Shen Wanwan walked into the last adobe house, quickly scanned the room, and soon saw a familiar figure.

"Afu, why are you the only one here? Where is Canglang?" Shen Wanwan's voice was a little anxious.

When they separated at Dongjiling, she asked Canglang to go down the mountain and take Ah Fu to find a place to hide, and she had no idea what happened to the two of them afterwards.

Logically, everyone should be locked up in these adobe houses, but this is the last one. Only Ah Fu is missing Canglang, and even Feiying and Xuan Bin who came with the soldiers are nowhere to be seen.

They had been with Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan through thick and thin for many years. If something really happened...

Ah Fu looked at the person in front of him with a confused look in his eyes, but more of it was fear.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wanwan realized that she had to untie them first. She immediately gathered her spiritual power and hit the chains that trapped everyone.

The moment the chains turned into black smoke and dissipated, the fear in Ah Fu's eyes slowly faded away. "...Princess Qin?"

Just as he was about to say this, he suddenly remembered something and immediately changed his words: "Miss Shen, go and save Lord Canglang. If I heard correctly, they were taken to the altar in Dongji Ridge, but... I don't know the exact location of the altar."

Although their family moved away from the village many years ago, they would come back every year to worship their ancestors. They had never heard of any special altar in Dongjiling.

Shen Wanwan's expression grew increasingly serious, but she still soothed him softly, "Let's go out first and talk while we walk."

As she spoke, she walked out of the adobe house first, and Ah Fu followed closely behind her. As he walked, he recalled the situation at that time and told Shen Wanwan the truth.

Three days ago, after Xuan Bin and his men successfully took control of Xiaoying Village, Afu and Canglang were temporarily placed in the house closest to the village entrance.

"I remember that I was resting in the room, but when I woke up, I found myself locked in the same room with the others. Lord Canglang was right next to me, but our hands and feet had not yet been tied with chains.

"It was Lord Canglang who woke me up, but before we could say anything, someone came and took him away. Through the crack in the door, I saw several other people being taken out from the next room, including Lord Xuan Bin.

"One of them gave people a very strange feeling. He was wearing a black robe and a black veil on his head. His face could not be seen.

"After he appeared, all of us were bound by chains, and a voice clamored in our ears, asking us to submit to him. That voice seemed to have magical power, asking us to dedicate our souls to him in exchange for eternal life..."

Recalling the scene at that time, Ah Fu still looked scared. He always felt that the man exuded evil energy, which made people feel afraid unconsciously.

Shen Wanwan gently soothed him, "Everything is over now. Drink some water first and leave the village with everyone else."

The atmosphere in this village is really weird. It is better to leave first. At least until they have completely dealt with the matter of the National Master, this place is really not suitable for living.

She suspected that the formation set up by the national teacher in the village was related to some evil power such as souls, which bewitched the people in the formation to absolutely submit to him and even offer their souls to him. This behavior was really weird.

Could it be that the more souls he obtains, the faster his cultivation will improve?

Shen Wanwan was shocked by her own bold idea, but if it were not for this reason, she really couldn't figure out what the purpose of the National Master was in persuading others to offer their souls to him.

The others followed the two of them, walking out of the adobe house one after another, and soon came to the place where Nangong Wanning gave everyone spiritual spring water to drink.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the outline of the Dongjiling Mountain was very clear, but it was also very quiet, as if the previous earthquake had never happened.

But the quieter it is, the more uneasy it makes people feel.

Shen Wanwan raised her head and looked towards Dongjiling, her eyes filled with deep worry.

"Wanning, I'll go first..."

Before Shen Wanwan could finish her words, Nangong Wanning interrupted, "I'll go with you!"

He handed the water bag to Ah Fu and said, "For the dozen or so of you, a small sip should be enough for each of you."

At this time, at the entrance of Xiaoying Village.

"Look, the East Ridge is ahead."

"Finally, we didn't continue circling the village this time."

