It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

Yunxuan slept peacefully, but Yunli couldn't sleep; she had doubts about the forest.

Last time, I learned from a bloodline member in Jiazigou in the mountains that their entire clan had gone into hiding.

Some of them, like him, hid in the mountains, and she got a lot of damaged maps from the scrap metal recycling station.

After careful comparison, it was found that there should only be one hill in this area.

But what's going on with this mountain now?

It was even more primitive than some of the primeval forests she had visited before, and some of the trees were so large that they didn't seem like trees from the mortal world.

In the darkness, he scanned his surroundings with his mental energy and found a relatively flat spot to walk over to.

He sat down on the spot, took out a steamed bun and started eating, all the while pondering what was going on.

While eating her third steamed bun, she suddenly paused in her eating motion.

Back then, Yunxuan was clearly taken away, but she was deceived by illusions and thought she was still there, thus missing the opportunity to kill her.

Turning his palm over, the blood droplets from Jiazigou floated in the dark air, still guiding the way, which meant that there was Jiazigou bloodline here.

The weasel clan has extraordinary abilities. Could there be weasels around the Jiazigou bloodline that is being guided by the blood drop?

Soon, the doubt turned into certainty: it must exist!

This forest must have been used to trap her.

He was furious inside, but he didn't show it on his face. He ate the buns one bite at a time, and after finishing six, he felt full.

He stood up, looked around, then snorted coldly, and each of his hands held a grenade.

Without any hesitation, he used his mouth to pull open the clasp and threw it out.

Two loud booms resounded, shaking the earth.

Yunxuan, who had just fallen asleep, was startled awake. Instead of rushing out of the tree hole, she shrank back inside and listened intently to the sounds outside.

Soon, two more explosions rang out. She looked serious, wondering if someone had entered the mountain.

If so, then she wouldn't be able to ask them to take her out of the mountains.

She shook her head again, thinking that even if someone came in, she couldn't be sure that the person was a good person.

Forget it, let's not gamble anymore. As long as she doesn't starve, she'll definitely find a way to get out of this situation.

In the darkness, she touched her legs and arms. Her arms only had minor superficial injuries, nothing serious.

As for his leg, it's broken, but it might be treatable once he gets out. Even if it can't be cured and he becomes a cripple, it doesn't matter.

Because she is still alive, while that person has been tortured to death, she is the winner in this life no matter what.

Like Yunxuan, everyone in the small mountain town was also frightened.

In the dead of night, everyone groped their way out of the house, gazing with deep worry towards the dark mountains and forests.

"That sound just now resembled a bomb exploding. Could someone have broken in?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean by 'invading'? This is no longer a time of war. Who would dare to openly invade here like this?"

"If that's not the case, then tell me, what's going on?"

"I don't know what happened, but I can guess a thing or two."

"Little tune, tell me your guess," an aged voice rang out.

The young man walked to the old woman's side and gently helped her up. "Grandmother, my great-grandson suspects that someone accidentally wandered into the Illusion Forest and couldn't get out. In frustration, they used a bomb."

"Went in by mistake? Is that possible?" The old man was not optimistic about the guess of "wrongly entering".

"The Illusion Forest is divided into three levels. Upon entering the first level, one will encounter large wild beasts such as lions and tigers. Most people will retreat immediately upon seeing them and dare not go any deeper."

"But the location of the explosion is clearly now within the third layer of the Illusionary Forest."

"In other words, the beasts did not deter this person; instead, they ventured even deeper. This indicates that the person was exceptionally courageous and highly skilled, and most likely came with a purpose, rather than by mistake."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"Ancestor, Huang Gui is not here, and we do not know whether the person who comes is friend or foe. We must prepare ourselves."

The old man hummed in agreement. "Go and get ready!"

The group scattered like birds and beasts, going back to retrieve their weapons and set traps.

The old woman then instructed someone to help her to the Min Family Ancestral Hall.

The furnishings in this ancestral hall are different from those in ordinary ancestral halls.

In the center were two portraits: one of a man in an ancient robe and the other of a weasel lying lazily.

If Yun Li were here, he would definitely recognize that the man in the painting and the weasel are the incorruptible corpse of the Min family patriarch and the weasel sculpture in the ancient tomb.

The ancestral hall was filled with memorial tablets on both sides.

The memorial tablets on the right are all inscribed with the surname Min, while those on the left are all inscribed with the surname Huang.

The old woman gave a signal, and the person who helped her in immediately lit incense and respectfully handed it to her.

After offering incense to the ancestors, the old man recounted the events of the evening and prayed for their blessings.

Huang Gui, who was on a mission at the border, suddenly felt uneasy. He immediately sat down cross-legged and began to move his right fingers rapidly.

He's calculating.

Wu Jiu and he were partners, having worked together for over ten years, and they already knew each other well.

Seeing this, it was clear that he must have discovered something, and he began to keep watch around to prevent any animals or people from disturbing him.

Ten minutes later, Huang Gui finished his calculations. His face was drained of color and turned deathly pale, but no one could see it in the darkness.

Although Wu Jiu couldn't see his face, he knew something serious had happened from the gloomy aura emanating from him. "Huang Gui, what happened?"

Huang Gui did not respond immediately, which added another layer of unease to Wu Jiu's mind.

After a long while, he said with deep sorrow, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have arranged for Yunxuan to live in a secluded village."

"Did she do something?" Wu Jiu frowned.

"She escaped."

Wu Jiu was taken aback. They just escaped? This is such a small matter, why is Huang Gui acting as if it's a major crisis?

"We'll just bring her back when we get back."

Huang Gui shook his head. "It's too late. Now I just hope Yun Li will show mercy."

Wu Jiu was completely confused. What did this have to do with that pervert who liked to break bones?

"What exactly happened?"

Wu Jiu squatted down in front of him, raised her hand to stroke his face, and said, "Tell me everything, and maybe I can help you think of a solution."

Huang Gui removed his hand from stroking her face and sighed softly, "Yun Xuan's ability to possess memories of multiple lifetimes shows that she has extremely strong luck."

"Although Yun Li also possesses memories of ninety-nine lifetimes, I don't see strong luck in her; instead, I see only a murderous and malevolent aura."

"If these two were to clash, Yun Li would naturally have the upper hand, but it wouldn't be so easy for Yun Li to kill Yun Xuan directly."

"It's not that she couldn't bring herself to do it, nor that she couldn't beat her, but rather that the powerful luck helped Yunxuan avoid her."

"If Yunxuan avoids Yunli, then Yunli's murderous aura and violent energy will have nowhere to be vented, and someone else will have to bear it."

These other people are the residents of the secluded village.
