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

Seeing Jiang Wei lead his men up, Black Hawk frowned. "Captain Jiang, you just need to guard the entrance..."

He suddenly remembered what the pastor had just said: that those with lightning powers couldn't leave this mountain.

It was speculated that Bijin Mountain must have been set up with an array.

They immediately changed their tune, saying, "You don't need to guard the entrance. Just stay in the room at the entrance and don't come over if you hear any noise."

Coming here won't do any good.

On the contrary, it might force Yun Li to go on a killing spree.

It's better to just stay put.

Jiang Wei felt uncomfortable upon hearing this. "Martial Arts Master, what do you mean by that!"

Black Hawk raised an eyebrow, his expression condescending. "You mean you'll be a hindrance?"

"It's in the way!"

These blatantly disrespectful remarks made Jiang Wei and the other police officers blush with anger.

Jiang Wei glared at him through gritted teeth, "Martial Arts Master, if I remember correctly, your ability should be support-type, right?"

"If it really comes down to a fight, you might not be as strong as our team."

The other team members also raised their chins and looked at Black Hawk with disdain.

Black Hawk wasn't angry; he simply stood in the middle of the road and gestured for someone to join him.

"If you're not convinced, we can have a competition."

Although his martial arts skills are not as good as Lin Shu's, he can easily take on ten or even twenty opponents.

Jiang Wei was a man of courage and integrity; how could he possibly tolerate such provocation?

With one move, he unholstered his gun and tossed it to his teammate, then rushed over to fight Wu Yougong.

"stop!"

A hand suddenly cut in his way.

"Master Zhidu..."

The one who stopped them was the old monk, and Black Hawk looked at him with surprise.

"Amitabha!"

The old monk smiled kindly, "My two benefactors, it is unwise to fight amongst yourselves at this time."

"We should save our strength to capture...that little girl."

Jiang Wei felt as if he had been doused with cold water, instantly sobering up, his face showing remorse.

As the captain of the police force, he was so provoked that he almost forgot the bigger picture.

He gave Black Hawk a cold look, then thanked Master Zhidu, "Thank you for the reminder, Master, otherwise I would have failed in my duty."

Then he waved to his teammates, "Let's go!"

Seeing them heading uphill, the old monk called out to them again, "Benefactor Jiang, what are you going to do?"

"Master, we just heard that two ability users have been killed. Let's go collect their bodies."

The old monk smiled gently, "No need to go. I've already taken care of those two corpses."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei didn't think much of how he had disposed of the body in such a short time.

He praised the master as "benevolent and kind" and then led his people down the mountain.

After Jiang Wei and the others had walked away, Pastor Zhan asked, "Do the two of you intend to travel together?"

"No!" Black Hawk decisively refused.

Master Zhidu sighed, "Thank you for the invitation, Pastor Zhan, but I am too old and do not have the physical strength to search the mountain. I will stay at the Min family's residence and wait for her to appear on her own."

Pastor Zhan didn't press the matter, but was somewhat disappointed, and walked alone down another fork in the road.

"Benefactor Wu, are you going to search the mountain, or would you like to return to the Min family home with me to rest?"

Black Hawk lowered his eyes and smiled. "No, I'm still young, my stamina can keep up."

The old monk laughed heartily, "Indeed, benefactor, you are young and strong; this old monk cannot compare."

"Then let's part ways here."

As Wu Yougong watched Master Zhidu's figure disappear, his expression turned serious.

The mountain is blocked, and Yunli cannot get out.

This is really bad news.

Now all he can do is try to find out who set up the formation, find out what the core of the formation is, and finally destroy it.

Also, if the mountain is blocked, does that mean he can't get out?

And what about those talented and extraordinary people living at the foot of the mountain? Are they also unable to get in?

If he can't get out, and the person who set up the formation is a capable and extraordinary person at the foot of the mountain.

Then wouldn't he be unable to find out the location of the formation's core?

Thinking of this, his brows furrowed into knots.

Entrance to the mountain

Jiang Wei was still very angry when he thought of Wu Yougong's words, but he no longer had the impulse to act; he was just sulking.

"Captain, I need to ask for leave to go back and see my grandma. I'll be back soon."

Hearing a sound coming from outside, even without going out, Jiang Wei, as a partner he spent every day with, knew who it was.

"Go ahead, don't rush back to the team today. You can return tomorrow."

"Thank you, Captain!"

The cheerful voices that came through made Jiang Wei feel much of the pent-up frustration he had been feeling.

But before the anger could dissipate, it gathered again.

"Captain Jiang, come out quickly, we can't get out."

A shout outside startled Jiang Wei. He opened the door and saw that all his teammates looked anxious.

"What's going on!"

He didn't hear what that shout was about.

"Captain Jiang, there's an invisible wall around this mountain, we can't get down."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wei recalled what the Yin-Yang Master had said earlier: "She can't escape this mountain."

I calmed down.

"Don't rush, I'll go take a look."

It wasn't until he crashed into an invisible wall that he truly understood the meaning of the words, "She can't escape this mountain."

You can clearly see the scenery in the distance, but you just can't get there.

Talented and extraordinary people are indeed remarkable.

"This wall is to trap the murderer, not to target them," he said, turning to reassure his team. "Don't worry, this is to trap the murderer. Once he's caught, we can go down the mountain."

Some team members breathed a sigh of relief, but others became even more worried.

"Captain, my grandmother lives alone at home..."

"My mom has to go to the hospital every two days, and there's only one eight-year-old sister in the family, so she can't take my mom to the hospital at all."

"And my home..."

"..."

Hearing that so many people were facing difficulties, Jiang Wei thought for a moment and decided to ask that Yin-Yang Master.

Let's see if there's any way to create an opening in this invisible wall.

Let the team members who need help at home go down the mountain and replace them with people whose families are not in such difficult circumstances.

Remembering that the Onmyoji had headed down the mountain, Jiang Wei asked the team members who hadn't followed him up, "Did you see that Onmyoji just now?"

The few people who stayed behind all shook their heads.

If we haven't seen him, then he's still on the mountain. "Two of you come with me to find the Onmyoji, the rest of you stay here."

The reason for not letting others follow was to prevent them from encountering the lightning ability user and losing their lives; it was safer to stay here.

Suddenly, he remembered Wu Yougong's disdainful words towards them. Could it be that... he said that for their safety?

The mocking expression on his face flashed before my eyes. I shook my head. He probably wasn't that kind.

Yun Li saw everything that happened here clearly.

Through their conversation, another message was gleaned.

That means this formation should have only started today.

Or, to put it another way, this formation was activated the moment she stepped out of the space.

The reason it's described as "starting up" rather than "being deployed immediately" is because it's described as "starting up" rather than "being deployed immediately."

The reason is that setting up such a large formation cannot be done in a short time.

It could only have been planned long ago, but simply not activated.

In other words, besides the cloaked man and the woman she killed, there were others who noticed her leaving the space the moment she left.

So who could this person be?