"We've been wandering around for half the night. If we don't get out, I'm starting to think we've really run into a ghost wall."

The discussion was not loud, but every word fell into Gu Beichen's ears.

The soldiers behind him were the ones Shen Wanwan rescued from the adobe house, and they recovered their strength the fastest after drinking the spiritual spring water.

Gu Beichen led them to search the village and only found a few Japanese spies in a house.

They easily captured the man and interrogated him, and learned that when the Imperial Master left Xiaoying Village, he took most of the spies with him, leaving only a small number at his temporary residence.

Gu Beichen searched the house personally but found nothing special, and the spies were unable to reveal any more useful information.

Gu Beichen thought for a moment, killed the man directly, and then led his men to Dongjiling.

But for some reason, the group walked around the village for half the night, going in circles and unable to reach the village entrance.

When he realized something was wrong, Gu Beichen wanted to take his men back the same way, but found that he could not even get back to the vicinity of Nangong Wanning and Shen Wanwan.

Everyone saw the scene of Xiaozhu Longfei flying above Dongjiling. Except for Gu Beichen, everyone was shocked and excited.

But strangely, after that, when they continued to move forward, the situation of circling in the same place did not occur again. They left the village smoothly and arrived at the foot of Dongjiling Mountain not long after.

"Master Xie, look over there, the prince is here with his men."

Feiyue killed the last Japanese spy and looked up to see a group of people rushing towards him. Gu Beichen was walking in front.

The master left with the prince, why didn't she come back with them?

Xie Moxuan wiped the blood off his face, raised his head and looked in the direction of Gu Beichen. He didn't see any familiar figure, and there was a hint of loss in his eyes.

After a while, Gu Beichen came to the two of them.

As he walked along and saw the corpses all over the mountains, his eyes flashed slightly, but the soldiers behind him were in a panic.

"These two killed them?"

"What's this called? Oh, right, killing without blinking an eye..."

"No, no, killing someone is as easy as cutting tofu..."

"Why don't you say they kill people like crazy?"

"What do you know? Master Xie and Miss Feiyue are so amazing!"

"It turns out the rumors are true. They can defeat a hundred enemies alone on the battlefield!"

Feiyue: “…”

They did kill those people, but there was someone else who actually did it. If they were told that the biggest contributor was a five-year-old child, would they believe it?

Xie Moxuan: “…”

Can he say he got a great bargain?

However, the fact that Xiao Zhulong is a divine dragon must be kept secret, otherwise it will cause unrest. Let him take advantage of the situation, and it doesn't matter if he takes the blame for killing people for the time being.

Noticing the expressions of the two, Gu Beichen understood, "All the spies in the village are dead. They will be fine, don't worry."

Xie Moxuan nodded. "There are at least 500 of these Japanese spies. Arrange for them to deal with the bodies. Feiyue will stay here. The two of us will go up the mountain now. Maybe we can help."

Feiyue didn't even think about it and nodded in response: "Yes, I will obey your command!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was strange and suddenly slapped the back of her head. Her current master was not the two people in front of her.

Gu Beichen gave a few brief instructions to the soldiers behind him, then started to climb the mountain with Xie Moxuan.

At this moment, Feiyue suddenly waved to the distance: "Master, I am here!"

Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan both paused and turned to look in the direction of Xiaoying Village.

In the distance, Shen Wanwan and Nangong Wanning were rushing towards this side at an extremely fast speed, and arrived in front in the blink of an eye.

Xie Moxuan and Nangong Wanning looked at each other from a distance, and their eyes suddenly became red.

They both had been through life and death this time, and when they met again, although they had not had time to say anything, they could see each other's feelings from each other's eyes.

"Wanwan, you..."

Shen Wanwan's pale face made Gu Beichen feel distressed. She should have a good rest first.

Shen Wanwan shook her head. "I found Ah Fu in the last adobe house. He said Cang Lang, Fei Ying, and Xuan Bin were taken to the altar. We have to find the altar as soon as possible to rescue them."
