Dream Walker: Feng Shui Master Bai Ya

Ashiya Renzaburo turned to Shang Muchen and said, "Master Shang, I will pay you for hiring you to help us break the formation, please rest assured."

Next, please use your supernatural powers to lead us deeper into the area.

We must capture Kurosaki Hideto as soon as possible, and at the same time rescue my other disciple, Nanzan Ran.

As for Lu Mingdi, I have no intention of getting entangled with him; you can deal with him as you see fit.

Don't worry, I won't disclose any information about this to the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau.

After all, I am a retainer of the Takeuchi family and a partner of the Shika family; I have no obligation to be responsible to the Supernatural Disaster Management Bureau.

Shang Muchen said that asking them to pay was just an angry outburst; he didn't care that much about money, he just didn't want to get involved in trouble.

However, it's clear that I've already gotten myself involved.

On one side are Ashiya and his apprentice, and on the other side are Xiao Jie and his two brothers. Both sides are hoping that he can help them completely break the formation known as the "Reflection Spirit Platform Formation" and find the person hidden in the formation.

There was no other way but to keep going.

Shang Muchen activated his "mind's eye" and tried to observe, but he couldn't find Nanshan Lan's location, nor could he find Kurosaki Hidetoshi or Lu Mingdi.

My own abilities are limited; although I can use a god-like perspective to overlook a nearby area, I can't see very far.

He could only lead a few people, taking it one step at a time, trying his best to avoid the constantly shifting and changing energy vortexes, and trying to avoid falling into the trap again.

Shang Muchen didn't understand formations, let alone Qimen Dunjia. He relied entirely on his "mind's eye" to observe the Qi field of the environment.

After careful observation, Shang Muchen discovered that even "Qi field" can be divided into different levels, frequencies and rhythms, just like a mille-feuille cake that can be peeled off layer by layer.

It's like a mirror shattered into countless pieces. At first glance, you can see the whole picture, but upon closer inspection, you can only see your own eyes.

After walking for a while, the rotating energy vortex ahead grew larger and larger. Even if they took a detour, they could only cautiously squeeze through the gap between the two vortices.

However, the illusory energy vortex often mirrors the real-world terrain.

Whenever Shang Muchen ignored the empty main road on either side and insisted on squeezing through the gap between two dilapidated walls, Wu Biao and Fujiwara Eikichi would complain incessantly, but Xiao Jie would unconditionally support him.

Ashiya Renzaburo explained to Fujiwara Eikichi that they were currently trying to slip through the gaps in the formation.

After walking around for a while, Shang Muchen suddenly discovered the location of Lanshan South.

In front of a flat-roofed building that looks like a community clubhouse, there is a large vortex of energy.

Lan Shannan, with his slanted eyes, straight bangs, and a charmingly cold face, was sitting cross-legged at the door of the house.

"Nan-chan!" Fujiwara Eikichi panicked and immediately tried to run over, but Shang Muchen grabbed him.

In his "mind's eye," Shang Muchen saw a giant with a single horn on its head, a huge and ferocious appearance, a bare upper body, red skin, and wearing tiger-skin shorts, weighing a huge wooden stick in its hand, pacing back and forth at the doorway.

Lan Shannan's neck was locked by an invisible chain.

The chain resembled a barbed collar on a sheepdog, but the barbs pointed inwards, towards the skin of her neck, rendering her completely immobile. Any movement would cause the chain to pierce the flesh of her neck.

Lan Shannan had no choice but to sit there stiffly, with his neck arched, face raised, eyes closed, and motionless.

Shang Muchen told the others what he had seen with his "mind's eye," and Fujiwara Eikichi wrung his hands anxiously, shouting, "I didn't see the necklace at all! Don't lie to me!"

Ashiya Renzaburo said, "Fool! It seems that Aoyama Minami fell into Kurosaki Hideto's trap in trying to get you out."

"Kurosaki Hidetoshi's wicked methods are beyond the imagination of someone as stupid as you!"

