In the dense forest.

Qingshan looked at the two identical marks on the tree and his eyes darkened.

Xuanshuang walked to the tree on the other side and found the mark he had left before.

"Princess, we seem to be going in circles."

The sun was setting in the west, and they had already walked around the forest several times.

Su Yuejian walked forward and took a look at the secret marks on the two trees. Her pretty face turned a little colder and she raised her eyes and glanced around.

The trees of similar shapes are tall and densely packed together, making it easy to get lost.

Su Yuejian felt dizzy and rubbed his eyes uncomfortably, shaking his head which had a headache.

Xuanshuang walked up to her and gently helped her sit down.

After walking on the mountain road for such a long time, Su Yuejian was not a martial artist after all, and he had not eaten or drunk anything for most of the day, so it was inevitable that he felt a little exhausted.

"The county master..."

Su Yuejian was sitting on the ground, fanning herself with her hands. When she heard Qingshan's shout, she raised her head stiffly, looked at the two men with somewhat worried eyes, and forced a smile.

"I'm fine, you guys sit down too."

Su Yuejian patted the mud and grass beside her, but the two of them did not move.

It was getting dark, and it was no use going on like this. Qingshan looked at Xuanshuang and said, "I'll go again..."

"Don't bother yourself for now, just sit down and rest for a while."

Qingshan and Xuanshuang lowered their heads. Su Yuejian was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed, his lips moving slightly. "Have you ever heard of the Mohist mechanical art?"

Xuanshuang frowned in confusion. After all, Qingshan had been to the battlefield and had heard of this.

"The Tengzhou Mohist School, the foremost of the Dao of Mechanical Arts, is renowned for its mechanical techniques and formation techniques."

Su Yuejian nodded, half opened his eyes, looked at the endless dense forest, and said in a deep voice,

"The Nine Palaces Maze Formation in the Mohist School of Formation constantly shifts paths, dead ends, and paths of life according to the directions of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, causing people to lose their way and fall into traps within the forest."

Qingshan said, "So we are trapped in a maze."

"Yeah." Su Yuejian lowered his eyes and responded softly.

As Qingshan said, Luoshamen is a killer sect. She didn't expect that there are people among them who are good at mechanical engineering. She was careless for a moment and thought it was just a simple ambush.

Frowning slightly, Su Yuejian raised her eyes and met two pairs of fixed eyes. She asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"

Qingshan grinned, "Princess, the sun is about to set, why don't we go out? Aren't you worried about Miss Wan?"

Su Yuejian looked puzzled, then looked at Xuanshuang who was also staring at her, and seemed to understand something.

The opening of his mouth shattered the hopes of the two.

"I know this formation, but I don't know how to break it..."

Qingshan, (wДw)

Xuan Shuang, (?o?)

"What are those expressions on your faces, both of you?"

Qingshan immediately shut his mouth and said, "No, what I meant is that the princess is so knowledgeable, and this is the first time she knows that there is something you don't know."

Xuanshuang nodded. Although they had been ordered to protect Su Yuejian, Su Yuejian actually knew a lot, and many times knew things that were completely beyond their expectations.

For example, the assassins and lurking assassins from the Rakshasa Sect encountered along the way were all dealt with by the three of them, and the greatest credit went to the poison powder developed by Su Yuejian.

Thinking of the wailing sounds of those people before they died of poisoning, the two of them felt a chill down their spines.

As secret guards, they had seen a lot of poisons, but this was the first time they had seen such a ferocious poison powder with such a wide range of damage...

Su Yuejian pursed her lips helplessly, said nothing, closed her eyes and fell into deep thought.

She knew about this formation because Ming Bushi's Linggong Eight Needle Method was inspired by the Mohist Nine Palace Formation.

She happened to read his medical records, but there were only a few words about the formation and no method to break it.

It is absolutely not okay to just sit there and wait for death, but if you continue searching aimlessly, you don’t know when you will fall into a trap.

The person behind the scenes had really made sufficient preparations for this trip. First, there were so many assassins, and also a maze. He just had to wait for her and the secret guards to fall into the trap, or for her to be alone, and then he could reap the benefits.

Su Yue saw that his lips were tense and he was frowning, but when he raised his hand, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Qingshan and Xuanshuang had just sat down when they saw Su Yuejian suddenly stand up and were stunned for a moment.

"The princess?"

The two looked at the familiar smile on Su Yuejian's face and blinked.

After an unknown amount of time, the ghost-faced man looked at the quiet forest in front of him, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The blue-clad subordinate beside him smiled flatteringly, "Master, your mechanical skills are unbreakable. This time, the fish have nowhere to escape. Master, are you going to close the net?"

The ghost-faced man laughed evilly and said, "Of course I have to take it. I didn't expect this little wasp to be just like this."

He raised his hand and ordered, "First, go collect the traps and deal with those two secret guards!"

The subordinate in blue immediately sent a message and gave orders to the people below, and a large number of killers scattered and poured into the dense forest.

The evil ghost mask shone with a strange light in the setting sun.

The ghost-faced man stood at the entrance of the escape route in the dense forest, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

A gentle breeze blew, and suddenly a mournful cry was heard behind me.

"what!--"

"Ugh!—Ah—"

The ghost-faced man suddenly turned around, and several of his subordinates fell to the ground one after another, their faces full of pain, and blood gushing out of their mouths and noses.

Several killers who reacted quickly immediately covered their faces with their sleeves and retreated with the ghost-faced man.

"you!--"

"You!—Why are you here?!"

The ghost-faced man's eyes trembled as he looked at the three people standing not far away in disbelief.

Su Yuejian raised the last bit of poison powder in his hand, and the killer who was still wailing on the ground suddenly fell silent.

He glanced coldly at the ghost-faced man, "Where is my sister?"

The ghost-faced man looked at Su Yuejian, who had run out of poison powder in her hand and only had two secret guards behind her. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled evilly, "Your sister?"

"Why don't you just come here and I'll take you to find your sister?" The man's voice was as faint as a ghost.

Su Yuejian frowned in disgust.

Hearing these disgusting words, Qingshan and Xuanshuang could not bear it for a moment and flew forward to fight with the remaining killer.

Amidst the flashes of swords and shadows, the long sword and the soft whip cooperated in perfect harmony.

Seeing that his men were no match for the two and were about to be wiped out, the Ghost-Faced Man blew the whistle and urgently recalled the killers in the jungle.

Su Yuejian saw his actions and narrowed her beautiful eyes.

I heard a response from the dense forest behind me.

The ghost-faced man laughed out loud, "Hahaha, little wasp, ah little wasp, even if you can escape from my net, what good will it do!"

"Without the poison, there are no wasps of yours here, but with only two secret guards, you can't escape from my grasp!"

The smile on the ghost-faced man's lips deepened, and his eyes fell on Su Yuejian's beautiful face.

It’s better not to do this business with Xiao Chengchang. It would be fun to bring such a beautiful and interesting beauty back to Luoshamen and keep her by my side!

Su Yuejian stood there quietly, her charming eyes moving slightly, but there was only coldness in them. Her cherry lips curled up slightly, "You call this a dragnet?"
