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

"Everyone!"

Just then, Jiang Wei walked in.

Upon seeing Jiang Wei, Black Hawk asked in surprise, "Captain Jiang, is there something you need?"

Jiang Weichong nodded to him, then walked up to the old monk, bowed politely, and said, "Master Zhidu."

He then turned to face the crowd and said, "I just thought of a question, so I came up here to talk to you all about it."

"What's the problem?"

"The formation is broken, which means everyone is free to leave the mountain. Similarly, those with lightning abilities can also leave the mountain."

After his reminder, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

"No wonder we couldn't find the lightning ability user. Is it possible she's already taken advantage of this time to go down the mountain?"

"Ninety percent chance."

"Then let's hurry down the mountain to look for it."

Upon hearing this, both Morita and his apprentice were unsettled. If they went down the mountain now, they would surely discover another array at the foot of the mountain.

But if we don't let them come down the mountain, what reason can we give?

Master Zhidu looked at Jiang Wei from the side, a smile in his eyes.

Jiang Wei didn't notice Master Zhidu's gaze; he was observing the others, mainly Morita.

Since he was the one who solved the array at the entrance, he was the only one among those who knew how to set up arrays.

Sure enough, his expression changed when he heard everyone say they were going down the mountain.

Just then, Morita stood up. "If the lightning ability user has come down the mountain, then it will be even harder to find than if he is on the mountain. It will definitely not be easy to find him in a short time."

"I won't be going down the mountain for now."

"Morita, are you not coming down the mountain? Is there something else going on in the mountains?"

"There is indeed something else." Morita nodded. "I calculated that Suzuki Onmyoji is still alive, and I want to go and save him."

"Still alive?" Emma exclaimed. "They were buried down the mountain, and they still survived? My God! That's amazing!"

Whether Suzuki lived or died was of no concern to anyone except Morita and his apprentice, and no one was willing to help save him.

Although everyone is gathered together, it doesn't mean they are truly companions. Many people actually hope that as many talented and extraordinary people from other countries die as possible.

Apart from Morita and his apprentice, everyone else headed down the mountain.

As the group of people walked away, Morita's eyes gleamed with hatred.

What a heartless bunch of people! He said he wanted to save Suzuki because he hoped they would help him.

As a result, not a single person remained.

"Hmph, you'll pay the price." He said viciously after their figures had completely disappeared.

"Master..."

Morita didn't even look at Takahashi, and started walking out. Takahashi quickly followed.

……

On the way down the mountain, Jiang Wei secretly told Master Zhidu about the other formation at the foot of the mountain.

Master Zhidu showed no surprise upon hearing this, indicating that he already knew.

"Captain Jiang, don't worry about anything after this. Just stay in the house with your team."

"Even if you see a lightning ability user, don't make any moves. As long as you don't move, she won't hurt you."

Jiang Wei nodded, indicating that he understood.

He just couldn't understand why Master Zhidu's tone was so certain. How could he be so sure that the lightning ability users wouldn't harm them?

If he asked, Master Zhidu would surely tell him how bad a person surrounded by the golden light of merit could be.

Before they even reached the bottom of the mountain, Morita and his apprentice had already reached the edge of the collapsed cliff.

Morita released two shikigami, and the two small paper figures flew down in a circle and returned under Morita's control.

Morita, who had retrieved his shikigami, had a face as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Master, where is my senior brother buried?"

"Fifty meters underground."

Upon hearing this, Takahashi's face showed anxiety. It was so deep; how were the two of them supposed to dig?

"Master, should we seek help from the government?"

Morita glanced down the mountain and thought that instead of asking the government for help, it would be better to ask those talented people for assistance.

These people are all capable; there must be someone among them who can rescue Suzuki.

……

The group of people descending the mountain reached the edge and finally discovered another formation there.

The expressions on everyone's faces varied.

Emma was the most excited of them all, because the old monk's words that someone was going to trap them on the mountain had come true.

"The old monk's prediction was true; someone is going to pen us up and slaughter us like lambs."

Although Vikram didn't say anything, his restless state was evident from the incessant hissing of the snake around his neck.

Pastor Zhan's hands were trembling as he held the cross; it was clear he was furious.

"Emma, ​​what do you mean by that?"

"It means we've all been tricked." Emma pointed at Zhidu. "Ask the old monk for details."

Those who didn't understand all looked at Master Zhidu.

"Amitabha!" Master Zhidu recited the Buddha's name and then told the story of the divination he had performed.

Everyone was shocked upon hearing this.

"Master Zhidu, what will be our fate?"

The person asking the question was a capable individual from country E. He highly admired fortune telling in China and had no doubt about Master Zhidu's divination.

The old monk said, "There are three possible outcomes: one is total annihilation, one is everyone is safe, and the other is that some of them will die."

"Tch, old monk, what you said is as good as saying nothing at all."

"It's pretty much the same story those scammers tell."

For a time, everyone began to doubt Master Zhidu's abilities.

Black Hawk didn't believe the master was a fraudster seeking fame and fortune; he roughly guessed what the master meant.

He glanced at the crowd and tried to guide the conversation by asking, "Master, is there a key variable in the process of your three drastically different endings?"

"That's right! There's one major variable."

"What is this variable?" someone in the crowd asked.

Master Zhidu: "A lightning-powered individual."

Black Hawk was relieved to hear this answer. It concerned everyone's survival, and he figured they would be hesitant to act rashly when they encountered Yun Li.

"What!" someone exclaimed, their intuition telling them it was absurd.

The superhuman from Country E stroked his chin. "Master, could you explain in more detail?"

"This old monk doesn't know what's going on either; it's just what the divination shows."

Zhi Du stroked his beard. "However, we can guess a thing or two. The person who wants to wipe us out isn't a lightning ability user, but one of us who were invited by the government."

"Our fate depends in part on what the lightning ability user does."

"If the lightning ability user eliminates the mastermind first, then we will naturally be safe."

"Or, if the lightning ability user breaks the formation before that person makes a move, we can also escape from Bijin Mountain."

"That's not right!" Han Xi said after Master Zhidu finished speaking. "Our lives are entirely in our own hands."

"If we find the person behind this, we can just team up and kill him."

"That's right!"

"I also think this is the safest approach."

"It's a bit ridiculous to entrust your life to someone else."

Master Zhidu did not refute this; how could he not have thought of this? It was just that the divination showed that only the lightning ability user could break the deadlock.

"So, who's behind it all?"
