.

The three of them headed straight for Suiyuan.

As soon as I entered Suiyuan, a cold wind blew.

It was daytime outside, but Suiyuan was shrouded in darkness.

"Hey, why is it so dark here?"

Bai Lu stared wide-eyed at Suiyuan Garden; it was her first time visiting this place.

"Because the Creation Furnace was shattered, the Suiyang (a type of celestial body) mostly prefer cold and gloomy places, so they all gather here. It must be because a powerful Suiyang has cast an array that makes this place feel like night."
