The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

The stars and moon in the sky had disappeared, and the sky, which was about to brighten, was now overcast and looked as if it were about to rain.

Upon hearing what Lian Yao said, Han Yueshi felt her bloodline solidify and her whole body turn cold.

"Lianyao, save me! I feel like I've fallen into an ice cellar, the chill seeps into my very being..."

She couldn't tell if it was real or just her imagination, and she started trembling.

"How did you get into this place? This sinister formation could kill someone in an instant."

Lianyao glanced around and immediately noticed something amiss.

With formations within formations, hundreds of formations linked together, even the ancestor of this cunning man would have no way to make a move.

“I don’t know. We came to the mountains near Qingshuang Mountain to ride horses and hunt. Later, we just found ourselves going around in circles and couldn’t get out. Then, guards from various families found us with cloth figures, and in the blink of an eye, we appeared on a high platform. Han Cuiyin said it was a sacrificial altar. In the end, she asked us to exchange silver for stone beads, but some of the stone beads turned into powder, while others remained intact.”

After Han Yueshi finished speaking, she took out a stone bead from her purse. "This is it."

"Your stone bead is useless now, you can throw it away. Only when it turns to powder will it continue to receive her protection." Lianyao only glanced at it before sensing the remaining traces of its aura.

He had just come out to enjoy himself when he was besieged by Han Cuiyin and her sect. The only one who left a deep impression on him was her.

Regardless of cultivation level, Han Cuiyin is not the one with the highest cultivation level.

It's entirely because she's different.

Among all the bald people, she was the most beautiful, with thick, black hair, and her natal spirit weapon was an inconspicuous wooden fish.

Lian Yao thought about all this and secretly regretted that she had been distracted by beauty, otherwise they would not have found the flaw.

When the incident was brought up, Lianyao wished she could turn back time and go back to the very beginning of their fight.

Han Yueshi was unaware of the conflict between the two, and said resentfully, "My younger sister is the best at being a good person. She's so kind to others, but she's so stingy to her own sisters."

Apart from Li Meiyun and her, everyone else's stone beads were shattered into powder.

"Let's go find them first, then we'll figure out a way to get out."

"Why are you being so obedient this time?" Han Yueshi was surprised. This person had changed so quickly. What kind of bad scheme was he up to now?

Lian Yao lowered her eyes, "You are my master, of course I must listen to you now!"

"Are you really going to be this obedient? You're not planning to be the one who suffers the consequences, are you?"

Although Lian Yao had forcibly recognized the auspicious cloud jade bottle as his owner, Han Yueshi still felt uneasy.

This person's origins are shrouded in mystery, and his methods are ruthless. Hiding in the background as a predator seems to perfectly fit his style.

"Let's go! Go find your lover." Lianyao's words were filled with joy, as if all the injuries she had suffered a few days ago had healed.

"I'm warning you, don't be too greedy. If you drag me into this, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Han Yueshi stroked the jade bottle with her right hand and threatened softly.

"Yes, Master!" Lian Yao gave a wicked smile, grabbed her, and disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, Han Cuiyin, unaware that her mortal enemy had already appeared, led her people on their way.

"The person behind this has grand ambitions, as they have the ability to set up such a large formation."

The deeper you go, the more alarmed you become.

It was a mix of reality and illusion; if she hadn't led the way, we probably would have been trapped inside too.

"Oh no, those people have disappeared again, but this time they're not searching like headless flies." Han Cuiyin frowned, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Be careful, the person behind this is probably about to show up."

She actually hoped it would happen later, so she could play with her wooden fish a little longer.

There was no distinction between day and night within the formation, and some people were unaware of how much time had passed.

These people sat on the sacrificial altar, and the circle grew smaller and smaller.

People disappear without a trace every day.

Before you know it, the people around you suddenly disappear.

At first, about ten people sat in a circle, but as the circle grew smaller, everyone gathered together.

Han Yueshi didn't have time to get close to the Second Prince at this moment, and Lianyao turned into an earring and put it on her right ear.

The two were talking quietly.

With Lian Yao protecting her, none of the people around Han Yueshi got into trouble.

Those with strong observation skills have already figured out the pattern.

The first to disappear were all adult men, especially the guards; the strong and healthy ones were the most dangerous.

After those people disappeared, only a few pieces of cloth remained on the ground.

At this point, the girls disregarded their image and put aside their past grievances, gathering together.

"Fifteen left, it'll be our turn soon. Is that dark-skinned girl lying to us? She clearly wrote an IOU, so why are we back here?"

"Maybe that black girl is the culprit. She's the one who orchestrated it all. Otherwise, how could we have left so easily, only to end up back here just as we were about to leave?"

Gradually, on the increasingly empty sacrificial altar, the soft sobs gradually turned into loud wails, all within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The third prince hung his head, muttering to himself, "It's all my fault! It's my naughtiness that has ruined everyone!"

The second prince grabbed his arm, shook his head at him, and gestured for him to remain silent.

Xu Tianyun kept trying to find a way to break out of here, but his long sword slashed in several directions without any effect.

The hopeful gazes of the crowd were completely extinguished.

"Master Xu, please wait a moment. Have you noticed that no one has disappeared from either Miss Han's side or our side?"

The second prince was very observant and had wanted to bring up this issue for a long time.

Someone was about to disappear, but was saved by grabbing a guard next to Han Yueshi.

"Oh, is that so?" Xu Tianyun put away his weapon and looked in that direction. It was indeed true.

Han Lingzhi was taken aback, then smiled helplessly. Her older sister had always been lucky; even at this moment, she was still able to attract attention.

Meanwhile, Han Cuiyin and her group were busy on their journey. She was also anxious to contact Muyu, but for some reason, the message seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

"Is something on your mind?" Luo Jingqian was the first to notice that something was wrong with her, and he slowed down.

"Wooden fish has disappeared, and those people have gone missing. This is probably not a good sign."

Han Cuiyin was somewhat worried.

She needs the help of a wooden fish for many things.

At this moment, the wooden fish was also in a bad situation.

"Senior, the wooden fish in the black mist seems to be the one Miss Han kept in the cold pool. I wonder why it appeared here." Qingshan had a chance to catch his breath, so he quickly gave Zhao Feilan some holy water to help him recover his spiritual power.

Junior brother miscalculated this time. They came smoothly, but they suffered a great loss when dealing with the clan leader's lineage.

Many members of the Yan family's collateral branches also perished.

Yan Xiao didn't know martial arts, so she could only hide in the Yan family's courtyard.

Fortunately, Han Cuiyin made some changes last time, so that courtyard is now the safest place.

Zhao Feilan had recovered somewhat and was about to go and fight Yan Qingping again.

"Senior, wait a moment. The Yan clan chief is acting strangely. He was about to be dealt with by you, but suddenly the black aura intensified. There must be something fishy about this. This is what Miss Han asked Third Master Yan to bring. Why don't we take a look at what it is?"

Qingshan handed the storage bag to Zhao Feilan, saying, "With Yan Qingping like this, we definitely can't beat him. We need to plan this carefully. Now we need to get out of here and ask Miss Han for help."

Zhao Feilan sat down helplessly. "Alright, let's wait for now."

When he opened the storage bag, his eyes lit up. "Qingshan, we don't need to wait anymore. With these things, we can fight him now."
