Cheng Ai glanced at the two middle-aged people who had appeared in the restaurant before silently entering the last alternate dimension with Ye Jingke.

Wu Xu's environment was similar to Zhong Zheyi's, the only difference being that one was square and the other was round.

At this moment, he was tightly bound by vines and was frantically kowtowing and repenting before the three phantom figures.

Cheng Ai frowned, her tone filled with shock, "I deliberately put Master Wu at the end of the list, how can you be so slow?"

Ye Jingke glanced at her with a puzzled look, then repeatedly praised her.

It turns out that Cheng Ai had already figured out who those people were targeting; her observation skills are truly amazing.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xu quickly changed direction and continued kowtowing to Cheng Ai, crying, "They want to kill me! Ai girl, help me! Help me! Help me!"

The three phantom figures were so frightened they nearly lost their souls, their eyes filled with terror.

The arrival of this girl signifies that the jade formation has been broken.

Cheng Ai waved her hand, signaling them to relax. "Don't be nervous. As long as you release Master Wu temporarily, I will not only take you out of the barrier, but also give you a big gift."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xu's eyes immediately lit up, and he trembled with joy.

He was surprised to find himself here and meet his old friend. At first, he was surprised, but then he became fearful as he thought about recent events. In the end, he became desperate and prepared to die at any moment.

Wu Xu had also fantasized that Cheng Ai would come, but he was too afraid to place his hopes on a girl who was not even twenty years old.

To my utter surprise, she actually came looking for me!

Given the chance to live, who would choose to die?

Wu Xu knelt down to Cheng Ai's feet, his eyes brimming with tears as he expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Ai girl! Thank you! Thank you! Ai girl's Taoist skills are profound. This humble Taoist is willing to relinquish the position of abbot of Baili Temple to repay your great kindness!"

Some were happy while others were sad. Compared to Wu Xu's excitement, the three phantoms looked ashen-faced.

He finally got to take revenge himself, but it all fell apart at the last minute, and he even lost his freedom. It was a complete loss.

Should we fight to the death?

Oh! They've already died, they won't die again, and the odds of winning in a three-on-three situation aren't very high.

After all, when they were in room 209, they witnessed Cheng Ai's abilities while she was possessing the puppet and pretending to be an examiner. The most miserable puppet, number 4, was the younger man among them, Yu Liangyan.

What? A huge gift?

Aside from being sent to hell by a few talismans, they couldn't guess anything else.

Yu Liangyan didn't want to miss this opportunity that he had waited for for decades, so he decided to tell his family's extremely tragic story to gain sympathy and pity. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Cheng Ai as soon as he uttered a single word.

She looked down at Wu Xu, helped him untangle the vines, and curled her lips into a mocking smile. "To be honest, I have respected you very much since the first time I met you. Firstly, you are an elder, and secondly, you are a cultivator like me. But your performance today has really surprised me."

She paused briefly, then added, "I have already become a disciple of Qingyun Temple, so it is inconvenient for me to take over your Baili Temple. This is not the place to talk either, so please leave now!"

Seeing the three illusory figures hesitate to speak, she raised her right hand, put two fingertips together, conjured a talisman, waved it, and chuckled, "Let me make one thing clear first, I'm just informing you, I'm not asking for your opinions."

After saying that, she took Ye Jingke's hand, pulled Wu Xu along, and walked into the blue vortex.

The three illusory figures looked at each other, not daring to be negligent, and hurriedly followed with trepidation.

With their enemies gone, there's no point in them staying any longer. Besides, escaping the barrier is a good thing.

The moment Wu Xu appeared, the two old men and the two middle-aged men rushed forward and punched and kicked him, while the remaining four intangible phantoms glared at him with hatred.

For a time, curses and pleas for mercy rose and fell, and the scene was chaotic.

Ye Jingke pulled up a chair for Cheng Ai to sit down, while he stood behind her and massaged her shoulders.

Zhong Zheyi was not far from the two, with Song Yifei trembling beside him. Hao Jian and Cheng Baoni huddled in the corner without saying a word, looking like they had been bullied.

Cheng Ai's gaze swept over the camera, her eyes darkening slightly, and she formed a single-hand seal.

With a few sharp "bangs," the camera shattered into pieces. Except for Cheng Ai's solo photo, all the other guests' photos were reduced to dust.

The full moon outside the window suddenly disappeared, and the night returned to the previous one of thunder, lightning, torrential rain, sultry heat, and humidity. If it weren't for the lights in the restaurant, it would probably be impossible to see anything.

Cheng Ai sighed softly and shook her head helplessly, "So my skills in breaking barriers are really that bad. No wonder Master always stops me from going down the mountain to exorcise evil spirits."

She looked at the eight people who had just quieted down and said indifferently, "I don't like it being dark all the time. You should remove the barrier outside the castle immediately."

The all-purpose formation-breaking hand seal I just used can only remove the first barrier; it won't work on the second.

The second challenge is crucial; if it can't be solved, outsiders can't get in, and insiders can't get out. In that case, the entire production team will be doomed.

The eight people looked troubled. After a long while, Xu Qianhui finally said hesitantly, "All the barriers were set up by Yu. We don't know how to break them."

Cheng Ai choked, then lowered her head in frustration. If time could turn back, she would definitely spare the big bird's breath and kill it after it broke through the barrier!

Xu Qianhui's gentle voice continued, "However, Yu said that the barrier's effect won't last long. It will probably disappear around 6 PM on Friday. If you're in a hurry, you can use that blue vortex."

Cheng Ai raised her eyes and smiled slightly, "Teleportation talismans can be pasted on photos, but not in the air. Besides, even if they could be pasted, they wouldn't be able to teleport."

The barrier expired right after the show was finished. Although the big birdman is crazy, he is quite thoughtful.

Bah! He killed so many people; he should be called vicious!

Seeing that Cheng Ai seemed to be in a good mood, Yu Liangyan mustered up his courage and took two steps toward her. "Miss Cheng, we have a blood feud with Wu Xu. Please do not interfere in our personal grievances!"

Xu Qianhui's eyes were filled with pleading as she echoed, "Yes, yes, yes! We've wandered the mortal realm for decades, just to avenge our grievances. If you grant our request, we'll be willing to be your slaves in the next life, at your beck and call!"

Cheng Ai glanced at the half-dead Wu Xu, a mocking smile appearing on her lips. "Let's put all that aside for now. Murdering at night is something no one will know about, so why did you choose to do it during the day?"

She pressed her temples, then changed the subject, "But it's a good thing Wu Xu didn't die, otherwise you wouldn't have had the chance to stand here and talk to me."

Yu Liangyan was startled and asked cautiously, "You've only known him for three days, why are you so protective of him?"

Cheng Ai extended her index finger and shook it gently, saying in a serious tone, "What you do is none of my business, but if even one guest is missing, the variety show will be canceled."

Xu Qianhui quickly floated down in front of her, "Wasn't the game we arranged fun? The online response was pretty good! Is there anything wrong with it? Tell us, and we promise to change it next time!"