He turned to Shang Muchen and said, "Master Shang, the red-skinned demon you saw is not an enemy, but the shikigami 'Ichikaku-ki' from Lanshan South."

Clearly, he is protecting Blue Mountain South, or Blue Mountain South is being controlled and has sent out the "One-Cornered Demon" to guard the gate.

Master Shang, can you help us rescue Lanshan Nan?

We can pay more...

"It's not about paying more..."

Shang Muchen scratched his head, confirming the situation before him. It was clear that the building guarded by Lan Shannan was likely the core of the formation, and Kurosaki Hidetoshi and Lu Mingdi might be hiding inside.

What should we do?

Shang Muchen did not take a step forward. Instead, he circled around the edge of the open space, turning to the side, carefully avoiding touching the edge of this invisible energy vortex.

After circling around to the side of the building, Shang Muchen confirmed a regrettable result: the entire building was covered by the largest energy vortex in the array in front of him, making it impossible to bypass it from the ground.

Ah, if only I could fly.

Now you can clearly see the "eye" of this energy vortex. Entering from the "eye" directly above is definitely the right shortcut.

What should I do?

Shang Muchen was getting anxious and couldn't think of a good idea for a moment.

Judging from the current situation, if we force our way in, we'll definitely have to fight that "one-cornered demon".

Based on their known combat strength, Ashiya and his apprentice, along with the short Wu Biao, might not be unable to defeat that monster, but rescuing Lanshan South without taking any damage would not be an easy task.

Clearly, the person who orchestrated this wanted a lose-lose situation.

Is there any good way to break this deadlock?

Shang Muchen racked his brains, reviewing everything that had happened recently, trying to find some lessons to learn.

Suddenly, the phone rang; it was Liu Qingyang calling.

Shang Muchen quickly answered the phone: "Qingyang!"

"Sorry, Mu Chen, I've been extremely busy and haven't checked my phone." Liu Qingyang's slightly tired voice came from the other end of the line. "I called you as soon as I saw your message. Are you alright?"

You said you went to a construction site in the suburbs with some of Lu Mingdi's friends to look for him. What happened?

"Have you encountered some kind of danger? Should I call the police for you?"

"Qingyang, don't worry, I just wanted to let you know."

I've already contacted Li Weiqiang, and Captain Li replied with "I understand," so if there's any real danger, he'll step in.

"It's right to report it beforehand," Liu Qingyang said with a smile. "If you go out to play without reporting it, you might get scammed and tricked into going to a brothel, which would be terrible."

"What are you busy with? Don't overwork yourself, you sound exhausted. Wasn't it just about delivering the equipment? Why aren't you back yet?"

"Sigh, it's a long story. The equipment needs to be matched with the construction site, so it has to be debugged and repaired. In short... sigh, I'll stop here for now, Boss Ai is coming to urge me to hurry up again!"

"Mu Chen, you must be good, okay? Don't take any risks, don't cause trouble, and wait patiently for me to come back!"

"Okay! You need to be careful too!"

Liu Qingyang hung up the phone hastily, and Shang Muchen felt a little disappointed.

He simply sat down on the ground to rest, and like Lan Shannan, he closed his eyes slightly and relaxed his body.

Upon seeing Shang Muchen sit down, Fujiwara Eikichi immediately became anxious and rushed over to pull him away, only to be slapped across the face by Ashiya Renzaburo, who glared at him, signaling him to keep quiet.

Shang Muchen was indeed quite tired. He had been running around all night and had been using his "Mind's Eye" to observe the traps of the formation with a highly focused mind. He was exhausted.

As I closed my eyes to rest, a screen seemed to light up in the empty space in front of my forehead.

Shang Muchen found it very interesting; it was the first time he had discovered that he could still see things even with his eyes closed.

Like sitting in a private movie theater, Shang Muchen began to watch the scene on the screen with great interest.

At first, it was a chaotic display of light and shadow, but as a thought of "Liu Qingyang" arose, Liu Qingyang's figure appeared on the invisible screen in front of his forehead.

In the scene, she is piloting a giant four-armed robot, fighting against a nine-headed serpent deep underground.
