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

"Not yet..."

"This is a colleague's territory. We happened to be nearby, so we came to take a look."

Sun Tianxiang was interrupted by Mu Qian as soon as she opened her mouth.

Yun Li glanced at Sun Tianxiang, then at Mu Qian, and knew that Mu Qian was lying.

But it doesn't really matter; they probably have a classified mission that they can't disclose casually.

Although Sun Tianxiang didn't understand why Mu Qian wouldn't let her tell the truth, she didn't dwell on it. She then cautiously looked at Yun Li and asked:

"Ah Li, what are you doing here?"

How could Yun Li, who possessed mental power, not see the tension in Sun Tianxiang's expression?

She was also wondering, was it possible that she couldn't come here? Why did she need to be tested like this?

However, to be honest, I came here "guided by the bloodline of Jiazigou".

Upon hearing this, all three of them involuntarily stiffened.

Yun Li's face turned cold, and her eyes narrowed. "Are you here to stop me?"

"No, no..." Sun Tianxiang waved her hand anxiously, afraid that she would misunderstand.

Yun Li didn't look at her, her gaze fixed on Mu Qian, because he was the leader of the three, and he was the one who made the decisions.

Mu Qian looked around and pointed to a big tree, suggesting, "Let's sit over there and talk."

Yun Li had no objection.

The four picked some leaves to sit on the ground, and the four generals obediently lay down beside Yun Li.

Yun Li kept her eyes fixed on Mu Qian; she needed an explanation.

Since Mu Qian asked her to sit down and talk, he naturally wanted to have a frank conversation with her.

"Ah Li, I want to know which clans your revenge will encompass."

Upon hearing this question, Yun Li tilted her head. To be honest, she hadn't thought about it; she had been following the guidance of the blood droplets.

"have no idea!"

Mu Qian was somewhat surprised by this answer. "Doesn't your blood drop guidance method include blood concentration assessment?"

Yun Li shook her head.

Mu Qian thought for a moment and then asked in a different way, "If there were someone with the same bloodline as Jiazigou, but not from the same branch and separated for hundreds of years without contact, would you seek revenge?"

Yun Li now understood: there was another branch of the Min family in this mountain... no, outside this illusion.

Given that they just mentioned this is the territory of one of their colleagues, it's reasonable to assume that their colleague has connections with this branch of the Min family.

So, they really came to stop her.

I wasn't in a good mood, but I could understand their actions.

They've been separated for hundreds of years and haven't had any contact since, so the sins of Jiazigou can't be attributed to this branch.

"Has this branch committed any wrongdoing?"

Hearing her ask this, Mu Qian felt a great weight lifted from his heart. "I don't know either, but they live in seclusion and have never been outside. So even if they wanted to do evil, they wouldn't have anyone to target them."

Yun Li pursed her lips, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Mu Qian didn't say anything, just waited quietly for her to figure it out.

Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu were extremely anxious. What should they do if Ali insisted on killing those people?

Fortunately, they didn't panic for long, and Yun Li reassured them.

"Some people say that people with the same surname were all one family five hundred years ago, and it's impossible for me to kill all people with the surname Min without distinguishing right from wrong."

The three laughed. Her words meant that she would not implicate the other branch of the Min family, which had separated hundreds of years ago.

"Mu Qian, do you know what's going on with this forest?" Yun Li looked around with a serious expression.

Mu Qian had roughly guessed what was going on here, but if he said it outright, it would expose Huang Gui's identity.

The only option is to fabricate it elsewhere.

"I suspect there's some kind of formation here."

Yun Li nodded. She believed it was an illusion, and in some ways, it was the same as an array.

"Why are there these fantastical things here? Has your Bureau of Paranormal Affairs investigated this...?"

Yun Li suddenly remembered that he said this was the territory of a colleague from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs, so they should know what was going on here.

After considering for a moment, Mu Qian replied, "It should be an array set up by my colleague to protect the villagers."

Yun Li was curious. This era was much safer than other eras, so why was such strict protection necessary?

Could there be something special about that branch of the Min family?

Thinking this to myself, I asked the question.

To be honest, Mu Qian didn't understand why Huang Gui did this either.

He didn't want to lie to Yun Li about this, so he said, "I don't know either."

Therefore, Yun Li did not press the matter further, but asked about the most important thing at hand.

How do we get out?

Mu Qian scanned the area again with his mental energy, but still couldn't find an exit, so he could only turn his gaze to Sun Tianxiang.

Yun Li followed Mu Qian's gaze and looked at her.

This look of trust and entrustment energized Sun Tianxiang, making her jump up and pat her chest, saying, "Don't worry, leave it to me, I'll definitely find a way out."

Next, Sun Tianxiang kept talking to the animals and insects, only to find that some of them couldn't understand what she was saying at all.

Similarly, Sun Tianxiang couldn't understand what they were saying.

Therefore, it can be concluded that not only are these trees illusions, but some of the animals and insects are also illusions and not real living beings.

This situation is not a bad thing, but rather a good thing.

It's not a bad thing because as long as she finds a real animal or insect, she can get it to guide her.

Next, Yun Li, Mu Qian, and Lin Shu were responsible for catching insects and animals for Sun Tianxiang to talk to one by one.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. Three hours later, Sun Tianxiang finally managed to talk to a real rabbit and successfully got it to lead them out of the mountains.

However, the place they came out of was not where Yun Li and the others came in, but the secluded town where the Min family lived.

"Haha, I've finally made it out."

Sun Tianxiang stood on the hillside with her hands on her hips, looking at the houses crammed together in the distance, and laughed loudly.

"Ah Li, where are you planning to go next? Or rather, which way are you going?"

Mu Qian smiled and turned to look at her, only to see a face filled with frost. His smile vanished instantly, and he took a step back warily. "A-Li..."

Not only Mu Qian sensed her killing intent, but Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu also felt it.

The three looked at each other, puzzled as to what had suddenly happened to her.

"Ah Li..." Sun Tianxiang called out in a trembling voice.

Yun Li stared into Mu Qian's eyes and said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, besides killing the bloodline of Jiazigou for revenge, I have another target for revenge."

"Who is it!" Mu Qian had a bad feeling.

"Weasel!"

Yun Li suddenly roared, "I will kill all the weasels in the world, especially the ones that have become spirits!"

After yelling, she turned and ran down the mountain.

Although she didn't see any weasels here, there were weasels enshrined in that ancestral hall.

There are also many memorial tablets with the surname Huang, which are most likely also associated with the "yellow weasel" (a derogatory term for a person with a yellow surname).

Hearing her roar, Sun Tianxiang and Lin Shu didn't know what was going on, but Mu Qian knew, and his expression turned serious.

Even though she had run far away, she could still seem to feel the lingering killing intent in the air.

"Let's follow them!" Mu Qian said with a solemn expression.

Four generals caught up even faster than them.
